I took the trouble to tell captain Slaven that he would screw things up. After all, I sent troops to attack without asking for instructions. If we can win, everyone will be happy, and Mr. bilukov will not say anything; If I fail, then I have to bear the responsibility. What is waiting for me is the fate of being dismissed and investigated.
Seeing that I repeatedly told Slaven, Lukin standing beside me could not help laughing. Maybe he thought I was too cautious. But I can't be cautious about this kind of thing. The success or failure of this action is related to my future and destiny.
When I put down the phone, Lukin laughed and comforted me and said, "don't worry, comrade commander. According to what I know about captain Slaven, he will be able to complete this mission successfully."
I really appreciate Lu Jin, an old subordinate. He is not only brave in war, but also intelligent. The original ambush was planned to be launched by the troops lying in ambush on the south side of the road. After driving the enemy to the north side of the road, he led the troops to attack from the enemy's rear. As a result, I didn't expect that those Germans didn't retreat in a hurry after our sudden attack, but stayed on the road, relying on trucks to continue to resist. Seeing that the situation of the enemy had changed, instead of being indecisive, Lu Jin decisively led his troops to launch an attack, and he fought back and forth with us, completely annihilating the German ambushed. In view of this, I have great confidence in him. Since he said that the night attack mission can be successfully completed, it is very likely that the mission will be successfully completed.
Just now, trikov told me to report the operation to the division headquarters on the phone, so he picked up the phone and prepared to report the dispatch of troops to the division commander, general biliukov. When the phone was connected and general biliukov's voice came out of the microphone, I covered the microphone with my hand and asked Lukin again, "Comrade captain, are you sure the operation tonight will be successful?"
The reason why I ask again is because caring is chaotic. I really have no idea whether the night attack tonight can achieve the desired effect. Seeing Lu Jin's resolute nod, I moved my hand away from the microphone and politely said to the microphone, "Hello, sir. I'm lieutenant commander o'shanina, acting head of the 678th regiment. "
"Hello, comrade commander. Call me at this time. What can I do for you? " Bilukov did not show any politeness to me. He asked directly.
"Sir, I want to report a situation to you. After I got to the regiment, I found that many soldiers were unarmed
"Yes, comrade commander. I understand what you said. You know, our division has just been adapted from the reserve force. It's normal that there are not enough weapons. " Without waiting for me to finish, bilukov interrupted me and said to himself, "when the weapons and equipment supplied to our division by the logistics Quartermaster arrive, I will give priority to your regiment."
"But, sir. If the soldiers don't have weapons, they can't fight the enemy who is armed to the teeth. "
Perhaps dissatisfied with my complaints, bilukov said with some displeasure, "commander oshanina, what are you going to do? I don't have any extra weapons in my hand now, and I can't supply them to you. "
I hesitated for a moment, and finally told him honestly about the plan of the night attack tonight: "Sir, comrade, I plan to send a company to attack the enemy's logistics camp and seize weapons from the enemy to arm our soldiers."
After listening, biliukov was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "commander oshanina, what do you say? Are you going to send troops to attack the enemy's logistics camp? Did you make a rash decision? You know, the German army always defends the material camp where weapons and ammunition are stored tightly. If you want to capture the enemy's camp and seize their weapons with just one company, it's impossible. No, I don't agree with your plan. Cancel the attack immediately after dark. "
"Comrade division," I was not sure about the night attack tonight, but when I heard that from biliukov, my attitude became firm. The more you said no, I still had to carry out the night attack. But without his consent, no matter what the final result, I would leave an impression of no superior in his mind, so I patiently explained to him: "according to the report of the sent scouts, the enemy did not pay attention to the logistics camp, the location was far away from the main force, and the number of Guard troops was not many, only about 100 people, This just gives us an opportunity. As long as our troops don't make much noise during the sneak attack, and without disturbing the main force of the enemy, we can annihilate the garrison guarding the logistics camp and quietly transport back the enemy's weapons and ammunition to arm our commanders and fighters. "
"I'm glad you can think of that." After praising me, bilukov went on to say his reasons for opposition: "but have you ever thought that, even if the logistics camp is far away from the main force of the enemy, you can think of sneak attack, can't the Germans think of it? In addition to the garrison in the camp, they are expected to have observation posts nearby. If we can't destroy the garrison in the camp in a short time and expose the target, the reinforcements near the German army will arrive in time. At that time, not to mention seizing the enemy's weapons, it will be our army's sneak attack troops. If we are careless, we will lose the whole army. "
I could not help nodding when I heard such a remark from biliukov. He was so thoughtful that I could not help looking up at him. As I was about to continue my defense, I suddenly saw Lu Jin gesturing to me. It seemed that he had something to say. I quickly covered the microphone again and asked in a low voice, "what's the matter? Comrade captain. " Lu Jin also replied in a low voice: "Comrade commander, is it the division commander who does not agree with our night attack?" I didn't speak, just nodded gently“ Please tell the division commander that it is captain Slaven who is going to carry out the mission. He and his company have rich experience in night attack. " At this point, Lu Jin lowered his voice again and said in an almost inaudible voice: "there are more than a dozen soldiers in the company, who are from the independent battalion. They have rich combat experience." Originally, I wanted to ask a few more questions. At this time, biliukov's impatient voice came from the microphone: "Hello! Hello! Comrade commander, what are you doing? Why don't you say something? Did you hear what I just said? I now order you to cancel tonight's operation immediately. " I pondered for a while and felt it was necessary to gamble now, so I said slowly: "Comrade division, the night attack troops have already started. If they are allowed to withdraw now, it will cause a fatal blow to the low morale of the regiment. Please believe me, I have rich combat experience, according to my feeling, tonight's operation will be successful. " At this point, looking at the anxious look on Lu Jin's face in front of me, I suddenly remembered what he had just said, and quickly added: "the operation tonight is under the command of Captain Slaven, the seventh company commander." When he heard me talking about Slaven, biliukov was silent. After a moment, he said, "well, I agree with your plan for the night attack, but I still think it's too risky. Well, in order to be safe, you have to send troops to meet them and make sure they can return safely after completing the night attack plan. "“ Yes Hearing that he finally agreed to my plan, I happily agreed, "please rest assured, sir. I'll arrange it right away. You'll wait for our success." When I hung up the phone, I sat down on the stool with a sigh of relief, raised my hand to wipe the sweat on my forehead, took a sip of the tea from Lu Jin, and then said, "Comrade captain, the division commander has agreed to our plan of night attack. However, he put forward a condition that in order to ensure the safety of the night attack forces, we should send a force to meet them and ensure that they can return safely after completing their tasks. " Lukin nodded slightly and said, "no problem. I'll call the company commanders of the first and second companies and ask them to set out to meet captain Slavin immediately after the explosion in the enemy's logistics camp." When Lukin picked up the phone to call the two company commanders, it suddenly occurred to me that the division commander had changed his mind and agreed to our plan after hearing the name of Slaven. It was really strange. So I asked curiously, "Lukin, why do you want me to tell the division commander that the attack tonight was under the command of Captain Slaven?" Lukin gave me a smile and said, "because captain Slaven is the son of the division commander."
