Kalashnikov walked around the workshop for a while, and saw that the inspectors had been able to master the inspection technology of new products very proficiently, so he didn't stay long, said goodbye to the workshop director and turned to leave. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

To be honest, he felt a little weird in this workshop - except for a small number of helpers, these inspection workshops were basically "men's free"! Most of the young men have left the city, and every time they go to the workshop, they always feel that they belong to an outlier: many families in Izhevsky are mothers and daughters who work together in the factory, and the eyes of the women comrades look at them like mothers-in-law look at their sons-in-law, and the eyes of young girls make him even more uncomfortable, and he does not want to enter the inspection workshop without need.

Sergeants and officers are not forbidden to fall in love in the army, lesbians are national treasures supported by everyone, and there are many young and handsome second lieutenant officers in the army, to put it bluntly, they are nothing; But here, Kalashnikov, who is still considered "young and handsome", is a "national treasure among national treasures"!

The production plan is very tight, and the comrades go all out, and the production targets are exceeded every day, every week, and every month, and the production records are refreshed every three or five times. Work is intense, but once free time, it is clear that Kalashnikov will become a topic of discussion among the women comrades in their leisure time, and this is inevitable.

Walking to the door, the cold wind hit, Krasnikov smelled a little like escaping from the "wolf's den", think about it, it's funny: the women comrades won't really eat him again!

In the week that I have been here, including Fedorov, the director of the first inspection workshop, there have already been four directors and two secretaries who have told him similar questions, and today Fedorov asked himself: "Comrade Kalashnikov, you don't seem to be married, right?" We have a lot of good girls, why don't I introduce you to one? The character and appearance must be good, and she is still a good girl who is willing to work, and she will definitely not suffer a loss when she marries home. ”

The words were heard every day for the last few days, which made the second lieutenant a little crying and laughing.

Good girls, in a place where women are the majority, there are not no really good girls, but there are too many, and if you really want to find a wife, there is too much choice for a young man with such conditions as Kalashnikov! But he did not dare to divide his energies too soon into family matters, although he could have been in love and married for the time being—the relationship between a man and a woman would distract him, so let's talk about it in the future.

However, when he thought of this question of men and women, he would unconsciously have a beautiful figure in his mind -- it was a girl who worked in the cartographic room of the technical section of the main factory, Katya Ekaterina Viktorovna, and for some reason, she often appeared in his mind when the young lieutenant was free in the past two days.

Not only was the girl pretty, but she also knew German, she was only 20 years old and she was skilled in mechanical drawing, and she had a strong common language with herself, which probably attracted the young Kalashnikov.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, he quickened his pace, and arrived at the No. 1 workshop of the assembly plant next door to the shell factory more than ten minutes later. In fact, the "boundary" between the two factories is roughly divided by an intermittent green belt. Izhevsko, one of the largest production bases for light weapons and ammunition in the Soviet Union, is a huge and largely interconnected production area, unlike some places where shell factories, final assembly plants, propellant plants, warhead manufacturing plants, and fire cap factories may be separated, or even far apart.

The division of labor is clear, the management is rigorous, and this arrangement can make the work efficiency to the maximum, under the efficient coordination of the management department of the general plant, the work efficiency of the Izhevsko ammunition manufacturing plant is among the best in the entire industry!

The door of the workshop is halfway open, and the sound of the machine running can be heard from afar, and the production inside is tense.

The ensign who walked into the workshop did not know that the trajectory of his future personal family life had changed subtly under the intervention of the unmasked deputy commander, who "drove the ducks to the shelves": he had met the woman he would love all his life, but he would never meet his first wife again.

This may be a good thing for him, for the woman who died under the wheels of the train, Kalashnikov, who had not met her all her life for guns, would probably have a long and happy family life for her.

Different from the relative silence of the shell inspection workshop, there is such a noise here, and the workers are talking to each other to shout! The long production line, with several different accessories for assembling 7.62×39mm rifle cartridges from different parts of the production line, will soon be automatically assembled into a single round that rolls off the output.

Workers take the finished bullets from the conveyor belt and transport them, and the packing shop places them in boxes of 20 rounds, and then into large, flat green plank ammunition boxes.

Originally, according to the standard procedure, there should be a layer of galvanized thin iron sheet made of full-occlusion waterproof and moisture-proof iron box (two iron boxes in a wooden box), and each iron box should be equipped with a key to open the box, which should be placed in the wooden box. But now the ammunition is transported to the front as soon as it is produced, there is no need for storage at all, and in addition to the shortage of resources, the project of iron boxes in Izhevsko, in the last two months, has been avoided. However, in other places, most of the factories that can guarantee the supply of galvanized iron sheets are still producing according to standard procedures.

The omission of a packaging step is not a trivial problem, Izhevsk's approach was approved by the Directorate for the Production of Light Weapons and Ammunition of the Ministry of Armament: otherwise it is possible that someone would have been shot for this!

The most important thing is the reaction of the front-line troops - for the 7.62×39mm rifle cartridges, which are in great demand, commanders and soldiers can guarantee their ammunition supply, which will be acceptable to pack a few layers of waterproof iron cartridges: because they are already used before they even have a chance to get wet, but some other ammunition still requires standard packaging.

What is the actual needs of the troops, the factory will provide it, and other guns and ammunition will still have to be in standard packaging, and after the supply can be guaranteed in the future, all ammunition will return to standard procedure operation. And this will be because the wooden boxes are all made of "assembly line", without layers of iron boxes, the dozens of cardboard boxes inside will be unstable in transportation: the comrades of the workers solved this problem in the simplest way - two more empty cardboard boxes, and the problem was solved.

It is much easier to provide two cardboard boxes than two iron boxes - a practical analysis of the actual situation, all for the front.

Some time ago, the ammunition produced by the factory was shipped directly to the front line, perhaps directly from the railway station to the line of fire, but this would seem to have eased up a lot. The factory's ration of galvanized iron boxes also seems to be sufficient, and from next week, the factory will resume standard packaging procedures - this will be an emergency measure and not a habit.

……

Lin Jun's landline was flying over the Smolensk region, and he was reading a telegram he received in the morning from Yugoslavia.

Late last month, the superior German forces surrounded the three guerrilla bases of Chachak, Požega, and Užice, and Tito's guerrillas could no longer hold out in western Serbia.

On 25 November, the guerrillas began to retreat from Užitse, with about 300 wounded, according to the rule set by Tito and the liaison in consultation: if the wounded could not be housed in a safe place, the troops had to take them with them - because according to the experience of the Yugoslav and Soviet guerrilla warfare, once the partisans were captured, there was only one fate!

On the 29th, German tanks attacked Užice. The Užice workers' battalion, which was responsible for guarding the northern main road to the city, was divided and surrounded by the Germans, and the whole battalion of 240 men fought to the end like the Spartan warriors of Thermopylae, and finally died on the hill of Cardiniacha!

The main partisan force marched through the Zlatibol Mountains, towards the inhospitable and inaccessible mountains, and finally retreated to Durmitor in Montenegro, leaving some 3,000 men in Western Serbia to hold on to the struggle.

The failure of the first anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign showed that the guerrillas were still inexperienced in a head-on battle with an enemy who had a far superior advantage in technology and weapons, and that the guerrillas were not good at attacking the enemy's firmly fortified strongholds.

In this summer's uprising, the Yugoslav peasants were fighting to defend their homeland, but Tito needed a field force capable of maneuvering. On 8 December, Tito formed the 1st Proletarian Brigade, which was also the opinion of the liaison officers sent by Lin Jun - it was necessary to have a strong mobile field force.

The basic members of the 1st Proletarian Brigade were 1,199 volunteers from Montenegro and Serbian partisans, and the brigade commander was Kocha Popovich, a Serb who had participated in the international column, and Lin Jun's old comrade-in-arms, although he had never met at the beginning.

"The guerrilla war in Yugoslavia is finally on the right track, and it depends on whether Tito and the proletarians of Yugoslavia can create a miracle in human guerrilla warfare."

Outside the cabin, the Russian wilderness is white, and the farm has largely stopped production for a year, preparing for next year.

Before the Battle of Minsk, Stalin issued an order "not to retreat a single step", and he did not want to retreat strategically: this order allowed the Red Army to withstand the enemy's attack. There is another effect, which has already been manifested this year - the huge grain-producing areas of Ukraine, Belarus and western Russia are still in their hands, and this year is another bumper harvest year, and the commanders and fighters of the Red Army have protected their cultivated land with steel defense lines, and have protected precious grain for themselves and their relatives!

Originally, at this time, the Soviet Union basically lost several of its most important grain-producing areas, grain production fell to a record low, and the high command could not get enough food to feed the troops, let alone civilians, and the rations were unimaginably low, and many people starved to death in this bitter cold winter!

But now, although some of the grain-producing areas have been lost, the vast majority of them are still in their own hands, and the grain for the autumn harvest has been stationed or distributed, at least until next year's autumn harvest, if the front is no longer to the east, although the supply is tight, but at least a large-scale famine will not occur.

Lin Jun, who closed his eyes and recuperated, continued to think about another matter: the day before yesterday, he passed an order from the high command by telephone, which Alexander had sent to him: the Red Army would set up a "punishment battalion".

Although the lack of soldiers is not very serious, it has slowly been reflected: in fact, Lin Jun does not see it that way, because the losses of the Red Army in the early stage of the war are only about one-third of the "historical standard", at least the situation like the "siege of Kiev" has not appeared, and most of the experienced troops and commanders and fighters have been retained.

But in the eyes of the high command, now the losses have already caused problems with the source of the Red Army's troops, what should I do?

I really don't know how the USSR survived in history!

Alexander came up with the idea of adding 300,000 "elite troops" to the Red Army in a short period of time - to release prisoners from labor camps and correctional institutions in advance and to replenish them: "Don't let these 'Soviet dust' waste Soviet food anymore, let them take responsibility for the war!" ”

After deliberation, Stalin allowed men aged 17-45 and women aged 18-30 who had been exiled to concentration camps in Kazakhstan and Siberia after 1937 to join the army in order to clear their lives for crimes against the motherland.

In fact, Alexander did not think that the soldiers were so nervous that they wanted to use prisoners, but he just wanted that the last group of personnel who were still in prison and were "purged" would no longer waste food, and those prisoners whose crimes were relatively minor would allow them to exert their warm-up and atone for their crimes.

Most of the people who went to prison for the "purge of rebellion" in the early days have long been released, and in addition to ordinary prisoners, there are quite a few executioners of the "purge of rebellion" who are still in prison, and they are now serving their sentences in prison.

Alexander has already become a "real" NKVD: this time it is a waste use, and a group of cannon fodder is better than a scarecrow in a wheat field. According to what he told Lin Jun: "Even if you exchange ten for one, you can also reimburse 30,000 fascists." ”

Even in the Soviet Union, the number of thieves and economic criminals who "gathered" in prisons and correctional institutions on such a large territory was also a large number, and there were also many prisoners in labor camps with other problems. In the tens of millions of troops, a very small number of them deserted in the early stage of the battle, and they were either caught and shot, or sent to labor camps.

Instead of wasting food in prison, give them a chance to atone for their crimes - to enter a correctional camp!

Lin Jun agreed to the decision of the High Command to reuse waste, including those so-called "literati prisoners" who chirped crookedly about the current state system, let them pick up guns, and let them know what kind of way to love their motherland!

As for how to use these troops, according to the plan given by the General Staff, in order to facilitate management and to prevent people from escaping, the correctional units will generally adopt a battalion-level establishment, with about 800 men per battalion and 150-200 men per company.

During the battle, the correctional battalion will be interspersed and arranged in the middle of the combat unit so that friendly and neighboring troops can monitor it. The combat mission of the correctional battalion is basically the same as that of ordinary infantry units, except that they will often be sent to carry out high-risk tasks such as reconnaissance and flanking in order to detect enemy fire points, surprise capture enemy high ground, etc. - typical cannon fodder usage.

Iron discipline is required, and even no humanitarian provisions are required, because this is the case on the Eastern Front - in the future, soldiers who have made certain mistakes on the front line will also be sent to correctional camps if the crime does not reach the level of being shot.

Alexander told the people who did it that they should choose their own people on a voluntary basis - either they would stay in prison or they would become a soldier who would go into battle for the Motherland and the people!

The people in the prison understood that it would be difficult to supply the troops and the working people, let alone the prison, rather than slowly rotting in the prison (the war was so big). It is better to go to the front line and fight the fascists. In this way, even if he dies in battle, his family can still become a martyr's family, receive preferential treatment from the state, and leave a good reputation for himself.

The vast majority of eligible people in prison will sign up, but of course, some of them are afraid not to participate: some people are afraid of death, but if they don't participate, death may come in their eyes.

The state has given them a chance, and if this is not grasped, it will be hopeless garbage - ordinary people who evade military service will be severely punished by the law, not to mention those prisoners in the war!

In fact, Alexander's men prepared it just like that: voluntarily. Continuing to stay in prison? They plan that if eligible prisoners are unwilling to participate, these prisoners will not only be guilty of ordinary crimes, but can even be compared to treason, and there will only be one result for such people - when those who signed up are sent away, everyone else will be shot!

Garbage, not even the dregs of society that is as good as garbage, why keep it?!

Lin Jun knew that this punishment camp was a special product of special history, but it was Alexander, a "ruthless man", who advanced the time. However, in Lin Jun's opinion, the punishment camp is not useless, and there have even been many "Heroes of the Soviet Union", and many survivors have been awarded medals.

A whole bunch of former criminals and prisoners in history washed away their crimes with their actions, became real warriors, heroes of the country, and learned how to love their Soviet Motherland.

The camps were sent to both civilians and former officers, and as far as Lin Jun knew, there were many "historical" celebrities among them: for example, the famous Lieutenant Matvienko, who was wounded in the Battle of Vyazma in October 1941, deserted on the way back to the army after being discharged from the hospital, hid in his hometown, and was later sent to the 265th Correctional Battalion, where he became an outstanding reconnaissance hero behind enemy lines.

There is also the example of Zia Buniyatov, who served as a company commander of the 123rd Correctional Battalion, and his troops can be described as heroic and tenacious: in the Battle of Oder-Vistula in early 1945, the 123rd Correctional Battalion served as the vanguard of the forced crossing of the Vistula River and opened a landing bridgehead for the follow-up troops.

Without any artillery cover, the attack of the 123rd Correctional Battalion began late at night on January 2, and as soon as they set out, they were suppressed by the unusually heavy fire of the Germans.

The 123rd Punishment Battalion lost more than half of its rubber boats when it rowed to the center of the river, and the river was full of floating corpses, but the soldiers still stubbornly climbed onto the river bank, and after repeated battles, by noon the next day, the 123rd Punishment Battalion, which had suffered heavy losses, finally occupied the bridgehead with the support of a large force! As a result of this battle, only 47 of the 670 officers and men of the 123rd Correctional Battalion survived, all of whom were awarded medals and medals, and Buniyatov was awarded the title "Hero of the Soviet Union".

At the beginning of June 1944, the 1st Belorussian Front of the Soviet Union secretly dispatched hundreds of sabotage teams to carry out the "Bagration" offensive to encircle and annihilate the German Army Group "Center", focusing on German military stations, railway junctions and warehouses.

Because the origin of the people in the punishment camp is relatively complex, in Lin Jun's view, "there are many heroes in Liangshan" -- there are many capable people who show their powers: one of the sabotage teams codenamed "Rabbit" is composed entirely of punishment soldiers, some of whom have been thieves, and some of whom have been drama actors.

The "old profession" experience gave the "rabbits" a huge amount of room to maneuver, stealing German vehicles, clothing and documents in the city of Minsk, and then disguised themselves to destroy the German vegetable and fruit supply bases, oil refineries and ammunition depots. They also cut off the military telephone lines between the German Army Group "Center" and Berlin, making a great contribution to the "Bagration" offensive.

As Gu Lin Jun knows, there are also some high-tech soldiers who have been punished have also been given the opportunity to atone for their crimes, and even there are disciplinary units in the Air Force: there is a special air punishment battalion in the Air Force, and the commander of the battalion is the "Hero of the Soviet Union" Ivan Fedorov.

From October 1943, this air punishment battalion shot down nearly a hundred enemy planes in just 3 months! There was also a miracle in the history of the human air force: in a battle, the Yak-9 fighter piloted by the battalion pilot Seshin Kalenko was besieged by a number of German Bf109 fighters, and after a scuffle, Seshin Kalenko shot down 3 enemy planes, and his own plane was also seriously damaged and had to jump from a height of nearly 7,000 meters.

The parachute did not open until it was only 500 meters above the ground, but Seshin Kalenko did not go to see the Grim Reaper, and he fell into the snow of the canyon, which was more than 1 meter thick. He didn't die, and after several months of recuperation, he returned to the front.

However, the penitentiary units existed for a short time, and the proportion of the Red Army in the Great Patriotic War became smaller and smaller, from less than three percent to more than one percent at the time of the defeat of the Germans, and then this special unit was abolished: the proportion was reduced, and the reason for the casualties of the correctional battalions was partly due to the high divisions, and the other was to give those special soldiers a chance - after a while, the men of the correctional battalions who fought bravely were transferred to the ordinary units. Give them hope.

As for the final cancellation: they have already proven their loyalty to the Motherland with their actions, washing away their crimes, and the camp certainly has no need to exist.

As a commander, Lin Jun sometimes has to learn to be a "ruthless person".

The plane finally arrived at Moscow's central airport, and the convoy immediately headed for the Kremlin. This will be the headquarters not only to listen to Lin Jun's report, but also to have Lin Jun participate in the decision, including the invitations from London and Washington that Moscow has just received.

Molotov will be the head of the Soviet delegation, and he will be accompanied by a relatively large delegation: Lin Jun will not know that he will soon meet a woman in his life who will make him fall in love again, except for Vukinskaya.

The romantic nature of the Russian nation exists in his shell, but Lin Jun didn't realize it before, and now in addition to war and politics, a small emotional test is waiting for him.
