It seems as if the battle is not over yet!

Early in the morning, the melodious morning horn sounded throughout the catfish village, and after a while, the military song was loud.

Yang Mingzhi's eyes were quickly lifted, and for a while he still felt that he was sleeping in the wild, and only after waking up did he fully remember what happened yesterday. His thoughts returned, and he realized that he was visibly weighed down by some weight. I looked left and right, and I was the only one on the bed.

"Hey, hey! Did you two sleep comfortably tonight? ”

Yang Mingzhi sat up with a muttering to himself, there is always a wife around him on weekdays, so it is inevitable that he will be a little tired when he gets up. Star fruit is still asleep with Natasha now, and she has a deep sleep after the battle.

The fighters can rest well, as the supreme commander of the unit should be busy. But when I really sat up, every cell seemed to be roaring hoarsely, "sleep"!

"Forget it! Never mind! I'm sick of self-reliance, who will command these tens of thousands of people?! ”

In a trance, Yang Mingzhi covered the quilt and lay down.

Throughout the morning, no one tried to wake up their general. Roshakov reported the arrival of the commander and the large army to the blacksmith village that night, and Yevlov's order was also very painful: "The commander must be tired!" Since the vast number of soldiers will enjoy the vacation, let him also have a good rest, let him sleep until he wakes up naturally. ”

Roshakov carried out the order of the deputy commander, Yang Mingzhi also showed great cooperation, and he slept too hard, until noon, when he got up to go to the toilet, facing the sun hanging high in the dome, he realized that he had slept too long.

Many of the soldiers who participated in the battle also slept until noon, and if they didn't have to eat, they could continue to rest.

Even so, the two girls continued to sleep deeply, and slept through their meals in one go. They are indeed too tired, and now they are embracing each other and continuing to dream of spring and autumn.

Yang Mingzhi quickly changed his clothes and went straight to the old headquarters.

Now, a strong sense of guilt was filling his body. Seeing that Kravsky was in the headquarters, he immediately said: "What the hell, why didn't anyone wake me up?" Kravsky, don't be idle, let your telegraph operator contact the blacksmith village at once, you prepare me another car, and I will rush back to the blacksmith village as soon as possible. ”

Kravsky smiled awkwardly: "General, you don't have to be so eager! We have received an order from the city party committee and the general headquarters that you, the commander of the group army, should have a good rest! They are very worried about your body! ”

"! I know my body, I'm a tough guy with iron! Yang Mingzhi patted his chest and looked conceited, but he found a chair and sat down very honestly.

He quickly understood what Krafsky meant, that these were good advice from the guys.

Originally, I hurried back with the intention of immediately starting a post-war summary meeting, writing a report on the results of the war, and even discussing the next strategy. If they are not anxious about this, why are they so anxious?

Yang Mingzhi boasted that he had rested, and of course he would not lie down again in the afternoon. He is not idle, thousands of people are fully stationed in Catfish Village today through the pontoon, and thousands will advance towards the Blacksmith Village, which is destined to be very lively today.

In fact, the various open spaces throughout the catfish village were crowded with people, who sat in place to eat, pack their equipment, and in the afternoon, they would walk to their respective barracks.

Yang Mingzhi said hello to these comrades-in-arms, and he didn't have to worry too much about the rest, they would act according to the plan.

He yawned and returned to the old command.

The roof of the old house has also been renovated, and the interior is still some old objects, but the staff has completely changed. Revisiting last year's retreat road and revisiting how the military and civilians survived in the most difficult days of last year, Yang Mingzhi was full of thoughts.

Thinking about this military operation again, I originally just wanted the soldiers who had been holding back for a month to open meat, but I never thought that the scale of the battle would expand a lot. In the current situation, the Germans did not take decisive measures at the first time, let alone showed signs of a large-scale attack, and their previous worries seemed unnecessary.

In the whole operation, the really difficult enemy can be said to be non-existent, there are many enemies killed and wounded, and more people are saved. At least 8,000 people were saved in this battle, and most of them could be quickly transformed into soldiers. As a result, the population of Novgomel will exceed 55,000 people, and for the first time, the number of combatants will exceed 20,000.

This new pattern makes it time to think about whether there are enough guns!

This afternoon, Yang Mingzhi was not idle, his pen did not listen, and with a clear memory just after the battle, he immediately recalled the battles of these days and wrote an important statistical report.

On the morning of 5 May, he returned to the blacksmith village in a jeep. He didn't take his wife with him, but went back alone.

The reason is also very simple, Liu Hongxiu's illness is basically cured, her body is too weak and she has to continue to recuperate, in this case, it is best to have her friends to take care of her. Carambola and Natasha have to take care of her, and the very existence of the two also plays a huge role.

After a long period of practice, the star fruit, a two-knife surgeon, has become more and more professional, especially the lancet technique has been quite good after long-term training. There is no reason to be absent from the work of treating the purulent wounds of wounded soldiers, or even finding shrapnel that has been buried too deeply.

Both husband and wife will fight on their respective fronts, Yang Mingzhi carried a notebook, wore a military uniform that had been refreshed after a simple cleaning, and returned to his headquarters proudly with the attitude of a victor.

The joy of victory filled the faces of every peaceful resident of Novgomel. In addition to those who joined the army, more than 30,000 people lived in several collective farms. Half of them were city dwellers, such as the cities of Mozyr and Lechtsa, and the Soviet population under German control was very small. The people fled into the forest to find the various groups for refuge, and most of them eventually trekked more than 100 kilometers into the swamp.

This was a new victory, which the command center of the army group in the village of blacksmith and the city committee of Novgomel did not hesitate to advertise as a great victory.

Most of the residents were assigned jobs, and the relatively idle group of middle-aged women, with a large number of children, were asked to stand on the broad road into the blacksmith village to meet the triumphant troops.

Yang Mingzhi arrived later, so he missed the pomp.

The people sang Soviet red songs and greeted the soldiers who were kicking into the village. More than 2,000 people from two paratrooper battalions, women's battalions, and reconnaissance battalions marched with their heads held high. Behind them was an even greater procession, numbering as many as five thousand rescued people. Their old clothes were in tatters, and people could still tell that they were Soviet uniforms!

The people had already been propagandized, but when they saw the vast procession of these rescued people, the onlookers were all shocked.

The welcome ceremony was rather brief, and after a brief walk into the village, the four battalions quickly returned to their camp to rest, as the leave was not yet over.
