As soon as I woke up, it was bright. I didn't get up right away. Instead, I lay in bed and quietly thought about the battle last night. The whole process of the battle, like a movie, went through in my mind.
This time, the plan of killing people with a knife is not comprehensive enough, and there are many problems in operational deployment. For example, I did not think about what to do if the scheme of instigating the German army and the Azerbaijani battalion to fight each other was not successful, so I rashly dispatched three companies. If it were not for the fact that a German troop line was killed by us and blamed on the eastern battalion, our troops would be seen through by the enemy as soon as they opened fire on the Azerbaijani battalion. Thanks to the defecting captain gramus, under my command, constantly sending false news to the German army, so as to confuse the German army's audio-visual, we can win this battle.
The next thing to consider is not only how to stick to the station for a few days, but also how to improve the combat effectiveness of the division's main force. You know, the 6000 recruits supplied by the group army are rookies who have not received any military training and have no combat experience. So I want to urge xiejerikov to use this limited time to train those recruits.
Thinking of this, I immediately got up, pushed open the door and went out. Shula, the only operator in the outer room, is sleeping in front of the telephone with headphones. I walked quickly to her and gently pushed her arm.
Shula, who was sleeping, was awakened by me. She suddenly raised her head and saw that it was me. She wanted to stand up in a panic. I quickly put my hand on her shoulder and said kindly, "Shula, don't stand up, just sit and answer my question."
Shula blushed, nodded, and then explained to me, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm so tired that I fell asleep unconsciously."
"It doesn't matter. You've been working hard these two days." I said to her kindly, "if you don't have telegrams and calls from your superiors, you can have a rest."
Just as he was talking, someone outside the door called out a report. I went to the door, pulled open the door, saw Mikhail and captain gramus standing outside, quickly turned aside and said to them, "you all come in."
I went to the table and sat down. I looked up at the two men. Seeing their serious faces, I couldn't help asking mihayev curiously, "Comrade second lieutenant, is there anything important for you to come with captain gramus?"
"Sir, I think we are in trouble." Mihayev nervously said: "just now, Captain gramus received a telegram from his superior. The other party said that he found a radio signal with unknown origin near the station and asked him if he found any guerrillas nearby?"
If he didn't say that, I didn't think that the German had a radio monitoring car, which could detect the enemy's radio waves. I talked to my superiors in plain language every day without any fear. It was estimated that I would have been under the monitoring of the German army. Would the German army know what we were talking about? Will they send troops to suppress our fake German army next?
Seeing my hesitation, Mikhail couldn't help urging me: "what do you think, sir?"
Instead of answering his question, I turned to Grimes and asked nervously, "Captain Grimes, what's your answer?"
"Report to the division commander, and I will reply that according to the report of the security forces around the station, there is no trace of guerrillas found near the station," Grimes replied drily
After listening to gramus, I asked, "what did your commander say after hearing your report?"
Grimes thought for a moment and said, "the commander seemed dubious about my answer. He ordered me to send more patrols to strengthen the patrol around the station. By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, he would send another company to strengthen the defense of the station."
The German army had to send another company to the station. I couldn't help worrying about the news. If the German army didn't find the unknown radio waves near the station, even if the 100 or so German devils were completely eliminated, it would not cause the slightest suspicion; But now, the superior commander of gramus obviously has doubts about his report. This new army may have the mission of monitoring him, and there may be a separate channel to contact the superior. In this way, we can't attack them casually.
What should we do? The more I thought about it, the more helpless I felt. I just wanted to ask someone to invite Oleg and verol to come to discuss. When I looked up, I found that mihayev and gramus were still standing in the room. So I casually asked, "Captain gramus, did your commander say anything else?"
Originally, I just asked casually, ready to send him away when he said no. after all, the things I discussed with Oleg should not be known by his level. Unexpectedly, after listening to the translation, he nodded and said, "there is another important news."
His words aroused my interest, so I gave up the idea of driving him out and asked curiously, "tell me, what kind of important news is it?"
"The commander informed me that half an hour ago, the field gendarmes of the group army went to the camp in Georgia, arrested all the commanders above the company level and all the members of the inspection team of the camp, and executed them for dereliction of duty."
When I heard that, I could not help shivering. All the commanders above company level and the members of the inspection team, there were at least 30 people, so they were all shot?! The commander of the group army, hort, is really cold-blooded. If he finds radio signals of unknown origin in the station, will he send a gendarme to deal with gramus?
Thinking of this, I quickly walked to the door, shouting to the outside: "come on!"
As I called out, a sentry appeared at the door. I quickly told him: "Comrade soldier, you should immediately invite lieutenant commander Oleg and political commissar verol to come and say that I have something important to discuss with them. Move fast, you go
The soldier nodded silently, turned and disappeared from the door.
Two or three minutes later, Oleg and verol, who had received the order, ran into the headquarters breathlessly. Oleg gasped and asked, "Comrade division, what's the important thing for you to come to us in such a hurry?"
"Sit down, everyone," I told them to sit down first, and then said, "just now captain gramus received a telegram from his superior commander, saying that there was a radio signal of unknown origin near the station, asking him if he found any sign of guerrilla activities around. Fortunately, the captain has perfunctorily passed."
Hearing me say that gramus had perfunctorized his old boss, Oleg heaved a sigh of relief, gave gramus a thumbs up, praised him and said, "well done, Captain gramus."
As soon as he finished, I threw cold water on him: "don't be too happy, commander Oleg. The German army will send another company to the station tomorrow. For the German commander, after all, this is an important transportation hub. Only one company of captain gramus will be stationed, so the strength is a little weak. "
Oleg's smile froze on his face. After a long time, he came back to himself and murmured, "what should we do? When it gets dark, will this new German army be killed quietly? "
"Colonel Oleg, it would have been easier if it had been so simple." I said anxiously, "I'm worried that this army is also carrying communication equipment. When they arrive at the station, they should not be under the command of Captain Grimes' army. They will report to their superiors through their own communication equipment what happened in the station. In this way, our original trick of deceiving the German army will be completely invalid. "
"Sir," asked verol cautiously, "do you have any good idea?"
Because I haven't thought of any good way yet, I can only turn the topic to other aspects first. I told Shula, the operator sitting beside me, "Shula, from now on, you can't talk to the outside world in Ming language unless you have to."
"What about the telegraph?" Asked Shura.
I thought for a moment, if we don't send a telegram, then our contact with the outside world will be completely interrupted? So I nodded and said, "in the future, whether it's communication with the headquarters of the group army or with lieutenant colonel shejerikov, it's all in the form of telegram. Do you understand?"
"I see!" Shula replied loudly.
After dealing with the communication, I turned around and asked the four commanders, "what should I do with the new German troops? Do you have any good suggestions?"
After looking at each other, verol and Oleg stood up and reported to me, "Sir, I have a suggestion. I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Come on, it's time. What else can't be said."
Verol said tentatively: "we can arrange the new German to the warehouse, while our present troops are stationed in the waiting hall and the square in front of the station. What do you think, sir? "
After thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "no, we have seven or eight hundred people now, and nearly half of them do not have German uniforms. The new German army won't just stay in the warehouse. Maybe one or two of them will find our flaws when they hang out. "
"Why don't we make another accident and kill them all?" After half a day's silence, Mikhail suddenly stood up and said his own opinion.
Before I could make a statement, Oleg had already shaken his head and said, "Comrade lieutenant, you think too simply. If you could kill all the enemies, comrade division commander would not be so worried. Don't you hear from the division commander that this group of enemies may also be carrying communication equipment. If they have something to report, they will not report it through captain Grimes, but through their own radio station. If their superiors don't get their information, our disguise will also be exposed. "
"That's not good, that's not good, so what should we do? Can we just watch the Germans swagger into the station and see through our disguise? " Mihayev said a little impatiently.
After his words, there was silence in the room.
I can't think of any good way, neither can Oleg, verol and mihayev. We just sat at the table with big eyes.
At this time, gramus, who has been ignored by us, stood up and hesitated a little and said, "Sir, I have a way, maybe I can get rid of this army."
"Oh, Captain Grimes, you have a good idea. Let's talk about it." Oleg heard what he said, and before mihayev finished translating it for me, he said it first.
"When the new troops come, they will be stationed in the warehouse as political commissar verol said. Next, I can call their commander to this headquarters in the name of negotiating to strengthen the station defense, and then... "
"I see, Captain Grimes. That's a wonderful idea." Before gramus finished, verol laughed happily. She said first: "when the German commanders come, they will take the signalmen with them, so that they can communicate with their superiors. We will control them as soon as they enter the headquarters. Without the commander's troops, it's easy to clean up. "
"What should we do if the superior commander of the German army wants to talk to the commander of this army?" Oleg asked with some concern.
Verol said confidently: "since the commanders have fallen into our hands and they are under our control, they will report as we ask them to do."
I thought about gramus' proposal. It was a good idea, so I nodded and said, "well, in that case, we'll follow captain gramus's proposal. When the German troops arrive tomorrow, Captain Grimes will place them in the warehouse, and then bring their commanders here. When their commander is under our control, second lieutenant mihayev and captain basmanov will take them to disarm the German troops in the warehouse. "
After my words, all the people present nodded and agreed.
Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, I waved my hand and said to them, "since the tasks are clear, you all go back to your respective units to arrange."
After a few people got up and raised their hands to salute me, Oleg and verol turned and left. Mikhail yev was about to leave, but he was held by Captain gramus, who was standing in the same place. The captain said a few words to him.
I looked at mihayev and asked, "Comrade lieutenant, what did captain gramus say?"
Mikhail yev looked at me and said with some embarrassment: "Captain Grimes said that there are still a number of prisoners of war in the warehouse, who are his trusted subordinates. He wants you to release them all. I don't know whether you agree or not. "
It's still a bit difficult for me to release all the prisoners of war in the warehouse. If it's all under gramus's trusted heart, as he said, I don't worry; If one or two of them have two hearts and leak secrets to the new troops, the plan we just designated may fail.
At first, I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't bear to see gramus's sincere eyes. Finally, I gritted my teeth and told Mikhail: "Comrade second lieutenant, please tell captain gramus that I agree to his request. But there is a demand that he will use his own life to guarantee me that he will strictly control these dozens of prisoners, and let him raise his head to see if there is any mistake. "
After listening to what I said, mikhayev stood still. I frowned and asked discontentedly, "Comrade lieutenant, why don't you translate my words to captain Grimes?"
Mihayev said in embarrassment: "Sir, I would like to translate it, but how can I translate the word" see you with your head "
I couldn't help laughing. I thought mihayev didn't want to translate. It turned out that he couldn't translate a word, so I said with a smile, "tell him that if there is something wrong with his subordinates and our plan fails, he won't have to live. He and his men will come to the same end as the German soldiers in the army last night. " At this point, I decisively ordered him: "immediately translate my original words to him."
Mihayev nodded hard, and then translated to captain Grimes. After hearing this, Grimes nodded firmly at me and began to chatter. At the same time, he kept beating himself in the chest with his fist, as if he was showing his determination to me.
I turned my eyes to Mikhail, who immediately understood and interpreted for me: "Sir, please rest assured, I promise you with my military honor and my life. As long as you return these subordinates to me, I will restrain them well and let them act according to your orders. You know, if you don't have these soldiers, no matter how well disguised your subordinates are, there will inevitably be flaws in some details, so they will be detected by the new highly vigilant troops. "
I stepped forward, took gramus's hand, and said earnestly, "Captain gramus, I personally trust you very much. I hope you will not betray my trust in you and successfully complete the plan we just made."
"Sir, please rest assured that I will live up to your trust in me."
Seeing that gramus had already said that, my trust in him increased a little bit. Then I ordered mikhayev: "Comrade second lieutenant, take captain gramus to the warehouse, go to my guard battalion commander, Captain basmanov, and convey my order to him. Release all the German prisoners in the warehouse and give them to captain gramus."
