Chapter 859

Because of ublishi's propaganda to the German army and the power of our guns, the German army in the office building became demoralized and demoralized. When our army rushed into the building, many windows had white flags. Our army's fighting in the building was also very smooth. Except for a few diehards who fought to the death, the rest of the soldiers raised their hands to surrender as soon as they saw our commanders and fighters rushing past.

As the German prisoners came out of the building one after another under the escort of our soldiers, I saw that ublish and captain Beckman were coming towards me from the corner where they had just been shouting, and they met me in a hurry.

I took Ulrich's hand and said gratefully, "thank you, comrade Ulrich. If it wasn't for your shouting that broke the morale of the German army, we might not have taken down the office building so easily. "

"Comrade o'shanina, you are very kind. This is what I should do." With a smile on his face, ublishi replied, "I just talked to the captain and knew that he had defected to the Soviet army and was given preferential treatment in the independent division. It's amazing that you've done so. At least you can save the lives of many soldiers. " At this point, he released my hand, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and then said: "you see, it's late, I have to go to other places, so I won't talk to you. Goodbye. I hope we can meet again in the future. "

Looking at his back, I vaguely felt something wrong. He seemed to have something to say. If I leave Beckman and his defectors in the division, I can save many soldiers' lives. What's the connection between the two?

Before I could think of a reason, Beckman said, "Sir, do you think what ublishi said is a little abstruse?" Seeing that I nodded in affirmation, he added, "if you hadn't taken us in, we would have been sent to the prison camp. I don't want to tell you what's going on there. I believe you have a good idea. After several years in such an environment, it is really unknown how many people will come back to their hometown alive. "

After listening to Beckman's explanation, I realized in my heart that ublish was talking about this. Looking at the expressionless Beckman, I raised my hand and patted him gently on the shoulder, comforting him and saying, "don't worry, comrade captain. You can go back to your hometown safely for two years at most."

Beckman listened to me with an incredible expression on his face. He was surprised and asked, "Comrade teacher, are you telling me the truth? Can my men and I go back to Germany alive? "

"Yes, comrade captain." I answered with certainty: "the German forces besieged in Stalingrad will soon be wiped out by us. When we have solved the enemy here, we can spare our hands to reinforce other battlefields and wipe out all the enemies who invade our country. When the war is over, you can go back to Germany safely. "

More than an hour later, shejerikov came to report to me that the Germans in the factory had been completely eliminated. I just used a regiment's telephone to report the results of the Red October factory to trikov.

When trikov heard that I had annihilated all the enemies in the factory and successfully recaptured the Red October factory, he cheered excitedly in the microphone. After a while, he solemnly told me: "Comrade oshanina, use your existing forces to strengthen the fortifications in the factory, increase the defensive forces, and ensure that the factory will not be occupied by the German army again."

When I heard that trakov ordered us to strengthen our defense rather than continue to attack, I was stunned for a moment. Then I asked, "Comrade commander, you asked us to build a defense in the factory area. Don't you intend to let the German army continue to develop in depth?"

"The task is clear, comrade oshanina, first hold the present position firmly," trekov repeated his order to me, and then continued to say: "while you hold the position, you should organize more capable teams to attack the German position with sudden and rapid attack, Continue to contain and consume their living strength and technical weapons. " Perhaps to make me understand why he issued such an order, he added: "due to the drop in temperature, the ice transportation line is basically stable, and the materials and troops assembled on the east bank are now driving far away from the ice into the city. We are building up our strength, waiting for the right time, and then give the exhausted German army a thunderbolt, which will surely wipe them out completely. "

"I see, comrade commander," after listening to trekov's arrangement, I quickly replied, "I'll arrange to dispatch troops from various divisions to form a capable combat team."

At the end of the call with trakov, I immediately ordered Yushchenko to call Sokolov, guriyev and xiejerikov and convey trakov's order to them. Then I began to arrange for the formation of a capable team. Due to the limited strength of the 39th division of the guards, I was unable to deploy manpower to form a team. So I handed over the defense work on the West and north sides of the factory to guriyev. Sokolov's and shejerikov's troops, on the other hand, each deployed a battalion to form a capable combat team with a platoon as a unit to engage in close combat with the German forces in the city and gradually encroach on the area they occupied.

As the officers and men of the first regiment have rich combat experience, they have achieved a lot in the next few days. Almost every day, they could occupy a block or two and wipe out all the German troops, compressing their positions a little bit.

On the evening of December 31, when I was thinking about whether I should send something to the soldiers for the new year, I suddenly received a call from trakov himself. He said excitedly on the phone, "Comrade oshanina, I order you to come to the headquarters of the group army immediately. There is something important to tell you."

"We?" Because I heard that trakov said "you" instead of "you" on the phone, which proved that there must be other people going to his headquarters besides me, so I asked in a hurry, "Comrade commander, I don't know who else is going to the group army headquarters besides me?"

"In addition to you, please call on political commissar kirilov, deputy division commander bantaileiev and all regimental leaders. As for the division headquarters, it is entrusted to the chief of staff, major akhromeyev, and the command power of each regiment is temporarily transferred to the deputy head of the regiment or the political commissar. "

When I heard that trikov was going to call so many of us to a meeting at one time, I couldn't help beating a drum. After all, what happened to my heart? Why did so many people go to the meeting suddenly? Although I was full of doubts, I honestly summoned all the commanders for the meeting.

Suddenly received orders of several regiments, flurried from their command post ran. The first one to arrive was lieutenant commander Oleg, the second commander. As soon as he entered the division headquarters, he asked aloud, "Comrade division commander, do you have any important combat tasks to call us back from the front at this time?"

Instead of answering his question, I asked him to sit down and wait for the other team leaders. The leaders of the third, fourth and first regiments came one after another. When they came in, they all asked the same questions as Oleg, but I just laughed and asked them to sit down and wait, avoiding talking about why they were called.

When I saw that all the people had arrived, I announced in public, "comrades commanders, I have called you all here today because I received a call from commander trakov, asking me to take you to the headquarters of the group army to attend an important meeting."

"Attend the meeting?" As soon as I finished, the four commanders began to whisper, "why did the commander call a meeting at this time? Do you think our attack speed is too slow? I don't think so. Our fourth regiment has been very good recently. In addition to killing thousands of German soldiers, we have captured at least five or six hundred prisoners and recaptured seven streets. "

"Yes, our regiment is also good at fighting," and when Gaidar Desser was finished, shejerikov also began to show his meritorious service: "our regiment, with the cooperation of friendly forces, captured 11 streets, killed and injured more than 2000 German soldiers, and at least thousands of prisoners were evacuated."

"I don't think it's about that." The second group leader Oleg said thoughtfully, "tomorrow is the new year. Does it have something to do with giving more benefits to the soldiers to call us a meeting at this time?"

"It's impossible." "As far as I know, ten tons of chocolate in the warehouse under commander trakov's personal control has long been emptied. Maybe there's nothing good to share with you," Col. kosga said

"Well, don't say any more." I was afraid that they would not finish what they said, so I interrupted them in time and said discontentedly, "what did the commander tell us to do? When the group army headquarters, everything will be clear. Stop chatting and get ready to go. " At this point, I turned to akhromeyev, who was sitting at the table, and said, "Comrade chief of staff, the chief military officers of the division and regiment are not in the army. Once something happens, I can count on you all."

Akhromeyev quickly stood up and said to me, "please rest assured that I will do my job well."

I nodded, then looked back and waved to the leaders standing in front of me, and said loudly, "let's go!"

Now that we don't have to worry about German air raids and shelling, we will go to the headquarters of the group army on foot instead of by jeep.

On the way, kirilov, who was always uneasy in his heart, asked me anxiously, "Comrade oshanina, what on earth would it be that Comrade trakov asked us to go to the headquarters of the group army?"

I shook my head and said regretfully, "sorry, comrade political commissar, I really don't know what the commander called so many of us to the headquarters to do. But fortunately, the road is not too far, and the answer will soon be revealed. "

When our motorcade arrived at the gate of the headquarters, it was Colonel wittkov, deputy staff officer of the group army, who came out to meet us. When he saw me get off the jeep, he immediately welcomed me with a happy face and said politely, "Comrade deputy commander, you are here. Comrade commander has been waiting for you in his headquarters for a long time. I'll take you there

Under the leadership of Colonel wittkov, we came to the door of trakov's new headquarters. When I look at the door, I see a lot of people you are doing. At the table, there are trakov, gurov, Krylov and Vasiliev. On the bench opposite them, there are some teachers or brigadiers who have dealt with me.

When Colonel witkov reported that we were waiting at the door, trakov got up from the table, waved to us and said, "Comrade oshanina, comrade kirilov, here you are! Don't stand outside the door, come on in

I took a group of my subordinates to trokov's headquarters and raised my hand to salute the senior commanders sitting at the table. I saw that there were some benches next to the division commanders and brigadiers. I was about to walk over with kirilov and sit down with them when I heard gurov's voice: "Comrade oshanina, come to me!" Hearing the voice of the military commissar, I quickly stopped and rushed away. Kirilov, who was next to me, laughed apologetically. Then I went around him and came to gurov. Gurov pointed to the empty seat beside Vasiliev and said with a smile, "Comrade oshanina, please sit with the director of the political department." After everyone was seated, trikov stood up and said with a smile, "Comrade commander, tomorrow is the new year. I'll call you here to express new year's congratulations to you and sincerely say: Happy New Year!" As soon as his voice fell, there was a sound of "Happy New Year". After waiting for silence, he said mysteriously, "next, I will give an unexpected new year gift to the commanders here. This afternoon, we received an order from the supreme command that in order to strengthen the command of the troops, it was decided to resume the infantry which was withdrawn at the end of 1941. It's a great honor that our group army has a quota to set up military level units. " At this point, he turned to krailov and said with a smile, "Comrade chief of staff, please read out the order of the supreme command to everyone." Krailov nodded, then picked up a piece of paper on the table and stood up. Seeing the chief of staff of the group army standing up, I wondered to myself: at present, there are many close guard divisions in Stalingrad. Is it necessary to set up a close guard army? On the other hand, all the other troops have official numbers. If we set up an infantry army, maybe my independent division will be divided into various guard divisions. I feel a little nervous when I think about this. Only krailov read aloud: "the supreme command has decided that major general oshanina's red flag independent division, Col. gurtyev's 308th infantry division, Col. wachuk's 284th infantry division, Col. andryushchenko's 115th infantry brigade, Col. gorohov's 124th infantry brigade, Col. bolvinov's 149th infantry brigade, and Col. berey's 84th tank brigade will be responsible, Form the 79th infantry army. " When I heard the name of the 79th infantry army, I almost sat on the ground by ray. Isn't this the army that later occupied the Capitol and put the red flag on the roof? We should know that the flag of the 150th division is the first victory flag to appear in every Red Square parade. With so many troops forming a single army, I don't know who will be the commander? Thinking of this, my eyes can't help flying to the group of commanders sitting next to me. Looking at this one, it looks like a commander. Looking at that one, I think it's possible to become a commander. Just when I was absent-minded, I suddenly heard my name clearly from krailov's mouth: "major general oshanina, commander of the 79th infantry army, political commissar and military commissar, served by Vasiliev, director of the Political Department of the group army..." before I woke up from the shock, I heard krailov announce again: "from now on, the number of the red flag independent division, Officially changed to the 150th division of the red flag. " When I heard that I was awarded an independent teacher, I felt like I was dreaming. I secretly pinched my thigh, and the pain immediately told me clearly: This is not a dream, but a real thing.
