Chapter 818

Although I saw that many teachers and political commissars were not willing to participate in the meeting, in the face of the counterattack made by Cui KOV and implemented on November 7, due to the orders of the higher authorities, they could only show unconditional obedience by holding their noses.

After the meeting, trikov specially left me to discuss with him whether he could transfer troops from mamayev post to support the counterattack in the area. When I heard what trakov said, I felt very difficult. To tell you the truth, I really didn't want to give my troops to the headquarters of trakov at such a time. Not to mention that perrskin and Pugachev, who are still lying in the military hospital, even the strongest regiment of shejerikov, were given his command for just over a day, and there were few more than 3000 people left. Now it's only a few days before Stalingrad's big counterattack. If I give these troops to trakov to squander, it will be very difficult for the independent division to achieve any brilliant achievements in the final stage of the campaign.

After much deliberation, I said to trikov, "Comrade commander, I understand that the situation in the city is very bad, but the mamayev post is also very important. After several fierce battles, the army of the independent division was also seriously reduced. If the troops are transferred into the city again, I am afraid that the remaining troops will be difficult to resist the fierce German offensive. "

After listening to my words, trikov slapped the table and stood up to attack. Gulov, who was sitting next to him, grabbed his hand and motioned him not to be angry for a while. Then he said to me kindly, "Comrade oshanina, I know what you said is true, but have you ever thought about the area defended by the 70th division of lyudnikov's close guard, Once broken through, the enemy will not only advance to the Volga River, but also occupy the logistics supply warehouse of our army group. In that case, our commanders and fighters will not be able to support any more. "

Gurov's words made me hesitate. It seems that they are still very polite to me. They even discussed with me about the transfer of troops. If they were replaced by other troops, maybe they would give a direct order: how many companies would be drawn out of the division and directly assigned to lyudnikov's troops. There would be no room for negotiation.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously unwise for me to stick to my own opinions any more. Therefore, I can only say with a stiff head: "Comrade military commissar, since this is the case, I will certainly find a way to transfer troops and support Colonel lyudnikov."

Seeing that I agreed with his proposal, trekov turned to the door and called out, "come in, comrade colonel." With his shouts, lyudnikov came in through the door. Looking at my eyes fell on him, he became a bit at a loss. After two dry smiles, he choked out a nonsense: "Comrade o'shanina, you haven't left yet."

I thought to myself, if I leave, who would you ask for troops to strengthen your defense area? You should know that under the current situation, except for the relatively complete organizational structure of my independent division, although the other units in the city still have division numbers, the actual strength is only about one battalion.

Trikov coughed and said gravely to lyudnikov, "Comrade Colonel, don't you want to borrow some soldiers from oshanina? I've conveyed your idea to her, and she agreed. Next, you go to the next room to discuss the deployment. "

"Yes." When lyudnikov heard what trakov said, he breathed a sigh of relief and saluted them. After that, he reached out to me and made a gesture of invitation.

We came to an empty room next door. I didn't want to stay in the headquarters for a long time, so as soon as I sat down, I said frankly, "Comrade Colonel, you and I are all acquaintances, and we have fought side by side more than once. If you need anything, you can directly ask for it. You don't need to send a message through the commander."

"Well, comrade oshanina." Lyudnikov giggled and said, "I think you know as well as I do what's going on in the city. After the brutal fighting, the divisions and brigades were severely reduced. Some divisions even had only one or two hundred people left. It was difficult for them to defend the existing area, let alone help us. Therefore, I had the cheek to ask you for help. For fear of being rejected by you, I asked the commander to help me

"Come on, comrade Colonel," I interrupted him and said to myself, "in the recent battle, the number of the independent division has been reduced very seriously. At present, there is only one vacant number left in the second regiment, so even if I have to send troops to supplement, the number of troops I can draw out is very limited."

Lyudnikov listened to me with a look of disappointment on his face, but he asked reluctantly, "Comrade oshanina, I want to know how many troops can you send me?"

I stretched out a finger and said in an understatement, "a company."

"What, a company?" Lyudnikov jumped up from his seat and said, "you just gave me a company. What's the purpose of this force? If we put them in the position, we can wipe them out with only one round of enemy shelling. "

I coughed gently, and then explained to lyudnikov, "Comrade Colonel, you don't know much about the situation of the independent division. Our establishment is a little different from that of other divisions. Each company has 200 people. And the company I'm going to send to you is one of the most effective units in our division. "

Lyudnikov was still reluctant to hear me say this: "Comrade oshanina, just now you also heard what the military commissar said. Behind us is the logistics warehouse of the group army. Once captured by the German army, it will be a huge disaster for the whole group army." I know what lyudnikov said is a fact. Once the logistics warehouse of the group army is occupied by the German army, we will face the tragic fate of running out of ammunition and food. So after hesitating for a moment, I gritted my teeth. Finally, I gave up two fingers and said to lyudnikov, "well, comrade Colonel, I'll give you two more companies, You've almost doubled your strength, and you're more confident of dealing with the Germans. " Seeing what lyudnikov seemed to want to say, I quickly raised my hand to stop him and said in an indisputable tone: "Colonel, there are only three companies. I think we are old friends and take care of you. I don't think a single soldier will support them if we change to other divisions. "
