Chapter 439

Trikov looked at the two division commanders standing in front of him with a solemn expression. He slowly raised his hands, put them on the shoulders of bilukov and soboli, and said in a hoarse voice, "go back and set up the defense. Remember to hold the position at all costs and never let the enemy approach our ferry, The danger of the enemy's attempt to attack Stalingrad from the lower chilskaya area should be completely eliminated. Do you understand? "

Biliukov nodded vigorously and said, "I see. We must hold the position." After that, he looked around at the commissar and said, "Comrade commander, I want to ask you one more thing."

Trekov took his hand off their shoulders, looked at him and asked with interest, "come on, sir, what do you want to hear from me?"

"Comrade commander, as you know, the commanders of that regiment are almost dead and wounded. Without the command of the commanders, the troops can't fight. Do you think you can give me some more commanders?"

Trekov looked at the sparse staff of the observation post, then sighed and said, "general biliukov, can't you see that? I don't have a spare commander here. " From my heart, this request is not too much, but the timing is not right. You know, a few hours ago, trakov had just lost a large number of commanders. There were not enough staff around him, and there were no redundant people to act as grassroots commanders.

Biliukov's eyes glanced at me and shamikov. Then he nuzzled at us and said, "Comrade commander, isn't there a commander available?"

Trikov turned to look at it, and his eyes lit up. He said to korpakchi with a gentle smile, "old man, I want to discuss something with you. Can I borrow one of your subordinates? You know, general biliukov's division needs a commander who can be a commander. "

When trakov and korpakchi were talking, I turned to look at him and thought that he was the best choice for the commander. A few days ago, he stayed in the enemy's rear with a troop and fought tenaciously, leading a large number of enemy troops who tried to attack the Koska River defense line. In addition to his rich combat experience, he was also trakov's life-saving benefactor.

As for trakov's request, korpakchi almost agreed without hesitation. He said generously, "well, dear Vasili Ivanovich, I don't think I can find any reason to refuse your request."

"Dear Vladimir Yakovlev, it's very kind of you. I knew you wouldn't refuse my request. Well, let lieutenant commander oshanina be the commander of general biliukov's division. "

When he heard that trakov chose me, korpakchi's smile froze on his face. He asked incredulously, "excuse me, comrade trakov, who did you choose? Can you repeat that?"

Trikov said with a smile: "Lieutenant Commander oshanina, as far as I know, she has rich combat experience and has held many important positions in the army. I believe she is fully qualified for the position of commander in chief."

I looked at kolpakchi's embarrassed face and prayed in my heart: Comrade commander, please don't agree to trakov's request. I'm not a panacea. I'll wipe it where I need it. Two days ago, I took part in the counterattack. If I hadn't been hiding under the tank, and then I happened to blow up the German firepower, I would have been one of the dead.

While korpakchi was thinking, biliukov was worried. He wanted to ask trakov to arrange a commander with combat experience to serve as the commander. Unexpectedly, trakov chose me. He reminded trakov in a low voice: "Comrade commander, what I need is a commander with rich combat experience. But you have assigned me a female commander. Is she competent for the post of commander? "

Trikov waved to me to let me pass him, then turned around, still smiling gently, patted bilukov on the shoulder thoughtfully, and said, "Sir, do you know the eighth guards division?"

General biliukov nodded his head and said, "I know that it was general Panfilov's 316 infantry division. Because of his outstanding fighting spirit and great achievements in the battle of defending Moscow, it was renamed as the 8th guard division. What impressed me most was krochkov, the division's first-class political instructor. Before his sacrifice, he cried out: "although Russia is big, we have no way back, because Moscow is behind us." Every commander in the division knows his famous saying. "

Trikov said with a smile: "Comrade biliukov, maybe you don't know that oshanina and krochkov fought side by side. At that time, one of them was the battalion commander and the other was the political instructor. In addition, after the 316 division was awarded the honorary title of the eighth division of the guards, the first division commander was lieutenant colonel o'shanina. " My experience of fighting side by side with krochkov changed bilukov's view of me. When he heard that I was the first division commander of the eighth division of the guards, he was stunned.

Sopholli, the political commissar of the division who had never spoken, came up to me, took the initiative to extend his hand and said in a friendly way, "commander o'shanina, welcome to the 214th infantry division."

Now that I was in a dilemma, I had to shake hands with him with a smile. I said that in this situation, going to your 214 division would be death. After shaking hands, I turned to kolpakchi next to me, hoping that he would reject trakov's offer, so that I could stay in the 62nd army headquarters. I didn't expect that korpakchi misunderstood me. Maybe he thought that when trakov proposed to let me work in the 64th army a few days ago, I was a little excited. When he invited me again today, I would like to go very much, so he generously made a favor: "Comrade trakov, since commander oshanina has no objection, I will send her to the 214th division for the time being. But I've agreed with you in advance that once there is a suitable candidate, she will come back to my 62nd army immediately. "“ OK, that's a deal. Thank you for your selfless assistance. " After shaking hands with korpakchi again, trikov turned to liukov and said, "Sir, what are you still doing here? Take commander oshanina back to the division quickly. You should also seize the time to deploy your defense and prepare to resist the German attack tomorrow. "“ Yes Biliukov agreed, and then said to me, "commander oshanina, let's go." Seeing that everything is irreparable, I really want to cry without tears. I can only try to squeeze out a smile and salute and say goodbye to trikov and kolpakchi.
