This impromptu meeting is to solve the problem of militia training. Currently, the 284th Division controls four collective farms. Among them, Rosaskaya, the small forest village, has very few surviving villagers. For this reason, the troops rescued everything on the retreat road.
Ordinary people were temporarily assigned to this village and a new collective farm was established in the new area.
In the other three villages, large collective farms still exist, which makes it easier to carry out work.
Yevlov looked at everyone and began to read from the document in his hand, which was his notebook.
"Based on the current statistical results, the total number of militiamen in Xiaoshulin Village is 105, the militia in Catfish Village is 92, the militia in Black Earth Village is 143, and the militia in Blacksmith Village is 135.
people, the total strength of the militia force is 483, which is equivalent to a battalion."
"This is really a large number of people." Yang Mingzhi was a little surprised.
"There are a lot of people on the books. There are more than 70 underage militiamen here, and there are more than 250 female soldiers. The militiamen are different from the regular troops. Their physical fitness and military skills are very poor."
When Yevlov said this, the village chiefs of the militia were beside him. Even so, Yevlov was not polite at all. This was war after all. He looked at Yang Mingzhi and asked: "Berekov, I
I know you have always hoped that the militia troops can immediately go into war. In this way, they will quickly grow into veterans in the war. But in the face of the current situation, how many of them do you think can survive after the first battle."
This question was on point. Yang Mingzhi asked himself, maybe he had really acted too hastily.
"Perhaps we can adopt the method of veterans leading new recruits." Yang Mingzhi had an idea. "We train militiamen until they can at least master basic military skills and can shoot. Then they will be assigned to our existing troops, for example, all
The young soldiers of the youth camp, these people will be supervised by me personally."
Yevlov chuckled. This Belekov seemed to prefer young girls. He was already working on training girls who were still children to become female soldiers. Including her wife Besika, who is also a minor.
child.
It is very normal for men to be lustful. Yevlov likes mature women, such as Yelentina. Such wild women fascinate him. It turns out that this Belekov has special preferences.
Anyway, this guy is very good at fighting. Yevlov raised his head and said: "How to arrange the militia? You are currently the deputy division commander and the staff officer who is also responsible for our division's operations. How to arrange the most appropriate candidates should be your task."
It sounded like Yevlov just didn't care. Yang Mingzhi smiled with satisfaction, he had obtained the right to distribute the militia.
"Okay, okay. Maybe you already have a plan, and now I have some plans of my own. In order to avoid some troublesome situations, let's just allocate all militiamen by age and gender. We no longer allocate companies by villages, kid.
They formed the youth battalion, the women formed the women's battalion, and the others formed the reserve battalion."
This distribution method disrupts the organization of the collective farms. If this is not done, the militiamen from a village form a militia company and achieve great victory in the battle. They may not listen to orders and rashly maximize their profits. They may also suffer losses.
After a huge explosion, the morale of the entire company will completely collapse, and they may all become war mad.
Just like the regular army, most of the original soldiers of the 284th Division came from various regions of Belarus. Cliqueism does not exist at all, and the soldiers only know their commanders and political commissars.
In this way, the previous "Minsk Battalion" was immediately cancelled, and except for women and children, the remaining people formed a reserve battalion. As the name suggests, these soldiers will be inserted into the regular army after passing the training.
Yang Mingzhi is a recognized "expert" on how to carry out guerrilla warfare. Yevlov did not object to his new militia distribution plan, and neither did Yelentina and Fomin, who were senior political commissars.
However, the militiamen are not off-duty soldiers. After necessary military training, they have to return to the village to carry out daily production operations.
"The militiamen will be allocated according to my method. After lunch, all the militiamen will gather at the airport. We will reorganize them into troops and distribute weapons at the same time." Yang Mingzhi finally elaborated.
As soon as the weapons were issued, the eyes of several village chiefs shone. Yevlov himself admitted that the small arms in the army were actually very abundant, and if they were not abundant, it was of course ammunition.
At this time, the head of the Blacksmith Village assured without hesitation: "If it is reloading bullets, our Blacksmith Village has an absolute advantage."
Yevlov's eyes lit up. The meeting started in a hurry. He hadn't asked Yang Mingzhi about what he saw and heard in Blacksmith Village. The militia matter came to an end, and now it was Yang Mingzhi's time to speak.
"I think Catfish Village is not a suitable strategic base for us in the future. In my opinion, Blacksmith Village is very suitable for the core of our future guerrilla warfare."
Why do you say that? Yang Mingzhi immediately explained the geographical disadvantage of Catfish Village, even if the village leader Boboski was not happy.
"Of course we passed through the Pripet River, but Catfish Village is too close to the river. If the Germans attack us, we may be within the range of their heavy artillery. Furthermore, the land conditions in Catfish Village are not as good as those in Blacksmith Village.
It is more suitable for farming and growing potatoes. Furthermore, our airport is also a huge disadvantage. Once our guerrilla activities become more frequent in the future, Catfish Village will be a key target of the enemy's attacks. When the German army discovers that we have an airport, I am afraid that the intensity of the attack will be
Even more tragic."
No one thought so long-term. The existence of the airport could ensure the arrival of Kiev's supplies bit by bit. After the airport was completed, the Soviet army not only continued to airdrop supplies, but also took off and landed transport planes to deliver some heavy equipment. Fuming said: "
Catfish Village does have some disadvantages, but the advantage is that it is on the front line of the war. We have built observation posts here, and Kiev is assisting us in the hope that we can observe the movements of the German troops in real time."
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "I'm not saying that Catfish Village is a hopeless place. I think that Catfish Village can maintain its current role. In the future, the division headquarters should be moved to Blacksmith Village. We will station a small number of people here in Catfish Village.
The army will do. In the future, Blacksmith Village will become a small town."
The Blacksmith Village has its own unique advantages. It is located in a place with a lot of flat land, and there are even dirt roads leading to Lechica and even Gomel in the north, and also to Mozyr. However, as far as the road conditions in Belarus are concerned,
After rain, dirt roads often turn into knee-deep mud roads, especially in swamp areas.
Fortunately, the autumn rainy season has not yet arrived, the land is quite dry, and the traffic conditions are passable.
But the biggest advantage of Blacksmith Village is still the villagers living there, many of whom have experience working in the arsenal decades ago.
"Yevlov, we can immediately reload the shells in the blacksmith village. They have ready-made potassium nitrate and sulfur. They can also start manufacturing grenades immediately. More importantly, the production of secret weapons can be carried out there."
Just one day later, after an investigation by Berekov, Liguschkov's self-promotion yesterday was obviously true.
"Can we really mass produce the weapons we need?"
"Yes. In the future, our soldiers will be able to carry a large number of grenades and fight in small areas. Grenades will be an important heavy weapon for the guerrillas. Think about the results we achieved with some of the grenade fighters we adopted later."
Yevlov looked at Liguschkov, this man was full of confidence.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "It can not only be used as a good arsenal. We only have one blacksmith, Old Ivan, but there are many people like Old Ivan over there. We can produce a large number of daily utensils and a large number of shovels.
, hoes, they can all be produced.”
It sounds like Blacksmith Village has the potential to become a small industrial city. Even though Sparrow is small and well-equipped, Belikov has such a high opinion of it, which is obviously what the village has earned for itself.
Therefore, Yevlov agreed with Yang Mingzhi's decision, and in the future, the army's activities gradually tilted towards the Blacksmith Village.
We can't move too quickly, Yang Mingzhi estimated: "Before 1942, we gradually moved the means of production, and eventually we will spend the New Year in the Blacksmith Village."
For lunch, the villagers ate bread and potatoes. Naturally, Yang Mingzhi went home. His home was the same as the barracks of his directly affiliated troops. His wife cooked some vegetables, and her cooking skills were acceptable.
In the afternoon, all the militiamen gathered urgently at the airport, including Yang Tao. During the meal, Yang Mingzhi fully informed her of his decision. From now on, the health worker Yang Tao will be a female warrior. "You are still a health worker, but a teenager.
The health officer of the battalion. This battalion has a small number of people and will be under my direct command from now on."
The militia soldiers did not have uniform uniforms, and all wore regular uniforms. Each of them was armed with a rifle, and some of them also had submachine guns. However, the weapons they used were basically German-made weapons, all of which were captured during the Mozyr blockade.
Ordinary militia units will start training immediately. The instructors will be veterans of the active military units. As for the political commissars, those from Kiev will fill this vacancy.
Naturally, Yang Mingzhi was also at the scene of the shooting. The new young soldiers were all childish. There were fifty recruits, more than thirty of them were girls. Think about it, Russians develop faster, and many teenagers see
They act like adults, and those guys think they should be put into the regular army.
"First company commander! Lavrenti! Second company commander! Yevgeny!"
"Yes!" The two of them followed Yang Mingzhi.
Yang Mingzhi turned his head: "From now on, I will be responsible for supervising these children. In daily training, Lavrenti, you are in charge of the boy soldiers, and Yevgeny, you are in charge of the girls. We will still follow the old rules."
In this way, these children, who were only issued weapons but not ammunition, have become militia fighters. What awaits them next is arduous military training, which must teach these recruits how to shoot and how to survive the battle as quickly as possible.
These children have the firepower of youth, and each of them is eager to fight and make meritorious deeds. Most of them are probably seeking revenge. Many of them joined the army because their fathers died in the war. In short, they all have their own purposes in becoming militiamen.
In the previous training, the twenty teenagers trained for a longer time. Since they were of the same age, they might be more reliable as instructors to train the new teenagers, as they were older and rougher veterans. Yang Mingzhi watched the queue of these children with interest.
For training, he knew that these children must quickly master military skills, and the same is true for all militiamen. The iron hoof of the invaders will not give them more opportunities at all.
It is now August, and the German onslaught in Ukraine has never stopped and cannot stop.
The airport has been divided into multiple areas, and intense training has begun.
Many management models between the Soviet Union and the later New China were similar. For example, most of these children joined the Soviet Young Pioneers. This organization originally had some military implications. Therefore, educating these children to stand in line does not require much effort from instructors.
But they are still children. After the war started, the children were out of school. They were supposed to go to school in Lechica and board in that city. The German army had conquered Lechica. Fortunately, the school was evacuated urgently and they lived in the countryside.
The children went home one after another, thus escaping a terrible fate.
The reason why I say this is exactly what the Germans are doing. They are collecting Belarusian teenagers on a large scale. For example, Natasha, who had great potential before, if she was still in school in the city, she would probably have already
Treated as a slave, she will be sent to Germany to work as a maid.
Therefore, when mobilizing these children, Yang Mingzhi deliberately exaggerated and angrily denounced the crimes of the invaders. This made the children very frightened and gave them great hatred for the enemy.
Everyone can sing the Internationale, starting with Yang Mingzhi, and all the children sing in unison. At this moment, Yang Mingzhi plays the role of political commissar, and even Yevlov has to admit that this Chinese guy does have a way of managing soldiers.
In this way, after a short emotional exchange with the children, the fear and hatred of the invaders are rooted in the children's minds, and then these negative emotions are transformed into fighting power. Defeating the enemy is to save yourself, and even more, to save your country.
They have obviously trained harder, and their goose steps are also sonorous and powerful. Looking at them, these sunny young girls are participating in the war, and they will soon be involved in a bloody fight. Is it exciting or regrettable?
At this time, Yang Mingzhi was a little confused. As the sun set, these young soldiers were still training until the aunt in the village took a big spoon and greeted everyone to eat.
