Early the next morning, in the small square of the collective farm of the blacksmith village, the villagers who were ready to join the militia gathered one after another.

Yang Mingzhi's identity became very special at this moment, as if he was the recipient of these people. At the same time, he must also be the commander of these people, so Yang Mingzhi did not stand behind the scenes.

He was dressed in a neat military uniform, with a belt firmly fastened and a pistol pinned to his waist. The whole image is a majestic Soviet officer, and an oriental face also shows that the whole person is not ordinary.

War mobilization or something, this village has been going on for a long time, and there are only so many people left who can participate in the battle.

Look at the men, the children, the women, and a bunch of old guys with beards, but the young men are nowhere to be seen. Yes, those men had been drafted as soldiers for a long time, and most of them had actually died in battle.

Yang Mingzhi did not talk about the painful topic, Gushkov in the village said it, and then it was his speech.

What to teach the recruits, Yang Mingzhi is a small leader in that plane, and this kind of thing is naturally handy.

At this moment, he was holding a rifle in his hand, and suddenly the bullet was loaded and fired into the air. Many people were shocked, especially women. Here are some young girls who have joined the army with a passion or a desire for revenge.

It's very difficult to train them to be good soldiers, and some of them are clearly frightened, for example, right now.

"Comrades militia? I'm Berekov, deputy commander of the 284th Guards Division, have you already decided to join our team? ”

Yang Mingzhi looked at them, most of them remained silent, only some old men bravely raised their right hands.

"It seems that you were scared of the gunshot. Young men and women, the war is none of your business. But the invaders have already taken the lives of your family, and their next step is to take ours indiscriminately. If you are afraid of gunfire, such a person is not suitable to be a warrior. Such a person asks you to leave. ”

At this time, a woman suddenly shouted, "Yes! Isn't war your man's business? Why do we have to go to war too! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the team. Yang Mingzhi frowned, he understood what he said, and the young woman was also a mobilizer.

The village chief immediately scolded, and the team quieted down.

"Who was the person who spoke just now?" Yang Mingzhi shouted loudly.

"It's me!" I saw a woman walk out of the group, unlike the other women, this person changed into a man's pants, specifically her husband's.

Under Yang Mingzhi's questioning, this woman introduced herself, Delia Kanashkineva. Her husband was drafted into the Soviet Army before the war began, and what is even more shocking is that her husband's unit is none other than the 284th Guards Division. Therefore, the woman's emotions were extremely excited, and she staggered to Yang Mingzhi and almost fell to her knees.

"Tell me! What the hell happened to my husband! Killed in battle, or captured! How many of you are there! He's not yet! ”

Yang Mingzhi didn't expect this at all, the woman's emotions were a little excited, and the accompanying warriors pulled her away.

"Delia, calm down. This is war, and we all have to endure all the tragedies. ”

The woman was crying and sad, and she handed a letter to Yang Mingzhi.

This was a mail sent by her husband after he joined the army, and he never received a message after the war. Judging by the letter, her husband was assigned to the 1st regiment, which turned out to be Yevlov's regiment. The regiment suffered heavy losses in the battle, and the entire regiment was almost completely annihilated, and finally retreated to the swamp with a total number of soldiers of the 1st regiment, which numbered only one company.

Kanashkin, this surname is relatively special, Belarusian men have surnames that end with "ski" more often, and if this Kanashkin is alive, there should be an image in the final census. Apparently, this Kanashkin has already died.

Yang Mingzhi looked at this tear-stained man with a sad face: "Delia, your husband is very brave. No one from our Guards 284 Division surrendered, everyone fought to the death. More than 10,000 people died in battle, and in the end only more than 1,000 broke through. Your husband has died heroically. ”

"Dead, really dead."

"It's not death, it's sacrifice! Your husband was a great Red Army soldier. So I'd love to see you retract what you just said. This is war, I think you should avenge your husband, it's too late to join the army. Now, our division commander has also died, and the regiment to which your husband belongs, the regiment commander Yevlov, has been promoted to division commander. ”

The woman fell silent, and more people followed.

Originally, the militia organized by the village chief was mostly compulsive, but in fact, the majority of villagers also knew that the invaders were indiscriminately killing ordinary residents, either fleeing or staying in the struggle. The vast majority of people did not flee, they must have to fight in their hearts, but fighting will also kill them, and many people still have a trace of hesitation.

Now, Delia Kanashkineva has retracted her "deserter rhetoric", wants revenge, and strongly asks to join her husband's company. Because of her relationship, most of them are free of distractions.

All the militia of one hundred and thirty-five people, with little luggage, marched towards the village of Catfish under the leadership of the village chief Rygushkov.

Yang Mingzhi took his wife's small hand and followed the army, what happened to Kanashkineva just now was really distressing.

"Husband, this is war. I'm so scared if ......"

"Well, you've said that a lot of times." Yang Mingzhi looked at his wife with a confident smile, as if to say that I am an immortal bird on the battlefield. The smile was reassuring, and star fruit smiled in response.

I don't know what the future holds, but war is ultimately the victory of good over evil.

Back to Catfish Village, the militia of Black Earth Village had already arrived first, and geographically Black Earth Village was closer to Catfish Village.

A total of one hundred and forty-three people were brought from the Black Earth Village, and like the Blacksmith Village, there were a variety of men, women, and children, and the common feature was that there were no young men. Their village chief, Volynsky, made the same remarks, and none of the young people in the village had returned to the army.

To enter Catfish Village is to go to your own territory, and the first thing is to settle the militia. As for how to settle the newcomers, Catfish Village has made some plans. For example, underage children, they are assigned to juvenile camps. The child soldiers had a unified barracks, which were actually the homes of peasant families who had fled the battlefield, which had been converted into barracks.

Others, young female militiamen, live in the homes of their compatriots who have suffered the same thing. As a result, many families whose husbands died in the war turned their homes into women's barracks. The elderly militia made the soldiers of the 284th Division temporarily squeeze in, and at the same time vacate the barracks, mobilize everyone to build new housing.

This type of distribution has led to some housing strain. Therefore, when the Black Earth Village arrived with new people, many soldiers were ordered to go into the woods to cut trees.

All sorts of people were simply settled, except for Kanashkinava, who was reluctant to accept the assignment. "I have to join my husband's company, or it won't be revenge!"

Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to lead her to Yevlov. Before that, he brought his wife home. "You call a few warriors, let's make some delicious food for lunch." Carambola understood, after all, her husband was Chinese, and he still liked to eat Chinese food, and then trotted away.

"It's good that kid still has a husband like you. You are all immortal. Kanashkinva looked at the little girl with a confused gaze and couldn't help muttering to herself.

"Perhaps, sometimes luck is more important than tactical skill on the battlefield." Yang Mingzhi turned around, and there was only this woman left beside him. "Come with me and take you to the teacher."

Lunch time has not yet begun, Yevlov is very busy, and he hopes that these new militiamen will start military training as soon as the afternoon. Seeing Yang Mingzhi returning, he was in a hurry to do a good job, and a new meeting began immediately.

Suddenly, Yevlov noticed that there was another woman beside Berekov, quite a beautiful woman to be honest. "Berekov, if you go to the blacksmith village, do you have to choose someone to be an adjutant immediately?"

Yang Mingzhi could hear that there were other thoughts mixed in his words, and he decisively pushed the woman to the forefront.

"Delia, this is your husband's boss."

As soon as the words fell, the woman immediately lost control of her emotions, as if this Yevlov was her relative.

In this way, Yevlov immediately understood the reason, which was very shocking. With the troops suffering huge losses and more than 10,000 people killed, what will happen to their families? The war has reached such an extent that most of the families will not even know how their loved ones died, and I am afraid that it will become an eternal mystery.

However, the original first regiment has been abolished, and the current composition of the regiment is really diverse. What's more, she is a woman, how can she be assigned to a troop full of old men.

So Yevlov commanded in the voice of the woman's husband: "Delia Kanashkineva, you will be assigned to the women's barracks, this is an order. The first regiment is all men, and it is not for you there. Guards, sent her to the women's barracks. ”

The woman was appointed, and she chose to obey the orders of the prefect. After the vignette, Yang Mingzhi officially joined the meeting.
