"Tank division?" When I heard that such a troop was stationed nearby, I could not help but see that the tank division was much better than the tank brigade. General katukov's tank brigade has only about 20 tanks, which can make a rampage in the attack. Even if this tank division has losses, the number of tanks is definitely more than that of my tank brigade. It would be a piece of cake to have them to assist in the attack and destroy the enemy in himkiri.
Thinking of this, I asked bukov curiously, "Comrade captain, since our tank division is stationed nearby, why don't you ask for their help and launch this kind of attack with no chance of winning?"
After listening to my question, bukov replied with a sad face: "Comrade division commander, I also sent someone to contact the tank division, but the other side said that the order they received was to rest in place, and no one had the right to act without the order of the superior. And the leader of the district Soviet gave a death order that I must take Himki back before dark, so I had to harden my head and order the soldiers to attack the enemy in the residential area at all costs. "
"Well, so it is!" I know that he is not only the commander of the militia, even the commander of the regular army, he may not be able to let the tank division send troops. This is the place where Lao maozi is inflexible. Everything has to be done according to the regulations. I don't know how much he will suffer in the rapidly changing battlefield. Originally, it had nothing to do with me, but since it happened, I had to take care of it. So I comforted him and said, "Comrade captain, first stop your attack and set up your defense, so that the enemy on the other side will not attack us in vain. Now I'm going to the tank division to try my luck. You can send a soldier to show us the way
"All right." He readily agreed, called a soldier from the side, let him be responsible for guiding us.
After a few steps, I suddenly heard someone behind me asking, "Comrade battalion commander, what should we do with the wounded lying on the open ground?" When I heard this, my heart beat faster, and my heart said: Yes, there are still many wounded people lying in the corpses in the attacking troops just now. On such a cold day, if we don't treat them in time, it will be very dangerous.
I slowed down and turned slightly to hear what bukov had to say. But bukov did not speak, just sighed deeply. With this sigh, I understand his intention. It's not that I don't want to treat the wounded, but that my heart is more than my strength. The wounded lay in the open, and if they were sent out for rescue, they would be the targets of the German army. I also secretly sigh a breath, this matter I also can't help, can only let these wounded to live and die on their own, this is the war! Since I can't do anything for the wounded, there's no need for me to care about what bukov will do. I just need to speed up and keep up with the leading soldiers.
We walked in the forest for about a quarter of an hour before we met a soldier on guard. His vigilance is very high. As soon as he sees us appear, he immediately dodges behind a tree, raises his gun to aim at us and asks us who we are.
Yushchenko quickly reported our identity and explained his intention. Then he put down his gun and came out from behind the tree. After saluting me, he reported that the tank division was stationed nearby and took the initiative to lead us.
After walking for a few minutes, the soldier stopped, pointed to a wooden house more than ten meters away and said, "Comrade commander, the headquarters of the tank division is there. Do you want me to inform you?"
"No, I'll just go in myself. Go back to your duty
"Yes The soldier agreed, saluted and turned to leave.
Seeing that there was no sentry at the door of the cabin, I couldn't help sneering. I said that the commander of the tank division was too shameful. There were no soldiers standing guard at the door of the headquarters. If the enemy attacked me, I would not be killed. As I thought about it, I pushed open the wooden door.
There were many people in the room, sitting around a long wooden table discussing something. Seeing me as an uninvited guest, everyone immediately calmed down. A commander with no hat and bandages on his head was sitting with his back to the door. When he saw that everyone was looking behind him, he turned his head strangely.
At the moment when he turned around, I had seen his badge clearly. It was a commander. So I stepped forward, raised my right hand to salute him, and politely asked: "Hello, commander! Who is the commander of the highest position here
He stood up, walked up to me, and did not return a gift. He looked me up and down, and asked impatiently, "which part are you from? What's the matter with you coming to my headquarters?"
"Comrade commander!" Yushchenko stood next to me again and introduced to the other side: "this is oshanina, the commander of the eighth division of our guards. Because of her bravery and outstanding results, comrade Stalin personally promoted her to the rank of major general today. " After a short pause, he said in a very impolite tone: "according to the regulations, comrade commander, you should salute Mr. o'shanina."
After hearing Yushchenko's words, all the people sitting in the room stood up. The commander standing in front of me stepped back half a step, then raised his hand to salute and said aloud, "Comrade General, commander Sergei buniachenko, chief of staff of the 389th tank division, reports to you that the troops are resting and waiting for your instructions!"
My eyes swept through the crowd in the room, and I didn't find anyone with a higher rank than him, so I couldn't help asking, "what about the division commander, deputy division commander and political commissar?" The chief of staff, with a red eye, replied in a low voice, "all sacrificed!"“ All sacrificed? " The answer surprised me so much that I asked, "what's going on?"“ Our division originally went to reinforce klin. On the way, we suddenly received an order saying that klin had been lost. Let's turn to the green city to the north of Himki and launch and organize defense there. The day before yesterday, under the cover of aircraft, tanks and artillery, the bandits launched a fierce attack on green city. With the cooperation of the defenders, our Division launched a counter offensive against the attacking enemy. In order to prevent the enemy from advancing to Moscow, our division made great sacrifices in the two days of fighting and lost more than 160 tanks. The division commander, deputy division commander and political commissar died in this battle. "“ Ah I was surprised by the news. More than 160 tanks were lost, so this tank division is almost completely destroyed. Can we expect them to provide support for the troops attacking Himki? I took a deep breath and asked with a fluke: "have all the tanks been lost? Is there none left? "“ No, We still have six intact t-34s, ready to fight at any time. "
