Chapter 873

As I called, wachuk's figure appeared at the door. But it's strange that he didn't come right away. Instead, he stood still and didn't pay any attention to me and Vitkov waiting in the room.

Seeing his action, I felt a little dissatisfied. My heart said that although you are older than me and qualified older than me, I am your superior after all, and my rank is higher than you. You can't be so rude to me. When I was about to attack, I was surprised to find that wachuk was not standing in the same place, but moving forward. I don't know if it was his leg problem or why. He moved slowly towards us in centimetres.

Surprised, I stepped forward to him, took his left arm, and asked with concern, "what's the matter, Colonel wachuk? What's the matter with your leg?"

The black and thin Colonel wachuk grinned, showed his white and neat teeth, and explained to me, "I'm sorry, comrade commander. My leg was frostbitten in the snow when I was fighting with the White army of Finland two years ago. As long as the weather is cold, the pain is very severe. If there is no one to help, you can hardly walk

Witkov heard what wachuk said. He quickly came over, took wachuk's other arm, and helped him to the table with me. When witkov went to pour the tea, I said to wachuk in a reproachful tone, "Colonel, your leg is not good. You should have told me this when you just got my call, instead of trying to be so brave now."

After listening to my criticism, wachuk said with a smile: "Comrade commander, I think you must have some important tasks to hand over to our division when you let me come to the military headquarters so late, so I put down the phone and came here in a hurry."

"Colonel wachuk," vetkov said with concern, after sitting down beside him with a cup of hot tea in front of wachuk, "since your legs are inconvenient, you should train some qualified assistants in the division. With their help, you will be more relaxed."

Hearing wittkov's words, wachuk nodded and said, "Comrade chief of staff, you are right. My commander, Lieutenant Colonel mitelev, is a good commander. Sometimes when I leave the headquarters and go to the frontier for inspection, he is the one who takes over my command. "

"Oh, commander miteleev." I repeated the name and asked, "where is he?"

"Right outside the door." Wachuk replied briefly.

"Chief of staff," said wachuk, his lieutenant colonel mitelev was at the door, and I immediately told Vitkov, "bring the lieutenant in quickly."

Vetkov nodded, went to the door and called out, "mitelev, is lieutenant colonel mitelev out there?" After hearing a reply from someone outside, he went on to say politely, "Comrade commander, don't stand outside. Please come in and come to the headquarters."

As soon as wittkov's voice was over, he hurried through the door to a tall commander in a gray cylinder fur hat and a military coat. After he came in, he raised his hand to salute us and said aloud, "comrades in chief of the army and chief of the staff! Infantry "Colonel wachuk," I began to teach the hero's division the knack of street fighting: "the independent Division I used to command is very experienced in this kind of street fighting. After you rush into the street, the troops should disperse immediately. It's the platoon as a unit that enters the buildings on both sides of the street to search for the enemy. It's not crowded together and rush forward foolishly. That way, apart from becoming the enemy's target, it won't play any role at all. In addition, when fighting in the house, the most suitable weapon is the shovel on the soldiers. When you see the enemy, there is only one thing you can do, that is to grab the shovel and swing it at the enemy. As long as you hit the other person's vital point, a little bit under the head, you can cut off his artery and kill him instantly; Even if his head doesn't hit his vital point, it can make him lose his resistance temporarily and can't cause any damage to our soldiers. "

After hearing this, wachuk nodded, then turned to miteleev and said, "commander, do you hear what the commander said? Write down these tactical points and pass them back to commanders at all levels. "

When wachuk was about to leave, I yelled out, "sergeant sonjik, come in." When the sergeant appeared in front of us, I pointed to wachuk and said to him, "Comrade sergeant, please help the lieutenant commander to send Colonel wachuk back."

The next morning, I got a call from trakov. He said happily, "o'shanina, do you know? The troops of the Batov group army and the chisgakov guard group army, who attacked from the west, had approached the western suburbs of Stalingrad. According to commander rokosovsky, he is going to ask our group army to dispatch several troops to hold a grand meeting ceremony with the friendly forces. "

"Very good, comrade commander. This is very good." I am also very happy to hear this news, because there are not many elite troops left in the group army. If we want to transfer troops to join forces, we will certainly transfer troops from the 79th infantry army. So I asked triumphantly, "are you going to transfer one or two troops from our army?"

"O'shanina, you guess a lot. I just want to draw a division from your army to participate in this meeting. " I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I heard that from trekov. The most outstanding division of the 79th army is the 150th division of Bantai leiev, which is the red flag independent division that I used to be the division commander. At this time, the next words of trakov made my smile freeze on my face. "I plan to transfer the 284th infantry division of Colonel wachuk to participate in this meeting."

The 284th division participated in the meeting, not the 150th division of Bantai leiev. When I heard the news, I almost threw the phone and lifted the table in front of me. At this moment, ten thousand grass mud horses have been galloping in my heart, and I secretly scold: why don't I act as the teacher of the independent division? Should the independent division be discriminated against and not be allowed to witness this moment of great historical significance? I resisted my dissatisfaction, tried to keep my voice steady, pretended to be nothing, and asked trakov, "Comrade commander, why did you arrange the troops of Colonel wachuk?"“ This time, I wanted to transfer the 150th division of bantailiev. "When I heard him say this, although I knew he couldn't see my expression, I still nodded my head desperately. I couldn't wait to ask: since you have considered the independent division, why did you finally decide to transfer the 284th division? Trikov didn't notice my difference at all, and he said slowly: "but considering that the division is the most effective unit in your army at present, if you want to capture the headquarters of Paulus as soon as possible, it's really impossible to leave them, so I chose the 284th division of Colonel wachuk as my second choice." Oh, it turns out that trekov didn't discriminate against my independent division, but wanted to use them in more important areas. After I found out what trikov really thought, my mind was immediately balanced. Only listen to trekov asked: "o'shanina, do you have any different opinions on my arrangement?" When I heard trekov's question, I quickly replied with a smile on my face, "no, comrade commander, I have no different opinions. I firmly obey your order." Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of the injury to wachuk's leg and the actual situation of walking difficulties. I quickly added, "however, Colonel wachuk's physical condition is not very good."“ Not in good health? " "He was wounded in the battle?" trekov asked in surprise“ No, comrade commander. " I hastened to give trakov a brief account of what wachuk said yesterday“ Well, so it is. " After listening to this, trakov didn't respond very much. Instead, he said to me, "Comrade oshanina, I've known something about Colonel wachuk for a long time. Although I haven't known him for a long time, I found three valuable qualities in him: firm command, brave fighting and strong party spirit. He is a man of both seriousness and integrity. He is formidable and respectable. According to the political workers of the headquarters below, although his legs were injured and he barely moved step by step, he never sat in the bunker. In order not to let the superior take special care of him, he tried every means to cover up his injury to us. Every day, he went to the front line or observation station on crutches, and often supported the adjutant's shoulder when he came back, but only when no one saw him at night. Try every means to cover up their injuries. He is a straight man. He speaks the truth frankly to any superior and subordinate. Although sometimes it hurts people's self-esteem, he still keeps on telling me the truth. What's more, the reports he submitted are always well founded. Even without verification, we can confirm that they are completely true. It is precisely because of his advantages that I will give priority to him when I choose the commander who will participate in the meeting. " When I put down the phone, wittkov asked me curiously, "Comrade commander, the commander is calling. Is there anything important?"“ The commander said that he would join up with the friendly forces in a few days, and that a unit would be drawn from our army. " I picked up the teapot on the table and took a sip. Then I said, "he has chosen the 284th division of wachuk. You can call the Colonel later and ask him to assemble his troops as soon as possible and move to the designated place." Witkov was surprised to hear that wachuk's troops were about to be transferred. He asked nervously, "but what should be done with the task of attacking the enemy's streets as soon as the 284th division leaves?"“ What else can we do? Another unit to replace the 284th division. " Considering that the division's defense area is not far from the 150th division of bandeleev, I said lightly, "you call Colonel bandeleev and ask him to transfer the shejerikov regiment to take over the defense area of the wachuk division. When it comes to street fighting, the whole group army really can't find a more experienced force. "
