Chapter 726

"In this case," bantaileiev said to me suddenly after pondering for a moment after listening to my words, "Sir, since mines have been laid on the riverbank, we can't let them go behind the German." Seeing that akhromeyev and I were looking at him, we went on to say, "according to my observation during this period of time, there are several trucks passing through the German front and rear camps every day. I estimate it's transportation supplies these years. We planted a few mines on the road that German trucks had to go through, which would certainly blow up their transport team, so that their normal supplies would be affected. "

Looking at the map, I thought Bantai leiev's idea was very reasonable. It seems that his deputy teacher is not a false name. He is more comprehensive than me. I stood up straight and said to him with approval, "Comrade Deputy teacher, you are very considerate. If we only bury mines behind the backs of the Germans, no matter which direction they move, they can't escape the mine array we set for them. In this way, their range of activities will be compressed in a limited space by us. " At this point, I stopped, turned around and told akhromeyev, "Comrade chief of staff, add the map to the position pointed out by the deputy division chief."

Akhromeyev readily agreed, picked up the red and blue pencils on the table, and added several new mine laying sites just behind the German front. While drawing, I was whispering to myself. I listened to him and heard him say: "this is the enemy's patrol route. Bury one here. After the top soldiers are blown down, the enemy behind will certainly run in this direction, so we will bury two more here and give them a pothole. "

Not only me, but also bantaileiev heard ahlomeyev. He grinned with a big grin and asked me, "Comrade teacher, do we have anything important to do during the day?"

When he said that, I remember that the recruits have been adding to the regiments for some time, and I don't know what the training results are. There are no new recruits in the regiment, so there is no need to call them; The second regiment was right under my nose. Every now and then I could see the soldiers working hard in the trenches; Recently, the small-scale fighting of the fourth regiment has never stopped. Because Gaidar has transferred the recruits company to the position in turn to take part in the fighting, he has achieved the goal of replacing training with fighting, so he can not be called. The rest is the third regiment. I haven't talked about it since I added new recruits. Today, when I have time, I want to call to ask.

While thinking, I picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the headquarters of the third regiment. After hearing Godunov's voice, I said to him in a loud voice, "Hello, I'm teacher oshanina. Is that major Godunov?"

"It's me, sir." Godunov's respectful voice came out of the receiver. He asked carefully, "do you have any important combat tasks to hand over to our regiment when you call at this time?"

"How are the new recruits for your regiment training?" I asked directly.

"Not bad," Godunov replied vaguely. "After today's training, almost all the soldiers have learned to shoot."

"Optics can shoot, but not." Obviously, I was not satisfied with his reply, so I criticized him without hesitation: "it is very helpful to find opportunities for soldiers to go out for exercise and let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield."

"But, sir, you have placed our regiment in its present position." As for my criticism, Godunov said wrongly, "to the north is the mamayev post where the fourth regiment of the second regiment and division headquarters are located, to the south is the defense area of the first regiment, to the East is the Volga River Ferry, and to the west is the Soviet street and flour mill defended by friendly forces. We have no chance to take part in the battle."

"Thanks to you being the commander, you don't know how to be flexible at all. If you don't have enemies around you, you don't know how to send troops to places where there are enemies to compete with them." Hearing his complaint, I immediately became anonymous and yelled at him angrily: "I really doubt whether you are still suitable for your present position."

My angry voice may be too loud, which not only startled bantailiev and akhromeyev nearby, but also kirilov who filled in the form in the corner. He looked up at me with surprise, as if to find out the reason for my anger.

I found myself in public and could not help blushing. I pretended to cough twice and cleared my throat. I was considering whether I should apologize to Godunov for my anger. I inadvertently thought that mihayev's engineering company would be responsible for land mines and land mines. Because of the large amount of work, it was necessary to provide them with some suitable personnel. In addition to the newly added troops, the remaining officers and men of the third regiment are all from Gulag concentration camp. There must be a lot of useful personnel. Moreover, they have rich combat experience. It is very appropriate for them to deploy manpower to assist Mikhail. Thinking of this, I picked up the receiver again and asked Godunov kindly, "Comrade major, I want to ask you, has anyone in your regiment ever been an engineer?"

Although Godunov didn't understand the meaning of my question, he replied honestly: "Mr. reporter, there are about thirty people in the regiment who have experience in this field. If more people are needed, I can't help it."

"That's enough. Thirty people will be enough." When I heard that he was really able to help Mikhail yev, I felt a lot more confident. Then I told him, "in the evening, you should send all these people here and let them go directly to report to captain Mikhail yev, the commander of the engineering company."“ I see. I'll get these people together right away. " Godunov replied briefly. In the following time, there was silence in front of the fourth regiment's position. The German who suffered a lot from the night attack stayed in their position honestly and did not dare to attack us. Since most of the work is shared by me, I've been idle all day. From time to time, I ran out of the headquarters, stood outside the cave and looked at the sky, muttering to myself why it was not dark. As soon as it gets dark, Mikhail's engineering company can start. After waiting anxiously, the night finally came. When I saw Mikhail walking into the headquarters, I felt inexplicably relaxed. Kirilov asked Mikhail with a smile, "Comrade captain, are you ready?"“ Yes, comrade political commissar. " Mikhail yev replied in a loud voice: "the engineering company is fully equipped and ready to fight at any time."“ Good, Captain mihayev "I'm glad to see that you can keep such a strong fighting spirit," I said At this point, I changed the subject and asked, "have you seen the soldiers sent to you by the third regiment?" Mikhail yev was stunned at first, then said desperately, "yes, the third regiment has sent us 35 soldiers, all of whom have rich combat experience, and many of them have participated in engineering training. With their help, I have more confidence in completing the task."“ Comrade captain, come to me. " Akhromeyev, who was standing at the table, yelled at him, "by the way, take my map of minefields."“ Minefield distribution map Mikhail yev looked at me in surprise and then hesitated to go to akhromeyev. After taking the map, he immediately buried himself in a careful look up“ Comrade captain, "seeing that he was fascinated, Bantai leiev passed by, stopped beside him and asked with great interest," what do you think of this minefield distribution map? "“ How to say, comrade deputy division commander. " Shaking the map of mine distribution in his hand, mihayev excitedly said to bandeleev: "the arrangement of mine laying position in this map is really wonderful. As long as we bury the mines, the Germans will not only leave their camp from which direction, but also be blown up by the mines that have moved their positions“ Comrade captain, have you figured out how to carry out this task? " Bantaileiev continued to ask, and at the same time kindly reminded the other party: "the key to completing this task is that you can't be found by the enemy no matter in the process of setting up mines or re laying mines, otherwise all your previous achievements will be wasted."“ I understand, comrade deputy division. " Mikhail yev took the map to the middle of the two men, pointed to it and began to explain: "I plan to divide the army into two parts, one is led by my deputy company commander, and go down the river from the bottom of the river embankment to take out all the mines along the road. Then they carry these mines around quietly to the back of the enemy's position and bury them all in the place where their vehicles must pass. And I will lead the rest of the troops. After the deputy company commander completes the mine clearance and makes a detour to the enemy's rear, I will also go down the river along the river bank. About 50 or 80 meters away from the minefield of the enemy's position, I will come up from the river bank and crawl close to their barbed wire. After cutting the gap in the barbed wire, I will send ten soldiers to climb into the minefield and take out the mines inside. These mines will be laid one by one at the exit of the enemy camp and in front of our army positions. As for the mines on the river banks, in order to prevent accidental injuries, they must be laid after the deputy company commander and his troops withdraw. "“ Comrade captain, you have considered it very comprehensively. " Bantailiev said this, turned to ask us: "do you have anything else to entrust?" Seeing that we were shaking our heads, he gave a direct order to Mikhail: "in this case, take your troops and set out. Good luck Then he reached out to Mikhail.
