Chapter 515

Despite the fact that the enemy's plane was still raging in the air, I almost cried and rushed to the women soldiers who fell to the ground.

The nearest one to me was black haired garka, whose uniform was red with blood. After my examination, I found that a piece of lethal shrapnel had cut her throat. She didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to us, so she was taken away by death.

I can see that if it goes on like this, it will become my commendation meeting. I quickly asked, "by the way, why don't you see two military commissars in the headquarters? Where have they gone?"

Shumilov went to his seat and sat down. He replied, "after the bombing, comrade serdyuk went to inspect the troops near the headquarters to learn about the casualties of the troops. And Comrade Abramov, take people to meet the convoy of explosives. "

Trekov beckoned me to his side. He pointed to the map on the wall and said to me, "just now Colonel sarin sent a telegram saying that two companies had been sent out to harass the enemy positions. The enemy's performance is very strange. In the face of our attack, the enemy is not willing to leave the position at all except to return fire with mortars and machine guns. "

Hearing what trakov said, I asked tentatively, "Comrade General, do you mean that the enemy is really sending troops from renok area to strengthen the spartanovka area, trying to break through our defense line from here?"

"It seems so." Trekov gave me a positive answer.

Shumilov, who was sitting at the table, also turned and asked, "o'shanina, what do you think we should do next?"

Instead of answering schumilov's question, I said with a smile, "comrades commander, I think you two are well aware of our army's next move, aren't you?" I don't think I have a detailed plan in mind, but I think I've been in the limelight too much recently, so I should keep a low profile appropriately.

After listening to me, shumilov didn't ask any more questions, but said to trikov: "Comrade trikov, when I wanted trikov to make a phone call, I saw a staff officer appear at the door. Knowing that he must have something to say, he trotted over. Before and after I came to him, I asked in a low voice, "what's the matter?"

The staff officer handed a telegram, and the report said, "Comrade commander, it's a telegram just arrived from Colonel klobkin."

I nodded, took the telegram from him, and waved to him to leave.

The report in klobkin's telegram is very brief. That is to say, during the construction of highland 165, the XPCC, after blasting a huge rock, unexpectedly found a closed cave behind the rock. At present, people have been sent in for reconnaissance, and the results will be reported later.

Seeing this news, I was immediately overjoyed. Since there is a cave on Highland 165, it only needs a little improvement to become a tunnel that can store a large number of soldiers and materials. As long as the materials are sufficient, the enemy's offensive forces can be firmly attracted near the highlands.

Shumilov's eyes were sharp. He saw that I was smiling when I read the telegram. He asked in a loud voice in the distance, "commander o'shanina, what are you laughing at? Is there any good news?"

I came up to him with a telegram and said with a smile, "Comrade commander, it's a telegram from Colonel klobkin. He reported that the engineering regiment accidentally found a cave during construction. "

"What? Found the cave? " Shumilov was overjoyed and said, "this is really good news."

When trakov heard that he had found a cave on Highland 165, he said to the other end of the phone: "OK, that's it. I'll call you again if there's anything else After putting down the phone, he took the telegram in shumilov's hand and looked at it carefully.

After reading for a while, he threw the telegraph paper on the table and said to shumilov, "Comrade commander, this is good news. If the cave space is large enough, we only need a little transformation to make it an unbreakable fortress. If there are enough troops, materials and water, our troops can fight here for a long time. "

When I heard that trakov mentioned the water source, I couldn't help nodding my head secretly. After all, it's worthy of being a famous general. Considering the problem is comprehensive. We should know that no matter how many soldiers are holding fast to the fortress and how much materials are prepared, if there is no water supply, it will not last long. Brest fortress, if not for lack of water, may be able to hold on for a long time under the strong attack of the German army.

Listening to trikov and shumilov chatting for a while, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious before the staff came to send a new telegram. I went to the door and wanted to go to the communication room to ask if there was a telegram from Colonel klobkin, but trekov stopped me from behind: "o'shanina, where are you going?"

I stopped and said, "comrades commander, I'll see if there's a telegram from Colonel klobkin. It's been more than ten minutes. If there's any news, it's time for the telegram to arrive."

Trekov waved his hand and said, "don't bother. The high-frequency phone here can talk to klobkin directly." With that, he picked up the phone on his desk, dialed a number and said, "operator, this is trakov. Connect me with colonel klobkin, the 29th division commander."

Looking at the high-frequency telephone that trikov is using, I can't help but talk in secret. My heart says that if the group army wants to contact the superior or the troops below, it can be done through the high-frequency telephone. The troops below, even the division level headquarters, can only contact the headquarters of the group army by telegram rather than by telephone. If communication conditions are not improved in future battles, our troops will miss many fighters. After talking to klobkin on the phone, trakov first made fun of him, and then turned to the main topic: "Colonel klobkin, has the reconnaissance result of the engineering regiment come out?" Klobjing reported in a joyful voice: "report, comrade deputy commander, after the reconnaissance of the engineers, we found that this cave was originally an ammunition depot built hundreds of years ago. A large number of rusty muskets, hundreds of barrels filled with gunpowder, and a few meals of moldy flour were found inside. After my research with the political commissar and the Corps, we all agreed that we could put two regiments of troops in this cave and enough materials to use for more than half a year. " Schumilov, obviously like me, heard the contents of the kolobkin report. He said to trakov happily, "Comrade trakov, please tell the Colonel that I will arrange a convoy to deliver enough military supplies to them as soon as possible." Trekov nodded and said to the receiver, "Comrade Colonel, did you hear what the commander said? We will deliver the materials you need to you as soon as possible. But I want to ask, if you really put the two regiments on the high ground 165, how long can you stay in this new fort? " Klobkin was silent for a long time before he replied in an uncertain tone: "if our division can get the firepower support of the air force and long-range artillery in the battle of defending highland 165, I think it's no problem to persist for two to three months."“ It won't be that long, Colonel klobkin Shumilov took the call from trakov and said confidently, "our fight with the Germans under Stalingrad will last for a month at most. As long as you can hold on for a month, you will win! " Trekov looked at me and asked, "o'shanina, is there anything you want to say?"“ Water Although trakov mentioned the water source just now, I can't help but remind him again: "please ask Col. klobkin to pay attention to that there must be enough water in the tunnel, so that our officers and men won't lose their fighting capacity because of hunger and thirst." When shumilov heard what I said, he quickly reminded klobkin: "Comrade Colonel, lieutenant commander oshanina said that we should stick to the tunnel and ensure that there is sufficient water. You must not neglect this."“ Please don't worry, commander, "klobjing swore," I will make sure there is enough water in the tunnel. "“ By the way, "shumilov hesitated for a moment, but he still asked," is the excavation of the tunnel in the 158 highland stationed by the marine brigade going well? Have you found caves in them? "
