Chapter 711

Tokaleva's words of determination moved both trikov and gurov. Two people looked at each other for a long time, no one spoke, seems to be looking forward to each other to persuade tokaleva.

After all, he is not only a military commissar of the group army, but also a political commissar. He is the only one to do all this political and ideological work. He stood up, went to tokaleva and said kindly, "Comrade tokaleva, you know that the situation facing the group army is very bad, yes, very bad. A few days ago, the Germans had rushed to the place just ten meters away from the headquarters. If it wasn't for the arrival of Colonel oshanina in time, many of our officers and men might have died. Under such circumstances, we can not and do not have the right to leave you in a dangerous place, because you are all future mothers, and the hope of our country depends on you. It is because of this consideration that the group army command has made such a decision. "

"Commander, commissar"

"Commander, commissar, we are not afraid of sacrifice, we want to stay with you."

"Commander, commissar, let's stay."

I don't know when more than a dozen female soldiers will rush into the headquarters, pleading with each other, hoping that trakov and gurov will regain their fame. When he heard that the headquarters was suddenly in chaos like a vegetable market, the bitter looking trakov's eyes suddenly sharpened. He took a left-right look and yelled: "be quiet, everyone. Don't forget, you are still a soldier!" With his shouts, the women were quiet and looked at him in awe.

After all the people did not speak, he said passionately, "girls, I understand your feelings for the headquarters. In fact, in addition to your safety, another reason is that we are unable to fully open all communication equipment. The situation forces us to use other convenient means of communication, that is, portable radio. In this way, I have to withdraw all of you to the east bank for the time being before I prepare the work place for the communication equipment for the heavy snow. "

As soon as trikov finished, gurov quickly agreed: "it's not only you who want to withdraw to the east bank, but also the rest of the female commanders and fighters in the group." At this point, he stopped for a moment, looked at me, and then said, "even if Colonel oshanina is in the important position of division commander of the independent division, she is also on the list of evacuees. After you withdraw to the east coast, you will be assigned to the confidential units of the front command to continue to work. "

After listening to gulov's words, my heart suddenly cooled. Although the rear organs are safer than the front lines, there is no chance to make contributions. In this era of promotion relying on military achievements, as soon as I enter the rear organs, my future will be in the same place.

When gurov finished speaking, the women soldiers didn't react too much, so he said half comfortingly and half perfunctorily, "comrades, you can go to the East Bank of Volga River first. Have a good rest and I'll let you come back as soon as things get better in the city. "

Hearing the half true and half false promise of trikov, the women soldiers were excited, especially the representative tokaleva, who was elected by everyone, said excitedly: "commander, is what you said true?"

Trekov nodded hard and said positively, "yes, I always mean what I say."

Tokaleva believed trekov's words. She said in a pleading tone: "commander, military commissar, on behalf of all female soldiers, I sincerely implore you that once you have the working conditions, we must go back to the city and continue to work."

"No problem, Lieutenant tokaleva." Gurov patted his chest and assured the other party: "we will inform you to come back to work in time. After all, you are very familiar with the work. But should you go back and pack up now and get ready to go? "

A group of female soldiers raised their hands to pay a solemn salute to trikov and gurov. Then they turned back and walked out of the headquarters with neat steps.

When the women left, trakov and gurov turned and looked at me, who was standing behind them. Trikov asked: "Comrade oshanina, the order is very clear. In order to ensure the safety of the women soldiers, the group army headquarters has decided to transfer all the women soldiers to the East Bank of the Volga River after studying. After my study with the comrades of the military commissar, you are responsible for this retreat. When you get to the east bank, you will not come back for the time being. I will try to get commander Yeliao Menko to arrange a good position for you. "

"Comrade commander and military commissar, can you change one person?" Although trakov's order has been issued, I still don't give up. I tried to make him change his mind: "you know, I'm now the teacher of the independent division, and I'm also shouldering the heavy responsibility of sticking to the mamayev heights. At this time, the independent division can't do without me."

"You don't have to worry about the independent division. When you are away, kirilov political commissar and akhromeyev chief of staff are naturally in charge of the work." Trakov mercilessly broke my illusion, "although I also admit that you have strong command ability, it's not suitable for women on the battlefield. You'd better work in the rear office. After we reported this matter to the headquarters of the front army, not only general Zhukov called to ask about it, but also general rokosovsky called. He wanted to poach you from me. "

"No, comrade commander, I don't want to go anywhere except the 62nd army." I know very well in my heart that if I really agree to rokosovsky's request, I can easily enter his command. But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Once I go to the new front army, all the contributions I made in the battle of Stalingrad will be cleared. I have to start from the beginning. I will not do such a stupid thing. So I tried my best to make my stand to trakov and expressed my idea of staying in the 62nd army“ Besides, I am now engaged in the work of instigating rebellion in the East camp. If I leave at this time, I am afraid that there will be extra trouble. "

When I said that, trakov really remembered the plot of rebellion. I once reported it to him and got permission from the superior. He immediately asked me to sit down and asked seriously, "how's it going?"

I saw that things seemed to take a turn for the better, so I quickly reported to him. When I just mentioned that I disguised myself and went deep into the enemy's rear area last night to discuss the details with Karpov. Gurov interrupted me and said to me in a reproachful tone, "Comrade o'shanina, you are the teacher of the independent division. How can you take risks at will? Fortunately, Karpov really wants to join us. If you meet someone with ulterior motives, it's a question whether you can come back safely. If something goes wrong with you, won't the independent division be in a mess? "

I chuckled twice and said, "Comrade military commissar, if I don't go on this trip, how can I judge whether the other party really wants to surrender or not? I'm not only responsible for the troops sent, but also can't live up to the expectation of general Zhukov."

"What is Zhukov's expectation?" Trekov asked, puzzled.

"The senior general believes that if this revolt is successful, it will not only seriously damage the morale of the German troops who are attacking Stalingrad, but also be of vital importance to the continued disintegration of the fighting spirit of the eastern battalion." I quickly explained what I understood to him.

"How are Karpov's troops going to get out of the German siege after all?" For this army which is about to become its own people, trakov is also worried about their safety.

"At the beginning, our division leaders had two plans to extricate themselves. One was to let the Karpov battalion leave the camp at night, go eastward through the defense area of the 113th German division, reach the Volga River, join our troops, and then go up the river to return to our camp. The second is to let them sneak behind the German army when they attack our division. When the enemy retreats, they will quickly cross the battlefield and join the receiving forces. "

"Not right, not right." After listening to our first two plans, trikov shook his head and said, "the idea is good, but when it comes to implementation, it's a little careless. Maybe the east battalion didn't come out, but put all the troops in."

As for trekov's comments, I nodded with approval and said, "yes, comrade commander, these two plans are far from perfect, so when I talked with Karpov last night, he put forward a better plan." When I said this, I stopped for a moment to see if trakov wanted to express his opinion. Seeing that he was looking at me attentively, I went on to say, "the captain said that there was a deep contradiction between the German army and the Italian army. If the two sides could fight, the enemy, in order to ensure the stability of the defensive line, would transfer part of the German army to monitor the Italian army, If the defense area is vacated, the eastern battalion may be transferred to guard it. As long as they enter the front line, they can leave the enemy's position calmly and enter our position swaggeringly. "

"The key is how to stir up the relationship between the two armies?" "We can't send a few people to their camp to speak ill of both sides," gurov asked thoughtfully

"When we returned, our truck passed through the Italian army camp, because it had only rained before long. When the wheel of the truck ran over the puddle, it accidentally splashed the water on the Italian sentry. Seeing the enemy abusing at the back, I suddenly had an idea. I asked the driver to transfer the car back and beat the Italians hard. I think that would be enough to stir up the conflict between the two sides. "

"Well done. I didn't expect you to achieve the purpose of provoking the contradiction between Germany and Italy After listening to this, trakov praised me. Just when I was overjoyed, he poured cold water on me: "since the rebellion has been almost carried out, I think kirilov and akhromeyev can do well even if you are not here."

Seeing that trakov was not willing to send me to the East Bank of the Volga River, I had the heart to seek death. In less than two months of the battle of Stalingrad, there would be a full-scale counter offensive. When I left at this time, all my previous efforts were wasted. Thinking of this, I asked reluctantly, "Comrade commander, in fact, if you want to direct the withdrawal of female soldiers, you can let other female commanders take charge?"

"Other female commanders? Who is it? " "Do you have the right person?" gurov asked curiously

I nodded hard, stood up and said with a clear mind, "for example, Comrade Li Jiya, political commissar of the 1078th women's antiaircraft artillery regiment, is a very good candidate."

Gulov's face darkened when I said that. He sighed and said with regret, "Comrade Li Jiya died in the air defense battle three days ago." I fell down on my seat and exclaimed in my heart: it's over. Maybe it's because of Li Jiya's sacrifice that they had a heart of pity for Cui Kefu and issued the order that all the women soldiers should withdraw to the east bank. Originally, if Li Jiya was alive, I could blame her for directing the retreat. Now that she has died, it seems that I can't shirk it. Trikov saw me sitting in a daze, patted me on the shoulder and said, "go back to mamayev post immediately, transfer the division's work to kirilov commissar, and then rush to the wharf to command the women's retreat."
