Chapter 570

Trekov obviously didn't take my mention of this matter as loud. He said very frankly, "I have no opinion. Let instructor veroll and her troops stay in your independent division. As for general kolpakchi, I'll just call him and talk to him. "

I was surprised to hear that verol and her troops could be left behind. I thought that my proposal would be rejected by trakov. Even if he didn't refuse, it would not be so smooth. Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily, and even offered to ask "how many people are left in your troops?"

Verol was silent for a moment, and then answered decisively, "there are 156 people left in the two companies, all students who have studied in school for more than half a year."

What she said was exactly what I wanted to know, so after nodding my head, I turned to xiejerikov and said, "Comrade xiejerikov, immediately assign these students to each regiment and each company to take the post of monitor and platoon leader, so that they can pass on what they have learned in school to our soldiers as soon as possible."

Before xiejerikov could speak, verol asked in a weak voice: "Rita, is it appropriate for these students to be the platoon leader?"

"Of course, my dear verol." I said to her with a smile: "as our division is newly established, most of the soldiers lack military training and combat experience. And you and your soldiers, after fighting with the German army for three days, successfully broke out. I believe your fighting experience is very valuable to the soldiers of the independent division. It is very helpful to let these trainees who have passed the test of war serve as platoon leaders in the army to enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the independent division. "

"How should people be allocated?" Shejerikov continued.

"Each regiment is divided into 40 cadets, and the rest are put in the guard camp." In other divisions, the combat effectiveness of the guard camp is the strongest, but it's not worth mentioning here. So this time, I'll leave more backbones around to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the guard camp.

After looking at each other, verol and Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant

It seems that verol is also an acute man. He can't wait to finish the task I told him. For her high enthusiasm for work, I did not pour cold water, just waved and said faintly: "in this case, you go with the commander."

After saluting me, verol and shejerikov turned and left the headquarters.

Seeing their departure, the silent Pugachev and basmanov came to me. First of all, Pugachev said, "Comrade division commander, do you want me to leave the company that just carried out the task to you to set up a guard camp?"

"Of course." Even if Pugachev doesn't say it, I will take the initiative to mention it. Although there is a guard camp at present, the actual fixed number of people is only one class, and trekov sent it to me. Even if busmanov's platoon is added, it's only one platoon plus one class, which is far from the goal of three companies.

I waved my head at basmanov and said, "Captain basmanov, you and captain Pugachev will go outside to handle the handover procedures, and by the way, take back the connection in his hand, quickly put up the framework of the guard camp, and appoint company commanders. Do you understand? "

After hearing the loud answers from both Pugachev and basmanov, I nodded and said to them, "now that you understand, go and carry out the order."

Looking at the room, only me and razumeyeva were left. I went up to her and said with concern, "Comrade lieutenant, I've been working hard these days

Razumeyeva took off her earphone, stood up and answered loudly, "serve the Soviet motherland!"

After I asked her to sit down, after a short time of thinking, I said to her, "Lieutenant razumeyeva, although our division has a communication company, its personnel are only those originally sent by the group army headquarters, and there are still many casualties in the battle. If you go on like this, you can't. You should really set up the communication company as soon as possible, and select the right person from the division to enrich your communication company. "

"I understand, comrade division commander," razumeyeva assured me after she understood what I meant, "I will go to all units as soon as possible to select knowledgeable commanders and fighters to enrich our communication company."

As we were talking, the telephone suddenly rang and interrupted us. After answering, razumeyeva was a little surprised and said to me, "Mr. division, the other party said that he is general meletskov. Do you want to talk to him?"

Don't say the other party is a general. Even if it's a captain, I have to talk to him. You know, I just want to take the most elite second lieutenant training team from him. When I heard meletskov's familiar voice coming from the earphone, I said to him with a smile: "Hello, senior general."

"I'm not good, very bad!" Meletskov greets me, but suddenly says something unexpected.

I was stunned at first, and then I understood the reason why he said so. Although he put forward the idea of giving the training team of the second lieutenant to me, after all, it was me who prized his corner, and there was no reason why he was angry with me. I tried to adjust the oppressive atmosphere with a relaxed tone: "senior general, although I haven't seen you and the commanders of the headquarters in just over a month, I miss you very much. I really hope I can have a chance to go back and see you."

"Come on, Rita, don't talk like that." Although meletskov said this in a huff, I can feel his attitude softened from his voice“ I heard that you did a good job in the Duhe River Basin. You have won a lot of battles. When you left my headquarters, you were a major, and now you are a colonel. "

I silently smile, want to say two words, really can't find the right words to answer him, had to continue to keep silent, listen to what he will say next“ At the beginning, you proposed that the direction of German attack in the South was Stalingrad, not Moscow or the Caucasus. Comrade Stalin was so angry that he wanted to send you to mamayev post. Unexpectedly, facts have proved that your original analysis is completely correct. It seems that this mamayev post really has to be guarded. "

Thinking that meletzkov had suffered the thunder of the Supreme Commander himself for my sake, I didn't know if I would have been arrested again by the people of the Ministry of interior and sent to the military court for trial if it hadn't been for him. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little wet in the corner of my eyes. I gratefully said to him, "senior general, thank you for everything you did for me."

"Rita," meletzkov said in an uncertain voice, calling my nickname affectionately, "I want to hear your analysis again. Will the Germans occupy Stalingrad?" As soon as he finished, he might be afraid that I have any scruples, and specially stressed: "I asked you as a friend, not as a superior. You don't need to regard me as your commander, but as your friend or relative. Please tell me, do you think Stalingrad will fall? " After these words, his breathing became rapid.

Meletskov's words are very taboo at this time. If they are heard by the people of the Ministry of interior, even if he is a general, he will not escape punishment. After a moment's silence, I answered him decisively: "Comrade General, please rest assured that although the Germans will approach or even occupy part of Stalingrad's cities in a short time, Stalingrad will never fall."

On hearing my firm words, meletzkov was obviously relieved. He repeatedly said, "that's good, that's good. I'm sure your judgment will be accurate. " Then he changed the subject and talked about the second lieutenant training team that he and I were concerned about: "Rita, I promised you that I would give the second lieutenant training team to you. Now it's time for me to keep my promise. I've given the order to captain akhromeyev, the leader of the second lieutenant's training team. The troops are gathering. In two or three hours at most, they will drive to Moscow, from there to UFA by train, and then south to Stalingrad. " Perhaps for fear of my misunderstanding, he specially explained that "because the land passage from Moscow to Stalingrad was completely cut off by the German army, the army did not wait to make a big circle to the East before returning to Stalingrad. In this way, the troops will be delayed on the road for a long time. It may take ten days and a half months to get to your independent division. "

"I understand, Comrade General." Just now, trakov told me the marching route of the second lieutenant's training team, so I don't expect them to report to the independent division in two or three days“ I know a little about the current situation between ourselves and the enemy. There is nothing I can do about it. Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your generosity. "

Melitskov laughed and said, "to tell you the truth, Rita, I hope you can return to my warhoff front army and follow me to break the German encirclement of Leningrad after you beat back the German army attacking Stalingrad."

"There will be such a day, Comrade General." As for his suggestion, I know very well that he was worried that I would not return his second lieutenant training team after borrowing it, so he politely responded, "when the war on Stalingrad's side is over, I will ask the superior to send me back to the front army of warhoff."

My words completely reassured meletzkov. He said with a laugh: "in this case, I wish you good luck and beat back the German attack on Stalingrad as soon as possible."

As soon as the conversation with meletzkov was over, Zhukov's call came in. Hearing my voice, he said with a smile, "Rita, I've done what you asked me to do for you. Comrade meletzkov was not willing to give his precious unit to anyone for command. I used my power to oppress him, saying that if he did not hand over the training team of the second lieutenant, I would give priority to other front forces in the supplement of weapons and ammunition. When he saw that I said that, he had no choice but to obey me. "

After listening to Zhukov's words, I understood why meletzkov was so angry when he first talked to me. It turned out that he was angry with Zhukov before he called me. As for Zhukov, who helped himself a lot, I said gratefully: "thank you, Comrade General. I will always remember your help to me."

"Don't say it's useless." Zhukov didn't wait for me to finish. He interrupted me and said, "I'll help you get the grassroots commander you want. As for the fighting backbone, in a few days there will be two militiamen annihilation battalions belonging to Stalingrad, which will be enriched in your division. Although they have not picked up guns much longer than those of your soldiers, they have certain fighting experience. Adding them to your division will help improve your division's combat effectiveness. "

Zhukov's words make me feel warm in my heart. I want to express my gratitude to him, but I don't know where to start with a thousand words. I can only say repeatedly: "thank you, thank you general."“ Commander, I've solved it for you; The backbone of the battle, I also added to you. " When Zhukov said this, he suddenly said in an emphatic tone: "if you can't stop the fierce attack of the German under the condition of being strengthened, then I don't care what friendship I have with you. I will personally order the people of the interior department to send you to the military court for trial." After hearing Zhukov's harsh words, I knew that he was also worried about the unfavorable war situation. He quickly expressed his position to him and said, "please rest assured that as long as there is one soldier alive in the independent division, we will never let the Germans swagger through our defense area."“ Good, "Zhukov praised me after listening to my determination, and then told me," Comrade Stalin also knows about the transfer of major general meletzkov's second lieutenant training team. I didn't call meletskov until he personally agreed. Rita, the commander-in-chief also has high hopes for you. I hope you can have an outstanding performance in this conference. " Zhukov's last words made my heart beat faster. It was not only because of the good interpersonal relationship between Zhukov and me that I was able to transfer the second lieutenant training team, but also because of the Supreme Commander himself. No wonder in such a short time, it can be promoted. At such a time, I had to show my attitude to Zhukov again and to the Supreme Commander himself behind him: "please tell Comrade Stalin that our independent division will fight with the bandits tenaciously in the battle to defend Stalingrad, and give our last bit of blood."
