Chapter 186

"Nonsense, nonsense!" From the receiver came rokosovsky's roar, followed by a loud bang, probably another slap on the table in front of him. I feel very sorry for the wooden table in the division headquarters at the moment. I don't know if it broke up after being hit by the commander again and again these days?

I took the phone away from my ear a little bit so that I wouldn't be deafened by his roar“ Anyway, I'll see katukov and yevlemenko and their troops in your division headquarters by 10 a.m. If you can't wipe out a few enemies like you, sooner or later the tank brigade and anti tank artillery regiment will be completely defeated. "

Listening to the commander's anger on the phone, it is estimated that the repeated attacks of Taiyangshan city have failed, forcing him to the verge of collapse. He just vented his dissatisfaction, so that he didn't even listen to what I just told him the battle was over. But I knew it was unwise to remind him at this time, so I kept silent.

He roared for a while, then suddenly asked, as if he had found a new world: "what did you say, Rita? Another German unit wedged into your division's line of defense has also been completely annihilated by you? "

"Yes, comrade commander." I put the receiver close to my ear again and replied with a smile: "I have just reported to you that the lost position has been recaptured and the invading enemy has been completely annihilated."

"I'm sorry, Rita!" Rokosovsky took the initiative to apologize for his attitude: "I was in a bad mood just now. I was angry with you. Don't care. By the way, how about the casualties of the troops? "

"The casualties of our army were very small. Only five people were killed and 18 wounded. More than 100 enemies were wiped out and the same number of prisoners were captured. Later, these prisoners will be escorted to the division headquarters and sent to Moscow

"It's not easy. It's amazing that the enemy was wiped out and the position was recaptured with such a small amount of casualties." Rokosovsky said heartily: "it seems that I should report to Comrade Zhukov and give up the position of commander so that you can command the troops to counter attack Taiyangshan city."

I laughed and replied, "Comrade commander, don't you know me? With my ability, it's a bit difficult to command a division now. Isn't it a joke to command another group army? "

"Just now, the commander of 1075 regiment, Lieutenant Colonel sherebriakov, called to say that you have important information to report to me. What is it that makes you so anxious to find me

"Well, comrade commander." When I heard him ask this question, I told him in detail about the lack of German winter equipment. At last, I suggested: "I suggest that you suspend military operations in sun mountain city. It's very inappropriate for you to compete with the German army in the situation of lack of air supremacy and inferior equipment. We should first withdraw from the occupied residential areas, return to the starting point of the attack, and let the troops rest. "

"You have a point, but I can't do it." Although rokosovsky agreed with me, he couldn't take my suggestion. In order to keep me from being distracted, he quickly stated his own point of view: "this counter offensive is the meaning of the supreme command. Zhukov just made a plan and conveyed it to the army in the form of an order."

"But such an attack is to let our soldiers die in vain!"

Rokosovsky sighed and said earnestly: "I know what you said, but there is no way. The orders of the superior can not be discussed, they can only be carried out. You often object to my orders, which is very dangerous. If you change people, you may be sent to a military court. Do you know what it means to go to court martial? The only end is to be shot. "

Hearing that I was shot, I was startled. I still remember the last time I escaped from death inside and outside. I know it's useless to say anything now. If I go on, it's easy to put myself in a dangerous situation, so I shut up.

Hearing that there was no voice on my side, he probably felt frightened and said in a different tone: "tell me why you don't plan to return the tank brigade and anti tank artillery regiment."

When I saw him, I asked me to talk about my views, but I was not polite. I said frankly, "nowadays, the German attack is very fast, and many of the organizational systems have been disrupted. I intend to use the tank brigade to cooperate with the troops to launch an attack against the isolated enemy and annihilate one or more of them. By doing so, we can not only reduce the pressure for the attack in the direction of Taiyangshan City, but also disrupt the enemy's attack deployment. What do you think of my idea? "

After listening to my suggestion, rokosovsky didn't speak so much that I thought he hung up. After a while, I heard his voice again: "this idea is very good. I will report it to Comrade Zhukov immediately. You can go back to the division headquarters or the regimental headquarters of the 1073 regiment as soon as possible. The telephone of the front army headquarters can't reach the battalion headquarters directly. "

"Yes I quickly agreed and put down the phone. First I told major shedulin to arrange for the prisoners to be escorted to the headquarters of the division as soon as possible. Then I asked katukov and chisgakov to leave.

Out of the headquarters, katukov ran back to his tank and mobilized his troops. The rest is me and chisjakov going to the jeep. It's only one or two hundred meters from the headquarters to the parking place, but when I walk to the jeep, I feel that my face and ears are almost numb with cold.

Sitting in the car, taking advantage of the hot car in grissa, I gently rubbed my numb ears and said to myself, "this damned weather should be minus 20 degrees."“ It should be more than that, "said chisjakov, taking over the topic." you see, the snow on the ground crunched on the way we came here just now, at least minus 30 degrees. In this kind of weather, if there are not enough warm keeping measures, it will freeze to death in the middle of the night. "
