Chapter 992: Digging Potatoes (3)

Yang Mingzhi did not plan to use the loudspeaker to declare to the whole village that the commander of the group army would dig the ground himself, this is too public!

I can't be regarded as a person who is happy with my achievements, but it is still necessary to vigorously publicize the matter of digging potatoes in person. Without working to write a manuscript for the propaganda department, he deliberately led his guards, lined up in line, carried a shovel like a gun, and strode on the dirt road leading to the canteen.

There was a short distance between the soldier's quarters and the collective farm's dwellings, and the military canteen was naturally not open to the public, so he could be seen swaggering through the city, that is, a large number of soldiers.

Even if you have to go to the field in the morning, the early morning training of the soldiers is indispensable. Yang Mingzhi's time card was very good, when the majority of soldiers finished running and washing, and went to the canteen to pick up the morning, they happened to see such a team - dozens of soldiers dressed like farmers, under the leadership of one person, neatly walked into the door of the canteen.

There are many military canteens in the blacksmith village, and different units have fixed canteens, and each canteen has a fixed number of cooks. This measure makes the logistics very efficient when it comes to the issue of feeding the servicemen.

Yang Mingzhi came to this canteen very purposefully, because the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment regularly ate here every day.

So, when Lavrenty and Evgeny led the troops to dinner, they saw such a team firsthand.

At this moment, the sun was very bright, and the temperature was quite soft, and I saw those people, they all showed their white arms, but the arm of the leader of the team was brown and yellow.

Without thinking about it, they already understood.

"It's terrible! What does the commander think? They come here for breakfast? Why is there no notification at all? Lavrenti couldn't help but get nervous.

Evgeny closed his eyes and thought for a while, and speculated: "Look at their dress, it seems that the commander is planning to go down to the field to dig potatoes himself!" Moreover, he personally went to our canteen to eat, and after a while, he personally led us to dig the ground! ”

This explanation made Lavrenti very excited, because the second regiment has a military spirit! With that company, Ravlianj was transferred to the management of the Chinese from across the Amur River to make new weapons. At first he was disdainful, but with the success of the weapon, his attitude instantly changed to admiration.

The Far Eastern infantry regiment was transferred to Belarus and expanded into the 284th Infantry Division, and the Chinese Berekov became a battalion commander and himself was promoted to company commander. Recalling his eventful years, that person became the commander of the group army by relying on his military exploits from a foreigner, and he was also promoted from a grassroots soldier to a regimental commander.

The current 2nd Regiment of the 284th Guards Infantry Division, which went from an ordinary infantry company to 20 months, has today, and the current commander of the group army is the one who gave the soul of the army!

Ravliandi suppressed his agitation and shouted at the marching column: "Attention comrades! The commander of the army group was in the cafeteria, everyone raised their chests and forward! ”

……

Yang Mingzhi dressed like a peasant, and his speech and style seemed to be more meritocratous. He even chatted with the middle-aged woman who was cooking for a while before leaving with a lunch box containing boiled potatoes.

According to common sense, he should eat bread and milk for this meal, and he put on a pro-people style to prevaricate the past. This wasn't really a show, all he had in mind was ending breakfast as quickly as possible.

Three pieces of boiled potatoes, each sprinkled with some salt, Yang Mingzhi prepared his own utensils, and with an order, the guards finally swallowed their saliva and began to eat.

Yang Mingzhi pretended to be elegant, cut the whole potato into small pieces, and then put it in his mouth with chopsticks.

Nowadays, there are no soldiers who are less common to chopsticks, in fact, because of the upward and downward effects, many soldiers have begun to imitate. In fact, some people are not imitating, because the seized tableware is really limited, it is rude to eat with your hands, and you may eat bad stomach, and it is a way to cut two branches with a knife as tableware.

It was precisely because of Yang Mingzhi's elegant fiddling with two wooden sticks that he was immediately targeted by two people.

At this moment, the soldiers entered the canteen one after another, and they lined up in many long lines to receive their breakfast in the huge wooden building.

The two uninvited guests quickly walked to Yang Mingzhi's place.

Evgeny and Ravlenji couldn't hide the excitement on their faces, but Yang Mingzhi didn't think so, he waved his hand and ordered: "Sit down." ”

The two sat down excitedly, they behaved like two excited children, and without working hard for the two of them to speak, Yang Mingzhi spoke first: "Now, you stay calm!" I think you're very curious, why is the chief dressed like this, and carrying a shovel? Yes, I'm here to participate in the digging of potatoes, so I'll go to the military reclamation field that your regiment is responsible for! ”

"That's a good thing!" Rav slapped the table.

"You sit down for me!" Yang Mingzhi ordered solemnly, "This is the canteen, give me an honest meal." ”

After he sat down, Yang Mingzhi put away the serious set and showed a smile: "Okay!" I can understand that you are happy in your hearts, because I am happy too! You are my elite troops, I want to rest for more than a month, and the strength has recovered a lot! Both of you attended the meeting, and the order for military action will be given at any time from your superiors, and at that time, the second regiment must go into battle!

So, how is the recovery of the 2nd Regiment, I don't bother to read the briefings you regularly write to the command. I personally integrate with you and make an overall assessment of the 2nd Regiment through this potato digging operation! ”

Suddenly, the burden fell on the shoulders of the two.

It is true that the commander is involved in the excavation to help, and it is also true that the soldiers take this opportunity to evaluate the troops, and the soldiers must ensure that they dig the ground meticulously! Can they? Absolutely!

The two men stood up almost at the same time, their heads held high, making their assurances.

Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction, and said meaningfully: "It depends on your performance!" You'd better have a meeting with the platoon commanders before digging the ground. This time, there will be propagandists to observe, and someone will write a special report on this, which is related to the honor of the second regiment! ”

The pressure is even greater, and there are still journalists? Evgeny and Lavrenty knew about the creation of a newspaper called Novgomel Times, which was an upgraded version of the previous propaganda organization. Because of the limited amount of paper, it was not possible to print newspapers on a large scale to everyone. So they smeared new newspapers every day on several billboards in the barracks.

There are not many articles in the newspaper, and it is better not to repeat them every day. It was written about the war situation, the decrees of the guerrilla republics, and more pages were devoted to the propaganda of heroic figures. For example, the battle that began at the end of April is over, and there is another group of combat heroes in the battle. These days they are the protagonists of the newspapers!

It's a pity that these heroes basically came from reconnaissance battalions and paratroopers, and even one day the newspaper even opened a column for female soldiers.

This has long been very unpleasant for the second regiment, which is the absolute main force. Lavrenti and Evgeny, eager for honor, immediately began to dig potatoes, which is no less significant than a battle! It has to be a big success!
