Chapter 224

As soon as my voice fell, buniachenko's loud voice rang out in the call channel: "all the captains, listen to my command: spread out, shoot freely, and break through at the right time!"

The commissar also heard about the difficulties faced by the 389th tank division. He said anxiously, "Rita, Colonel buniachenko, they are very dangerous. We should help them."

I secretly complained that if general katukov's close guard tank brigade was here, I could send him to reinforce and rescue them. But now I can command only a few thousand infantry, let the infantry fight tanks in the open field, isn't that driving sheep into the tiger's mouth?

But when our troops are in danger, they can't wait for help. I held the microphone for a few minutes, then looked down at the signalman and said, "connect me to the anti tank battalion of the 389th tank division." Up to now, we have to be a living horse doctor. Now the nearest one to the battlefield is major malafeyev's anti tank artillery battalion. Let's see if he can provide some help and save one vehicle. Besides, major malafeyev is originally a subordinate of buniachenko. He can't be helpless to his superior.

I spoke to malafeyev very quickly. Without any nonsense, I gave him an order directly: "Comrade major, Colonel buniachenko's tank troops are ambushed by the German army. It is possible that the whole army will be destroyed. Now, as a teacher, I order you to send a capable force to the rescue immediately. "

Malafeyev listened to my command and kept silent instead of saying anything. I was very unhappy to hear that the other party did not speak for a long time, so I accentuated and said, "what? Comrade major, are you going to die without help? "

"No, sir! You are mistaken, "he explained to me." our anti tank guns are not self-propelled guns. They are all drawn by animal power. If we have to go to such a long distance to reinforce, if we meet German tanks head-on, we will be wiped out by the enemy before we launch. "

When I heard him say that, I had no choice but to tell him to keep a close watch on the front. Once we find our army's tanks breaking through the encirclement, we should immediately provide firepower cover to stop the enemy tanks chasing behind, so as to ensure the safe escape of our army's tanks.

Originally, the tank division was surrounded and faced with the total annihilation, which was enough to make me upset. Unexpectedly, rokosovsky called me again and said that Zhukov had agreed to assign two infantry battalions and an artillery regiment to me, and now he has arrived at the headquarters of the group army. As the group army intends to organize counter attacks in the hagriyaqi area, these forces are now under the command of general kazakov and deputy chief of staff Orel. Finally, he told me that there would be no reinforcements for the time being, but the sun mountain city must be held at all costs, otherwise, what is waiting for me is the trial of the military court.

After talking with rokosovsky on the phone, I felt a sudden tightness in my heart, just like being stabbed by someone. First, I felt tingling all over, then I felt cold and weak all over. My hand trembled uncontrollably, the microphone slipped from my hand, and my whole body collapsed on the ground.

"What's the matter with you?" Asked the commissar with concern, he helped me to the table and sat down with the two men, chisjakov and sherebriakov, who had just come in. I sat in my chair with a wry smile and looked at the political commissar and said, "Comrade political commissar, just now the commander informed me that the two infantry battalions and an artillery regiment originally assigned to our division have been transferred to general kazakov and deputy chief of staff o'lear to join the counter assault of the Canadian group army in the Hagrid Aceh area."

"What?" Hearing this news, the political commissar also confused: "without reinforcements, can this Taiyangshan city be held?"

I said with a wry smile, "if I can't keep it, I have to keep it. I have a military order. Even if I fight to the last person, I will never give up the sun mountain city." Then I grabbed the phone on the desk, shook the handle a few times, heard the voice of the operator, I immediately said: "I'm Mr. o'shanina, get me major Kuleshov right away."

When I got through, I first identified myself and then issued a series of operational orders: "major Kuleshov, there is an anti tank gun position in the forest ahead of you on your left. You should immediately send a company's troops to take up the guard task and ensure the safety of the anti tank battalion at all costs. And after two days of shelling, there must be many craters in front of your position, right?! Some soldiers will be sent to carry burning bottles, anti tank mines and other weapons, lurking in these craters, waiting for the enemy's tanks to come near and destroy them. "

"I understand. I'll do it right away." Then he complained to me: "Comrade division commander, after that round of shelling just now, the casualties of our battalion have been solved by one third. Now if so many troops are deployed to leave, there will not be many defensive forces left."

"I see. Your reinforcements will be here soon."

I immediately asked the operator to call major Xie Dulin, the head of the 1075 regiment, and told him straightforwardly, "Comrade head, there are not many troops left in the second battalion. Now I order you that your regiment, in addition to the necessary guard forces, assign all the troops that can be transferred to the second battalion, and firmly guard the line of defense. "

All the arrangements were finished, and the communication channel was transferred back to buniachenko. I only heard the fierce explosion and all kinds of shouts from the headphones. From these sounds, I knew that from time to time the enemy's tanks were hit, but at the same time our army's tanks were destroyed. Because our tanks are better in armor and firepower than the German, after the initial chaos, although they are still surrounded by the enemy, they are hard to separate.

Buniachenko's voice suddenly came back: "the tanks that rush out of the encirclement immediately seize the favorable terrain, cover the remaining tanks with fire, and then the troops cover the retreat alternately." Hearing that he was conducting the battle in an orderly way, I felt that the situation was not as pessimistic as I thought, and the big stone hanging in my heart was down again. Perhaps the commissar saw a relaxed expression on my face and quickly asked with concern, "Rita, what's the matter?"“ At present, a part of Comrade Colonel's tank troops has come out and is seizing the favorable terrain to cover the remaining tanks to break through the encirclement. "“ That's good, "said the political commissar with a sigh of relief." at present, our troops have few anti tank weapons. If there are no more tanks, we are really helpless in the face of the fierce attack of enemy tanks. " The channel switched to malafeyev's anti tank gun position, and I asked the major, "how's it going?"“ Report to Mr. division commander, "he replied aloud," from me, we have seen several tanks of our army protruding from the enemy's encirclement. They have seized the favorable terrain and are shooting at the enemy. " Malafeyev's words gave us all a reassurance and relaxed our depressed mood. Although the enemy has set a trap for us to drill through, judging from the performance of the tank division, it is entirely possible to turn defeat into victory, and even lead these ambushed tanks into the range of the anti tank guns and annihilate them with the firepower of the artillery. However, the greater the hopes, the greater the disappointments. When we have no doubt about the tank division's safe breakthrough, the sudden changes occur. There was a sudden explosion in the earphone. I frowned and asked aloud, "Comrade major, what's the matter with the gunfire?" But in addition to the sound of explosions one after another, malafeyev's voice was not heard. I was a little impatient, raised my voice and cried, "Hello! Hello! Major marafeyev, what's the matter? Where's the shooting? " My shouts led to the political commissars who had been sitting at the table drinking tea. They gathered around, just like me, anxiously waiting for major malafeyev's reply. After a long time, malafeyev's confused voice came again from his earphone: "Comrade division, the enemy has started shelling. Except for a few tanks, the rest of the tanks have been cut off by the enemy's artillery fire."“ Has Mr. buniachenko's tank retreated? " I couldn't wait for him to finish, because at this moment, the word "Russian Liberation Army" suddenly appeared in my mind. Although I can't remember the specific leader of this army, buniachenko should be one of them, so his whereabouts at this moment has become my most concerned problem. Malafeyev was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "no, only nine tanks were withdrawn, among which there was no tank of division buniachenko." Hearing the news that buniachenko's whereabouts were unknown, the atmosphere in the headquarters suddenly became depressed and dreary. No one spoke, only a few people's heavy and rapid breathing could be vaguely heard. After a long silence, I sighed in my heart. I looked up at these extremely complicated commanders and said faintly, "when it's too dark, I'll immediately send scouts to the battlefield to search for the whereabouts of Colonel buniachenko. I want to see people alive or dead."
