A sloppy guy was rescued from a tree, and he even had some scars on his face and some tattered uniforms.

Based on this person's epaulettes and his special uniform, Yang Mingzhi can be sure that this person is an officer, or a high-ranking political commissar, at least similar to the division political commissar Ba Djin, who died in his country.

He shook off the dust from his body and looked at the men who had saved him.

"Who are you? Are you a member of the 284th Guards Division? ”

"Exactly." Yang Mingzhi said calmly.

"Good! I heard that your division commander is still alive and that the division headquarters still exists. I will see your superiors at once. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded, "If it's a superior, you can pass on any orders to me." ”

"You?" The man looked up and down at this guy with a Tatar face, who was not dressed like an officer at all, and even as a soldier was very sloppy. "You still forget it, I want to see your division commander!"

Yang Mingzhi scratched his head, this is a friend from Kiev, he must be from the Southwest Front. There should be etiquette for a soldier, and there will be no boasting here. "Okay, comrade, I'll take you to the division headquarters." Yang Mingzhi explained to the rest of the people, and all the medicines on hand were sent to the hospital, and star fruit led the way.

On the way to the division headquarters, Yang Mingzhi noticed that the person was still carrying a briefcase.

"I can't believe that you will also give gifts to friendly troops, obviously the battle is very fierce now." Yang Mingzhi asked.

"I don't know about this question, my superior, Admiral Kirponos, ordered that you are a force that has escaped from the forest with difficulty, and since you are willing to stay in the swamp to continue the war, as the nearest friendly army, you must send you supplies."

Yang Mingzhi smiled bitterly, the Northwest Front was almost wiped out, most of the guilty officers should have been shot, and that Pavlov committed suicide to solve the matter.

Walking out of the woods, many fighters have already assembled at the airfield carrying large and small supplies. The construction of the airport came to an end for the time being, and I saw a woman acting as a statistician, and that guy was none other than Yerenkina. Yang Mingzhi introduced without hesitation: "Friend, look at that person, she is the political commissar of our division and a member of the NKVD. ”

As soon as he said this, Fuming couldn't help but be a little jealous, the Cheka group has always been more wild. During the Great Purge, this group of people lived out as cool officials.

Falling to the ground, Fuming really saw these guys who had escaped from the forest. They were not so much the imposing Soviet Red Army as a group of partisan militias. After all, many people's clothes were torn, and in order to be at least tidy, many soldiers changed into various costumes.

Yang Mingzhi asked him not to look too much, since he was going to the division headquarters, he should go quickly.

It was a larger house, and there was a plaque next to the door, which indicated the "collective farm office". The army entered the village, and it was taken over by the military.

Yevlov was waiting for this person in the office, only to see that Yang Mingzhi led this guy to arrive so quickly.

"Report to the division, I have found a very special friend!"

Yevlov raised his right hand in a matter-of-fact manner, and then his attitude immediately relaxed. "Berekov, you're welcome."

Fomin's stomach was full of words, and seeing the opportunity for Yevlov to relax, he immediately introduced himself.

"Hello comrade, I am Nikita Fomin, a political commissar of the division, a Jew, a communist, appointed by the commander-in-chief of the Southwestern Front, General Kirponos, as the liaison of the Soviet troops in the swamp area."

He made his attitude clear, and the purpose of this visit was very clear, which was to stay in the swamp and guide the remnants of the Soviet army here and the local militia to organize the battle.

Yevlov nodded and pulled Yang Mingzhi to introduce himself.

There is nothing wrong with Yevlov here, almost all the personnel of the division headquarters died in air raids, and the highest rank of the remaining division is as acting division commander, which is very normal. The problem lies with Yang Mingzhi, who, in addition to calling himself Pyotr Berekov, emphasized that he is Chinese.

"Chinese? Are you Chinese? I thought you were a Tatar! Fuming was very surprised, he suddenly remembered what the commander had said to him before leaving. It is said that there is a very important Chinese in your team, could that person be you?! ”

Yang Mingzhi replied affirmatively: "It is me, perhaps because I invented a secret weapon that surprised Comrade Kirponos very much?" ”

Fumin's expression was a little excited, all this is amazing, a Chinese appeared in Belarus, he is still a talent for making weapons! This person is not good-looking, and he must be very legendary if he can join the Soviet army.

Yang Mingzhi continued; "It's true that I'm Chinese, but now I've long since joined the Soviet army. You just said that you are a political commissar, which is good, we have the same beliefs, and it is precisely because of this that the Soviet army agreed to accept me. Because I was originally a soldier under the **** commander, within the scope of the Comintern, I was your Chinese comrade, and now you and I are both members of the Soviet Red Army. ”

In this way, it seems that there is no barrier between them, and finally Yang Mingzhi added: "There are many ethnic groups in our ranks, you are Jewish, I am Chinese." The fascists have a special hatred for us people, and we must unite to fight against them. ”

Fuming nodded, he really didn't realize that this Chinese guy was also an officer just now, and now he knew that this Guards 284th Division was not the same as the report. Their division headquarters collapsed for a time, and later it was also cobbled together. The regiment commander was the acting division commander, the battalion commander was the acting deputy division commander, and the Cheka girl, who supervised the militia to participate in the war, became the political commissar temporarily.

After the greetings, Fuming sent the commander's handwritten letter.

This was written on an improvised basis by Kirponos, who ordered the remnants of the Soviet troops in the swamp area, at the moment to act as scouts, to keep an eye on the movements of the German troops on the periphery of the swamp.

Therefore, at this moment, when the German army's encirclement of Ukraine by the Soviet army was underway, Kirponos had accurately judged the intentions of the German army. At this moment, the fighting in Ukraine on the right bank is the most critical, as long as the German army is routed here, their encirclement operation will be greatly hindered, and even may fail.

But the troops had to be careful of the outflanking of the Germans, especially in the direction of the Crimea, where the necessary access to the Caucasus, the Grozny and Baku oil fields, was a great temptation for the Germans and an oil extraction center that the Soviets absolutely could not lose.

As for the northern regions, it was not impossible for the Germans to fight their way through the swamps. There, despite the harsh terrain, Kuznetsov crossed the swamp with 30,000 men, which showed that the enemy was at least an infantry division, through which it was possible for them to make a direct attack on Kiev.

Thus, the presence of the Guards 284 Division became very delicate.

"This is an order from the South-Western Front, we are subordinate to the North-Western Front. Does accepting this order at this moment mean that we have changed the command of the Southwestern Front? Yevlov asked.

"Yes or no." Fuming's words were a bit ambiguous, after all, their numbers did exist, and the normal dispatch had to be done by the military committee. Therefore, he proposed that this was cooperation, "you are too far from Bryansk, the other units of the Southwestern Front retreated early, and they are still holding off the Germans on the Smolensk-Bryansk line at the moment. Unless you can contact them, but as far as I know, you must have worked hard to use the radio to contact us, and it is almost impossible to reach further afield. ”

Yang Mingzhi shrugged his shoulders and involuntarily patted Fuming's shoulder: "You're right, I temporarily built a manpower generator, so that I can barely keep the power of the radio station." That's why I want you to send a gasoline generator by a transport plane. ”

Fuming was stunned, this Chinese is still an inventor? This is such a magical character, and to stay here for this guy is really putting himself in danger. "Maybe you should leave with Kuznetsov, you are a very talented person, in the arsenal in the rear, I think you will shine."

Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "If I was willing to go, I would have followed a long time ago." My comrades-in-arms are here, and more than 10,000 of our lost comrades-in-arms are buried here, and I am not willing to bear to abandon them and leave. The secret weapon has been given to you, which will greatly improve the anti-tank capabilities of our army, and here is my greatest help to the Soviet army. ”

Fuming shrugged, people have their own pursuits, and he also voluntarily entered the swamp and stayed.

The commissars of the Soviet army always had to lead by example, and they were braver than ordinary soldiers. All the commissars were old Bolsheviks, ideologically conscious, fearless of death. Now Fuming had to face a new reality, the troops left behind in the swamp plus the militia, and the political commissar only had a few people, most of whom were still surviving at the company level.

The losses of the political, industrial and military personnel are unusually heavy, and this must be due to the fact that they always lead by example.

Soon, Fuming and Yerenkina met, and when it came to their positions, Fuming was naturally of a high rank. He was a newcomer, but according to the principles of the army, this Fuming should also act as a high-ranking officer. In this way, the political commissar of the division was soon assumed by Fuming, and the deputy political commissar was still Yelenkina.

Since it is in accordance with the policy of the army, the political commissar does not interfere in the command of the army, and they must put the militia and ordinary soldiers in order in their thinking.

The day-to-day movement of the army is still in charge of Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov. The military officer is in charge of the military, and the political commissar is in charge of life, and there is no contradiction between the two families.

Accompanied by everyone, Fuming visited everything in Catfish Village, including the barracks that were still being built, and even Yang Mingzhi's home.

I saw this Berekov, and there were tables and chairs outside his cabin, which were made by the soldiers themselves. Yang Mingzhi happily pointed to some tableware on the table: "This is made by my wife, it is the little girl who is a hygienist just now." ”

Speaking of this, Fuming remembered, it was very much like a child, but I didn't expect it to be Chinese. A lot of things here are very new, and the ability of the Soviet soldiers to build civil works can be seen.

Yevlov patted his chest and proudly explained to Fumin: "We were originally an infantry division from the Far East, stationed in the forest, because the soul of our troops still exists, and survival in the forest is a huge advantage of our division. ”

In the afternoon, the soldiers were kept in order by commissars and junior officers. Supplies that arrive are sent first to the weakest, such as militia and children. Military uniforms were plentiful, including the militia, and new clothes were put on. It's a pity that there are no small military uniforms here, so it is too big for female soldiers to wear them.

In the end, Yang Mingzhi was given two blankets, which can be used as bedding to make sleeping more comfortable. Carambola also got a military uniform, but in fact, her height has broken and tall. The pants are a little longer, and it will be okay to cut them off with a dagger.

After the emergency re-equipping of the troops, morale seems to have recovered somewhat. The original image of being sloppy and dressed in a variety of clothes no longer exists.

In this way, after Fuming's arrival, his most important task was to be in charge of the radio station's communications. He claimed that the two nearest divisions stationed at Cherobie had not yet fought the Germans, that they had plenty of supplies, and that they were already delivering supplies to the swamps.

This is much more efficient than the airdrop, Yang Mingzhi was very excited to hear it, and now, the Pripet Marsh will surely become a refuge for more remnants of the Soviet army and militia units, and even ordinary people in the future. With the restoration of the armed forces here, the troops can even take the initiative to attack.
