Chapter 100

At night, sporadic gunfire came from time to time. It seems that the fighting did not stop because of the coming of night. The enemy and us are still fighting for some areas on a small scale.

Rokosovsky, the chief and deputy chief of staff and political commissar gathered around the map to study the battle after dawn. Seeing that they didn't plan to go to bed at all, I could only give up the idea of going to the dormitory of the female soldiers in the cooking class to have a rest and stay up late with them in the headquarters honestly.

As for the battle after dawn, rokosovsky obviously had a complete set of mature plans. He pointed to the map and said: "after the battle in the daytime, our army has completely smashed the German troops who occupied skirmanovo and other villages. The 10th German tank division, which tried to cut off the wolokoramsk Road, suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat a long distance. According to the statistics, our army destroyed more than 50 enemy tanks and captured many guns, including 150 mm cannons, mortars and hundreds of cars. In order to consolidate the present achievements and prevent the German armored forces from attacking our flanks, I plan to transfer major yevremenko's 289th anti tank regiment to the area of spas lyuhovsky, where they will take up the defensive task. "

"Comrade commander, I want to remind you one thing," political commissar lobachev said, "you put Comrade Vladimir stavsky of Pravda in the 289 regiment today. If you transfer the regiment to such a dangerous area, then the safety of Comrade stavsky's life will not be guaranteed. He is a precious asset of our country, and none of us has the right to risk his life. " The commissar's words made everyone silent, and collectively turned their attention to rokosovsky.

I thought to myself: who is this stavsky? Isn't he a reporter from Pravda? Do you worry about his safety? Is he famous? No, at least he is not as famous as Gorky. Otherwise, I have never heard of his name. Originally, I wanted to ask the people next to me quietly: what kind of person is this stafsky? But when I looked left and right, I found that everyone was very serious. Then I realized that the reporter was not a small man. It was better to ask less, so I closed my mouth.

"Comrade political commissar, do you think it's OK for him to come to the headquarters for a while?" Asked rokosovsky tentatively.

The political commissar shook his head and said, "Comrade stavsky is here for an interview. He has always wanted to go to the front line to see for himself how our brave soldiers fought against the ferocious enemy. If he knows that the 289 regiment will be transferred to the most dangerous area, it may be too late for him to be happy. If he wants to stay in the headquarters honestly, I'm afraid he won't agree. "

"What shall we do then?" The commander's fingers tapped on the table. He frowned and thought for a while. Then he looked up, glanced at the commander and asked, "do any of you have a good idea?"

The people in the room looked at each other and didn't speak. Everyone knew that it was a difficult matter. Although stavsky was a big man, he couldn't affect the movement of the troops alone. But if he is allowed to follow the troops to the most dangerous places, who should bear the responsibility and who can afford it once something happens?

Finally, the political commissar opened his mouth to break the embarrassing situation. He said: "otherwise, the troops will be mobilized according to the original plan. I personally went to the 289 regiment to take charge, and I was responsible for the safety of Comrade stavsky. As long as I was alive, he would never be in danger. "

"I'll go." The political commissar's proposal may be the best solution. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Artillery commander karzakov stood up and said, "I'd better go. 289 regiment is under my direct command. When I go there, I can not only ensure the safety of Comrade stafsky, but also command and mobilize the troops according to the specific situation. "

Rokosovsky thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I agree with Comrade kazakov that it is most appropriate for him to go to the 289 regiment." With these words, he picked up a pencil, wrote a few lines on an open Notepad, tore them off and handed them to kazakov.

When handsome Luo was writing, I immediately recalled his natural and unrestrained action in the movie "the battle of Moscow" when he led the troops to the national defense warehouse to collect weapons and ammunition, and wrote the receipt to the warehouse Quartermaster. His action is so cool, it's fascinating. No wonder there are so many young women who will fall in love with him later.

"Rita, Rita!" Handsome guy Luo even called me twice, and I came back to myself. I found that I had been staring at him just now. After listening to him, he suddenly felt a fever on his face, coughed quickly, stabilized his mood, and then asked, "Comrade commander, what's the matter?"

Rokosovsky did not answer my question, but went on to say: "except for the 289th regiment, I intend to transfer the 78th infantry division of Colonel beloborodov here..." he dotted a place name on the map with his hand: "in the area of Istra, it is possible for the German army to gather forces in this area and launch a counterattack against our offensive forces."

To tell you the truth, I don't like to participate in such military meetings. I feel crazy when they mention one strange place after another and say the names of the troops and commanders that I don't know at all. It's much easier to be on the front line. When the superior orders you to attack or defend, you only need to consider how to complete the task. You don't need to remember the place names that are difficult to remember and the number of troops that are increasing or disappearing. If I have a chance, I'd better ask handsome Luo to go to the front line. At least when others stay up late, I can sleep peacefully.

After dawn, our army's attack continued. I learned from the war reports that the headquarters received from the front line that the 50th cavalry division led by major general Iliev had penetrated the German defense line for three kilometers. General katukov's 1st guard tank brigade was strafed and bombed by the German air force when it was covering the attack of chernenov's 18th infantry division. The troops lost a lot, but at noon they broke through the German defense line and recovered several residential areas. At the same time, the German army assembled an armored division and launched an attack on the spas lyuhovsky area. The 289 regiment, which entered the area at night, fought back tenaciously with tank guns and destroyed more than 30 enemy tanks. The troops of the 17th and 20th cavalry divisions, who arrived in time, launched an attack on the flank of the German army, defeated the German infantry, forced the enemy to stop attacking the area, and had to return to the starting point of the attack. Generally speaking, the results of the second day of the campaign were not bad. Our army's sudden attack caught the German army by surprise. They were forced to retreat from many places and a large area of territory was recovered.
