Chapter 119: The Death of Kirponos (1)
After eating this sumptuous lunch, Yang Mingzhi took his wife back to his residence.
During the military operation, the guard company dispatched 100 people, and only 50 people returned safely without hanging the lottery, and 30 of them died honorably. Yang Mingzhi's residence is one with the barracks of the guard company. After the fighters finished eating, they immediately cleaned up the housekeeping.
Many of his comrades will never return, and the atmosphere is eerily quiet. This makes people sigh that perhaps for them, death is just a simple number. As a soldier, dying on the battlefield is also a good ending. Everyone doesn't know the fate of tomorrow, so why not cherish the present?
The fighters continued with a simple barracks life, and all those involved in the operation were put on vacation. Everyone will not be idle, they will take out their bedding to dry, and sort out the loot.
Yang Mingzhi is the same, but he has an arm injury, and many things are still done by star fruit.
"You don't have to bother too much, little peach, just let the soldiers come over and help you." Yang Mingzhi knew that she was also injured, and bruises were also injuries, so why did she personally carry the mattress to dry?
I saw that the girl just shook her head, "This is our own family's business, and it doesn't feel right to let the soldiers help." ”
Yang Mingzhi didn't refute, he simply followed her wishes, and sat outdoors for a while. It just so happened that he saw Natasha also tidying up her own affairs, and together with her little brother, she took out all the clothes in the residence and shook the wind.
The siblings looked peaceful, and Natasha was rewarded with a sumptuous spoils of war after the battle. She took some cans from the corpses of the enemy, as well as toffee, which had been rations for German soldiers, and now she used them for herself, and she could also give them to her only brother.
Carambola carried the futon and hung it on the hemp rope, and the two girls looked at each other and smiled and exchanged ideas.
Yang Mingzhi subconsciously took out a cigarette and smoked it, and admired the graceful posture of the "housewife".
Because there was a meeting at night, Yang Mingzhi decided to get a good night's sleep and be with his wife. The two men lay on clean blankets and took off their coats. The two slept in their arms, blankets over their bodies.
Lying beside her was his wife, who took off all the clothes that should be washed, and wore only her belly pocket. Such a lovely person is lying beside him, if he is healthy, he may pounce on it directly. It's just that now that my arm is injured, I still obey her request and lie down obediently.
However, Yang Mingzhi is not at a loss, and his wife is still very willing to arch into his arms. "You're like a kitten, but when you fight, you're like a calm tiger, every shot is aimed at the enemy and then struck suddenly. Now you're clingy. ”
"yes, I feel safe in your arms." Carambola muttered, "You're going to a meeting again in the evening, so you must be discussing something important." It's okay, when you wake up, you change your clothes, and I'll wash you after all the dirty clothes are off. ”
"But your arm is also injured."
"Out of the way, I'm strong." The girl didn't say anything more, and she was tired and quiet for a while, and then there was a burst of coquettish gasps.
Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes with peace of mind, and the two fell asleep one after another.
But on the other hand, when they were asleep, Yevlov was not at peace. As for the placement of the newly arrived troops, these matters were entrusted to Fuming and Yerenkina, and the decision of their preliminary study was to be decided by the division headquarters. Second, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the radio officer received shocking news.
The commander of the Soviet Southwestern Front, Kirponos, was killed in an encounter with the Germans on the way to break out.
When the intelligence was on the table, Yevlov was taken aback.
"That general actually died! Heralds! Go comrade, our commissar hurried back, and comrade deputy division commander Berekov came over, and we had to hold an emergency meeting. ”
The herald received the order and was just about to leave, when Yevlov suddenly changed his mind. "Wait, don't inform Berekov, let him continue to sleep for a while!"
Soon, Fumin and Yerentina returned, and they were shocked by the latest information.
I saw that Yevlov sat down at the map table with his hands right, and said to the two: "Comrades, I think that the battle of our army in Ukraine may really be lost. The death of the commander of the Front, Kirponos, the fall of Kyiv, the Ukrainian campaign, we lost. “
Perhaps the defeat is already doomed, although the 284th Division is in a swamp, everyone is at a very delicate node, so they get more information.
Yerentina looked very calm and asked weakly: "Is it true, the situation is really as Berekov said, the enemy's armored cluster suddenly moved south, and finally we were surrounded." ”
"It is quite possible that after the fall of Kyiv, their command began to retreat and continued to command the entire front on the way to the battle. But the enemy attacked the headquarters of the Front, or fought an encounter with the enemy. They met Guderian's troops, the guys who were heading south. It was they who defeated us in Belarus, and we had to take refuge in the swamps, and now they are about to achieve a new victory. ”
Speaking of this, a kind of confusion suddenly appeared on Yevlov's face. "It's really bad, if the fighting in Ukraine fails, we will really be completely surrounded by the enemy."
"So what." Yeretina pretended to be optimistic, "Even if we are surrounded, we can still fight." You see, the two months we retreated into the swamp were basically out of a state of siege, and instead of being trapped, we won a lot of victories. It may be tough later, but the victory is definitely ours. ”
Yevlov nodded, "Let's wait for Berekov to come over, and we'll discuss this matter later." ”
Throughout the afternoon, many exhausted soldiers lay down without hesitation. Yang Mingzhi slept until six o'clock in the afternoon, and a knock on the door woke up the star fruit who had slept lightly.
"Sir! The division commander calls you over, and the meeting is about to begin! The meeting is about to begin! The meeting is about to begin! "Because it's so important, the herald said it three times.
"Okay! I'm going to wake him up! Star fruit shouted outside.
After that, she decisively pushed the people around her, and Yang Mingzhi woke up in a daze, and couldn't help yawning. Rubbing his eyes, he asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's past six o'clock in the afternoon." At this moment, the star fruit had already gotten up and lit the oil lamp.
In the dim light, the graceful posture of the girl loomed. Her smooth back was glowing, and she didn't wear anything on her lower body, which caused Yang Mingzhi to wake up immediately, and even be very excited. It's just that the purple bruise on her arm is very inconsistent.
"Okay, now I'm sober. Xiao Tao, you also hurry up and put on your clothes, it will be a little cold after the sun sets, and it will be bad if you have a cold. ”
"Good. Husband, you should also pay attention, I will boil water for a while. Let's take a shower when you get back. ”
