Chapter 317

"Report, major. Lieutenant miducci is here at your command." A sudden sound woke me up from my meditation. I looked up and lieutenant miducci was standing in front of me. I remembered that when I sent out instructor SOLIN just now, I asked him to inform me that lieutenant miducci would come to my command post in an hour.

I took another sip of tea, put down the three unanswered questions, stood up and said to miducci, "Lieutenant, let's go. Send another soldier to call up the four geese and go back to the village with us. "

Stupid goose?! Miducci was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that I was talking about the four soldiers of unknown origin. He immediately ordered a soldier beside him to carry out the order.

After entering the village, I ordered sergeant yemeryanov to take four people to the health team and ask assistant military doctor Sergeant Nina to examine them. And lieutenant miducci and I went back to company headquarters together.

As I pushed the door open and walked into the command post, I saw lieutenant ugad just drop the microphone. Seeing me enter the door, he immediately saluted and reported to me: "Hello, major!"

"Hello I saluted him, sat down on the stool at the table and asked, "is there anything new?"

"I've just received the notice from the regiment headquarters that a company will be sent to exchange guards with our battalion tomorrow."

Vlasov once talked to me on the phone about the change of guard. I didn't expect that the change of guard would come so soon. I quickly asked ugad, "Comrade lieutenant, did the commander say on the phone what the mission of our battalion is?"

"Yes, comrade major." Wugad replied, "Lieutenant Commander habi said that after the change of guard, our battalion immediately assembled at the regiment headquarters and prepared to participate in the breakout in a few days. At the same time, it is necessary to dispatch excellent troops and strong generals and organize a small guerrilla force to stay in the liuban area to fight guerrillas. "

"Guerrillas?" I can't have heard the wrong thing, can I? So he asked: "Comrade lieutenant, you have heard clearly. Does the commander mean that we should deploy our manpower to form a guerrilla force?"

"Yes, the commander said that the number of small guerrillas to be set up is no more than 20, and it is necessary to select talents with various special military skills, not only aircraft gunners, correspondents, engineers, radio announcers, but also mortar gunners and even gunners. Moreover, everyone in the team needs to have a certain command ability, so that they can pull up a new guerrilla force when necessary. "

After listening to the order relayed by lieutenant wugad, I sneered with anger. There are many new soldiers in the camp, and their combat effectiveness is poor. They are short of manpower when they want to take part in the breakthrough battle. At this time, if a group of backbones are sent to form the laoshizi guerrilla, the rest of the battle will not be fought.

My reaction was seen by ugad, who carefully reminded me: "Comrade major, the orders of the higher authorities are not allowed to be discussed. Do you think we should immediately deploy people to form guerrillas?"

I'm just a small battalion commander now. I can command only about 200 people under my command. I know very well in my heart that without Zhukov's big tree covering me, even if the superior gives any absurd order, I can only execute it unconditionally. So I answered with a bitter smile, "Comrade lieutenant, do you have a suitable candidate? You know, we're just infantry. We can find machine gunners, correspondents and radio announcers, but we don't have engineers, mortars and gunners. "

Ugad looked over my head to the door. I turned around and saw that it was lieutenant miducci standing behind me. I pointed to the lieutenant and asked ugad, "Comrade lieutenant, are you going to let lieutenant miducci be the leader of this guerrilla?"

"Yes. I wonder if you agree? "

I bowed my head and thought that if a second lieutenant commander with rich combat experience stayed in the army to command regular operations, he would be far better than a guerrilla commander who might not play any role at all and was annihilated by the German army. In this consideration, I very simply rejected ugard's idea: "no, comrade lieutenant, No. Lieutenant miducci is an excellent officer. He should stay in the regular army to command the battle, not go to the guerrillas to bury his talent. "

"What do you think, comrade Lieutenant?" Instead of refuting me, ugad asked miducci directly.

Miducci saw that I was looking at him. He quickly snapped to attention and replied loudly, "no matter what kind of decision the superior makes, whether it's to stay in the army as platoon leader or to be the captain of the guerrillas, I firmly obey the order."

I stood up and said my decision: "Lieutenant miducci will stay in the eighth company. I'll send another guerrilla leader."

"Who do you think is more suitable?"

I went through all the familiar people in my mind. A guerrilla leader must first have a certain rank and prestige among the soldiers. Only in this way can he manage more than ten or twenty people in the team. Ugad, diomi, SOLIN and others all hold important positions. They can't leave at will. The only one they can send is my chief of security, Sergeant yemeryanov. When I made up my mind, I replied, "let sergeant yemeryanov be the guerrilla leader."

After hearing this, ugad immediately told miducci, "second lieutenant, go and call Comrade chief."

The second lieutenant agreed and wanted to go out. I told a sentence in the back: "remember, call the devil instructor and the Korean together again."

Upon hearing this, miducci quickly reported to me: "Comrade major, park Junzhi, the Korean, had been sent to the rear hospital the day before he withdrew from the position because he was injured. Only kitao Tanaka, who handed over seven companies to our company, is still there. "

"Then call kitaoku Hsiung over."

The devil's instructor kitaoku came in soon. When he had finished reporting to us, he stood by honestly.

I walked up to him and asked with a smile, "how are you doing here, kitao Tanaka?"

"Report, sir. It's better than a POW camp." Kitaoku answered me loudly.

One thing suddenly occurred to me. It is said that after the battle of nomenham in 1939, Japan and the Soviet Union repatriated all the prisoners of war to each other. Why didn't kitaoku and his men return home and were sent to Leningrad as cannon fodder? At this time, I can chat with him face to face, just ask this question.

After listening to my question, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and then he replied in stiff Russian: "Sir, the repatriation of prisoners of war began soon after the cease-fire. It is said that when the staff of the repatriation working group came to our POW camp, it happened that the officer of the POW camp was drunk. He told those people that there were only Korean people in the POW camp, but no Japanese, so we were left behind. When the Soviet German war broke out, we were urgently recruited and transported to the front line to fight. "

"Why are the North Koreans not in the scope of repatriation?" Ugad helped me ask the questions I wanted to ask.

"According to the commander of the POW camp, it was Japan, not North Korea, who fought against the Soviet Union, so the captured North Koreans were only enemies who laid down their weapons, not prisoners of war, and they were not released."

"Report to commander comrade, chief yemeryanov has been ordered to come and wait for your order!" The voice of the old man came from the door. It seems that the second lieutenant brought him here.

"Comrade Tuan, I have an important task for you to complete when I call you here." Yemeryanov is my leader of the guard. I don't need to be polite to him. I directly explained the task to him, "according to the order of the higher authorities, the camp should transfer the backbone to form a guerrilla team. After the large forces broke through, they stayed in the liuban area to fight guerrillas. Now I've decided to let you serve as the captain of this guerrilla group. Are you confident of completing this arduous task? "

"Please rest assured that I will complete the task." With these words, the senior asked, "I don't know how many guerrillas there are and what kind of equipment they have?"

I thought about it in my heart, and then I replied to him, "there are 20 guerrillas in total. We'll equip you with plane gunners, signalmen, radio announcers and health workers." At this point, I said with some regret, "it's a pity that no one in the camp will use mortars. Otherwise, the mortars captured last time can be equipped for you."

"Sir, I will use mortars." Next to him, Takeo Tanaka suddenly put in a word.

"You?! You can use mortars, aren't you infantry? " Ugad said in surprise.

"I used to be a sergeant in the artillery, and then I was transferred to the infantry."

"Well, I'll give you the mortar. Also, kitajo Tanaka, "I pulled the old man in front of him and continued," I appointed you as the vice captain of the guerrillas and the deputy of the yemeryanov. You should cooperate with him well. Do you understand me? "

"Hi Kitajo Ku Hsiung habitually came up with a Japanese sentence.

"Comrade lieutenant," I called out to miducci, who had been standing at the door, "take comrades major and the devil instructor to select the guerrillas. Also, let the four geese join the guerrillas. I believe they will make some achievements when they get to the guerrillas. "

Because there will be a change of defense tomorrow, and there will be a lot to do. In addition to the soldiers of the eighth company having to pack up, the seventh company on the position will also be informed and ready to hand over the position.

It's getting dark unconsciously.

I was giving ugad an assignment, waiting for the arrival of diomi, when I heard music coming from outside. I stopped and called miducci, who was standing by, "Lieutenant, go out and have a look. Where's the music coming from? Is there a concert going on somewhere?"

The second lieutenant went out and came back five or six minutes later to report to us, "report to the major, it's the female health workers and the wounded in the health team who are having a party. Do you want them to stop?"

I waved my hand and said, "it's not necessary. Anyway, we'll leave here tomorrow. Let them have a good time tonight." Then I turned to look at ugad and asked, "Comrade lieutenant, do you want to see it?"

Wugad was very cheerful. He immediately stood up, grabbed the big eaves hat on the table and said, "let's go, major. Go and have a look. It's been a long time since such a lively party was held."

The three of us came to the health team's house. We saw two bonfires burning in the open space in front of the house. The wounded were surrounded by the fire, listening to Nina's beautiful singing. There are beautiful women singing. In my experience, the four modern youths may go up to pay attention. Just thinking about this, Ivanovic with square face and Simone lovic with messy hair have gone by. One has taken the accordion from the accompanist soldier, the other has taken the guitar and started to accompany Nina. At the end of the song, there were warm applause. But the two young people seemed to have more than enough, and began to play and sing: "hold the gun tightly, the soldiers go to the battlefield; War beckons, medals shine. To return home with honor is to make a hero famous; Return home with honor and enjoy the good time. This silence and sunshine foretell that there will be no more death. This silence and sunshine is the hope of victory in the war... "The lyrics are really wonderful, comrade major, do you know what it is Wugad couldn't help asking me“ I don't know. I've never heard that song. " I was about to go on, when I heard some footsteps approaching. Turning around, I saw captain diomi, instructor SOLIN and two other soldiers. They came up to me, stood at attention and saluted. The report said, "major, company commander diomi and instructor SOLIN have been ordered to report to you and wait for your orders."
