Chapter 230

Although deputy division commander chisjakov was sent to lead the remnants of the 389th tank division to rescue rokosovsky's headquarters. But I was still not at ease. An hour later, I called the forward position in the north of the city and asked shedulin to stay and continue to command. Then leisdayev immediately took a company's troops to the residential area of sville chikovo by truck and joined the garrison there. After the deployment, I quickly arranged the defensive position and waited for rokosovsky who might withdraw.

After all this, my stomach began to ache. I was going to go to the bathroom to change a cushion. Unexpectedly, Zhukov called. As soon as he heard my voice, he yelled angrily: "Rita, what's the matter with colonel buniachenko, the 389th division commander?"

Who reported the disappearance of Colonel buniachenko to Zhukov? My face sank with a brush, and my eyes swept over several commanders in the room. Although I didn't speak, when I saw my eyes that could kill people, everyone knew that something was wrong. Although I am dissatisfied with the person who leaked the news to Zhukov, I have to give an explanation: "Comrade General, please listen to me. This is the situation."

"Go ahead." Zhukov snorted angrily.

"Yesterday, German tanks launched an attack on the position in the north of our city. After two rounds, they turned around and ran when they saw Colonel buniachenko's tanks rushing out of the flank. Our tanks also followed suit. I didn't expect that this was a trap set by the enemy. Several tanks were used as bait to lead our tanks into the ambush circle. After a battle, Colonel bunyachenko led half of the tanks to break through the enemy's encirclement. In the process of retreating, they were heavily shelled by the enemy. In the end, only a few tanks escaped, none of which was Colonel buniachenko's

"Have you sent for Colonel buniachenko?"

Although Zhukov couldn't see, I still nodded my head and said, "yes, I sent a scout to the battlefield that night. They found Colonel buniachenko's tank, which rolled over in a crater. The bodies of four crew members were found inside and outside the car, but no buniachenko was among them. Because our people are still looking for the whereabouts of the colonel, because it is not sure whether he died or disappeared, we have not reported this matter for the time being. "

As soon as the voice fell, I heard Zhukov slap the table hard. The loud voice made me tremble: "what's missing! It's captured! Captured!! Do you understand? It's captured! Captured by the bandits

Captured! Although I had already guessed the fate of buniachenko's capture, I was surprised when the news was confirmed from Zhukov's mouth. With a fluke in my heart, I said, "Comrade General, maybe you have got inaccurate information."

"What inaccurate information." Zhukov said sternly: "the Intelligence Department of the front army should have intercepted a telegram from the enemy. After decoding it, it is learned that they captured a Soviet division commander in the battle yesterday. This man is colonel bunyachenko, the division commander of the 389th tank division." Finish saying, did not give me the opportunity to explain, then hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, I looked around the commanders in the room again. I knew that they had been wronged just now. It was not one of them who went over the top to report to the police. It was Zhukov who intercepted the German intelligence that got to know about Colonel buniachenko. I said faintly: "just now general Zhukov called and asked about Mr. buniachenko. According to reliable information, he was captured in yesterday's battle." Seeing what political commissar yegorov wanted to ask, I quickly waved my hand and continued to explain: "this information was obtained from the German telegram intercepted by the Intelligence Department of the headquarters of the front army."

Then he told sherebryakov, who was standing in the pile of signalmen, "Comrade chief of staff of the division, you should contact the small teams in the enemy's rear immediately and let them quickly find the whereabouts of division commander bunyachenko. Once we know the exact whereabouts of the colonel, we must rescue him at all costs! "

Sherebriakov stood up straight and said in a loud voice, "yes, sir, I'll give the scouts an order."

After the assignment, I quickly ran to the bathroom to change a pad. Coming out of the bathroom, I just wanted to go back to the headquarters. I vaguely heard someone talking in the duty room, so I walked over. Pushing the door open, I saw seven or eight people sitting against the wall in a small room. Without waiting for me to speak, someone stood up and saluted me: "Hello, sir! This is Lieutenant Iger on duty. Do you have any instructions

With the demonstration effect of the commander, the rest of the people also stood up neatly to salute me.

I waved my hand and said in a soft voice, "nothing's wrong. When I passed by, I heard you are very busy here, so I came in to have a look." Seeing that everyone was standing upright like a stake, he immediately called them, "don't be constrained. Let's all sit down." Then I looked around and sat down on a chair by the door.

Seeing that I had taken the lead to sit down, the second lieutenant also asked other people to sit down and personally picked up the teapot and poured me a cup of tea. I took the cup and sipped it gently. It was black tea with sugar, sweet and bitter. I held the teacup in both hands and chatted with the Second Lieutenant: "I said, comrade second lieutenant, there are quite a lot of people here." When I said this, I thought to myself that if he could not give me a satisfactory answer, I would demote him to a private soldier tomorrow and send him to the front line. You should know how important the security work of the division headquarters is. As an officer on duty, he was hiding in the room with a group of people of unknown origin for tea.

Hearing my question, the second lieutenant was a little flustered and quickly explained, "they are all soldiers coming to change their posts. Because it's still a little early, I'll come to my duty room first and have a rest."

Oh, so it is! I made a mistake again, and my heart was finally put back in my stomach. But I'm a little dissatisfied with myself. What's the matter these two days? I'm always suspicious and I always want to lose my temper. In order to cover up my embarrassment, I deliberately cut off the topic and chatted with these soldiers who were somewhat restrained in the face of me.

When I first entered the gate, I felt a pain in my stomach. After drinking hot tea, I felt less pain in my stomach. I also set up a friendly image among these soldiers. Then I put down my tea cup, stood up and walked slowly to the headquarters.

I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, before I could sit down, the political commissar ran to me in a panic and said, "Rita, we contacted commander rokosovsky through our division's communication equipment."

I looked at him puzzled for a long time to understand the meaning of what he said. I was surprised and asked, "is it a good thing to get in touch with commander rokosovsky? With our communication equipment, it means that our rescue forces have joined their headquarters. Which army did they join, the tanks led by Colonel chisjakov, or the infantry of major resdayev? "

"It's Colonel chisgakov's army!" Yegorov said as he pulled me to the telephone, took the earphone and microphone from the signalman's hand and put it into my hand.

After I put on the earphone, I couldn't wait to call each other: "I'm o'shanina, who are you? Please speak

"Rita, it's me." At the other end came the familiar voice of rokosovsky.

"Hello, comrade commander!" Although I was not under his jurisdiction, my respect for him did not diminish at all, so I still spoke with him politely: "what's the situation over there?"

"Rita, to tell you the truth, it's bad. It's very bad!" Rokosovsky sighed and began to tell me his situation excitedly: "the sudden attack of the enemy disrupted our defense deployment. General Zakharov led the troops that had been withdrawn from klin. After fierce fighting, they had retreated to the direction near the city of Moscow. And my command was forced to withdraw from lialovo. There were several cars carrying 4-joint anti-aircraft machine guns that were originally responsible for protecting us. They were damaged in the German air raid. Our car, about three kilometers away from the sville chkovo settlement, was overtaken by German tanks. We were at our last resort, but fortunately, at this time, the troops led by Colonel chisgakov arrived. They first used the anti tank gun battalion to kill several heavy tanks of the enemy, and then launched a tank charge to defeat the pursuers following us at one stroke. "

Hearing this, I became more and more confused. Didn't chisgakov join you and beat back the pursuers? So what's the problem? I was afraid that rokosovsky would not be able to explain the matter clearly even if he spoke for another half an hour, so I quickly asked, "Comrade commander, since you have joined up with the troops I sent to the rescue, why don't you withdraw to sville chikovo residential area in a hurry?"

When I asked, rokosovsky sighed and said, "when our tank pursuit ended and returned, ready to cover our return to sverchikovo settlement, we found that German tanks appeared on the west side of the forest. It seemed that they were coming from both wings. Our tank soldiers launched a very tenacious attack on the enemy, but because they were outnumbered, they all died. At present, I am trapped in the forest with colonel chisgakov and the anti tank artillery battalion, unable to break through. "

I was scared out of a cold sweat. How could rokosovsky always be out of shape? It wasn't long since he was saved last time. How could he be in a desperate situation again. It's said that the enemy's tank troops are encircling them. What I lack most at present is anti tank forces. Even if I want to save them, I can't do it. At this time, I understood why the political commissar was so panicked just now. In the face of this situation, I was also at a loss and didn't know what to do.

I clenched my teeth and asked, "Comrade commander, how long can you support me there?"

"Colonel chisgakov built an anti tank gun position in the forest, and we were placed in a temporary tent. All kinds of signs show that the enemy is gathering forces here, and it is estimated that the attack will be launched in another hour or two. "

"I see," I comforted him, "Comrade commander, please rest assured that I will try my best to rescue you."

After the termination of the communication, I immediately ordered the signalman: "connect me with general Zhukov, commander of the front army." As soon as I got through and heard Zhukov's voice, I couldn't wait to report to him: "senior general, I have important information to report to you." Then he made a detailed report on rokosovsky's current situation.

After listening to my statement, he was silent for a long time before answering in a low voice, "I know. I'll send someone to help him right away. You give me the coordinates of his location. "

I quickly turned around and asked selebriakov, who was standing beside me, "Comrade chief of staff, give me the location of commander rokosovsky."

Sherebriakov immediately reported a series of coordinate numbers to me, and I immediately reported this data to Zhukov. After recording the data, he said again: "the reinforcements will arrive soon. You tell him that once you find that the enemy's battle line is in chaos, you will break through immediately. As long as people can safely stand out, it doesn't matter if all the technical equipment is discarded. " Although Zhukov's words puzzled me, I still told rokosovsky. Although I want to ask commander Vlasov to send tank troops to reinforce me, far water can't save near fire, so I just give up. Chisjakov went to arrange the breakout, and I continued to communicate with rokosovsky. Twenty minutes later, I suddenly heard a surprise voice from my earphone: "Comrade commander, we are saved. Please come out and have a look. The plane is ours in the sky." Then came a series of explosions, which sounded like bombs rather than shells. After hearing this news, I understood why Zhukov asked me to report the coordinates just now. He wanted to send planes to bomb the German tanks that besieged rokosovsky and create conditions for them to break through. Among the cheers suppressed by the continuous explosions, I heard rokosovsky's decisive and resolute voice: "all of you, break through immediately!"
