When the major finished, there was a complete silence in the whole room. We should all understand that what he said was a provocation to me. So at the moment, no one spoke, and all the people were silently looking at me, trying to see how I dealt with it.
After hearing what he said, I stood up slowly with my hand on the table, just a faint smile, and said, "maybe I should remind you, comrade major, that the war has been breaking out for several months, but what is missing in your uniform?" Then I pointed to the place where the medal was on my chest.
My words made the major's face red, and he immediately hit back and said, "maybe you can take out the medal and let us have a long experience. Comrade General
Hearing what he said, I unbuttoned the white camouflage coat on the outside of the military coat, took it off and threw it on the table. Then I pointed to the dazzling medal hanging on my chest and said calmly, "Comrade major, please look. You can look carefully. The red flag medal and the medal for bravery are genuine, This is an honor awarded to me by the relevant departments at a higher level in recognition of my achievements in the battle. "
The major looked at the medals on my chest and said in surprise, "red flag?"
I snorted. I didn't show a proud look, but nodded silently and said in a sarcastic tone: "in addition to these medals, there are some scars on my body that can prove that I have participated in the battle. Do you want to have a look?" Then I put my finger on the button and tried to untie it.
"Enough, comrade major!" Buniachenko may have seen my displeasure and quickly stood up to resolve the embarrassing situation. He frowned and said gravely to the major, "you know, even in war, it's not easy to get a high rank."
The major blushed and didn't answer. After saluting us both, he sat down again.
Seeing the major sitting down, buniachenko looked back at me and said sincerely, "Comrade General, please give me an order." Then he sat down, too.
I picked up the clothes on the table and put them on again. As I buttoned them, I said solemnly: "comrades, the situation in front of us is very serious. The enemy's vanguard troops have occupied Himki. Just now, the militia annihilation battalion of Himki has launched an attack on the enemy in the residential area. It's a pity that this attack failed because of backward equipment. I am here to ask you to give them the necessary assistance to ensure that we can wipe out the enemy or drive them out of the settlements. I would like to remind you that behind us is the Kremlin. Even if we fight to the last man, we can never let the enemy go any further. "
"But, Comrade General!" It was the major who interrupted me just now. He complained: "there are only 170 people left in our division, and the defense may be barely enough. When it comes to attacking the enemy, please forgive me. Even if the whole division is finished, it will not be able to take Himki back. For us, this is an unfinished task. "
"Pa!" Without waiting for me to refute him, buniachenko next to him slapped the table and stood up. He said angrily, "what if there are only 170 people?"?! In the present situation, we can only attack! When all the soldiers are gone, the commander will fill them in; The commander ran out of money and said, "I'll fill it in!"
"All right! Chief of staff, sit down first. " Although buniachenko said my lines first, I was very satisfied with his attitude, so I patted him on the shoulder and said: "according to the reconnaissance, the enemy forces of Himki are only more than 200 people, only three armored vehicles and a small number of mortars. There are more than 500 soldiers in the militiamen's annihilation battalion. With your troops, we are superior to the enemy in both strength and equipment. Now let's discuss the details of the army's attack. "
Bunyachenko asked a commander to take the map, spread it on the table, pointed to Himki's position and said to me, "Comrade General, please have a look! Surrounded by forests, Himki can only carry out key defense in residential areas with the enemy's strength. My opinion is: in the enemy's key defensive areas, four tanks should be sent to cover the militia for feint attacks; The infantry of our division, under the cover of the other two tanks, went around to the other side of the settlement and beat the enemy from behind. When the enemy understood and wanted to change the direction of defense, the militia units, which had been the task of feint attack, quickly pressed up and cooperated with our division to fight a beautiful war of annihilation. "
After listening to him, I thought the tactics were good, but I didn't immediately express my opinion. Instead, I looked around and asked other commanders, "what do you think of the chief of staff's operational plan?"
"I agree with the chief of staff's operational plan!"
"I agree, too!"“ I agree, too! " Almost everyone expressed support for buniachenko's plan.
"All right then!" This plan coincided with what I thought, so I nodded my head and agreed: "since everyone agrees, then carry out this plan!" Then I said to buniachenko, "Comrade chief of staff, go and assemble your troops! I'll arrange the barracks first. As soon as your troops arrive, we'll launch an attack! "
"Yes Buniachenko stood up and promised to salute me.
"Good luck!" I reached out to shake him and left the headquarters with Yushchenko. As soon as I went out, I saw a jeep parked at the door. Grissa was sitting in the jeep, and two soldiers were standing beside the jeep. Seeing that I was a little surprised, Yushchenko quickly explained to me, "just now I asked grissa to drive the car parked outside the forest. We need to rush to the barracks as soon as possible, or we will miss the plane." I gave Yushchenko a look of approval, then nodded and said, "well, let's get in the car and go back to Himki."
