Yang Mingzhi can't enjoy a three-day vacation like those soldiers who have won battles, and he still has a lot of official duties to do, but these official duties are much more comfortable than the battlefield life where he is always worried about his life.

What is the situation on the Kharkov front? Can the Soviets continue to win? Telegrams sent to the command of the Front and the command of the partisan movement, did they all receive it?

In fact, from the 23rd to the 25th, the guerrilla republic did not receive any telegrams from its superiors.

People like Yevlov, he didn't care. And Salinchkin, he is a high-ranking officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he has the right to send private telegrams to his superiors, that is, Beria, through the private band, as for whether he sent what he sent, Yang Mingzhi does not know, and what kind of feedback he received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yang Mingzhi also does not know. What's more, the Salinchin with a shiny head on his head, even if he got the telegram from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he kept his mouth shut according to the rules of secrecy!

Since you can't receive a telegram from your superiors, you will default to the fact that there is no telegram at all.

As for the battle situation on the front line, after all, the overall trend of history will not change 180 degrees because of the appearance of one person, this is absolutely impossible!

Yang Mingzhi always believed that the Soviet army was going to lose this battle, but it was just a matter of whether the defeat was miserable. If history were still like the development of that plane, it would not be a bad thing for the Soviet Union and even for the anti-fascist war in the world.

The Germans will take advantage of this defeat of the Soviet army, and eventually they will have a bloody battle in the Don River valley, in the Volga River valley, and especially in Stalingrad, the most important transport hub of South Russia.

Stalingrad was too far away, and besides, before the Soviet counteroffensive on all fronts, the guerrilla republics could only rely on themselves, at most receiving pitiful airdrop support from their superiors.

From food to ammunition, all this needs to be produced by all the military and civilians of the guerrilla republic, and in the three days when the troops are resting, tens of thousands of villagers are still working hard to produce.

More than 20,000 soldiers and civilians were directly mobilized in the great battle of the 63rd Group Army, and one after another combat heroes and labor heroes were born during the operation.

Specialized departments were responsible for the detailed statistics of the results of the war, the counting and sorting of the booty, the interrogation and settlement of prisoners of war, the settlement of soldiers and civilians in the guerrilla brigades, and the disposal of large quantities of horses.

At this moment, Yang Mingzhi also had to sigh: "The guerrilla republic is really like a country operating, and all departments that should exist exist, so that each department performs its own duties, and the work that was originally unprecedentedly complicated is no longer difficult to do!" ”

Therefore, Yang Mingzhi's official duties have basically become a daily stay at the headquarters, to read all kinds of reporting documents that have been approved by Yevlov or Salinchkin in the past few days. The documents were almost all handwritten, because there was only one printing press, and it was still specialized in printing newspapers.

Not everyone can write a good hand, many of these Russian documents are dazzling circles, Yang Mingzhi estimated, maybe Yevlov can't understand what these documents record in a short time!

Yang Mingzhi read some of them, and among the documents he flipped through, the dozen or so reports on the potato harvest were the most interesting to him.

In any country, in any region, as long as there are people living, food is the most important.

There is a large amount of farmland just around the blacksmith village, and the largest area of newly cultivated land this year is the largest. They are raw fields, and the fertility of the land is not satisfactory, but Yang Mingzhi believes that when the "black ammonia" rich in potash and nitrogen fertilizer, which is made from peat as a raw material, is poured into the field, the fertility of the land will change qualitatively, and the agricultural output will also create miracles.

According to the different sowing times, the farmland in different regions has ushered in the harvest season, and these documents record the harvest of potatoes in these days.

The harvest of potatoes is gratifying, presumably because these fields are harvested by fertilisers during the critical period of potato growth.

Yang Mingzhi briefly summarized the various data of more than a dozen documents, and after a little calculation, he got amazing results.

"It's wonderful! The grain harvest must be enough for 50,000 people to eat for three months! ”

His exclamation also drew the attention of the general staff who remained at the headquarters, these staff officers, because of the huge gap in rank, would not have anything to do to talk to their commander. Only people who know the commander's temper very well, such as Solkina and others, who are on duty at the headquarters in their spare time, can continue to chat with him while ordering tea and pouring water.

What excites the Commander? She carried a pot of boiled black tea and over, filling the cup of black pottery water that was as good as it was drinking.

She sneered and asked, "Comrade Commander, what makes you so excited?" ”

"It's a potato!" Yang Mingzhi smiled at the woman.

Yang Mingzhi really likes this Solkina, and even more likes the female soldiers in the communication class of the headquarters. He was also very satisfied with his choice at that time, and he pulled the four female soldiers he met to the headquarters, and finally, these girls lived up to expectations and became good communication soldiers.

Yang Mingzhi was not only satisfied with these girls, but also grateful. They did not despise Peria because of her young age, nor were they jealous of her excessive intelligence.

Besides, in this operation, the signal corps also made great achievements, and the close communication between the front line and the rear is the credit of these people.

Still unclear about what the potato was particularly pleased about, Solkina continued: "What makes you happy must be a good thing. Potatoes, which are the favorite of our Belarusians, I have also heard that there has been another bumper harvest recently, and I think that there will be no shortage of food in the future. ”

"Of course! Do you know? Trimester! The newly harvested potatoes have enough for us to eat for three months. It's the warmest time, and we still have one more crop to plant before winter, so I can't predict the future of food reserves very well. But one thing is certain: by the end of the winter, our food reserves will be much higher than previously anticipated. ”

"That's a good thing! Comrade Commander, all this is your credit! ”

"Me?" Yang Mingzhi stared at this slim woman, she hooked her head and looked shy.

At this time, the atmosphere was a little delicate, Yang Mingzhi did not equip himself with any secretaries, and some of the work he started was randomly assigned to the staff officers. At this moment, this Solkina girl is like a well-informed female secretary!

Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "Forget it!" I only made a small contribution. ”

"No!" Sorkina hurriedly scrambled: "You have made a great contribution!" It's not just life, it's the war! Now everyone knows that we have a big win! Aren't the spoils of war being displayed to the people? It's spectacular! ”

Yang Mingzhi knew very well what the spoils of war she were talking about, and from the expression of this female soldier, he could also infer the attitude of the residents of the entire guerrilla republic.

But war is war, and Yang Mingzhi doesn't want to shy away from bad facts just because he won.

"Sorkina, maybe I made the right choice at that time, and I brought you and the three female soldiers here. Otherwise, you will all be engaged in battle as combat infantry, and finally, with your spear-mounted rifles, fight with the enemy's bayonets! You know, in this operation, the casualties of the third regiment were very huge, and it was very much more than the young female soldier girl who died like this. ”

Sorkina was in the communications room, and she knew about the telegrams from the front before the deputy commander. Thinking of the tragic report of the Third Regiment, she still had palpitations.

She was very afraid of death, because she didn't want to die because she was afraid of death, and she tried her best to survive in the labor camp, and it was also difficult to survive in the early days after the outbreak of the war.

She had always regarded the commander as a great benefactor, however, some of those former comrades-in-arms had died, and a strange sense of guilt also floated in her heart.

Yang Mingzhi didn't plan to chat with her, snapped his fingers, and said, "You continue to work!" Go clean the floor, and if you're really bored, go over the telegram. ”
