Chapter 376

I said hello politely, but the result attracted the other side to scold: "major o'shanina, are you out of your mind? He didn't stay in his division headquarters all day, but he went to attack some German camp. Now, let's get revenge from the Germans. You see, the Germans have only three planes, which has caused us so much damage. In just a few minutes, more than 300 people were killed and nearly one battalion was disabled. According to the way you play, the 378th division can stand up to you for a few days. "

What happened in the village of piatnica was so soon known to general kolovnikov. Who on earth sued? For a moment, I didn't know what to do with the general's accusation, and I didn't know how to respond to him. I could only look at boroda standing by for help.

Facing my eyes for help, boroda cried, shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands, and made a gesture of helplessness. According to his reaction, I guess that just before I came in, he was being scolded by the commander of the group army for me, so he no longer took any chances and listened to kolovnikov's rebuke honestly.

It's the hardest thing to be scolded for not being able to answer back, especially when kolovnikov's words are so ugly. Although I want to refute and fight back, I shut up when I thought that doing so would be like committing the following offence. We should know that in the Soviet army, which is a highly hierarchical army, we must abide by certain rules, especially as subordinates, it is a necessary quality to obey the orders of the superiors. Otherwise, if there are strong subordinates who rely on their own qualifications, they can ignore the instructions of the superiors and disobey the orders of the superiors. In particular, at the meeting of the headquarters of the front army just now, the following offenders argued for the loss of general privalov's prestige, and were dismissed and submitted to the military court. After this incident, it is estimated that many people have already taken precautions against me, which can be seen from the attitude of general starikov, commander of the eighth group army, to me. In addition, kolovnikov was always worried about me because I took the position of his favorite general. He finally grasped me and didn't take the opportunity to teach me a lesson.

His reprimand lasted for half an hour. When he stopped talking, I could clearly hear the sound of drinking water coming from the receiver. It seems that he stopped because he was so dry. Taking advantage of the opportunity that he did not speak, although I was unwilling, I still kept a low profile and took the initiative to admit my mistake to him: "Comrade commander, you are right in your criticism. It's all my fault that I launched the harassing battle against the Germans without asking for your instructions in advance and obtaining your permission. I sincerely admit my mistake to you and hope to get your understanding. "

With my insincere admission of my mistake, the tone on the other side eased down: "well, major o'shanina, it's a good progress that you can recognize your mistake. Remember, if there is any military action in the future, we must inform the headquarters of the group army in advance. Otherwise, how can I help you coordinate the friendly and neighboring forces to fight together? "

When kolovnikov finished, I quickly continued, "yes, comrade commander, you are quite right. In the end, he deserves to be a commander, that is to say, he stands higher and looks farther than those of us junior commanders. You can rest assured that if there are any more military operations in the future, I will report them to you in advance and implement them only with your consent. "

My flattery made kolovnikov feel good. He laughed and said, "well, you've just come back from the front line. You must be tired. Go and have a rest. By the way, let me remind you that you have made a hornet's nest today. Maybe your division headquarters will become the target of German attack. You should take precautions as soon as possible. " Then he hung up.

I put down the phone, gave a wry smile at boroda, and then asked, "Comrade chief of staff, I want to know why the comrades of the group army commander knew so quickly about our fighting situation near the village of piatnica? Who reported it? "

When I asked, boroda's face sank and he shook his head and said, "I don't know. First, I received a telegram from captain bulda, a company commander, saying that you had annihilated a puppet company of the eastern battalion and rescued hundreds of captured soldiers of our army. They were staying in piatnica Village and asked the division headquarters to send trucks to meet them. After receiving the telegram, without saying a word, I immediately mobilized enough vehicles to meet you in piatnica village. About ten minutes before you went back to the headquarters, I received another telegram, this time from captain Gusev. He said that after you met in the village of piatnica, you were attacked by the German army. As there were no effective counter weapons, the troops suffered heavy casualties. After reading this telegram, without waiting for me to make any arrangement, the Group Commander's call came. You know the rest. "

When I heard what boroda said, I probably knew that it was one of Gusev or bulda who reported to the headquarters of the group army by leapfrogging to the next level after informing the headquarters of the division through his telephone. This was the incident that boroda and I were trained one after another. However, this is not the right time to investigate this matter. I thought of the reminder made by kolovnikov just now before he hung up the phone, so I asked boroda, "Comrade chief of staff, do you think our fight with the Germans today will attract their revenge?"

Boroda thought for a moment, then nodded his head and said, "Sir, I think it's very possible. If only a puppet company is destroyed by you, it is estimated that they have not responded so much. The problem is that you have also rescued hundreds of soldiers who were captured by them. At the same time, in the process of retreat, you have taught their pursuers a lesson. So I think it is possible for them to retaliate. I expect that the German army will soon enter the village of piatnica and send offensive troops to our headquarters. " After listening to boroda's analysis, I think what he said is very reasonable. What we should do now is to take precautions. Otherwise, when the German calls, I can't find a place to cry. So I asked, "how many troops do we have in the village?"“ The first and second security companies have been taken away by you, but they have not been built yet. There is only one third security company, plus independent telephone company, medical station and other logistics units, there are probably more than 200 people in the village Hearing that there were only such a few people, I realized that if I wanted to fight, I would not be able to fight even one of the Germans, so I asked, "is there any troops nearby that can be mobilized?"“ Yes, "boroda moved the map in front of me, pointed at our village, and then said," two infantry battalions of Colonel sholov are deployed in the South and east of the village. They are not far away. If we need reinforcements, we can arrive in ten minutes. In order to protect the division headquarters, Colonel Donskoy also deployed two tank companies to the west of the village. " After listening to the deployment of our army, I immediately ordered boroda: "immediately transfer the two battalions of sholov to the north of the village, repair the fortifications, and prepare to fight against the possible German attack." Boroda agreed, picked up the phone and started dialing. After dialing, he said frankly, "I'm boroda, chief of staff of the division. I now order you to gather your troops immediately and quickly rush to the north of the division headquarters to build fortifications and prepare to fight against the possible German attack." At this point, he suddenly Leng for a while, repeatedly asked: "what do you say, repeat it again?" After getting the exact answer, he took the microphone away from his ear, blushed and said to me in a low voice: "Comrade division, the other side said that no one can mobilize a soldier without the order of Colonel sholov."“ What? " When I heard that there were such arrogant subordinates, I couldn't help but be surprised. I quickly went over to take the phone and asked, "I'm acting teacher, major oshanina. Who are you?" When the other party heard my voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "report to Mr. deputy. I'm major Caucasus. I'm waiting for your order."“ Good, comrade major. Since you are at my command, I now order you to gather your troops at once, drive quickly to the north of the village and build fortifications. "“ But, comrade teacher. " Caucasus heard my order, can not help but a little flustered: "I have no right to move troops to other places before I get the order of Colonel sholov." Hearing his explanation, I couldn't help getting angry and said sternly, "Comrade major, please make it clear whether it is the division commander or the regiment commander? Should you listen to the teacher or the commander? "“ But, but,.... "hearing my severe tone, Caucasus became more flustered and stuttered, unable to say a complete word for a long time. I didn't wait for him to finish, then I interrupted him: "OK, comrade major, this is an order. Carry it out. As for Colonel sholov, I'll let him know. " Seeing that I had said this, Caucasus knew that it was useless to resist orders again, so he could only honestly promise: "understand, comrade division commander, I will go to gather troops immediately." When boroda answered the phone, he gave me a thumbs up sign that what I said just now was so beautiful that he took care of the other party at once. Then, when he called another infantry battalion and tank company, he used the way I just said, not to mention the effect was really obvious. The commander who received the order promised to assemble his troops immediately and prepare to quickly move to the designated place.
