On the third day of Sidorenko and Ivan's activities in Finland, they encountered a German detachment of 24 men, which was their first encounter with the Germans in Finland. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After two full hours of hide-and-seek fighting, the two Shidorenko made the squad history, capturing a German staff officer who was about to return to the command with the detachment.

It only took 10 minutes for Shidorenko to get what he wanted, and it was precisely because of this that he decided to end the rear safari of the two ahead of schedule and return to the defensive line and report the information to the top as soon as possible.

Lin Jun was glad that his subordinates had obtained such important information, which was putting gold on his face. It is very appropriate to put Voroshinov in charge of this, Comrade Marshal is shrewd and will not suffer losses and cause problems.

After saying this, Lin Jun informed everyone about the logistics supply, war mobilization, and the losses of the army over the past week: although it was a rough and detailed statistics, the losses of the Red Army still made the hearts of the people in the high command gloomy.

In just one week, the troops have lost more than 400,000 personnel! And the consumption of materials and equipment is even more astronomical, which has exceeded the limit of logistics that can be quickly replenished! The front line is a big grinding wheel of flesh and blood, the largest meat grinder from ancient times to the present, and both sides are smashing troops and equipment into it as if they are not dying.

Those are hundreds of thousands of excellent troops who have been trained, not untrained cannon fodder, and anyone will be gloomy in their hearts.

Now in boot camps all over the Soviet Union, millions of outstanding young men swear to the military flag: "I, a citizen of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, on the occasion of joining the armed forces, solemnly swear: I pledge to be an upright, courageous, record-abiding and hundred-fold vigilant soldier, to strictly observe military and state secrets, and to unconditionally carry out all military orders and orders of commanders and chiefs."

I swore to conscientiously study military affairs, to do my utmost to protect military supplies and people's property, and to be loyal to the people, to the Soviet Motherland and to the Soviet Government.

I am always ready to defend my homeland, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, in accordance with the orders of the Soviet Government, and, as a soldier of the armed forces, I swear to defend my motherland bravely, tactfully, loyally and honorably, and to shed blood and sacrifice for the complete victory of the struggle against the enemy.

If I break this solemn oath of mine, I am willing to accept the severe punishment of Soviet law and the bitter hatred and spurning of the working people. ”

The shortest soldiers in the field forces facing the Soviet Union were conscripted in the autumn of 1940, and the recruits who were conscripted in the spring of 1941 were used as the reserve of the army and did not go to the front line at all, which means that the German troops faced by the Soviet Union basically saw what war and death were. Had it not been for the changes in the past two years, the recruits of the Red Army who had been conscripted into the army in March-April 1941 would have been immediately incorporated into the field army, and the one-year soldiers in the border guards accounted for more than two-thirds of the total number of ordinary soldiers before the war, and half of the one-year soldiers were conscripted in 1941. Moreover, many of them did not have time to take the oath before the battle, and because of this, they were not really armed by the time the enemy attacked.

But the two large-scale expansions of the army in the past two years have made the situation in the Red Army much better, at least the proportion of one-year soldiers who were conscripted last year is within a normal value, and due to the intervention of the upper echelons, the proportion of soldiers in the army who have overserved for one to two years is very high, and these veterans are the backbone of the army! More than 90 percent of the soldiers who should have been discharged in 39 or 40 years remained in the army, which also led to a high proportion of non-commissioned officers in the army (relative to peacetime, of course). ), a large part of the army's salary expenditure is increased.

In order to retain veterans with combat effectiveness and good military qualities, and to maintain the effective combat effectiveness of the grassroots units of the army, Lin Jun does not care about letting them change from receiving allowances to receiving salaries, which is worth it -- compared with the money spent on equipment production, the financial pressure of military salaries and allowances is only a small meaning (the whole world is similar, except for the special case of American GIs, of course). ）。

Recruits need sufficient training to become relatively qualified soldiers, and to become a qualified soldier they have to go through the test of war, and it is not possible to train a young man with enthusiasm to become a qualified soldier in a moment, and Lin Jun wants to cheer for the quality of the soldiers -- the results achieved in the mass national defense work over the years are obvious, don't look at the "Soviet Union in history" was completely passive at the beginning of the war, and the quality of the soldiers seemed to be a mess, but that was when it was for Germany, Compared with other Western countries, there are still certain advantages (don't think that the Soviets had a low level of education at that time, the tenth grade is equivalent to the current high school graduation, which is still compulsory education!). More importantly, most of the recruits are not "pure civilians" who have no military literacy.

There are many college students in the Americans, and the British and French are "highly qualified", and the soldiers with a high degree of differentiation are good to train, and at least they have obvious advantages in mastering technology and equipment, but that also requires time and energy -- Britain and the United States have time, but poor French people don't have time, even if the recruits are all doctors, it is useless, because in the face of the German army, it will not give you time. Recruits who are literate and have no military background are nothing, and when the country has to send recruits to the front and have no choice (what, after training, go to the front?). It's a pity that college students can't be used as elementary school students? Use a steam engine to crack nuts? I'm sorry, then the country will be finished, there is no need. Bullets don't go around the bend because of your diploma.

The Soviet Union has done a very good job, whether it is in the cities or in the countryside, there are organizations to carry out universal military training for working people, for example, since 1927, the Soviet Union has had a national "Soviet Association for the Promotion of National Defense and Aviation Chemical Construction".

At the end of the thirties, all levels of government in the USSR (township and above, the Soviet Union also had the "township" as an administrative level unit. It has been carrying out a system of assessment of national defense badges such as "Labor and Defense", "Voroshinov Shooter" and "Health for the State", with specific standards, and basically a national movement.

Before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the "Soviet Association for the Promotion of Defense and Aviation Chemical Construction" alone had more than 156,000 groups, 26,680 squads, and 3,500 squadrons throughout the country. More than 8,000 young people have been trained at the aero club, and more than 30,000 have learned how to fly ******. Last year, the National Defense Committee also made a decision to introduce compulsory military training for all Soviet citizens between the ages of 16 and 50, and this has been going on for more than half a year, and the defense groups have already trained a large number of skiers, shooters, snipers, motorcyclists, drivers, and nurses for the army in advance -- the recruits recruited at the beginning of this year are not "recruit eggs" who have never even touched a gun and do not even understand basic military attempts.

The development of real mass national defense work provided the Soviet Union with tens of millions of reserve soldiers who could be called up at any time and already had a certain degree of military literacy and professional skills without affecting production.

Now that the young men have left the factories, the women comrades have become the main force in many factories and mines, and the comrades are working selflessly, and even the comrades who have retired and are too old to take part in farm work have spontaneously organized themselves to do what they can for the front - the old ladies have taken out their housekeeping skills in making boots, socks, and clothes, while the old men and women comrades have taken over all the work that the young men can replace in driving tractors, watering the fields, and cleaning the city.

City dwellers and farm members were enthusiastically donating their savings and valuables to the Soviets, and comrades took out whatever was needed at the front, and government offices at all levels had departments for receiving, counting, and diverting donated materials and money -- cash, state bonds, valuables, winter clothing, food, everything!

Don't look at the variety of donations, that can reduce the pressure on military logistics production - although it is summer, but the summer in the Soviet Union is not the scorching heat of the equator, and besides, the severe cold will soon return: Lin Jun knows that in just one week, in Moscow alone, Muscovites donated more than 100,000 pieces of bare fur coats!

Lin Jun took out the things at home and donated them - all the savings of the couple were astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people, if it weren't for the uselessness of some things, he would have donated the war knives and Picasso paintings in his collection. He would even think: If my collection were good in the United States, it could be exchanged for dollars or gold bars, and that would be a whole lot of military supplies.

In the atmosphere of national donations, Lin Jun no longer has the Yaxing that collects and collects everywhere, and the "logistics manager" deserves that the valuable jewelry he sends to his wife is not as important as a box of canned meat or a box of bullets.

All the other high-level cadres are the same as Lin Jun, and none of them are hiding -- Comrade Stalin and the deputy commander-in-chief have turned out their old family backgrounds, and no matter how stingy they are, they will make mistakes to the letter! Like Voroshinov, he donated more than Lin Jun, who made his family have a solid foundation?

Of course, Lin Jun would not propose that his wife donate her watch, although the Patek Philippe bought in London can be exchanged for a British tank, but it must also be exchanged, not to mention that Lin Jun did not plan to pay for war materials at all, and Vukinskaya has always worn that famous watch, because it is a watch that is only worth a time, do you have to spend money to buy another one?

Lin Jun didn't plan to pay, but sometimes it was inevitable to pay a little - don't think that a bunch of rubles are useless in the hands of the state, and they can't be changed into materials, the astronomical donation of domestic cash is of great significance to the economic operation of the whole country (not to mention the complicated, the simplest and most basic point: with rubles in hand, Lin Jun can buy things, and if he has no money, he will not buy them, and this purchasing power is in the hands of the state, which can be given to the front line, and the same materials are used more for the war. ）。 (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
