Chapter 192

Chisgakov led me to the parking lot. Far away, I saw someone standing straight in front of the car. I thought it was grissa, the driver, who was still laughing in my heart that he was too stupid to stay in the car on such a cold day, and ran outside the car foolishly to drink. Approaching, I found that it was not grissa who was standing in front of the car, but Lt. Col. chernukov. I went up to him, stopped, and asked curiously, "commander chernuggoff, what are you doing standing in front of my car instead of staying in your battalion command post?" After saluting me, he replied, "report to division commander, my troops have been transferred by you to prepare for the attack. I'm waiting for you here to join you in the battle. "“ I'll go there with colonel chisjakov. You'd better stay Seeing his disappointment, I pointed to the direction of the regiment headquarters to comfort him and said, "Comrade commander, although you can't go to the front, you still have more important things to do. Commander chisgakov and I went to the front. As deputy commander, you are in charge of the 1073 regiment during his absence. Do you understand? " Instead of answering me immediately, chernukov turned his eyes to chisgakov. The colonel said to him in a non-negotiable tone, "don't you understand the orders of the division commander, commander? I now order you: turn back, headquarters of the target regiment, march together Chernukov agreed wrongly, obeyed his command, turned and walked to the regiment headquarters. The moon is very big and round tonight. Even if you don't turn on the lights, you can see the road clearly. After driving forward for a few minutes, a marching army appeared on the side of the road. Chisjakov, who was sitting in the front row, turned to me and said, "Comrade division, these are all soldiers of the mixed Cadet regiment. During the meeting just now, I heard their commander, Lieutenant Colonel mlakintsev, say that yesterday they received additional troops and equipment from the headquarters of the front army. At present, there are 2500 soldiers in the regiment, and most of the soldiers are equipped with the latest submachine guns. " I can't help sweating when I heard chisjakov's introduction. It seems that my ability is too poor. At most, I'm only suitable to be a company commander. I don't have the qualification to be a senior commander at all. During the meeting just now, I simply said hello to lieutenant colonel mlakintsev and political commissar slavkin. Without even asking about the troop and equipment of the regiment, I hastily gave them operational orders. If I had known that they had such a large number of troops and excellent equipment, I should have let their regiment follow the tanks and attack the defenders of Taiyangshan city directly. Captain lomov's camp is in a forest. As soon as the car drove along the easy road into the forest, I could see the figures shaking inside. The more cars go in, the more people there are on both sides of the road. It seems that many troops are in place. When the car stopped in front of a big wooden house, chisjakov told me, "here we are, sir. The wooden house ahead is captain lomov's battalion headquarters As soon as we walked into the command post, we were found. The commanders all around the room raised their hands to salute me. I raised my hand to my forehead and touched it as a gift. Then I went directly to general leviakin in the crowd and asked aloud, "where is general katukov?"“ I'm here. " Katukov's voice came from the room. I looked around, but I didn't see him. I was wondering what was going on when leviagin pulled away from the crowd and pulled me to the table. I saw that there was a walkie talkie on the desk, and katukov's voice came from here. I picked up the receiver and asked curiously, "general katukov, where are you?"“ I'm in my tank, testing the car radio“ That's great. "Knowing that I can talk to the tank directly through walkie talkie now, I'm in a particularly good mood:" in this way, after the battle starts, we can adjust our strategy according to the change of the enemy's situation. " Before I finished, katukov added, "Comrade division commander, I just got the information from the scout in front. The German army is in the south of the city, which is the direction we are going to attack. They have assembled about 40 tanks."“ Ah? When did the enemy's tanks assemble? " This unexpected news made my heart hang. The enemy has so many tanks. Once the fight starts, katukov's tank brigade will be in danger“ It entered the city at noon. But it's strange that these tanks didn't fight with our army for residential areas. They just stopped in the city without any action. " I thought for a moment, and then told katukov my bold guess: "Comrade General, don't worry. According to what you said, these tanks should have no oil or ammunition. Now they're standing there, waiting for you to shoot. In a few hours, you will personally lead the tank brigade to attack and break them into piles of burning scrap iron. "
