Chapter 418

We went down from the south side of the hill to the parking lot. Colpackge went to his own jeep, opened the back door and went in. I looked around and saw that the jeep I was sitting in was at the end of the team. I turned around and walked in that direction.

Within a few steps, I heard colpakchi calling me from behind. I quickly stopped, turned and trotted to his side, politely asked: "Comrade commander, do you have any instructions?"

He poked his head out of the car window and asked, "I said, commander o'shanina, where are you going?"

I pointed to the back and answered honestly, "report to the commander, my car is at the end of the team."

"That car is for captain shamikov. You can go with me in my car."

I quickly promised, opened the door of the front passenger's bridge and sat in.

Seeing me get on the bus, the driver smiles and nods to me. Instead of driving immediately, he turns to ask korpakchi, "Comrade commander, when can we start?"

"When all the staff in the headquarters come down, we'll go." With that, colpakchi leaned back in his chair and began to close his eyes.

However, the staff didn't make us wait long. They soon loaded all the communication equipment and various documents they were carrying. When a staff officer came to report that he was ready to leave at any time, he opened his eyes and said to the driver, "drive!"

On the way to the Koska River defense line, kolpakchi sat back in his chair and closed his eyes. The driver was driving with his heart. I couldn't find anyone to talk to, so I had to look out the dark window in a daze.

After nearly an hour's driving along the rough road, the jeep took a turn to the right. With the help of the light, I saw a temporary checkpoint at the intersection in front of me. On both sides of the road were simple fortifications piled up with sandbags, in which two soldiers in steel helmets were on guard with machine guns pointing to the road.

Seeing our motorcade passing by, two soldiers came out of the inspection station, raised their hands, stopped our car, and asked aloud, "standing there, which part are you from?"

I turned my head and looked at colpakchi in the back row. He opened his eyes and said to me, "commander oshanina, go and negotiate with them and see what part of them they are?"

With a promise, I pushed the door open and went down. For my sudden action, the soldiers at the checkpoint were very nervous. Two soldiers standing in front of the car pointed their guns at me. Even the sound of pulling the bolt came from the simple fortification.

I walked up to the two soldiers. With the help of the lamp light, I could see the soldiers standing in front of me. They were wearing black uniforms. From their open collars, I could clearly see the sea soul sweaters inside. Although they were wearing helmets, they didn't wear navy caps with streamers, but I'm sure they belonged to the Navy infantry. So I asked with a smile, "Comrade soldier, are you from the Navy infantry brigade?"

The two navy soldiers did not answer my question. After looking at each other, one of them, obviously with a higher rank, tentatively asked, "Comrade commander, which part are you from? What are you going to do in our line of defense? "

"I'm lieutenant colonel oshanina, adjutant to group command, and I'm accompanying commander General kolpakchi to the Koska River defense." After indicating my identity, I asked, "which division's defense area is this?" The reason why I ask this question is that when I heard the dialogue between korpakchi and shamikov just now, I know that there are several divisions of the group army in the Koska River defense line. We have been driving for a long time without knowing which division's defense has come.

When I heard that the commander was on the jeep, the soldier with high rank looked into the jeep sideways and immediately stood at attention, saluted me and respectfully reported: "report commander, we are from the 102nd naval infantry brigade, belonging to the 192nd infantry division. If we go a few hundred meters ahead, we will be our brigade headquarters, brigade commander... No, we are now division commander, Comrade division commander and several other friendly commanders are having a meeting in it. "

At this time, kolpakchi also pushed open the door and came down. Two navy soldiers quickly raised their hands to salute him. He nodded and asked, "Comrade soldier, are you a subordinate of commander tarantsev?" After hearing the soldier's loud reply, he ordered the soldier, "get in the car and take us to the headquarters."

After korpakchi and I got on the train one after another, the soldier waved his hands in the direction of the checkpoint and yelled, "move the roadblock!" After shouting, he went to the driver, stepped on the pedal and stood up. The whole person hung outside the car door to show us the way.

On the way to the headquarters, we met two patrol teams and stopped us to ask for the password. Fortunately, the soldiers who led us knew the password, so we could come to the headquarters without obstruction.

Two sentinels stood at the gate of the headquarters. Seeing the arrival of our motorcade, they came to check with guns. At this time, the soldiers who led the way jumped out of the car and went to the sentinels. They first gave the order and then showed them our identity. The sentry put the gun back on his shoulder and went outside our car to salute.

After korpakchi got off the bus, the soldier who led the way ran back to him and said, "Comrade commander, the headquarters is here. Do you want me to go in and call the brigade commander out to meet you?" Colpakchi waved his hand and said, "no, I'll go in myself. Comrade soldier, now you should go back to your post. Thank you for leading us Then he reached out and shook his hand with the soldier. After releasing his hand, he waved his head to me. "Come on, commander oshanina, let's go to the headquarters." I followed colpakchi into the headquarters. In the middle of this narrow room, there is a big wooden table. Seven or eight commanders are puffing around the table. The whole room is filled with smoke. Although there are a steam lamp on each side of the wall, the light in the room is still dim“ Hello, comrades in command As soon as kolpakchi stopped, he called out to the people in the room. When people in the room heard colpakchi's voice, they all stood up and came over from the table to salute him. For a moment, the room was as busy as a vegetable market. After everyone said hello, colpark wizard pulled me in front of the crowd and introduced me to everyone, saying, "this is my adjutant lieutenant colonel o'shanina." Seeing that the adjutant of the commander was a woman, all the commanders on the scene were stunned, staring at me in a daze, and no one spoke. Seeing this, kolpakchi shrunk his mouth and pointed to the commander in front of him to introduce him to me: "this is major general walshin, the commander of the 147th division. Next to him is Comrade Kotov, his political commissar."“ The 181st division commander, major general Novikov, and his political commissar, comrade Lu Jianke. "“ This is the commander of this headquarters, the 102nd naval infantry brigade, and now the commander of the 192nd division, Lt. Col. talanzev. " When colpakchi introduced a commander, I raised my hand to salute him and said hello politely. After all this, kolpakchi went to the table and sat down, and asked the rest of the commanders to take their seats. I knew that in this case, I was not qualified to sit, so I obediently came to the wall, stood with my back against the log wall, and honestly acted as my spectator. "Before I came, what were you talking about in the meeting?" kolpakchi asked after glancing at all the commanders present“ Comrade report commander, "Lieutenant Commander talanzev stood up and replied," we are studying the division of our respective defense areas. " When he heard this, kolpakchi frowned slightly and looked unhappy. Then he asked in a stern tone, "isn't the defense area of the Koska River defense line divided long ago? Why don't you deploy your forces according to the areas divided by the group army, but study the re division of defense areas here? " General walshing of the 147th division stood up and said, "Comrade commander, you don't know that the front of our division and 181st division is too wide. Now there is a new 102nd naval infantry brigade. We are planning to deploy them at the junction of the two divisions. If the frontiers of our two divisions are shortened, more troops can be put into the defense depth. In this way, we will be more confident of blocking the German attack. " At this time, the staff who came with us walked into the headquarters one after another, saluted kolpakchi and began to be busy. The communication staff put several leading telephones on the wooden table. However, the original telephone on the table was picked up by a staff officer. It seems that he is going to take it away. Tarantsev looked at them blankly and asked the communication staff who took the phone: "staff officer, you took my phone away, how can I command the army?" Instead of answering his question, the staff officer with the phone in his hand looked at colpakchi. Kolpakchi quickly stood up and explained to tarantsev, "Comrade commander, I plan to set up the new temporary headquarters here. You can't let me command the whole group army with brigade level telephone lines, can you? When we finish the meeting, you'll find a place nearby and move your headquarters there. " With that, he waved to the staff officer, indicating what he should do, not to talk to tarantsev. Taranzev saw that the commander said so, so he had to smile bitterly and sit down again. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, kolpakchi asked him, "Comrade tarantsev, have your troops entered the new defense area?" Taranzev quickly stood up again and replied, "report, comrade commander, all the officers and men of the 102nd naval infantry brigade have entered the designated position an hour ago. The defeated troops of the 192nd Division will enter the position at dawn after being taken in and reorganized. "
