At a time when human resources are scarce, the use and mass production of new weapons is the key to changing the disadvantages in war. Yang Mingzhi, www.biquge.info the author of the "Fun" Pavilion, is certainly the most important staff officer, and it is completely unrealistic to interrupt his weapons research program at present.

Just as the production of new bullets and new weapons of mass destruction began, Yevlov and Yerentina were not idle.

As a division commander, Yevlov had to write down detailed records of the recently concluded campaigns, not only as a study, but also as a report to his superiors. He had not yet received information about air assistance from the command of the Front, but several telegrams of commendation came.

These verbal praises were better than nothing, and Yevlov had the spirit to continue to devote himself to writing.

In the plan, there was originally a commendation meeting after the battle, and the production movement began non-stop, but this matter was delayed. At the end of the battle, the enemy suffered great losses, and the Soviet army did not lose more personnel, but the consumption of materials was unprecedented. Yelenkina, who was supposed to preside over the commendation meeting, devoted all her mind to production and construction.

After completing their daily training, the soldiers began to reclaim the land and start planting, and after two months of waiting, new potatoes were produced. Ordinary villagers were engaged in various kinds of production under the arrangement of the city party committee such as Lyudbalev.

Under the wartime regime, the entire Novgomel labor force was mobilized. A total of 30,000 people are put into labor, a number that gradually increases as new refugees enter the swamp every day.

In order to prevent spies from infiltrating the refugee ranks, the screening work has increased dramatically, forcing Yerentina to work more and more.

Up and down, up to division commanders, down to ordinary officers and political commissars, no one is idle. It's like the arrival of spring, and the earth sprouts. Novgomel is bursting with great vitality, and the strength of the Soviet armed forces here is rising rapidly.

Such a good omen must not be disrupted by war, and the soldiers are put into production, and once the threat of war comes, it will take some time for the general mobilization again.

As a precaution, Yevlov nevertheless ordered a person not to rest.

This man was Balzen.

The "Balzen death squad" made a great contribution to the battle, and the surviving soldiers were awarded the Order of the Red Banner for the bombing of the airport alone.

Many people were killed, and new fighters were drawn from the various units to join this powerful force, and the strength was expanded to four platoons, plus various personnel, and the strength reached one hundred and forty men.

These fighters are proficient in the operation of rifles, machine guns and submachine guns, as well as combat skills, basic engineering skills, and extremely strong ability to survive in the wild. Their strength has not yet reached the level of the special forces of later generations, and their current combat effectiveness is already the highest in the whole army.

Under absolute firepower, such as carpet bombardment by artillery fire, no matter how strong the infantry training is, it cannot resist the "steel rain" and shock waves. Balzen's area of expertise was to operate independently in the forest, and the reconnaissance company was given new orders to go to the road.

They only had a short rest and ran back to the original battlefield.

Before leaving, Balzen spoke to the soldiers: "Comrades, the division commander ordered us to go north, monitor the former battlefield, infiltrate both sides of the road, and probe the enemy's movements. We are the sentinels on the front line, not on special sabotage missions. The division headquarters even ordered us not to take the initiative to attack and avoid turning the conflict into a large-scale war. ”

Ordinary soldiers don't quite understand what this means, since it is a military operation to the north, of course they will open fire when they encounter the enemy, which is almost the instinct of the soldiers. However, Balzen repeatedly stressed that it was not allowed to take the initiative to provoke and detonate a new war.

Everyone could not look at the problem from a global perspective, and it was difficult for the small soldiers to understand the concerns of the division headquarters, because the German army on the front line of the highway had already laid out four divisions!

This is intelligence from the command of the Front, the spies learned about the movement of German troops, they are clearly putting pressure on the swamps in the south of White Russia, is it defensive, or is it to gather troops to prepare for the offensive?

The headquarters of the 284th Division believed that the enemy was on the defensive, after all, it would be too unwise to attack when the swamp returned to erosion.

One of the tasks of the reconnaissance company was to find out the enemy's intentions, and the 140 men rushed to the north in a low-key manner after obtaining excellent supplies.

Yang Mingzhi also knew about this and agreed to this decision. In order to avoid losses in the encounter, Balzen's men did not carry mortars and shells, instead of RPGs, with more warheads. Due to the peculiarity of forest operations behind enemy lines, the troops were equipped with more German-made submachine guns, as well as four modified MG34s.

"Four grenades per person, two base ammunition, one RPG per squad, six ammunition." Yang Mingzhi only proposed such a firepower configuration plan, so that the reconnaissance company, which has always been small, is equipped with as many as 80 RPG warheads.

This is what the arsenal can fully carry! When the production movement expands rapidly, the production capacity increases exponentially.

Yang Mingzhi's will was simple, the ordinary soldiers of the Soviet army could be equipped with only one Mosin Nagant, and the men of Balzen must be well-equipped. In terms of firepower, some of the performance of the reconnaissance company has almost reached the level of the modern Chinese army in that plane, and the most notable feature is the large number of RPGs equipped with it!

The great increase in firepower made Balzen a little puzzling. "If you're just scouting the enemy's movements, it's never best to be light, so why bring heavy firepower? Could it be that an encounter will happen. ”

He did not hesitate to ask these questions, and led his troops to the stars.

Leaving the blacksmith village, there was no good road surface, and everyone stepped on the soft ground. Some mud ponds are bubbling, the grey water is turning green, the surrounding birch is sprouting, and the Korean pines are protruding with new foliage.

In times of peace, this is a good time for spring to bloom. In the midst of war, the beauty of spring was unappreciated, and the scout company, a group of men of great strength and strength, with all kinds of equipment, arrived at the ruins of Homnich at great speed.

They rested for the night in the forest on the edge of the ruins, and made contact with the sentinels who stayed there.

"The enemy didn't send anyone here, perhaps because they were afraid of being ambushed by us." The sentinels reported all the information about safety, there was silence near Homnitsch, and the German scouts did not go south.

Is this information credible? Balzen noticed that there were still wine bottles in the shack where the sentry lived, and couldn't help but guess: "If such a person is drunk and does not notice the actions of the enemy, am I not in danger now?" ”

Look at the weapons on your body, and then look at the long RPG warheads that the fighters carry. What the chief is most worried about is an encounter, and it's better not to happen, and if it does, then beat it up!

That night, Balzen still ordered the soldiers to be vigilant, and the bullet pressed into the chamber of the gun while he slept. By the next day, the whole army continued to march north, getting closer and closer to the battlefield where it had fought two weeks earlier, and the soldiers instinctively raised their vigilance, which did not need Balzen nonsense.

It was here that they met the Germans cleaning up the battlefield.

This was the battlefield where Wolf was annihilated, with tents set up by the Germans and a few trucks wriggling around. The number of German corpses was huge, but there were not many corpse collectors, and the faint smell of corpses permeated a large area, and German soldiers and military doctors in white coats were busy transporting gray-black corpses onto trucks.

The reconnaissance company and the Soviet sentries here were connected and decided to keep a close watch here for a while.
