Chapter 199

Although Yushchenko only took over so many soldiers, he just glanced at them casually, without any joy on his face, and then turned to me and asked, "Comrade division, what's our next task?"

"Sir?! Is she a teacher When the new group of soldiers heard what he called me, they were surprised and began to whisper.

"Be quiet, everyone be quiet!" I stopped the private talk of the soldiers and looked around. There was no sound of intensive gunfire in the city. As long as there were sporadic gunshots and the occasional explosion of grenades, it seemed that our offensive battle was coming to an end.

Almost without thinking, I said to Yushchenko, "Comrade captain, take these soldiers along the street to carry out the search task. If you encounter residual enemies, you can catch them alive, if you can't catch them alive, you can eliminate them all."

"But we are all gone. Who will guarantee your safety?" Although he heard my order, Yushchenko didn't carry it out immediately. He still kept his duty in mind and specially reminded me.

I waved my hand and said, "don't worry, there are still seven or eight soldiers responsible for protecting me."

He looked at the soldiers standing around me and thought that the security force was enough to ensure my safety, so he gave me a military salute, and then yelled, "come with me!" After shouting, he ran along the street. When he heard his shouting, both the new soldiers and his original subordinates ran behind him. In addition to me and the guards, there were several soldiers who came out of the church and were dressing their wounds.

When I saw Yushchenko's troops go away, I said to a few guards: "go, let's go back to the communication car." Just about to take a step, a voice came from overhead: "Comrade commander, what shall we do?"

Looking up, it turned out that a tank soldier came out of the turret and was looking at me pitifully, waiting for my order. I looked at the troops disappearing in the night and thought that Yushchenko might encounter the enemy's small troops in front of them. With the help of tanks, they would be easier to deal with. So I told him, "Comrade tank soldiers, follow the troops in front and cover them to eliminate the enemy."

"Yes The tank soldiers saluted me and got into the tank.

I took a few soldiers back to the parking position of the communication car, let them serve as the guard, I got on the car alone. When I saw major dolov in the car, I asked, "Comrade major, what's the situation in the city?"

"Report, sir!" With an irrepressible smile on his face, he replied, "Colonel chisjakov and lieutenant colonel mlakintsev have successively reported that the city has almost been occupied by us, and they have not met the fierce resistance of the enemy. At present, the troops are cleaning up the latent enemy in the city."

I guessed this situation as early as I heard that there was no fierce gunfire in the city, so I didn't feel surprised at all. I was concerned about whether the troops sent by rokosovsky had entered the city, so I specially asked, "have you contacted the commander? Where is the cavalry of general priev who is cooperating with us? "

Just then, a soldier sitting in front of the walkie talkie turned his head and said in a loud voice, "report to the division commander, comrade commander wants to speak to you!"

I quickly stepped forward, took the earphone and microphone handed by the soldier, and said aloud: "Hello, comrade commander!"

"Rita!" Rokosovsky's voice sounds a little hoarse: "what's the situation on your side?" Without waiting for my reply, he went straight on and said, "after fierce fighting, general priyev's cavalry has recovered three residential areas. Originally, according to the plan, they should attack quickly to cooperate with your counterattack against Taiyangshan City, but now there is something wrong, and the cavalry has to withdraw from the battle immediately."

"What's the matter?" I asked in surprise

He replied with a heavy tone: "we have just received a telegram from the front army that the German army has captured the red village in the daytime and is ready to deploy long-range artillery there to bombard the Kremlin. So Zhukov ordered us to fight back against the enemy who occupied the red village at all costs, even if we could not completely eliminate them, we should drive them out of the village. At present, I don't have many troops that I can mobilize, so I have to transfer the most effective cavalry out. " At this point, he stopped for a moment, and then reminded me: "if your division's counterattack against Taiyangshan city is not smooth, you should immediately stop the attack and dispatch troops to take part in the counterattack of Hongcun."

I coughed, cleared my throat, and then calmly replied, "Comrade commander, please rest assured that our division's counterattack against Taiyangshan city is very smooth. After the fighting, the troops have occupied the whole city and are now cleaning up the remnant enemy. "

"What?" Rokosovsky asked in an unbelievable voice: "has the city been occupied? Is there no mistake? "

"No mistake, comrade commander!" I answered him positively, "I'm in sun mountain city right now, and I've just been in a small battle."

"Great! Great I was not in the communication car just now. Major dulov didn't dare to take over the task, so he didn't report the war situation in time. Now when he heard my good news, rokosovsky got excited. He said excitedly, "I'll report the good news to Comrade Zhukov right away." Then he reminded me: "report the name list of the commanders who took part in this battle immediately, and I will ask for credit for them!"

As early as when I arranged the combat mission, I had memorized the names of all the commanders participating in the war. When I heard rokosovsky say so, I quickly dictated the list of these people to him. While recording, he said: "these commanders are heroes. I want to ask for credit for them. In addition to the medals, they can also get a higher rank. "
