Chapter 612

When kirilov said these words, I sat on the stone bench next to razumeyeva and kept silent. I felt very sad because of this honor that I won and lost again.

"Colonel oshanina, as your political commissar, I should criticize you," kirilov continued. "You are the head of a division. Even if you recruit German troops on your own initiative, for security reasons, you should disperse them to various units instead of reorganizing them into guard units and placing them next to the division headquarters. Have you ever thought that if they suddenly turn the muzzle of their guns and drop the division headquarters when the German forces attack, then our troops will be leaderless and the command system will fall into chaos. In that case, the Germans can easily take down the mamayev post. "

After listening to kirilov's words, I nodded, knowing that he said it from the bottom of his heart for my good, but it was not the right time to disperse the troops of gramus and Beckman into the company. Thinking of this, after taking a deep breath, I raised my head and said to him, "Comrade political commissar, what you said is very reasonable. It's really a bit thoughtless for me to reorganize the defected German officers and soldiers into guard company. It's not as comprehensive as you think. However, since they have been formed into a guard company, it is easy to shake the morale of the army if they are to be dispersed into other companies. I think we should maintain the status quo. " After that, I stopped for a moment, and then tentatively asked him, "is that ok?"

For my stubborn opinion, Kurloff said with great interest, "Comrade commander, before the independent division, commander cucuo once told me that after the arrival of the division, the military matters has the final say of you. The thing that you adapt to the German army should belong to the military field."

"Comrade political commissar, thank you for your trust. Please believe that I can see people right." Although I understand kirilov's words are reasonable, at this time, if I disperse captain gramus and his men to various companies, it will certainly cause unnecessary confusion, so I can only play fat face and say with a stiff head: "although they are all German, they are on our side now. I believe them."

"I believe in them", although I said it in front of kirilov and razumeyeva, I don't know how. Before long, both Grimes and Beckman knew it, so they specially expressed their loyalty to me. After I thought about it carefully, the people who leaked my words would never be kirilov and razumeyeva, or the soldiers standing guard outside the door. In other units, ordinary soldiers certainly don't get along well with the defected German troops, let alone tell them such important news. However, the members of the independent division are almost all prisoners from Gulag concentration camp. Compared with the Germans, they hate the Cheka members of the Ministry of interior most, so they have much less psychological resistance to the Germans, This is the way to inform the German allies.

After deciding their fate, kirilov changed the topic in time. He asked anxiously, "Comrade division, the bombing of only a few enemy planes today has caused us so many casualties. If the enemy bombards us again during the air raid, do you think our troops can hold the mamayev post firmly?"

I didn't know how to answer the question kirilov heard. In the history that I know, mamayev post changed hands the most times in the whole battle of Stalingrad. In order to fight for this commanding height, the two sides launched a desperate battle on this small highland. When one side is defeated, it immediately organizes troops to attack and occupy. After the occupation, it begins to defend tenaciously. Tons of shells and bombs kept falling on the high ground all day, turning the whole ground over. At the same time, the use of bayonets, grenades of the white-edged war, all the time here.

Although I once imagined that as long as I led the troops to guard here, I could turn the mamayev post into a gate that the German army could not cross. But after the troops really arrived here, I found that the situation was far more serious than I imagined. There was no air supremacy, no artillery, no Anti Tank Firepower, and I had to rely on the flesh and blood of thousands of light infantry to resist the German armed to the teeth.

Seeing my delay in speaking, kirilov was a little impatient and repeated his question again: "do you think we can hold the mamayev post, sir?"

I organized some words in my mind and said slowly, "political commissar kirilov, I, Captain trushen, waved my hand and said with disapproval," no, although the Germans bombard the city incessantly, the production in our factory is still going on. The workers repaired tanks and weapons in the surviving factories, and used their spare time to clean up the debris and stones in the street due to the collapse of houses. Two days ago, we also repaired the municipal water pipeline to ensure the water supply for the residents in the city. "

"How many people are there in your camp?" Kirilov then asked.

"There are 600 people in the whole battalion, all of whom are the backbone of the factory. Comrade chuyanov said that our working class is the backbone of building the motherland by taking up tools. We are also the backbone of defending the motherland by putting on military uniforms and taking up arms. "

"What's the mood of the workers?" Kirilov is a political worker. The question he asked was different from what I usually asked.

"Full of fighting enthusiasm. Please rest assured that as long as we have one more person, we will be nailed to the position like a nail. It is better to expose the bones on the hills than to let the enemy move forward. "“ Sir, political commissar, I have a call from the city defense committee to the public to defend Stalingrad. " Captain igratov, who had been silent all along, broke in suddenly. Igratov's words aroused kirilov's strong interest. He asked with great interest, "what kind of call book, show me." Unexpectedly, igratov gave an apologetic smile and replied, "sorry, comrade political commissar, I don't have one here." Seeing the disappointment on kirilov's face, he hastily added, "but I remember all the contents of the call book." Trushen quickly encouraged igratov and said, "igratov, don't play the game. Recite the contents of the call book to the teachers and political commissars as soon as possible." Igratov turned his eyes to us. Seeing that kirilov and I nodded in agreement, he stood up and recited for us the call book written by the Stalingrad city defense committee: "Dear citizens of Stalingrad! The fierce enemy has invaded our city. What we suffered 24 years ago is happening again today. The bloodthirsty Hitler gangsters pounced on the Sun City Stalingrad and the great Russian river Volga. Red Army soldiers are desperate to defend Stalingrad, and the ground is covered with the bodies of bandits*** Hitler, the leader, sent more and more desperators to take Stalingrad at any cost. Fellow citizens of Stalingrad, we will never hand over the city to the enemy. We will make every street in the city full of barricades that the enemy cannot pass through, and turn every house, every block and every street into an impregnable fortress. We all go to build barricades. We should organize teams to build barricades on the streets every day. We should make use of the stones, wood, ironware and tramcars at hand to build barricades. We should build the barricade as soon as possible, so that our soldiers, the defenders of Stalingrad, can use the barricade we built to beat the enemy. Red Army soldiers! Defenders of Stalingrad! To protect the city, we will do our best to support you. Never step back and strike the enemy hard. The German aggressors committed many acts of brutality. They avenged the German aggressors for their destroyed homes and for the blood and tears of their children, mothers and wives. Defenders of Stalingrad! In the stormy year of 1918, our parents beat back the German hired gangs and held the red chariot. On this day in 1942, we are sure to hold on to Stalingrad, who won the red flag medal. We must persevere in fighting back the enemy and thoroughly eliminate the bloodthirsty German aggressors. Let's build the barricade! So those who can take up arms have to go up to the barricade to defend the city and the homeland. " This is the end of the call book of the city defense committee. Igratov scratched the back of his head, gave us a embarrassed smile, and said, "I have finished reciting the call book, teacher and Commissar." Kirilov nodded with satisfaction, looked at trushen and said with a smile, "Comrade captain, your subordinate is really good. He can recite such a long call book." Trushen gave a simple and honest smile. Then he put away his smile and asked solemnly, "the militia camp is gathering at the foot of the hillside. They are willing to wait for you. I don't know where you are going to send us?"
