Chapter 455

Through the battle just now, I suddenly felt that it was inconvenient for me to directly command the company beyond the battalion level organizational system. Although the regiment suffered heavy losses in yesterday's air raid, after all, there are still seven companies with thousands of people. If it is a relatively easy fight just now, I can directly command each company. But if the war is fierce, I'll call again and give orders one by one, it's easy to delay the fighters, so it's urgent to restore the battalion level organizational system.

Holding the battle report recording the number of casualties of our regiment in my hand, I was thinking about how to allocate the existing seven companies to the new battalion. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that Lu Jin, who came back from the seventh company, stood beside me for a long time, but I didn't notice it.

Later, it was Lu Jin who coughed gently beside me, which turned my attention away from the war report. I looked at Lu Jin, who was black with smoke. I couldn't help laughing. I pointed to his face and said, "Comrade captain, wipe your face. It looks like a coal worker."

Lu Jin also laughed, raised his hand to wipe his face and asked, "Comrade commander, what are you thinking? I've been standing by your side for so long, and you didn't find me. "

I handed him the battle report in my hand and said, "this is the battle report I just received. After two battles, the second company suffered the most casualties, with more than two thirds of the casualties. At present, there are only more than 60 people left."

Lu Jinbian listened to me and looked at the war report. After a few eyes, he frowned and said, "Comrade commander, do you mean to add up the second company as soon as possible?"

I shook my head and said, "we have no reserves at all except for the seventh company to supplement the company with heavy losses in front of us. What's more, the next battle will be more cruel. The seventh company can't be used casually. "

Lu Jin was confused. He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "what do you mean?"

"The second company and the fifth company were replaced. The fifth company only suffered more than a dozen casualties, and there are more than 140 people in the whole company. If they are transferred up, we can enrich the defensive strength of the first line of defense." When I said this, I suddenly thought of rebuilding the battalion level organizational system, and added, "in order to facilitate the command, I intend to restore the battalion level organizational system in the regiment."

"Restore the organizational system at the battalion level?" Lu Jin could not help but be stunned, and then asked: "how to recover?"

Before Lu Jin planned my thoughts, I had a preliminary idea. Now that he asked, I said it all out: "at present, the first company, the third company and the fifth company in the first line of defense form a battalion, and the battalion commander is a company commander; The second company, the fourth company and the sixth company of the second line of defense form the second battalion, and the battalion commander is the second company commander; The seventh company is under the direct command of the regiment headquarters. "

After listening to my new marshalling plan, Lu Jin nodded and echoed: "Comrade commander, organize the existing troops into two battalions, and convey the orders to the battalion level, and then from the battalion level down. This marshalling plan is very appropriate, and I agree with you."

Seeing that Lu Jin didn't object, I felt more secure. I told him: "then you can call and convey this matter to several company commanders below."

As soon as captain Lukin had passed on the matter of establishing a battalion level organizational system to the company below, the phone call from division commander biliukov came in again. "Commander o'shanina, I want to inform you of an important thing. You have to prepare yourself first," he said in a hurry on the phone

His words made my heart tighten. My heart said what it was. Even the calm teacher became so panicked. "The situation has become more complicated. I have just received a call from the commander saying that about 5000 of the broken up remnants of the 57th group army are rushing to the ferry behind your regiment's line of defense," biliukov said. According to the reconnaissance, the German troops pursuing them are also moving towards the defense area of your regiment. It is estimated that they will arrive in half an hour. Now your regiment's task is to hold fast to its present position, block the enemy's possible attack, cover the 57th group army to cross the Don river safely and build a new defensive position on the left bank. "

It's said that it's the task of covering the troops to cross the river. I didn't care too much about it. Anyway, there are only a few thousand people. If we move fast, maybe we can all cross the bridge on the river and reach the left bank of Don River in half an hour. Therefore, he replied with disapproval, "please rest assured that our regiment will resolutely block the German attack and cover the friendly troops to cross the Don River smoothly."

Perhaps biliukov recognized from my tone that I didn't pay attention to the enemy, and quickly added, "commander oshanina, the enemy is coming. You can't underestimate the enemy. You know, in the morning's air raid, the enemy planes had blown up the bridges on the Don river. At present, thousands of officers and men crowded by the river lacked enough crossing equipment, and they could not cross the river for several hours. This requires your regiment to carry forward the spirit of fearing neither hardship nor death, fight tenaciously with the enemy, beat back the enemy's attack, and cover our troops to cross the river. "

After listening to biliukov's words, I suddenly became nervous and my heart beat violently. My heart beat my chest and seemed to want to jump out of it. I extremely reluctantly laughed and replied, "please rest assured, sir. As long as there is one person in our regiment, I will firmly hold the field."

Biliukov said with satisfaction: "very good, comrade commander. I hope your performance will be as beautiful as you said. I repeat the order, hold the line at all costs! "

I quickly straightened up and repeated aloud, "yes, sir. Hold on to your position at all costs! " I handed the microphone to Lu Jin and said solemnly: "the division commander called and said that the enemy might launch a fierce attack on our regiment's position soon. Let's get ready. At the same time, he ordered us to hold the position at all costs and cover the friendly troops to cross the river. You order battalion one to lay anti tank mines in front of the position immediately. We lack enough anti tank weapons, so we have to rely on mines to blow up enemy tanks. By the way, tell a battalion commander to bury all the anti tank mines in the road where the tanks have just passed, so that the probability of bombing the enemy's tanks is higher. " Taking advantage of Lu Jin's phone call, I sat down in the corner, poured the north tea by myself, and considered how to deal with the coming brutal battle while drinking. Before long, the sudden ringing of the telephone broke my train of thought. I frowned and looked at Lu Jin who answered the phone. In my heart, I secretly scolded the caller for not knowing what to do, not calling early or late. Just when I was thinking about the problem, I called and interrupted my train of thought. Later, I had to scold him. Unexpectedly, Lu Jin directly handed the microphone to me and said in a low voice, "it's the teacher's phone." Didn't you just call the teacher? Why did you call again? Although I feel a little dissatisfied with the frequent calls from my teachers, I still have to smile and politely ask, "Hello, comrade teachers! Would you like to call me at this time? Do you have any new instructions? " Instead of being polite to me, bilukov said directly, "commander oshanina, I've just received an order from the commander. He asked our division to cross the river with the remnants of the 57th group army and build a new defensive zone on the left bank of the Don river. "“ what? Our division crossed the river with the 57th army? " Hearing this news, I can't help but be surprised. Soon after receiving the order to hold the position and cover the friendly troops crossing the river, the new order to let us cross the river came again. Isn't this a pastime? I asked cautiously, "Comrade division, didn't you just give me the order to hold the position? You know, we are fortifying the fortifications to prepare against the German attack. " Biliukov said coldly: "Comrade commander, orders from higher authorities are not allowed to be discussed. Since Comrade commander ordered our division to cross the river, we should carry out the order. If the enemy comes to attack, you must resolutely block them. As soon as the friendly troops are about to cross the river, your regiment will immediately withdraw from its position and rush to the river crossing. "“ What if the enemy catches up? " When I heard that I was going to retreat under the enemy's eyes, I could not help feeling a little flustered. If the troops were attacked during the retreat, they would be completely defeated, and then they would be defeated like a mountain“ Do you want me to teach you how to retreat? " Biliukov said impatiently, "just fight and retreat, and cover the withdrawal position alternately."
