An accident also occurred during the investiture ceremony. Salinchkin took a moment to take a moment. The ceremony was temporarily suspended and everyone took a break.
Yes, you should rest for a while!
Yang Mingzhi sat on a wooden bench to the side. It was still unknown what military rank he would be awarded. Maybe Major General? But the designation of the 63rd Group Army was not a new one, but the designation of the army that had been completely wiped out. This was also the original information.
Unreached.
Salinchkin didn't mention this at all during the daytime meeting, and Yang Mingzhi immediately asked about it.
At this moment, Salinchkin had wiped the sweat off his forehead, and he was indescribably excited.
This Chinese was finally naturalized and became a Soviet citizen. He is indeed a military expert! His few words of conversation clearly demonstrated his "strategic overall view". This man can join the Soviet Union and become a general of the Soviet army. He is really the Soviet Union.
What a blessing, what a blessing to Belarus!
He explained: "Now you have also seen that several of us are very surprised. If I explain the exact words at the meeting, the whole meeting will be boiling again. How can the meeting continue like this? In short, we have inherited the 63rd
The number of the army group. This army that was completely wiped out was resurrected in the area where she died."
Yang Mingzhi smiled knowingly, "In a sense, it is indeed a resurrection!"
"Like a phoenix?" Yevlov joked, "But I think it's too unlucky for us to use this designation for annihilating the entire army?"
Yang Mingzhidao has not thought about this issue carefully. After thinking about it for a while, it seems that the German army prefers the number "6". Unfortunately, this number is not a lucky number. In that dimension, since Paulus's Sixth Army was under Stalin's
The entire army in Gullah was wiped out, and the newly formed "Sixth Army" was only beaten by the Soviet army.
But I am not Paulus!
Yang Mingzhi waved his hands and looked indifferent: "Maybe it is unlucky for other people, but as long as I am here, I will not let the resurrected 63rd Army fail!"
Anyone with a little common sense understands that failure means death! So will the newly born 63rd Army die? Of course it is possible. If the enemy gathers a large force group and launches an all-out attack at any cost, Novgomel will fall
It's not impossible. This possibility exists, and everyone knows it, but no one will make any statements about failure.
Yevlov was full of information for his old buddy. He boasted: "Yes! With you Berekov here, I have nothing to fear, and the military and civilians have nothing to fear. You are now finally worthy of your title."
As the group commander, you have absolute military power! For you, you can finally let your hands and feet go!"
Yang Mingzhi felt warm in his heart. No one would be unhappy to be praised. He also understood that he was now in a high position and would be truly responsible for the 40,000 people of Novgomel. The responsibility was not unimportant. But he could bear the responsibility today.
Who else could have this important responsibility? Who else but myself?
He stood up and said: "The 63rd Army was buried in Zhlobin on the banks of the Dnieper River, and our Novgomel was downstream of it. Our newly born 63rd Army will avenge itself and its profits! The most important thing for an army is
It is the military soul. We inherit not only the serial number, but also the military soul. We are the resurrected феникс (Phoenix of the West), we breathe fire and burn the Germans to death!"
"Your description of being burned to death is very appropriate!" Yevlov felt it was funny and quickly clapped his hands and said: "Your new weapon is advertised as more than three thousand heat, which is exciting to hear!"
The two grown men looked at each other and smiled.
Salinchkin coughed twice and shouted: "Okay! You can get excited later, I have already rested, and now we have completed the awarding ceremony!"
…
The ceremony continued, and Salinchkin continued to recite the unfinished part.
After reading through the red tape, we finally came to the most critical part.
Sarinchkin paused for a moment and then emphasized his tone: "With immediate effect, the commander of the 63rd Army, Comrade Belekov, will be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and the deputy commander of the 63rd Army, Yevlov, will be awarded the rank of major general."
After he finished speaking, the office became unusually quiet.
"What? Lieutenant General?!" Yang Mingzhi was shocked!
"That's right! That's Lieutenant General! Comrade Berekov, your new military rank is Lieutenant General!" Salinchkin repeated it three times in a row because it was important.
Still surprised to see him, Salinchkin handed the document over directly, and his deputy also held an oil lamp to increase the lighting. Yang Mingzhi stretched his head, and he finally saw the spelling of the word clearly. As the commissioner said, it was indeed a lieutenant general.
"It's unbelievable. I'm actually a lieutenant general? There are so many exciting things today, but this one excites me the most!" Yang Mingzhi covered his head with his hands, and his figure was out of shape again.
Zi almost yelled, but was suppressed by reason.
Salinchkin rolled his eyes at him: "Otherwise, what do you think it is? A major general? That's impossible. The commanders of army groups are all lieutenant generals, and the deputy commanders are major generals. There are regulations in the army in this regard."
Compared with Yang Mingzhi, Yevlov's mood is much more stable. He knows it well. After nearly twenty years of hard work, he has reached the high position of major general from a private soldier. It can be said that he has something real.
Are you a man of practical talent and learning, who has repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield?
Thinking of this, he became much more humble.
Today was a lucky day for Yevlov. He was promoted to deputy commander of the group army. He was very happy. Because he was well versed in the regulations of the Red Army, he knew that he would be awarded the rank of major general from the moment he was promoted to deputy commander.
.
The excitement has now dissipated a lot, and with it comes the huge responsibility that lies ahead - am I really capable of being the deputy commander?
Salinchkin explained a little, and Yang Mingzhi was relieved. After the lieutenant general, there is the general, and after the general there is the marshal.
Becoming a Marshal of the Soviet Union? This is unlikely! Although my ambition is great, I still don’t think too much about the rank of Marshal.
After the document was completely read out, Salinchkin finally ordered his deputy to open the wooden box and take out the "patterned cloth" inside. The so-called "patterned cloth" was the new epaulettes and armbands.
"Everyone is here! Stand at attention!" Salinchkin shouted: "Now, I will wear new epaulettes and armbands for you two!"
These are the 1940 style. The lieutenant general's epaulettes have one star and one star, and the armband has three stars. The major general's epaulettes have the same style as the lieutenant general, except that the armband has two stars.
Salinchkin quickly took off the shoulder and collar badges of the two men, quickly replaced them with new ones, and stood at attention and saluted: "Congratulations, Comrade Lieutenant General, Comrade Major General."
Yang Mingzhi quickly returned the gift. He stood up straight and put on a brand new epaulette. His whole person became different.
He became a lieutenant general, especially this epaulette, which he had seen before. During the retreat, he was also quite popular, because the remnants of the 284th Division only had the largest number of troops in his special anti-tank battalion. These deeds allowed him to compete with Kurtz
Nezov was chatting and laughing. That person was the lieutenant general, and he was wearing the same style of epaulettes!
Kuznetsov is still leading an army group. Perhaps he is currently fighting a tug-of-war with the German army in Vyazma. If that person knew that the legendary battalion commander was now a lieutenant general. He
