The matter of the blacksmith village privately distributing supplies was simply settled, and the punishment given to them seemed to be light—for ordinary people who had divided the supplies, there was no culpability for taking out the goods.

The greatest responsibility remains for Rigushkov, who is now forced to be appointed head of arms production. Villager Kavitsky took up the post of head of the new collective farm, and one of the commissars of the army, Ramonsky, was stationed there.

After three days of collection, all the materials that could be found were counted. The air supply provided by Timoshenko solved the problem of winter military uniforms for 5,000 people. The airdropped flour also solved the problem of feeding the troops for a certain time.

Yang Mingzhi is probably the most knowledgeable in the entire army, and his huge knowledge reserve makes his wife star fruit staggering. He is not a scientist, but at least he knows how many calories the average person needs every day to support production and life.

On October 1, Yang Mingzhi was still staying in the blacksmith village. The results of the grain statistics came out, and it was very bad, some sacks fell into the swamp mud pond, and a lot of flour was wasted, but even then more than thirty tons of flour arrived safely.

An adult needs 1,700 kcal a day, or more than 2,100 kcal if there is heavy physical activity. Soldiers intensified their training, and each fighter had to guarantee a supply of 2,000 kcal a day.

According to the daily ration standard issued by the Soviet Army on September 22, 1941, winter combatants were to eat 900 grams of bread and 820 grams of vegetables per day. The Soviets classified potatoes as vegetables, but in fact, they could be regarded as staple foods.

Yang Mingzhi's troops stretched out of the enemy-occupied area, and they did not know that the Soviet army had changed the food standard, so he still carried out the old routine.

"Each soldier has to eat 500 grams of bread and a kilogram of potatoes a day, and this standard is currently followed by the soldiers. If the warriors claim to be hungry, increase the ration of bread. Yang Mingzhi briefly listed the new thing rationing scheme. Because there were too many potatoes dug not long ago, the staple food had to be biased towards this according to local conditions.

500 grams of bread is equivalent to 400 grams of dry flour, and if you make noodles, it will be enough to have eight taels (Lao Maozi's bread is very porcelain). Yang Mingzhi doesn't know who has the ability to eat eight taels of dry noodles a day, because the rice is made of more than three catties of wet noodles. Naturally, the construction workers will eat more, and if the troops do not have extra work on weekdays, it is already good to maintain this level of rationing.

At the same time, he planned to give the common population only two taels of flour a day, and potatoes to one pound per person a day. This kind of rationing system is not given to ordinary people, and if it is a child, it is given less because of the low need, but the child has milk to drink every day.

In the eyes of many fighters, their deputy division commander has been transformed into a nutritionist.

Yang Mingzhi discussed with Yevlov and others, and the masses could be mobilized to fish on a large scale and make salted fish for later use. "Soldiers had to eat meat, and each soldier had to eat meat once a week, and fish twice a week. Fighters who did heavy physical labor were given canned beef. ”

On the issue of food, Yang Mingzhi had to discuss it with the senior officers, and his battalion commanders were also asked to go to the blacksmith village for a meeting to discuss the future of food.

It was at this point in time that the various reconnaissance teams were distributed around the perimeter of the swamp. They tend to dress themselves up as fluffy masses, and large amounts of thatch disguise themselves as haystacks, and lie quietly in ambush.

It was feared that the Germans had finally determined the location of their troops as a result of a series of military victories, and they would immediately retaliate. Since the airdrop, this is even more dangerous.

The Scouts were widely distributed, and as soon as October began, they noticed an anomaly.

A few panicked people were on the run, these people were fleeing with a few luggage and, more interestingly, children.

"These people are hiding from something, there must be a major suspicion." The scouts who were the first to spot each other breathed into each other and quickly emerged from the forest.

The soldiers were also dressed in thick haystacks of camouflage, and because of Yang Mingzhi's preferences, they painted a few lines of lake mud on their faces. Compared with the special forces of later generations, they are much worse, and from a visual point of view, these people are very well disguised.

The fleeing people were completely unaware of it, and they were surrounded by five people.

The men, apparently frightened, immediately collapsed to the ground and said, "Don't kill us." ”

One of the soldiers at the head was very surprised, and saw that these eight people were still trembling, and immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up!" ”

It's a Russian word, and not to mention, the eight unlucky ones will soon be quiet.

"You Russians?" The soldier asked.

"Yes! Of course we are! ”

"What's your name?"

"I'm Roborosky, a native of Kiev, Ukraine."

When the soldier heard this, he was immediately stunned, and felt that the matter was too strange, and the suspicious coefficient of these people suddenly increased, could they be spies? The soldier immediately asked: "Kyiv is 200 kilometers from us, and it was occupied by the Germans on the way, how did you get here, the swamps of Pripyat?" “

"We're on the run! Okay, okay, you're the Soviet Army! It's a guerrilla! Please save me, and at least my children. Robroski fell to his knees, his hands outstretched, as if the scouts were the saviors.

The soldier thought for a moment, "Okay, all of you stand up, my comrades and I will have to search." Make sure you're not a spy and don't have a gun on you. If there is no problem with the inspection, I will take you to the safe zone. ”

Robroski and others complied, and they were examined one by one with their hands raised. The other soldiers did not dare to slack off with their guns, because in such an environment where the situation between friend and foe was intertwined, one negligence could lead to death.

"Okay, you're all right. But your situation is still very suspicious, follow us. “

Scouts find a very different group of refugees, a group of citizens who claim to have fled from the city of Kyiv. The information was sent directly by the scouts to Catfish Village through the radio, and then to the Blacksmith Village.

Both Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov learned of the situation, and in the dark, Yang Mingzhi felt that there seemed to be some major incident that forced these so-called citizens of Kiev to flee in a big way. What exactly? I can't even think of it.

He decided to go back to Catfish Village first, and a day after the refugees arrived in Catfish Village, Yang Mingzhi came back in person. He didn't talk to his wife properly, but couldn't wait to interrogate them. Yerentina naturally followed back, and on the way she kept emphasizing: "You must not take it lightly and always be on guard against German spies." ”

Yang Mingzhi has always felt that Yerenkina was too careful, and the history of World War II as he knew, this swamp has always been a paradise for partisans, a nightmare for the Germans. The encirclement and suppression of the German army had little effect, but the rebels among the partisans robbed their own people like bandits, causing great trouble.

In the interrogation room, there was a boy among the eight men, all standing upright.

A document was handed over to Yang Mingzhi and Yelenkina, the result of yesterday's interrogation by the staff.

"Let's see, your Ministry of Internal Affairs is an expert in doing this kind of thing." Yang Mingzhi teased.

Yerenkina smiled at the results, looked at them carefully, and asked the waiting interrogator.

"These eight people are all citizens of the city of Kyiv who came to us to escape the massacre. It's funny, could it be that the Germans started another massacre. ”

Before the interrogator could speak, Robroski said, "It's a massacre, and it's a shame that we escaped quickly, otherwise we would have died." Because we are Jews, they took all the Jews away. We later heard some rumors that they massacre Soviet citizens in the Babiar Gorge. ”

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi slapped his thigh, and he knew what this inexplicable sense of disobedience was.

The Babiar Gorge massacre, which the Germans took control of after entering the city of Kiev. At first, the townspeople had a fluke attitude towards the Germans, but soon the invaders showed their fangs. They used deception to deceive a large number of Jews and transported them to the Babiar Gorge on the outskirts of Kiev under the pretext of population migration.

Men, women, and even children, all their clothes were taken off, all valuables were handed over, and then they were driven into the canyon to be brutally shot. Throughout World War II, half a million Soviet citizens were slaughtered here.

Yang Mingzhi certainly forgot a lot, because this canyon massacre was a famous atrocity of the Nazis, and now he remembers.

"Berekov, you're too excited now." Yerentina reminded.

Yang Mingzhi consciously lost his posture and immediately quieted down. "Okay, it's up to you to ask."

It turned out that this Robroski was a Jew, and he was widowed at an early age and had only one son. When the Germans entered the city, he was the first to be harmed, and many old friends were taken away one after another, and he sensed the danger and chose to flee at the critical moment.

On the way to escape, they met a number of people, all Jews, who had heard about the massacres during their flight. Just in the distance, the Babiar Gorge always remembered the sound of machine gunfire, and many people were taken there but no one returned. There were rumors of a massacre by the Germans, and all intelligence confirmed that this was true.

Yerentina listened to his statement and nodded frequently, as if she believed him.

"Alright, Robroski, what you say seems to be true, but you need to do something to make us trust you."

Yang Mingzhi didn't speak for a long time, and he was very curious at the moment. "Yerentina, are you still suspicious of this man?"

"Of course, remember, the enemy doesn't sleep. We must be vigilant. ”

Yerentina needs Robroski to prove herself, and the solution is very simple, just pronounce a word. This method is simple and effective, because Yeretina has already studied German, and she is a double German and Russian major. She knew exactly what to say in German.

"If this person is a spy, then if Russian has been learned in recent years, many of their pronunciations are simply not right. In my opinion, German is spoken by a bunch of big tongues, and I always feel like spitting when I learn it myself! ”

This woman's complaint is very vivid, what she wants to do, Yang Mingzhi immediately understood.

On these issues, Mao Zi and Chinese soldiers have a striking similarity in their mindset, that is, the spies' disguised resemblance will also reveal the horse's feet, which are often not easy to spot. In the counterattack against Vietnam, Chinese soldiers often screened Vietnamese spies as long as they took off their outer pants -- because the Vietnamese army's underwear was varied.

So, Yerentina asked them all to say words like "Durak" and "Doruga", because the tongue of the Russian language is a disaster for the Germans. On the contrary, the Chinese can learn better. Yang Mingzhi boasts that this is because Chinese has the most syllable system in the world, and both warped tongue and small tongue sounds can be learned.

After verification, these eight people read the words very well, and Yerenkina finally put her mind at ease.

They were taken away, leaving Yang Mingzhi and her in the interrogation room.

"They should be right, the German invaders were the most cruel, after all, I am a member of the Ministry of the Interior, and I have long known what they did to the Jews of my own country - massacre. Therefore, if we invade our country, it is abnormal not to massacre. ”

"So we should have some retaliation." Yang Mingzhi said.

"Revenge? Is there another military operation? ”

"Maybe, maybe......" Yang Mingzhi became distracted, "I just said it casually." But if it's a military operation, we're going to do it once. We are not turtles, and we are not doing nothing now that we are restocked. ”

Yerenkina could be sure at this time that this Chinese was planning a new battle plan, and it was unknown what it was. But judging by the man's confident smile, the scale of the new military operation is not small. (To be continued.) )
