Chapter 40

When I asked Zhukov to go to the front line, he sat at the table and was silent for a long time. Originally, he was to reward me for the successful completion of the task he delivered, let me talk about what I wish, he can help me achieve. Maybe he thought to himself that I would ask him to give me a few days off so that I could have a good rest in Moscow. I didn't expect that I would take the initiative to go to the front line, which was so unexpected that he would sit there and say nothing.

He stood up, walked up to me and asked, "what do you think of the German Paratroopers attacking the headquarters of the front army? Is our position exposed? "

"It's impossible." I didn't expect that he didn't reply to my request directly, but suddenly raised this question, but still answered him honestly: "if the position of the headquarters is exposed, then the German army is bound to send air force to bomb here, and will not just send so many paratroopers to die."

"Are you sure that only a few enemy paratroopers, not our defense lines, have been broken through?"

"Yes, Georgi konstantinovic." I answered him with great certainty: "I think so. If our defense line is broken through, we will hear the sound of guns and tanks. I also took part in the siege and annihilation of paratroopers, who had nothing but submachine guns and mortars. I think it's just an enemy paratrooper who accidentally parachuted near the headquarters. "

"What's the point of the enemy Airdropping paratroopers in the rear of our army?" He then asked.

"The paratroopers dropped by the German army in the rear of our army can only cause some disturbance and damage, such as attacking the headquarters of our army, blowing up roads and bridges and so on. However, they are small in number and will soon be wiped out by our troops, which poses little threat to us. "

"Yes, although one or two paratroopers are not enough to worry about, when the front line is tight, we have to deploy valuable troops to encircle and annihilate them. The situation is still very bad. What do you think? Let's hear it. "

"We should also send a large number of destruction teams with weapons and explosives to the enemy's rear to attack their command system and destroy their logistics supply lines. At the same time, we should mobilize the masses in the enemy occupied areas, extensively carry out guerrilla warfare behind the enemy lines in familiar areas, coordinate favorably with the front battlefield, and submerge the enemy in the vast ocean of people's war. " I said it almost without thinking. After that, I found that I quoted the great man's words again unintentionally.

"I see." After listening to me, Zhukov nodded and said, "I will personally recommend this to the supreme command. It's getting late. Go and have a rest first. "

The next morning, Zhukov woke me up and told me in person that the base camp had passed my proposal to send a large number of guerrillas to the enemy's rear to carry out guerrilla warfare. At the same time, he appointed me as the special commissioner of the front army and asked me to set out for the Panfilov division immediately to take charge of the arrangement.

After accepting the mission, I left the headquarters by car. After yesterday's attack, I saw a pile of black and burnt car bodies standing on the uneven ground, which had been burned to the ground. I stopped the driver, went to the wreckage alone, took off my hat and bowed my head to mourn for the sacrifice of sait.

The driver came up to me and asked, "do you know the driver who died yesterday?"

"Yes. He's my friend I put on my hat again, looked at the driver in front of me and said in a positive tone, "he also saved the lives of me and my senior general. Now, comrade driver, drive me to the front line. "

When I arrived at the headquarters of the Panfilov division, I met the teacher with a moustache. He seemed a little unhappy about my coming. As for his feelings, I understand very well that the special commissioners from the headquarters usually belong to the kind of people who are ignorant and know nothing but unrealistic blind command there. They are very annoying. However, due to their identity, the people below dare to be angry and speechless, so they are all respectful.

The division commander arranged a sergeant named bahadu to be my guard. I heard him solemnly tell bahadu: "you should protect the life of special commissioner o'shanina like your own eyes."

In the evening, the guerrillas from Moscow arrived. General Panfilov received them in an auditorium at the station and sent for me. When I walked into the auditorium, I saw that the room was full of people, almost all guerrillas in civilian clothes. While general Panfilov and several political workers stood on the rostrum and pushed forward against the wall.

The first speaker was the political commissar of the division. He first welcomed the arrival of the guerrillas, and then began to talk about the importance of carrying out guerrilla warfare behind the enemy's lines. I heard straight want to doze off, and dare not really close their eyes to sleep, can only stare at the ceiling in a daze.

Suddenly, someone pushed me. I looked back blankly and saw that it was the political commissar who had just spoken. He said to me in a low voice, "Comrade division commander, please say a few words to the guerrillas."

Let me talk?! This Panfilov can really make a fool of me. I'm not prepared for anything. What should I say to these people? Think of here, I can not help but nervous, so that standing in front of the podium for a long time, do not know how to speak. Seeing my performance, there was a whisper coming from the audience, and it was getting louder and louder. In the face of this situation, I became more and more nervous and couldn't say a word.

"Comrades, please be quiet, please be quiet!" At this time, major general Panfilov, who was standing on one side, came out to understand the surrounding. He said loudly to the following, "listen to major oshanina tell us a few words." Listening to what he said, the audience immediately quieted down. I calmed down, and then summoned up the courage to say: "Hello, comrades!" As soon as the voice fell, there was a thunderous applause under the stage. The sudden applause startled me and started clapping without saying anything? However, I was soon relieved. This is everyone's encouragement to me and gives me the courage to continue to speak on the stage. After the applause calmed down, I went on to say, "comrades, you will soon pass through the front positions and go to the enemy's rear. I hope that when you are past, you can mobilize all the people in the enemy occupied areas, carry out extensive guerrilla warfare behind the enemy, lay mines, blow up bridges, destroy the enemy's lines of communication, and cooperate favorably with the front battlefield. " At this point, I looked under the stands and didn't react quietly. Did the political commissar just say what I said? I just repeated what he said? It seems that I have to speak in depth to arouse their resonance, so I went on to say: "Russia is a vast country, where we grow up. Every inch of land here is our own. If the German bandits dare to seize it, we will fight with him to the bottom. When we go to the enemy's rear, we should not be afraid of difficulties or sacrifice. We should take their back roads and hit the weakest areas of their defense. We should attack a village today and seize a city tomorrow, so that they can not concentrate their forces. We can win only by fighting between the two sides. Go to the enemy's rear, drive the devils out of the country, and plant our red flag everywhere in Russia. " As soon as the voice fell, there was another thunderous applause. Major general Panfilov took my hand and said in a loud voice, "that's very kind of you! It's good for morale I laughed and didn't speak. I just held his hand tightly. After the end of the pre war mobilization, the guerrillas were divided into many groups. With the cooperation of the soldiers, they went to the enemy's rear through the front in batches“ Comrade major, "there was a timid voice around me. I looked back and saw that it was a beautiful girl with a headscarf. Looking back at me, she blushed and said to me, "what you said just now is really wonderful. I really envy you!" Without waiting for me to speak, suddenly someone was shouting from a distance: "Zhuoya, hurry up, we're going to start."“ OK, I'll be right there The girl in front of me agreed, grabbed my hand and shook it, saying, "goodbye, comrade commander. Goodbye after victory!" Then he turned and ran away. She's Zhuoya, and I'm stunned. Do I need to catch up with her and tell her never to go to a place called "petrissevo village". After just a few steps, I stopped. History is history. I have no right to modify it. What should happen will always happen.
