Chapter 314

After listening to the report, commander habi said sternly, "major oshanina, I will report to the division headquarters immediately about the sacrifice of the whole 131st regiment. You just stay in the position and wait for my latest orders. Don't make your own decisions. Do you understand? "

When I heard him calling me, I unconsciously changed from "you" to "you". Realizing the seriousness of the situation, I quickly and honestly replied, "I see, comrade commander. I'll wait. "

Diomi and SOLIN watched me put down the phone and asked with concern, "Comrade major, what does the commander say?"

I replied, "after learning about the 131st regiment, the lieutenant commander didn't say anything. He just asked me to stay in the position and wait for his latest orders." After that, I looked up at instructor SOLIN and said to him, "Comrade instructor, go and deal with the affairs of those four people, give them military uniforms, and then add them to the company."

"Comrade major, is that appropriate? They are deserters SOLIN said with some embarrassment.

"Comrade instructor," I said with some helplessness, "we are short of troops. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to get a supplement from our superiors. So we can only use everyone, even deserters. In the future cruel battle, more people will have more strength. "

"I see, comrade major. I'll carry out the order right away. " SOLIN saluted me and left the company headquarters.

I couldn't wait for Lieutenant Colonel habi's call, so I became more and more impatient. I kept looking at my watch, picked up the phone several times, and wanted to make another call to the regiment headquarters. When diomi saw that I was upset, he comforted me and said, "don't worry, comrade major. Maybe the commander is reporting the situation to his superior. He will call later. Sit down and have a cup of tea

I sat down opposite him, picked up the cup he had placed in front of me, took a sip of the black tea with sugar, and took a few more deep breaths, which relieved my anxiety. I remember in my mind the sentence just said by Lieutenant Colonel harpy: "don't make your own decisions." what does it mean? Didn't he know that there were only two hundred men under my command. Apart from defending the position, it was impossible for him to attack the German position with only one platoon.

The phone on the desk suddenly rang. Before the bell rang the second time, I grabbed the phone and said aloud, "I'm major o'shanina. Am I the head of the group?"

"Rita, it's me." A familiar voice came out of the microphone. Without waiting for me to speak, he had already said his identity: "I'm Vlasov."

"Comrade commander, it's you!" Hearing the call from the Group Commander himself, I stood up from my seat and asked respectfully, "Hello! Do you have any instructions? "

Instead of answering my question, Vlasov asked, "do you understand the situation of the group army?"

This question really bothers me. Since I became the battalion commander, I seem to have been marginalized. What tasks are assigned by the group army to the division, and when the division reaches the regiment, the head of the regiment will convey them to me. So I can't understand many things as well as I did in the Western Front Army or the 54th army. I murmured, "Comrade commander, I'm just an ordinary battalion commander. I only know the instructions from the superior. I really don't know much about the current situation of the group army."

When I said that, Vlasov was silent for a long time before he said in a heavy voice, "Rita, it's very bad. We should know that the second shock group army is only a surprise force in name. In fact, after a brutal battle, the troops are seriously reduced and lack of ammunition. The soldiers who are supplemented by our superiors often suffer heavy casualties because they are blocked by the enemy when they pass through the passage. Now our army has difficulties in defense, let alone smashing the strong resistance of the German army. "

"Didn't commander Huo Jin think of a solution to the difficult situation of the second shock group army?"

"I've thought about it. It's no use." Vlasov said in a sarcastic tone: "at that time, he assured Comrade Stalin that as long as the two front armies of Leningrad and volhoff were merged and put under his command, the siege of Leningrad by the bandits would be broken. After the withdrawal of volhoff's front army, he became commander as he wished, and personally took command of the battle in volhoff group. It's a pity that he has great ambition and few talents. It took him a month and a half to make the troops inside and outside Leningrad meet. Even under the repeated supervision of the base camp, even the second shock group army failed to withdraw from the German encirclement. So a few days ago, the supreme commander was furious and withdrew from his post, leaving general yegorov to take over his post. At the same time, the warhoff front army was restored. In addition to retaining its original organizational structure, the front army was incorporated into the 8th and 54th army groups, and general meletzkov was re appointed commander of the front army. "

Hearing this, I couldn't help interrupting him and asked, "why did you merge the two front armies in the first place? In my opinion, this is inappropriate in terms of war, politics and any other aspects. Especially when the campaign is at a critical moment, it is taboo for military strategists to change generals before the battle. " Speaking of this, I couldn't help glancing at diomi, who was sitting opposite me, looking at me.

Although I was only a glimpse, the captain immediately understood, got up to salute me, turned and walked out of the company headquarters. Without the presence of outsiders, I no longer had any scruples when I spoke. I asked, "Comrade commander, what's the situation of the second shock group army? Is it surrounded by the Germans?"

"It's worse than you said." Vlasov's voice sounded haggard. "According to the intelligence, the German northern army group adjusted its deployment and sent reinforcements from other places. The 1st SS Police Division was from the north, the 58th and 126th German divisions and the 250th Spanish divisions were from the south, and cooperated with the 18th army group in liuban district to send reinforcements to the 52nd and 126th German divisions on both sides of our traffic line The 59th army launched a crazy attack. "“ General Yakovlev's 52nd group army and general korovnikov's 59th group army, can they block the German attack? " I asked nervously“ I can't stop it. " Vlasov sighed, "during the day's battle, the two groups were forced to retreat. The Germans have cut off our retreat and pocketed the 2nd assault group. At the same time, it has also seized our logistics supply base, and the group army is now in great shortage of food and ammunition. " At this point, he paused and asked in a low voice, "Rita, you used to be my chief of staff. I want to ask you, what do you think the next step should be to save the endangered second shock group army?" I hold the microphone in my hand and think about it. I think the best way is to break out as soon as possible while I haven't exhausted all my ammunition. After consideration, I solemnly said to Vlasov, "Comrade commander, I think the only thing I can do at present is to break through the encirclement. You should quickly set up an elite offensive force to break through the encirclement to the East. At the same time, he telegraphed general meletskov, asking him to send troops, preferably armored troops, to attack from east to west. As long as these two forces can join forces, the second group army will be able to stand out. Move quickly, or when the troops have no food or ammunition, they will have to wait and die. " After listening to my suggestion, Vlasov gave a hum, and then said slowly, "Rita, your suggestion is very good. At the meeting of the military committee of the group army in the daytime tomorrow, I will put it forward for your consideration. Besides, in two days, I will send troops to you to receive and defend. The 327th division is the most effective division in the whole group army and an important force to break through the encirclement. Well, that's all for today. I wish you good health! Good night Then he hung up. I put down the phone and walked around the room with my hands behind my back, trying to digest what Vlasov had just told me. It is imperative to break through the encirclement, but can it stand out? This is the biggest question in my heart. Although I came across the border, it's a pity that I know nothing about the history of the patriotic war. I just want to open a golden finger to change the unfavorable situation of the second shock group army, and I don't know how to start. It's just like letting him cross over to Qin Shihuang. If he doesn't understand that period of history, there will be great variables whether he can unify the six countries“ If only a historian could come across and give some advice at this moment. " Thinking of this, I can't help laughing bitterly to myself. If I want to be a historian, I'll take the chance to appear in front of me, unless one of the four young people just now knows history. Thinking of this, I was suddenly enlightened. I beat back and said to myself excitedly: "yes, there are four people who have passed through this period of history. Some of them can know more about this period of history. I'll just go and consult him. Do I need to kill a lot of brain cells here? "
