Before safchenko and Nikolay showed up, two unexpected people came to the headquarters. When I saw the two of them appear at the door, I thought I was dazed. I closed my eyes and reopened them. I couldn't be sure if I was wrong when I asked, so I hesitated when I asked: "Captain crimov, sidtorin, is that you?"

The captain, who was called by me, answered me with a smile on his face and said, "Hello, comrade division. I didn't expect that we would meet again here."

As soon as the words came to an end, the short soldier next to him pounced on me, put his arms around my waist and cried sweetly, "sister Rita, we meet again."

Looking at crimov standing straight in front of me, I asked with concern, "Comrade captain, when did you come back? Have you recovered from your injuries?"

Klimov nodded with a smile and said, "I came back last night, and my wounds have healed. Then I can pick up my gun and continue to fight with the enemy." At this point, he turned his eyes to sidtorin, who was holding me in his arms, and added: "after my military hospital on the east bank, the commander specially sent sidtorin to take care of me. Staying with me in the hospital for such a long time can suffocate the little guy. When he heard that the doctor agreed to let me leave the hospital, he couldn't wait to pack up and wait for the day to meet the army with me. "

After a simple greeting, I turned to kirilov and bandeleev and said, "you don't know them yet. Let me introduce them to you. This is captain Klimov, the adjutant of commander trakov. And this is the commander's messenger. "

"Hello, Captain kerimov." Kirilov first went up to shake hands with Klimov and explained, "I heard the commander mention you, but he said that you were sent to the hospital because you were injured, so you didn't come with him to the 62nd army."

When kirilov took sidtorin's hand, I thought he didn't know sidtorin and was about to introduce him to another identity of sidtorin. Unexpectedly, he said to several other people first: "you don't know, this little guy's father was the combat director of the 64th army. He died in August at the Don ferry. After his death, little sidtorin and several soldiers recovered his father's body from the ferry and buried it in the martyr's cemetery. Then the 16-year-old boy became trakov's messenger. "

After listening to kirilov's introduction, bantailiev and akhromeyev also came forward one after another to shake hands with sidorin. At the same time, they patted him on the shoulder and said a few words of comfort. I took advantage of the opportunity of their greeting to call crimov aside, because the two of them suddenly appeared in my headquarters. They certainly didn't come to visit. They must have more important tasks. So I didn't beat around the Bush and asked frankly, "Comrade captain, did the commander send you to deliver the letter?"

Crimov, with a smile on his face, nodded his head. Then he took out a paper bag from his briefcase and handed it to me. At the same time, he said, "this is the latest order given to you by the commander. Originally, he wanted to inform you by phone, but because the fault of the telephone line has not been eliminated, he is afraid of divulging secrets by radio communication, So I'm going to send you the order with sidtorin and me

Instead of opening it immediately, I asked, "Comrade captain, do you know the contents of the order?"

Crimov nodded his head and admitted that he was afraid of my misunderstanding. He quickly explained: "Comrade division, you know that the situation in the city is very chaotic. Some areas are repeatedly contested by the enemy and us. No one can tell whether the garrison is our own or German when we pass there. So the commander authorized me to destroy the orders I had with me in case of emergency. He specially asked me to read the order once. He wanted me to tell you the contents of the order after destroying it. "

After listening to his explanation, I nodded. Then I waved to basmanov and told him, "Comrade captain, take captain Klimov and sidorin to have a rest and prepare some food for them."

Seeing basmanov leave with kerimov and sidorin, Karpov seems to be at a loss. Looking at his uncomfortable appearance, I waved to him and said, "Comrade captain, you should go out first. I'll send someone to call you when they come."

When there were only a few division level commanders left in the headquarters, as well as two radio operators, razumeyeva and Najia, I opened the file bag, took out the latest order of trakov from it, and said to kirilov, "Comrade political commissar, have a look, this is the latest order given to us by the commander!"

Kirilov quickly took the document in my hand and read it at a glance. However, it took Rao four or five minutes to read the order. After reading the document, he put down his hand and said thoughtfully, "I now understand why several German divisions confronting us have lost sight. It turns out that they were attracted by the Don front army."

"Don front army?" Bantaileiev repeated this strange number and asked tentatively, "is it the army under the command of general rokosovsky?"

"Comrade deputy division commander, your guess is absolutely correct. What I said is the Don front army under the command of general rokosovsky." Kirilov said with certainty, and then he knocked the papers on the table with his fingers, and began to talk on and on: "the formation of the Don front army under the command of general rokosovsky includes: the 63rd army under the command of general Kuznetsov, which occupies an area of 200 kilometers long on the north bank of the Don River and controls a small landing site in Mamun area on the South Bank of the Don river; The 21st army, under the command of general Danilov, was stationed in a 150 kilometer long section on the North Bank of the Don river, and there was a small landing site in the areas of yelanskaya, dosti hobelskaya and shirafimovich on the south bank; The fourth group of tanks, under the command of general klujoaquin, occupied the North Bank of the Don River and the 30 kilometer long section between the Volga River and the Don river; The 24th army, under the command of general garanin, guards a 50 kilometer section between the two rivers; The 66th army, under the command of Malinowski, occupies a 20 kilometer long section between the two rivers, with its left flanked by the Volga River.

In this way, the two group armies occupied the defensive positions of the broad front along the river, and the three group armies took active actions in the middle of the two rivers, threatening the German army group that went out to Volga River. The 24th and 66th army groups between the two rivers also engaged in white hot fighting. As soon as the enemy tried to exert pressure on the defenders of Stalingrad, their forces turned to attack to relieve the pressure on the 62nd and 64th army groups defending in the city. In this way, general rokosovsky's forces attracted most of the enemy's forces to the past, forcing the enemy to keep its main army groups between the two rivers. Hitler's headquarters was afraid that our army would attack the rear of the troops fighting with our Stalingrad front army. A large number of German troops were assembled in the area between the Don River and Volga River.

The troops of the front army of the Don River stick to two landing sites on the South Bank of the Don river, which is of great significance to us. More than once, the enemy tried to squeeze our troops out of the landing site, so the intensity of the fighting in this area was no worse than that in Stalingrad.

In view of the current difficult situation of the 62nd army, the headquarters ordered general rokosovsky to launch an offensive campaign in October, in which two units of the front army participated. From the landing site of Don river, the army of Don river carried out active actions to restrain the enemy, making it impossible for them to send reinforcements to Stalingrad. At the same time, the 24th group army of the front army, with its left wing and the 66th group army, defeated the enemy in the north of Stalingrad city and joined our group army. "

After kirilov's words, the task is clear. The order given to us by trakov was to launch an attack on the enemy in the front of mamayev post, so as to realize the purpose of joining forces with the Don river front army going south.

After listening to kirilov's instructions, bantailiev and akhromeyev sat in silence, as if they were thinking about how to complete the tasks assigned to us by their superiors. I looked at kirilov and asked, "Comrade commissar, when will the attack of general rokosovsky begin?"

Kirilov picked up the document again, looked at it, and then answered me, "the battle started at 6 a.m. on October 21, that is to say, we only have three days to prepare."

Hearing the launch time of the campaign, akhromeyev was surprised and said, "what, time is so tight that we are only given three days? We have to know that the total strength of our three regiments now is 3000, and they are not reinforced by tanks and artillery. If we put all these forces into counterattack, once they are entangled by the enemy, the mamayev post will be in danger. "

Seeing akhromeyev's face in confusion, I quickly comforted him and said, "Comrade chief of staff, don't be nervous. Although time is running short, this counterattack is not without the possibility of success." Seeing not only him, but also kirilov and bantaileiev's faces, I went on to say, "according to our reconnaissance of enemy positions last night and the fact that safchenko instigated Nikolay's East camp and successfully brought the commanders and fighters back to the defense area, the three divisions that originally confronted us, At the moment, he has been transferred to the direction of Don river, ready to intercept the army of Don river going south. At present, we are facing defensive zones temporarily abandoned by the Germans. Once we launch an attack, we can easily cross these zones and get as close as possible to the southward troops of the friendly forces. "

Suddenly receiving an order to let us enter the counter offensive not only gave akhromeyev a headache, but also deputy division commander bantailiev an emotion: "to carry out such a large-scale counterattack against the enemy, a large number of troops is essential. However, judging from the current situation, there are only 3000 members in our three regiments. Even if all of them are put in, they will not be able to make much waves in such a large area. If our superiors do not replenish our forces and weapons, the victory rate of this battle will not be high. "

When kirilov heard this, he quickly raised his hand to stop Bantai leiev's complaint: "Comrade deputy division commander, it's impossible to ask the superior to supply us with soldiers and weapons, because the main force of the group army is tied down by the enemy in the factory area. The only thing we can do now is to call the commander and ask for the return of the regiment. In this way, we will have more troops to fight back. "

When I heard kirilov say this, I laughed bitterly in my heart and said, "what time is it? Do you want a regiment back? If the position of mamayev post is not important, it is estimated that trakov would like to put our entire independent division into the battle in the factory area. " However, in order not to dampen kirilov's interest, I intend to follow his words and say: "well, comrade political commissar, since you think it is more conducive for us to complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors to transfer the regiment back, then you should negotiate with the headquarters of the group army on behalf of the independent division." Kirilov saw that I agreed with his suggestion, immediately stood up, quickly walked to razumeyeva's side, and told her: "Comrade lieutenant, get in touch with the headquarters of the group army immediately, saying that there is important intelligence to report." While kirilov was in contact with the headquarters, akhromeyev picked up the document on the desk and read it carefully. I also wanted to see what was said in trakov's order. Seeing that akhromeyev had the document in his hand, I didn't insist on it any more. I could only turn around and look at kirilov who was talking with the comrades in the headquarters“ Trekov's fight? " Kirilov put down his headphones and transmitter, walked back to the table and sighed softly“ You know, the 3000 commanders and fighters of a regiment are not weak. It's no problem to fight against the German army on the mamayev post for a week. But as soon as it was transferred to the factory area, it was almost finished in less than two days. At present, there are only a few battalion commanders and seventy-eight soldiers left in the regiment, half of whom are seriously wounded. " I know very well in my heart that the fate of the tractor factory's failure has long been predestined by the crazy bombing and long-range artillery attack of the German army. The addition of the headquarters of shijerikov only delayed the failure for a day or two. In order not to affect everyone's mood, I just smile, no succession. Bantai leiev shivered when he heard the bad news. He asked nervously, "so, can't you count on a regiment? So what should we do about the counterattack in three days? "“ Comrade deputy division commander, you don't have to worry about the soldiers. " Akhromeyev, who had been looking at the documents, suddenly said, "although the regiment has run out, there are still Dongfang camp and 1000 or 2000 officers and men rescued from the prison camp."（ My novel burning Moscow will have more fresh content on the official wechat platform.
