In fact, I know in my heart that these reasons are just cliches. My real purpose is to quickly build up my prestige in the army by leading the team to do several missions in person. And such a rescue operation with relatively small difficulty coefficient is my first choice.
After implementing the matter of who will rescue general afanasiyev, boroda said solemnly, "Comrade division, I have one more thing to report to you."
Seeing his serious manner, I thought in my heart that it would be no big deal except to rescue the general, so I said casually, "come on, chief of staff, what else is important?"
"Just now general meletzkov, commander of the front army, had another order."
There's another order. Is it to be transferred to the army immediately? Thinking of this, I asked uncertainly, "did Comrade commander order our troops to move to the designated position immediately?"
Boroda shook his head and said, "Comrade commander didn't mention the troop transfer. Instead, he told us that there was no need to send Colonel dorofeyev and lieutenant colonel samoirov to the headquarters of the front army."
The two former division commanders and chief of staff of the 378th division have been kept in a room next to the division headquarters since they were relieved of their duties. As for them, boroda and I have no right to dispose of them arbitrarily. We planned to send people to escort them to the headquarters of the front army today, but now there are variables. Hearing this news, I was not happy. I asked with a straight face, "if it's not sent to the headquarters of the front army, where should it be sent?"
"Send it to the headquarters of the 59th group army and give it to the commander, general korovnikov."
After hearing boroda's explanation, I was silent. You have to know that the two people are escorted to different destinations, and there are two completely different destinies waiting for them. If they go to the headquarters of the front army, they may be sent to the military court for dereliction of duty and delaying the flight; Going to the headquarters of the group army is another matter. Not only will they not go to the military court, but with their friendship with general kolovnikov, they may also be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
However, if you think about it, Captain boroda and I took over the command of the 378th division. General kolovnikov must be a little unwilling. He is bound to put forward an exchange offer to meletskov in exchange for no further investigation of their faults. Perhaps meletskov agreed to such an exchange for the sake of stabilizing the morale of the army. When I thought about this, I was relieved. I waved my hand and said, "since all the senior generals have given orders, you can arrange to send them to the headquarters of the group army later."
Just then, a report came from the door. Lieutenant Peskov stood at the door, looking at me, and said, "Comrade division commander, female health worker ulannova of the medical station has something to ask for you."
I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was seven o'clock in five minutes. I didn't know what ulannova wanted to do with me at this time. So I told the second lieutenant, "Comrade second lieutenant, please let her in."
The second lieutenant agreed. He put his hand to one side of his body and made a gesture to the room. He said, "please come in, comrade ulanova. The division commander is waiting for you in there."
Uranova hurried into the room and saluted me and boroda. After returning the gift, I asked her with a smile, "Comrade ulanova, what's the important thing for you to come to me in such a hurry?"
She nodded hard and said definitely, "yes, sir, I have something important to come to you." I looked up and down at her suspiciously, and said in my heart, is there another soldier who has insulted her? But it shouldn't be. I slept in the same room with her last night. I didn't hear anything. She continued: "the convoy that transports the wounded to the rear is leaving at seven. I heard from you yesterday that I was going to ask Alek to withdraw with the wounded, so I came to the headquarters to ask you what your plans are. "
"Mr. commander," boloda urged after hearing what ulannova said, "go ahead with Alek's business, and leave the rest to me."
Hearing what boroda said, I blushed a little and said to boroda with embarrassment, "Comrade captain, I'll leave it to you. I'll deal with my private affairs first."
Boroda said very reasonably, "go ahead, I'm here. Send Alek away, and you will have less worries. "
In addition to the headquarters, I saw a long motorcade on the street in the distance. Ulanova and I trotted all the way to the team and asked her, "ulanova, did you see Alek this morning? I didn't see him when I went to bed. I don't know where he went to play. "
"Rita, don't worry. Alec won't be lost. He's been with me ever since he got up. When I went to the headquarters to look for you, I left him in the care of takiyana. "
As soon as I ran to the front of the team, I saw takiyana leading alik towards us. A few steps away, alik broke free of takiyana's hand and threw himself at me. I squatted down and stopped him. Then I stood up with him in my arms and walked towards the motorcade. Ulanova and takiyana followed me closely.
The door of the co pilot of the first car opened, and a second lieutenant officer jumped down, ran to me, stood at attention and saluted me, and reported, "Hello, sir! Varo, second lieutenant of the transport team of the group army, reports to you that the transport team for the wounded is ready and ready to leave at any time. Please give us your instructions! "
I couldn't return a gift to Alec because I was holding him, so I had to smile politely and said in a deliberative tone, "Comrade lieutenant, I want to find a wounded person in the car and ask her to take my child to the rear. Look, can you drive a few minutes later? "
"No problem, sir." The second lieutenant agreed very readily, and then tentatively asked, "do you want me to help you find it?"
"Thank you, comrade lieutenant." I thank the lieutenant for his enthusiasm, but I don't say if I need his help. I walked back along the line with Alec in my arms, shouting, "Sergeant Nina, Sergeant Nina, where are you?"
After me, ulanova, takiyana and the second lieutenant were also shouting for me. The enthusiastic lieutenant, next to each carriage, asked, "is Sergeant Nina here? Is there a sergeant named Nina here? "
As we passed the seventh car, we suddenly heard a familiar voice behind us calling me, "Rita, I'm here." Turning around, Nina was lying on the fender of the car, leaning out half of her body and waving to me.
I went to her with Alec in my arms, and first bowed my head to Alec and said, "son, mother is going to stay here to fight with the German devils. Will you follow aunt Nina to the rear?"
Eric nodded wisely and said, "well, mom, don't worry. I'll listen to Aunt Nina."
I lifted Alek up and handed him back. Immediately, a soldier in the carriage reached out and picked up the child.
Seeing Nina holding Alex in her arms, I gave her a grateful smile and said, "thank you, Nina. I'll give you the baby. Please take good care of him."
"Don't worry, Rita. I'll take care of him like I did to my child."
I turned to the second lieutenant standing beside me and said, "Comrade second lieutenant, you can go. Thank you
The second lieutenant saluted with a smile, turned and ran to the front car.
As the truck moved slowly, alik waved desperately to me on the fender of the car, shouting, "goodbye, mom! Goodbye, mom! Remember to come to me earlier. "
Alex's tender cry made my nose ache, and tears rolled in my eyes. If it wasn't for my image, I would have burst into tears. Turning around, I saw ulanova and takiyana standing behind them wiping their tears. He quickly turned his head back, raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eyes. Then he turned around, patted them on the shoulder and said with a smile: "don't be sad, ulanova and takiyana. I'm sure we'll see Eric again soon. You go back to the medical station, where there are many wounded people waiting for you to take care of After that, without waiting for them to speak, I turned around and looked in the direction of the division headquarters.
By the time I got back to the gate of the division headquarters, the guard camp had been assembled, and more than 200 officers and men were standing neatly on the road outside the headquarters. Seeing me coming back, a captain came out of the line and reported to me: "report to Mr. division commander, captain of guard camp, Gusev, report to you. Company 1 and company 2 are ordered to assemble and wait for your orders."
I frowned and asked, "why is there only one company, two companies, where is the third company?"
"Comrade division," boroda came out of the headquarters and explained to me, "the village needs troops to defend, so I left the third company behind."
I have no objection to the arrangement of boroda. After all, we can't transfer all the troops in the village just because we want to save people. So as not to be taken advantage of by the Germans and end our home. So I turned my head to captain Gusev and said, "Comrade captain, let me introduce your company commander."
The captain called the two captains in the line, pointed to a small commander and said, "this is captain bulda, a company commander. He used to be a reconnaissance platoon leader before, so his company will also be responsible for reconnaissance in this operation."
Captain bulda raised his hand to me and said, "Hello, sir."
After I saluted him, I nodded and said, "good job, captain. Take a good look. If this task can be successfully completed, I will certainly ask for credit for you. "
Then the captain introduced me to another black faced captain and said, "this is captain chumark, the second company commander. He used to be an artillery soldier, so this operation, mortars and other heavy weapons are equipped in his company
Captain chumark also stepped up, raised his hand to me and said, "Hello, Mr. division!"
Although I am not familiar with the officers and men of the guard camp, I have a preliminary understanding of the division of labor between the two companies after listening to captain Gusev's introduction. I am very satisfied with this way of introduction. It seems that there are many capable people in this division, but the problem lies in the former division leaders. Now that they are under my charge, I will certainly let them make the best use of their resources, make the best use of their talents, give full play to their abilities, and cultivate a team of my future.
Captain Gusev saw that I was very satisfied with the two company commanders, so he continued: "in this operation, we will first take a truck to the place not far from olejej. After getting off the bus, the second company will stay behind to guard the car and build simple fortifications. One company will go through the forest to olejej area and join the guerrillas of sakanov to rescue general afanasiyev."
I patted captain Gusev, who was a head higher than me, on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Comrade captain, your plan is good. That's how it is implemented. Where is the truck? "“ Report to Mr. commander, the truck is just to the west of the village. In addition to twenty trucks, there's an armored ca
