The time has come to the last day of 1941, and tomorrow is the New Year's Day of the 1942 Gregorian calendar. The Soviets www.biquge.info more concerned about Christmas in the Russian calendar seven days later, and not so much about New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar.

This day is quite important for Yang Mingzhi

There were two major events on this day, the first of which was that Yeretina was going to raise her throat and speak to the rescued soldiers. Another, in the afternoon, Balzen's convoy transporting scrap iron was about to arrive at the blacksmith village.

Early in the morning, the morning call wakes people up early, and Yang Mingzhi is no exception.

"Oops! A busy day is about to start again. He sat up on the bed, stunned for a moment, and then rubbed his eyes. The wife next to her was still lying on her side, and the corner of her mouth was hanging.

"You should get up too." Yang Mingzhi pushed her a few times. This girl twisted her body coquettishly, and she had no intention of getting up.

It's no wonder that it's too normal for a girl of this age to lie in bed. However, Yang Mingzhi is already a soldier, and she is not a soldier either.

Of course, you must be decisive in dealing with soldiers, and Yang Mingzhi should have helped her up as soon as he gritted his teeth......

The star fruit finally woke up after washing her face, and the outdoors was already in a commotion at the moment.

It is always a little time-consuming for women to wash, and at this opportunity, Yang Mingzhi shaved his beard again. For him, he was already covered with stubble after the battle, and in order to be clean and tidy, he had to use a sharpened dagger to operate on his face, and the harsh environment dagger was the best razor.

After the two of them washed up, Yang Mingzhi took his wife out of the door, never thinking that Yelenkina had already gotten up quickly, and looked at it with a smile.

"My deputy commander, you are moving slower than a soldier today. Did you go too far with Bessica at night? ”

"Come on." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand, "There are important things in a while, so don't joke." ”

Yerentina's face instantly became serious, she patted her cold cheeks, and twisted her neck: "Come with me, I have to hold a meeting for those soldiers in a while." ”

It was a shame to be captured by the Germans, and then to be rescued, which is a miracle. But many of these soldiers, with a natural sense of guilt, do not know in their hearts what their future path holds.

In short, they knew that it was the 284th Division that saved them, and this infantry division was almost wiped out, so they turned to 300 kilometers and hid in this swamp. They did not do nothing, but instead attacked the German troops around the swamp again and again.

The reason why they can be saved is the request of the Southwestern Front Command, and the rescue operation is in their larger battle.

There were more than 2,000 of these soldiers, and most of them were still wearing their own military uniforms. But the military coats were taken away by the Germans, for which many fighters froze to death. Now in this blacksmith village, some of them have even changed into new coats, and some are wearing villagers' coats.

They got up early in the morning, went to the square of the blacksmith village and lined up neatly, waiting for the arrival and lecture of the political commissar of the 284th Division. It was a woman, and she was still from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and these identities couldn't help but make the soldiers jealous. But the deputy division commander, this man with a Tatar face, his attitude towards people was very reassuring.

The wait didn't last long, and Yerenkina didn't mean to make a tirade.

After eating something to cushion their stomachs, she and Yang Mingzhi came to the earthen platform in the square. The sound equipment was ready so that Yerenkina could hear Yerenkina shouting into the microphone.

"Today is already her one-man show, you and I will just listen to her on the stage." Yang Mingzhi said to his wife, thinking that this remark was not his own business.

No, Yerentina's time has come.

She first made a decent statement, and then got to the crucial part.

"Comrades, you are still alive anyway, and if our army had not been ordered to come to the rescue, you would have been transported to Germany proper, where you would have been enslaved with little food. What awaits you is death, so surrendering to them is self-defeating.

This is not some false propaganda, think of your dead comrades. Their coats were taken away from you, and as a result, many people froze to death! ”

These words instantly resonated with almost everyone. Originally, for many people, surrender was not the original intention, but it was the decision of the officer. As it was, the logistics had collapsed, the rations and ammunition of the ordinary soldiers were stretched, and if they continued to fight, they might not have broken through yet, and everyone was starving to death. Surrender is an officer's order, and the low-level soldiers don't want to starve to death, maybe they can still live if they surrender.

The fact that this woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can say this proves that there is something special about her thinking, which is more humane, and everyone has let down their guard.

"Comrades, it is an order of the command of the Southwestern Front to rescue you, and Marshal Timoshenko ordered us to save you and co-opt you. As long as you voluntarily return to the Soviet Red Army from your heart and in your deeds, you will still be our comrades-in-arms.

If you do, then I'll congratulate you. Because you are about to join a highly decorated unit, the 284th Guards Infantry Division, which was personally awarded by the leader Stalin for the surrender of the Guards. This was due to the fact that our troops annihilated the German 7th Panzer Division, defeated the German 20th Motorized Rifle Division, and routed the 1st SS Reich Division. Now we are in this swamp, and we have almost lost the combat ability of the German division, and we have burned the Chenoby. This is this unit, the Guards 284 Infantry Division! Our army is the elite of forest operations, and our army has the best snipers in the entire front army.

It is a great honour for you to join such a force.

Comrades, you surrendered to the Germans, but if you join us in the war against Germany, you are guilty of meritorious service, and if you die in battle, you are heroes! Your family will receive a bereavement pension. Think about your own conscience, think about your family, and think about your future.

But remember, join us, there will be no deserters, no more defectors, and everything will be ordered. You must prove your loyalty by your deeds, and now your 2,000 men will be organized into an infantry regiment, which will be stationed in this blacksmith village for the time being.

Based on the status quo, your former officers and commissars must have ordered the surrender, and they have already paid the price of death.

So I will send new commissars and officers to guide you, and you will have a new look. ”

Yelentina has said everything that should be said, and her remarks are completely reassuring! These soldiers, of course, all volunteered, and they had no choice.

But Yang Mingzhi and Yelenkina are still a little worried about them, many of these people have only recently enlisted in the army. Before that, they were ordinary people, and many of them were simply farmers. At this time, the two had to admit that these people with very average training were sent to the front line as soldiers. Their sense of battle and their technical and tactical level are very poor, and it is very normal for them to surrender.

There is still a long way to go in training them into high-quality light infantry suitable for forest operations.

Yerentina announced their disbandment, and they were led back to their respective camps by their respective temporary acting officers.

Of course, they will not be idle, these people will be put into production immediately, and the most important thing is logging. The more than 2,000 strong laborers, before they are officially incorporated into the army, let them dedicate the value of their labor and continue to carry out infrastructure construction in the blacksmith village.
