Chisgakov sighed and said softly, "well, when it's too dark, I'll send a scout over." In spite of these words, we all know that it's just to do our best. There are still seven or eight hours between now and dark. In such cold weather, it's difficult for the wounded lying on the battlefield to persist for more than half an hour.
I sat in a chair with a gloomy face and did not speak. My memory of the "Russian Liberation Army" became more and more clear. I would rather have the spies sent by chisjakov at night to find the cold body of buniachenko on the battlefield than to see the situation that there were no dead or alive. If his body is found, then at least he will have a chance to win the title of "Soviet hero". If he's missing, he's going to be ruined for years.
The commissar came up to me and asked for my opinion in a low voice: "Rita, do you need to report to the commander of the group army about Colonel buniachenko?"
I looked up at the political commissar standing in front of me, shook my head and said, "don't worry, wait until the scout reports the results back in the evening." At this point, I paused, looked at the walkie talkie direction, and said calmly: "inform major marafeyev that their artillery position has been exposed, and it is no longer necessary to stay in the current position. In order to avoid becoming the preferred target of German artillery fire, let them choose the right time to withdraw to the city. We only have this anti tank force left now, but we can't lose it for nothing. "
"All right." The commissar agreed and stood up straight to convey my order to major marafeyev.
Half an hour later, chisgakov reported to me the news from the front line that the German artillery bombardment had ended and their tanks had withdrawn. There was no sign of a new attack for the time being. The remaining tanks of our army and major malafeyev's anti tank artillery battalion were safely withdrawn to the city
I was listening to the report when the phone on the desk in front of me rang. I grabbed the phone and said, "Hello, I'm o'shanina!"
"Rita!" It was rokosovsky who recognized what he was saying. I quickly stood up, straightened up and said respectfully, "Hello! Comrade commander. " When I said this, my heart beat a drum and I thought to myself, who has poked up the issue of buniachenko? So he scanned all the people in the room with dissatisfied eyes.
"Come to my headquarters at once!" When he finished, he hung up without even giving me time to answer.
"Captain Yushchenko!" I yelled at the outside, and then said to the commissar who came by, "the commander told me to go to his headquarters at once. I don't know if it's about Colonel buniachenko. Remember, as soon as it gets dark, send a scout to look for the captain
"All right." The commissar agreed, and when he saw me turn around, he went out and immediately called out, "Rita, the headquarters of the group army is not in Istra now, it has been transferred to rialovo."
"What? Transferred? Why? " I stopped and asked.
"According to intelligence, the first division of enemy tanks, composed of three tank groups, appeared on the right wing of the group army yesterday morning. Although the group army put all the remaining forces into combat, the enemy still used the temporarily dominant forces to force our troops to retreat, so we had to set the headquarters closer and closer to Moscow, And this new choice is in rialovo. "
"I see." I should be a, and continue to go out, my heart even called disorderly, disorderly, it is all disorderly. I remember in the movie, it seems that there is no big battle between December 1 and 6. How can rokosovsky be beaten back step by step? Is it because of the dual needs of politics and propaganda that the director chose to report only good news but not bad news? When I got to the door, I saw Yushchenko standing upright and waiting for my order. I waved my head at him and went straight out. He immediately followed me with understanding.
It was almost 12 o'clock when the car arrived outside rokosovsky headquarters. Seeing my arrival, a duty officer of the headquarters immediately took the initiative to open the door for me and said to me in a low voice, "Comrade division commander, please follow me. The commander has been waiting for you for a long time."
I followed the officer and walked towards the headquarters. I was very familiar with rokosovsky. I should be very calm when I went to see him, but I don't know why. I felt a little flustered from the beginning of the road, and I don't know whether it was because of nervousness or other inexplicable factors.
The headquarters of the group army was set up in a semi underground shelter. The light in the room was very dark, but as soon as I entered the room, I recognized rokosowski among a group of commanders who were studying maps. I quickly stepped forward, raised my hand to salute, and loudly reported: "report commander comrade, major general o'xianingna, commander of the eighth division of Jinwei, has come at your command and is waiting for your instructions!"
Rokosovsky straightened up, beckoned me to a corner of the room, sat down, took a piece of paper from the briefcase hanging on the wall, handed it to me, and said, "look, this is the order sent by general Zhukov."
I picked up the document and looked at it in the light. It read: "from December 2, the eighth division of the guards under the command of major general oshanina will be assigned to the battle sequence of the 20th army. The commander of the front army, Georgi konstantinovich Zhukov. December 2, 1941. "
After reading the order, I stood up, looked at rokosovsky and asked in surprise, "why did senior general put our division under the command of the 20th group army?" Rokosovsky shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I don't know. Maybe the senior general thinks that the assault force of the 20th group army is too weak and needs to be strengthened. You know, other people are the main force in this big counterattack. " I asked wrongly, "what should I do? Do you really want to go to the 20th army? You know, I already have feelings for the 16th army. I'm reluctant to leave here. "“ I'm sorry, Rita Rokosovsky patted me on the shoulder and comforted me, saying, "in fact, I don't want you to leave. With you, we can win more victories that can attract the attention of the supreme commander. But as you can see, it has nothing to do with me. It's an order directly given by general Zhukov. As a subordinate, we can only implement him unconditionally. " Listen to him say so, I didn't say anything, just kept silent. Perhaps because he was afraid that I would be oversensitive, he specially explained to me, "it's my idea to detain the troops that general Zhukov added to you. As you know, the losses of the group army are very great at present, and a lot of replenishment is urgently needed to restore its vitality. " When he said this, I despised him severely in my heart. Maybe you knew that we were going to belong to the 20th army, so you took the troops that were added to our division as your own according to the principle of keeping fat and water out of the field. But he was a senior commander, and he has the final say in the sixteenth army's three acres. I can only eat this dumb loss. So I asked him in a faint: "can I go?" OK, goodbye then. We are at war. We will meet again when we have a chance. I'm going to beat the Germans here. That's what I'm worried about... Thank you for your contribution to the 16th army. We'll all remember you... "I got in the car and ordered grissa to turn around and drive to wolokoramsk, the headquarters of the 20th army there. We have all fought in volokoramsk, so not only grissa, but also I am very familiar with the right way. But after entering the city, we still lost our way, because it is no longer a city, but only ruins. Our car drove for a long time in the narrow passage left in the middle of the rubble, but inevitably got lost. Fortunately, we met more than one patrol team. Under their guidance in turn, we finally came to a large debris pile with many soldiers on guard. This is general Vlasov's headquarters. I got out of the car, went forward alone, showed my identification to the soldiers on guard, and was led to a basement under the rubble. It was not Vlasov who came to meet me, but his deputy, deputy commander Lin, whom I knew well. When I saw the military God I admired, I quickly took two steps. I went to him and stood at attention to salute him. Seeing that there was no outsider on the left and right, I quickly whispered in Chinese: "Hello, comrade deputy commander Lin! Nice to see you again here! " Deputy commander Lin smiles a little and doesn't speak. He makes a gesture of please to me. Then he turns and walks to the house. I follow him on my face. When I saw general Vlasov, I stood at attention and saluted him. The report said, "Comrade report commander, major general oshanina, division commander of the eighth guard division, reported to you that our department has been under the command of the 20th army since today, and I'm waiting for your order." Frasov, who was wearing glasses, looked me up and down. With a smile, he extended his hand to me and said happily, "Comrade oshanina, welcome to join the 20th army. From today on, we will fight side by side." After shaking hands with me, he took a piece of paper from the table, looked at me and said, "here's an order from the headquarters of the front army. I'll read it to you." When I heard Zhukov's command again, my mouth twitched. My heart said, I was surprised. Is Zhukov going to move my troops to the most dangerous place? Fortunately, Vlasov didn't find my difference, so he read out the order according to the document: "from now on, appoint Rita mushdakova oshanina as the chief of staff of the 20th group army and the commander of the 8th division of the guards." With that, he put down the order and extended his hand to me with a smile. I was relieved to hear that it was not defense. It didn't matter whether I was promoted or not, as long as I stayed in the eighth division. So I shook hands with him and the others who congratulated me.
