Chapter 524

As soon as the three commanders left, after sending me the map, xidolin, who slipped out of the headquarters, entered the commander again. He took off his helmet and came to me with it in his hand. At the same time, he asked with a smile, "Comrade commander, have you finished your meeting?"

I reached out and touched his head with short hair lovingly. I asked with a smile, "you little guy, I didn't see when you ran out just now."

"After I gave you the map bag just now, I saw you and the captain studying the map wholeheartedly. They didn't dare to disturb you, so they went out quietly." At this point, he suddenly exclaimed, which startled me, "by the way, comrade commander. Before I came, general trakov told me that you should contact him as soon as you arrive at the independent division

"You little fellow, why didn't you say it earlier? If you miss something important, I won't let you." He raised his head, closed his eyes and put on a posture of letting me handle. I patted him twice on the face with my hand. Then I turned around and told razumeyeva, who was still standing at the door, "sergeant, please install the phone. I want to talk to general trakov."

When I heard that I was going to talk to the deputy commander of the group army, razumeyeva quickly called in several female signalmen from outside to cooperate with her in debugging and installing the telephone.

While the female soldiers were installing the telephone, I took sidtorin to sit down at the table, bent down and asked him with concern, "sidtorin, how do you plan to arrange your stay in the independent division or return to the headquarters of the group army?"

"General trakov said," sidtorin looked up at me and said, "let me stay with you and be your messenger. You don't think I'm young, but I'll give you a message and an order to make sure I can't miss you. "

Although I need a lot of people now, I don't want to keep sidtorin here. After his father died, trakov left him with him as a messenger to take care of him better. But it's a bit unreasonable to send him to my division. I don't think it's good to say that one day, my Division will be completely destroyed, and the child's safety will not be guaranteed. I think he should go back to the group army headquarters, which is safer than staying in my division.

At this time, razumeyeva reported to me that the installation and commissioning of the telephone had been completed, and she had contacted the communication room of the group army headquarters. I went over, took the earphone and the transmitter from the sergeant's hand, and said in a loud voice, "Hello, I'm the commander of the independent division, lieutenant commander oshanina. Please help me find general trakov."

The opposite operator politely said, "Hello, comrade commander. General trakov is right beside me. Just a moment, please. I'll ask him to talk to you After a short silence, there was a voice from the earphone: "Hello, is that oshanina?"

"Yes, comrade commander, it's me."

"Why did it take so long to get in touch with me?" Trekov said this, perhaps because of looking at his watch, and then I heard him say, "I've been waiting for you for more than half an hour."

I took a look at little sidtorin, who was sitting at the table and looked pitifully at me. Instead of saying what he almost forgot to remind me of, I took the initiative to admit my mistake to trikov: "sorry, comrade commander, I just called a meeting of several commanders to study the fighting for a few days. I forgot to contact you for a while. Please forgive me

"Well, let's not talk about that." Trakov said generously, "did your meeting come to any conclusion?"

"We have the result, comrade commander." With a correct attitude, I replied, "you already know the tactics of commando plus support unit proposed by Captain chejerikov. At the meeting, comrade Lieutenant taught the other three commanders how to use this method of warfare. "

"This kind of tactics sounds very good, but it's hard to say how effective it is in combat. It's only through combat." From the tone of his voice, I can tell that he still lacks confidence in this new method of war. However, I still have the same feeling about his doubts. I remember that at the end of last year, a cavalry division of the 16th group army attacked several residential areas. Although the residential areas had been razed to the ground by our army's artillery fire, it still fought with the German army for several days and finally managed to capture these strategic points.

"Comrade commander," in order to prevent him from changing his mind because of his vacillation, I took the initiative to report to him and said, "I asked captain chejerikov to preside over the combat meeting, and he gave detailed division of labor to several commanders. For example, the second regiment with more veterans, on the basis of the original veterans, combined with some new recruits, formed several commando teams to undertake the offensive task after three days; Captain shejerikov asked the fourth regiment to deploy personnel to organize a reconnaissance team, and a construction engineer was assigned to accompany the team to carry out detailed reconnaissance tasks on the residential areas. "

When trekov heard this, he interrupted me and asked, "what does the reconnaissance team do when it comes to reconnaissance? Do they still want to build fortifications and fight a positional war with the enemy under the guidance of engineers when they encounter the enemy? "

When I heard that trekov, who was in a high position, did not understand why the reconnaissance team had to be equipped with engineers, I admired him a little more. I looked around and found that there was no one in the headquarters except me, razumeyeva and sidorin. Captain xijerikov didn't know when to leave the headquarters.

In order to make trikov understand what happened, I patiently explained to him, "Comrade commander, please listen to my explanation. Here's the thing. In order to capture the residential area occupied by the enemy, we must carry out reconnaissance on the area, to understand the type of buildings in the residential area, the thickness of floors and walls, whether there are basements, where the entrances and exits are, the nature of the enemy's fortifications, the location of concealed shooting holes, the location and shape of obstacles, etc. As there is open land near the residential areas, it is unlikely that our scouts will come near for reconnaissance. In this case, we need a construction engineer who is familiar with all these things. He is an expert in these things. Maybe he needs to have a general look, and then he can provide us with the information we need. "

"That's right. Captain chejerikov is really good. He is very comprehensive and has a good overall view." After hearing this, trakov couldn't help praising captain jerichov. "If I knew he was so capable earlier, I would have left him in the headquarters as a staff officer."

"Comrade commander," I said jokingly, "if not, I will let him come to you as a staff officer, and you will come to the independent division to replace him as the head of the regiment." Although it's a joke, it's only when I'm so familiar with trekov that I dare to say it without scruple.

After listening to this, trakov burst out laughing. After the laughter stopped, he said solemnly, "Comrade o'shanina, I sent sidtorin to be your messenger. Promise me that I will take good care of him and ensure his safety."

If trikov didn't mention sidtorin, I might have forgotten about it. Since trakov mentioned it first, I quickly went on to say, "sorry, comrade commander, I can't keep sidolin here. I'd better let him go back to you."

"Why?" Trekov, who was rejected directly by me, asked back a little displeased.

"Comrade commander, please listen to me," I said impolitely to sidtorin, who was sitting at the table with my transmitter down. "Sidtorin, you go out first and come back when I call you." Sidtorin didn't know why I would let him out, but he just got up and left. Seeing that the figure of sidtorin disappeared from the door, I went on to say: "Comrade commander, you know better than I do about the current situation. The independent division may be completely wiped out one day. I can't guarantee the safety of little sidtorin. I still think we should let him go back to the headquarters, to your side, so that his safety can be guaranteed, so as to give an account to his father who died. "

My words made trikov silent, so that he didn't speak for a long time. I know that he is thinking, but also kept silent, quietly waiting for his reply. After a long time, he said: "well, let him return to the headquarters with the transport team."

I just promised, but before I could say anything more, I heard him say in a low voice, "thank you, o'shanina. On behalf of the sacrificial Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Lin, thank you." Then he coughed and said, "do you have anything else to report to me? If not, that's the end of today's call. "

I pondered for a moment and then said, "Comrade commander, I wonder if the rank of the commander in the division should be adjusted properly. You know, I have four commanders, and the highest rank is captain, one of them is captain. As for the company commanders below, their ranks are even more disordered. Except for a few captains, the rest are either lieutenant or second lieutenant. "

"The question of rank will be discussed after your division has recovered the residential areas. Well, that's all for today. Good luck With that, he cut off the call with me.

I went to the door and yelled at the dark forest, "sidtorin, where are you? Sidtorin, where are you? "

With my shouts, sidtorin rushed out of the darkness, ran to me and said solemnly, "Comrade commander, private sidtorin has been ordered to come. Please give me your instructions!"

"Sidtorin," I put my hands on his shoulders and said to him in a friendly way, "I have just discussed with Comrade commander that it is not safe here. You'd better go back to the headquarters and go back to general trakov!"

"Don't drive me away, comrade commander, please!" Sidtorin clasped my waist tightly and pleaded, "I'll finish every task you give me. Don't drive me away, OK?"

Although I like sidtorin very much, his life and safety will not be guaranteed if I stay in my independent division with uncertain future. So I gritted my teeth and said, "sidtorin, this is an order. There is no room for discussion. You must implement it unconditionally!" With that, he forcibly opened his hands around my waist and yelled at the distance, "guard class, where are the soldiers in the guard class?"

Just after two shouts, Vera, the monitor of the guard class, and two male soldiers appeared in front of me. After she raised her hand to salute me, she politely called my rank instead of my nickname: "Comrade commander, do you have any instructions?"

I pointed to sidtorin, who was standing in front of me wiping tears, and told her to say, "Vera, on the order of the higher authorities, I want to send this little soldier back to the headquarters of the group army immediately. I now order you to take him to the convoy and let him go back to headquarters with the convoy. "

Vera waved her head to the two men. The men immediately stepped forward and held sidtorin's shoulder. I don't want to see sidtorin leave, lest I can't control myself and turn around and go to the headquarters. At this moment, sidtorin yelled in a heartrending voice behind me: "Comrade commander, don't drive me away, I want to stay with you!"

With his cry, my heart suddenly twitched, but I still tried to control my emotions, waved to the back and said drily, "what are you still standing here doing? Carry out the order immediately and send him away. " With that, I trotted into the headquarters without hesitation.
