Chapter 914

Kirilov, on the other hand, was the opposite of my relaxed reaction. He grabbed the telegraph and fixed his eyes on the "?", I haven't spoken for a long time.

"Comrade political commissar, what's the matter with you?" In order to relieve his nervousness, I said to him in a humorous tone: "have you never seen a telegram with only one question mark?"

I didn't expect kirilov's face was still expressionless after hearing this. After staring at the telegram for a while, kirilov raised his head and said to me with a straight face: "Comrade oshanina, I always feel something is wrong!"

"Something's wrong. What's wrong?" I was puzzled by his words, so I asked, "Comrade political commissar, do you find something wrong?"

Kirilov nodded and went on“ Comrade o'shanina, do you think that we have captured Hitler too smoothly? According to sergeant adir's report, there are tanks at the entrance of the airport. There are many fighters and bombers in the airport, as well as the national defense forces of two companies. But when we attacked, only one company of the national defense forces and a small team of the Ss were at war with us. Not only are there no airplanes in the airport, but also the tanks parked at the door. You know, even if Manstein went out, he couldn't bring only a little security force, let alone Hitler, the head of state? "

After listening to kirilov's words, my heart began to get nervous. My heart said that it could not be the trap that Manstein intended to set for us, right? But on second thought, it should not be. The "bait" he used was too big. He actually used Hitler himself. Isn't he afraid that the guns are blind and he accidentally injured Hitler in the scuffle?

When kirilov and I were speechless, bandeleev and a group of his commanders came towards us. After they saluted us, I told Bantai leiev: "Comrade division commander, now you are responsible for the security work of the airport. On the positions facing zaborosh, we must put on the most effective troops. I am afraid that the enemy will rush to the airport madly when they know the news of Hitler's capture. It's up to your division to stop their crazy attack. Is that clear? "

"Clear, comrade commander." Bantai leiev agreed, turned around and began to give orders to several regiment commanders under his command, arranging the defensive positions of regiments and battalions.

While bantailiev was arranging the task, kirilov and I began to discuss how to reply to Zhukov's telegram. Kirilov asked sadly, "Comrade oshanina, how do you plan to reply to Marshal Zhukov's telegram?"

After thinking about it, I replied, "well, comrade political commissar. Another telegram was sent to Marshal Zhukov, saying that our department had captured zaborosh's airport and captured Theodore Ike, the division commander of the skull division, and a German suspected of Hitler. "

As for my proposal, kirilov thought for a moment, and readily agreed: "well, comrade oshanina, just send another telegram to marshal. By the way, what should we do with Hitler?"

After the discussion, I told razumeyeva: "Comrade lieutenant, immediately send another telegram to Marshal Zhukov, saying that we have captured Ike, the division commander of the German" skull division ", and a German who is very similar to Hitler. How should Marshal deal with this?"

After receiving the order, razumeyeva turned and sent a message to the temporary communication room. Bantaileiev also ran to us after finishing the combat task and said to us in a flattering tone: "commander, political commissar, I heard that Hitler was captured by us. I don't know if I can meet him? You know, we've only seen Hitler painted on the target before, but we've never seen a real person before. I want to see a real person today. I don't know if it's ok? "

I couldn't find a reason to refuse bantaileiev's request, so I raised my chin to the plane surrounded by our soldiers on the far runway and said, "Comrade division commander, Hitler and the general of the Ss are on the plane. In order to prevent his escape, I specially sent a platoon of the special guard company to guard."

These two words of mine immediately caused the Bantai leiev's laughter. He said with a smile: "don't say there is a big pit in the airport. Even if there is no big pit, it is impossible for Hitler to escape, unless he can fly the big plane himself." With that, he raised his hand to salute us and ran to the distant plane with some of his men.

Kirilov looked at bantaileiev and asked thoughtfully, "Comrade oshanina, how will the marshal reply to us when he receives our telegram?"

Hearing his question, I shook my head and said with a bitter smile, "Comrade political commissar, I don't know. I didn't expect that seizing Hitler not only didn't bring us any benefits, but also became a big trouble for us. At present, this matter has not been reported to the commanders of the group army and the front army, and I don't know how they will see us when they know about it. "

There was a rumble of gunfire in the distance. It seemed that the enemy coming out of zaborosh had caught fire with our troops. I listened, only to the sound of tank guns, mortars and machine guns. It seems that the Germans are wary of using heavy weapons such as cannons. Hearing this, I feel much more relieved. As long as the German army does not dare to use heavy artillery or aircraft bombing, then there is no problem for us to hold the airport.

Razumeyeva came out of the temporary communication room and reported to us, "Comrade commander, the return call from the marshal has arrived."

"What does the telegram say?" I asked habitually when I received the telegram.

When razumeyeva heard my question, she was stunned and then fluently reported: "Comrade commander, marshal said that he will arrive at zaborosh by special plane in two hours. Please clear the runway so that the plane can land smoothly."

"What, comrade Marshal will come here by special plane in person?" Kirilov was startled by the unexpected news. He said to me nervously, "Comrade oshanina, we should stop the marshal from coming here. You know, from Moscow to here, you have to fly over the enemy occupied area. If the plane is intercepted by anti-aircraft fire, the marshal will have his life. "

I understand what kirilov said is true. Zhukov's plane will fly hundreds of kilometers in the area occupied by the German army. If it is attacked by ground anti-aircraft fire, his special plane may be shot down. However, according to my understanding of Zhukov, the more dangerous he is, the more he wants to take risks. Even if I send a telegram to stop him, he will not easily change his decision. Thinking of this, I said to razumeyeva: "Lieutenant, call the marshal back. We have made all preparations to meet him at zaborosh airport. Please let him come to zaborosh as soon as possible."

As razumeyeva turned to leave, kirilov quickly stopped him, turned to me and said in a loud voice, "Comrade oshanina, don't you know the danger here? The German troops coming out of zaborosh are attacking our positions. When the Marshal's special plane arrives, it is still unknown who has the airport. We have no right to let a Soviet Marshal take the risk. I beg you again to send a message to Comrade Zhukov to cancel this crazy plan. "

I waved my hand and said to him helplessly: "Comrade political commissar, with my understanding of Marshal Zhukov, as long as it is his decision, no one can modify it. What we can do now is to try our best to block the German attack and make sure that the airport is still in our hands when the Marshal's special plane arrives. " At this point, chongrazumeyeva waved and motioned her to go back to the communication room to send a message.

After watching Hitler on the plane, bandeleev came back to us in high spirits. He said with disdain: "what a coward is the Fuehrer. See me with a few people into, scared to hide in the corner trembling. It's a pity that he doesn't know Russian. Otherwise, he will use our language to ask for mercy. "

"General bantailiev," I ordered him as soon as he finished saying, "I just received a telegram from Marshal Zhukov, and his special plane will arrive at zaborosh in two hours. I order you to immediately organize people to fill the craters in the airport to ensure that the Marshal's plane can land safely. "

"Comrade marshal is coming here?" Bantaileiev was also startled by the news, and then he said nervously, "Comrade commander, can you send another telegram to the marshal, saying that the airport is being attacked by the German army, and for his safety, ask him to cancel this operation?"

"All right, comrade bandeleev." I waved to him and said impatiently, "it's not something you should care about. Now you have two things to do. One is to beat back the German attack on the airport and ensure that when the Marshal's special plane lands, the airport is still under our control. Second, immediately organize people to fill up all the big pits on the runway of the airport, so that the Marshal's transfer plane can land smoothly. "

Before going to perform the task, Bantai leiev pointed to the side and said to us in a concerned tone: "commander, political commissar, it's cold outside. You'd better go back to the tent."

I looked in the direction of Bantai leiev's finger and noticed that he was referring to a tent that had been built for a long time. Originally, this was the temporary command post of kirilov and I. It was because of Hitler that we stood outside and froze for an hour without realizing it.

When Zhukov's special plane and two escort fighters appeared in my telescope lens, the German attack on the airport had been repulsed again, and the runway of the airport had been completely repaired, which was enough for Zhukov's special plane to land safely.

Seeing that the altitude of the plane was getting lower and lower, I quickly gathered Bantai leiev and several battalion leaders under him to stand beside the runway with my special guard company, patiently waiting for the landing of the special plane.

When the special plane landed successfully and came to a stable stop near us, I quickly took you up. I quickly walked up to Zhukov, raised my hand to salute him, and then said in a loud voice, "welcome to zaborosh, marshal. Major general oshanina and all the officers and men of the 79th infantry are waiting for your orders."

"Where is Hitler?" Zhukov just nodded at me and then asked, "are you sure it's him?"

Zhukov's words stopped me. In a hurry, I didn't know how to answer his question. I opened my mouth a few times and found that I couldn't answer Zhukov's question, so I closed my mouth wisely.

"Why don't you talk?" Zhukov saw that I didn't reply him. He frowned and snorted heavily.

Seeing that Zhukov was on the verge of anger, I immediately straightened up and said, "report to marshal, Hitler and the wounded" skull division "division commander are locked in the next big plane, which is Hitler's special plane."“ Take me to see. " Zhukov did not introduce to me the group of commanders who were following him. After giving me a simple order, he headed for Hitler's special plane. We passed through the soldiers guarding the plane, went up the gangway and down the corridor to Hitler's position. At the moment, Hitler was sitting haggardly in his chair, looking out of the window in despair, while the wounded Ike was lying on a large sofa opposite him. Looking at the naked Ike wrapped like a mummy by the health worker, I know how badly he was injured in the battle. When Hitler saw so many people standing in front of him, he got up from his seat in a hurry. Instead of the domineering expression, he spoke to Zhukov in a low voice with a humble attitude. Gretka, who was standing beside him, translated Zhukov's words in time. Seeing Hitler's reaction, my heart can't help but thump. My heart says, is this German captured by us really Hitler? When I think of this, a word suddenly comes into my mind: double, yes, double. During the Moscow defense war, Stalin's stand in visited rokosovsky's 16th army. Now it is not surprising that Hitler's stand in appears near zaborosh. After listening to gretka's translation, Zhukov said a few words to the real and fake Hitler, then turned to me and said, "Rita, this Hitler's identity is very suspicious. We can't confirm whether he is himself or a stand in, so I'll take him back to Moscow and give him to the comrades of the Ministry of interior for trial to find out what's going on." For Zhukov's decision, I dare not have the slightest objection. I just pointed to general Ike lying on the sofa and asked, "marshal, is this general of the SS going with me?" Zhukov looked at Ike and said in disgust, "I'm not interested in this kind of dying man. I'd better leave it to you to deal with it." Then he took his body aside and waved to the men who followed him on the plane to take Hitler away.
