As Balzen assured, the 284th Division did have radiomen at all times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Misha, a veteran radio stationer, stayed at his post, and he and his colleagues took turns on duty, listening to some translatable code. Among them, because the code sent by the Gomel City Party Committee must be added to the special symbol, so when Lyudbalev's people sent a signal here, Misha simply ordered someone to call the division commander.

Yevlov ran away in a hurry, only to see his radioman holding a headset in one hand and a pen in the other to record numbers. He didn't interrupt hastily because he was still answering the critical period. It wasn't until Misha stopped his pen that Yevlov finally asked: "I heard that it was Balzen who sent a message, is this true?" ”

"It's true, they've arrived on the banks of the Dnieper!"

This is really great good news, Yevlov gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, and said excitedly: "The route of the march of Berekov's troops is completely correct, and they will definitely meet soon." Did Balzen report his exact location? ”

"This is a debriefing. But I need a little time to decipher! Misha explained.

In fact, the so-called decipherment is very simple, because the radioman Misha has long been an old fritter. The codebook used at this stage, in which he has memorized all kinds of alphabet codes, is well acquainted, and he will translate it immediately.

Yevlov watched the whole thing, and he quickly understood the whole situation of Balzen.

"I didn't expect them to encounter the enemy's resistance, and it was a bloody battle to cross the road. They must be very tired, and it seems that if they endure it a little longer, they will be able to make peace with Berekov the day after tomorrow! Yevlov said to himself, he had already begun to think of countermeasures.

Seeing this, Misha asked, "Division commander, they are asking us where our aid is and how to arrange the follow-up." ”

"You just call them back. Ordered them to continue walking south, not to keep up too fast to save their energy. As soon as they will meet the day after tomorrow, and the rest will depend on the arrangement of the deputy division commander. ”

Misha reported truthfully, and only twenty minutes after the message was transmitted, the exact order came.

After receiving the order of the commander of the 284th Division, the entire team had the backbone. Lyudbalev simply felt that the morale of himself and his colleagues had completely passed. "Well, tomorrow we will move on, just follow the river and find them!"

A string of bonfires were lit on the riverside, but the Germans did not notice this anomaly, for no other reason, this area is basically no man's land! This is also the reason why Balzen so blatantly allowed the ignition.

Some soldiers feared that the bright light of the flames would attract the attention of enemy scouts and attract the siege of German pursuers.

In fact, this was unfounded, the Germans did send troops south, and a unit of the infantry regiment of the 722nd Division was even asked to advance in the direction of the Dnieper. But they weren't moving that fast, at least most of the troops, and the march still seemed slow.

On the other hand, Yang Mingzhi turned off the radio station at night, and the battery was wrapped in a cashmere sleeve to protect the little power in the battery.

At daylight the next day, he received news from the division headquarters, and the whole army learned the heavy good news. The soldiers knew that the troops would be able to join forces with friendly forces in the next day at the earliest.

So, that afternoon, Yang Mingzhi began to send tentative signals in the direction of the upper reaches of the river, and the results were encouraging, because Lyudbalev did not hesitate to reply to the signals that only the Soviets could grasp.

Although the conversation between the two groups was still based on Morse code, the fighters on both sides jumped together with joy.

In order to meet the teacher earlier, Yang Mingzhi also waved his hand: "Everyone speed up, we have to find them earlier." The comrades-in-arms are very weak, prepare bread and salt, welcome back the reconnaissance company, welcome back the Tchaikov partisans, welcome back the comrades of the Gomel city committee! ”

The warriors shouted Ulla, and everyone was in high spirits, all the more because this unit had better physical strength and was very fast.

Theoretically, if the whole army was ordered to run wild, perhaps it would be possible to meet Balzen at night. To be on the safe side, it's better to go slower, and forty kilometers a day is enough.

Yang Mingzhi ordered Ravlianji to send a company as scouts, and they advanced on the riverbank with red flags. The purpose of this red flag was to reveal his identity, and on the morning of the new day, the man who had met with Balzen without incident.

More than 3,000 people lined up in a neat line, carrying light and heavy weapons, and most of their military uniforms were still uniform, and at first glance the military appearance was very good.

Yang Mingzhi, who was the leader, took off his coat for respect, revealing a neat military uniform.

His oriental face was so unique that it was an official meeting with Lyudbalev, which made him instantly recognizable.

Lyudbalev was not familiar with himself, but when he saw the friendly army, and saw this majestic Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which must be full of combat effectiveness, he immediately grabbed Yang Mingzhi's hand with tears in his eyes: "You must be Comrade Berekov!" It's not easy! We have finally met with you after a lot of hardships. ”

The deeper the feelings, the more ruthless the handshake becomes. Yang Mingzhi could feel his deep friendship, and then look at these guerrilla fighters, as well as his brothers in the reconnaissance company. The situation was really bad for everyone, most of the military uniforms were torn, and they all had haggard words written on their faces, even if they were laughing.

Yang Mingzhi also saw Natasha and Balzen who had not been seen for a long time, these two people did not seem to be injured, but the battle cloak on their bodies had long been tattered.

However, if you look closely, the situation of these two is a little different. It turns out that they actually have more medals on their chests!

"What's going on?! When were my warriors awarded? Yang Mingzhi hurriedly asked Lyudbalev.

This one was even more agitated, he tried to calm his heart, and said: "Comrade Berekov, you are a Hero of the Soviet Union!" This is the honor that your superiors have given you since you annihilated the German 7th Panzer Division! If you don't mind......"

"Of course I don't mind!" Yang Mingzhi was greatly surprised, he was actually going to be awarded today!

The troops have met, the soldiers who have survived many battles and escaped from the dead, civilians, they will meet with the 284th Division, which means safety. First of all, everyone must have a good meal, before Yang Mingzhi was awarded, he had already ordered his subordinates to take out food and reward his comrades-in-arms.

Star fruit also went to Natasha first, and the two sisters really hugged each other with joy, and they couldn't be separated for a long time when they reunited.

Until Yang Mingzhi came to find the two in person, took the hands of the two girls, and said as he walked: "You hurry up and follow me, especially you, Xiao Tao, you also have to be honored like your sister!" ”

In fact, just seeing Natasha with the extra medal on her chest, star fruit's first reaction was envy, and then blessing. Unexpectedly, when the two hugged each other, Natasha said excitedly: "You also have a medal!" We have a chance to get the Order of the Gold Star. ”

The so-called Order of the Golden Star can be earned only for becoming a Hero of the Soviet Union. That thing is too far away, but her husband has already obtained that title, and she never expected him to be honored here?!

The ceremony was very short, but there were quite a few people who were going to be awarded, in addition to Yang Mingzhi and Natasha, Lavrenty, Yevgeny, and Doronin, who had become the commander of the artillery battalion, and even the commander of the female battalion, Joshua. The battalion commanders of these units had participated in a series of fierce battles, and since the swamp was under the jurisdiction of the city of Gomel, Lyudbalyov, as a member of the city committee, had the right to award medals to some of the heroes of the battle, according to local conditions.

For example, the Order of the Red Banner, which he carried the most. The above commanders will be able to get it, and he explained: "Many people in the 284th Guards Division are heroes, their exploits are recorded, and when we return to the troop station, a larger scale of medal distribution will take place."
