Chapter 870

That night, I saw the telegrams intercepted by our army from Paulus to Hitler in the headquarters of trakov. Paulus asked Hitler by telegram whether he could surrender. He wrote in the telegram: "if we continue to defend, it is meaningless and tragedy is inevitable. In order to save the living, I ask for immediate approval of our surrender, which is to save our nation and people. Paulus Hitler's answer was simple and direct: "I will never allow surrender. The group army must hold its own position until it is shot to death. Hitler. " I put the telegram on the table and casually asked trakov, who was sitting beside me, "Comrade commander, what's Paulus' reaction to Hitler's reply?" With a sneer, trakov picked up another piece of paper from the table and said in a sarcastic tone: "this is the order Paulus gave to his officers and soldiers after receiving Hitler's call back. I'll read it to you:" soldiers, you know how we will be threatened if we stop resisting. Now we only have one way, Fight to the last bullet. Fighting, only by fighting constantly, can we delay our last time. We also want to hope for the coming Savior, who is on his way here. "“ What's on the way here? " I asked in a confused way. Krailov, who had just come in from the outside, heard my question and replied with a smile, "what else can it be? Death, of course! And the death it will bring to the Germans! " When trekov heard kreilov's voice, he raised his head and asked, "Comrade chief of staff, has the command of the front army come down?"“ Yes, comrade commander. " Krailov said and handed the telegram in his hand to trikov. At the same time, he reported that: "in order to separate the German encircled group, after the attack, general Batov and general chisgakov's group troops carried out the main assault from the West; The group of generals Zadov and galanin moved from the north, and the group of generals shumilov and torbhuin from the south to attack at the same time. The task of our group army is to attract more enemies from the East with positive actions. If the enemy tries to break through the frozen Volga River by force, they will resolutely block their way. " Gulov, who had not spoken for a long time, also expressed his own opinion after listening: "comrades commander, the task of our group army is very arduous. Although we have been thinking of Comrade oshanina all this time, I am not interested in vasilevsky's promotion to general, so I didn't speak. Instead, I quietly looked at trakov and waited for him to tell me the third good news. Unexpectedly, he turned and looked at gulov sitting next to him, and said with a smile, "Comrade military commissar, I think it's better for you to announce the third good news to oshanina in person." Hearing that the last good news had something to do with me, I quickly turned to face gurov and straightened my back, waiting for him to announce the final answer to me. Gurov stood up with a smile on his face and said to me with ease: "Comrade oshanina, I formally announce to you today that your application for joining the party has been approved after discussion by all members of the Military Commission of the group army. From now on, you are an official member of the Communist Party of China (Bolshevik). Here, I congratulate you After shaking hands with gurov, trekov and krailov shook hands with me respectively and expressed their sincere congratulations to me. And I still feel like I'm dreaming. I didn't expect that after only a few days, my application passed so easily.
