Chapter 734

Captain Karpov, who was informed, soon entered the headquarters. Due to the rush of time, he was still wearing a German uniform and a German cornice hat, but his left arm was still tied with a white towel.

Trikov was stunned when he saw his dress. Then he welcomed him with a smile and offered his hand to the other side. When shaking hands, he said warmly, "welcome, welcome, Captain Karpov, welcome back to our army. From now on, we will be comrades in arms."

With red eyes, Karpov kept a standing posture and said: "Comrade commander, we have taken a detour before, and we are awakened by your inspiration. In the coming days, we will use our own blood donation and life to defend our motherland."

"Well said, well said. Comrade Karpov. " As for Karpov, trakov changed his name from captain to comrade, expressing his recognition of him: "we will fight side by side in the future, until all the aggressors are driven out of our motherland." After a pause, he asked, "Comrade Karpov, where are your troops and I want to see them?"

"Comrade commander," Karpov quickly replied, "I thought you would inspect my troops, so when I came here, I asked some of my company commanders to gather their troops outside the cave. You can go to inspect them at any time." With that, he stepped back wisely and leaned aside, waiting for trakov to go out and review his troops.

Seeing that Karpov had given way, he turned to us and said, "come on, let's go outside and see the officers and men of Karpov camp." In his words, the names of officers and soldiers of the eastern battalion have been replaced by the names of officers and soldiers.

When I went out, I saw that lieutenant colonel Wei inlubu just laughed at me, but still stood beside razumeyeva and didn't move his nest. I guessed that he might have any task left behind, so I didn't care about him any more, and quickened his pace to follow trakov.

When I got to the entrance of the cave, trakov stopped suddenly, and I hit him with my head. I asked a little embarrassed: "Comrade commander, why did you stop suddenly?"

Trekov pointed to the outside of the cave and said to me with great interest, "Comrade oshanina, look at the troops sitting on the ground outside. They are well-trained."

I looked in the direction of his fingers and saw more than 200 soldiers in German uniforms and helmets sitting in the open space outside the cave. I didn't find any place to see that they were well-trained. He asked curiously, "Comrade commander, where do you see that they are well-trained?"

Instead of answering me, trakov said to himself, "they're sitting on the ground, but the whole line is neat and straight. The German trained troops are different from our troops. As long as time goes by, they will become a powerful and elite force. " With that, he raised his leg and walked forward.

A group of us came to the front of the team surrounded by trikov. The officers and men sitting on the ground looked at each other and didn't know what to do next. At this moment, Karpov only heard a loud cry: "listen to my command, all - stand up!"

With his command, the commanders and fighters sitting on the ground stood up in unison, all standing at attention, head high. Although it's a hasty queue, the horizontal and vertical lines are in a straight line. Seeing this, I can't help praising in my heart that trakov really has vision. If he is not well-trained, it's not easy to form such a neat queue.

Trekov turned his face around, gave me a meaningful smile, and then said, "Comrade oshanina, what's the matter? Am I right?"

I nodded, then made a sign to Karpov, asked him to come to me and said to him in a low voice, "Comrade captain, it happens that Comrade commander is here. It's very helpful for us to ask him to speak to the commanders and fighters."

"I see." Karpov agreed, then went up to trakov and asked him in a low voice. Seeing that trakov nodded with a smile, he immediately got excited and turned to his subordinates and said in a loud voice: "brothers, now let's invite general trakov, commander of the group army, to speak a few words to us. Welcome." Then he took the lead in clapping. With his demonstration effect, the commanders and fighters clapped their hands together, and even I had to clap my hands as if I were doing it.

Trekov raised his hands and pressed them down. When the applause stopped, he moved two steps closer to the line and began his speech. First of all, trakov made a report on the campaign situation to the commanders and fighters, introduced the great situation of a series of victories that the Soviet army had won in other battlefields, and called on everyone to put down their burdens and go to battle lightly, and make their own contributions to the defense of Stalingrad.

When we got back to the headquarters and saw that we were surrounded by familiar people, I finally couldn't help asking trekov, "Comrade commander, you have been asking about the Ming language call today. What's the matter?"

At first, trikov had a happy face. When I asked him this question, his face sank down. Without looking back, he called out, "Lieutenant Commander Wei inlubu, come here for a moment."

Hearing his cry, Wei inlubu, who was standing beside razumeyeva, trotted to our side, leaned down and asked, "Comrade commander, do you have any instructions?"

"Comrade commander, please tell general o'shanina the details of what happened today."

"Yes Wei yinlubu promised to tell us what happened today according to trekov's command: "according to the plan of the headquarters, before dawn today, we have two temporary infantry regiments, which will attack the German army here from the East and west sides of Orlov, and immediately wipe out the enemy. The battle started within the prescribed time. After a while, the commanders of the two regiments reported to the headquarters one after another, saying that the enemy on the opposite side had behaved abnormally and fought extremely tenaciously in the face of our fierce attack. After listening, chief of staff Krylov felt that something was wrong, and immediately informed the two troops to stop the attack in code language through the radio station.

After the two regiments stopped attacking, the fighting in the area ended. The commanders of the two regiments felt that the situation was not right, so they sent scouts to check it, only to find out unexpectedly that it was the friendly troops who had just exchanged fire with them. The Germans they wanted to wipe out had no idea where they were going.

After repeated searching, a German engineer who was laying mines was captured nearby. After questioning him, we found out that half an hour before the battle, the enemy intercepted our Ming language call, understood our attack direction and force distribution, and withdrew from the position in time.

When the heads of the two regiments learned of the situation, they reported it to the headquarters in a hurry. General Krylov felt that something was wrong and ordered them to retreat immediately. When they returned to the starting position, the enemy's artillery fire covered the area where our troops were assembled, and the unprepared officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties in the artillery fire. At this time, the enemy's retreating troops, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, came back. At the end of the battle, the two regiments were almost annihilated, except for a dozen wounded people

What Wei yinlubu said scared all of us into taking a breath. After a long time, kirilov tentatively asked, "Comrade commander, how did our army's offensive plan leak out? Have you investigated it clearly?"

Trekov shook his head and said bitterly, "I don't know. According to chief of staff krailov's judgment, it should be the enemy who eavesdropped on the Ming language calls of our army's commanders and fighters. That's why they learned about our army's combat plan and cleverly set up a complete set of plans, waiting for our troops to jump in. "

At this time, I understood why trakov was asking if our division had frequently used the wireless communication system for Ming language calls. It turned out that he was worried that the information was leaked from us. Although all kinds of signs indicate that this leak has nothing to do with us, I still want to take this opportunity to say a few words to trekov: "Comrade commander, I think there are too many and too many units in the group army, so we can't exchange intelligence among them. Moreover, due to the lack of communication equipment, the army lacks relevant communication rules. What made matters worse was that individual troops ignored the communication security system and often called out in public. As a result, the situation of our army was inadvertently stolen by the German army. For example, this leak is related to the imperfection of this system. It's not terrible to lose a battle. What's terrible is that if the battle is defeated, if we don't find out the reasons, we will lose again in the future. "

"Say what you think in your heart all at once," trekov said, looking at me. "I also want to know what you think differently."

I nodded and then said, "I find that many troops pay very little attention to battlefield experience and despise the act of summing up experience. Soldiers seldom teach each other battlefield experience. The result is that every time we lose a lot, we forget all the lessons, and then the same stupid thing happens again. "

"Yes, it does. Now that you mentioned it, I will change it within my ability. " At this point, he suddenly changed the topic and asked, "how do you think we should make good use of our existing forces to carry out urban warfare in the present situation?"

As for his question, I had already considered it, so I came to him with an open mouth: "in order to make the best use of our own advantages, we must avoid fighting positional warfare in order to stick to the city. Small units are more suitable for urban operations. Generally, we don't use flanking encirclement tactics, but use close pressing tactics, which makes it easy for us to find the weakness of the German army, so as to eliminate them in a targeted way. "

When I just said this, razumeyeva suddenly called out: "Hello, comrade commander, the group army headquarters is calling for you or commander trakov."

Wei yinlubu looked down at trikov and wanted to wait for his order. Trikov nodded to him and said, "Comrade commander, please answer the phone. Maybe the chief of staff has found out something."

When Wei yinlubu went to answer the phone, the room was silent, and everyone's attention was focused on Wei yinlubu who was answering the phone.

After Wei yinlubu answered the phone, he went back to trakov with a serious expression, bent down and reported to him, "Comrade commander, I understand. According to the investigation of the communications department, before the attack, the commander of one of the regiments used the wireless communication system to communicate with his subordinates in Ming language. Maybe at that time, the enemy eavesdropped on our plan and adjusted the original deployment accordingly. "

After listening, trakov smashed his fist on the table, which startled all of us. "Hateful," he said angrily, "it's hateful. It was because of a small negligence of the commander that not only destroyed our operational plan, but also made the commanders and fighters of our two regiments sacrifice in vain. If the commander had not died in the battle, I would have sent him to the military court. "

However, at this point, no one can recover it, and the plan of attacking the German army in Orlov failed.

I waited for the anger on trikov's face to subside a little, then I gently persuaded him: "Comrade commander, since this has happened, it's no use for you to be angry. Otherwise, we will readjust our deployment and organize our forces to launch a new attack. "

"Organize forces?" Trikov rolled a white eye at me and said discontentedly, "I have too many troops in my hand now. Where can I deploy my troops to organize a new attack?"

"Comrade commander," kirilov said, "you may as well listen to Comrade o'shanina. Maybe she has any good suggestions."

After listening to kirilov's words, trakov looked at me again and said weakly, "well, comrade oshanina, I want to ask you, if you were the commander and I asked you to attack the enemy's defensive City, how would you command the troops?"

"Comrade commander, if I were a commander," he said, "when it comes to fighting hard battles, it may be my weakness, but it's not a big deal for me to carry out guerrilla warfare in the city. So I said confidently," in the city defense, the defenders are in a favorable position because they are familiar with the terrain. If we want to capture the urban areas occupied by the enemy from their hands, we must have a careful plan and adopt piecemeal tactics instead of forced attack. I tend to gradually nibble at the tactics of small enemy units in small residential areas or urban ruins, so that our troops will have less chaos in the execution of combat tasks. "

Trekov nodded: "that makes sense. Is there anything else you need to pay attention to?"

"Of course, logistics supply is relatively important. Food and ammunition should be provided. Soldiers should never have food in their stomachs or weapons without bullets.

Strictly strengthen the management of communication equipment to prevent leakage. All units should resolutely obey the command of the headquarters of the group army and improve the cooperation between the units and the air ground coordination. No longer try the close combat of infantry, but replace it with aerial firepower and heavy artillery. Although this kind of fighting method may not have a good effect, it can improve the survival rate of our army's commanders and fighters.

Instead of being reckless in the past, it should be replaced by slow and powerful action.

The troops kept in touch with the enemy and immediately withdrew after calling for heavy fire support.

We should make effective use of the few elite snipers in our army and go to all areas to snipe the enemy.

Using powerful firepower to replace the original sea of people tactics can effectively reduce the casualties of our army. "

I said a lot of things before I knew it. When I saw that whether it was trekov, weinrub, kirilov or bantailev, they all took out their notebooks and carefully recorded what I had just said, knowing that they were talking about their heart, I couldn't help but feel complacent.

"Yes, that's very good." After a compliment, trakov asked, "anything else?"

"I think that the initiative of the front-line commanders should be strengthened. In addition to fierce positional warfare in some key areas, our troops should break up into parts and fight with small organizational systems, which can improve the efficiency and survival rate of the troops."

After writing down what I said in the book, trikov raised his head and said to Wei yinlubu, "Comrade commander, the experience of Comrade o'shanina is very valuable. In the future, he is trying to find a way to come in and vigorously promote it in the army."

They sat here again for a long time, and almost emptied out all the theoretical instructions in my stomach. Then trekov stood up and said with satisfaction, "Comrade oshanina, it seems that we have not come to you in vain today. We not only got the good news of the success of Karpov camp, but also learned a lot of new theories of urban warfare from you. It's worth the trip. " After that, he raised his hand to look at his watch and said to me, "it's getting late. I have something else to do in the headquarters, so I won't stay here any longer. I wish you good luck Then he reached out his hand to me, shook it and released it. He shook hands with the other three division leaders one by one and then turned away.

After trakov left, bantaileiev looked at me with adoring eyes and said excitedly, "Sir, I really admire you. I didn't expect you to have so much experience on how to carry out urban warfare. It's no big deal, but after careful consideration, I find that your theory is really suitable for the current battlefield situation. "

"Mr. division," said akhromeyev after bantailiev finished, "since you have a complete set of theories on how to conduct urban warfare, what about us here? How can we better attack the enemy here? "

As soon as akhromeyev opened his mouth, I suddenly thought of the position they had abandoned in shereblenny and asked him, "by the way, comrade chief of staff, I just forgot to ask you, Captain shereblenny. After they withdrew from the position, did the enemy enter the position?"

Akhromeyev nodded and said with certainty, "yes, Captain shereblenny. Shortly after their withdrawal, the German troops came from the north and West and recaptured the front position. According to the second regiment observation post, the enemy is building new fortifications and laying minefields. "
