This so-called District People's committee member really doesn't pay attention to me. His contemptuous expression at the corner of his eyes and eyebrows may be deeply felt by the commanders sitting next to him.
My brain almost in a moment will be some congestion, want to raise a fist, hard hit in front of this complacent and flat face. But then I calmed down. Losing my temper naturally didn't help. On the contrary, it was easy to make mistakes. You know, I'm here to command the troops to fight against the German devils, not to fight with the so-called people's committee members.
Bukov did not answer kachevsky's words, but looked at me with worried eyes, waiting for my statement. The captain did not speak, and his commanders did not dare to speak. The arrogant people's committee member originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the strange scene in the tent, he opened his mouth and said nothing, so he closed his mouth obediently.
After a moment's silence, I felt completely calm. Then I turned my eyes to bukov and said, "Comrade captain, since you have agreed with me, let's discuss the details of the attack." Then he turned his eyes to the disgusting member of the people's Committee, bit his back teeth, and said faintly: "comrade, we are going to study military action soon. Because it involves military secrets, non military personnel like you are not suitable to stay here, so please leave on your horse." I know he looks down on me from the bottom of his heart, so I'm not polite to speak to him. Sooner or later, I'll offend him. If I offend him in the end, I'd better get rid of him. In this way, I can get rid of one person's hindrance when making war plans.
"What?" His reaction was not what I expected. After listening to me, he jumped up from his seat and asked aloud, "what did you say? Let me leave at once? " He gasped. "How dare you say that!"
I looked at him contemptuously and said coldly, "I repeat, we are going to discuss the next military action soon. If you have nothing to say, please leave at once!"
"You have no right to drive me!" He waved his fist in front of me and yelled loudly: "I am the people's committee member of the district Soviet. You have no right to prevent me from attending the meeting!"
Be neither humble nor pushy. I replied, "here I am the commander of the highest rank, and I has the final say in military affairs. You'd better leave as soon as you're OK. "
"..." after listening to me, kashevsky's face changed, but he could not speak, but his face became darker and darker. He looked around at the militia commanders sitting around, hoping to get their support. Maybe you all recognized the anger in my heart from my words, and clearly knew that I was dissatisfied with this people's committee member, so they all chose to be silent. As soon as they saw his eyes looking at themselves, they immediately turned their heads away or lowered their heads.
Seeing no one's support, he was a little embarrassed and could only glare at me and say, "I'll sue you to the higher authorities! I'm going to write a report to the district Soviet and the city leaders at once, and let them punish you! "
For his anger, I simply turned a blind eye, just a faint smile and said: "whatever you want! In addition to the two departments you mentioned, you can also write a report to general Zhukov, commander of the Western Front Army, saying that I snorted again. If Yushchenko was around, he would answer this question. But at this time, he was still standing in the jeep far away from the tent, so I had to answer this question myself: "my rank of major general was only obtained a few hours ago, In recognition of the meritorious deeds of my soldiers in defending Moscow, comrade Stalin personally awarded them. "
On the issue of Stalin's promotion to the rank of major general, the commanders of the militia had just heard Yushchenko say that, so their reaction was very flat. Kashevsky almost fell to the ground when he heard that. He was surprised and asked, "is it Comrade Stalin who personally promoted your rank of major general?" Stimulation alone is not enough for a man like kashevsky. To make him give in, he must be completely overwhelmed. The first blow worked very well. The people's committee member shivered and got up at a loss. He stared at me with his pupils dilated.
"Please leave. We are going to have a military meeting soon." I said coldly to him again.
"OK, I'll go right away." Hearing this, he quickly raised his legs and walked out as if he had been pardoned. But as he left the tent, I heard him mutter, "I'm going to write a report right now..."
I looked at his back as he left, hummed softly, and then said to bukov, "Comrade captain, let's study the details of the attack later."
Before sitting down again, bukov asked a little worried: "Comrade division, you will not have any problem in driving out the people's committee members like this, will you?"
"What can he have?" I replied with disapproval, "don't worry about him, comrade captain. What we are going to discuss now is how to get Himki back from the bandits. Now I'm risking my own head. If I can't get it back, even if we haven't sacrificed yet, our fate will go to the military court. " When I said this, I didn't pay attention to the people's committee member who just left, but what I didn't expect was that a report submitted by this little man whom I looked down upon in my heart caused me a lot of trouble and even nearly killed myself.
Because I have just talked with lieutenant colonel bunyachenko, chief of staff of 389 tank division. When his troops arrive, two tanks and division troops will detour to the flank of Himki, while the remaining four tanks will be responsible for providing effective fire support for the militia's frontal feint. So when I assigned the task to bukov, I explained it to him in detail and emphasized that this attack was led by tanks and followed by infantry. Although a frontal attack is to disrupt the feint action deployed by the enemy, once the situation is favorable to our army, the feint will turn into a real attack.
Finally, I added: "it's not necessary to put all the troops of the battalion into attack. It's necessary to leave a company to defend here. Which of you is willing to take the initiative to accept the task? "
As soon as I said that, the atmosphere in the tent became a little tense again. Obviously, everyone saw that this attack was very risky, and whether it would succeed or not was unknown. Several company commanders looked at bukov as if they were waiting for him to take the Charter.
Bukov coughed and said, "comrades, behind us is Moscow. This is the last battle. We can't give up. We must know that the enemy will surely fail." At this point, he frowned and thought about it, then issued an order, saying: "each company will leave a platoon to form a mixed company to take charge of the defense work here. As for the commander of this company. " He looked around and then said with a smile to me, "it's better to direct the work immediately."
I knew that he was afraid that I would follow the soldiers to attack, and that something unexpected would happen, so he proposed that I should stay and command this temporary assembled garrison. I nodded slightly and promised, "OK!"
After getting my affirmative reply, he told the rest of the commanders, "now that the task has been made clear, let's go back to our company and transfer our staff."
The commanders stood up, saluted us and turned away.
When there were only me and bukov left in the tent, I went to the door of the tent, lifted the curtain and looked around. When I saw that there were no idlers waiting around, I went back to the middle of the tent and sat down. I whispered the question I had been hiding in my heart: "Comrade lieutenant, the subway station we met last time is quite far away from here, It should not be your defense area. How can you suddenly appear here and command a militia with poor training and equipment? According to my observation, there is still a big gap between them and the soldiers you used to command. "
After listening to my question, bukov asked with a wry smile: "Sir, do you remember that mysterious subway train?"
"Remember!" How can we forget such things when we can see people who come across the world like ourselves in this era. I sighed and said with some regret, "it's a pity that hundreds of people from the future have died. In addition to on the platform, dozens of people who were killed by the interior ministry and those who got on the truck were all killed by German air strikes. "
"Killed in the air raid?" Bukov was a little surprised and said, "Comrade teacher, who did you listen to? As far as I know, only two trucks carrying passengers were destroyed in the air raid, and the rest were evacuated in a timely manner, so the passengers on board were very safe and did not receive any harm. "
"What?" I was stunned by the news. How could what he said be so different from what Colonel bzikov said? Who is lying. Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking curiously, "so where are those passengers now?"
"The first selected people who have professional expertise and know the riveting and welding technology of vehicle tongs were sent to the yizhevsk machine factory to participate in military production; Other women, children and old people are escorted to the east by the troops of the Ministry of interior. I don't know exactly where they will go. "
Bukov revealed this heavyweight news, shocked me, I fell on the stool, a blank mind, at that moment, I almost stopped thinking. It wasn't until bukov next to me called me several times that I recovered my ability to think. Why is that so? It's clear that most people are safe. Why did Colonel bzikov cheat me that all people were killed in the air raid? What is his purpose in doing so?
I looked at bukov, who was sitting opposite me, and asked tentatively, "so, is it related to your being transferred here to command the militia camp?"
"Yes He gave me a positive answer: "the soldiers who saw the mysterious subway train that day, except those from the interior department, the rest of them have been sent to the front line of Tula, and I," he said with a shrug. "Because of the duty, they were not sent to the front line like ordinary soldiers, but were transferred from the original defense area, Come here to command a makeshift militia battalion. "
When I heard what he said, I seemed to understand that the subway train incident was really incredible. In order to prevent the soldiers from leaking secrets and causing panic, the relevant departments sent everyone to the dangerous front line. As for bukov, the situation is not much better. At least judging from today's situation, he is also a dead man.
Just as we were silent, we heard the roar of a tank motor outside. Then we heard captain Yushchenko's voice outside the tent: "Comrade division, our tanks are coming!"
