Chapter 664: The Paratroopers Assemble

Yang Mingzhi estimated that from March 26, Balzen's troops began to exchange fire with the German army, and on the 29th he began to take the initiative to attack, and on the 30th the attack was even more frenzied. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is only an hour left until April 1, which is April Fool's Day, and it is a pity that neither Soviet nor German armies will play a joke on each other.

In five days, a total of 1,500 troops were dispatched, and more than 100 wounded were transported back, while half of the remaining troops were lost. That's a huge loss!

It was based on this reality that Yang Mingzhi in the division headquarters said to everyone: "Now Balzen's troops are short of supplies, and our convoy must bring a lot of food in addition to reinforcements!" And plenty of pure drinking water! Doctors and nurses from the Blacksmith Village Hospital must also be involved. ”

"Yes, I understand what you mean, but you said food, it's almost eleven o'clock now, you mean to let the canteen economy fire and cook?" Yevlov asked.

"Yes, cook now. And our fighters are now very weak, they need a lot of glucose and a lot of protein. ”

"Wait! What did you say? What's that vocabulary? Yevlov asked.

Co-author: This man doesn't know what the human body needs most? Yang Mingzhi estimated that Yevlov did not know these technical words. "Division commander, that is, our fighters need to eat bread and meat! It's best to still have a can full of grease. ”

"Oh! You mean this! Hahaha, the last thing we lack right now is flour and canned meat. But it's too late for us to bake bread now! The flour has just arrived, and we were eating potatoes before that, and we are eating this for dinner today. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Yes, it's true that there is not enough time to bake bread, but we can make cakes!" Or let the cafeteria aunts start making noodles immediately, in fact, just rough flour. It takes hours to bake bread, but it only takes a few minutes to bake it into pancakes, not to mention the cooking oil! ”

Yevlov and Yerentina knew what he was talking about, and it was clearly a delicacy from the East. It's really delicious, and it was originally made on a small scale in the canteen when there was still plenty of flour. It is often a frying pan smeared with shelf-stable butter and poured with batter, which can be quickly made into oil cakes, which is indeed more than ten times faster than baking a large lieba.

It's a pity that, according to Maozi's concept, this kind of food is classified as a kind of snack and a snack. They still have a soft spot for the sour, shelf-stable, and hard-like wooden blocks after drying.

Yerentina said with satisfaction: "This is indeed possible, but unfortunately we don't have many pans." ”

"That's okay too." Yevlov found it interesting and immediately interjected: "We still have a lot of potatoes, just bring them with you." The warriors had been fighting for too long, and now they were simply hungry, waiting for the whole army of Homnich to bake potatoes. Or maybe we will not have a problem with the flour, and then the soldiers will use their helmets as pots and cook porridge without any problems. ”

What he said is really good, Lao Maozi is never picky when it comes to eating. Yang Mingzhi couldn't help worrying that if the soldiers encountered turtledoves on the way back, they would shoot without hesitation, and then roast the bird meat, and if they caught the marmot, it would be even more delicious.

"Okay, okay, that's it for food." Yang Mingzhi said: "All the chefs who can be mobilized get up immediately and start spreading cakes immediately. Potatoes were eaten for a thousand people a day, that is, one ton, and canned beef was a thousand tons, and the paratrooper brethren had to carry them. As for drinking water, the paratroopers try to bring as many water bottles as possible and fill them with clean water. Oh a lot, and there is also black tea powder and white sugar powder, which is an artifact to replenish physical strength. ”

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Yevlov immediately stood up: "That's it, I now give the order to get all the cooks up and make as many pancakes as possible before leaving." ”

After that, he called a group of guards to the office of the division headquarters, and considering that there were a lot of orders, these heralds had to quickly pass the orders in place.

In addition to the canteens to be fired, hospitals will also be mobilized, resting truck drivers will quickly drive to the entrance of the division to assemble and stand by, and warehouses will have to take out some of the goods that have just been piled up.

……

A dozen heralds were already carrying Yevlov's verbal orders, each rushing to those departments. For a while, the blacksmith village, which should have fallen into silence, was only the roar of the arsenal machines, and now a large number of buildings were lit up. Oil lamps or candles are lit, and in the faint light there are various figures in a hurry.

Tepunov received the order, and he quickly returned to the paratrooper station and woke up the soldiers who had been sleeping for three hours.

Suddenly, more than a thousand soldiers, as they usually trained, got dressed and left the barracks with their guns in just three minutes.

The brigade consisted of four main battalions, as well as a few auxiliary components. The soldiers assembled according to the original formation, although many of them were still in the various camps in the forest and had not yet returned to the group, the assembly of more than 1,000 people was quite spectacular.

There were not many people left behind in the blacksmith village, and the noise caused by the gathering of paratroopers directly affected everyone, and everyone knew that there was action again.

Under the moonlight and the stars, almost the entire blacksmith village was mobilized.

Rygushkov of the arsenal got up, and Yang Mingzhi knew that he had begun to produce equipment for fertilizer plants. At present, due to the war, the manufacture of fertilizer equipment has temporarily given way to munitions, and a large amount of ammunition has been produced in recent days.

He had just learned about supporting the front-line troops, and Yang Mingzhi had only one request, that is, to let him provide a large number of RPG warheads, at least fifty. This is no problem at all, in addition to this, there are some more boxed grenades ready to be shipped out of storage.

The arsenal is in full swing to prepare ammunition, the chimney of the canteen is also emitting oil smoke, and doctors and nurses are actively packing gauze and medicines......

When Tepnov saw that his men had been assembled, he alternately pointed in the direction of the canteen, the arsenal and the warehouse, and said: "Comrades! You can't get a good night's sleep tonight, because the first task of the 233 Brigade of our Airborne Forces is already in front of us. Look at our compatriots, who are actively preparing supplies, and in a few hours we will be heading north with them to reinforce our comrades on the front lines.

You must understand that they have just been attacked by a German division! Although we are only supporting them this time, and the mission is to bring them back, it doesn't sound like there is any danger. This is wrong! ”

With his hands behind his back, Tepunov walked around in front of the warriors with his head held high, and he raised his voice.

"Our comrades-in-arms have experienced extremely tragic battles, and they are only a few hundred left, but the Germans may pursue them relentlessly, and we may have to fight the Germans on this trip!" This was already the most crucial part, and Tepunov could see the restlessness in the hearts of the fighters, whose bodies that should have been straight as loose were shaking unconsciously.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "Comrades, I know what you think in your hearts. Since the establishment of the Airborne Forces in the thirties, a unit like ours has never actually fought before the war, and only a small number of troops of the Second Army of the Airborne Forces have participated in actual combat so far! So, comrades! You are very fortunate that this is the first time you have been in combat since you entered service! In the past, we have had too many actual combat exercises! But you have never killed a single Nazi, and if we had fought with the enemy in this battle, you would all have killed the enemy's soldiers, and the 233rd Brigade would have truly had a military spirit. Comrades, are you happy? ”
