Chapter 191

Sleeping soundly, I felt someone gently shaking my body in the hazy, and kept shouting: "Comrade teacher, comrade teacher, wake up..."

I opened my eyes in a daze and saw that the person standing in front of the bed calling me was chisgakov. Knowing that he was calling me at this time, he must have something important to ask me, so I sat up slowly and asked weakly, "what time is it now?"

"It's just past six!" Chisgakov may feel a little uneasy about waking me up in advance, for fear that I would be angry with him. So with these words, he instinctively stepped back two steps, and said cautiously: "Comrade commander, comrade commander, I have a call to ask you to answer it in person."

Oh, I didn't get up to answer the phone immediately. I just put my feet on the ground and rubbed my face with both hands. I wanted to get rid of drowsiness as soon as possible, so that I could quickly recover to a sober state. I know that rokosovsky's call at this time is most likely related to the war in Taiyangshan City, so I asked chisjakov, who was standing far away: "is there any war in the direction of Taiyangshan city?"

"The gunfire in the direction of sun mountain city stopped half an hour ago. It is estimated that the battle is over. But whose hand is the city? Because the scouts we sent haven't come back yet, we don't have exact information for the time being. "

I got up again, quickly walked to the table, picked up the microphone on the table, and said hello to rokosovsky: "Hello, comrade commander. Is there any good news for me? "

"Rita!" Rokosovsky called my name and told me in a heavy voice: "maybe what I bring you is bad news. In tonight's offensive action, I can offer you very limited help. After a whole day's bloody battle, our army still failed to stop the crazy attack of the bandits. The three settlements of sville chikovo, Sheri shevo and martenovo, which were once occupied, have been taken back by the enemy. At present, the 2nd cavalry of the close guard retreated three kilometers backward, occupied a new defensive position and launched. In today's battle, we have inflicted heavy losses on the attacking enemies, who barely rushed into the residential areas after almost stepping on their own corpses. "

The last few words of rokosovsky were directly ignored by me. The loss of residential areas means that they are lost, and it is useless to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy. Moreover, in my impression, the combat effectiveness of the enemy and ourselves is quite different. Even if the Soviet Army belongs to the defensive side, its casualties are bound to be far greater than those of the German army. I didn't go along with him. Instead, I asked a question I was most concerned about: "are the buildings in these three settlements seriously damaged?"

"The buildings in the residential area, after the enemy's aircraft bombardment, almost a complete building survived." When he said that, he suddenly asked me curiously, "Rita, what do you want to do with this?"

Instead of answering his question directly, I asked, "commander, do you find that it's cooling outside today?"

I have said that to this extent, but rokosovsky still didn't come back and asked me: "I know the temperature has dropped today, and the drop is quite large. But what does it have to do with asking if the buildings in the residential area are complete? "

I sighed in secret. I didn't expect that such a smart man like rokosovsky could not guess the meaning of this sentence. I could only explain to him: "if all the buildings in the residential area occupied by the enemy are destroyed, they can only spend the night in the ruins tonight. Can you imagine what would happen to the German guy who lacks winter clothes and is thinly dressed and stays in the open ground all night in the cold weather here? "

As a future marshal and famous strategist, rokosovsky's reaction speed is indeed faster than that of ordinary people. He immediately understood what I wanted to express and said excitedly: "I understand that although they occupied several residential areas temporarily, there is no house for them to hide in for warmth and shelter. They can only stay in those ruins. In the cold weather here, they would all go to hell in one night. Don't worry, Rita. I'll immediately assign a task to general puliev. As soon as the war starts on your side, I'll order his troops to counterattack the residential areas and actively coordinate your attack. "

I put down the phone and told chisgakov, who was standing in front of me with bright eyes, "Comrade Colonel, please arrange for grissa to heat up the car. I'll go to the place where the troops are assembled immediately to have a look."

As chisgakov left, I sat down on the table. Although I was full of confidence in front of others, the closer I left the war, the more insecure I was. You know, I don't have a complete set of plans at all, I don't know the enemy's deployment, and I don't even know the situation of my own troops. The fact that my subordinates can make preparations according to my orders is not to be convinced of my command, but a habit of obedience developed under strict military discipline.

When the mood calmed down, he quickly went back to the camp bed, pulled up the curtain, took off his uniform skirt, and put on the thick trousers that chisjakov had brought me. As soon as the change was completed, I heard the Colonel calling me at the gate of the headquarters: "Comrade division, the car is ready. We can start at any time."

"Here it is! Here we are I was running out with my belt on.

Just ran to the door, was ready to open the curtain to go out, heard the telephone ring, I quickly stopped, want to find out what is the matter. The communication staff officer on duty picked up the phone, then handed it to me and said, "Comrade division commander, it's general katukov. He's looking for you in an emergency."

When I heard that katukov was looking for me, I could not help feeling flustered. I was worried that there would not be any problem with his tank troops. His troops were the main force in tonight's attack. I took the microphone and nervously asked, "Hello, Comrade General! Can I help you? "“ Report to Mr. division chief, after the emergency repair just now, the car radio stations of eight tanks have been repaired. In this way, I can command the troops directly through the radio station. "“ That's great. " This is really good news. One of the problems that bothered me was solved. I beamed happily and immediately said loudly to the microphone, "Comrade General, this is really great! I'll be with you in a minute. We'll talk about it when we meet. "
