Now that our offensive troops have climbed to the high ground from three directions, all that remains to be done is to clear up the remnant enemy. I have no interest in continuing to look at it. So I put down my telescope, turned around and asked Bantai leiev, "Comrade deputy division commander, the battle is coming to an end soon. Shall we go back to the headquarters?"

At my words, leiev, who was looking at Bantai with great interest, moved his telescope away from his eyes in surprise and asked me strangely, "Sir, why do you want to leave now? You know, the battle on the Highlands is not over yet. "

I waved my hand and said with disapproval, "the remaining enemies on the Highlands can't make any difference. We'd better hurry back to the headquarters. Maybe there are still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with there."

I would have said that casually, but when I got back to the headquarters, I found a lot of people inside. In addition to kirilov and akhromeyev, there are shejerikov, deputy commander Ilya, Captain shereblenne, commander of the second battalion, Captain grakov, commander of the Third Battalion, and several captains I can't name.

I was shocked to see so many people crowded in the headquarters, but I soon recovered and understood that the group army headquarters had agreed to our request and let the regiment return. Looking at the commanders with their backs to me and full of gunpowder, my nose can't help but feel sour. I thought that if I didn't strongly ask them to come back, maybe tomorrow, or even tonight, they would give their precious lives to defend this great city like a group of 3000 soldiers. Although I feel sorry for the sacrifice of the commanders and fighters, I feel a little lucky to see that so many commanders of the regiment have survived.

"Sergeant Sergeant kirikov!" After I raised my voice and called, I quickly walked to the other side. Those commanders who had turned their back to me heard my voice, turned around and gave way to both sides, and raised their hands to salute me. I came to shejerikov, raised my hand, grabbed his arm, shook it hard, and said excitedly, "I'm very happy, I'm really happy. I'm glad to see you and your commanders standing in front of me alive. "

"Comrade teacher." After calling me, he didn't say no more. The corners of his mouth were twitching violently. It seemed that his language ability was affected by his emotion. I didn't urge him. I just watched him quietly, waiting for him to recover as soon as possible.

After a short time, he continued to speak. At this time, his tone became calm and clear: "I'm sorry, comrade division. It's me who's bad. I've finished all the troops."

In order not to burden him with thoughts, I comforted him and said, "Comrade xijerikov, don't blame yourself. I can see very clearly what the situation is like in the factory area. Due to the long-term fighting, the fortifications there have long been damaged in the bombardment of German planes and cannons. It's a great thing that you can persist for two days and wipe out the same number of enemies as yourself. " Speaking of this, I turned to look at the commanders standing behind me and said in a loud voice: "Comrade commander, although the regiment has been completely destroyed in the two days of fighting, please don't worry. As long as the commanders of the regiment are still there, we will supplement you as soon as possible. I believe that under your leadership, this unit will soon form combat effectiveness and become the main force of our division. "

My words immediately aroused the cheers of the commanders, and all the people in the room were shouting "Wula! Wula The cry was so intense that the sadness and depression brought about by the loss of the troops were all gone in the cheers.

Finally, when the room was quiet, I said to the commanders, "well, comrades, you are tired for a few days. Let's go out and find a place to rest. I have something else to talk to your commander."

When the commanders of the first regiment left one after another, kirilov immediately asked me, "Comrade oshanina, what's the situation with the attack on Highland 107.5? Has the position been taken?"

Although the battle on the Highlands was not over before bantailiev and I left, I thought our army was sure to win this small battle, so I replied confidently, "yes, comrade political commissar, although there are still some sporadic resistance on the Highlands, it can no longer pose any threat to us."

After listening to what I said, Bantai leiev quickly walked towards me, stood beside me and said in a low voice, "don't be so sure, sir. After all, when we left, the battle continued. Although the sky of victory has fallen to our side, no one can predict what will happen on the battlefield, and it is impossible to say what will happen. "

I gave him a smile, just want to comfort him, the phone on the desk rang in time. Akhromeyev raised his hand, grabbed the microphone and said in a loud voice, "I'm akhromeyev, chief of staff. Where are you?"

After listening for a few words, he covered the phone with his hand and asked for instructions: "Comrade division, the phone is from verol, political commissar of the second regiment. She reported that the highland has been completely occupied by our army. Next, what about the captured prisoners, and which army should defend the Highlands? "

"Political commissar, deputy division commander, which army do you think is more suitable to hold high ground?" Instead of making a direct statement, I asked kirilov and bandeleev.

When kirilov heard my question, he didn't answer it immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the Bantai. Leiev asked, "Hey, old man, you have a better say than me in military affairs. Which army do you think should be left to hold high 10.5?"

"Judging from the performance in the battle just now, the most effective are the horushaw battalion of the second regiment and the company of captain grizenko." Bantailiev said solemnly: "but grizenko's troops have just come here. It's hard to rest assured to let them guard a highland independently. I think it's better for camp horushoff to guard the highlands. "

"Well, do as you say." After I had said this, I went on to command akhromeyev: "Comrade chief of staff, please tell political commissar verol that the first battalion of horushov will be assigned to guard the 107.5 highland. In addition, in order to strengthen the leadership of the battalion, let major Yaming, deputy head of the battalion, also go to the highlands. "

Akhromeyev was stunned when he heard this inexplicable order from me. Instead of releasing his hand to cover the microphone, he asked in a strange way: "Comrade division, I think captain horushov is fully competent, so there is no need to send other commanders?"

Seeing that akhromeyev didn't carry out my order readily, I said with some dissatisfaction, "first pass on my words to political commissar verol. As for the reasons, I'll tell you later."

Seeing that I had a sign of anger, akhromeyev had to nod his head and reluctantly conveyed my order to verol: "verol political commissar, division commander's order: 107.5 highland will be taken over by the first battalion of captain horushov. In order to strengthen the command of highland, let the deputy commander, major Yaming, also go to the highland." After delivering the order, he changed his tone and asked veroll kindly, "Comrade veroll, please take the time to count the results and report them to me immediately."

As soon as akhromeyev put down the phone, kirilov couldn't wait to ask me, "Comrade oshanina, why did you send Yamin to highland 107.5? If there are two commanders in a position, the soldiers below don't know who to listen to when fighting. "

It seems that kirilov and akhromeyev do not know about the contradictions between the leaders of the second regiment. So I can only explain to them simply: "political commissar and chief of staff, after my observation, I find that major Yaming is actually a good commander. However, because of his sensitive identity, the leaders of the second regiment always guard against him. I put him on the 107.5 high ground in the hope that he can make more contributions and change other people's impression of him in the next cruel battle. "

After hearing my very far fetched reason, kirilov and his colleagues suddenly nodded and agreed with my analysis. Then kirilov asked me, "since we have recovered 107.5 Highlands, should we immediately report this good news to the group army command?"

"It's natural, comrade political commissar. However, in order to prevent leakage, I think you should report to the higher authorities in written form. Anyway, the adjutant and messenger of the commander are still with us. Let them take the report back. " After kirilov and I finished, we turned to Bantai leiev and said, "Comrade deputy division commander, you have seen the fighting process just now, so please write a detailed report and send it to the headquarters together later."

After giving an account of the outcome report, I bowed my head to think about it, and then told akhromeyev: "chief of staff, call major gordonov, the third commander, and say that I will go to him with lieutenant commander shejerikov later, and ask him to gather all the commanders from the prison camp, and I will meet them later."

Looking at the akhromeyev who got my order on the phone, shijerikov asked curiously, "Comrade division, what's the commander from the prison camp? What are you talking about? I'm confused. "

"Well, comrade chejerikov." Bantaileiev, who was preparing his pen and paper, raised his head and explained to shijerikov, "you have been in the factory area these two days. You don't know about the situation in mamayev post. When Comrade safchenko went on a reconnaissance mission last night, he conspired against a unit of the eastern battalion and rescued all the officers and men of our army from the prison camp under the custody of the battalion. "

"Oh, so it is." After listening to Bantai leiev's explanation, xiejerikov turned to look at me and asked in a flattering tone, "Comrade division commander, do you want me to accompany you to the third regiment defense area? Do you want to supplement these rescued commanders and fighters to our regiment?"

"All for your regiment?" I saw him with a lion's big mouth expression. After rolling a white eye at him, I retorted discontentedly: "if I give you all these 1000 commanders and fighters, then the other three regiment leaders will not come to my headquarters to make trouble?" Then he patted him on the shoulder and said in a loud voice, "OK, don't stand here foolishly, come with me quickly."

As soon as I walked out of the headquarters, I found captain Nikolay pacing outside. From his frown, I guessed that he was worried about the tank company and grizenko's infantry company. Seeing this, I quickly yelled at him, "Captain Nikolay, come to me."

Shejerikov saw captain Nikolay coming towards us, raised his eyebrows, and then asked warily, "Comrade division, is this the commander of the eastern battalion who has just been rebelled?"

I nodded and said with admiration, "Comrade commander, it's not easy to guess the identity of Captain Nikolay at a glance."

Xiejerikov chuckled and explained to me: "Comrade teacher, I didn't guess it, I saw it." As he said that, his chin raised forward. "We don't have our uniform on us, but we still have German helmets on us."

After captain Nikolay came up to us and raised his hand to salute us, I first introduced him and chejerikov to each other, and then asked, "what's on your mind, comrade captain? I think you've been walking around here all the time, as if you're not at ease. "

Nikolay replied with a wry smile, "don't you know what I'm worried about, sir? I've heard that the opposite highland has been captured by us, but Captain grizenko's troops haven't come back yet. I'm worried about them. "

"Captain grizenko's troops are not seriously injured. The battle is over. They will be back soon. Don't worry too much." Then I waved my head to him and said, "come on, comrade captain, come with us to the third regiment and visit the officers and men who were rescued by you."

On the way, from time to time, shejerikov looked back at Nikolay who was following us. After I noticed his little action, I said to him in a low voice: "Comrade commander, I plan to incorporate his troops into your regiment. If you have any questions, you can ask directly. Don't make trouble for him when he arrives at your regiment. I won't help you then. "

With my permission, shejerikov slowed down and slowly approached Nikolay. As they were walking side by side, I heard sergeikov asking, "Captain Nikolay, I want to ask you a question."

Nikolay did not expect that xiejerikov would suddenly speak to himself. He was flustered for a moment. Then he tried to keep calm and said, "excuse me, comrade commander, as long as I can answer, I will give you an accurate answer."

"First of all, I want to ask you, comrade captain," he asked in the same tone as usual, "which army were you in before you were captured?"

"Report as required?" Instead of answering the question immediately, Nikolay asked a question that seemed to be out of the question.

"Yes," replied chejerikov positively, "it's the answer according to the regulations."

"Report, commander," Nikolay replied respectfully, "before I was captured, I was a subordinate of general Petrovsky, commander of the 63rd infantry army. When the army was breaking through the encirclement, several soldiers and I lost contact with the large army because of carrying the general's body. As a result, I fell into the encirclement of the Germans and was unfortunately captured."

When Nikolay talked about general Petrovsky, the expression on his face softened. He then asked, "since you are a subordinate of general Petrovsky, why did you join the German side?" Xiejerikov's question is exactly what I want to know. I also slowed down and tried to listen to Nikolay's answer.

Nikolay sighed first, and then said, "Comrade commander, if I say that I was forced to join the German side because I was afraid of death, do you believe it?"

"I believe it." "I talked to captain Karpov once, and he told me frankly that the Germans called all the prisoners of war together and announced in public that those who were willing to join the German auxiliary forces would be free immediately, or they would all be shot," shejerikov said unexpectedly

"Captain Karpov is right. I joined the East camp under the same circumstances." Nikolay showed a painful expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I still remember that day when the Germans called all the people in the prison camp to the open field, more than 2000 prisoners of war stood in a neat square array of hundreds. A Russian speaking German officer brought several German soldiers to a square and asked aloud if anyone would like to join them. Those who would like to join would come out.

In front of the first phalanx, he yelled several times, but all the prisoners dressed in prisoners lowered their heads and ignored him. When the German officer saw that no one responded to him, he got angry and turned to the soldiers behind him and yelled a few words. With his cry, the soldiers rushed into the line, caught the soldiers in the first row of the square, and ordered them to lie face down. When the soldiers lie down at their command, they shoot them in the back of the head. Then he rushed into the team again, caught the soldiers in the second row, let them lie on the dead, and then shot.

There are not only male prisoners but also many female prisoners in the camp. We all think that the Germans are cruel to the male prisoners of war, but they may be lenient to the female prisoners of war. Unexpectedly, even the female prisoners of war are not spared by them. They still take them out of the queue and let them lie on the ground. When the female prisoners of war lie on the ground, they shoot at the back of the woman's head without hesitation, just like killing the male prisoners of war. "

Hearing Nikolay talking about female prisoners of war, I couldn't help thinking about it. I thought I had been captured in liuban at the beginning. If I had not happened to meet captain Thomas, I would have been shot by the German like other captured commanders. Thinking of this, my hand trembled slightly with excitement. If a German appeared in front of me at the moment, maybe I would jump forward and strangle him directly.

"... there are a lot of female prisoners and a lot of male prisoners. The Krauts, according to their morality, think that men and women can't be mixed up because it's too unorthodox. Moreover, when they slaughtered prisoners of war, they strictly observed the time. Every half an hour, these German men who were exhausted by killing would come to the shady place beside the wall of the prison camp, eat and drink, so that they could have enough physical strength to continue to kill. At that time, I was shocked: Why did my comrades in arms choose to lie down and wait to die? Is it because of their suffering that they are exhausted, or because they are abandoned by their motherland and hope to end their suffering earlier? Once again, innocent people are waiting for death, while people on the other side are eating and drinking as if there were no one else... "Nikolay's experience made sjerikov hiss, so his tone became more friendly:" so when the Germans asked about you, you chose to join them? "“ Yes, comrade commander Nikolay continued: "when asked about the ninth phalanx, the prisoners of war were frightened by the massacre in front of them, but when they heard the questions from the German officers, immediately a man bravely stepped out of the queue and asked to join the German army. One person took the lead, and the others, who had been shaken for a long time, were even more unable to stand up and came out one after another. The German officer asked several soldiers to take the prisoners to one side, and then killed all the remaining prisoners in the square.
