Chapter 207

"Only six tanks?" Hearing this number, I was a little disappointed, but immediately relieved, six on six, better than none. With the support of tanks, the militiamen annihilation battalion has a much higher chance of recapturing Himki.

Before I could explain my intention, commander buniachenko asked me to sit down. I went to the table, picked up the nearest seat and sat down. I looked up at the people in the room. Seeing that they were still standing there, I quickly gestured and said, "don't be so restrained. Let's all sit down."

With these words, I found that the commanders stood upright and did not move, but turned their eyes to buniachenko beside me. Seeing this reaction, I glanced at buniachenko in surprise and frowned slightly. Bunia Chenko looked at me and found my displeasure. He quickly sat down, raised his hands and pressed them down. He nodded to his subordinates and said, "since Comrade General has given orders, let's sit down." At his command, the commanders sat down in unison.

I turned to Yushchenko, who was standing by the door, to ask him to find a place to sit down. Unexpectedly, he saluted me first and said, "Sir, there is no one standing guard outside the room. I'll arrange the security work first." I'm very satisfied with Yushchenko's performance. It's the people who come from the Ministry of internal affairs. What they consider is comprehensive. So I nodded in agreement. Seeing that I didn't object, he turned and waved his head at grissa, the militia leading the way and the two soldiers of the guard company. They immediately understood and followed him out of the room and closed the door.

Seeing Yushchenko and several of them leave, commander buniachenko coughed and asked, "tell me about it! Comrade commander, do you have any instructions for coming here? "

I coughed and cleared my throat. Instead of answering his question directly, I asked, "Comrade chief of staff, before we came here, did any comrades from the militia annihilation battalion come to you and ask you to help them attack the enemy?"

"Yes." He gave me a positive answer: "there were two people here, and the one in charge of communication was a captain. He was carrying a soldier in civilian clothes. He said that they belong to the himmji militia annihilation camp. They have received orders from their superiors and are ready to fight back against the German army of himmji. I hope we can cooperate with them. "

"You refused their request?" I asked grimly.

"Yes, I refused their request."

Hearing his reply, I was very angry, but I couldn't show it. Although my rank was higher than that of him, he was not under my jurisdiction after all, so I just asked, "why? Comrade chief of staff

Buniachenko shrugged his shoulders and replied: "our division has been ordered to stay here to rest and wait for the reserves to supplement us. According to the regulations, in the absence of orders from the higher authorities, we can only stand by

Regulations are regulations again. As soon as I heard this word, I felt headache. I secretly scolded Lao maozi for being dull in his work and not knowing how to adapt to circumstances. No wonder less than half a year after the beginning of the war, the Soviet Union was defeated and retreated under the fierce German offensive, a large area of territory was occupied, and millions of troops were eliminated.

Although I tried my best to control my emotions, I still couldn't help raising my voice and asked, "Comrade chief of staff, if I order you to send troops to help the militia drive away the enemy who is in Himki, will you obey my order?"

As soon as buniachenko was about to answer, the door rang, attracting everyone's attention. I also turned to see that it was captain Yushchenko who came in from the outside. He closed the door and walked behind me without saying a word. When bunyachenko saw Yushchenko standing behind me, he said, "Comrade General, this may not work. What I have received is an order from the headquarters of the front army. Therefore, even if your rank is higher than mine, I can't obey your order. Please forgive me!"

It turns out that their division is under the direct command of the headquarters of the front army, so it's easy to do. Based on my friendship with Zhukov, this unit can be under my command with just one phone call. So I looked at buniachenko with a slight upturned mouth and a smile on my face: "Comrade chief of staff, is the communication between you and the headquarters of the front army smooth? I'd like to speak to commander General Zhukov in person. "

"I'm sorry, Comrade General." Buniachenko's reply surprised me: "in yesterday's battle, our division suffered a heavy loss, almost completely annihilated. After receiving the order for the front army to retreat and recuperate, the army encountered enemy air strikes on the way to the transfer, and the communication vehicle was destroyed, resulting in the interruption of our contact with our superiors. "

After listening to buniachenko, I frowned and lost contact with my superiors, which meant that in a short period of time, they could not receive new orders at all and could only rest in the same place. But without the cooperation of tank troops, it would be a fool's dream to win back Himki only by the poorly equipped militia with poor combat effectiveness. What shall I do? My brain is turning rapidly. How can I think of a way to have the best of both worlds?

Just when I was in a dilemma, Captain Yushchenko's voice suddenly sounded behind me: "Comrade lieutenant colonel, since division commander oshanina is the commander with the highest rank here, she can completely decide the action of the army."

Yushchenko's words attracted everyone's attention in the past. Hearing Yushchenko's opening to help me out, I suddenly realized that since the troops could not receive orders from their superiors in a short time, I could use my own identity to deploy troops. Buniachenko gave Yushchenko a serious look. Maybe he was dissatisfied with his sudden interruption. Then he looked at me and asked me impolitely, "Comrade General, who is the captain behind you?" Half sideways, I introduced Yushchenko's identity to him: "chief of staff, this is my security company commander, Captain Yushchenko from the Ministry of interior." After listening to my introduction, Bunia Chenko looked at Yushchenko thoughtfully, then nodded and said, "well, that's OK. Now that the captain from the Ministry of interior has spoken, your rank is the highest here, then the troops will follow your command. " Although his words are high sounding, I can hear a trace of irony in his words. I didn't care about the tone of his speech. Just as I wanted to stand up and issue the order for the troops to leave, a major sitting opposite me had taken the lead in standing up and challenging me. His tone was particularly impolite: "Comrade General, I don't know how you got this rank, but I want to know if you have personally participated in the battle at the front line?"
