Chapter 815: Joshua Women's Barracks
The convoy continued on its way, and the road ahead was smooth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The hot springs are not very vegetated, except for a few scattered forests like chess pieces, a few small plains interspersed, and more ponds with reeds.
Because of the underground hot springs, the area around the hot springs remains relatively warm even in winter. When the north side begins to be covered with heavy snow, there is often some grass growing around the springs.
Barracks are scattered right next to these woods, and tall pine trees provide some shelter. In fact, if the Germans had sent reconnaissance planes to hover over this forest with great interest, they would have been able to find this place. It's just that since the end of the battle a dozen days ago, the German army has simply died down.
This is a battlefield where battles can break out every day, at any time.
Once in wartime, all troops were put on first level of alert, and the attitude towards prisoners of war became extremely serious.
Joshua's women's battalion was assigned to the hot springs to guard the prisoners of war, and the battalion lost the possibility of going to war once. She herself was quite regretful, and many of her subordinates were secretly rejoicing.
The latest results of the operation came out, a total of 1,500 troops were sent and a thousand were sacrificed. After being besieged by two divisions of German troops and achieving such a tragic result, the majority of officers and men thought not only about how many casualties they inflicted on the enemy, but also asked themselves what would happen if the female battalion went to the front.
In February, the campaign ended completely, and the two female battalions that participated in the battle suffered heavy casualties, and Joshua lost nearly half of them.
Before going to war for the first time, these women really had serious training, and they were angry with the enemy, eager to go to the battlefield and fight bravely to kill the enemy, and the intensity of the war was beyond imagination. Death comes suddenly, and even with long-term training, a single negligence on the battlefield can kill you.
After this war, the surviving women can be regarded as veterans, and they really understand what modern warfare is.
They were by no means a bunch of soldiers, but they had become more cautious, and what they had seen and heard was told to the new sisters. The completely realistic description of the battlefield really hit the fiery heart of a girl who was full of family hatred and hatred for the country.
Joshua didn't know who Anna and Asalia really were, she only felt that the two little sisters were purely naturally timid. This is the most troublesome thing for her, and some people in the entire women's barracks are like this. How can such a soldier be of great use?
Cowardice, which is a common emotion in soldiers, is also more likely to be cowardly in women. How to make people overcome cowardice, Joshua has no more means, only intensified training. She could sense that Anna and Asalia had some different temperaments, which made them both go to pick up the chief who had come from afar.
On the other hand, Joshua herself also prepared a welcoming ceremony, and the whole battalion stood in the camp in formation, waiting for the arrival of the deputy division commander.
……
There was a roar in the distance, and a string of moving "bread" emerged from the dirt road in the forest. They swayed in a swaying snakeskin, seemingly trying to avoid bumps.
Joshua knew that this area would also be developed in the future. She had only heard that the fertilizer produced by a fertilizer factory was a hundred times stronger than the manure of humans and animals.
In addition to training, her soldiers also carry hoes to clear the land, and the tubers of potatoes are planted in batches, and they are about to reach the harvest season.
Most of the female soldiers are young rural girls who are quite good at farming. Because of this, everyone can conclude that the potatoes they planted with their own hands two months ago will not be very large, even if they are ripe. Not only because they are sown on cold days, the biggest factor restricting their expansion, but also because of the lack of fertilizer.
Now, trucks carrying all the equipment for the construction of the fertilizer plant have finally arrived, and the female soldiers are looking forward to it, as if they are preparing for a better day ahead.
The convoy was getting closer and closer, and Joshua tried to pull her sharp voice: "All of them, stand up!" ”
Except for a platoon of female soldiers, who worked with male overseers to supervise the work of prisoners of war in the sulphur mines, the other female soldiers gathered here.
They stood on either side of the hardened road, in a thin line, according to the etiquette of Soviet soldiers.
Yang Mingzhi personally drove the first car and led the entire convoy into the camp. From a distance, he saw a large figure, like a street tree, or like a guard of honor standing on both sides of the road in the square during a military parade.
With a smile, Yang Mingzhi said to the two girls sitting in the back row: "Your battalion commander is really interesting, I am here to supervise the establishment of a fertilizer plant, and I am here to inspect the first battalion of your female soldiers this time." ”
This is the deputy division commander's question, and someone has to answer it.
Anna plucked up her courage and suppressed her trembling body with willpower: "Yes...... It was our battalion commander's order, and in order to welcome the commander's visit, we had to do the proper etiquette. ”
Yang Mingzhi nodded, Qiao Shuya was right to do this. After fighting in February, she and her men returned to their original position as a tactical reserve. Unless it's an all-out battle, they'll line up on the battlefield. There is no such large-scale operation at the moment, and there is nothing wrong with female soldiers monitoring prisoners of war here in the sulphur mines.
It was only the second Battle of Kharkov that was destined to take place in May, and the 284th Division would definitely be ordered to act on a large scale, and if Joshua's female soldiers were to waste their training, it would be fatal for this battalion.
Now, the female soldiers of this battalion are really like a guard of honor, each with a distance of about two meters, they are dressed in good summer uniforms, and they hold rifles with bayonets in their hands, and the butts of these rifles are attached to their right feet without exception. One by one, they held their heads high and their chins raised.
They are a group of young women, and it can be seen from their immature faces that many of them are in their early twenties.
Russian women, once they enter middle age, are extremely prone to eating fat, because of race, their obesity will make themselves look like a barrel. There is absolutely no possibility of such a woman becoming a soldier, so the female soldiers selected are all young without exception.
Normal male soldiers are still disciplined and will not behave rudely in this serious scene.
But the workers were different, and Yang Mingzhi's ears were filled with hooligan whistles, which was extremely embarrassing.
"What the hell! Rygushkov, haven't your people seen a woman in their lives? Or do you think the existence of female soldiers is very special? Yang Mingzhi scolded, and also paid attention to the expressions of these female soldiers in the honor guard.
Obviously, this harassment did not make his demeanor out of shape, and everyone was already holding their chests high, their heads high, and their pride.
This bad episode passed quickly, Yang Mingzhi aimed at the position of the red flag, stepped on the accelerator and ran straight over, and stopped in front of Qiao Shuya herself, which made her surprised for a while, and her body unconsciously took two steps back.
