According to the current Soviet agricultural model, collective farm members can also run a small vegetable garden in front of their home, or carry out other restricted side businesses. This behavior is protected by law.
However, the current total of the original residents of the three collective farms is less than a thousand, and tens of thousands of people have fled here from other cities and villages. They are complete proletarians, and after being incorporated into the collective farms, they are unable to start any side businesses.
Because, under the current military control, even the original villagers of the three villages have to stop their sideline business, all the food has been requisitioned, and ordinary people cannot operate vegetable fields and grow potatoes. Their only sideline business is fishing.
, however, the ponds within the control area have been transformed into fish ponds, and if you want to fish, you can only go to the big river.
Those who can rely on fishing to satisfy their hunger are basically some members of the Catfish Village. Fortunately, the climate has entered a warm period, and foods like mushrooms that often appear overnight can somewhat alleviate the people's hungry stomachs.
Yang Mingzhi boasted that he had won some rights for the people during the war years, and the overall rations had been greatly increased. The result must be good.
It's just that this policy is all based on a bumper potato harvest.
Sarinchkin officially announced the decision of the Novgomel Municipal Committee. After the morning bugle sounded on May 9, the production groups of each collective farm immediately went to the designated fields and started digging.
If there are professional machinery, this kind of digging will be very fast. At present, collective farms can only rely on manpower. In order to dig out huge amounts of potatoes in the shortest time, they can only use the subjective initiative of each village.
The matter about potatoes came to an end and the venue went into a short break.
Yang Mingzhi knew that Salinchkin would be preparing to report on military arrangements next. Basic decisions on such matters had been made at the preliminary meeting. Basically, once the break time was over, he had to get on the podium to announce the document.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest now, Yang Mingzhi quickly drank some water to moisten his throat.
Regarding what just happened, while drinking water, he also observed the words and expressions from the corners of his eyes. Yes, many people were looking at him.
Fuming gave him a gentle squeeze and sighed: "You, this time you have raised the upper limit of the ration to three kilograms. It seems that you have extremely high expectations for grain production! We will start digging the ground tomorrow. I think,
We should also discuss whether we should increase the construction of granaries!"
"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi quickly put down the kettle and responded seriously: "I believe Lyudbarev is also thinking about this in his mind, and there will definitely be a meeting about the granary in the future."
"Oh? So what do you suggest?"
"My suggestion? Of course, dig a cellar! Since we are already mass-producing cement and burning bricks, we should build some dry cellars to preserve these!" After saying this, Yang Mingzhi's mind flashed, and he simply said violently
Turning around, he looked at Fuming with a keen eye: "You really reminded me of this! We are already mass-producing cement! In this way, we can build larger underground warehouses. Compared with storing food, I
It would be more appropriate to hold the ammunition! Although this possibility is not very high, we have always had the possibility of being attacked by enemy bombers. Our air defense capabilities are very poor. The Germans can blow up the wooden houses on the ground and we will blow up the arsenal.
The loss is huge! I will definitely mention this later!"
…
There is a twenty-minute break. This is the time for people to go to the toilet, smoke, whisper, and organize paperwork with the clerk.
At this time, Salinchkin and Lyudbarev had a conversation outside the conference room. As for what they talked about, Yang Mingzhi no longer wanted to guess. He was entirely focused on increasing the organizational structure of the army.
According to today's meeting schedule, the last part is to announce the adjustment of the military establishment.
After a while, Salinchkin came back. He glanced at Yang Mingzhi casually and revealed many questions.
"Hehe! It seems that the two people have already reached an agreement and there is no problem with increasing the ration." Yang Mingzhi's words to himself also reassured the two people around him.
Yevlov echoed: "Your words still have weight. If it were me, I would not propose increasing rations for the villagers."
Yang Mingzhi grinned and rolled his eyes at him: "So you are a very good soldier!"
He did not say any more, but sat upright, as if welcoming something. Yevlov's stomach murmured, what did he mean by this? Is it a compliment? Of course, as a soldier, you must be a good soldier, but his attitude was obvious
It's not all a compliment.
As Yang Mingzhi expected, when Salinchkin spoke again, he was asked to go to the podium. Because this was a military matter, it was most meaningful for the commander of the group army to read it in person.
Yang Mingzhi held this piece of kraft paper. On it was a string of words printed in type. The contents were all the contents of previous meetings compiled by the clerk.
After a brief scan, there was nothing wrong with the document, so Yang Mingzhi read it loudly.
"Now I announce that the 63rd Group Army has added two new regiments! The original Locomotive Guerrilla Brigade was organized into the First Regiment of the Independent Regiment. The former Black Bear Guerrilla Brigade was organized into the Second Regiment of the Independent Regiment. They were rescued in the battle that just ended.
Each of the five thousand people was organized into six standard infantry battalions and organized into the above two regiments.
Comrade Peronisky, commander of the First Regiment of the Independent Regiment, and Comrade Medvedev, commander of the Second Regiment, stand up!"
Accompanied by numerous applause and surprised expressions, the two men stood up in high spirits. They saluted the people around them and finally stood up straight.
Yang Mingzhi continued to read: "The Independent Regiment is a new organization for the 63rd Group Army. The two regiments are directly commanded by the group army headquarters. Now, I announce the garrison locations of the two regiments!"
Yang Mingzhi was startled when he read this! After scanning the documents, he still didn't find this place. Recalling the preliminary meeting, he seemed to have no opinion on the issue of the new troop garrison. Apparently, Yevlov, Fomin and others had already
A decision was made.
Yang Mingzhi, who was holding the document, slightly rolled his eyes at the two people in the audience, and continued to read it out.
"The first regiment of the Independent Regiment is stationed in the new military camp on the right bank of the Pripet River and is responsible for local construction and extensive military reclamation in accordance with regulations.
The Second Regiment of the Independent Regiment, the entire regiment is stationed in the sulfur mining area, responsible for local construction, assisting in the care of prisoner of war camps, and carrying out extensive military reclamation in accordance with regulations.
Since the two regiments have just established their establishment, the troops still need to rest and reorganize. After May 20, the two regiments rushed to the camp!"
The two regiment leaders are no longer guerrilla captains. Many people have died in the fighting over the past year. Their reason for fighting was originally to simply survive. Now they have a higher mission - to defend the guerrilla republic and the motherland.
The two of them did not burst into tears with joy. They were trembling with excitement as they accepted this important appointment.
In Yang Mingzhi's mind, he was not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of these two independent regiments. The so-called many people had been captured by the enemy was a concern of the political committee who arranged the past, and the elite troops despised their behavior of surrendering. These five thousand
There were people with different physical conditions. The 3,000 people with the highest quality among them were organized into six battalions and handed over to Peronisky and Medvedev, and some grassroots political commissars trained by Yelentina were transferred there to strengthen ideological study.
Perhaps, these two regiments will become an army that dares to fight, but it is impossible to imagine that their combat effectiveness can be improved to the level of a paratrooper brigade.
Even if they are established, they are more of a strategic reserve until these soldiers finally develop flying legs, strong endurance, and relatively reliable marksmanship. They have the most basic "expeditionary operations."
Up to ability.
Of course, Yang Mingzhi estimated that based on his own training methods, such troops would definitely be considered elite among other Soviet troops...
