Chapter 232

I can't help worrying about the steady flow of reinforcements into the city. Although Taiyangshan city is not small, there are still thousands of troops stationed in our division. With so many soldiers and technical equipment, the city will be very crowded. So I discussed with rokosovsky and suggested that he send these troops to the settlements of sverchikovo, sherishevo and martenovo outside the city.

Rokosovsky agreed to my proposal and immediately ordered the headquarters to accept the staff of the troops and guide the troops entering the city to the three residential areas.

After arranging everything, he stood in front of the map with chief of staff malining and a group of staff of the group army, and began to study the counter offensive against lialovo. Since I am no longer a member of the 16th army, I can only stand by silently as an audience when they discuss. From their conversation, I learned that lialovo is just a big village, not the city I imagined.

While studying, the roar of tank motors came from outside. Rokosovsky stood up straight, waved his hand and said, "go to the door and see our troops!" Then he took the lead and walked out. We quickly followed.

Standing on the steps outside the division headquarters, rokosovsky stood in the front with high spirits, looking at the tanks, rockets and trucks full of soldiers passing in front of him. His face turned red with excitement, and he waved to the marching line from time to time, shouting: "good boys! Good job, boys! " His mood deeply infected everyone around him. Everyone looked at the continuous team and talked excitedly.

Before all the troops were finished, a communication officer rushed out of the building, stopped by me, stood at attention, and reported in a low voice, "Comrade division commander, general Vlasov, commander of the group army, asked you to answer the phone."

I trotted to the headquarters, picked up the microphone on the table and said, "Hello, comrade commander! This is o'shanina. Do you have any instructions? "

Instead of beating around the Bush, Vlasov said frankly, "you immediately hand over the command to deputy division commander chisjakov and political commissar yegorov, and then come to the headquarters of the group army. We need to jointly study the next operational deployment."

I asked the communication officer to call in the political commissar, the deputy division chief and the chief of staff. Then I called the guard camp and asked major bukov to arrange for me and prepare the car.

The political commissar and the three of them came in in a hurry. The political commissar first asked with concern, "Rita, what's the matter with you calling us in in such a hurry?"

I said calmly, "just now general Vlasov, commander of the group army, called me and asked me to hand over the command of the division to you. Then I immediately went to the headquarters to attend the combat meeting." Then he began to transfer the command of the division to them.

After explaining everything, when turning around and going out, I met rocosovsky who was returning. He saw me go out in a hurry and asked with concern, "where are you going, Rita?"

"I want to go to the 20th group army headquarters immediately and attend the combat meeting to be held immediately."

Rokosovsky took my hand and shook it hard. He said, "it's not safe on the road. You may meet German people. Take more soldiers with you."

"Thank you for your concern. I will pay attention to safety."

"Good luck!" With the last sentence, rokosovsky let go of my hand.

Waiting outside was grissa's jeep, and company commander Yushchenko was waiting for me outside. When he saw me coming out, he saluted me and quickly opened the door. Then he went from the back of the car to the other end of the car, opened the door and sat in the co pilot's seat. After our car started, it soon followed a truck full of soldiers.

I pointed to the truck in the back and asked Yushchenko strangely, "Comrade captain, what's the matter with the truck in the back?"

Yushchenko half sidedly replied to me, "Comrade division, this is major bukov. For your safety, he specially sent two classes of soldiers to protect your safety along the way."

Although I have only one or two guards with me when I run back and forth recently, it doesn't matter on the surface. In fact, I'm still scared to death. In case of an enemy attack on the road, just a few of us are going to kill ourselves. After hearing Yushchenko's explanation, I gave a hum and didn't speak any more. I was very satisfied with bukov's arrangement.

Arriving outside the headquarters of the 20th group army, as soon as I got off the bus, officers on duty came to salute me, saying that the commander and deputy commander had been waiting for me for a long time, and guiding me into the headquarters under the ruins.

In the room, Vlasov and deputy commander Lin are sitting face to face drinking tea. The interpreter stands behind Mr. Lin and translates his words to Mr. Lin in time, or repeats his words to Mr. Vlasov.

Seeing me enter the door, both commanders stood up and welcomed me. Without waiting for me to stand at attention, they all reached out to shake hands with me. Frasov also said with a smile, "Hello, chief of staff oshanina. I just called you. I didn't expect you to come here so soon. Have you been safe all the way? "

"Thank you for your concern," I replied with a smile. "From Taiyangshan city to wolokoramsk, we are under the control of the 20th army. Maybe it's because the enemy is afraid of the two comrades in command and dare not come out to harass them at will, so I can have a peaceful journey. " Vlasov chuckled, gestured to the side and said, "come on, sit down first and say." General manager Lin had to wait for Shi Zhe's translation, so his reaction was a little slower than that of Vlasov, but he also added in Chinese: "you are the chief of staff of the group army, which is equivalent to being a member of the headquarters, so you don't have to treat yourself as a guest. Don't be restrained." When I sat down, I took a close look at Vlasov and found that he was actually a tall and thin man with a height of at least 1.9 meters. Why did I always think he was of medium height before? Maybe it was because I didn't observe him carefully. After sitting down, Vlasov said frankly, "Comrade Rita, we are in a hurry to call you here today because the great counterattack is around the corner, and the current situation is not optimistic. If we launch a counter offensive in a hurry, it is estimated that we will not achieve any good results. Therefore, we need to study it carefully. How can we change the current unfavorable situation? "
