Chapter 236

At dawn, the enemy's defense in the chismena area was broken through, and the offensive forces of the group army were continuing to expand their achievements, rapidly advancing toward the northeast city of Kling.

At 12 noon, Vlasov called me again. At this time, I was explaining the defense to the commander of the seventh division, Colonel gritznov. When I heard the phone ring, I immediately picked up the headset“ Rita, is that you "What's the situation there?" Vlasov asked

"Very well, comrade commander," I replied, "the enemy forces in the chismena area have been eliminated, and I am handing over the task to Colonel griazenov. In order to prevent the German mechanized forces from attacking the rear of the Kremlin forces, I left behind a regiment and a tank brigade of the seventh division of the guards, under the unified command of Colonel gritznov. "

"I agree with your deployment." He agreed to my plan without any hesitation, and then said in a low voice: "I want to tell you a bad news, because rokosovsky's troops are still fighting with the enemy in rialovo and cleukovo areas, they have no strength to fight back for the time being. Just now, the headquarters of the front army informed us that the first army of close guard cavalry, which was originally decided to be assigned to us under the command of general belov, was temporarily assigned to the 16th group army. "

It's said that the cavalry army originally assigned to us is gone, which makes me feel empty. You know, without the cavalry army, we will lose a crucial assault force. But since the superior ordered us to leave, we have to obey. Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, he quickly asked, "Rita, why don't you speak?"

"I'm fine," I quickly replied, "Comrade commander, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will lead the troops forward. "

"No, you go. Deputy commander Lin and I will go back to Colin tomorrow. I hope you have taken the city back from the bandits by then. "

Putting down the phone, I said to gritznov, "Comrade Colonel, I'm going to lead the troops to Kerin, and the defense of chismena is up to you."

"Chief of staff, please rest assured." "As long as the soldiers of the seventh division of our guards are here, then the chismena area will be firmly controlled by our army," gritznov said confidently

With gritznov's promise, I turned to major Leo, who was standing by in a black cape, a machete, knickerbockers, a mink cap and riding boots, and said, "come on, cavalry chief. Take your troops with you and follow me to Colin. Teach the Krauts a lesson and wash away your shame. "

"Yes The major happily agreed and followed me out of the headquarters.

My staff and correspondents, together with the guards, took six jeeps and three trucks. My jeep is at the front of the whole team. There was a full tank brigade in front of them, so I let grissa follow them and go along the road to klin.

The road we were driving was through the line of defense. After occupying the German position, our engineers backfilled the trenches in some areas and restored the traffic of the road in time.

In a short time, my jeep was close to the first German trench. A few hours ago, thousands of soldiers were charging here on the snow, but now it was empty.

But after a closer look, I found that there were soldiers' bodies in camouflage clothes or military coats all over the snow, especially near the blockhouses on both sides of the road. These soldiers who fell down during the charge are doomed to no longer stand up. Although they were lying in the snow, their heads were still stretched forward, in the direction of cline, where we were going. I don't know if it's because what I said when I mobilized them to build immortal meritorious deeds inspired them and made every soldier have an irresistible desire. Even if he couldn't run, he had to climb there. Even death couldn't restrain this desire.

I quietly wiped away the tears from the corner of my eyes and said to Yushchenko sitting in the front row, "grissa, pull over."

"Yes Grissa was used to obeying. He slowed down and pulled over with a promise. Yushchenko, sitting in the co pilot's seat, turned his head and asked curiously, "Sir, why are you parking here?"

Instead of answering, I pushed the door open and went down. Because my car stopped, so the cars following me pulled over one after another. Almost every car had people coming out. I vaguely heard them asking each other curiously: "why did they stop here?"“ You ask me, I ask who's going? And I want to know what's going on? "

I saw the cavalry regiment of major leontov coming to us along the road. They quickly came to the middle of the road, raised their right hand and motioned them to stop.

The cavalry stopped at a distance of more than ten meters away from me. The horse ran over and pulled the reins at a distance of two or three meters away from me. The horse hissed at the bottom of its hip. The man stood up and pushed his front hooves several times before falling to the ground. The major, holding the reins, looked down at me and asked curiously, "chief of staff, what can I do for you?"

I looked at the corpse of the soldier lying on the battlefield, and then gave him an order: "Comrade major, you should lead the cavalry regiment to collect the remains of our soldiers and bury them. After all this, you can go to Kling."

"Yes The major agreed. After saluting, he turned around and ran back to the front of the line. He gave a loud order: "cavalry regiment, all of you, dismount!" Our motorcade continued down the road towards Kling. Sitting in the car, I can't help feeling that if the German armored forces were not cheated out in advance, we would pay a more painful price to conquer this area today. The motorcade arrived in the outskirts of Kling an hour later. My team was stopped by a small, dark, Central Asian faced commander. Seeing me get off the train, he immediately stepped forward two steps, stood at attention, saluted and reported: "report to chief of staff, commander of the Far East independent division, Colonel hapsafu. Report to you that the army is launching an attack on the city of Kerin according to the order, and is waiting for your instructions."“ Comrade Colonel, please take a moment! " I asked with concern, "how is the war going?"“ It's not going well, chief of staff. Our first two attacks have been repulsed, and now we are on our third attack. "
