After finishing the battle summary, Bantai leiev got up and went to the telegraph operator, gave him the written report, and ordered: "Comrade telegraph operator, send this report back to the division headquarters immediately, and ask political commissar kirilov to report what happened here, such as to the leaders of the group army on the spot."

When the operator began to send out the message, bantailiev came back to me, looked at shejerikov standing at the table, and said to me excitedly, "Comrade division commander, today, lieutenant commander shejerikov and his armored forces have done a good job. They have defeated the enemy so easily." It's hard for bantaileiev to praise anyone in front of me when he has been in the independent division for such a long time. His evaluation of xiejerikov shows that he is very satisfied with the result of this battle.

I also praised with a smile: "yes, a commander like lieutenant colonel chejerikov, as long as he is assigned the task, he will be able to complete it successfully."

"Comrade teacher, I have an idea!" Bantaileiev obviously said: "since the four battles we have carried out in the past two days have achieved good results, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue them directly behind the German troops who are blocking the southward movement of the Don front army and give them a hard beating. Maybe in this way, the situation will be completely reversed, and we will be able to join the friendly forces in the shortest time. "

After listening to Bantai leiev's words, I almost fell to the ground. Holding the table with both hands, I tried to keep myself calm: "Comrade deputy division commander, although we have achieved certain results in these two days' fighting, you should also see the casualties of the troops. The four battalions participating in the fighting have been reduced by nearly one third."

"But after the successive victories, the morale of the commanders and fighters is booming." Bantai leiev seemed unwilling to give up this tempting idea and tried to persuade me: "if we use tanks and armored vehicles as the forerunners, trucks full of commanders and fighters behind, and attack the rear of the enemy's defensive positions, I believe we can achieve unexpected results."

The unexpected result is the total annihilation of the shock troops, I thought indignantly. Because I didn't want to argue with Bantai leiev about this, I said to him very tactfully, "Comrade Deputy teacher, your suggestion is reasonable. If we are the whole independent division here, with the reinforcement of tanks and artillery, and the cooperation of Air Force fighters, we can really achieve unexpected results in carrying out raids on the enemy's rear. "

As soon as my words came out, bandeleev recognized the meaning of my words. After pondering for a moment, he said in a calm voice: "Sir, I believe you have your ideas against my proposal. Can you tell me something about your use? "

Seeing that Bantai leiev was so reasonable, I did not hide my true thoughts and said to him frankly: "Comrade deputy division commander, with the number of tanks, armored vehicles and trucks we have captured, we can completely throw a regiment's forces into the area where we are preparing for war at one time. But have you ever thought that we have only seven tanks, 15 armored vehicles and nine guns in our hands, and we are at a complete disadvantage in terms of technical equipment. Moreover, the air supremacy of the battlefield is firmly in the hands of the German army. Once our shock troops were found by German reconnaissance planes, they would soon be bombarded with bombers. At that time, before our troops saw the enemy's defensive positions, they would be killed and wounded by German bombing. "

After listening to me, bandeleev sat down at the table and offered a cigarette without saying a word. I knew that he was thinking, so I didn't disturb him, but quietly looked at the map in front of me.

When a cigarette was half smoked, he suddenly threw the cigarette end on the ground and ground it with his toes. After a long sigh of relief, he looked at me and said, "Comrade teacher, you are right. I was dazzled by the victory. I just saw that the enemy was defeated by us one after another and forgot that the enemy's strength was far better than ours. "

As soon as Bantai leiev had given up his unrealistic idea, the operator came over in a hurry, handed me a telegram and said, "Comrade division, it's an urgent telegram from the political commissar."

When I heard the urgent telegram, I couldn't help shivering in my heart, thinking that it couldn't be the loss of mamayev post. He quickly took the telegram to our eyes and looked at it carefully. He found that although the situation was very serious, the mamayev post was still in our hands.

Perhaps seeing the serious expression on my face, Bantai leiev asked anxiously: "Mr. division, what did the political commissar say in the telegram? Is there something wrong with the mamayev post and it has been occupied by the enemy? "

I put the telegram on the table, looked up at leiev, and said in a heavy voice, "Comrade deputy division commander, the situation at mamayev post is not good. Today, the German army has invested a large number of troops in the front of our division and launched attacks on mamayev post and 107.5 highland like crazy again and again. "

"How's the war going?" Bantaileiev asked nervously.

"The front position of the fourth regiment was indeed lost, and the enemy attacking their position started from that front position. But fortunately, the fourth regiment's position defense was solid, and the enemy launched five successive charges, all of which were repulsed by our troops. "

Bantai leiev then asked, "what about highland 107.5?"

"107.5 the fighting on the Highlands was brutal. The enemy first used heavy artillery bombardment and aircraft bombing. When the surface position on the high ground was basically destroyed, the enemy probably had a battalion of troops who, under the cover of tanks, launched an attack on the high ground. After two hours of fierce fighting, the hillside position was occupied by the German army. When commander Oleg saw this situation, he immediately sent a reserve team to fight back and recaptured the lost position. " At this point, I pulled the map on my desk to my face, pointed to the location of 107.5 highland, and said anxiously, "according to the reconnaissance, the enemy built a new position about five kilometers northwest of 107.5 highland as the starting point of their attack. In this way, our way back to mamayev post was virtually cut off by this line of defense, and our troops became an isolated army hanging behind the enemy. "

"What, our retreat is cut off?" Hearing this shocking news, both bantaileiev and xiejerikov were scared out of their wits. After a long time, xiejerikov carefully asked: "Comrade teacher, what should we do next?"

According to my opinion, since the meeting with the Don front army has become a distant affair, our troops might as well turn around and go south quickly, break through their defensive zone and return to mamayev hillock while the German defense is not stable enough. But now the order from the superior is to join the friendly forces and take them south. That is to say, before the new order arrives, even if our troops are exhausted, we can still stick to the existing area.

Bantaileiev and shejerikov were both staring at me, waiting for me to announce the direction of the army's next move. I sighed in my heart, and finally said helplessly: "the order given by the superior is to go north and join the army of Don river. Before the new order is given, our choice is to stay here and wait for the friendly army to go south."

"What if the friendly forces can't go south to join us?" After learning about the current serious situation, shejerikov, regardless of his identity, directly asked his doubts“ Are we going to stay here and wait for the Germans to surround us and destroy us from all sides? "

"Yes, sir," bantaileiev said after knowing the difficulties we were facing, he was no longer as high spirited as he had just been. He echoed xiejerikov and said, "instead of staying and being surrounded and destroyed by the German army, we should make plans earlier and decisively turn around and go south to break through the line of defense built by the enemy before the enemy recovers, Return to the mamayev post as soon as possible. "

"Comrade deputy division commander," although I agree with them in my heart, I can only stick to it until I receive new orders, so I can only say vaguely, "we will not wait for the dead and let the Germans surround us. But we need to stay here and wait for further changes in the war situation before we get orders from our superiors. "

Before we could tell a result here, the operator rushed over and handed me a telegram. At the same time, he said anxiously, "Comrade division commander, this is a telegram from the headquarters of the group army."

I took over a look, heart suddenly cool half. It is said that "due to the temporary setback of the attack launched by the front army of the Don river, we may not be able to go south to join your division in a short time. I hope your troops will stay in konaiyi for another five to seven days to contain the German forces. "

After reading the telegram, I handed it to laiev and said bitterly, "Comrade deputy division commander, take a look. This is the order given to us by the headquarters of the group army. We can't count on retreating. We have to stay in the current area for five to seven days. " At this point, I couldn't help laughing bitterly, and said to myself, "in five to seven days, even if our troops can fight again, in the face of the enemy coming from all directions, it is estimated that they will not be able to escape the end of total annihilation?"

"Comrade division commander, do you need to ambush the enemy again?" Shejerikov may have seen me look sad and intentionally diverted my attention. "Since we have achieved good results in both ambushes, I think we can also cause a lot of casualties to the enemy if we do it again for the third time. In this way, we can gain more time."

I didn't even think about shijerikov's proposal, so I waved my hand and rejected it: "commander shijerikov, the enemy is not a fool. They have suffered from us twice in succession. Will they be cheated for the third time? I can tell you with confidence that before the new attack, the German army will concentrate its firepower to sweep the grassland near the highlands. At that time, our troops in ambush will be killed in the enemy's artillery fire. "

While I was talking to shijerikov, bandeleev was silent. I looked at him and asked curiously, "Comrade Deputy teacher, why don't you speak? Have you come up with any good idea?"

Bantaileiev nodded, then said in an uncertain tone: "I have come up with a way to ask the group army command to give us a new order to retreat. But... "When he talked about the second half, he suddenly avoided answering.

Seeing his unpleasantness in speaking, I stamped my feet and urged him: "Comrade deputy division commander, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly. Now that our situation is not too bad, we should try our best to move as soon as possible if we can, otherwise we will have to pay a huge price to break through if we really wait for the Germans to encircle us. "

Seeing that I had already said this, Bantai leiev did not hide it. Instead, he said directly, "Comrade division commander, I don't know what your relationship with the headquarters of the Don front army is like? If you have acquaintances there, you can ask general rokosovsky to see if the attack of the Don front army will end? If their attack is going to end, we can ask them to send a telegram to our group army headquarters, saying that the plan to join forces will be cancelled... "

"It's a solution, and it's the only feasible one at the moment." Bantailiev's method is indeed feasible. After nodding and praising, I asked in a strange way, "then why do you say it so haltingly?"

Bantai leiev said with a bitter smile: "Comrade division commander, I am not familiar with the commanders and fighters of the Don river front army, so whether this proposal can be implemented after it is put forward depends on whether you know the commanders of the Don river front army."

"Yes, of course!" I'm not familiar with other commanders, but rokosovsky, the current headquarters of the Don front army, is my old superior. If I have anything to ask him, maybe he will stretch out his hand to pull me.

Thinking of this, I went straight to the operator and asked him, "Comrade operator, can you send a message to the front army of Don river?"

The operator nodded and replied, "yes, sir. I don't know which group army headquarters you are going to send power to."

"To the commander of the front army, general rokosovsky." I replied briefly.

The operator was startled. After a moment's confusion, he replied to me, "Comrade division, I can send power to the front army of the Don river, but I don't know if the commander can see this telegram."

"As long as you can send a message." Time was pressing. I told the operator straightforwardly, "send a message to general rokosovsky, saying that major general oshanina, commander of the red flag independent division of the 62nd army of Stalingrad's front army, had something to contact him."

When the operator began to send out the message, bantaileiev and xiejerikov came to me. Seeing the worried expression on their faces, I quickly comforted them and said, "don't worry, general rokosovsky was my old superior before. I believe I can contact him."

After that, there was no one in the room to speak, only the sound of the telegraph operator. Although I was full of confidence when I spoke in front of them, I felt uneasy. Maybe rokosovsky was very busy at the moment, but he didn't have time to talk to me.

When I was in a state of uneasiness, the operator suddenly stopped his work, looked up at me and said, "Comrade division, general rokosovsky is by the telegraph, waiting for a call with you."

"General rokosovsky by the telegraph?" I couldn't believe it was true, so I asked the operator in an uncertain tone: "Comrade operator, are you sure it's general rokosovsky in front of the telegraph, waiting to talk to me?"

"Yes, sir." The operator said positively.

After taking a deep breath, I began to dictate a telegram to the operator: "Hello, general rokosovsky, this is oshanina. Our department was ordered to go north three days ago to meet your troops going south. "

After the telegram was sent out, rokosovsky's reply soon arrived: "yes, I know this matter. Despite the fact that our offensive forces lack heavy weapons and air supremacy, the speed of advancing is very slow, and the time to reach your position is uncertain at present."

"Our department is now facing the possibility of being surrounded by the German army. Since your troops going south can't join us quickly, then our department is in danger of being annihilated by the German army."

"Wait!" This time, rokosovsky's reply was extremely brief. Not only did I not see it, but also bantaileiev and shejerikov did not understand it.

Bandeleev read the reply several times and then said to himself, "what does this general rokosovsky mean? Let's wait. Do we want our troops to stay in the kongnieyi area and wait for the troops to go south, or is there any other meaning? "

After about seven or eight minutes, but when I was about to despair, the new telegram from rokosovsky came. It said briefly: "since our department is unable to break through the German defense line in a short period of time and realize the strategic intention of joining the Stalingrad front army, I will suggest that your superior headquarters cancel this hopeless meeting."

"That's great, that's great!" Bantailiev could not help crying with joy when he saw the telegram. He kept saying: "it's rokosovsky who has a clear view of the current situation and knows that even if we wait, we can't achieve the reunion of the two armies. Instead of letting an army die in vain, let's withdraw temporarily to accumulate strength and prepare for the next meeting.
