Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters dig potatoes (three)
Yang Mingzhi had no intention of using the loudspeaker to announce to the whole village that the commander of the group army would dig the soil himself. This was too arrogant!
He is not a person who enjoys great achievements, but it is still necessary to vigorously publicize the matter of digging potatoes himself. Without bothering the propaganda department to write the article, he deliberately led his guards, lined up, and carried them like guns.
Holding the shovel, he strode onto the dirt road leading to the canteen.
There is a short distance between the military dormitories and the collective farm residences, and the military canteen is naturally not open to the public, so he can be seen showing off, that is, a large number of military personnel.
Even if they have to go to the fields in the morning, early morning training for soldiers is indispensable. Yang Mingzhi's time is very good. When the soldiers finished their exercises and washed up, and went to the canteen to receive their morning meals, they happened to see such a team - dozens of them.
Soldiers dressed like farmers walked neatly through the door of the canteen under the leadership of one person.
There are multiple military canteens in Blacksmith Village. Different units have fixed canteens, and each canteen has a fixed number of chefs. This measure makes logistics very efficient when it comes to meals for soldiers.
Yang Mingzhi came to this canteen very purposefully, because the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment ate here regularly every day.
Therefore, when Lavrenti and Yevgeny led the troops to dinner, they directly saw such a team.
The sun was shining brightly at the moment, and the temperature was quite mild. All those people were seen, with their bright white arms exposed, except for the one at the head of the team whose arms were brown.
The two of them couldn't help but think too much, they already understood.
"It's really bad! What did the commander think? They came here to have breakfast? Why was there no notice at all?" Lavrenti couldn't help but become nervous.
Yevgeny closed his eyes and thought for a while, then speculated: "Look at their clothes, it seems that the commander is planning to go to the fields to dig potatoes himself! Moreover, he will come to our canteen to eat in person, and soon he will lead us to dig the fields himself!"
This explanation made Lavrenti very excited, because the second regiment had a military spirit! Along with that company, Lavrenti was transferred to the management of the Chinese from the other side of the Amur River to manufacture new weapons. At first, he despised it.
Yes, with the great success of the weapon, his attitude instantly changed to admiration.
The infantry regiment from the Far East was transferred to Belarus and expanded into the 284th Infantry Division. The Chinese Belekov became a battalion commander and was promoted to company commander himself. Recalling his prosperous years, that man from a foreign country
Relying on his military exploits, he served as the commander of the group army, and he was promoted from a grassroots soldier to a regiment commander.
The current Second Regiment of the 284th Guards Infantry Division, it took 20 months from an ordinary infantry company to become what it is today. The current commander of the group army is the one who gave the army the soul!
Lavrenti suppressed his excitement and shouted at the advancing column: "Comrades, pay attention! The commander of the group army is in the canteen. Everyone lifts their chests and moves forward!"
…
Yang Mingzhi dressed like a farmer, and his words and demeanor seemed to be more philistine. He even chatted with the middle-aged woman who was bringing rice for a while, and then left with a lunch box filled with boiled potatoes.
According to common sense, he should have bread and milk for this meal, so he tried to avoid it by being friendly to the people. This was actually not a show, all he wanted to do was finish breakfast as quickly as possible.
Three pieces of boiled potatoes were sprinkled with some salt on each. Yang Mingzhi prepared his tableware. With the order, the guards finally swallowed their saliva and began to eat.
Yang Mingzhi pretended to be elegant and cut the whole potato into small pieces, then picked it up with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Nowadays, no soldier is surprised by the use of chopsticks. In fact, many soldiers have begun to imitate because of the good practice. In fact, some people are not imitating, because the captured tableware is limited, and eating with hands is more rude and may cause stomach upset.
It is a good idea to cut two sections of branches with a knife and use them as tableware.
It was precisely because of Yang Mingzhi's graceful handling of two wooden sticks that he was immediately targeted by two people.
At this moment, soldiers entered the canteen one after another. They lined up in long lines to receive breakfast in the large wooden building.
Two uninvited guests quickly arrived at Yang Mingzhi's place.
Yevgeny and Lav could not hide the excitement on their faces, but Yang Mingzhi disagreed. He waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone sit down."
The two people sat down excitedly, acting like two excited children. Before they spoke, Yang Mingzhi spoke first: "Now, please stay calm! I think you are very curious as to why the officer is dressed like this.
, and carrying a shovel? Yes, I am here to participate in digging potatoes, and I will dig in the military reclamation field that your regiment is responsible for!"
"This is a good thing!" Lavrenti slammed the table.
"Sit down and sit tight!" Yang Mingzhi ordered sternly, "This is the cafeteria, please eat honestly."
After he sat down, Yang Mingzhi put away his seriousness and smiled: "Okay! I can understand that you are happy, because I am also very happy! You are my elite troops. I think after more than a month of rest, your strength has been improved.
You have recovered a lot! You two have participated in the meeting. The superiors will issue military action orders at any time. At that time, the second regiment must join the battle!
So, how is the recovery of the Second Regiment going? I’m too lazy to read the briefings you write to the headquarters on a regular basis. I will personally integrate with you and make an overall assessment of the Second Regiment through this potato digging operation!”
Suddenly, a heavy burden fell on their shoulders.
It is true that the commander participated in the excavation to help, and it is also true that he took the opportunity to evaluate the troops. The soldiers must ensure that they dig meticulously! Can they do it? Of course they can!
The two stood up almost at the same time, holding their heads high and making their pledges.
Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction and said meaningfully: "It depends on your performance! You'd better hold a meeting with the platoon leaders before digging the ground. This time there will be propagandists coming to observe, and there will be people who will do this
Writing a special report is related to the honor of the second regiment!"
The pressure is even greater, and there are actually reporters? Yevgeny and Lavrenti know that a newspaper called "Novgomel Times" has been established. They are an upgraded version of the previous propaganda organization. Because of limited paper, it is impossible to expand
They printed newspapers on a large scale and put them in everyone's hands. So they put new newspapers on several bulletin boards in the military camp every day.
There are not many articles in the newspaper, and its advantage is that they are not the same every day. They describe the war situation and the decrees of the guerrilla republic, and more space is used to promote heroes. For example, the battle that started at the end of April is over, and during the battle
Another group of fighting heroes became active. These days they are the protagonists in the newspapers!
Unfortunately, these heroes basically come from reconnaissance battalions and paratroopers. One day the newspaper even opened a column for female soldiers.
This made the Second Regiment, which had been the absolute main force for a long time, very uncomfortable. Lavrenti and Yevgeny were eager for honor, and immediately launched an operation of digging potatoes. Its significance was simply no less than a battle! It must be a great success!
