Chapter 268: Balzen Returns

The meeting was over, and the village square was calm after all the soldiers left. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yerentina's speech showed these people's attitude, and it was also a reassuring pill for everyone. Next, Yang Mingzhi and her had to continue to wait, Balzen and his people were about to return with a full load of goods.

For Yang Mingzhi, Balzen's subordinate is a capable general. In this operation, he claimed to have brought back a large amount of twisted steel bar, and lied about the military situation, and there was no such word in this person's bullet. The goods are real, and when the steel is brought back, Rygushkov will not be able to rest for a moment!

So in order to greet him, Yang Mingzhi first led the star fruit to the canteen, and then instructed a few cooks: "You guys have paid attention." I'm going to entertain a friend today, and the usual food must not be sincere enough, so how to cook this lunch, you can all leave it to Besica's disposal. ”

Carambola was flattered, she was pushed out by her husband to become a cook, can this be done?

She turned her head nervously and asked her husband, "To treat Balzen, I'm going to be today's chef?" ”

"That's right. The Soviets, because of their national habits, mainly eat bread and potatoes, you make a pot of noodles, so that guy likes it too. ”

As soon as she heard the word noodles, Yerenkina's eyes immediately straightened, and she immediately clapped her hands and exclaimed: "Bessica! Your husband has a very good point, and besides, today is the last day of the year 1941 in the Gregorian calendar. Make something delicious today! I'll be there at noon. ”

Carambola knew exactly what she was supposed to do, and she agreed.

Then, Yang Mingzhi went straight to the village committee of the blacksmith village and continued to discuss some matters with the village chief Kavitsky.

Balzen, on the other hand, was ordered to return. On the way back, they encountered no danger, and the biggest trouble was that after the temperature broke through freezing during the day, the earth began to thaw. The sleds were difficult, and he had to order his men to avoid the heat as much as possible.

It wasn't until this mighty team and their goods arrived in Heitu Village that the situation changed.

They brought back mainly scrap copper and iron, and surprisingly two heavy guns, that is, the cannons abandoned by the German army.

Earlier, when the 1st Regiment led by Roshakov passed through the village of Heitu, he briefly explained to the locals what had happened, including the fact that the troops suffered heavy losses from German shelling.

The villagers of Heitu Village immediately understood that the captured artillery pieces belonged to the Germans, and each of them killed many Soviet soldiers. Now that they have been captured by Soviet troops, it seems that they can retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

But Balzen immediately explained to the onlookers and militiamen. "These artillery pieces have been destroyed by our army, on the surface they are undamaged, but in fact the inside of the barrel is no longer good!"

In the village of Black Earth, Balzen's men corrected for the day. The "demolition brigade" that retreated with them, these militiamen went back to their homes. Everyone is tired from a busy day, so get a good night's sleep when you go back to your respective homes.

The head of the village of Black Soil, Volmansky, saw the goods that Balzen had brought back, and the heavy steel would soon become weapons in the hands of the soldiers, so the militia he sent was really a great achievement.

In order to transport the goods away as soon as possible, Volmansky ordered Balzen to be changed horses immediately, and the sleighs were all turned into carriages. A large number of villagers were mobilized, both men and women, and the masses carried the goods on the sleds to the wagons with their bare hands.

The power of the masses of the people is great, and as long as the masses are mobilized, the originally laborious loading and unloading work will soon be completed. The whole process did not require Balzen and his tired fighters to work, and everyone's task was to recuperate, because the escort was not over.

In the village of Black Earth, Balzen finally didn't have to eat ruins with ruins of ruin. Volmansky had two sheep slaughtered, and the soldiers drank delicious sheep soup. Of course, Maozi's method emphasizes the richness of the meat and vegetables in the soup, which is almost a hodgepodge of soups, but it is also a reward for the soldiers for their days of hard work.

In addition, some remained in Homnich, where an observation post was planned to be built in case of a German attack. The people there were still struggling to hold on, and Balzen had to say something of his own to Womamansky.

"There is still a lot of steel in that city, and we have not fully examined the wreckage of the German army. The bodies of our fallen soldiers were not all collected in order to establish a unified cemetery, because, in my opinion, our army would have to go to Homnich several more times. ”

Volmansky obeyed the command of the division headquarters in everything, and according to Balzen, it is true that the troops can continue to use Homnitsch. He said: "The deputy division commander is in the blacksmith village, he is the chief of staff of our army, and his suggestion is likely to be adopted." Once he adopts it, you tell him that my Heitu Village and the vast number of villagers are completely at the disposal of the division headquarters. ”

"Okay, I'll explain."

After the two worked out some details, the convoy will set off again. Early in the morning, the soldiers got up early, and the time they were stationed in Heitu Village was very short, but everyone ate very well. Mutton soup was eaten, followed by milk and yogurt cubes, and everyone drank and ate a lot. After repairing, most of the people have recovered to a good state, although the sky is not yet bright, everyone is in good spirits.

Thirty wagons were heading towards the blacksmith village, each pulling heavy steel bars. It is estimated that each cart weighs around a tonne, so that each wagon is pulled by four horses, which is really no problem for these large domestic animals.

With four horsepower, there was no problem in pulling the heavy artillery, so Balzen directly ordered the fighters to sit on top of the cargo. Unless the wheels of the wagon sink into the mud, the warrior dismounts and rests the sticks under the wheels. This thing is actually the same idea as the tank's self-rescue stick, after all, every one of these tons of carriage must not have an accident.

Finally, in anticipation, Balzen has finally arrived! The guards standing guard immediately conveyed the information to the office of the village committee and immediately prepared for the work.

Therefore, those soldiers who had been lectured by Yerentina just a few hours earlier, naturally all of them volunteered to become soldiers of the 284th Division. Their new job, moving goods, in addition to logging, is about to begin.

There was probably a battalion of soldiers organized, and Yang Mingzhi ordered one of the platoon commanders, named Anatoly, to serve as the temporary battalion commander. As everyone knows, this decision almost gave the establishment of this battalion. Yang Mingzhi saw that there were almost 600 people in this wave, and directly appointed Anatoly as the temporary battalion commander, and his first task was to be a porter.

This is an opportunity to perform, Anatoly does not dare to slack off, and others are in a hurry to perform.

Balzen arrived before noon, and the welcome ceremony was very simple, the so-called welcome was only a small number of people, but there were a lot of lively villagers.

After seeing a large amount of metal steel bars, many people immediately ran to the arsenal happily, shouting that a large amount of metal had arrived. Rygushkov was so happy about this that he couldn't help but admit frankly: "They have finally arrived at the right time, and now the blast furnace does not have to worry about not having enough material to return to the furnace." ”

Yang Mingzhi was also less polite, he and Yelenkina gave him the results of understanding Balzen, and directly led him to the private room of the canteen. As for the goods, they were all handed over to the soldiers for handling, after which they were handed over to Riguskov for disposal.

Before that, everyone went to the canteen to eat, and after eating, they talked about the completion of the task, and Yang Mingzhi felt that it was very enjoyable.

Lunch is a noodle meal that is also paired with traditional Russian cuisine. Balzen was very fond of Yang Mingzhi's Chinese food, which he thought was like soup, and he ate noodles and vegetable soup to his stomach, and it was very delicious.

At this lunch, Yang Mingzhi also invited Rygushkov and several cadres of the village committee to this lunch. Star fruit, the chef who cooked a large pot of noodles, was rewarded with a night of sweetened yogurt for lunch.

Balzen ate comfortably, and by the way talked about his own harvest. About thirty tons of scrap metal was staggering, and Rygushkov was taken aback: "A grenade needs about 500 grams of cast iron, and thirty tons is enough to make 600,000 pieces!" ”

"That's only part of it!" Balzen recounted what he had said in Heitu Village, that is, the work of smashing the wall to get the reinforcement had to be continued.

Yang Mingzhi nodded and asked, "How many more scrap copper and rotten iron can you estimate you can collect?" ”

"About 300 tons! I don't know, Homnich is a small city, but there is definitely a lot of steel. In addition, the Germans also abandoned a lot of equipment, such as the cannons they abandoned, and this time I pulled back the two. These things can be recycled. ”

Speaking of artillery, Yang Mingzhi knew that all the German artillery was damaged, and how they used it depended on Riguskov's ability.

Yang Mingzhi was very happy, "You came back on the last day of 1941 and brought so many raw materials, which was enough for our army to remake rocket-propelled grenades!" ”

At this lunch, Yang Mingzhi was very happy, he drank some wine and talked eloquently, and touted his invention even more. Everyone is also following Lehe, no matter what, the 284th Guards Division has mastered the design drawings of some advanced weapons and has the production capacity.

In the end, everyone at the meal stood up, including the star fruit, who also stood up and raised their glasses.

"Cheers to 1942!" Yang Mingzhi took the lead in drinking this cup, and the meal was over.

After that, everyone got busy again, especially Riguskov, and after the metal was in hand, he and his men had to start a huge project of making weapons.

And Yang Mingzhi, since he came up with a "Pripyazi Weapons Design Bureau" on his own initiative, he really has to be busy. Because his novices must be trained by their own experts, so that they can become real military designers, not a group of young people with strong blood. (To be continued.) )
