Chapter 871: The Past of the Sunset Shore

Star fruit was not an emotional person, but when she heard Salinchkin's words, she was suddenly excited, her eyes widened, and her lips trembled a little and said: "That medal should be the Order of Venus, and I can also become a Hero of the Soviet Union?!" ”

"Isn't that possible?" Savinch was happy: "You have already received two medals, don't you want to get more." As a soldier, www.biquge.info medal means his honor, and this medal is not just a beautiful piece of metal inlaid with gold and silver! This is a symbol of honor and status for soldiers, and it can determine your treatment after the war.

That's why I asked you to think about staying in the USSR after the war. Because the USSR will not forget your dedication! You will not only get honors, but also status and big bonuses.

However, once you leave the Soviet Union, you will no longer enjoy these benefits. ”

Carambola was silent, she bowed her head and didn't answer anything.

Yang Mingzhi knew that he was also saying this to himself, so he quickly changed the topic with a smile: "Let's talk about my wife's battle statistics!" 89 effective records of killing enemies, maybe the next time the airdrop is made, the medal will be thrown down, and there will be a new beautiful embellishment on her chest! ”

Salinchkin was no longer entangled in this, waved his hand and said: "The naturalization ceremony is over, and there is nothing to do with Berekova in the future." Let's go to the investiture ceremony right away! ”

At the naturalization ceremony, Yang Mingzhi pretended to be serious, and this award ceremony, he was really serious and completely meticulous!

He instructed his wife: "There is nothing to do with you anymore, now leave quickly and go to your sister Natasha." Tell her the good news! ”

Without her husband talking, the star fruit itself is like getting out quickly. Anyway, this is the office area of the municipal party committee after all, and it is always unnatural to stay here, and besides, the battle statistics are very concerned about myself and Natasha. Although the battle record has been cut a lot, the sisters are already one of the best in the entire Soviet Union!

Star fruit, the only "idle man", quickly ran away, and Salinchkin also began the final work.

The table on which the naturalization papers had been signed was emptied, replaced by two small wooden boxes, by which Salinchkin stood, holding a stamped document in his left hand and his lieutenant standing beside him, clutching a bunch of keys.

"Comrade Berekov, Comrade Yevlov, please come to me and stand upright!"

This is the most solemn moment that a soldier can face, and what came to that box was, as expected, a new epaulettes!

Yang Mingzhi raised his head and stood tall and had high morale, he stood straight, his neck was raised high, and he seemed to be loose when he didn't move.

At this moment, he and Yevlov were like this, their mouths were tight, but their bodies couldn't help but tremble. Both of them are holding back the excitement in their hearts!

Salinch glanced at the two of them, and finally grasped the document with both hands and read it out......

Yang Mingzhi listened attentively, this is the same authorization document signed by Stalin.

This morning, he and his old buddy were promoted to the chief and deputy commanders of the newly formed 63rd Group Army, and he did not mention anything about the documents for the promotion of military ranks.

According to the general practice, there is often cumbersome content at the beginning of the document, and there are indeed a lot of red tape narrative sentences in this document, but Yang Mingzhi really listened carefully, because this content surprised him!

For no other reason, the 63rd Army, to be exact, the 63rd Infantry Army, this is a force that has been completely annihilated! Even the number was revoked for a while!

Yang Mingzhi knew that he shouldn't interrupt Salinchkin's words, but he still said: "Comrade! Could this be the origin of our new name? I thought this number 63 was brand new! ”

"That's right! You can see you're shocked! Salinchkin raised his head and saw two strong men in front of him, both with bulging eyes. Yes, empathy, you have to have the same expression. He continued: "In the Battle of Minsk, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and taken prisoner, and only the 6th Mechanized Army managed to break through from the swamps. Therefore, the 63rd Army failed to break through and was completely annihilated, all the senior officers were killed, and those soldiers! ”

"What happened to the soldiers?" Yang Mingzhi asked anxiously.

Salinchkin's head turned wildly, and he said in a family tone: "Those soldiers, perhaps a considerable part of them have been captured by ammunition and food, and have been imprisoned in enemy concentration camps, perhaps, all around us. ”

"Then we should go and save them!" Yang Mingzhi's face was anxious, and he wanted to continue talking, but was stopped by Salinchkin.

"If you have any questions, I'll wait until I'm done! We can discuss military matters at tomorrow's meeting! ”

Salinchkin continued to read the appointment document drawn up by the National Defense Committee.

The content of this so-called red tape is simply the tragic battle history of the original 63rd Army, the whole army was annihilated, the officers were martyred, and the troops composed of four divisions were completely annihilated in the south of Minsk!

Yang Mingzhi has forgotten a lot about what happened a year ago, and the 11th Group Army where he belonged was obviously fighting side by side with the original 63rd Group Army. Both armies were tasked with defending Minsk, but the defensive positions were different.

The 284th Division of the 11th Army was equipped with a large number of new anti-tank weapons, which led to a qualitative change in quantity and changed the situation west of Minsk for a time, but it could not escape defeat after all.

The 11th Army was still able to carry out a local counterattack with the 6th Mechanized Army, and the 63rd Army had only a tragic blockade.

In the following content, there is also a slight description of the retreat route of the original 63rd Army, which is not many words but is intriguing. Because, having broken through south along the Dnieper, they had already entered the Gomel region, and a small city called Zhilobin became their burial place.

This group army was completely annihilated here, and the document was only briefly described, but Yang Mingzhi had already guessed the inside story.

He couldn't control his emotions, hugged his head, looked up to the sky with wide eyes and lamented: "I really never thought that we were not lucky at all!" ”

"What's going on? I'm surprised, too, but you're so emotional! Yevlov frowned and reprimanded.

"Can't you figure it out? How did we and the 6th Mechanized Army survive because of luck? ”

Yang Mingzhi's exaggerated emotional performance also aroused Salinkkin's strong interest. He put away the document for the time being, did not repeat any words of "reopening at tomorrow's meeting", and asked with great interest: "Comrade Berekov, this document is just a brief description, how much do you know?" Kuznetsov later took part in the defense of Moscow, do you mean that his breakthrough success was not luck? ”

"Of course! It's certainly not luck! Yang Mingzhi covered his face and bowed down, and was stupidly happy, this action was simply crazy.

He laughed for a while, stood up again, and said solemnly: "How can it be luck that we can stand here." The reason why we were able to break through and get out of the gaps in the German offensive was not because someone was helping us. So who's helping us? This is the 63rd Army! They have already entered Gomel, and they must have encountered Guderian's troops! They fought fiercely with the Germans, attracting a considerable number of German troops from the south who outflanked the whole of Belarus, so that we could get through almost the gaps in the deployment of the German troops.

In fact, even so, we were met with German resistance. But if you think about it carefully, our army retreated without troops except for an SS Panzer Division, a German logistics regiment, and a group of Romanian troops without combat effectiveness. Because our army was able to continue to move south, it officially entered the swamp. ”

This explanation was very novel, and Salinchkin hurriedly held up the document and carefully looked at the dates of the breakout of the 63rd Army on it. Surprisingly, if the dates of these statistics are correct, this Berekov explanation really makes sense.

"Could it be? Is it really the sacrifice of the original 63rd Army in exchange for the successful breakthrough of the 6th Mechanized Army? Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Salinchkin quickly snapped his fingers and beckoned to his deputy: "Hurry up!" Record this explanation of Comrade Belikov! ”
