Chapter 202

"Shao, major general rank?! I was promoted to the rank of major general I was so nervous that my tongue was tied up that I even stuttered. I couldn't help glancing at general leviagin and political commissar yegorov, who were not far away. They looked at each other in surprise. When they looked at me again, their faces showed a tacit smile, and there was an obvious envy in my eyes.

I stabilized my mood for a while. The first thing I thought was that Zhukov might have made a mistake, so I cautiously checked with him and said, "Comrade General! You just said that Comrade Stalin personally promoted me to the rank of Colonel, right

"I said, Rita, how can you hear so badly when you are young?" Zhukov murmured discontentedly: "I repeat, it's an exception to promote you to the rank of major general. Before you, only Comrade Petrovsky of the 63rd infantry army had ever received such an honor. In order to commend him for leading the army to bravely and tenaciously recapture the great achievements of Lu ribin and Luo jiaqifu, comrade Stalin directly promoted him from a colonel to a lieutenant general. "

When I heard Zhukov's introduction, I immediately remembered the image of the commander, tall and thin, with two beards and a face of vicissitudes. Because of his outstanding military achievements, he was soon appointed commander of the group army. However, in order to organize the troops to break the siege of the German army, he resolutely postponed his appointment and led the soldiers to attack the German army. Finally, he died in the battle. However, when I think of the hero's short-lived general career, I feel a little unhappy about Zhukov's idea of comparing me with him.

When I was murmuring in my heart, Zhukov asked, "what measures have you taken after taking back Taiyangshan city?"

I quickly stopped thinking and concentrated on answering, "report commander, after taking back Taiyangshan City, I divided the defense areas for the regiments and ordered them to use the terrain to build a large number of strong fortifications to prepare for the enemy's possible attack. In addition, although the city is in our hands, the three settlements of sville chikovo, Sheri shevo and martenovo in the southwest are still occupied by the remnants of the enemy forces. Therefore, without affecting the overall defense force, I will dispatch troops from each regiment to form a temporary force under the command of chisjakov, with general katukov's tank brigade as the leader, to attack and assault the enemy in the residential areas, cooperate with the attack of friendly forces, and strive to seize the residential areas from the enemy in the shortest time. "

"Your plan is good, so go ahead and carry it out right away." Zhukov agreed with my new combat plan very much. After a few words of praise, he added: "however, your division's attack speed must be fast. If you can't solve the enemy quickly, once the enemy sends out planes and tanks, you will become passive, and the whole attack plan will be in danger of being abandoned."

"Understand, once the attack begins, I will order general katukov and Colonel chisgakov to speed up the attack and try to get the settlement back from the enemy in the shortest time."

"This is the best..." after listening to me, Zhukov mumbled a lot, and finally told me: "after the recovery of the residential areas, you will transfer your position to your deputy general leviyakin and political commissar yegorov, and then you will come to the headquarters of the front army."

At Zhukov's command, I thought there was something good waiting for me, so I agreed very simply: "yes!"

Break off contact, leviagin and yegorov came over. In his excited voice, yegorov asked, "Comrade teacher! Is this all true? Comrade Stalin personally promoted you to the rank of major general? "

Although I tried to keep calm, the corners of my mouth still turned up and grinned. But in front of his subordinates, he always wanted to maintain a good image, so he forced himself to keep a straight face, smile indifferently, and answered, "yes, this is what general Zhukov, the commander of the front army, said personally. I believe it can't be wrong!"

After receiving my affirmative answer, leviagin and yegorov immediately said with one voice: "I congratulate you! Congratulations on your rank as a general. " And reach out to me. I shook hands with them one by one and said thank you.

After shaking hands with them, the signalmen on duty also gathered around and congratulated me one after another. With a smile on my face, I shake hands with such cadres and soldiers one by one, and thank them for their heartfelt congratulations.

Two minutes before eleven o'clock, general katukov and Colonel chisgakov called at the same time to report to me that the troops were ready, and to congratulate me on getting the rank of general. After thanking them, I told them to move fast and fiercely after the battle, so as to solve the battle in the shortest time.

The battle started on time. I stayed in the headquarters waiting for news. Although there have been friendly forces attacking the three residential areas to be captured, which contain a large number of German troops, it is a bit of a sense to attack from the rear of the German army at this time, but the battle can not be ended in a short time. I have commanded so many battles, and the tactics I used are extremely simple. I only use tank troops to assault first, and then send infantry to catch up after breaking through the enemy's lines, so as to expand the breakthrough. Can this tactic be effective in attacking these three settlements? Once the attack fails, the battle is deadlocked, and the German forces are mobilized to attack Taiyangshan city again, can we hold the city with our limited forces and imperfect defensive positions? The worry in my heart makes me uneasy. I walked about the room anxiously with my hands behind my back, so that I didn't hear yegorov tell me to sit down twice.

After walking around the room for a long time, I stopped and asked yegorov, "Comrade political commissar, what time is it now? Have you heard from general katukov and Colonel chisgakov? " Yegorov gave me a strange look, looked down at his watch, then raised his head and said to me, "Comrade division, the battle has just started for seven minutes. It is estimated that it will be a while before the news of the battle comes." Seven minutes?! I feel like I've been walking back and forth in the room with my hands on my back for several hours. How can it be so short? I sighed and continued to circle the room with my hands behind my back. I don't know how long it took, the phone in the room finally rang. As soon as I turned my head to look at the phone, I found that leviagin, who had been guarding the phone, had grabbed the phone and said aloud, "I'm general leviagin. Go ahead, please!" After listening to what the other party said quietly, he covered the microphone with his hand and reported to me: "Comrade division commander, Colonel chisgakov's phone call said that the troops have successfully occupied the two residential areas of sverqikovo and shelyshevo, and are now moving towards the final residential area of martenovo." Hearing the good news, I can't help but feel relieved. Just as I was about to speak, the political commissar sitting at the table had already spoken first: "Comrade General, are you sure that what Colonel chisjakov said is true? It's only ten minutes since the beginning of the battle. According to the normal speed of the March, our troops have just arrived at these two settlements in such a short period of time at best. What's more, only after fighting can we seize the settlements from the enemy. " The political commissar's skepticism made leviagin hesitant. He moved his hand covering the microphone. Just when he wanted to check with chisgakov, I went to him, grabbed the microphone in his hand, and said softly, "Comrade General, I'd better ask myself." He released his hand and the microphone came to me. Although I still feel incredible that they can seize the residential areas so quickly, I don't suspect that they have lied about the military situation as the political commissar did. Under such special circumstances, I dare not take the risk of going to the military court to deceive me. In view of this, I said in a flat tone, "is it Colonel chisgakov? I'm Mr. o'shanina. Please report your situation to me again. " PS: dear readers, I'm very sorry, because there is something wrong with the computer. It was not repaired until yesterday.
