Chapter 755

When Yeliao Menko said this, he suddenly stopped. I was wondering why he didn't say it, but I heard his voice of complaint and ridicule: "Hey, I said Comrade oshanina, even if I'm not your boss and your guest, why don't you pour me a glass of water?"

Although yelimenko said this in a joking tone, it still made me feel embarrassed. I turned to kirilov and bantailiev, who were next to me, and they were thinking about who should trouble him to pour a cup of tea for the commander. Akhromeyev had said in advance: "Comrade commander, please wait a moment, I'll pour tea for you."

After akhromeyev's back disappeared at the door, yelimenko began to say: "thirdly, commanders should know how to investigate. We should always have a clear idea of the enemy's situation, the terrain, the situation of the troops and the social situation. We should touch and ponder every day without interruption. This can not be regarded as repetition. In fact, it is not repetition, but a process of continuous deepening and improvement. It is an indispensable means to get a correct understanding. The more information accumulated and mastered in peacetime, the more systematic it is. In wartime, especially in tense and complex situations, the more calm and effective it is. Therefore, investigation and research work should be carried out in all kinds of work and in the whole process of every campaign and battle. We are opposed to fighting reckless and muddleheaded battles. In particular, we must find out the enemy's situation. Because the enemy's situation is alive, the enemy will try to conceal and disguise their real intentions and actions. We should do all we can to continuously conduct reconnaissance, find out the enemy's deployment and movements, and see what role he plays? Is it the main force or the non main force? Is it arrogant or defeated? How many troops can be concentrated to attack us and block our attack. Understand the characteristics of the enemy's chief military officer, see what tactics he is used to and good at, judge what tactics he may adopt according to his current attempt, and so on. As long as we have a clear understanding of the enemy's situation, our situation and the terrain, our determination will be quick, firm and firm. You will not be confused by any illusion, and you will not be frightened by any difficulties. If the situation is not clear, you will be hesitant, hesitant, miss a good opportunity, or reluctantly make up your mind. Once the wind blows, you will be easily shaken by the fear of hardship and incorrect suggestions, and you may lose all your previous achievements. At this point, you should understand why my name is trakov. The situation there is very dangerous, and you still have to go to the most dangerous defensive area to inspect, right

I quickly nodded in agreement with yelimenko's statement. As I was about to say something, akhromeyev, who went out to serve tea, came in with an enamel teapot. He went to the table, carefully placed the teapot in front of yeliaomenko, and then said respectfully, "Comrade commander, please have tea."

Yelimenko nodded to akhromeyev, expressed his gratitude, took a sip from the teapot, and then said to me, "fourth, an excellent commander needs to be a living map. Commanders and staff officers must be familiar with maps and read them frequently. Reading maps well can produce opinions, wisdom, methods and confidence. The way to read is to hang up the map, move a stool, sit down and look at the map. From the general direction to the active area, from the overall view of the area to the topographic features of each section, from rough reading to close reading, read the map piece by piece. Use red and blue pencils to mark out the main mountains, rivers, towns, villages and roads. Read and draw while you read until the map is almost rotten, I've almost memorized the map. On the basis of being familiar with the map, we should personally organize relevant commanders and staff officers to carry out on-the-spot investigation of the combat area and battlefield, verify the map, and put the terrain of the battlefield and the deployment of forces of both sides into our minds, so that when we close our eyes, we will have a bright battlefield map in front of us, and even if we leave the map, we can command the operation. In this way, in a life and death battle, we can come faster than the enemy, fight for the first chance, take the initiative and win the battle with certainty. "

When I heard Yeliao Menko say the fourth point, I could not help blushing slightly. You know, being unfamiliar with the military map has always been my weakness. After a few months in Stalingrad, I was completely unfamiliar with the rest of the area except for the relatively familiar terrain near mamayev post.

Yelomienko looked up at akhromeyev, who was standing in front of us and never left, and said with a friendly smile, "Comrade major, if I remember correctly, you should be the chief of staff of the independent division?" Seeing that akhromeyev nodded and approved, he quickly pointed to the position beside him, "you can also sit down and listen. Only by mastering these skills can you better cooperate with Comrade oshanina in commanding the battle."

After akhromeyev sat down next to him honestly, he went on to say: "fifth, when making a combat plan, we should think through all aspects of problems. In every campaign or battle, we should ask people to ask all kinds of questions that may arise. We should ask people to find answers, and we should find answers from the worst and most serious situations. We have answered all the questions raised, and there are no more unanswered questions. Only in this way can we fight without making big mistakes, and if we make mistakes, it will be easier to correct them. A question that has not been answered should not be left unsolved just because it hasn't been thought out for a long time. If this is very dangerous, at a critical moment, this small problem is likely to emerge, which will make your plan deviate. Of course, in a war environment, there are many questions to consider. It is impossible to ask them all at once or answer them all at once. The whole process of a campaign and battle is a process of constantly asking and answering questions. In a word, we should not be vague about every issue. Only when the questions are answered can the organization of campaigns and battles be considered complete.

Sixth, commanders should be able to make decisions in a timely manner. Under what circumstances can we make up our mind to fight? The commander must make a good campaign plan with his best effort. In addition, we should do a good job in preparing for campaigns and battles, and strive to do it only when we are sure of it, instead of fighting a battle that we are not sure of. However, it is impossible for any battle to meet all kinds of conditions and be 100% sure. Generally speaking, it's very good to have a 70% confidence. We should fight resolutely and let go. For example, the German attack on Stalingrad caught us unprepared. In this case, what should we do? Should we let the enemy march in or organize a continuous fight to slow down the German army's advance towards Stalingrad, so that we can fight for more time to improve the city's defense. Therefore, in the case of insufficient conditions, we should make up for it by giving full play to the role of human factors, giving full play to the unique political advantages of our Red Army, giving full play to the wisdom and brave and indomitable fighting style of our commanders and fighters, creating conditions with subjective efforts, turning risk-taking into creativity and winning. "

Kirilov and bantaileiev, after they finished their work, saw that yelomienko was still imparting to me the experience he had summed up in the army for decades. They also gathered around and stood around curiously. When he saw the acquaintances around him, he would not let them stand. He said to them: "don't stand, everyone. Sit down and listen."

"The seventh point is to have a good and United team. The leading group should be consistent in thinking and understanding, coordinated in action, vigorous and resolute, and have the spirit of revolutionary heroism. All commanders should be diligent and try their best to do their duty well and complete the task. No bickering, no interference, no bystander attitude. If the leading group is not good, a large number of people is not only useless, but harmful. " At this point, yelomienko looked around and said with great interest: "Comrade oshanina, although the independent division has not been established for a long time, it is estimated that you have a very united leading group that can form combat effectiveness so quickly."

I can't help looking up at kirilov's partners, who are also looking at me. After meeting my eyes, they all gave me a sincere smile. It seems that they have the same feeling for this kind of saying.

"Eighth, the army should have a good fighting style. Only troops with a good fighting style can fight well and win. First of all, a good fighting style is the spirit of not complaining, rushing to shoulder the most arduous tasks, being able to itch in battle, being brave and indomitable, and not afraid of sacrifice. As our fight against the Communist aggressors is long and arduous, we can not relax after one or two battles. It is necessary for the soldiers to display their fearless spirit of not being afraid of fatigue and deal with the enemy to the end. A good fighting style should be cultivated in peacetime, trained in practice, and trained in intense and cruel battles. Dare not fight a hard battle, evil battle of the army, let him fight a few times to fight out, because he has seen the hard battle, evil battle scene, with experience, with experience, know how to fight.. The key to the formation of a good style of work lies in the commander. The style of a good commander will be the style of the army. Therefore, first of all, we should do a good job in the training of commanders, as long as the commanders make appearances to influence and drive the troops they command. As long as the commanders have a good style of work, command battles well, and win more battles, even the newly-built units or the units with a weak foundation will soon have a good style of work, like hammers. If they hit there, they will be broken. The reason why your independent division can turn a newly formed unit without any combat effectiveness into a hundred battle lion in a short time or two may be related to what I have said. "

Seeing that everyone nodded his approval, he took another sip of tea and then went on to say, "the ninth and most important point is to pay attention to Zhengzhi and do a good job of Zhengzhi himself. The improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army depends on the strong leadership of the party and strong political work at ordinary times. I think your commander trakov and military commissar gurov have considered this very carefully. They even sent kirilov, director of the Zhengzhi Department of the group army, to the division as political commissar. The political workers at all levels in the division must do their work well, so that they can drum up the revolutionary vigor of all members of the party and League, give full play to their exemplary and leading role, drive the whole division through them, do political work through them, and raise the class consciousness of all the commanders. Therefore, in addition to military training, the party and government work in the division should be done well, so that your troops can always maintain strong combat effectiveness. "

After imparting his experience, Yeliao Menko raised his hand, looked at his watch and said in a flat tone: "Comrade oshanina, I have finished all the things I can teach you. As for whether you can understand well or not, it depends on your personal understanding. Well, it's getting late. I have to get to trakov. " With that, he grabbed his cane and stood up with difficulty.

Seeing that Yeliao Menko had all stood up, it was impossible for us to sit still, so we also stood up one after another. Kirilov also politely advised yelimenko: "Comrade commander, do you really want to go now? You know, it's not dark yet. You may encounter enemy bombing and shelling on the road, or even with sporadic small enemy troops. It's too dangerous for you. You'd better wait until it's dark before you go

Unexpectedly, yeliaomenko waved his hand and obstinately said, "no, I want to see trakov as soon as possible, otherwise I will not be at ease." At this point, he looked at me and said, "Comrade oshanina, you don't have to go with me. Just send me a guide who knows the way. Your main task at present is to guard the mamayev post well. I don't know if the enemy is afraid of being attacked by your division. According to the intercepted telegrams, the enemy will not regard it as a necessary target in the near future. " Since yeliaomenko did not allow me to accompany him to the headquarters of the group army, I did not reluctantly call basmanov and told him: "Comrade captain, I will give you the task of being a guide to the comrades of the commander of the front army. You should immediately transfer a platoon and escort the commander to the headquarters of the group army. " Basmanov agreed in a loud voice, then turned his eyes to yelimenko, who was shaking hands with kirilov, waiting for his further orders. After yelimenko left, akhromeyev excitedly said to me, "Comrade division commander, I didn't expect that the theoretical level of the commander of the front army was so high and he knew so much." Hearing akhromeyev's words, bandeleyev suddenly coughed heavily, then muttered in a low voice: "I seem to have heard someone say that in the advanced training class for senior commanders, comrade yelimenko is the most stubborn. Through rare efforts, he has mastered the extensive and rich knowledge stipulated in the syllabus."
