Chapter 316

Four young people came in and automatically stood in a row with their backs against the wooden wall.

I told yemeryanov, who brought them in: "Comrade chief, you go out first. Keep at the door. No one is allowed to come in without my permission. " Next, I want to know something about the future from the four people. The fewer people I know, the better. Even the senior, who is the monitor of my guard class, is no exception.

After the grand master went out, I went up to the four men and asked the man with square face, "private Ivanovic, last night, I heard you say that you are our descendants. You are from the future. Am I right?"

The man, whom I call Ivanovic, nodded his head desperately and answered with a very fast voice, "yes, comrade commander. I did say that. We are from the future. The Great Patriotic War has been won. "

I looked back at diomi and SOLIN at the table, then turned to him and asked, "do you know what day it is today?"

He shook his head hard to show that he didn't know.

"It's June 13, 1942," I said slowly. "We're stationed near liuban now. Can you tell me something about the history you know? "

Hearing that I mentioned the name of liuban, his body suddenly trembled violently like chaff and murmured to himself, "battle of liuban, 2nd shock group army, Vlasov..."

"Tell us what you know about the battle of liuban," I went back to the table, sat down, looked at him and asked, "maybe you can tell us why this battle is called the battle of liuban?"

"... the reason why the Supreme Command formed the warhoff front army was to rescue Leningrad from the German siege. The Volkhov front army, under the command of general meletskov, launched an attack on January 13. However, due to the strong resistance of the Germans everywhere, the fighting was extremely cruel. Until the next evening, the second shock group army crossed the volhof River and captured some residential areas along the river. " The young man seemed to be familiar with this period of history. After a little thought, he talked on and on, "the most successful one was the 327th Infantry Division under the command of Colonel anchufiev. They drove the enemy out of the red village and captured the solid positions established by the enemy. On the left side of the division, the 58th infantry brigade, under the command of Colonel zhelitsov, also went well. After repeated attacks, the brigade captured the residential area of yamno. On the left side of the brigade, the right wing regiment of the 52nd army advanced to the West Bank of the volhof River, where it broke through the enemy's defence. In order to develop the victory, the 2nd shock group army and the 52nd group army put the 2nd echelon into battle on the morning of January 15. After the second echelon entered the battle, our army's attack improved, but failed to completely crush the enemy's resistance. The more the troops advance, the fiercer the enemy's resistance. Both sides have suffered a lot. "

"Obviously, comrade major." SOLIN said softly beside me, "as long as you read the war reports of our army in the past few months, you can understand what he said."

"Comrade instructor, please be quiet." "Do you think these soldiers are qualified to check our army's war report? Listen to the soldier go on

"... a week later, the second shock group army advanced to the second position of the enemy's main defensive zone along the chudovo Novgorod railway and road. Meletskov ordered the troops to break through the position, but failed. So the front army sent artillery here again. But as the German command felt the threat to its main supply lines, it transferred reserves to the spaska apolis region, as well as artillery and the main air force.

The battle is getting fiercer day by day. Although the second shock group army broke through the enemy's defense several times, due to the shortage of ammunition and the control of the air by the German air force, the defense line was taken back by the German several times.

After three days of dogged fighting, the second shock group army finally captured miasnebol and broke through the main German defense zone in this direction. In order to close the breach, the German command put in all kinds of troops, which were transferred from other parts of the front, including from near Leningrad. At the same time, the German "northern" army group was forced to give up its preparations for the attack on Leningrad and turn to defense. At this time, Hitler was extremely dissatisfied with the headquarters of the army group. In the middle of January, marshal von liber and chief of staff brennecker, commander of the "northern" group army group, were replaced by General von traxel and Hassel.

If the 2nd shock group army is still making progress, the attacks of the 4th and 59th group army are not effective. Their impact became weaker and weaker, and then stopped completely. Our friendly neighbor, the 54th army of the Leningrad front army, stopped its attack on January 17 after it ran out of ammunition.

In this case, the impact on the right wing of the front army is in vain. After general meletskov reported the situation, the base camp agreed to transfer all forces to the direction of spaska, apolis and liuban. So the region became the main direction in the next six months. That's why the whole campaign is called the liuban campaign. "

"That's right, comrade private." Instructor SOLIN got up from his seat, walked up to the soldier, and asked in a sarcastic tone, "do you have a girl who is friendly to you in the Intelligence Department of the group army headquarters, otherwise how can you see such detailed war reports?"

"Comrade commander," Ivanovic replied somewhat flustered, "I don't have any friends in the intelligence department. I read all these things from history books. It's very simple to know that I study history and understand this period of history."

Seeing what SOLIN wanted to say, I coughed and stopped him: "Comrade instructor, take the other three soldiers out first and let them repair the fortifications with the soldiers of the seventh company. By the way, inform lieutenant miducci to gather the soldiers in his platoon. Let him come to me in an hour, and then go back to the village together. As for this private comrade, "I pointed to Ivanovic and continued," I'll stay here for a while. The captain and I have something to ask him. "

SOLIN wanted to say something else. Seeing that I was staring at him coldly, he agreed to leave the command post with three other young people who had never had a chance to speak.

When SOLIN left, I quickly comforted Ivanovic and said, "Comrade private, don't worry. Now there are only three of us left in the command post. You can speak freely. "

"What do you want to know? Comrade commander. " Ivanovic asked nervously.

"Tell the captain and I what has happened and will happen these days." As I said this, I turned to see diomi sitting next to me and asked him, "Comrade captain, do you have any objection?"

"Comrade private, speak boldly," diomi, who was also intrigued at the moment, urged Ivanovich to continue, "we will not interrupt you."

"... due to the combination of Leningrad front army and volhoff front army at an inappropriate time, and the damned forest swamp, the 2nd shock group army was completely besieged by the German army in early June. At this time, the base camp removed the post of commander of Huojin's front army and reorganized the volhoff's front army, and general meletskov was still the commander of the front army. "

"Wait a minute, comrade private." Hearing this, diomi couldn't help interrupting him and asked curiously, "when did you say that the Supreme Command reorganized the front army of Waldorf? I don't know

"Comrades of the soldiers are right," I said next to him. "I only learned about the reorganization of the front army last night. Moreover, in terms of the original organizational structure, the 8th and 54th army groups have been incorporated. " Then he said to Ivanovic, "go on, comrade soldier, go on."

"... the first thing after general meletzkov was reinstated was to draw out three infantry brigades and some other troops, including a tank battalion. These meager forces were organized into two groups, and they were ordered to open a corridor one and a half kilometers to two kilometers wide, and cover the two wings of the corridor, so as to ensure the withdrawal of the besieged 2nd shock group army.

The signal of attack came at dawn on June 10. The artillery prepared for a short time. Then tanks and infantry launched the impact. Although the plan has been carefully considered and the commanders and fighters have shown tenacity, the impact has not worked.

In the evening of that day, meletskov and vasilevsky, the representative of the general headquarters, repeatedly calculated the total strength of the front army, and determined to transfer some troops to the breakthrough site. Our army is increasing, and so is the enemy. From the north, that is, from the west of the Leningrad highway, three infantry divisions and a police division of the SS, as well as some units that used to defend other areas, were transferred to form three brigades, namely, kalenberg, bass and main road. From Novgorod's side, two groups of "jump" and "yashkai" and other troops were transferred. From the west, a "Duke" group, composed of two infantry divisions and one security division, came fiercely against the 2nd shock group army. The fighting did not stop for a minute and was unprecedented. There were heavy casualties on both sides.

After a week's brutal fighting, the German aggressors were finally unable to hold on before our army's offensive.

On June 19, the tank soldiers of the 29th tank brigade of our army and the infantry following them broke through the enemy's defense and joined the troops of the 2nd assault group army attacking from the West. Two days later, a three or four hundred meter wide corridor was opened along the railway from the east to the West. Using this corridor, a large number of wounded officers and men of the 2nd shock group army retreated to miasnebol

"Stop! Comrade soldier, that's all I didn't wait for him to tell us the fate of the whole second shock group army and Vlasov, then I stopped him. After all, there are some things that I, the passer-by, don't care, but if I let Naomi know, it might cause trouble. I waved and said to Ivanovic, "Comrade soldier, go to your companions and reinforce the fortifications with them."

Ivanovic agreed, saluted and left.

As soon as he left, I didn't get to captain diomi's mouth to say anything, so I preempted and said, "it's right to see what major yemeryanov said. Some of them were shocked and their brains were injured. In addition, they were stimulated and their nerves were a little abnormal. Later, let them go to the village health team to see if they can be cured. "

Captain diomi frowned and said suspiciously, "Comrade major, are you sure they are insane? But what I heard from him was clear and organized. "

"This is your illusion, comrade captain." I picked up the teapot on the ground, poured two cups of tea, handed one to the captain, and added: "the reason why he can understand so much is that there may be a girl with a good friend working in the intelligence department, just like director SOLIN's analysis. Everything he said was told to him by the girl during her tryst with him. " With that, I sat down and took a sip of my tea cup, thinking at a high speed: will the history he said follow the original track? If I take part in the battle of breaking through according to the date he said, will I succeed in breaking through? If we ignore what he said as nonsense, what will happen? I asked myself three questions in my heart, but I have no answer to these three questions.
