Chapter 588

These so-called rebels, who suffered from both front and back attacks, did not have a strong will to fight. Many people stopped at the same place, threw away their weapons and raised their hands high in an attempt to save their lives.

The wish is good, but the reality is cruel. The German soldiers who attack the camp may have received the order to kill them all. No matter whether the Azerbaijani soldiers are resisting or throwing away their weapons and raising their hands to surrender, they still shoot indiscriminately. In this way, those unarmed soldiers, under the heavy German fire, fell down in pieces.

Fortunately, the soldiers who were not hit by bullets found that no matter whether they surrendered or not, they could not escape the fate of death. They also picked up the weapons they had thrown beside them and shot back on the ground.

The battle in the camp was very enjoyable, and the battle in the position of Oleg department was also very fierce. Dozens of soldiers rushed to them and tried to open a gap to break through the encirclement, but they were knocked down by our army's firepower, and the rest of them were also hit by the intensive firepower and couldn't lift their heads. Only we are calm here, except for the German inspection team who just came and was killed by us, no one escaped to us.

Although Grimes called his superior, the expression on his face was still very unnatural, giving people a feeling of being miserable. I glared at him for several times. Seeing that he didn't find it, I could only say to him unhappily, "Captain Grimes, please remember that these SS soldiers who were killed by us are Hitler's loyal running dogs. They are not only the enemies of the Soviet people, but also the enemies of the German people. Only by eliminating all these Communists can Germany get a new life."

Although my words were a little nondescript, gramus obviously listened to them. After a smile more ugly than crying, he asked me, "Sir, what shall we do next?"

I looked through my telescope at the camp, which was in full swing. I said casually, "let's continue to guard here to prevent the defeated Azerbaijani soldiers from breaking through from our direction when they have no way to go."

"Will they break through from here?" Mihayev asked incredulously.

"Yes, they will." I affirmed that, in order to convince them, I also specifically gave my own reasons, "the remnants of Azerbaijan see that the retreat on both sides of the East and the West has been cut off. If they go south, they are bound to face more German resistance, while if they flee north, they will suffer much less resistance, so they have a great chance of jumping out of the German sphere of influence. Then they can pretend to be the scattered small units of our army and sneak into our defense area. "

Listening to me, the third company commander was startled. He immediately asked me for instructions: "Comrade teacher, do you want me to arrange the two on the hillside?"

I waved my hand and rejected his suggestion: "no, comrade company commander, let them stay on the hillside and serve as reserves until they can't stop the enemy's attack." After that, I turned to the sullen Grimes and said, "Captain Grimes, don't call me any more sir. It sounds too awkward. You can call me sir or comrade as other commanders do."

After listening to Mikhail's translation, Grimes nodded and said, "OK, sir, I understand."

My worries did not come true. The officers and men of the Azerbaijani battalion, under the double attack of the German army and the Oleg army, did not persist for long and then came to the brink of annihilation. The gunfire on the battlefield became sparse, German tanks lined up in the camp, and soldiers with weapons entered one tent after another to search for survivors. Seeing this scene, I secretly scold the German army for being stupid. You don't know how to push down the tent with tanks. You have to go in and check one by one. In case the survivors inside shoot, don't you have to pay unnecessary sacrifice.

However, on second thought, the casualties of German officers and soldiers are none of my business. The more they die, the better. At least the strength of attacking Stalingrad has been weakened. I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was two o'clock in the morning. I quickly turned around and told the third company commander to contact Oleg immediately.

I said to the transmitter, "commander Oleg, your mission is complete. In addition to leaving a platoon with good German skills, the rest of the commanders and fighters took their booty and went back to the station. "

Oleg was stunned when he heard my order. Then he murmured, "Comrade commander, can I ask why?"

"Don't you understand, comrade commander?" When I heard his query about my order, my voice became severe. "The German Army knows that there is only one company in the station, but if they come and find that you have more than 200 people, don't they help?"

Oleg suddenly realized this and quickly replied, "Comrade division, I understand. I'm going to lead a large army to leave here with booty."

After putting down the earphones and the transmitter, I said to the nearby Grimes, "Captain Grimes, we'll take this platoon with us later and join the platoon left by lieutenant commander Oleg. We'll wait for the German commander to come at the place where the train capsized."

After hearing this, Grimes readily agreed, "OK, sir, I'll follow your instructions."

After a few minutes, Oleg and his troops came along the railway. Seeing that almost everyone on the soldiers was carrying several guns, and even many people were carrying wooden boxes on their shoulders, it seemed that their achievements were not small.

When Oleg passed me, he stopped to report to me and said, "report to the division commander, two companies in a row have successfully destroyed the German troop transport train. All the German devils on the train have been killed by us, and no one has missed the net."

"Well done!" I nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "how are the casualties of our troops?"

"When we hit the train, more than a dozen soldiers were burned, but they were not seriously injured. As for the fight against the Azerbaijani battalion, it can hardly be called a fight, but a one-sided massacre. In the fight, at least 200 enemies were killed, and we did not have any casualties. "

When I heard that there were no casualties in the army, I breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, I couldn't help feeling a little complacent. Thousands of enemies were annihilated, and only a dozen people were injured. The result of the battle was reported, not to mention me. Even the commander of the group army would feel his face shining. However, the most important task now is not to report for meritorious service, but to find a way to send the Germans away from the camp. So I told Oleg, "Comrade commander, it's none of your business here. When you go back with the soldiers, take time to rest. Maybe there will be new combat tasks assigned to you after dawn."

With a loud promise, Oleg followed his troops along the railway to the station.

After Oleg's troops had passed, I said to the third company commander who had been on standby: "well, comrade third company commander, you can also take the two platoons on the hillside back to the station."

The third company commander didn't expect that I would give him such an order. He was stunned and didn't respond in the distance. I thought he didn't hear me clearly, and he repeated my order again. Then he said reluctantly, "Comrade division commander, let me go to the front with you. The troops can let the platoon leaders take me back."

Originally, I wanted to refuse him directly, but seeing his sincere eyes, after a short hesitation, I agreed to his request: "well, comrade company commander, since that's the case, you go to give orders to the other two platoon leaders to lead them back to the bus station." After hearing this, the third company commander was about to run to the hillside with excitement on his face, and I stopped him again.

He stopped and looked at me in surprise. He thought I had changed my mind. I guessed that he might have misunderstood, and quickly told him: "comrade company commander, after you give the order to the two platoon leaders, remember to carry the six German bodies near the train."

The third company commander was confused by my inexplicable order. He scratched the back of his head and asked, "Comrade teacher, why is that?"

"These German members of the monitoring group were killed by the mutinous Azerbaijanis when they visited the overturned military train. Naturally, their bodies were placed near the train."

"But, these Germans were obviously killed by us..." before the third company commander finished, I glared at him fiercely. He immediately understood, straightened up and agreed, "I understand, comrade division. These Germans were killed by the rebels in azebaijiang when they were checking by the train."

Seeing that he had understood what I meant, I nodded with satisfaction, waved to him and said, "hurry up and give orders to your platoon leaders. We should try to put the bodies before the Germans come to the train to check."

The action of the third company commander was very quick. As soon as we got to the burning train carriage and joined the platoon that Oleg left behind, he came running with more than a dozen soldiers breathlessly, threw the six German soldiers' bodies beside the railway, and then dragged more than a dozen of them out of the Azerbaijani soldiers' bodies, Placed next to the German body, arranged a fake scene where the inspection team was plotting.

Originally, I thought that such a poor trick could not hide from the shrewd German. Unexpectedly, when a small German troop came to the railway to check under the cover of two armored vehicles, gramus just stepped forward and said a few words, and the commander of the other side waved him away.

As Grimes came, I whispered, "Captain Grimes, what's going on?"

"The commander of the other side said that they would take over the scene now. Let's go back to the station immediately to prevent the guerrillas and rebels from attacking us," Grimes said in a low voice With that, he yelled at the rest of the officers and men in German, "all gather and go back to the station at once."

When we got back to the station, I quickly contacted the deputy of my post, 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 serge

"Comrades of the division," shijerikov replied excitedly, "after our surprise attack teams shelled the German army and the Georgian battalion respectively, the enemy really fell for it and rushed out of the camp one after another to pursue our team. Fortunately, the mines buried in advance have delayed the enemy's time, otherwise, our team can't retreat completely. "

"What are the casualties of the detachment and what are the results?"

"All the units were out of danger without any casualties. Although shortly after the exchange of fire, the enemy found that it was his own people who had misunderstood, the casualties on both sides were at least more than 300. "

"Well done." At this point, I habitually raised my hand and looked at my watch. Seeing that it was already three o'clock in the morning, I said to him with concern, "Comrade commander, it's getting late. Please take time to have a rest."

At the end of the call with shijerikov, I called Oleg, verol and my guard battalion commander basmanov in front of them and asked them, "is our team back?"

As soon as my words came out, several people couldn't help lowering their heads. After a while, verol replied in a low voice: "report, sir, the team hasn't got any news so far. I think it's very bad."

After listening to her words, I sighed and whispered, "you're right. They haven't got any news yet. I don't think they can come back. Political commissar verol, after dawn, you will send some small teams to search for their whereabouts. Even if you can't find anyone, you will find their bodies. "

Verol nodded and replied, "yes, I'll send for them as soon as it gets light."

I waved to a few people and said, "it's getting late. Go back and have a rest. Let's wait until daybreak."

After they all left, I sat at the table and looked at the German map in front of me in a daze. I thought to myself that even if all the 18 soldiers were killed, our action tonight would be a victory. After all, we eliminated thousands of enemies.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the gate. The sentry standing outside the gate had begun to ask loudly, but it was verol who had just left. Then the door of the headquarters was suddenly pushed open, and verol ran in with surprise.

She stood in front of me, breathless, this just ran a few steps, but excited into this shape, finally adjusted, this is dressed in coarse gas mouth said: "report division commander, eighteen soldiers are back, even a minor injury is not."

Unbelievable, as like as two peas at my face, I was very ecstatic as Vilol did. He asked aloud, "where are they? Take me to have a look. "

When verol and I were in parallel, they walked and answered my question: "according to the soldiers, after completing their mission, they found that their retreat was cut off by the Germans, so they retreated to the south, made a circle around the boss, and then returned to the station."

When I saw the 18 soldiers standing in the square in front of the station again, I went up excitedly and punched everyone in the chest. After beating, I walked back and forth in front of them with my hands on my back for several times, then stopped and said excitedly to them, "our heroes, welcome back in triumph!" Then I turned to the commander next to me and said, "Lieutenant Oleg, commissar verol."

When they heard me calling them, they quickly stepped forward and answered in a loud voice, "here we are!"

I was a little excited and incoherent, and said: "give all the names of the 18 soldiers up. I'll ask for credit for them. I'll ask the commander to honor them in person!"

When I said that, Oleg and verol replied, "yes! I follow your instructions. "

But eighteen soldiers answered with one voice: "willing to serve the Soviet motherland!"

The safe return of the 18 soldiers made me put down the big stone in my heart. As soon as I got back to the headquarters, I couldn't wait to order Shula to contact the headquarters of the group army and report the results of the battle tonight quickly.

After contacting the headquarters of the group army, it was not trakov who answered the phone, but the chief of staff, Colonel Ruskin. Maybe it's because I report good news every time in the dead of night, so Ruskin was disturbed by me in time, but he didn't have an attack. Instead, he patiently asked, "dear oshanina, did you bring me any good news when you called me so late?"

"Yes, chief of staff." Since it was a good news, I didn't hide it. Instead, I said frankly, "tonight, our division's troops decisively attacked the German army and the eastern battalion's camps in the north and south directions of abganerovo station, and achieved brilliant results, so we specially reported our victory to the headquarters."

"O'shanina, just a moment, please. I'll find a pen and paper to record it." Raskin's voice disappeared from the headphones for a short time, and then sounded again, "OK, I'm ready, you say it!"

"Tonight we destroyed the railway and derailed a German train full of soldiers. After the train overturned, the troops ambushed nearby decisively attacked and wiped out all the surviving German troops on the train. Although the final results have not been counted, it is certain that none of the German soldiers in the two battalions on the military line were spared. "

"What are the casualties of your troops?" Raskin asked habitually.

Hearing his question, I said with pride, "report to the chief of staff that only a dozen of our soldiers have been slightly injured."

"What, only a dozen soldiers were slightly injured?" Raskin asked in surprise.

"Yes, comrade chief of staff," I went on to say triumphantly, "in fact, the results are more than that. I also killed the new Azerbaijani battalion stationed in the south of the abganerovo station."

Raskin was stunned by what I said. He said in a confused way, "what, what? You said you wiped out the Azerbaijani battalion? How about the casualties in the army? You won't tell us that there are only a dozen minor injuries, will you

"Of course not. We don't have any casualties!"

Raskin was maddened by my news. He stammered, "Comrade o'shanina, you call me in the middle of the night. You're not here to amuse me, are you? How can there be only so few casualties when we eliminate so many enemies? You know, if our troops do not have an advantage in numbers and weapons, it will be very difficult to win. And your casualties are almost negligible, which is incredible

"Chief of staff," I said clearly, "you have known me for a long time. Do you think I am that kind of boring person?"

"No... No." Raskin hesitated a little and said, "please wait a moment. I'll ask the commander and general trakov to come and let them listen to your results in person."

Raskin inadvertently used honorifics for my address. It seems that he is still skeptical about the achievements of our division, so he asked shumilov and trakov to confirm.

"Hello, Hello, is that oshanina?" he said? I'm trekov. Can you hear me now? "

I hastened to reply, "I hear you very clearly, comrade commander."

"Just now, Colonel Ruskin told me the results you reported. Not only him, but also general shumilov and I thought it was incredible. Let alone your poorly trained and poorly equipped army, even if you transferred the most elite army to fight against the Germans, there would never be only a negligible number of casualties. What's the matter with you? "

As for trekov's questions, I had to answer every question, so I told him the plan I had made and the course of the battle. Finally, I specially emphasized: "Comrade commander, to tell you the truth, when I made this battle plan, I had no bottom in my heart, so before the battle started, I personally went to the front line, I'm just worried that in case the implementation of the plan is unfavorable, I can adjust the deployment according to the actual situation. I didn't expect that even God helped us, and everything went according to our plan. The German army was destroyed by us, and those traitors of our motherland were also removed by us with the help of the German. Let alone you, I would not have believed it if I had not witnessed it with my own eyes. "

Although I have said that, trakov murmured, "it's incredible. If I didn't know you, I would think you were lying. But now that you say that, I believe it, because you are a commander who is good at creating miracles. " At this point, he stopped for a moment, as if he was talking in a low voice with someone nearby, and then his voice came from the earphone, "I have discussed with general shumilov, and you immediately report the names of the 18 soldiers. We will record their merits, and commander shumilov will personally honor them."

"All right, comrade commander. I'll report the names of these heroes to you as soon as it gets light! "

Before I finished my conversation with trakov, verol hurried in again. She saw me on the phone, quickly raised a piece of paper in her hand, opened her mouth and said a few words in silence. I judged from her mouth that she was saying: "Comrade division, I have sent you the list of 18 soldiers."

After I put down the phone, verol, who had been standing beside me, quickly and loudly reported: "Comrade division, I have sent you the list of 18 soldiers!"

I looked down at the long and awkward names on the list, nodded and said, "I see. I'll report their names to the headquarters of the group army as soon as it gets light." Then I pretended to be mysterious and said to him, "Comrade veroll, I have a good news for you. The commander of the group army already knows about these 18 soldiers. He also asked me to report the list as soon as possible. He said that he would come to honor these soldiers in person."

"Really?" Verol almost jumped up when she heard the news. She asked excitedly, "is this all true, Rita?"

"It's true, of course." My mouth so reply, in the heart but some discontented ground say, isn't you meritorious service, need so excited?

And she said a few words, just about to send her away, the operator Shula suddenly excitedly called me: "Comrade teacher, general Zhukov is online, he wants to talk to you."

Zhukov wants to talk to me so late?! Needless to say, it must be trakov who reported my achievements to the headquarters of the front army, which shocked Zhukov. I quickly put on the earphone and said loudly to the transmitter: "Hello, Hello, senior general. I'm o'shanina."

"I congratulate you, Rita." Zhukov said frankly, "I have heard the report of Comrade trakov that your troops have made great achievements in tonight's operation. They have wiped out the Germans and their running dog troops, and the casualties of their own troops can be ignored. It's too expensive."

"You flatter me, Comrade General!" Although I feel a little flattered, I still have to pretend to be modest and say, "it's just a small victory. It's nothing."“ what? A small victory is nothing? " Zhukov said in a somewhat exaggerated tone, "if other troops, like you, could have won such small victories a few more times, we would have almost wiped out the Germans near Stalingrad." I didn't know what Zhukov would say to me next, so I didn't speak. I just listened to him in silence. He continued: "yesterday, when I gave you the order to stick to the station, I was very heavy hearted. I was afraid that my order would put you and your troops in a hopeless situation. But judging from the results of tonight's battle, my worry is superfluous. As Comrade trakov said, you are a commander who is good at creating miracles. Although you are deficient in the overall situation, you are often ingenious in using troops and can catch those ferocious enemies unprepared. It seems that Comrade trakov's vision and courage are good. He should give you an independent army to fight independently in a separate direction. If it were me, I would not be able to do better than him. "“ Comrade general, I am also very grateful to you. Without you, I would not be today. " It's true. If it wasn't for Zhukov's help, I might still be guarding Lenin's mausoleum in the autumn“ Rita, I don't need to say thank you. Keep working hard. I'm waiting to hear more good news from you. "
