The commendation meeting ended, and the long-lost joy spread to all the collective farms. The people of the www.biquge.info do not have a strong concept of being prepared for danger in times of peace like soldiers, they only hope that life can be peaceful, and they believe that soldiers can protect this rare peace.

Now, the people realize that the Soviet Union is not isolated in this war, and that the future will no longer be the Soviet Union as a single country against the Nazis and their client states. Life is more difficult now, no matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as the Tsarist period? At least there is still enough potatoes to feed the belly. Life was very difficult, and after all, there was no famine, and that was enough.

In contrast to the festive atmosphere in the residential quarters, in the barracks, Yerenkina asked the lower political commissars to restrain their troops and be vigilant at all times.

Yang Mingzhi here, he himself was also worried that the enemy would counterattack, after all, they had suffered a lot of losses this time. The loss of personnel and materiel aside, the most terrible for the Germans, their representatives of the Nazi party in Lechitsa were killed! This is a political event that goes beyond military action.

Therefore, the troops must take precautions, and on the second day of the commendation meeting, a new order came.

After some discussion with Yevlov, Yang Mingzhi decided to strengthen the defense.

"All fighters will build defensive positions in various defense areas according to the schedule. The fighters will go into the forest to cut down and create new defensive positions. Some people will carry out new road construction projects......"

This was only a preliminary plan, and Yang Mingzhi hoped that the three collective farms would quickly establish a basic defensive system before the Germans had a clear plan for retaliation.

In the Moscow defense, 800,000 citizens, mainly women, carried shovels into the outskirts of the city, they dug anti-tank trenches, dug trenches, laid barbed wire. That is why Moscow was able to quickly build up a defensive line, and in the war, the citizens achieved remarkable results.

In the swamps, it is not yet necessary to dispatch so many people, it is enough for the soldiers to establish an offensive.

At present, the most important thing is to establish a good road system, so that the troops can quickly and exclusively fight.

Because it is necessary to defend, two people are very important to Yang Mingzhi, that is, Roshakov and Kravsky. These two led the remnants to break out of the battlefield in Ukraine and fled all the way into the swamp.

They were not deserters, at first they were still guilty of not fighting bloodbath to the end, and now the two of them have proved with a series of practical actions that breaking out is the most correct decision.

"Roshakov, this man is really a material for positional warfare." Divisional headquarters, Yang Mingzhi teased Yevlov.

"Of course. Compared with the guerrilla warfare you advocated, the survivors of our troops are basically veterans who are proficient in positional warfare. Our 284th Division is already the elite of the elite who are proficient in both combat methods. ”

The division commander's summary was very correct, and Yang Mingzhi himself would have liked to hear Roshakov's personal report to him about the details of some of the columns of the defensive battle in Khomnich. After all, the devil is in the details, and this private meeting is simply in your own home. Yang Mingzhi invited him to the dinner.

Because he wanted to feast his subordinates, Yang Mingzhi simply cooked it himself.

Lao Maozi is always too simple to eat, this time he and his wife simply rolled noodles and made a little beef sauce (in fact, it is to mash the canned beef of the German army into a paste), and this meal is fried noodles.

It was not the first time that Roshakov had eaten the craft of the deputy division commander, both of them were very good cooks. It was a great honor to be personally entertained by the chief, and Roshakov deserved it.

Discussing things during meals is what the Chinese like the most. Roshakov felt a little inappropriate, because the chief asked very military questions, so he talked about it, which seemed too casual.

Yang Mingzhi put on a smiling face: "Comrade, what I want to know is the specific defense of Homnich that you arranged." As a temporary regimental commander, you fended off the attacks of two enemy infantry regiments and withstood the heavy artillery bombardment of the enemy. These valuable lessons will be important for the future defense of our swamps. ”

"Really? Our resistance is actually very difficult. ”

Yang Mingzhi scratched his head and said to his wife: "Xiao Tao, you go to Natasha's house now, her training should be over, you two sisters can talk." ”

Star fruit nodded and left with interest. Then came the men's time, where they were discussing military issues, perhaps secret conversations or something, and the gossip was avoided.

Roshakov suddenly felt a little subtle, it seemed that the deputy division commander did not call himself casually to discuss, but saw the notebook he also brought.

"You talk about it now, and I'll record the important things. You should pay attention, I am more concerned with the details of the problems you encountered in commanding operations. ”

In this way, he relied on his memory to tell how he had resisted, and how the Germans had broken through the line and killed the city.

"In other words, because tank crews were finally dispatched, the German offensive was finally suppressed." Yang Mingzhi asked.

"That's right! Those enemies were given death orders to break through a corner of the defensive line. For this reason, they also sent people to feint from the flanks, and our army's defense line on the front was breached, and many people were killed. Speaking of which, he had to complain: "The enemy's armored vehicles are tricky, and their final onslaught is based on these." The machine-gun barrage made it difficult for our troops to defend effectively. ”

"Well, what about anti-tank guns? And what about our rockets? None of them? Yang Mingzhi asked, and the answer he got was yes.

"The combat effectiveness of our rockets is average, and the firing method is no different from that of two hundred years ago. It is mainly to kill and damage the enemy infantry, for armored vehicles we need more power. Unless the deputy division commander can continue to improve our rockets! ”

These words reminded Yang Mingzhi. Previously, the 284th Division was able to block the onslaught of the tank regiments of the German 7th Panzer Division with rocket-boosted grenades. Now the 284th Division has lost all its rocket-propelled grenades, replaced by pure rockets, smaller in size and less powerful.

Roshakov took the opportunity to talk about a lot of the past. "I heard from the veterans of our army that when the war started half a year ago, it was the invention of the deputy division commander that made great contributions to our army, which gave us the name of the guard. At that time we were using a very powerful individual weapon, very similar to our current one. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "That's a soldier rocket-booster grenade." ”

"If it's so good, why don't we continue to produce it?"

Roshakov's question is simply nonsense, all this is still not due to the fact that the conditions of production in the village of Black Soil are not up to the mark. But the troops do need high-powered weapons to compensate for the fact that the current forces are almost exclusively small arms, resulting in poor firepower.

Can RPGs still be built? If it is improved, at least there are rockets now, and if you improve it, the warhead will still be a rocket boost instead of a pure rocket.

This can be considered, Yang Mingzhi said: "Your words are worth thinking about, I also think that the current rocket is very bad." Manufactured into large rockets, which Podovich's fighter jets had proven to be viable, just too much gunpowder and explosives. I figured I should find a way to try to recreate a rocket-propelled grenade! Even if it has a shorter range, it can be our firepower guarantee! ”

……

Roshakov said a lot about the details of the battle, and these will turn out to be paid attention to in the future construction of fortifications. As for him bringing up the RPG matter again, Yang Mingzhi thought about it, and he simply started a new round of design immediately. That Rigushkov, he was able to build a large rocket on board, which proved to work very well in actual combat. He should have a way around the RPG problem. (To be continued.) )
