Chapter 227

Grissa, who came out of the headquarters and had been waiting outside, immediately drove the car over and stopped steadily in front of me. Captain Yushchenko opened the door, jumped from the co pilot's seat and opened the back door for me. With the help of the lighted steam lamp at the door, I looked at the empty street in the middle of the ruins. I asked lesdayev curiously, "Comrade major, where are your troops?"

"The troops are in the woods southeast of the city," he replied Then he asked with some embarrassment, "Comrade commander, my car has gone back to the army's camp. Can I go with you in your car?"

I shook my head and said, "get in the car." Then he went straight into the car. He got into the car and sat in the back row with me. Standing under the car, Yushchenko helped us close the door, and then he sat in the co driver's seat and said softly, "drive." As soon as grissa stepped on the gas, the car drove out of the city along the street.

By this time, it was very dark. There was no moon. It was dark everywhere. Although I can't see anything, I still look out of the window and think about my mind. To be honest, although I was appointed chief of staff of the 20th group army today, I am not happy at all. It's a headache to think about buniachenko's uncertain life and death and the German attack on Taiyangshan city.

When I attended the military conference just now, I listened to President Lin's teaching us all kinds of military theories. I forgot about buniachenko at all. Now when I'm free, I think about it again. I was thinking about what to do if I couldn't find buniachenko? Although the sacrifice of a division commander in a cruel battle is a common thing, just like my predecessor, general Panfilov. But even if I die, at least I can see the body, but this buniachenko can't live and die. I really don't know how to explain to Zhukov, whether to tell the truth or to hide the truth?

"Comrade teachers, comrade teachers." I vaguely heard Yushchenko calling me. I answered quickly, only to find that I was so lost that I forgot that I was still in the car.

In order to cover up my gaffe, I coughed, pointed to lesdayev beside me and said to Yushchenko, "Comrade captain, this is major lesdayev of the garrison headquarters. He once went to the enemy's rear with me to carry out arduous reconnaissance tasks. This time, he brought us a reserve team."

Then he pointed to Yushchenko and introduced him to lesdayev, saying, "this is captain Yushchenko. He used to belong to the people's interior Committee, but now he is the company commander of our division."

After listening to my introduction, they reached out and shook hands at the same time and began to exchange greetings.

Looking at lesdayev who talked and laughed with Yushchenko, I couldn't help thinking of another key problem. Because of my rapid promotion, I was promoted from corporal to major general in just two months. But all this is just superficial scenery, without any network foundation. Being a teacher is barely enough. If I want to hold a higher position, I can't find anyone available. In front of me, lesdayev, Lu Jin and sapochuk, who were still recovering in the hospital, went to the enemy's rear with me to carry out reconnaissance missions. They were good comrades in arms. They could be regarded as my authentic lineage. At present, I am close to lieutenant Ramis of the guard camp and major bukov, who can also develop into my future team. I took another look at Yushchenko sitting in the front row and sighed to myself. Although he has been trusted by me recently and is responsible for my safety every day, he is an officer from the Ministry of interior after all and can only have limited trust.

The forest where the reserve troops are stationed will soon arrive. Yushchenko accompanies lesdayev to get out of the car to gather the troops. Grissa and I are left on the car.

Grissa looked out of the window, then turned back and whispered to me, "Comrade division commander, just now when I accompanied you to the 16th army headquarters, I heard a driver I knew tell me something."

I knew that the drivers had nothing to say when they got together, and it was normal for them to hear some news on the grapevine, so I asked curiously, "what's the matter?"

"I heard him say that the headquarters of the front army originally sent a reserve team to our division, including infantry, artillery and tank soldiers. As a result, all commander rokosovsky was detained and handed over to other troops. At the same time, he also ordered the mixed Cadet regiment led by general leviagin to withdraw from the settlements at 4 p.m. and retreat eastward. Now, only a small number of garrison troops of the 133rd infantry division are left in the three settlements. "

When I heard this news, the corners of my mouth twitched, and I almost wanted to scold rokosovsky. However, when I thought that I could not make a gaffe under my own department before leaving the 16th group army, I scolded the former commander without division. If it was spread, others would not know what to think of me. So he controlled his mood in time, pretending to be relaxed, and said: "commander rokosovsky also has difficulties. His troops are not enough. In the face of the fierce attack of the enemy, he is not able to do what he wants. It is normal to send several troops to defend the key areas."

By the time Yushchenko and lesdayev got on the bus, my mood had stabilized. The strength of the residential area was insufficient. I would just transfer the strength from the city after I get back later.

A convoy of more than 40 covered trucks followed my jeep and drove to the sun mountain city.

When we were one or two kilometers away from the city, we were found by the sentry on duty on the defensive position outside the city. He immediately issued an alarm and the troops quickly entered a state of combat. But we were still driving forward foolishly. If chisjakov, who happened to be inspecting there, had not found something wrong and sent someone to contact us, we might have been fighting with our own people. The motorcade drove down the road into the city, and chisjakov was waiting at the entrance. Without waiting for my orders, grissa parked the car more than ten meters away from them. I opened the door and walked to chisgakov and them, followed by Yushchenko and resdayev. After introducing lesdayev to chisgakov, I gave a direct order to send a special person to guide ten of the trucks to the residential areas outside the city. Another 30 trucks, guided by a division staff officer, headed for the defensive positions in the north of the city, and leisdayev went with them. When the car was far away, I asked chisjakov to get on the bus and return to the division headquarters together. After the car started, chisgakov said in a heavy voice, "Comrade division commander, our scout who went to the front line is back."“ How's it going? Have you found Mr. buniachenko? " Although I knew that the possibility of finding it was zero, I still took a chance to ask. He shook his head and said slowly: "our scouts found Colonel buniachenko's tank on the battlefield. The tank rolled over in a crater and found the remains of two soldiers in the car. There were also two bodies in the parking lot, but the colonel was not found. In order to be on the safe side, the Scout searched all the wreckage of our tanks around, but still did not find the colonel. So we come to the conclusion that Colonel buniachenko is missing. " I know in my heart that although chisjakov said that buniachenko was missing, everyone knows that this is just a synonym for being captured, but no one wants to say this word. However, since the other principal officials in the division have decided on this matter, I can't pick out this layer of window paper. I can only push the boat along the river when buniachenko is missing. If the headquarters of the front army inquires about it, I will report it as missing on the battlefield.
