After a long time, these commanders, who were shocked by my fantastic ideas, woke up from the shock. First of all, shijerikov asked, "Comrade division, I don't understand. After the German army was attacked by the Oleg camp, wouldn't it be vigilant? At this time, if camp verol is allowed to attack again, won't it drive the sheep into the tiger's mouth? "
As soon as xiejerikov's words came out, the rest of the commanders in the room nodded in agreement. Verol also stood up and said, "Comrade division, in order to defend our great motherland, I will never frown, even if it is blood and sacrifice. But the order you just gave is obviously to let everyone die. Is this unnecessary sacrifice necessary? "
In fact, I also think that the ideas that come out of my mind belong to some unrealistic fantasy, but I don't know how to do it. I just want to have a try. Seeing that everyone had doubts about my new mission, I patiently explained to them, "Lt. Col. chejerikov is right. After the German camp is attacked, they are bound to strengthen their defense. In addition to the original defense system, they will also send patrols around to prevent the Oleg camp from killing the enemy."
"Comrade division, since you also know that the enemy will strengthen its guard, why send troops to take risks?" Although Gaidar's words are euphemistic, I can tell that he is against sending more troops to take part in the night attack.
After hearing Gaidar's words, I said with a smile: "commander Gaidar, under normal circumstances, after the German army is attacked, the defense of the camp will be strengthened to prevent our army from attacking again. But if they want to see friendly troops coming, or even rescue them, it will be a different situation. "
What I said surprised everyone.
I turned to kosga and asked, "chief three, how many German uniforms did your regiment collect last time?"
"There are probably more than 400 sets," kosjaro said with some insight. "The reason why these clothes have not been lost is that I want to let the soldiers disguise themselves as German soldiers to steal camp some day." At this point, his eyes suddenly glowed and he screamed excitedly. When the other commanders were startled, they danced and said, "Comrade division commander, I order that the soldiers below prepare these uniforms and hand them over to the troops of political commissar verol." After that, he forgot to respect, turned around and walked out of the headquarters quickly, so he left on his own.
Seeing kosga's abnormal performance, people were not sure, so they looked at each other.
I smile again and say: "comrades, do you understand? That's my plan. Let villol's night attack camp put on the German uniform and pretend to be the reinforcements to attack those camps attacked by Oleg camp. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch several German senior commanders. "
I painted a beautiful prospect, so that people stay on the spot, their faces showed incredible expression. The German army is not a fool. The camp has just been attacked, and the defense must be very strict. Even if the friendly troops come, they will be subject to repeated interrogation. Our fake reinforcements may be exposed if they ask each other a few questions.
After a long time, verol, the commander of the night attack army, asked with half faith: "Comrade division, is your method really useful?"
I nodded and said with confidence: "of course, even if the German troops have strengthened the guard work in the camp after the attack, their morale will also be fatally damaged. I wish there were friendly troops to reinforce them. If you encounter German troops on the way, you are from the 40th tank brigade, and you have been ordered to reinforce. "
Seeing that I was so sure, verol, as if reassured, stopped worrying about whether he would be discovered by the German army, and continued to ask, "when will I lead the night attack camp?"
I raised my hand to look at my watch and said faintly, "it will take about an hour and a half for the troops to assemble. After the assembly, you will put on the German uniform and take a truck to cross the three regiments and one regiment to the German camp
"Is there anyone in the army who speaks German well?" Verol asked anxiously, you know, it's easy to pretend to be a German soldier in a German uniform, but if there is no one who can speak German, he will help the German army as soon as he comes into contact with them.
Before I could speak, Gaidar and xiejerikov laughed, and verol was stunned. She looked them up and down discontentedly, and asked strangely, "two commanders, what are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"
Gaidar and shejerikov looked at each other, then said to verol with a smile, "Comrade verol, it seems that you are not qualified as a political commissar. The commanders and fighters of the independent division may not have the same training and fighting experience as other divisions, but they need a large number of German speakers in each regiment. "
Gaidar's words made verol blush. She muttered: "I've only been in the regiment for a day or two, and I haven't recognized all the company leaders. I don't know what talents there are in the regiment."
Seeing what Gaidar wanted to say, I was afraid of verol's embarrassment. I quickly raised my hand to interrupt what he wanted to say, and said to verol first: "Lieutenant mihayev, the company commander of the engineering company, speaks German similar to his native language. I asked him to go with you. He can impersonate captain Heinz Martin, the adjutant of general Stuart."
As soon as I finished, razumeyeva, who was sitting in the corner, called out to me: "Comrade division commander, general trakov, deputy commander of the group army, is online."
When I heard that trakov was looking for me, I hastened to command the commanders on the scene: "everyone immediately return to their respective units, transfer the strongest company to verol, and move quickly! It's over. "
After I put on the earphone, I politely said to the transmitter, "Hello, comrade commander, I'm o'shanina."
"I just heard you assign some tasks to your department, didn't I?"
"Yes, I asked the regiments to send troops to form a special battalion to attack the German camp."
"Is there too few battalions?" Trekov murmured in his headphones, "even if you fight so hard, you can't hurt the Germans. You can't interrupt their deployment."
"Comrade commander," I did not hide from trakov, and honestly reported to him, "there is more than one battalion. One battalion has already set out, and the second battalion is preparing to set out. Their task is to attack the German camp
Trekov had been used to my ingenuity for a long time. He asked without any impatience: "Oh, two battalions. Tell me, why do you want the two battalions to operate separately? You know, in this way, the forces will be dispersed and will not pose a great threat to the enemy forces. "
"Comrade commander, the first battalion was led by the former second commander, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg. The task I gave him was to give priority to sneak attack, avoid strong attack and achieve the purpose of disturbing the enemy. The second battalion is in the charge of the political instructor verol from the Vinica Infantry School. They will disguise themselves as German troops and attack those camps that have been attacked, making the demoralized German troops even worse. If you're lucky, one or two German commanders can be captured alive. "
"Well, now that you've made the arrangements, go ahead with your plan. Anyway, comrade Zhukov also called Hello, "how to fight, has the final say."
After listening to Choi KOV's words, I couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief. As frontline commanders, I was most afraid of those who sat behind the command post and commanded the commanders in accordance with the map. They has the final say, and I think they are at the front line.
When I said thanks to him repeatedly, he suddenly changed the topic: "today, the German army launched a comprehensive fortification against our army. Individual positions of the 62nd and 57th army groups have been occupied by the German army. Your division's line of defense has not been attacked by the German army, has it
Trekov's words stunned me and said in my heart: even the prisoners I captured have been sent to the headquarters of the group army. If there is no German attack, where do these prisoners come from? As soon as he wanted to speak, he suddenly thought that it was because of the tight line of defense in the meishkova river that he said goodbye to Zhukov in a hurry and went to the front line to command the battle. Maybe he is not in the headquarters of the group army at the moment and does not know the results of our division, which is normal.
Thinking of this, I asked tentatively, "Comrade commander, are you not in the headquarters of the group army?"
Trekov was stunned for a moment when I asked, and then replied, "yes, I went to investigate the terrain along the chelflenaya river with colonel bolkilovsky, the director of the group army's engineering force. General Alexandrov, the group army's logistics director, who just arrived in peschanka village, spent the night in the village tonight and will not return to the group army headquarters for the time being. By the way, o'shanina, why do you ask this? "
I said in my heart that you were not in the headquarters of the group army. No wonder. Hearing what he asked me, he immediately replied, "Comrade commander, this is what it is. The 40th German tank brigade launched an attack on the position of the 2nd division in the evening. After fierce fighting, we powdered the German attack and captured 57 people, including one of them, Captain Heinz Martin, the adjutant of major general stummer, the brigade commander
After listening to this, trakov pondered for a moment, and then suggested to me, "Comrade oshanina, I have an idea. Since you have a battalion that wants to pretend to be a German army to sneak attack, you can find a good German soldier to pretend to be captain Heinz Martin, who was captured by you. In this way, it's easier to muddle through. I don't know what you think? "
After listening to trekov's suggestion, I couldn't suppress my excitement and replied with a smile: "Comrade commander, my idea coincides with your idea. I just arranged it like this. Mihayev, the commander of engineering company with High German level, impersonates captain Heinz Martin."
"The attack of the 6th group army of Paulus against us is very fierce. The defenders in the north and west of the city are retreating step by step towards Stalingrad. If your night attack can interrupt the deployment of the 4th group army of Goth tanks and slow down their attack speed, it will not only reduce the pressure on our army, It can also buy a few precious days for the defense work in the city. "
Since Zhukov mentioned that the commander of the fourth German tank group army was Holt, when he heard trakov talk about Goth, he felt very uncomfortable. However, this is not the time to worry about this. I can only give trakov a reassurance: "please rest assured that our division will complete this glorious and arduous task."
"Oshanina," trekov said earnestly, "Zhukov only gives you a counterattack mission. I guess the main reason is that you know how to fight skillfully. If you fight with the German army, don't say you are an independent division with poor equipment and training. Even if you put the 64th army there, you can't block the well-equipped, The fourth group of tanks supported by the air force. I don't want to say any more. I wish you and your independent division good luck and good results tonight. "
When I finished the call and handed back the earphone and transmitter to razumeyeva, she asked with trembling: "Sir, I want to ask, do you think our night attack can be successful? You know, the Germans have several divisions, and we only have two battalions. "
I laughed at her and said, "don't worry, Lieutenant razumeyeva. You don't have to worry about these problems. Both Oleg and verol have rich combat experience, and I believe they will succeed. "
Although I am confident, it is all to encourage the morale of my subordinates. In fact, I have no idea what kind of results can be achieved in the night attack tonight. However, I have already assigned the task, and the troops in charge of the night attack have also set out. Even if I want to change the order, the troops that attack will not be able to withdraw. So the only thing I can do in the headquarters is to wait for the battle report sent back to me by Oleg and verol after the battle starts.
When I was sitting in my seat and looking at the map, four people, shijerikov, Pugachev, kosja and Gaidar, entered the headquarters one after another, sat in their usual positions and began to smoke leisurely.
I choked on the smoke and coughed loudly. When the cough stopped, I raised my hand and fanned the smoke in front of me, and asked strangely, "Hey, comrades, the war is coming, you still have leisure to come to my headquarters to smoke. You don't seem to worry that Oleg and verol will not finish the task. Don't you know that the number of German troops is dozens of times more than our night attack troops?"
The four of them were stunned.
Xiejerikov took off his military cap, put it on the table, scratched the back of his head, and said with embarrassment, "yes, sir, if you don't tell me, I haven't thought of that. Even if you remind me now, I don't think this mission will fail. You know, since we became your subordinates, it seems that we haven't lost any battles and almost won every battle. "
The other three commanders listened to him and nodded their heads together, indicating that they all felt the same way.
I didn't criticize him for his obvious flattery, but just smile. We should know that our army is at a disadvantage on the battlefield now, and let them keep more hope in their hearts, which is also conducive to improving the morale of the army. Anyway, I also know that the final winner of the battle of Stalingrad belonged to the Soviet army.
When I thought about it, I would not care about them any more. I looked at the map in front of me and thought about how the independent division would defend after moving to mamayev post.
Time in our waiting, a second to the past. Just as several of the team leaders were losing patience, razumeyeva screamed excitedly, then turned to me and said, "Sir, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg is online. He wants to speak to you."
Although I have been trying to keep calm, when I heard that Oleg wanted to report the war situation to me, I still couldn't help jumping up from my seat and rushing to the telephone. I grabbed the earphone and put it on before I could. I put it on my ear and asked loudly to the transmitter: "Hello, Hello, commander Oleg, can you hear me? I'm Colonel oshanina
A moment later, Oleg's clear voice came from his headphones, as well as the sound of gunfire and grenade explosion: "report to division commander, we are attacking the enemy's camp."
"Be more specific." Although I tried to keep calm, my voice changed a little because of nervousness.
Fortunately, Oleg didn't pay attention to these details. He continued to report to me: "when we approached the enemy camp, we found that the enemy's defense was very lax. Except for two small patrols and a dozen sentries outside the camp, the rest of us were sleeping. I first sent a platoon of soldiers to solve the patrol with a dagger, then cut a few passable gaps in the barbed wire around the camp and sneaked in to kill the sentinels. Seeing that the enemy's Sentinels had been cleared, I ordered the troops to enter the camp. In groups of five, they went into the tent to clean up the sleeping German soldiers. It was going well. Unexpectedly, a sentry came out of the tent, found our soldiers and fired a warning, waking up the German soldiers in other parts of the camp. As soon as the gun rang, we were discovered by the German army, and the plan to use cold weapons to solve the battle failed. The Germans are now fighting back under the cover of armored vehicles. "
"Commander Oleg," I heard that there were armored vehicles in the German counterattack troops. I was afraid that the sneak attack troops would suffer losses. I immediately ordered Oleg, "I order you to withdraw while fighting, and quickly get out of the battle, otherwise once you are entangled by the enemy, your troops will be destroyed."
Perhaps Oleg had learned the lesson of his demotion from his last disobedience, so he quickly agreed, and then I heard him yell to his subordinates in his earphone: "come on, send the order down, cover the evacuation in turn! We'll cover the battle in turn
When I put down the earphone and the transmitter, the four commanders gathered around me and asked with concern, "Comrade division, camp Oleg has started?"
Seeing that I nodded in affirmation, he continued to ask, "how is the war going?"
"After killing the enemy's patrol and sentry, they sneaked into the German camp smoothly. Then Oleg divided the soldiers into groups of five and went into the tent to kill the sleeping German with daggers. Originally, it went smoothly. Unexpectedly, a German soldier who got up to change his post found it and fired a warning gun, waking up the enemy in other places. After the German troops found our sneak attack troops, they immediately used armored vehicles to cover the infantry to counter us. In order to prevent this battle from a sneak attack to a strong attack, I have ordered Oleg to lead his troops to withdraw from the battle in turn. "
"Oh, what a pity!" Gaidar said regretfully, "if only Lieutenant Colonel Oleg could send someone to capture German armored cars and tanks first."“ What's the use of seizing it? " "Can you find the officers and men who can drive tanks and armored vehicles in the troops that take part in the night attack?" kosga said? In the end, it's not the only way to blow it up, so as not to make it cheaper for the Germans. "“ Blow it up Gaidar, perhaps dissatisfied with the tone of kosga's words to him, retorted with a loud stare: "blow up, at least weaken the German armor."“ What's the use of blowing up a few German tanks in a hurry? If you know there are thousands of German tanks Cosga was still talking in a sullen voice“ You... "Gaidar was so excited by his words that he was on the verge of violence. Seeing that they were about to have an argument, I yelled:" what are you two arguing about here? " Originally like a cockfight to fight up two people, I was so a roar, immediately honest for a while, head down obediently back to their seats. Seeing the two men leave, xiejerikov came close to my ear and said in a low voice, "don't blame them, sir, because they both want to command the night attack troops. Unexpectedly, you finally handed over the task to Oleg and verol. They were uncomfortable and quarreled to vent their dissatisfaction." Thanks for jerichov's words, it suddenly dawned on me that these two people were as good as one person at ordinary times. How could they suddenly become enemies tonight? It turned out that it was because I didn't send them on a mission. About twenty minutes later, I waited for Oleg's second report. As soon as I heard his voice, I asked with concern, "Comrade Oleg, have the troops withdrawn?"“ Out, "Oleg breathlessly reported," because of the dark, the German army was afraid that we would have an ambush, although after we withdrew from the camp, the battle was over. "“ What about the casualties in the army? "“ 31 people were killed and 55 injured. There is no detailed statistics of the results, but at least nearly 200 German soldiers were killed and 30 submachine guns and more than 100 rifles were seized. " Oleg's breath gradually calmed down. After his report, he asked me, "Sir, what's our next task?"“ The troops continued to move south to attack further German camps. "“ Yes! " Oleg readily agreed. For fear that he would be hot headed and suffer from the German, I specially told him: "remember what I said to you before departure. Sneak attack is the main thing. Don't fight with the German unless you have to."“ Understand Although he was very frank in his promise, I was not sure. I told him again, "besides, I just sent political commissar veroll to take a battalion to carry out the mission. They are all wearing German uniforms. So if you find German troops marching on the road, you should first make a clear investigation and never shoot casually, otherwise you will fight with your own people, That's going to be a joke. "
