After the start of the Great Patriotic War, Belarusians had two very different attitudes towards the invaders. Some retreated eastward into the Soviet rear, while others welcomed the Germans in costumes and flowers in their hands, as if they were not invaders.

Some hoped that the arrival of the Germans would save them from Stalin's repressive policies, with 100,000 Belarusians working together with the Nazi occupation forces during the war. They even became accomplices of the Nazis, so that many partisans were betrayed, and the people who supported the partisans were killed, and these people were traitors.

It was late July 1941, and the month was about to pass.

The Germans quickly occupied most of Belarus, and a large number of residents did not have time to evacuate, and only a small number crossed the Dnieper.

At present, the guerrillas are a small minority, and most of them are stragglers who have lost contact with the troops, as well as some patriots. The number of guerrillas in Catfish Village is quite large.

These days, Yang Mingzhi is very busy. After the reorganization of the army, a large number of wounded soldiers in the ranks are still recuperating, and they can only do some simple work, and the military training of a large number of militia and young soldiers will also begin.

"Husband, do I really want to use a rifle? The recoil of this weapon, I really can't stand it. Star fruit complained, it all started when Yang Mingzhi gave her a Mosin Nagant.

"Momo, you have to learn to use these weapons, you should even try your hand at machine guns. Since all young soldiers have to be trained, you are no exception. ”

She is certainly a wife, and she is a little delicate at the age of seventeen.

Yang Mingzhi can't stand girls pretending to be delicate the most, they just deliberately behave very weakly in front of men, in fact, many girls can be very good female soldiers with a little training, but this will sacrifice a slender figure.

The aesthetic concept of the future was meaningless during the war years, and star fruit she had to become a female warrior, and the job of a hygienist could not be left behind.

Carambola sighed helplessly, so she had to carry a steel gun out of the woodcut with the support of her husband.

The Soviet soldiers built houses very quickly, also because of the help of the villagers of Catfish Village. After all, they built their own wooden house, and now they help the soldiers build houses by surprise, which is a bit shabby.

The couple's requirements are not high, the wooden bed is flat enough, and the bedding can make do. At least I don't know how high it is compared to sleeping in the open.

Yang Mingzhi knew that his wife must have complained about the rifle, this kind of full-power bullet has extremely high kinetic energy, a very long range, and a very large relative recoil.

To train a teenager to become a soldier, the rifle is the most basic weapon, which must be practiced.

There were a total of twenty-one people in the juvenile camp, and Yang Mingzhi stroked the back of the star fruit and personally sent her here.

As for the instructors, both of them knew each other, Yang Mingzhi ordered his subordinates, the first company commander to train the general militia, and the second company commander to train these children. This drudgery was handed over to Yevgeny, and in Yang Mingzhi's view, this was simply a military training for "high school students".

Of course, this is a serious military training, not a school requirement to deal with it. Because, these children have to learn how to stand upright, how to kick the right step, and even hold the rifle with the three-edged army thorn to simulate fighting.

There is also the most critical target training, and each person has to shoot at least ten bullets.

Yang Mingzhi looked at these little soldiers who were standing straight, and half of them were girls. Russians develop early, and they already look like adults, but in fact, they are only fourteen or fifteen years old. Most of them wear braids, and the same is true for star fruit in terms of hairstyle.

"Alright, my dear, now your military training has also begun." Yang Mingzhi urged the star fruit to enter the queue, and then called Evgeny over.

"Battalion commander, let Besica come too. Is this appropriate? Isn't she a nurse? Evgeny asked.

Yang Mingzhi smiled slightly, "I know what you want to ask." Besica: She is my wife, we have been married for a long time and are very affectionate. Because I love her, I don't want her to be too weak. Military training is indispensable for her, and you have to train her to be almost a soldier. ”

Evgeny understood, he looked at the star fruit, and the smile seemed to say: "Your husband has handed you over to me, and I will train you to be a good soldier." ”

Star fruit sighed, her husband is indeed for his own good, and he can only suffer for a period of time in the future. She carried the gun on her back like everyone else, the four-kilogram rifle was not very heavy, but it was uncomfortable to carry it on her shoulder for a long time.

Yang Mingzhi sat cross-legged on the grass, watching these teenagers and girls train, he cared more about his wife, this little person, she didn't say in terms of physical strength, she had obviously been trained in the Anti-Union before, and compared to others, she was the best at kicking.

Queue practice is very boring, and in mechanical practice, the temperament of a soldier can also be quickly trained. If a soldier walks loosely, it is difficult to convince people that this guy can endure the load of marching and fighting.

This kind of cohort practice lasts for two days, at least to develop a sense of discipline in the children. Of course, "brainwashing" is also very necessary. Compared with Yang Mingzhi, Yelenkina is even busier. She has already become the political commissar of the army, and all the work on spiritual consciousness is hers.

The mobilization of ordinary militias, as well as the policy lectures for the young soldiers.

The first day of training was finally over, and the star fruit pinched her shoulders and lay down loosely in front of her husband, panting heavily.

Just now, Yevgeny ordered the group of children to run in small steps with guns on their backs, and Yang Mingzhi estimated that they had run at least two kilometers along the catfish village. Most children are tired and out of breath, so she can still lie down in front of her and pant as coquettish.

Yang Mingzhi looked at the girl next to him with interest. "How? It's a real rush, we're all running. You can't stand it after you've been running for so long. ”

"I ...... I'm not physically strong, not like ...... Not like your husband. ”

Yang Mingzhi held his chin, this girl was really tired, so that the two small hills on her chest rose and fell very badly. "Okay, okay, you sit up, or stand. If you're so tired, let's drink some water first. ”

After a day of military training, these children seemed to have no complaints. Those blonde and blue-eyed Russian girls decided to join the army because they all had hatred. Kicking the forward step and running in the queue, this is just the beginning, and the target training will be real.

That night, Yang Mingzhi found that his current conditions could actually fry potatoes. The villagers borrowed one from a round-bottomed iron pot for cooking fish, and the fat for stir-frying came from the ploughing cattle that had been eaten before, and part of the butter was refined.

The husband and wife peeled the potatoes, then shredded them, and copied them with water to remove the starch. Then, Yang Mingzhi used a wooden shovel made by his wife to stir-fry, and the aroma attracted many people.

Stir-frying this way of cooking the Soviets did not know, they were more about toasting bread. Now the mill in Catfish Village is urgently processing the wheat kernels brought by the soldiers, and several large ovens made on the improvise are already baking the big lieba.

Just fried potatoes and bread, this kind of life is still a little interesting.

Yerentina smelled the fragrance and brought her own lunch box. In the setting sun, the couple each held two small wooden sticks, holding potato strips like tweezers.

"Come, my comrade commissar, you can eat a little too."

"Well, you Chinese are really interesting."

This was the first time Yerentina had eaten fried potatoes, and the salt was very open, and those ball-like potatoes were so delicious that these two people could cook. The couple is embarrassed, this guy eats really exaggeratedly.

"It's delicious, since you like it so much, I'll give you the rest." Yang Mingzhi teased.

Yerentina was embarrassed for a while, so she had to nod her head and say yes. The star fruit rose unwillingly and muttered: "Obviously my husband made it for me." Treat me. ”

Yerentina heard it all. "Okay, okay, sister is too rude." She turned her head, "Berekov, you must tell me how to make this thing, and I'll make one for Besica tomorrow." ”

"Okay. It's just that I'll do the cooking, and I don't want you to waste the ingredients. ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Yerentina wasn't exactly here to eat, she still had a small piece of bread in her mouth.

Based on the situation of militia training, she had to report to Yang Mingzhi and tell her thoughts by the way.

"For those recruits, short-term training is not a quick success. If you want them to become veterans, you still have to participate in military operations, and it is better to go through a baptism of artillery fire before this group of people can become old guys. "Yelenkina, this is mainly referring to the militia of Catfish Village.

"They didn't fight after all. But now we really don't have any combat missions arranged, there are German troops stationed in the direction of Mozyr and Lechtsa, should we attack them? Unless we attack one or two small forces. ”

"Alas! That's not unavoidable. Yerenkina's eyes lit up. Yang Mingzhi shook his head, it has only been a few days since he was born, is this energetic Cheka girl so eager to fight?

Yerentina left after beating the autumn wind, and she claimed to have gone to Yevlov. One is the division commander and the other is the political commissar, and the star fruit can't help but wonder: "Husband, you said that Sister Yerentina is not interesting to Yevlov." Actually, I think the two of them are pretty good together. ”

"Probably not." Yang Mingzhi suddenly realized that it seemed that Yelenkina and that guy had been getting very close recently. On second thought, it would have been possible if they had developed a bond during the war. As far as he knew, Yevlov was never married.

After a basin of hot water was boiled, the two of them wet the linen cloth and scrubbed themselves. Star fruit is a girl, and she and all the girls who participate in military training enjoy high-standard treatment, and they wash up in the traditional Russian black bathhouse in Catfish Village.

Night gradually fell, and Yang Mingzhi lit a candle in the woodcut. Star fruit is already very tired, which Yang Mingzhi knows very well.

"You lie down obediently now, relax and lie down."

"Alas. Husband, do you want to ......?"

Yang Mingzhi frowned, this girl really looked at herself with some affection. "Okay, just lie down. You're tired for a day, I'll give you a massage to unblock your muscles and bones today. Tomorrow it's hard training. ”
