I was surprised at the news that Captain Slaven was the son of division commander biliukov. A general who is a division commander does not use his authority to put his son to the headquarters of the group army or even the headquarters of the front army with high safety factor as a staff officer, but to the most dangerous combat forces. Because I heard that my son was the commander of the night attack, I resolutely changed my mind and agreed to our combat plan. To know whether the attack at night will succeed or not, it is still an unknown number. The commanders and fighters involved in the operation are faced with a narrow fate. When I think of this, I feel a little more admiration than liukov.
While I was thinking about it, Lukin had already dialed the company commander of two companies in a row and was giving them the task of answering Slaven. He spoke to the microphone for a while, then raised his head to cover the microphone and asked me, "Comrade commander, the second company commander wants to talk to you. Do you want to answer or not?"
I nodded and said, "OK! I'll talk to him and see what's up with him. " After that, I took the microphone from his hand and put it in my ear. I said to the microphone with a smile: "Hello, company commander. I don't know what you want to see me about? "
"Hello, comrade commander." He addressed me respectfully, and when I heard his voice, I remembered that he was the officer who was talking about me behind my back with Slaven. He asked timidly, "I have a situation to reflect to you, OK?"
"Certainly, comrade company commander." Because I can't remember his rank, I can only call him his position, "if you have anything, just say it, and see if I can help you."
"Well, comrade commander." After getting my permission, the little company commander summoned up his courage and said, "just now, Captain Lukin called me and arranged for our company and the first company to meet captain Slaven's troops. However, nearly half of the soldiers in our company are unarmed at present."
"What, half the soldiers are unarmed?" I frowned and said, "that means you can only send half of your men to meet captain Slaven tonight?"
"Yes, comrade commander." After finishing this sentence, the second company commander asked anxiously, "I don't know when the regiment will be able to supply our company with weapons and ammunition?"
When I heard the second company commander's question, I thought for a moment, then said to him with a smile: "company commander, don't worry. After captain Slaven's troops have completed the attack and brought back the enemy's weapons and ammunition, I will quickly replenish the missing weapons and ammunition for each company. At that time, the first and second companies in charge of the mission will have the priority to choose weapons. "
As for my promise, the second company commander vowed: "thank you for your understanding. Please rest assured that our company will complete the task."
When I heard him say this, I felt more secure. I nodded and said, "as long as you can successfully complete the task, everything is easy to say."
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Slaven and his company set out in the dark. After receiving a call from a company commander who was on guard at the front, Lukin took a long breath and said, "well, it's up to captain Slaven whether the operation can be successful tonight. All we can do is wait. "
The clock pointed to 12 o'clock. Just as Lu Jin and I were walking around the command post like ants on a hot pot, the telephone on the desk rang. I picked up the receiver and said, "Hello! This is the 678th regiment command post. "
"How do you do, commander o'shanina!" General biliukov's voice came from the microphone. He asked a little hesitantly, "I'm calling you to ask if there's any news from the night attack troops?"
"I'm sorry, Comrade General." As for his question, I was a little embarrassed to say: "so far, we have not received any news from the seventh company. And there was silence on the other side of the enemy, and there was no gunfire for the time being. "
"So it is. I understand. Since it is calm outside, it proves that their actions have not been discovered by the enemy. I'll stay by the phone tonight and report to me as soon as they get back. " After he said these words and heard that I gave him a promise, he hung up.
As soon as biliukov's phone was put down, trakov's phone came one after another. He asked sternly, "commander oshanina, have the night Raiders arrived at the enemy's camp?"
I replied with a wry smile, "report commander, it's been an hour since the night attack troops started, but we still haven't received any information about them. As you know, our regiment is a newly adapted regiment. We don't even have enough ordinary communication equipment such as telephones, let alone advanced products such as walkie talkies. "
"All right, comrade oshanina." Trikov interrupted me in time and said with a smile: "don't call me poor. You say your regiment has communication equipment. Which army of my regiment doesn't lack these things? If the logistics department doesn't give me something, I can't add it. As for weapons, you can only supplement them by yourself. When there is news from the night attack troops, give me a call and I'll wait for your report in the observation post. "
After talking with trakov, I learned that in addition to us, general biliukov of the division headquarters and trakov in the lower kirskaya forward observation station were waiting for news of Slaven's night attack. The former is because the commander of the night attack is his own son, worried about his safety and unable to sleep at night; And trekov, because he was really worried about me, he was worried that there would be some mistakes in tonight's action, so he stayed by the phone, waiting for the result of our fight.
Although I knew the terrain of the German logistics camp at the time of the meeting just now, I still put the sketch on the table again to deduce the operation route of the Slaven troops with Lukin. At the end of the rehearsal, I was surprised to find that as long as they move quickly, they should be able to retreat before the nearby German troops react. Just after the deduction, the telephone on the desk rang. As soon as I saw that it was the telephone that contacted the army and regiment headquarters below, I guessed that it might be related to the night attack troops. I picked up the microphone and said in a hurry, "I'm commander o'shanina. What's the situation? Please say“ Report to the head of the group The excited voice of the second company commander came from the microphone, and he excitedly reported: "Slaven, they've come back, and they've brought back 20 trucks of ammunition."“ What? " I didn't believe the operation was so smooth, so I asked: "company commander, are you sure Slaven's men drove the truck back?"“ Yes, comrade commander. " The second company commander replied in a positive tone: "I know many of the soldiers driving. I'm arranging for the soldiers to unload."“ How many people are back? "“ Each car was a driver and a escort, and a total of 40 people came back. " When I heard that there were only so many people coming back, my heart suddenly cooled. Just now, I learned from Lukin that there were seven infantry companies in the regiment, each of which had more than 150 people. Now there are 40 people coming back. Doesn't that mean that Slaven's company has almost run out? Because he didn't mention Slaven in the report, my heart couldn't help but raise to my throat. My heart said that Slaven won't sacrifice, right? "Where's captain Slaven, the seventh company commander?" I asked After a moment's silence, the second company commander replied: "report to the commander, I asked the returning soldiers. The soldiers said that Captain Slaven was still in the logistics camp. He asked the soldiers to pull the 20 trucks of ammunition back to our army, and then empty the trucks to continue to pull the ammunition. There are enough weapons and equipment for two regiments in the logistics camp. " It's nothing to hear of Captain Slaven. I feel a lot more at ease. Hearing that there are more weapons and ammunition stored in the camp, I can't help but feel excited. If so much ammunition is pulled back, the equipment level of our regiment can be upgraded, so I ordered the second company commander: "comrade company commander, after the truck is unloaded, send two platoons of soldiers and empty cars back to the logistics camp to help captain Slaven carry weapons and equipment. You lead the team yourself. "
