"Oh? Is there such a thing?" The curiosity of Tepunov and others was completely aroused. The three new arrivals, because the paratrooper brigade is well-equipped, they naturally have a sense of superiority. When they first saw these full
The friendly troops wearing patches suddenly felt uncomfortable when they thought about having to listen to their orders in the future.
Now that an ordinary, temporarily promoted battalion commander said this, even a fool knows that this place is not simple.
Seeing that they were very curious, Vasilyev became even more enthusiastic. He simply said: "Comrades, you must know very little about our actual situation when you come from afar. Look at these my soldiers, they are actually Jews!"
"What? Jews!" Zalaski, the brigade political commissar, was shocked. "They are really Jews?"
"Indeed! There are all men here, how about I order them to take off their pants!" Vasilyev was about to give the order, but was quickly stopped.
What surprised Zalaski was that he himself was a Jew. When the situation was explained, the soldiers were also shocked. Since everyone has such an identity, the original discomfort disappeared.
"We Jews are targeted by the Germans. They are killing us crazily just because we are Jews! I am very happy to see that my nation can take up arms and fight actively!" This is what Zaraski said from the bottom of his heart,
Of course, he did not forget to add: "In any case, the Germans are actually targeting the entire Soviet Union, and all ethnic groups in the Soviet Union are targets of massacre by the enemy."
"That's right." Vasilyev nodded, "I think you can go meet our division deputy chief of staff. He is a Jew. He fell from the sky during the last airdrop. Our division chief of staff is Chinese..."
Tepunov quickly stopped the new comrade who was about to talk endlessly. He said eagerly: "You better not go into details. Now take us to the division headquarters! One of our tasks is to see our comrades as soon as possible after landing.
New commander!"
"Okay! Come with me! Get in the jeep and let's go faster!"
These words surprised Tepunov. They actually still have a jeep? They encountered a lot of new things just after landing, and it doesn't matter if they have one more. Now he just hopes to meet with the commander of this unit earlier to complete the task.
own tasks.
Led by Vasilyev, several people quickly arrived at the battalion headquarters.
This is a small open space next to the forest path, which has now become a distribution center for supplies. Many carriages are waiting here, and soldiers are throwing sacks upwards. Some even have the remnants of this small parachute.
Similarly, some officers and soldiers of the 233rd Paratrooper Brigade have gathered here. Their heavy equipment has been unloaded and loaded on carriages. Most of them are taking a short rest and preparing to go straight to the Blacksmith Village under the guidance of the supporting troops. After seeing the brigade
At this moment of waiting, the loose soldiers immediately stood up nervously and threw away the cigarettes in their mouths.
"Comrades, congratulations on your safe landing! Now we must obey the arrangements of our new comrades!" Tepunov had his own urgent matters, so he didn't say anything to the subordinates in front of him.
He noticed the jeeps parked here and the temporary radio room, which made it look like a frontline headquarters. Unfortunately, many of the equipment here were German equipment, and the soldiers of Vasilyev's battalion were not dressed in uniforms.
The lack of order makes the overall feel nondescript.
Vasilyev did not realize that it was very important to go back early to report the matter. In addition to ordering the telegraph operator to report it immediately, he simply acted as the driver. He shouted to the three people who were still looking around: "Don't wait any longer.
, Comrade paratroopers! Let’s get out now!”
So, what else are you curious about? Tepunov and others quickly got into the car. Even though they had hundreds of doubts, after entering their collective farm and meeting their commander, everything would be revealed.
After seeing the commander leave, the serious paratroopers also started their actions. All the paratroopers who were searched threw their equipment into the carriage until the vehicle was fully loaded. They lined up and moved forward together, led by the soldiers of the 284th Division.
Get off and go straight to the blacksmith village.
Twenty or thirty paratroopers were often gathered at each assembly area, and they began to organize them to advance towards the Blacksmith Village. The collected supplies were also transported as much as possible. In this regard, the military horses captured after many previous battles played a significant role.
effect.
On the other hand, Yang Mingzhi boasted that his physical strength had recovered a lot after the transportation was completed. He knew that he really should not continue to show off his ability, and as a military commander, he continued to return to the division headquarters to coordinate the overall situation.
By chance, two guards came from the division headquarters like a storm. Their panic made Yevlov, who had just recovered, quite dissatisfied.
As the division commander, he first ordered: "Two young comrades, you should pay attention to your military appearance and etiquette! Friendly troops will gather soon, and you must ensure your good image."
After he finished speaking, a soldier standing like a tree stump stated: "Division commander, their officers will be here soon! They are the chief, deputy brigade commander and political commissar of the 233rd Paratrooper Brigade."
"So fast!" Yang Mingzhi, who was listening on the side, was quite surprised but also very happy. He showed off to Yevlov: "What do you think now? The soldiers and civilians I created dispersed into the forest. The large-scale search was really correct.
Less than two hours after the paratroopers landed, their top commander was found!"
"Your ideas are always wise! But the commissioner hasn't been found yet. He's probably hanging on a tree. You have to do the rest yourself! How is your health now? Are you tired from carrying sacks just now?
bad?"
"I'm in good health. As for the commissioner sent by the leader, to be honest, I really don't want to see him. I really can't stand anyone telling us what to do."
"But after all, they are the people sent by the leader, and we must obey." Yevlov shook his head.
To be honest, even in that dimension, Yang Mingzhi did not have any experience in moving grain. In the past, farmers had to put wheat grains into snakeskin bags or sacks. Each bag was often fifty kilograms. The seemingly frail old farmer could carry several grains a day.
Ten bags. Yang Mingzhi had just moved a few bags. He thought he had no problem, but his shoulders were a little sore now.
Yevlov nodded and said: "Okay, you know that I am not as smart as you. When I meet those officers, you, Berekov, have to take the lead in negotiating."
"What about Yelenkina?" Yang Mingzhi asked, "That woman is better eloquent than me, and she is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
When he talked about that woman, Yevlov couldn't get angry. He pointed at the guy who was still leaning on the sack to rest. "Now you have seen that she also moved some things, and now she is tired and paralyzed. You
I often do physical training, but that woman does not. Let her go to sleep now. And Lyudbalev and other municipal party committee members who are not good at physical work, let them rest first."
"That's fine! Anyway, when we meet you for the first time, I don't want to have it be like a meeting. Let's go to the division headquarters now!" Yang Mingzhi waved his sore arm and began to think about how to meet you later.
