Yang Mingzhi's promotion to group commander began to spread among the military and civilians almost as soon as it was announced.
Therefore, when he went to the shooting range of the youth camp to find his wife in person, Yang Tao already knew everything. It was funny, it was a soldier from the guard company who had some good intentions to tell her personally about this happy event!
The unit was upgraded to a group army? My husband became the commander?
Star Tao immediately mobilized her memory, and the memory time reminded her of the man named Kuznetsov, who was a group army commander. Therefore, during the retreat a year ago, her husband ordered the 284th Division to obey him as a matter of course.
command.
That man commanded a large-scale troop equipped with armored vehicles, with a strong lineup of 60,000 people. However, the war failed and many people died. Even so, Yang Tao clearly remembered the man named Kuznetsov.
, abandoned the heavy equipment, but still took the remaining 30,000 people under his command, passed through this swamp and headed straight to the east...
"Brother! You will really lead tens of thousands of troops in the future!" Yang Tao was ecstatic, and it seemed that everything was developing according to her husband's prediction.
I once vowed that as a general, I would lead the troops to counterattack into China, expel the Japanese and restore the country. These fantasies have really become reality little by little!
At this moment, Natasha and Kharkiv, who had mostly recovered, heard the soldier's report in full.
Compared to Star Tao, who was trembling with excitement, Natasha had to doubt it, because what the soldier said was simply unimaginable. But she did not doubt it for long, because at noon, this incident spread throughout the blacksmith village as breaking news!
The news is true that my husband has been promoted and the unit has been promoted to a group army. So as the lowest-level unit, especially a unit like the Youth Battalion with inherently worrying combat effectiveness, what should we do? When Yang Tao, Natasha and others add up, the entire battalion has only
Only by training more intensively can we make further achievements in future battles and be worthy of the name of the newly formed 63rd Army!
Therefore, the training in the afternoon was increased. Not only target training, each person was assigned more bullets, but hand-to-hand combat training was also specially added before this.
This group of thin children, holding rifles with spikes that looked like short spears, shouted hurrah at the top of their lungs, and stabbed at the sandbags. In a real hand-to-hand battle, because they were too thin, they obviously had no choice but to be tortured and killed.
Kharkiv naturally knows this. His injured arm is already hanging, and his men have returned. He needs his soldiers, especially the newly added children, to be brave.
"So-called soldiers! They must be brave! You have to imagine the sandbags as enemies, stab them into their bodies, and imagine the sand flowing out of the sandbags as the enemy's blood!"
"Only brave people can not be afraid of the enemy and not wet their pants in real battles!"
He had to yell these slogans at the top of his lungs. Nearly half of the youth camp was lost in the last battle, but the new recruits were mainly girls!
Many younger sisters have been added to his army, and some of them still look very immature. Can such girls become brave soldiers? Kharkov has no choice, the number of soldiers he can provide is just like this. Teenagers have been assigned
By the time he reaches the regular army, Kharkiv can already become a regular soldier according to his age. But without her, the youth camp can basically be disbanded.
It is precisely because the current situation in the youth camp is that Yin is rising and Yang is declining, Kharkov must emphasize courage.
These girls, who can be called Lolita, mostly come from cities, and all of them are or have been Young Pioneers. They quickly accepted the reality that they were forced to be drafted into the army. During target shooting training, they became accustomed to the recoil of guns.
and gunshots.
But during the simulated battlefield training a few days ago, many people were still so scared that they peed their pants! How could the battalion commander Kharkiv not panic, and how could the shooting instructor Natasha not panic?
After finishing the bayonet training, target shooting training quickly began.
Natasha always believed that sharpshooters were fed by bullets, and that he was exceptionally talented. Everyone increased their efforts in target practice, and before the sun went down, everyone had to shoot out fifty rounds of bullets (forty-round reloading training)
ammunition and ten original rounds).
The shooting range is not that big, but the number of people in the youth camp has expanded to nearly 200 people. This training will definitely last for a long time.
"Relax your whole body, spread your legs, and don't tense your shoulders, otherwise it will hurt you!" Yang Tao was half-crouching and instructing a blond girl. From the physical point of view, she was actually the younger sister.
The same is true for Natasha. She seems more patient than Star Tao. She knows even better that there is still a pair of eyes staring at her at this moment - Kharkiv.
Looking for the sound of gunfire, Yang Mingzhi led the guards straight to the shooting range of the youth camp. His sudden appearance really scared a lot of children. After all, for these recruits, the awe of senior officers is simply profound. Even when everyone is still in school
At that time, I was taught how to be polite when meeting senior officers of the Red Army.
Kharkiv suddenly saw an officer who he thought was wearing a big gold star coming towards him. When he looked carefully, he saw that this was the deputy division commander. No! He was now the corps commander!
"Everyone gather immediately!"
With a roar from Kharkov, the target-shooting soldiers stopped shooting, and the resting soldiers lined up urgently. In just twenty seconds, the seemingly chaotic crowd formed a matrix.
Yang Mingzhi was startled, these children moved too fast! Among the many children, he recognized his wife at a glance.
Look at her small appearance, with her boat-shaped hat neatly worn, and she is actually standing at the head of the team despite her short stature. Her expression is serious, and it seems that the wife is deeply aware that "there are no couples here, only superiors and subordinates."
"They should know about me!" Yang Mingzhi walked to the front of the team step by step and inspected the troops.
This is when he once again looked at the entire youth camp in the past twenty days. Girls actually accounted for more than half of the team. It was not so much a youth camp as a new female military camp!
As usual, Kharkiv jogged all the way and stood upright in front of his superiors, saluting and reporting: "Report to the deputy division commander...comrade commander! The entire youth battalion has been assembled, please give instructions!"
They really knew what they were doing! Yang Mingzhi responded: "Youth camp! Everyone resumes training!"
Target practice continued, and it was really gratifying to see Kharkov again today. Yang Mingzhi knew that the flesh injury would be almost fully recovered within a month.
Obviously, Kharkiv also held back thousands of words. He said goodbye to the superiors who had promoted him all the way, and he was unhappy with a lot of things that he didn't want to say.
Yang Mingzhi was sitting on the side of the shooting range. Kharkiv, Yang Guo and Natasha were surrounded by the three children as if they were surrounding their father.
Kharkiv began to talk non-stop, and Yang Mingzhi listened attentively like a father, and finally responded: "Very good! What I want is not just your statement, but your actual actions! Next time in combat operations, give
I have a good record!"
"As ordered! Comrade Commander!"
"Okay, okay! Don't be so serious now!" Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and asked the excited young man to sit down again.
At this moment, Yang Tao pursed her lips for a long time and finally found the right voice to speak. She resolutely leaned half of her body, her whole face into her husband's arms, and asked loudly: "Brother! Have you really become the commander of the army? We have already obtained
News, the army has been upgraded, and you have also been promoted!"
His wife is so close to him. If no one is around, he will not hesitate to rush to her, hug her and share the happy event!
Yang Mingzhi nodded deeply and said: "I know you have received a lot of news, and I must tell you that these news are true. The 284th Guards Division and the 233rd Paratrooper Brigade were incorporated into the 63rd Group Army today.
Lekov is the army commander, and Comrade Yevlov is the deputy army commander!"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Tao's suppressed excitement was aroused again. She rushed forward without any scruples, and hugged her husband's neck tightly with both arms...
