When Yang Mingzhi returned, the welcome event had already ended. He sat in the passenger seat of the jeep and looked at the scenery on the roadside with interest.
The so-called road is also a dirt road. The road surface is compacted as much as possible. Some sections of the road are paved with logs and covered with soil, cinders and gravel excavated from sulfur mines. Although it is bumpy, at least it is still a road.
"In the past few days, the progress of the railway should be very good!"
Even at the mine level, every village has opened trains, which makes transporting materials more efficient, and senior personnel can travel smoothly.
It was already afternoon, and Yang Mingzhi simply ate some bread and finished his lunch. The lonely jeep drove into the village without causing any commotion.
Jeep did not show off, but went straight to the army headquarters.
At this moment, Salinchkin had already received the letter, and he stayed directly in the headquarters, waiting for the return of the group army commander.
There was a commotion outside the door and a honking of car horns announced his arrival.
"Comrade Secretary, our hero is back! Let's go greet him!" Yevlov, who had already put on his white gloves, stretched out his right hand and stood up with a smile.
"Okay! Finally adjust the hat collar and let's go!"
For Salinchkin, he must keep his appearance neat and tidy today. The expedition team returned triumphantly, and their commander arrived belatedly. He had to stay in top condition until he saw Belekov himself.
Just like the performance of those soldiers during the review in the morning.
Here, Salinchkin indeed had something very important, so much so that he couldn't wait to hold a meeting, and Belekov must be present at this meeting.
Yang Mingzhi held his briefcase under his arm. As soon as he opened the car door, the door of the headquarters' main office opened.
Yang Mingzhi raised his head slightly, and he was not surprised at all. The two men were waiting again. What was surprising was that they were dressed too formally. Look, they even wore gloves that they didn't use at all.
These actions are really scary. Could there be something big going on today?
Salinchkin greeted him with a smile. He walked quickly and quickly stretched out his right hand.
"Comrade Berekov, our hero! You are finally back! What, you are the only one back today?"
Yang Mingzhi was puzzled by this sudden enthusiasm. "Of course I'm not the only one. My soldiers have already returned in the morning. They should have had lunch in the Blacksmith Village."
Yevlov smiled and said: "Of course! They should be fast asleep now! It can be seen that they are really exhausted from this battle."
Now, Salinchkin has stretched out his hands, only holding Yang Mingzhi's right arm, "There is only one car here, and you are the only passenger. It seems that you are the only one! I also thought that your wife was also following.
Back! Is Bessika okay?"
"Of course she is fine! Thank you for your greetings. What's wrong? Could it be that the superiors finally decided to award Bessika a medal?"
"The matter about those two girls has not been settled for the time being, but you are leading the troops to fight, and I have received a piece of good news from you. You will definitely be happy! Let's go! Let's go into the house and talk in detail!"
Yang Mingzhi considers himself a very pragmatic person, and so does Salinchkin.
Sorkina, who was memorizing the code book at the same time, saw the superiors arriving. She quickly acted as a waiter and filled the big teapots of the three superiors with black tea. She also looked at the hot water kettle behind the corner. Obviously, this girl was trained.
Very good, she might be more beautiful in a maid uniform. Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then glanced at the code book spread out on another small table, secretly satisfied.
After taking a sip of tea, Salinchkin finally said the good news that had been filled for several days in a very calm manner: "Comrade Berekov! This is good news. The guerrilla army you proposed to establish at the meeting
The Socialist Republic has been approved by Moscow! In other words, we could actually use such a country name three days ago to expand our business."
Look at this guy whose forehead lights up when he takes off his hat. He is a little too excited.
The corners of Yang Mingzhi's mouth turned up slightly. Was he surprised? He was not surprised.
Since Stalin strongly supported the Guerrilla Republic in that plane, there is no reason not to support it or hesitate in this plane.
Salinchkin saw Yang Mingzhi's subtle attitude and asked with a grin: "What? Is it possible that Comrade Berekov is not very satisfied? Listen, Comrade Leader and the Supreme Soviet have fully approved and granted
My new appointment."
"New appointment?"
"Of course! New appointment!"
Finally, history is on the right track in this matter.
At the end of the enlarged meeting, the telegraph operator spent the whole night transmitting the contents of the meeting and the final summary report to Moscow in the form of telegraph codes. The Innovgomel antenna was hung high, and a clear signal was captured by Moscow.
When the documents were streamlined by the authorities and turned into a brief report and submitted to Stalin's desk, he approved it without hesitation. Seeing that the leader was so decisive, other officials did not object.
The person who most supported this matter was undoubtedly Stalin himself, followed by Ponomarenko.
The guerrilla movement across the Soviet Union finally came out of its post-war trough. More than a dozen large-scale guerrilla groups suddenly emerged in Belarus. Some of them were trained troops focused on guerrilla warfare, while others were purely people's armed forces.
, the common point is to avoid fighting with the enemy's main force as much as possible, and to attack traffic lines, sneak attack patrols, and destroy enemy warehouses as the main combat modes.
In Soviet Russia, the guerrilla warfare model was more grand. Organized guerrilla groups and guerrilla brigades were directly under the command of Moscow. Their combat effectiveness was stronger and their combat model was more like a regular army.
The effectiveness of this combat method for most guerrillas cannot be judged by how many Nazis were eliminated. Their dense presence undoubtedly brought huge resistance to the Nazis' logistics and indirectly supported the front line.
In this regard, the troops in the Pripet Swamp have achieved several firsts. That is, they are the first in strength, the first in population control, and the first in combat effectiveness. They are also unique, that is, in that guerrilla zone,
The local Soviet army was completely self-sufficient and could produce its own weapons.
A small chemical plant has been successfully constructed and put into operation, various handicraft workshops are available, and government agencies have been established, such as education, transportation, security police, etc. All the departments that should exist in the city have been restored as much as possible.
It can be said that they basically have everything a country should have, which is why they are growing stronger amid the tight siege of their enemies.
Just giving that unit the designation of the 63rd Army may be an understatement. Fighting under the new name of "Guerrilla Soviet Republic" not only adapts to their actual status, but also declares to the Nazis that under their so-called occupation
District, the local people not only resisted, but also established a new socialist country and became part of the Soviet Union!
Therefore, Comrade Ponomarenko, the general leader of the guerrilla movement, naturally became the First Secretary of the Guerrilla Republic, Salinchkin became the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, and Yang Mingzhi also received an exaggerated new position!
"What? Me as the Minister of Defense?" Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi felt like he was trying to make a fool of himself.
"That's right!" Salinchkin responded seriously: "Now that the Guerrilla Republic has been accepted by the Alliance, the appropriate departments should also be established! Maybe you think that our mere tens of thousands of people are, at best, the population of an ordinary city.
In fact, starting from May 1st, the area under our control is a fully legal Union Republic!"
Everyone here knows the benefits of fighting in the name of a country. Its existence can also cause a severe wave of hatred, and everyone knows it.
Salinchkin patted Yang Mingzhi's shoulder meaningfully: "Comrade Berekov! I have conveyed the new appointment of the leader! Your shoulders have to bear a huge responsibility. Now, in the entire Soviet Union, everything is directed towards the military. We
The Guerrilla Republic is in a state of combat and preparation at all times. You, the Minister of Defense and the general person in charge of the military, must bring us victory. Just like today, our great victory!"
This flattery came from the commissioner from Moscow, and Yang Mingzhi felt extremely comfortable hearing it. This man took orders directly from Stalin, and now he was simply conveying Stalin's direct instructions, as if Stalin himself was standing here!
Yang Mingzhi put away his excitement, straightened his face, and extended his right hand to salute the military salute. "I will protect the Guerrilla Republic, so you can rest assured. As long as I am here, we will be invincible!"
