It was only after seven o'clock, and the situation was urgent. Yevlov personally rushed to the municipal party committee office and personally found Salinchkin and Lyudbalev who were reviewing documents.
His intrusion was a bit unexpected, so Salinchkin put on his small glasses and rolled his eyes at him.
"My comrade general! You shouldn't be so reckless."
"Yes! Comrade Secretary! But he is back!"
"he?"
"Yes! He! Is back!"
Yevlov deliberately emphasized his tone, and Salinchkin completely understood. Their work was temporarily suspended, and an emergency meeting was held directly in this office.
Salinchkin was also very excited about horseback riding and cavalry, especially in this battle. Womansky sent more than 300 highly mobile cavalry led by his young nephew to rescue the Jews.
The refugee operation was a huge success. He even wrote an article about it and reported the good news as soon as possible.
On other matters he was very worried, and still is.
"Well! Very good! Comrade Berekov once again proved him with actions! According to statistics, we have saved a total of 8,000 people, of which no less than 5,000 can be quickly converted into the Red Army." As he said, Salin
Chikin glanced at Lyudbalev.
"Very good. Although those five thousand people were prisoners of war, as long as they rejoin the Red Army, we must act in accordance with the leader's orders, that is, we will no longer pursue their previous mistakes."
"We still need a simple trial!" Salinchkin said meaningfully, "Now, they will arrive at the ferry as soon as the sun sets tomorrow. We must take action against those people! If there are any who will harm our people after surrendering,
Behavior, such elements must be tried according to the law!"
The two bureaucrats exchanged words with each other, and Yevlov's excited face gradually calmed down. He sat aside and listened to the two old guys talking.
They seemed to have settled the matter and finally had a formal conversation.
Salinchkin knocked Erlang's leg and said: "Comrade Yevlov, they are about to arrive. The municipal party committee means to immediately prepare enough food for 10,000 people. From now on, the canteen will start working overtime to ensure that every day
Each non-combatant was given 400 grams of bread. We sent some more people to set up a big pot by the river, and we cooked a large amount of newly caught catfish to make fish soup. Do you think this kind of meal arrangement looks like?"
"completely fine!"
"Okay, let's do it like this! After the bread is made, you arrange some soldiers to act as porters and transport the grain and the cauldron across the pontoon. Remember, those rescued prisoners of war must become our fighting force.
Let them feel our sincerity in the first place, so that they will no longer be afraid of being persecuted!"
…
A team of 8,000 people made a triumphant return along the route that the troops had withdrawn into the swamp a year ago. After concluding the meeting, Yevlov directly ordered the telegraph operator to contact Catfish Village.
The Rosakov Division of the German Arms Regiment stationed there received the order, and that was the forefront. This unit temporarily acted as a porter!
For Roshakov and Klavsky, his regiment is really busy right now.
These soldiers always have good food. Due to the favorable geographical location, their food includes a lot of fish and fish oil, so they all have good strength. Naturally, these soldiers serve as very good construction workers, from Catfish Village to Blacksmith Village.
The railway was under intense construction and they were in urgent need of a large amount of wood, so they immediately turned into lumberjacks.
Fortunately, now, the victorious troops are about to cross the border. They are an unprecedented number of 8,000 people, which has exceeded the existing residents of Catfish Village.
"I have obviously sent two battalions to build houses on the other side of the river, and now the commander has asked me to send out the entire battalion! The actions of the superiors are really too big!" Rosakov complained helplessly. What should be done must be done! The logging guy
The work can only be left entirely to the manpower organization of Catfish Village Mayor Boboski, which will undoubtedly reduce the efficiency of road construction.
The time has quietly entered May, and Yang Mingzhi has been counting the time. He estimates that the Southwest Front Army and the Southern Front Army, after the counterattack two months ago, have formed a protrusion in the east of the Donbas Basin, and now they will finally continue to expand their results.
.
That is to say, the major counterattack in the direction of Kharkov should be launched within two weeks. Regardless of whether this battle is won or not, the 63rd Group Army is likely to receive some combat orders.
In this case, we must be prepared for larger-scale operations.
When he thought of this, Yang Mingzhi guessed that Timoshenko might order him to attack Kiev. Even if he is favored in every way, his army is nothing special.
Like frontline soldiers, they are all cannon fodder and consumables.
From Timoshenko's point of view, if there is a surprise attack on Kiev, it will undoubtedly bring major benefits to the Kharkiv front line. This decision is very reasonable, since the 63rd Group Army is very good at fighting and has created several military
It is not impossible to create a miracle again. The bald commander must think so!
Yang Mingzhi Alexander, his rocket launcher can fire several rounds at the German army. As long as the troops approach Kiev and declare a threat, the German army will definitely mobilize its troops to move north.
This will indeed reduce the pressure on the front line, but in that case, Novgomel will undoubtedly set himself on fire and sacrifice himself to illuminate Timoshenko. This fearless spirit is very nice to hear, but that's all.
Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to carry out any military orders handed down to him, otherwise the position of commander of the group army would be directly removed, and the necessary actions would still be necessary.
May 2nd was a cloudy day with relatively humid air. Early in the morning, the troops packed their bags and started a new journey.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sky began to rain. The rain was not heavy, but the dense light rain wet people's clothes in a short period of time.
"This is really awesome! I don't even have an umbrella or a raincoat. God, you can't wait until it rains the day after tomorrow!" He looked up at the sky and cursed, saying that he had to go.
The only good thing is that the thick humus under the pine forest has great friction, so there is no need to worry about the damn mud for the time being.
The sudden rain caused a lot of trouble for people returning, and it was even more troublesome for Roshakov's troops who were transporting materials to build houses.
What else could he do? He might as well bite the bullet and do it. The newly baked and sliced black bread had to be placed in wooden boxes. Last year, it was covered with a layer of cloth and shipped box by box to the settlement in Hexi, which was under construction.
Point. Considering that this kind of weather can easily make people sick, doctors from Catfish Village Hospital also allocated their hands to cross the pontoon.
Compared with the German army, rain became the biggest enemy. The march slowed down and the people suffered terribly.
There is only one thing people can do - endure!
After noon, the rain suddenly started to intensify, the dark clouds were very low, and a heavy rain began. The forest blocked some of the rain, and people were still wet. Yang Mingzhi knew that a large number of people would get sick during this trip.
Compared with others, he is most worried about the three girls. Natasha is in good health, Yang Tao is in good health but may be pregnant, and the most troublesome one is Liu Hongxiu. This little girl from Hunan has the weakest body.
of.
Yang Mingzhi, like thousands of others, could only endure the heavy rain silently, and no one had anywhere to hide.
Regular troops are easy to handle. Among all the equipment, there is a huge cloak, which is woven from canvas and has certain waterproof capabilities.
The situation for others was so bad that they had to endure the rain.
The three girls followed Yang Mingzhi closely. They were gathered together wearing a cloak, their hair was wet, and their bodies were not uncomfortable.
The temperature plummeted due to rainfall, and Yang Mingzhi was very worried.
"Little Pepper, just hold on and wait until tomorrow. You and your two sisters can take a nice hot bath!"
The girl in pain burst into tears and smiled: "Uncle, I am strong, you don't have to worry."
"Then keep persisting. I hope you won't catch a cold or have a fever..."
