There was also an accident at the investiture ceremony, and Salinchkin took a break. The Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info ceremony was suspended for a while, and everyone took a break.

yes, it's time to take a break!

Yang Mingzhi sat on the wooden bench on the side, what kind of military rank he will be awarded is still unknown, maybe a major general? However, the number of the 63rd Group Army was not a new number, but the number of the army that had been completely annihilated, which was also unexpected.

This Salinchin didn't say anything about it at the daytime meeting, and Yang Mingzhi immediately asked.

At this moment, Salinchin can be regarded as wiping the sweat off his forehead, and he is indescribably excited in his heart.

This Chinese finally became a naturalized Soviet, and he is really a military master! With a few words of chatting, he vividly expressed his "strategic view of the overall situation." The fact that this person was able to join the Soviet Union and become a general of the Soviet Army is really a blessing for the Soviet Union and a great blessing for Belarus!

He explained: "Now that you have seen it, several of us are very surprised, and if I had given the original explanation at the venue, the whole venue would have boiled again. How can such a meeting continue? In short, we have inherited the number of the 63rd Army. This annihilated army was resurrected in the area where she died. ”

Yang Mingzhi smiled knowingly, "In a sense, it is indeed a resurrection!" ”

"Like an immortal bird?" Yevlov quipped, "But I think it's too unlucky for us to use this kind of name of annihilating the army?" ”

Yang Mingzhidao did not think about this issue carefully. On a little reflection, it seems that the Germans prefer the number "6". Unfortunately, this number is not a lucky number. On that plane, since Paulus's Sixth Army was completely wiped out at Stalingrad, the newly formed "Sixth Army" was only beaten by the Soviet army.

But I'm not Paulus!

Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and looked disapproving: "Maybe it's unlucky for others, but with me, I won't let the resurrected 63rd Army fail!" ”

Anyone with a modicum of common sense understands that failure means death! So will the nascent 63rd Army die? Of course it's possible. If the enemy gathers a heavy group of troops and goes on a full-scale offensive at any cost, the fall of Novgomel is not impossible. The possibility exists, and everyone understands it, but no one is going to make any failed statements.

Yevlov was full of information about his old fellow, and he boasted: "Yes! With you Berekov here, I have nothing to fear, and the vast number of soldiers and civilians are also fearless. You now finally deserve to be the commander of the group army, and you have absolute military power! For you, you can finally let go of your hands and feet! ”

Yang Mingzhi's heart was warm, who was unhappy to be praised. He also understands that he is now in a high position and will be truly responsible for the 40,000 people of Novgomel, and the responsibility is not insignificant. But who else can do that today? Who else but himself?

He stood up and said: "The 63rd Army is buried in Zhirobin on the banks of the Dnieper, and our Novgomel is downstream of it, and our new 63rd Army will take revenge!" The most important thing in an army is the soul of the army, and we inherit not only this number, but also the soul of the army. We are the resurrected феникс (phoenix of the West), we breathe fire and burn the Germans to death! ”

"It's very apt to say that you are burned to death!" Yevlov felt deeply funny and hurriedly clapped his hands and said: "Your new weapon is more than 3,000 hot flames in terms of propaganda, and it makes people excited when they hear it!" ”

The two big men looked at each other and smiled.

Salinchkin coughed twice and exclaimed, "Okay! You're excited later, I've rested, and now we're done with the ceremony! ”

……

The ritual continued, and Salinchkin continued to recite the unfinished part.

After reading the red tape, I finally got to the most critical part.

Salinchkin paused for a moment, and then especially accentuated his tone: "From now on, the commander of the 63rd Army, Comrade Berekov, will be awarded the rank of Lieutenant General, and the deputy commander of the 63rd Army, Major General Yevlov." ”

With that said, the office was eerily quiet.

"What? Lieutenant General?! Yang Mingzhi was taken aback!

"That's right! It's the lieutenant general! Comrade Berekov, your new rank is Lieutenant General! "Because of the importance Salinchkin repeated three times in a row.

Seeing that he was still surprised, Salinchkin directly handed over the documents, and the deputy also carried an oil lamp to strengthen the lighting. Yang Mingzhi stretched out his head, and he finally saw the spelled words clearly, as the commissioner said, he was indeed a lieutenant general.

"It's incredible, I'm actually a lieutenant general? There are already so many exciting things today, but this one is the one that excites me the most! Yang Mingzhi covered his head with both hands, his posture was out of shape again, and his posture almost roared, but fortunately, he was pressed down by reason.

Salinch gave him a blank look: "Otherwise, what do you think?" Is it a major general? That's impossible. The commanders of the group armies are all lieutenant generals, and the deputy commanders are major generals, and there are regulations in the army in this regard. ”

Compared with Yang Mingzhi, Yevlov's mood is much more stable. He knows in his heart that after nearly 20 years of hard work from a private, he has actually achieved the high position of a major general. Can you say that you have any real talent and learning, and you have repeatedly made meritorious achievements on the battlefield?

Thinking of this, he is much more humble.

Today can be described as a blessing for Yevlov, and he was very happy when he was promoted to deputy commander of the group army. Because he was well versed in the rules of the Red Army, he knew from the moment he was promoted to deputy commander that he would be awarded the rank of major general.

The excitement has now subsided a lot, and with it comes the huge responsibility in front of me -- do you really have the ability to do a good job as this deputy commander?

Salinchikin explained a little, and Yang Mingzhi was also relieved. Lieutenant generals are followed by generals, and generals are followed by marshals.

Become a Marshal of the Soviet Union? It's unlikely! Although his ambition is great, he still doesn't think much about the rank of marshal.

After the document was read out completely, Salinchkin finally ordered his deputy to open the wooden box and take out the "patterned cloth" inside, which was the new epaulette and armband.

"All of them! Attention! Salinchkin roared: "Now, it's up to me to put on new epaulettes and armbands for the two of you!" ”

These are from the 1940 model, with a limp on the lieutenant general's epaulettes and a three-star armband. The style of the major general's epaulettes is the same as that of the lieutenant general, except that the armbands are marked with two stars.

Salinch took off the epaulettes and collar badges of the two, quickly replaced them with new ones, and saluted upright: "Congratulations, Comrade Lieutenant General and Comrade Major General." ”

Yang Mingzhi quickly returned the salute, he stood straight, put on a brand new epaulettes, and the whole person became different.

To become a lieutenant general, especially this epaulettes, he has seen. At the time of the retreat, he was quite in the limelight, because the remnants of the 284th Division also had the largest number of troops in their own special anti-tank battalion. The reason for these deeds made it possible for him to talk and laugh with Kuznetsov. That person is a lieutenant general, and he wears epaulettes of this style!

Kuznetsov is still leading an army group, perhaps he is currently in a tug-of-war with the Germans in Vyazma. If that person knew, the legendary battalion commander who used to be has now also become a lieutenant general. What would his expression be?
