The rain continued unabated, even in mid-May, and the temperature was so low that when you spoke in the morning, you could see the white fog.

On May 15, no order was received from the higher authorities in the early morning of that day, not only did the telegraph room of the command headquarters not receive it, but the Novgomel radio station only unilaterally broadcast to the outside world as usual. In this way, it can be assured that the communication equipment has not been affected by the rain, and the reason why the order has not been received is that the higher authorities have not sent the order at all.

For five days, it was as if the superiors had disappeared, and if they were doing radio silence for the sake of secrecy, the secrecy was too tight.

Yang Mingzhi didn't know how long he would have to wait, let alone the timing of the Kharkov offensive in this plane.

This anxious scene reminded him of his teenage years. In that plane, the college entrance examination is a hurdle that students must pass. At that time, the college entrance examination was still filled in first and then the scores were released, and the time for the score line of the school to be reported was not fixed. It's the hardest day before the cut-off.

Looking forward to its arrival, but afraid that I can't accept the fact that it is coming.

On this day, Yang Mingzhi came to the headquarters as usual and continued to sit here.

Compared to the previous two days, the rain today is significantly lighter, the air is moist, and the fine raindrops moisten the whole land like rain and mist.

There are no dry areas on the flat ground, except for those roads in the barracks and residential areas, which are barely smooth after being soaked by rainwater because they are deliberately compacted and paved with cinders.

The weather was still not suitable for military training, and the soldiers stayed in the dormitories and repeated the work of dismantling and reassembling to pass the time.

There are also veterans who have been through many battles and know best that rest time is not easy to come by. This kind of person is particularly active when eating, and after eating, he runs back to the dormitory and sleeps wrapped in a blanket. This is not a sign of laziness, the veteran bluntly prides himself on growing fat, and only in this way can he store enough fat for the next expedition.

The rain became lighter and lighter, and in the afternoon the rain gradually stopped, and the weather turned cloudy, and in the evening there was a sunset in the west.

The sun has set, and this sunset is indeed the first ray of sunshine in a few days!

After a rain, many people still fell ill, but fortunately, it was not as serious as it was half a month ago. One reason is that after the villagers' food rations have improved, their physical fitness has improved as a whole, and their resistance has also improved.

It is really a sick patient, and the method of boiling radish soup instead of medicine used by star fruit really has a certain effect. This surprised Yang Mingzhi very much, but during this time, his wife had to stay in the hospital all night to take care of patients.

The day seemed to be the same as usual, the only difference was that in the evening, after the rain had completely stopped, all the soldiers who had been resting for several days came out to exercise.

The rallying call of the various units suddenly sounded, which directly interrupted the chatter of the senior officers of the command.

"The rain has stopped, and it's time for the dormant guys to come out and breathe!" Yevlov stood up lazily, he had been arguing with the old fellow all afternoon, and it was time to get up and rub his numb ass.

During this period, Sorkina also served as an orderly, ordering tea and pouring water for the generals who were chatting and drinking. She was not only busy with her work, but also listened carefully to what the chief had to say.

Because she was present, Yang Mingzhi also asked about Liu Hongxiu's situation by the way. Solkina replied simply: "Peria has been studying in the dormitory for the past few days, and she will try to memorize all the codebooks in a short time." ”

In this way, the small talk also has more talk about Liu Hongxiu, a child.

Yevlov twisted his old waist and asked, "Berekov, you can also go out for a walk." For example, a word for the soldiers. ”

Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to use dirty leather shoes, after all, my wife is busy now, and she doesn't have time to help me wipe them." ”

"You're kidding! I know your thoughts, you are worried that as soon as you leave, the order from your superiors will be conveyed. ”

"Hey! You guessed it! Yang Mingzhi stood up violently, stretched his arms and sighed: "Who can say this kind of thing?" Sometimes we just let our guard down and the message comes! As a commander, I am obliged to receive orders from my superiors at the first opportunity! I see, I'm in this headquarters office tonight, using a few wooden stools to make a bed, and I'm just going to sleep. ”

Yevlov took his words as a joke, and he did not break his promise. In the lounge next to the headquarters office, Yang Mingzhi ordered the bed to be made temporarily, and he was ready to stay up late with practical actions.

Why did he question this, this is metaphysics.

Yang Mingzhi estimated that if the time dragged on any longer, the Kharkov offensive campaign would be won't be fought, and the battle would either not be fought or would be fought in the next few days! And before the battle, the 63 Army will definitely receive an order!

For dinner, he also nibbled on some potatoes and drank some catfish and mushroom soup at the headquarters, which was the same as that of ordinary soldiers. He was so busy with his mind that not only did he eat a modest dinner, but he also ate so little that the sausages enjoyed by the senior officers were distributed to the girls on duty in the telegraph room as soon as he was pleased, with the following sentence: "You must be vigilant at any time from your superiors, and these sausages should be treated." ”

The commander's actions illustrate a very simple situation, and the situation on the battlefield is indeed surging under the calm of the guerrilla republic. Yevlov and Fomin were also keenly aware of a hint of murder in the air, so the men began to talk nonsense after dinner.

It's no longer about women and reminiscings, it's all about war.

Everyone talked about the current Soviet-German war, and then talked about Western Europe, and then to the Far East and China, and finally to the Pacific. The world war broke out in two vast theaters, one in all of Europe and the surrounding region, and one in the far reaches of East Asia and the vast Pacific Ocean.

Yang Mingzhi is still very clear about the history of the Pacific War. This month, the United States and Japan should have launched the Battle of the Coral Sea, and no matter what the outcome of the battle is, it cannot change the final fact that the United States defeated Japan with 137 million citizens through extremely large national strength and advanced science and technology.

The defeat of Japan and Germany was inevitable, but in this war, a large number of coincidences will lead to a large number of unpredictable results.

Yang Mingzhi chatted with them too happily, and simply said: "Soon, the United States will have a strategic decisive battle with Japan, and the Japanese Navy will suffer a huge setback in this battle." ”

"Oh? So this is still your prophecy? Fuming's tone was teasing, and his mind was not ambiguous, and he firmly remembered Yang Mingzhi's words.

Yang Mingzhi kept an eye on it, he suddenly realized that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Their decisive battle is inevitable, just like we also have to find the main force of the German army for a decisive battle." Guerrilla warfare can only contain the enemy in the rear, and it is like countless mosquitoes, sucking blood little by little, and then spreading diseases. What can completely defeat the enemy is a strategic decisive battle between the main forces.

So what we can do is to wreak havoc as much as possible in the enemy-occupied areas. We have been bleeding the enemy for a long time, and in the end, when a strategic decisive battle occurs, the main force of our army will face a sick seedling, and this is the greatest contribution we can make to this war. ”

Yang Mingzhi changed the subject and began to talk about guerrilla warfare again. He said some summing up remarks, and even criticized the guerrilla movement, but Fuming did not dare to slack off, and quickly took out his notebook to record it......
