This night, the two people who rested the latest in the command were these two, Yang Mingzhi and Solkina.

Yang Mingzhi put away the pen at three o'clock in the morning, and after closing the notebook, he went directly to the small lounge with it. Two long wooden chairs are combined in one place, and two layers of blankets are laid out, which is considered a bed.

Yang Mingzhi lay down for a while, and there were already bursts of snoring.

Sorkina, on the other hand, carried out her creed, and even though she was very weak, she heard the wake-up call in the morning!

The morning trumpet sounded, and the soldiers' vacation came to an end. In a few moments, the silent blacksmith village was immersed in the roar of running soldiers and the shaking of thousands of pairs of leather shoes tapping the earth.

Yang Mingzhi was unmoved by all this, and Yevlov, who was routinely on duty, only pushed open the door a little and did nothing to see the old man's sleeping appearance.

From Solkina, who had been on duty all night, her eyelids trembling and her body was weak, he learned that Berekov was working late, and as for the reason, he was thinking about new weapons.

"Huh? How do you know he's working on weapons? Yevlov asked curiously.

"He's researching, painting something like an airplane! I instinctively thought it was a weapon! ”

This female soldier really stayed up all night, and as a telegraph operator, she should have this kind of spirit comparable to that of an owl.

Yevlov nodded: "Okay, you go to eat first, and then get a good night's sleep." ”

The female soldier immediately straightened her proud chest and saluted, her eyes resolute.

Yevlov also saluted, and glared at the girl in front of him, which made her laugh very much.

"Hurry up and eat!" After that, he slapped her ass again, which was regarded as beckoning her away.

Among the four girls, Yevlov liked this Solkina the most, firstly, she had the best temperament, and secondly, she really worked hard.

Yevlov is not very good at verbally expressing his approval, and it is better to be happy with women directly. For this likable female soldier, his range of movements is larger, and if he is seen by Yelentina, he will inevitably preach for a while.

However, this Solkina's cocked ass seems to be sorry for her if she doesn't slap her a few times. The female soldier was also very intellectual, and in Yevlov's opinion, she probably understood it as a spur.

There was a half-hour gap in the morning in the telegraph room, the meaning of which was to allow the telegraph to shut down. The two girls on duty were supposed to leave together, but only one of the convex and backward Sorkina ran away, and the rest?

Curious, Yevlov quietly went to the telegraph room, which was separated from the wall from the large office, and saw a girl gasping for breath with her face turned sideways, saliva running down her sleeve......

Later, Sophia, who did not hold on, was caught by the deputy commander of the group army, and punishments followed. Even if Yevlov had always been fond of the four female soldiers in the command, he would not tolerate dereliction of duty.

Sophia was sentenced to stay in confinement for the whole day until the morning horn sounded on May 7......

By the time Yang Mingzhi knew about these episodes, the sun was already high!

He stretched out of the lounge, and after a moment of guilt, he went straight to the large conference room to find a seat first.

……

The army resumed training, and the troops that had just marched long distances were not suitable for excessive physical training, so the training was mainly focused on target shooting and the stress response of the soldiers.

The reason for this is that it was the battalions participating in the battle that analyzed the gains and losses in the battle, especially the last armored vehicle "pig rush" of the German army, although the German army failed to break through tragically, it also caused 90% of the casualties of the entire operation to the Soviet army. It can be seen that the reaction of the troops in the event of a surprise attack is a matter of life.

At the forthcoming meeting, one of the important issues that needs to be discussed is the gains and losses of this operation. Yesterday was a gathering of the battalion commanders participating in the battle for discussion, and the official meeting was attended by the battalion commanders and regimental commanders of the whole army.

Yang Mingzhi estimated that there would be no large-scale discussion on the issue of gains and losses in battle, at most it would be memories.

The focus of the meeting was again on the announcement of the latest orders from the suppressed superiors and the collective talks, as well as on the future development of Novgomel and the partisan republic. How to speak at that time, Yang Mingzhi has a clear idea.

The meeting was not as grand as the last, and the chiefs of the collective farms received orders to arrive at the blacksmith village that morning, and not many people came.

Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov were the first to come to the conference room, and the third person to come was none other than Fuming, director of the political department of the group army. This man is not ordinary, he is indeed dressed in a formal military uniform, but his feet are covered with black mud boots.

Yang Mingzhi keenly noticed this and quipped: "It's been a few days!" Where did Comrade Fuming go to investigate? Did you step on that mud puddle? ”

Fu Ming lowered his head slightly and looked at it, and said proudly: "Yes!" Comrade Berekov, I did go to investigate! Now that you've both arrived, I'll tell you the good news in advance! Our potatoes are ready to be harvested! ”

If he doesn't say it, he will forget about this important thing! Yang Mingzhi patted his head fiercely: "Oops! I was thinking all day about fighting wars and making weapons, and I forgot that it was time to harvest the potatoes! ”

"We're all busy, it's just that we're busy from different angles." With that, Fuming jumped on the spot again, shaking the mud off his boots a little. He leaned over to Yang Mingzhi and sat down, and continued: "I heard that you work until three o'clock at night, and it seems that you are still researching what weapons?" ”

Yang Mingzhi was stunned, and suddenly asked with a sideways face: "Do you know this?" Who the hell leaked the news? ”

"Whoever it is! Please answer yes and no! ”

Yang Mingzhi sighed: "Alas, I originally wanted to say it at the meeting, since you are so insistent, I will talk about it first." I'm really thinking about a new weapon, a massive refinement of rocket artillery! At the moment, we are only at the sketch stage, and theoretically we can turn the drawings into reality in a short time. The purpose of my refinement was also simple, at least to give it a range that surpassed that of the German large-caliber howitzers. ”

The range of rocket artillery exceeds that of howitzers, and what kind of tactical advantage this means is self-evident.

After all, Fumin is a professional political worker, and his mentality is stable, but Yevlov's legs are trembling with excitement.

When the two continued to ask for some details, Yang Mingzhi was not generous, intending to keep this suspense in the meeting.

"You're always like that! It's good if you can build a rocket that can be ignited here and launched and hit Kyiv in one go! Yevlov gave Yang Mingzhi a blank look, which added meaning to his words.

"Theoretically possible, but unfortunately our industrial capacity is not up to it!" Yang Mingzhi glared at the old man with a beard with a smile: "As the proverb goes, if the stick is not strong enough, thicken the stick, and increase the diameter of the barrel if the cannonball hits not far." If we build a giant rocket launcher, we might be able to hit Berlin. ”

"Berlin! It's better to hit Hitler's ass and blow him up into smoke! ”

Yevlov laughed uncontrollably, provoking the joy of the people who came one after another.

"Who is it and why are you happy?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the gate.

Yang Mingzhi suppressed his smile, opened his eyes to Salinchkin, who was not good-looking in a military uniform, stepped on a steady step, lit up the top of his shining head, and walked in with a briefcase. Behind him were a group of attendees.

Yang Mingzhi looked at his watch, it was indeed almost two o'clock......
