In the past few days of rest, there is no doubt that Fuming and his subordinates are the busiest. In the past, the political commissars at the grassroots level of the army were crucial to maintaining military discipline. However, the high consciousness of these political commissars makes them always take the lead, and they sacrifice too much. Over the past year, the heavy burden of maintaining discipline in grassroots units has fallen on platoon commanders, company commanders, and other grassroots officers.

The end of the great battle with the Romanian army and the great victory of the troops naturally exposed many problems in addition to the victory.

The biggest problem is precisely the decline in military discipline.

Especially after the destruction of Slavzich, some fighters were still fighting the enemy, and some began to collect loot and put it in their pockets. According to the pre-war regulations, soldiers were forbidden to take spoils of war privately, and in the war, not many people were able to do their duty all the time.

Yang Mingzhi's decision to strengthen military discipline was not empty words, and when the troops triumphed, there was one person who was more concerned about this aspect of work than him - Fuming.

On 26 May, Yang Mingzhi came to the headquarters as usual, and this time, he listened carefully to Fuming's plan for rectifying military discipline.

The decision he made was not complicated:

The main force is guaranteed, and each platoon has a grassroots political commissar. In other units, one company commissar is first guaranteed for each company, and then gradually for one platoon commissar per platoon.

Ensure that each company has a weekly ideological meeting.

In each company's barracks, printed Infantry Conduct Codes on discipline were posted on the walls, and every soldier had to memorize them.

Fu Ming said confidently: "I think that by making such a three-point decision, our military discipline can be quickly restored." Filthy things like what happened in Slavzich will never happen again! ”

"That might be a good idea. Nowadays, both outstanding veterans and ignorant recruits need to strengthen ideological education. You've seen the things that Natasha did yesterday, the one she wrote. Let's talk about your impressions! ”

"Thoughts? Her apology was sincere, as I had heard. Fuming smiled, "I heard that you personally reprimanded her yesterday, and you were stunned to make this girl cry." To be honest, it is her honor to be reprimanded in person by you, a general, like this. It's like a father reprimanding his daughter! ”

Yang Mingzhi shook his head helplessly: "If I have such a daughter, I am really proud and have a headache!" This kid shouldn't be impulsive! Now she is back in the youth camp to continue training young soldiers who are her age and are just as easily impulsive, and hopefully nothing will go wrong. ”

"Of course! She's smart. ”

However, no book can be made without coincidence. Just as the two senior officers in the command continued to discuss the issue of discipline in the army, a young political commissar in a blue hat hurried in.

"Report!"

Fuming squinted at the man and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Director, it's the juvenile battalion, and something happened again!"

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi was a little confused, he sat up straight vigilantly, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Fuming immediately explained: "Oh! That's right, after all, yesterday Natasha hit someone and created some bad effects. Her punishment was canceled, and the examination she wrote was sincere, and I still can't say for sure if she was truly remorseful. ”

"So, you're going to send someone to spy on her?" Yang Mingzhi asked with squinted eyes.

"Hey! Don't look at me like that! Since you have the right to pardon her, I also have the right to monitor every soldier of this army. With that, Fuming turned his head again and asked, "Ivan, how are you supervising?" Something happened to the junior camp? ”

"Yes! Comrade Director! Comrade Commander! It's Natasha! She, she hit someone. ”

Yang Mingzhi became angry when he heard it, and he slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly: "It's her again!" Hit again?! Could it be that this child's examination is perfunctory? ”

Fuming hurriedly reassured: "No! I believe in the child's enlightenment. He then scolded his subordinates: "Ivan, you should say it completely, Natasha really beat people again?" Why did she hit someone? ”

As a result, the monitor told everything he had seen and heard, and Yang Mingzhi's anger instantly subsided, replaced by surprise.

"Hey?! This is called beating? Yang Mingzhi scolded with joy: "Comrade Fuming, you are also ineffective in governing the army!" Those kids have an internal competition, and there's nothing wrong with that! ”

"Of course, there is nothing bad, but Natasha still hurts someone with one blow! Now, the injured are being taken to the hospital. To be honest, I never knew that kid was shooting accidentally, and that he was capable of such bayonet fighting! ”

"Of course I don't know!" Yang Mingzhi muttered: "The youth battalion has joined a lot of children from the guerrilla brigade, so it is not surprising that there are some thorns here. She gave a reasonable lesson to the thorn head after two or three strokes, and she, the instructor, did a good job. ”

"Hehe, it looks like you're really surprised."

"Shouldn't you be surprised?"

Fuming sighed slightly: "Let's not talk about the small surprise brought by Natasha, let's continue to talk about the guerrilla brigade!" The guerrilla brigades, as well as those rescued by our army in April, our army currently has thousands of more troops, but they are quite troublesome! I don't trust them! These people had bad military discipline, especially the 5,000 people who were rescued, and since they could surrender to the Germans, they could surrender again! ”

"It's a pity that we only have these soldiers on hand now. The area controlled by our army is full of mud ponds, and the human resources that can be mobilized are already at the limit! I admit that I have no expectations for the combat effectiveness of these units, so in future battles, the main forces will still be the 284th Division and the Paratrooper Brigade. It will take time and other means to train other units to become first-class troops.

There is a proverb in the Far East: A soldier will bear a nest! In other words, the troops need excellent commanders, and they also need your ideological education work! ”

"Oh? So, you value my work very much, too? Fuming replied as if jokingly.

Today, the commissar could no longer interfere with the decisions of the commanders, and even Salinchkin, who was Stalin's commissioner, who was much higher than Fomin's, had to retreat into the background and take charge of all aspects of the guerrilla republic's operations except for the army, and his decisions had to be approved by the army commanders. In the past, everyone worked together very happily, however, if Yang Mingzhi objected, Salinchkin also needed to compromise.

Since it is a matter of power, Yang Mingzhi consciously should also be involved.

"Comrade Fuming, you have always had a lot of power, and the ideological education work of the entire army depends entirely on you! Moreover, you also have significant power over the interrogation and placement of prisoners of war. ”

Fuming nodded: "That's true. ”

"So in terms of the placement of those Ukrainians, it stands to reason that these traitors will be shot directly, at least I know the attitude of my old friend Yeretina, she will definitely do it! But you are not so tough, they are not dead! ”

"Yes, that's what I proposed to Salinchkin. That is, these traitors can be used as good labor, so let them dig in dangerous mines, which can be regarded as making the best use of things. Comrade Salinchkin was also very supportive, and he supported my idea by considering the capacity needs of the arsenal. ”

"Oh! So, apart from efficiency, you don't have any other considerations? I know, you grew up in Ukraine, and before, you ...... at the conference"

Fuming immediately interrupted: "I did grow up in Ukraine, and my feelings for Ukrainians are also true. As for whether they love me as a Jew or not, I have no hostility towards the Ukrainians anyway. Besides, it would be good for us to send men to the mines, and women to dig and grow potatoes in remote places. ”

Apparently he didn't want to dwell on these issues anymore, so he brought the topic back.

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "In that case, then it is also your decision to send Romanian prisoners of war to the mine?" To be honest, I don't think there's something right about it! ”

Fuming was stunned: "Oh? It seems that you also have compassion? ”

"Nope! It's a promise. I promised them to farm, so they surrendered, and now I have deceived them! They complained, and even deliberately did not cooperate well! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm thinking about efficiency, since you have an opinion, then I'll do what you ask."

"Nope! My attitude has changed now. Just let them keep mining! Anyway, they are also aggressors. Yang Mingzhi pondered for a moment, even if he said a few more words to the new and old Brimayu, these were all false and aggrieved snakes to stabilize the prisoners of war. However, it is true that the Romanian prisoners of war did not cooperate, and the Soviet army had to do something. "In my opinion, we will temporarily eliminate the weak in the mine and let the weak dig and cultivate the land, so as to stabilize the thinking of prisoners of war. Besides, our current sulfur production capacity is enough to meet the needs of the arsenal, and we have even made a batch of sulfur soap. ”

"Okay, I'll go to Salinchkin again and ask him to change his plans."
