Chapter 946

When bantailiev and gurdyev came to my headquarters, Romanov told them the whole battle plan in detail. After Romanov finished, he turned to me and asked, "Comrade commander, do you have any instructions?"

I nodded, went to the two men, stood still, and said to them solemnly: "two general comrades, at present, the enemy does not know that we have captured kafbas, and the main German force led by Mannstein is also tied down on the other side of the Dnieper River by the forces of Voronezh's front army, which creates a good fighting environment for us. I now declare that the task of seizing kilovgrad is to be completed by the 22nd division of general bandeleev's guards; General gurdyev's 308th division was responsible for the capture of Alexandria. Remember, after you have captured the city, you should quickly add soldiers from the residents (mainly workers). And you, general gurdyev, immediately after you completely occupied the city, you sent your liaison personnel to znaankaduha in the northwest to get in touch with the guerrillas there. "

After listening to what I said, gurdyev hesitated and said, "Comrade commander, as far as I know, the composition of guerrillas in Ukraine is very complex. Although many troops want to fight with the Germans, they will also fight with our troops. How do I know if this guerrilla is trustworthy? "

"General gurdyev," heard this question, Romanov took the initiative to say: "although I have never had contact with the guerrilla commander, but as far as I know, they are still very determined to the German war, and the troops are stationed in the forest most of the time, never to harass the local residents."

"Harassing residents?" As soon as Romanov finished, kirilov immediately asked curiously, "Comrade deputy commander, what's the matter? Can you tell us?"

"Since the political commissar wants to hear it, I'll tell you about it." With a wry smile, Romanov told us about his suppression of several guerrillas: "last autumn, the crops were ripe, and the plain was full of invisible waves of wheat and sunflowers. A small guerrilla group lurked in the sunflower forest because they had been out of food for several days and had to find a way to replenish food. Because this is German territory, they are very cautious, because it is very difficult to rob food from German hands. In addition to killing many people, many bullets will be wasted, which is not easy to come by.

What great patriotic war, for these civilians with guns and a face of hooliganism, is bullshit. As long as they can survive, they dare to do anything that is heartless.

When they found out that in a village a few kilometers away, there were no Germans, not even male villagers, only a group of women. So they rushed into the village and took everything they could, even a group of young women. When they left the village, they brutally killed the remaining villagers and set the village on fire.

These things are very skilful for them. Because in their minds, even if our army reoccupied the place and found the dead bodies of villagers and charred houses, they would put all these crimes on the German head.

However, they were very unlucky this time. I happened to lead the troops to pass by. I met a middle-aged woman who escaped from the village. I knew what had happened from her mouth, so I ordered the troops to rush up decisively to eliminate the bandits under the banner of guerrillas. After interrogating several captured bandits about the series of crimes they committed against our people, I ordered that they all be executed. In the next half a month, I will lead the troops to operate in the vicinity and wipe out the scum of the guerrillas who endanger the residents. "

After Romanov's words were over, everyone understood what happened. Gurdyev quickly said, "I understand. Comrade deputy commander, if this guerrilla is useful to us, I will try to recruit them. If they are bandits who commit crimes, I will not hesitate to wipe them out."

"Comrade General, I very much agree with your consideration." Kirilov took the initiative to express his attitude towards gurdyev's statement: "we can never tolerate the black sheep under the banner of the guerrillas. We must resolutely, cleanly and thoroughly eliminate them." With these words, he turned to look at me again and asked my opinion, "Comrade o'xanina, what's your opinion?"

"Comrade political commissar, my view is the same as yours."

Bantai leiev, who had never said anything, saw that we agreed, so he asked: "Comrade commander, when can we start?"

I raised my hand and looked at my watch. Then I said to them, "two generals, let your troops have a rest. When it's getting dark at 5 p.m., we'll move forward to your respective goals."

"Comrades in chief," Romanov immediately reminded me in good faith after hearing such an order from me, saying, "comrades in chief, the five regiments led by the chief of staff may not arrive on time in the evening, and there will only be direct military units left in the city. Is that appropriate?"

For Romanov's reminder and worry, I waved my hand and said easily: "Comrade deputy commander, don't worry about this. According to my analysis, the German army has no idea that we have occupied kafbas, so we are very safe here. "

"But this is the German transport hub after all. If they have a transport convoy passing by, they will easily find out that the city has been occupied by our army." Romanov patiently explained the interests to me, hoping that I could change the order just now: "as long as they issued a warning to the higher authorities, the German troops would come from all directions, and the enemy would also send out air force to carry out air strikes on our city. At that time, we would be passive."“ Comrade deputy commander, the troops are precious and fast. Now we are going to take advantage of the fact that the German army has not come back to its senses and decisively attack their vital parts, so that they can not look at each other head and tail. This will help our army to take the initiative in the battlefield. " When I saw that some of them still looked worried, I continued: "if we wait until chief of staff Vitkov leads the troops to arrive, and then send two divisions of bantailiev and gurtyev to set out, are you not afraid to delay the fight?" Kirilov and Romanov were silent when I spoke so seriously. I was waving bandeleev back to rest when Pugachev hurried in outside the door. When he came to me, he came close to me and reported the latest information to me. Seeing his action, I said with some displeasure: "Comrade major, if there is anything, you can say it here to let everyone understand what happened." Before fighting, I always advocate that commanders and fighters should understand the purpose and significance of fighting. The advantage of doing so is that our commanders and fighters know what they are doing and what they are going to do, so that the troops can form a cohesive force. Pugachev, who was reproached by me, immediately straightened up and reported to the people present: "we have just received a telegram from the chief of staff. Apart from the troops left to serve as guards, the large troops are moving in an orderly manner. According to the Scout's report, due to the thinning of the ice layer on the river, the German army is looking for a suitable area to rebuild the floating bridge and try to rush across the river. "“ Comrade oshanina, I think this is the enemy's discovery of our army's action. " Kirilov didn't wait for Pugachev to finish, then he interrupted: "maybe they want to follow our troops and rush towards kafbas."“ Comrade political commissar, "I said helplessly," the Germans across the Dnieper River are not blind. How can we hide the actions of tens of thousands of people from their scouts. Maybe there are German scouts in ambush on our retreat route. Go on, major“ The chief of staff also said that according to the reports of our scouts on the east coast, the German imperial division, the skull division and the 11th armored division had turned north, leaving only the 336th infantry division. " I heard that there was only the 336th German division left in zaborosh. I quickly turned around and walked to the table. I leaned over to look at the map on the table. After looking at it for a while, I had a relatively complete plan in my mind, so I called Pugachev to my side and asked him to record my order: "let the chief of staff choose the right place to set up an ambush circle in the process of withdrawal, and strive for the complete annihilation or annihilation of the first German army, which has reduced the attack pressure that kafbas may bear in the future." After recording the order, Pugachev reported to me: "Comrade commander, the retreated troops have consumed almost all their ammunition after repeated battles, and they are in urgent need of replenishment at present."“ It's easy. You can arrange ten trucks and send them some ammunition. " After giving this order, I suddenly thought of the bad road conditions outside the city, and quickly asked: "is the road suitable for heavy trucks?"“ No problem, comrade commander. " "Today, the temperature outside is still very low. I believe most of the areas are still able to pass trucks," Pugachev said with certainty“ That's great. " When Pugachev finished speaking, I urged him: "Comrade major, you should first send a message to the chief of staff, convey my order to him, and inform him that the ammunition supplied for them will be delivered soon. After the telegram is sent, you immediately arrange for the truck to deliver the ammunition to the chief of staff. Troops with insufficient ammunition can't fight. "
