Chapter 189

The table in the headquarters is too small for too many people to sit around, so only the regimental commander and deputy regimental commander can sit down. The remaining battalion commanders have to stand up and have a meeting.

I sent out all the people in charge of communication in the regiment headquarters except one communication staff officer. For the sake of confidentiality, I also specially asked chisgakov to add double posts at the door, so as to prevent irrelevant people from breaking in during the meeting.

After lieutenant commander mlakintsev and political commissar slavkin sat down, leviagin asked me in a low voice, "Comrade division, we are almost here. Are we still waiting for general katukov?"

I raised his left hand and looked at the wrist watch. The clock pointed to four o'clock. It was the appointed time of katukov, but I didn't see his trace. According to my understanding of laomaozi, they always have no idea of time. If they want to continue to wait, they still don't know when to wait. So I let go of his hand and said decisively, "no, let's have a meeting."

When I saw that everyone's attention was focused on me, I cleared my throat and announced the topic of this military conference: "I'm calling you here today to assign you an important combat task. I plan to launch an attack on the German forces occupying sun mountain city at 11 o'clock tonight. "

As soon as the voice dropped, the commanders who attended the meeting began to whisper. Although our division didn't take part in the attack of Taiyangshan city today, everyone knew that the war was stuck. From your expressions, I can guess that the troops of several divisions have attacked for nearly a day and have not made any substantial progress. What kind of effect will our attack achieve?

Leviagin couldn't see it any more. He knocked hard on the table with his fist to suppress all the voices. Then he stood up and said discontentedly, "if you have any ideas, just say them. Don't mutter below."

"Comrade division commander," the first one to stand up was lieutenant colonel mlakintsev, head of the mixed Cadet regiment. He asked a question that everyone was concerned about: "how many troops do we have in this attack, and what kind of support will we get?"

As soon as his words were finished, everyone's eyes turned to me again. I looked at Lt. Col. mlakintsev and replied without hesitation, "the troops that can be put into this attack are the tank brigade of general katukov, the mixed regiment that I have drawn from various regiments, and the mixed Cadet regiment that you and political commissar slavkin command. As for what kind of support we can get, I'd like to tell you first. Once the attack starts, commander rokosovsky will order the second cavalry army of the guards to attack from the three occupied residential areas at the same time to cooperate with our actions. "

"How are you going to launch this attack?" Colonel mlakintsev continued.

I looked at the map on the table. Fortunately, when I was waiting for you just now, I asked chisgakov for advice. So I easily pointed out the location of Taiyangshan city and answered, "I plan to take the southwest direction of the city as the breakthrough point for the attack. General katukov's tank brigade will be the first to launch the attack. After the tank troops tear up the enemy's defense line, the mixed regiment, as the second echelon, will quickly catch up and tear the breach even larger. Commander mlakintsev, your mixed Cadet regiment, as the third echelon, you can rush to reinforce when the soldiers are stuck somewhere

"What troops will our division have to fight?" This time it's general leviagin.

"That's how I think about it." as for the troops to be transferred to the war, I had just thought about it. Chengzhu ordered in his heart: "all the 1st Battalion of the 1075 regiment, two companies of the 2nd Battalion of the 1075 regiment, one company of the 3rd Battalion, all the 1st Battalion of the 1077 regiment, one company of the 2nd Battalion, and all the 3rd Battalion. The total force is about 1500. " At this point, I suddenly asked a key question: "which battalion is the closest to Taiyangshan city?"

"Report to division commander," replied captain lomov, who was standing in the back row with the lowest rank, "the position of our battalion is the nearest to Taiyangshan City, which is less than five kilometers away, so that the troops can gather in our battalion's defense area to prepare for attack."

"Is there a forest there?"

"Is that true? Moscow is a city surrounded by forests. There will be forests everywhere. " It was general katukov who had not arrived.

"Hello! General katukov. " Leviagin got up and went forward to shake hands with him.

"Hello, general leviagin, we meet again."

"General katukov, you've come just in time. I'm setting up a combat mission for tonight." I was not polite either. I pointed to captain lomov standing next to him and said, "after the meeting, you will hide the tank brigade in the forest of the captain's defense area and prepare for the attack at night."

"I understand!" Katukov readily agreed.

"Now," I asked, looking around, "who's going to talk about sun mountain? Let's have a clear idea of the attack at night. "

"I'll come," said Captain lomov. Although he was facing a group of commanders with a higher rank than him, he didn't have stage fright at all: "at noon, some citizens of Sun Mountain City fled from the city to the defense area of our camp. According to them: yesterday afternoon, a German Stormtrooper first entered the city, and the defenders in the city withdrew from the city after exchanging fire with them. It was not until the evening that German tanks and large troops were seen entering the city

"Make a rumor! This is just a rumor Lieutenant commander chernugove jumped up and interrupted the captain: "it's impossible. Just a few stormtroopers can drive our defenders out of the city. How can it be? The person who tells you this is probably a German spy. Where are they now? They should be arrested and shot immediately. "“ Enough, comrade commander. Please pay attention to your identity Chisgakov interrupted his deputy commander, "it's not your turn to give orders here. Listen to the division commander continue to assign tasks."“ That's the end of the battle. Everyone immediately went back to the troops, and after drawing out the best troops, they assembled in captain lomov's defense area. Besides being quick, they should also pay attention to air defense when marching, and never be found by the enemy's reconnaissance plane. " Everyone left one after another, but chernugove was still standing there, lingering and refusing to leave. I looked at chernukov suspiciously. "Comrade commander, didn't I make my order clear?"“ That's clear. " He blushed and answered me, and then summoned up the courage to ask: "all the troops have been transferred away. Is there no need to defend here?"“ If we can't drive out all the enemies of Taiyangshan City, we can't defend our defense line with our strength. " Said, waved to him, said: "don't dawdle, go quickly."“ Yes He promised, saluted and turned away. Seeing that katukov, who had just arrived, was going to walk out, I quickly stopped him: "general katukov, please stay. I have something important to discuss with you."
