Although Romanov did not give a detailed account of how he led the army to fight guerrillas in Belarus and Ukraine, I can restore their difficult journey behind the enemy lines according to some films and TV works that I have seen in later generations.
In the rest of the journey, none of us spoke, just staring out of the window, thinking about our own thoughts. What I'm thinking about is, after taking kafbas, where should we choose our next attack target? The German army had occupied zaborosh, and it was impossible to move eastward; Manstein's heavy army group is gathering in Dnepropetrovsk, and our northward journey is undoubtedly a trap. There are only two roads left: one is to attack kilovgrad, which is not a small city, more than 100 kilometers away to the West; Or go south to capture the port city of Nikolayev.
Before I could think of it, the jeep stopped. As I kept thinking about things, I didn't notice where the car was. As soon as the car stopped, I immediately asked the driver, "are we in town?"
The driver turned to his side and said with some embarrassment, "sorry, comrade commander, the road ahead can't pass. You can only walk the rest of the way." Maybe seeing my face showing an unhappy expression, he quickly added, "just walk a few hundred meters in front, and you can enter the city."
When I heard the driver say that, I estimated that the vehicles in front of me might not be able to drive through, otherwise, he would not dare to help me to leave it only a few hundred meters away from the city. I said to kirilov and Romanov, "commissar, deputy commander, since the car can't go on, let's go down for a walk."
At first, I had some doubts about whether the driver was cheating me. When I got off the bus, what the driver said was true. A long dirt road ahead had turned over because of melting ice and snow. On such a road, even if our driver drove forward reluctantly, he would be trapped if he could not drive far. Several trucks that followed us also stopped, and the commanders and fighters jumped out of the car one after another, lined up beside the car, ready to follow us into the city.
I waved to Yushchenko, called him in front of me and asked him, "Comrade captain, did you see the guards division and the 308th division on the way here?"
Hearing my question, Yushchenko quickly waved his head and replied, "Comrade commander, I didn't see any friendly troops on the way. I think there are two possibilities. One is that they have already entered the city; Second, the route of their march is far away from the route we passed, so we didn't see them. "
Seeing that the security forces had assembled, I waved my head to Yushchenko: "Comrade captain, it seems that the forces have assembled. Let's go now."
Kirilov and Romanov, together with more than 100 fully armed soldiers, cautiously passed the muddy dirt road ahead and walked towards Godunov and travkin, who were waiting in the north of the city.
When we were about ten meters away from the crowd, both gordonov and travkin stepped forward and stood at attention. Gordonov said to us, "report to the commander and commissar, major gordonov. We have successfully completed the task of seizing kafbas. Please give us instructions."
"Well done, comrade major." With a smile, I reached out to Godunov, praised him in public, and said, "you've done a good job. It's so easy to take kafbas down."
While shaking hands with me, Godunov said with embarrassment: "Comrade commander, there are not many Germans in the city. He said that there are two platoons, but the total number is only about 30 people, and the defense is lax. We didn't even find it in the city, so we killed all the Germans in their sleep with cold weapons. "
"Well done, comrade major! What a beautiful job you've done Kirilov went forward to shake hands with gordonov again, and repeated my praise.
After shaking hands with travkin, I found that neither of them paid any attention to Romanov, who was standing next to me in civilian clothes. I coughed and said to them, "major Godunov, Captain travkin, I'd like to introduce you. General Romanov is now the deputy commander of our army."
Deputy commander, when they heard what I said, they were stunned. Then they turned to face Romanov, straightened up and politely said, "Hello, comrade deputy commander."
After the two sides exchanged greetings, it's time to go to the city and go to the headquarters that gordonov prepared for us. As our team was marching along the street, I suddenly heard a woman's scream coming from the building next to me. I stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
A middle-aged woman with a flower scarf and a black cotton padded dress rushed out of the corridor and rushed to give me a bear hug. The tiger backed aunt hugged me tightly, excited incoherent: "I... I didn't... Didn't see... Wrong. Really... Really is our team fighting back? "
Because the middle-aged woman just appeared so suddenly, she hugged me tightly before Yushchenko, who was following me, came back. At the moment, Yushchenko, who came back with an angry face, called two soldiers to come, and was about to pull away the middle-aged woman. I quickly waved to him to show them not to be rash. I patted her on the back with my hand and replied kindly, "yes, we're back."
Hearing my words, my aunt may realize her recklessness and quickly let me go. She stepped back, raised her hand, wiped her tears and said excitedly: "I've been looking forward to you for nearly two years, and finally I've been looking forward to you back. After the German occupied the city, we suffered a lot. When you come back this time, you won't leave again, will you“ No, no, No Without waiting for me to speak, kirilov quickly came forward to help me out. He took the middle-aged woman's hand, shook it a few times, and said, "this time we're back, we're going to drive the Communist aggressors out of our territory." With this episode, on the way to the headquarters, I had a new understanding of Godunov's command ability. He had led the troops to capture the city successfully, but the residents of the city had not found that the troops in the city had changed from German troops to Soviet troops. If there are any more sneak attacks in the future, they can be handed over to major gordonov. Under Godunov's guidance, we came to the headquarters in the city. When entering the gate, travkin introduced to me: "Comrade commander, according to the prisoner's confession, this was their regiment level command post. Two days ago, because of the shortage of troops in front of them, they urgently needed to be supplemented by soldiers. Therefore, except for leaving two platoons to guard materials, the rest of the troops were transferred away." Hearing that travkin mentioned German materials, I couldn't help asking curiously, "Comrade captain, I don't know how many German materials you have seized this time?"“ Comrade commander, please allow me to report to you! " Listening to my question about the seized materials, Godunov quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to say to me, "we have seized all the German materials stored in the warehouse. In addition to a batch of German standard weapons and supporting ammunition, there are German winter uniforms, food, medicine and so on." After listening to Godunov's report, Romanov said with some surprise: "Comrade major, you have seized a lot of things." Then he asked, "is the material safe now? Did you send someone to guard it?"“ Please rest assured, comrade deputy commander. " Godunov politely replied to Romanov: "the German army has built two large military warehouses in the city, where their materials are stored. At present, I have sent 60 soldiers to guard the supplies, which should ensure the safety of the supplies. " When Yushchenko was in charge of the headquarters, Romanov's eyes were sharp, and he found a radio in the corner of the wall. He could not help walking quickly to the waist high old radio. After his fiddling, the sound came from the radio, to be exact, music, Russian music. Hearing the long lost Russian music, kirilov couldn't help walking towards the radio and said curiously, "I didn't expect that the radio in the German headquarters could receive our channel." After listening to kirilov's words, I can't help but be stunned again. My heart says that no matter which country makes the radio, as long as the frequency is adjusted correctly, the corresponding program can be heard. When I just rang to say a few words, a voice came out from the radio: "comrades, dear comrades! Please listen to the emergency war report of the Soviet intelligence agency!... " The sound coming from the radio made me walk to Romanov and lean down to listen to what the announcer wanted to broadcast next The latest war report: Our Army led by general Golikov defeated Marshal Manstein's army head-on and successfully occupied new Moscow Under the attack of our powerful Armored Regiment, one German division was annihilated, two suffered heavy losses, and the enemy left more than 5000 corpses on the battlefield... "When kirilov and Romanov were cheering for the battle report they had just heard, I went back to the wooden table and bent down to find the location of new Moscow“ Comrade oshanina, are you looking for the position of new Moscow Before I found the place I was looking for, Romanov's voice sounded behind me, which made me jump. When he saw that I nodded and accepted his conjecture, he went to the table, pointed to the map with his hand, and said definitely, "new Moscow is here."
