Yerenkina expected to take the blacksmith village with her for many days, and she brought a lot of soft with her on this trip. www.biquge.info She is a high-ranking member of the army, and her natural residence is also a private room, and her residence is next to Yang Mingzhi, and they are neighbors.

When it was time to eat, the group went straight to the cafeteria.

Kawski had made some preparations in advance to make the lunch quite hearty.

After a tiring journey, closing a bowl of hot mutton and vegetable soup is really a treat. Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for our political commissar coming, my wife and I would have to continue to nibble on bread and eat boiled potatoes in the past few days." Even as a commander, you can't eat too well every day, or the soldiers will have opinions. ”

Everyone laughed at this statement.

Yerentina glanced at him and said, "As an officer of the army, he is far higher than ordinary soldiers in terms of food rations. If they have an opinion, they will keep it, and it is no problem if they want to eat well. As long as you have military merits, you can be promoted. ”

"I see." Yang Mingzhi's appetite is not here, and exquisite food is better than making noodles by himself. "Anyway, as long as there is enough flour, I can make many types of noodles, and you, just eat a few kinds of my craft."

She almost forgot that this Yang Mingzhi in front of her had the ability to turn decay into magic. The ordinary potatoes that the soldiers ate could change patterns in his hands, not to mention the flour.

Yeretina sat up straight: "Berekov, this is why you deserve everyone's love. You don't have the kind of rudeness and arrogance that many officers show, and you even deliberately want to be on par with ordinary soldiers, as if you are everyone's friend. That's not bad. ”

In this way, Yang Mingzhi was praised by this woman, and then he was afraid that this guy was going to leak his fox tail - she wanted to eat the special Xiaozao.

Without saying much about the joke, Yerenkina suddenly asked a very sharp question.

"Comrades, there are more than 2,000 new arrivals, and at the same time, refugees are entering us almost every day. The population of this swamp has exceeded 20,000 in the area under our control, and the problem of food will be a big problem. Food for the army, it should be fine, right? ”

"Absolutely no problem!" Kavitzki said, "I know the core meaning of Comrade Commissar if you don't say it. Don't worry, military rations are completely guaranteed. ”

The implication of this is that there is some problem with the food of the common people? Yang Mingzhi was shocked!

The population exceeded 20,000, and there were more people and more mouths! I didn't think too much about it before, and I thought that I could start potato planting as soon as spring came, but there were too many people, and there was really no problem?!

Yang Mingzhi looked at Kavitzky vigilantly: "Is there really no problem with the grain?!" ”

"No problem! The military rations are guaranteed, and as for the civilians, I have to admit that it will be a little difficult for them. ”

Kavitsky didn't mean that there would be a famine or anything, there were a lot of potatoes in the granary, and there were still some potatoes in the field that had not had time to be harvested. These old potato varieties have been cultivated for hundreds of years and are hardy. Quite a few tubers have not yet frozen to death, and the weather warms up and they continue to develop.

Yang Mingzhi received a guarantee of absolute safety. "We have too many mouths at the moment, so we have to reduce the flour ration for ordinary people," Kavitzky said. For a period of time, ordinary citizens could only eat potatoes until we finished the first round of harvest in the spring. ”

Yes, potatoes were almost the only food for the vast number of soldiers and civilians in the Soviet Union in World War II, and they were also the "heroes" of their victory.

"Alright! I think it's worth deliberating. Now I have to say a few words, there are a few people here who are members of the village committee of the blacksmith village. Don't just look at how many mouths we have, but also think that each mouth has two hands at the same time. ”

These words were said by a great man, and Yang Mingzhi repeated the meaning very concisely.

Even in the cold season, production can continue, Kavitzki suddenly realized. "I understand what the deputy division commander meant, in fact, we can still carry out fishing work. During this period of time, the Dnieper River, which was originally frozen by the cold current, was unsealed in a large area, and fishing can be carried out again. In addition, in the southern part of our swamp, where there are more wetlands, there should be a large number of migratory birds, which may be suitable for hunting and collecting some eggs. ”

"Very well, since you have it in mind, let's do it." Yang Mingzhi affirmed. "You are the head of the entire blacksmith village, you are in charge of everything here, and most of our granaries are here. Your accusations are very crucial. ”

In this way, this person should be more serious, of course, Yang Mingzhi has always been very reassuring of him.

By the end of lunch, the militia had already set up Yerentina's room, and her personal belongings were naturally her own.

Yang Mingzhi and her still had very important things to discuss, and the two simply put the secret conversation place in this residence.

Although it was a secret talk, star fruit had to be avoided.

"Little Peach, if you're a little tired, go back to your room and take a nap. Your sister and I have important things to do. Yang Mingzhi took him away, and then entered the room with Yelenkina, and ordered two guards to stand guard at the door.

"Hey, hey! You call me Besica's sister. Yerenkina teased, and then sat down on the bed.

A man and a woman are in a "secret room", how can they be a bit of a zombie! Yang Mingzhi shook his head and abandoned these distracting thoughts.

He also sat on the other bed and said straight to the point: "Now let's continue to discuss the arrangement of those people, I already have some ideas." ”

"Okay, just talk about it."

Yang Mingzhi paused, since this woman listened attentively, then she began to talk endlessly.

"I think there are two things we have to pay attention to!

The first point is that they have all been captured, and it is impossible for you and me or even Yevlov to fully trust their combat effectiveness and loyalty. For example, Roshakov and Kravsky, who were also deserters in some sense, fled from Ukraine to Belarus. At first, they joined our battle sequence, and they were also discriminated against by the veterans. Finally, now, after the Khomnich blockade, they have proven their absolute loyalty.

The second point is that if it weren't for our rescue, the prisoners of war we rescued would have been escorted to a larger concentration camp, where no one would have survived. Compared with Roshakov and others, they really surrendered, if they were to be divided into various companies to replenish their forces. Infighting can happen without thinking about it, and it will directly reduce combat effectiveness and morale. ”

"That's right! It's very dangerous! As soon as the morale collapses, our future military operations will be greatly reduced. I totally understand what you mean. At this point, Yerentina was very clear about the dynamics of the fighters' minds. They are people who die for life, they worship heroes and despise cowards and traitors.

The current Red Army soldiers, most of whom are Belarusians and Ukrainians, are under the iron heel of the Nazis, and their families are uncertain. Having seen the atrocities of the German massacre, the soldiers were almost certain that their loved ones would also be killed by the enemy. When there is nowhere to vent anger and violence, either the German prisoners of war or the rescued guys will be killed.

"Now our 1st and 2nd regiments, they have proved their infinite loyalty to the Soviets with their blood, and they would rather die all than surrender."

"So, neither you nor I have any illusions that the soldiers of our two regiments will be able to accept these people." Yang Mingzhi added, "There seems to be only one solution left. ”

"Yes!" Yerentina stood up directly, "We have no choice, let's just let them form an infantry regiment directly." (To be continued.) )
