Chapter 1042: The army rushes to the ferry
In addition to nylon, the horse team also brought a large amount of ordinary hemp rope, and several senior villagers from the blacksmith village began to serve as experts, helping to guide Anatoly and Little Volmansky.
On the other hand, the army was in full operation on the afternoon of the 17th, and it was in the afternoon that the paratrooper brigade managed to reach the Missy crossing. This was followed by the 2nd Regiment of the 284th Division, and the reconnaissance battalion of Balzen.
The soldiers almost always marched on foot, with a large amount of equipment first pulled by horse-drawn carts, and after the roads were muddy, the supplies were carried by manpower. The army also drove fifty donkeys, which were mainly used to transport grain.
At the meeting, a set of options was also made for logistical issues. The program was developed in accordance with the previous battles, so the biscuit powder became the standard ration for the soldiers. Just because of the need to save flour, a large number of fresh potatoes are also used as an important food.
After the potato harvest, Yang Mingzhi also had the idea of separating the potato starch and mixing it with flour as a high-energy food with a very high carbohydrate content, or mixing it with alum, a surplus product of mining, to make potato flour that the Russians had never seen before.
These ideas can't be realized in a short time, so it's better to eat baked potatoes honestly.
He did not personally lead the large army to arrive at the Missy ferry as soon as possible, he deliberately left late, because a small matter still had to be dealt with.
That kid named Liu Hongxiu is really a genius!
According to the plan, she will be trained to be a good telegraph operator, and use her unique advantage of being able to speak Chinese, and she will be able to perform super-encrypted plain language communications. Yang Mingzhi estimated that the child could basically go to work in a month, and the reality was beyond his imagination, in just five days, through diligent study, the child was already able to translate the code directly......
This surprised Yang Mingzhi very much, so before leaving, the kid also arranged a task - to stay in the telegraph room at all times, and to communicate with the operation command at any time.
Paying so much attention made Liu Hongxiu very nervous. "Comrade Commander, I'm still a beginner, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."
Yang Mingzhi doesn't talk nonsense, he doesn't know if this kid understands what a phone call is, anyway, the task given to Liu Hongxiu is very similar to "keeping the phone". After all, in a sense, the current radio box that relies on people on their backs is simply a combination of telegraph and mobile phone.
This girl's matter is solved, and there are two more urgent problems to be solved.
One is star fruit and the other is Natasha.
Star fruit's job is to stay in the Blacksmith Village Hospital, and stick to Laslyujing, Hungerberg and others. If there is a battle, there will be casualties, and if a good doctor is put on the battlefield, if there is a mistake, the gain will outweigh the loss. Therefore, the level of medical skills of the more than 100 young nurses who went with the army can be said to be quite inferior in peacetime, and they can only perform simple surgical operations, violently take out bullets and sew up wounds like sewing clothes.
Because, according to the previous battle statistics, according to the survivor theory, the survivors were basically shot in the limbs, especially in the arms. The condition of such wounded is not bad, and they do not need much time-consuming care, nor do they have the crime of putting the best doctors in the war zone.
Star fruit pinched her face that had just been smacked, and reluctantly looked at her husband's back in a military uniform and gradually moving away, what else could she do? What wife doesn't feel sorry for her husband? What's more, this time it was the first time that the troops crossed the Dnieper!
She knew that for the Slavic peoples, the Dnieper was like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River of the Chinese, which was their mother river! This "mother" has a good temper at the moment, and the water is not happy, but the river is too wide, even wider than the Heilongjiang River!
So, how could she not worry, it was on the riverbank that she found him back then! The husband was almost drowned.
But she could do nothing but pray in her heart for her husband, hoping that he and the soldiers who went out on the expedition would be safe and sound. In this general hospital by yourself, it is better not to be busy with work.
Compared with the worry and reluctance of star fruit, Natasha can be described as full of fighting spirit.
In the partisan republics, everyone knows about Comrade Spyroskina, who is especially known as a national hero among Belarusians, and whose deeds have become important propaganda materials since the establishment of the newspapers of the partisan republics, and even a column reserved for her.
Natasha has received a lot of honors, and the whole person is inevitably a little fluttery. At this time, there is only one person who can warn her to be humble at a critical moment - this is Yang Mingzhi, who is regarded by her as her own uncle, respected chief, and life-saving benefactor.
Star fruit was separated from the sniper group, and Igor became Natasha's full-time observer, as well as reliable logistics. This operation is another important opportunity for Natasha to brush up on her experience, as she wipes a new, concocted modified version of the SVT40, and hundreds of matching bullets, which are already shrouded in murderous energy.
Because the large army set off first, Yang Mingzhi's "front-line command" had to catch up with them quickly. Therefore, he and the more than 30 guards under his command simply chased after him in jeep trucks.
Yang Mingzhi drove the car himself, the co-pilot was Abram, and the back seat was naturally Natasha and Igor. To make the general drive himself, this is a high standard, Natasha knows very well the weight of this friendship, and her hands holding the barrel of the gun are tighter.
Compared with the actions of the army, the efficiency of the people is much more slow. The collective farm workers, whose greatest task was to take care of the farmland, had to put aside their farm work for a while when a new battle broke out.
These days were supposed to be the days of planting in the potato fields, so the 5,000 men had to return to their production teams to carry out the more intense and slower sowing work after the delivery of the goods.
Ordering peasants to perform forced labor when the farm was busy was a very big blow to agriculture in ancient times. Even the current guerrilla republics are carrying out Stalin's agrarian policy. This combat operation has affected the development of agriculture, and what the army can do is to minimize the negative impact as much as possible.
Fortunately, the task of these 5,000 people was to put the supplies they carried on the right side of the river bank of the Missy Ferry on the 17th, and then they could go home.
Yang Mingzhi quickly went hand in hand with these people's teams, driving on roads that were not wide and muddy, and he had to consider the obstacles of the crowd, and the speed of the car was not fast. He never worries about the speed being too slow, he is very worried about the wheels getting stuck in the mud.
The road leading to the Missy Ferry is a dirt road that has never been built! It was this dirt road that Anatoly had taken before, and the rain had wet the land, and after thousands of people trampled it, it was already a mud swamp.
Yang Mingzhi tried to drive through, but after a while, the wheels were stuck in the mud.
"Hell! Now we're on foot! "He slammed the steering wheel!
Abram suggested, "Sir, maybe we can try to push the cart!" ”
"No need! In front of us is the riverside wetland, which is even more muddy! It's really strange, why is the land in that part of the Missy Ferry relatively dry? Is it just because it's higher and there's a small grove? ”
