Chapter 147

As soon as the car stopped, Ramis opened the door, jumped down and headed for the headquarters.

Looking at the impatient look of Ramis, I couldn't help laughing. I turned to grissa and said, "I'll get off here. You can find a place to park your car."

"Then this car will not be returned to the seventh division of Jinwei?" Grissa didn't recognize what I said and asked foolishly.

I patted him on the shoulder with my right hand and said with a smile, "do you know why I refuse to send us a driver from Colonel gritznov?"

He looked at me suspiciously, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. If they send us a driver, the car will be driven back by their driver. If we drive it back, we don't have to send it back. "

Like leviagin, I slapped him on the back of the head and said with a smile, "you idiot, you just want to understand now. If you don't find a place to park your car, remember to change the windows. " Then he opened the door and jumped out.

"I see, sir." Grissa agreed, stepped on the gas and the car rushed forward.

When I went to the division headquarters, a sentry suddenly came out from behind the tree, looked me down, and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "are you the division commander?"

"Yes, I'm oshanina, the commander of the eighth division of Jinwei, your immediate superior." Back to my own territory, I felt very happy, so I couldn't help joking with the sentry.

The sentry stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted me. He reported: "report to Mr. division commander, soldier gelia is standing guard. He is responsible for the safety of the division headquarters. Please give us your instructions!"

"Stay on duty!" After returning the salute, I continued to walk towards the division headquarters.

More than ten meters away from the headquarters, I saw political commissar yegorov come out of the shelter department, followed by general leviagin and Ramis who just went to report. Seeing them coming out to meet me, I hastened to meet them.

We stopped two or three steps apart. Regardless of my status, I stood up to salute the political commissar. Although my nose was sour, I tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Hello, comrade political commissar! I'm back. "

The political commissar didn't care to return the gift either. When he came up, he hugged me tightly and patted me on the back with his hand. He choked and said, "just come back, just come back. We've been worried about you for hours. We have lost one of our beloved teachers two days ago. I don't want to lose another so soon. "

As soon as the political commissar released me, general leviagin came forward and hugged me again. With so much strength, I felt a little out of breath, and felt the wound on my shoulder burst open again. At this time, I hate the etiquette of Lao maozi. When they meet, hugging is just like shaking hands. The stronger they use, the more intimate they are.

When I finally got back to the headquarters, I sat down at the table and asked leviagin, "Comrade General, how many people have the 1077 regiment withdrawn from the city?"

Leviagin happily told me that at least 1500 people had followed him out of the city.

When I heard this, I felt very sad. I remember when I arrived in the city yesterday, leviagin told me that there were nearly 3000 people in his regiment, but now only half of them have been withdrawn. I sighed and said faintly, "so in yesterday's battle, we had the same number of soldiers killed."

"Well," leviagin did not evade the question, and honestly admitted this reality, "but we persisted in the city for another day, wiped out a large number of enemies, and held them back in their march to Moscow."

Listening to the faint sound of guns outside, I muttered: "but the price is too high!"

"This is the war," the commissar continued, "in order to protect our country, our great capital, no matter how great the sacrifice is worth."

"What about the other two regiments?" I went on to ask.

"The situation is not bad. The 1075 regiment is resting in the forest. After the 1073 regiment built a new line of defense outside the city, it has repelled the German attack many times. " Levi yagin was the one who introduced the situation. Although he only acted as my teacher for a few hours, he knew the situation of the division like the back of his hand.

It suddenly occurred to me that the defense of the city had been taken over by the seventh division of Jinwei, and the pressure our division was facing was greatly reduced. After several attacks, the German army was very tired from officers to soldiers. If I could lead the recuperated 1075 regiment to launch an attack on the German Army, I didn't know what the result would be.

But I soon gave up this unrealistic idea, you know, in the absence of air and artillery firepower cover, on the basis of these thousands of people to rashly attack the well-equipped and well-trained German army, even if the initial success can be achieved, but will soon fall into the encirclement of the German army, may also end up with a total annihilation.

I was just thinking about it when the phone on my desk rang. The commissar picked it up and listened. Then he handed me the microphone and whispered, "it's general rokosovsky, commander of the group army."

I picked up the receiver and said uneasily, "Hello, comrade commander! I'm oshanina I'm beating drums in my heart. I don't know what will happen if the commander calls me at this time. You know, I left my troops last night and went straight to break through. But for leviagin's luck and the help of the seventh division of the guards, maybe they would have been destroyed. I don't know if the commander knew that I had left my troops to run for my life, and he made a special phone call to ask for help“ Rita, "rokosovsky's voice was steady, and there seemed to be no sense of settling accounts in the future." I'm glad you've come back to your own headquarters alive. How is the injury? " I wry smile for a while, said: "still the same, the wound has not healed, the left hand is always unable to move freely." The other side was silent for a while, then a voice came: "I asked Comrade Zhukov, he is ready to let you go back to the city to recuperate first, and then we will meet the eighth division of the guards after the injury is healed. Do you have any comments? "“ I'm under the orders of my superiors. " Although he is asking for my opinions, I know very well in my heart that it is a matter of certainty. I can't change the established facts whether I agree or not, but it's better to behave obediently and leave a good impression on my superiors“ All right, then Rokosovsky didn't show any politeness to me. He continued to ask, "who do you think you should give the command of the division to during the period when you leave?" After listening to his words, I had a lot of balance in my heart. It turned out that I was not dismissed, but really let me heal. Almost without thinking, I replied, "I think general leviagin is right for this position."“ That's the decision. Take a night off first, and leave for Moscow early tomorrow morning. Be safe on the way. Good luck Finish saying, didn't wait for me to declare a position, then directly hung up the phone. Putting off the phone, the commissar asked with concern, "what did the commander say?"“ Let me go back to Moscow tomorrow for treatment With these words, I turned to leviagin and said solemnly, "general leviagin, during the period of my departure, the command of the division will be handed over to you. I hope you will not let me down." Leviagin stood up abruptly, saluted me and said in a loud voice, "don't worry, sir! As long as there is still one man in the eighth division of the guards, we will never let even one German army swagger through our defense line. " Seeing his attitude, I nodded with satisfaction and sat down again. After greeting him to sit down, I began to chat with him: "Comrade General, can you tell me about the fighting in the city last night? Although grissa said it once during the day, it's not very detailed. I want to hear you say it again. "“ No problem. I'll tell you as long as you're interested. " Leviagin readily agreed to my request.
