The Pripyat marshland, a wetland at the confluence of the Pripet and Dnieper rivers, became a base for those who remained.

The German offensive was still devastating, they had already occupied most of Belarus, and were already fighting on the Smolensk front. In the next two months, the Germans will occupy Kyiv, and the battle in Ukraine will be a new round of defeat for the Soviet army, by which time the Pripyat region will already be surrounded by the enemy.

Kuznetsov was evacuated, and the village of Catfish now has an armed force of more than a thousand people. Everyone is willing to stay and fight guerrillas, and there are many villagers who just want to continue to live in this land and are unwilling to leave their homes.

The head of the village of Catfish, who had already handed over the command of his subordinates to Yevlov, who was also a high-ranking officer of the Soviet army.

It's just that he doesn't know very well that Yevlov is not a top student in a military school, and his ability to be a low-level officer is enough. Originally, making him the regiment commander was also the helpless act of the fallen Pugachev, but now he knows that he eats a few dry meals, and the real command of the future struggle will either rely on the Cheka girl Yelentina, or rely on the resourceful Chinese Berekov.

The war entered a short period of peace for this group, and Yang Mingzhi really wanted to rest for a while.

He planned to build a log cabin in the grove, which would later be his wife's residence. Many soldiers followed the example of their commanders, and Yang Mingzhi pointed out: "More than 1,000 of us must build our own houses, but we must not build them in the open field. As soon as we turned into large residential settlements, enemy bombers could easily attack us. ”

The soldiers still remember the time of the great retreat, and the people who hid in the forest escaped the air raid safely. On that occasion, the 284th Division suffered unusually heavy casualties.

As a do-it-yourself abundance of food and clothing, Yang Mingzhi carried a borrowed forest axe to cut down trees himself. Star fruit, a girl, still can't do heavy physical work. She also has her own abilities, such as making simple furniture.

Yang Mingzhi and a group of people were busy in the woods, and the girl sat quietly cross-legged, with a knife in one hand and a wooden stick in the other.

Yerentina, with a sweaty face, came from the temporary command post, the former collective farm office.

"Hey! Where's your husband, Besica? ”

Carambola looked up at the big sister, and she pointed with her little hand. "He led a group of comrades to cut wood in that place."

Yerentina looked up, it was very hot and dry at noon. "This group of men is really full of strength. Betsica, do you have water in your kettle? ”

"Yes."

She was so thirsty that she drank it, looked at the little girl under her nose, and immediately squatted down. "Honey, what are you doing sharpening this stick?"

"It's cutlery."

Star fruit proudly introduced the Chinese diet to this girl, she was making several pairs of chopsticks, and the wooden sticks could be split into cubes, and the small sticks were chopsticks. Of course, her hands were skillful, "Sister Yerenkina, let me give you a gift, a wooden spoon." ”

Naturally, the gift was accepted immediately, and Yelenkina looked at the girl with very admiring eyes, and couldn't help but subconsciously stroke the girl's head. "You're such a funny girl."

She still had a task to do, and when she saw Yang Mingzhi, a big tree fell down with a bang, and some dust was kicked up. Then, a bunch of soldiers went up with axes and split the trunks into building materials.

Yang Mingzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, this building a house is very physical. After drinking some water, I saw Yerenkina in front of me. "What's going on? Command is looking for me? ”

"Yes, Yevlov said, and his chief staff, deputy division commander, has once again taken the lead. The meeting also had to be invited. ”

Yang Mingzhi shrugged his shoulders and beckoned the soldiers to continue cutting down trees according to the plan, shaking his body and leaving with this man. When they came out of the grove, they saw that their wives were still sharpening small wooden sticks, and the two looked at each other and smiled kindly.

"Little Peach, be careful when you peel it. Boil some hot water later. ”

Star fruit nodded and watched her husband leave.

Kuznetsov's troops had been gone for two days, and the people living in the swamps were far from the battlefield, where the muddy geography had become a natural safety zone. Yevlov also understood the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and he was elected as a commander by everyone and must be responsible for the safety of all the people.

To this end, the meeting was to discuss how the entire army would develop in the future.

Yang Mingzhi didn't think too much about it, of course, it will be a long guerrilla war in the future, until the Soviet army counterattacks, and when Operation Bagration liberates Belarus, or the battle can be advanced.

In this large conference room, I saw the flag of the 284th Guards Infantry Division hanging impressively on the wooden wall behind the table. It is not a straggler, but it is also a great honor, which prompts the soldiers not to be passive and slack.

When Yevlov saw Yang Mingzhi coming, he immediately saluted. "Berekov, you're okay cutting trees in the woods, right?"

"I'm fine. I also heard Yerenkina talk about the intentions of this meeting. ”

Yevlov nodded, "Okay, let's not talk about gossip and get straight to the topic." All our officers and militia captains are here, and we have to chart a good path for the future. ”

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere was a little cold. Yang Mingzhi looked around at the people around him, junior officers in uniform, militiamen in civilian clothes, and doctors from Minsk.

Raslyutin, a former doctor at Minsk No. 3 Hospital, was the first to speak when he saw that no one else was silent. "I think we have to survive. Only if we live well can we better fight the enemy. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded, this is indeed a problem that the army is currently facing.

"Survival is very important, but we are facing more problems right now. Food, salt, so far we are not lacking. What we lack now is soldiers. An officer said, and Yang Mingzhi looked at the man. It was a company commander of the 2nd Regiment, whose company had suffered heavy casualties in the war, and only ten men were left to fight.

Yevlov looked at the man: "Kirilenko, what you said makes a lot of sense. Militarily, although we still maintain the military flag, the structure is almost scattered. He was looking at Yang Mingzhi: "At present, in terms of structure, Berekov's troops are more complete. Therefore, I think that it is better to do a good job of military establishment than how more than 1,000 of us survive in the swamps. ”

A large number of military personnel present here are engaged in life and economy, and that is what the civil affairs organs have to do. Now there are only such people as the village chief Pobosky and the Cheka girl Yelentina.

The village of Catfish has almost turned into a large arsenal, and there is no problem with the remaining weapons and equipment of a regiment. At this point in the war, the Germans not only wanted to defeat the Soviet army, but the soldiers and villagers had realized that the invaders were going to slaughter all those they met indiscriminately.

The women and children of Catfish Village, who are not immune to the war.

Yevlov stood up and looked at the military flag: "We have no way back now, we must arm all forces. We need to determine the establishment and define who the commander is. In the future, we will carry out guerrilla warfare, and if we find the Germans by the pond, we will kill them by the pond, and if we find them in the woods, we will kill them in the woods. ”

There was a clear feeling of anger, but when it came to how to organize the fighting, people could not help asking: "Do we have experience in organizing guerrilla warfare?" Is there such a suitable commander? ”

"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi immediately raised his hand. He knew that Yevlov would bring the topic here, and he would inevitably show his strength after that.

Yang Mingzhi stood up and bowed to everyone first. He had already put on his glasses, and the guy who was crazy about fighting suddenly became Sven.

"Okay, you have something to say." Yevlov urged, "This is what you hoped for now, and guerrilla warfare was originally proposed by you." “

"Yes, it's me. We are now in a situation where there is only one way to go through guerrilla warfare, and we must respond to the call of Comrade Stalin, we are partisans at the moment. As for how to conduct guerrilla warfare, you can listen to me slowly. ”

Yang Mingzhi boasted that he knew guerrilla warfare very well, and the geography of the Pripyat marshes was a paradise for partisans. Filled with tall thatch, bushes and plenty of woods, it's easy to defend and difficult to attack.
