Chapter 813

Early in the morning, I was awakened by akhromeyev in my deep sleep. He gently shook my shoulder. Seeing that I woke up from my sleep, he immediately reported to me: "Comrade division commander, the call from the headquarters of the group army." Listen, I just gave a vague hum, and he quickly added, "it's commander trakov himself."

When I heard that it was trekov, I was worried that he had something important to report to me. I quickly got out of bed, rushed to the table with a few quick steps, grabbed the microphone on the table, and said nervously, "Hello, comrade commander? This is o'shanina. What's your instruction

When trekov heard that it was my voice, he jokingly said, "Comrade oshanina, your independent division is very powerful. I've heard that you just received a supplement from an elite army yesterday. Although there are only over 100 people, they are carrying new weapons that we have never seen before. Is that true? According to professional analysis, a company with this kind of equipment can form combat effectiveness at least equal to one battalion of ordinary troops. "

"Comrade commander, look what you said. It's not so exaggerated." I replied sheepishly: "last night, a small unit came. It was a special guard company assigned to me by the superior. The company commander was my old subordinate when I was the commander of the eighth division of the guards. The guns they are carrying are all new weapons that have just been developed and will not be listed in the army for the time being. " At this point, I suddenly think of the arrival of the special guard company. I didn't report it to the group army command. How did trakov know? Did he also put his eyes and ears around me? If that's the case, it would be too chilling for me.

Thinking of this, I can't help holding the phone and looking at kirilov, Bantai leiev and akhromeyev who asked me to answer the phone nearby. I guess which of them reported this to trikov in private?

Just as I was suspecting my colleagues, I was relieved by his next sentence: "last night, when general lobov, the Minister of logistics, was commanding the army to carry materials on the dock, he suddenly saw a small army with a strange rifle get off the ship. The captain also asked him about the way of your division headquarters. Then he knew that this army was newly added to you."

After listening to trekov's words, I felt relieved and said in my heart that it was Yushchenko who met general lobov, not the people around me. Since trekov didn't put a watch on me, I felt more secure. I changed the topic and asked, "Comrade commander, what's the current situation in the city?"

"According to the information we have and the current fighting process, we can see that the Germans are as exhausted as our troops. After ten consecutive days of fighting, the Germans once again divided our army into two parts and occupied the tractor factory, but they did not achieve the goal of destroying the main force of our army. " "In order to ensure the continued attack on the city, the German army could only send reserve troops from depth to fight, or even new troops from the German mainland," he said.

Obviously, in November, the German continued to attack Stalingrad not for military needs, but for political purposes. Of course, the German generals, as before, underestimated the strength of the Soviet people and the Red Army, and their attacks will still be completely smashed by us.

In the first few days of November, the task of our group army is to disturb the enemy with all our strength and make it restless. If the German general suddenly decides to withdraw from Stalingrad, we must bite them tightly and not let them escape. "

"Comrade commander, please rest assured." For me, who knows the outcome of the campaign, I understand that the German army does not dare to retreat even when it is surrounded. What's more, at present, the German army still has the advantage. At least on the surface, they still have the possibility of seizing Stalingrad at any time. So when I heard what trakov said, I immediately expressed my determination to him: "our independent division will certainly attract the enemies in front of the Highlands, and will never let them leave Stalingrad easily."

After finishing the current situation, trakov brought the topic to my guard company again: "Comrade oshanina, what's the combat effectiveness of your new guard company?"

"Comrade commander," although I didn't know the meaning of trekov's question, I answered truthfully, "this company belongs to the Ministry of interior, and many of its commanders and fighters have rich combat experience."

"Comrade oshanina, I'd like to discuss something with you," trekov said abruptly

"Comrade commander, please go ahead." I don't understand why trikov behaved so impolitely, so I politely said, "as long as it's within my ability, I will do my best."

"Well, comrade oshanina." Trakov said with some difficulty: "as you can see, we lost too much soldiers in the battle some time ago. Even the guard battalion of the group army headquarters was added to the fighting forces. At present, I can only rely on staff officers and logistics personnel to ensure the safety of the headquarters. So I ask you, can I have some people from your new security company to strengthen the security work of the headquarters? "

When I heard that trakov begged me in such a low voice, I knew in my heart that what he said was true. If he had not been at the end of the mountain, he would not have made such a request to his subordinates. For his request, I will not refuse, can not refuse, so I readily agreed: "Comrade commander, no problem, I will send you a platoon immediately."

"Great, that's great." "With this platoon, I believe the security of the group army headquarters can be guaranteed," he said Put down the phone, I immediately had Yushchenko called over and announced to him, "Comrade captain, immediately send a platoon from the company and let them report to the headquarters of the group army." Hearing what I said, Yushchenko was stunned and then asked, "Comrade division commander, may I ask, what is the purpose of dispatching a platoon to the headquarters of the group army?" I patiently explained to Yushchenko: "Comrade captain, as the situation in the city is very bad now, the guard camp of the group army command has been supplemented with combat troops. In order to ensure the safety of the commander, I decided to transfer one of your platoons to carry out the security work."“ But, comrade teacher. " Yushchenko did not immediately carry out my order, but argued: "the order I received was to go to the independent division to protect your safety. I can't carry out your order without receiving a new one. "“ Comrade captain, "kirilov came out to criticize Yushchenko when he saw that he was not willing to carry out the orders I gave him." don't you know that the orders of the superior are not allowed to be discussed? What's more, the army headquarters of the group army is empty. If the senior commander is killed due to the attack of the German army, then the command system of the whole army will be in chaos. What kind of consequences will there be? Even if I don't say, can you think of it? " After kirilov said that, Yushchenko stopped talking, raised his hand to salute us, turned and left. Kirilov and I walked out of the headquarters. The cold wind made me shiver. Then I found that it was already white and plain outside. It seemed that the snow last night was not small. I said to kirilov with emotion: "Comrade political commissar, it's snowing. In this way, the time for the enemy's planes to go out is much less, which is very beneficial for our defense." Unexpectedly, kirilov said solemnly: "don't be happy, comrade oshanina. Heavy snow is good for us, but it is also harmful." He pointed to the Volga River in the distance and said, "if the weather is colder, the Volga River will freeze. At that time, the supplies and soldiers on the other side of the river will not be able to come. At that time, we will enter the most difficult period. "
