Chapter 645

One of the enemy planes was hit by the anti-aircraft fire on the shore and flew to the distance with a long smoke belt. The rest of the enemy planes did not dare to fight. After a while of random shooting, they also flapped north and left the battlefield. The fleet now approached the shore and entered the blind area of enemy artillery fire. The enemy artillery stopped their useless shelling.

Due to the shelter of the hills, we can't see the specific situation on the wharf in the observation station. We can only see the fire and smoke rising from the river. This is the burning of the military steamer. I don't know that in the just crossing operation, Captain Jinwei followed basmanov to kirilov, raised his hand to salute him, and politely said: "Hello, comrade political commissar of the regiment. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Colonel Yelin, head of the 39th regiment of the 13th division of the guards. I've been ordered to take over the defense of 107.5 highland in the defense area of the independent division. "

After listening to his introduction, kirilov reached out to hold each other's hands, shook them vigorously, and said excitedly, "Hello, Colonel Yelin! I'm kirilov, political commissar of the independent division. Welcome. You've just crossed the river, and the commanders and fighters are tired. You'd better have a rest first, and then go to 107.5 highland to receive the defense. "

I also quickly walked to the two men's side, took the initiative to extend my hand to Colonel Yelin, and said in a friendly way: "Hello, comrade Yelin. I'm the commander of the independent division, Colonel oshanina. Welcome to our defense area with you and your troops. "

Ye Lin obviously didn't expect that the teacher of the independent division was actually a woman. After a moment of stupefaction, he took my hand and said politely, "Hello, comrade o'shanina, I didn't expect that the teacher of the independent division was a woman."

"It's not a good idea, Colonel Yelin. What about women? Is it possible to be a division commander instead of commanding troops? " Kirilov said to Yelin with a straight face: "you know, Colonel oshanina is an excellent commander with outstanding military achievements. Not only the commanders of the front army and the group army are familiar with her, but also the Supreme Commander himself thinks highly of her."

Kirilov's praise to me made Yelin feel ashamed. He murmured, "I'm sorry, comrade oshanina. I'm not... Not..."

In order to prevent his embarrassment, I promptly changed the topic: "Comrade Colonel, have all your guards crossed the river?"

Ye Lin shook his head and said, "Comrade oshanina, I'm disappointed that only one battalion of the 34th, 42nd and 39th regiments of the guards has crossed the river. The other two battalions, the guard company and the artillery regiment of our regiment are still on the East Bank of the Volga River. Maybe they can all cross over tonight. "

"Colonel Yelin, please come here. I'll tell you something about highland 107.5." Akhromeyev and so on, when we had finished talking, he went to Yelin and asked him to come to the table to understand the defensive area he was about to take over through the map.

After we and Yelin gathered around the table, akhromeyev began to introduce the situation: "Comrade Colonel, highland 107.5 is located two kilometers away from the west side of mamayev post. Its characteristics are that the north slope is gentle, easy to attack and difficult to defend, while the south slope is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. That is to say, once the highland is lost, we will pay a heavy price to launch a counterattack from the south slope. "

After hearing this, Ye Lin asked, "what's behind the highland?"

"About one kilometer away from the highland is the Soviet street. The nearby residential buildings are the family dormitories of the state consumer cooperative association. There is also a flour mill nearby. In the center of the mill is a tall chimney on which observation posts can be set to monitor the movements of the enemy within a few kilometers."

I heard for the first time that there is a flour mill behind 107.5 highland, and there is a tall chimney in the flour mill. Hearing this, I can't help but scold Godunov in my heart. Since an observation post is set up on the chimney, we can monitor the enemy's situation within a few kilometers around, why are you still attacked by the German army, resulting in the loss of positions?

After akhromeyev's introduction, I habitually asked, "Colonel Yelin, if you have any difficulties, just mention them. As long as they are within our ability, we will solve them for you."

I didn't expect Ye Lin to listen to our words, and a long face, then hesitated: "Comrade O Natsu Chaanning Aa, Kirilov political commissar, I really have a difficult matter, I want to ask you to help!"

Before I had time to ask the other party what difficulties they had, kirilov had already taken the lead in saying, "Comrade Ye Lin, we are all friendly forces. If you have any difficulties, please mention them. We will try our best to solve them for you."

Seeing that kirilov and I both said that we wanted to help ourselves solve the problem, Ye Lin boldly said, "well, although our guard division is fully equipped with more than 10000 soldiers, it is poorly equipped with weapons and ammunition. There are more than 1000 soldiers in the division, even without weapons. The battalion I brought with me has 500 people, of whom 200 are unarmed. I just want to ask you to provide weapons for our department. "

When I heard his request, I was dumbfounded. We should know that the current equipment of the independent division is also half Soviet style weapons, half German, Italian, Romanian and Hungarian equipment. If the weapons are given to the 39th regiment, many of our soldiers will have to charge the enemy barehanded in the next battle. When I think of charging the enemy with my bare hands, I suddenly think of the later movie soldiers in the city, which is related to the battle of Stalingrad. When Vasili, the famous sniper, first entered the battlefield, he grabbed five bullets in his hand, even without a gun, and then followed the big army to attack the enemy. If he had not been lucky, he would have been killed either by German bullets or by machine gun bullets of the overseers. There are thousands of unarmed soldiers in the guard division. Is Vasili in this unit?

Thinking of this, I can't help asking Colonel Yelin if there is a Siberian Hunter Vasili in his army. But my mouth opened a few, still can't say a word. You know, Vasili I know is just a hero portrayed in the film. Whether there is such a person is still unknown. If trade rashly asked, it would certainly arouse everyone's suspicion, so I finally chose silence.

But my expression was in Yelin's eyes. He thought I was going to say something. He looked at me quickly and asked politely with a smile, "Colonel o'shanina, do you have anything to say?"

He asked, immediately put me in an awkward position. Seeing that all the people turned their eyes on me, I had to smile and say in disguise, "I want to ask Colonel Yelin if two hundred rifles are enough?"

Hearing what I said, Ye Lin nodded busily and said, "enough, enough, 200 rifles are enough!"

"Well, I'll ask the third regiment to keep 200 rifles for you and a walkie talkie for you during the change of guard, so as to keep in touch."

When I promised to give 200 rifles to the 39th regiment, akhromeyev's face showed a surprised expression. He moved his lips to me. Although he didn't make a sound, I understood what he said: "Sir, the third regiment has no extra weapons. Where can I find 200 rifles for them?"

I deliberately pretended not to see ahlomeyev's expression, turned to look at kirilov, but saw him laughing and talking with Yelin, as if I promised to give the 39th regiment weapons, and he also had a light on his face.

Under such circumstances, I was unable to ride a tiger, so I had to harden my head and order akhromeyev: "Comrade chief of staff, call captain Godunov of the third regiment, and ask him to keep 200 rifles for the comrades of the 39th regiment during the change of guard, and if possible, two more machine guns."

At the same time, he said gratefully, "thank you, Colonel oshanina. With these weapons, I believe our troops will be more confident to hold the position."

When I shook hands with him, I ordered akhromeyev to say, "chief of staff, and call lieutenant mihayev to ask him to come to the division headquarters."

When I let go of Yelin's hand, I pointed to the place nearby and said to him with some worry: "Comrade Yelin, the German army has been very cautious in the offensive these two days because of the losses of our division recently. Once they find that the defenders of 107.5 highland have changed, they may adopt the old way of playing, that is, strong attack in the middle and detour on both wings. Let us be responsible for the security of your right wing. We have decided not to watch the enemy pass under our eyes and go around behind you. In addition, if we want to keep the high ground, we need to strengthen our fortifications. I have asked the company commander of the division's engineering company to come over and let him explain to you how to build solid fortifications. "

Ye Lin nodded thoughtfully and said, "when I came here, I saw the officers and men of the independent division working on the fortifications all the way. According to my estimation, the reason why the German army has repeatedly failed in front of your positions is that you have strong fortifications. "

Mikhail yev soon arrived at the headquarters. I called him to Yelin. After introducing the two men, I told Mikhail yev: "Comrade lieutenant, Colonel Yelin's troops will soon come to the 107.5 highland for defense. You can give him a brief introduction of our division's experience in building fortifications."

When mihayev began to introduce Yelin's experience in building fortifications, I inadvertently saw razumeyeva receiving a telegram. I guessed that it might be a telegram from the headquarters of the group army, so I walked towards her. As I stood beside her waiting for the telegram, Mikhail's voice kept coming into my ears The entrance to the fortification should not be too large. It is better to allow only one person to enter and exit. Moreover, the entrance to the fortification should be connected with a corridor. Every two or three meters in the corridor, there is a thick curtain stained with water, which can effectively absorb and prevent the explosion shock wave of shells or bombs. So as not to explode shock wave and shrapnel and kill our soldiers from the entrance.... "

Before I finished listening to Mikhail, razumeyeva had already raised her head and handed me a telegram. When I took it over, it turned out that it was a new order issued by the headquarters of the group army: "from now on, all troops in the section from the mamayev post, the railway ring line to the zarica river will be under the command of general rojmtsev, commander of the 13th division of the guards. Trekov

When I saw the telegram, I was stunned. Originally, I thought that after the 13th division of the guards came, even if they wanted to send troops to take over the defense of 107.5 highland, the independent division and them would be independent and not interfere with each other. Unexpectedly, trakov suddenly issued such an order that all the combat forces in the north of our city, including the independent division, would be under the command of rojmtsev.

I stood beside the telephone for a long time in a daze, so that kirilov called me a few times, I did not hear. Or sitting next to razumeyeva gently pushed me a few times, I heard her whisper to remind me: "teacher, political commissar comrades are calling you!"

With a quick cough and a smile on my face, I went over to kirilov and them. At the same time, I held up the telegram in my hand and said in a loud voice, "the telegram just sent from the headquarters officially informs us that from now on, our independent division will be under the command of general rodymtsev!"

Kirilov gave a serious, um, look after the telegram. He took it from me and looked down. The more he looked at it, the tighter his brow was. When Yelin heard the news, he was very happy and said excitedly, "it's really great. Since it's all under the command of Mr. rojmtsev, we can fight side by side in the future."“ Yes, yes, comrade Colonel, you said it very well I said with a smile: "I hope that under the leadership of the general, we will cooperate sincerely and defeat the German aggressors as soon as possible."
