Seeing that we are still focusing on him and knowing that we still want to know the following story, shamrih went on to say: "after winter, we are still fighting against the Communist aggressors. The enemy who has suffered repeated failures has no choice but to report us in their reports because they can not grasp our whereabouts, It is said that our army was airlifted by the Soviet army from a secret base in the rear to make an attack, and then transported back in the same way. "
Kirilov couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He looked around and said, "comrades, have you heard that? The enemy has no choice but to tell such a big lie to their own people, so that the morale of the army can be shaken. "
"Political commissar, please don't speak. Listen to captain shamrih." Deeply afraid that kirilov's words would distract everyone's attention, I immediately interrupted him and urged shamrih: "Comrade captain, please go on."
Shamrih nodded, then added: "our guerrillas are supported by the residents. They accept us voluntarily and invite us to their villages for rest. Even if the SS and the field police surround the village, we don't have to move or hide, because these loyal friends will disguise us as shoemakers, fishermen and even farmers until the search is over and the area returns to normal. And then they helped to get the weapons and equipment out of the hiding places and send us out of the village. "
"Then how did you leave Belarus and come to Ukraine?" When witkov heard that sharmlich had always mentioned a series of achievements they had made, but he did not mention why they came to Ukraine, he could not help asking.
Hearing this question again, shamrih blushed to the root of his neck and answered with shame: "after the war in Ukraine subsided, the German army dispatched many troops into Belarus to strengthen the search and encirclement of our area. Under such circumstances, an unstable element appeared in our army. Because he could not stand the hardships of long-term fighting and coveted the rich rewards of the German army, he secretly ran to the German army and informed the enemy of our intelligence. As a result, the enemy immediately sent out two armored regiments, surrounded our camp and launched an attack from several directions at the same time.
Fortunately, the local villagers found out when the enemy deployed troops. They came to us all night and informed us, so that we could have enough time to move to the new camp and let the enemy's encirclement and suppression plan fall through the air. "
When I heard that there was a traitor in the army, I immediately thought that his guerrillas were bound to suffer heavy casualties under the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, and finally retreated to Ukraine with their troops when there was no way out. However, when I heard him say that they got the information in advance and jumped out of the enemy's encirclement before the enemy's encirclement, I couldn't help but "eh". However, I didn't interrupt him casually, but listened to him quietly.
"... an empty bandit becomes more and more crazy. Under the guidance of traitors, they retaliated against the villages that had helped us. In addition to the common way of gathering all the villagers together and shooting them with machine guns, they also developed many ways of killing people. For example, for villages with a small number of people, they will let the villagers dig a big pit themselves, then push everyone into the pit and throw grenades into it until they kill everyone. There is also a village in the mining area. The bandits divided the villagers into small groups and carried them to the shaft one by one. They pushed them down the shaft tens of meters deep one by one. The Germans were deeply afraid that so many people would be thrown into the shaft at the same time and not all of them would die. Finally, they pushed down two coal trucks. I arrived there three days later with my troops. Standing by the well, I could still clearly hear the voices of those who had not died... "At this point, shamrih couldn't go on because he choked.
"Damned bandits!" When kirilov heard this, he slapped the table, stood up and said in a loud voice, "comrades commander, remember, remember the heinous crimes they have committed against the people of our motherland. Sooner or later, we will pay them back the blood debt. "
Kirilov's words immediately aroused everyone's resonance. Vetkov then said indignantly, "we're going to kill all these damn invaders. Sooner or later, we're going to burn all their Berlin and blow up their Hitler!"
After everyone had finished speaking, shamrih continued to talk about what happened later: "in order to prevent the German from continuing to retaliate madly, and to protect the villagers who support us, we did not stay in the village any more, but camped in the forest or valley. Because of the difficult conditions, more and more people who were not firm in their stand left the team one after another and became shameful deserters and traitors.
After several successive encirclement and suppression by the German army, we lost a lot of troops. Now there are less than 70 troops left in the army of more than 500. After my discussion with the instructor, we decided to leave Belarus and go to a new area to carry out guerrilla warfare. So we came to the banks of the Dnieper River and went south into Ukraine.
When we arrived in the Chernobyl area, we found that the enemy's strength here was weak and a large number of guerrillas were active. Originally, we planned to establish a new guerrilla area here, but soon I found out that many of the so-called guerrillas were running dogs of the Germans. They not only did not fight the Germans, but also sent troops to rob villages everywhere, and even had several conflicts with us. In this case, we had to choose a new guerrilla area. After several twists and turns, we finally came to the znaankaduha area. From the geographical position, after crossing the Dnieper River northward, as long as we continue to go northward, we can join forces with our troops. So we will stop here, actively expand our strength, and plan to join forces at the right time, To join the main force of our army to the north. "
After listening to shamrih's talk about their fighting process, I looked at the flag held in my arms by the instructor, saberwalenko. A thought suddenly came to my mind: because the 84th brigade of tanks was completely destroyed, there were no armored forces in the army. Before the higher authorities replenish the new troops for Colonel bere, can we gather the remaining tanks in the army and rebuild a tank brigade 22, with the commander of the brigade being represented by Colonel bere, and the tank battalion of major pelsken formally incorporated into the formation of the tank brigade.
As soon as the idea came out, I decided to put it into practice immediately, so I turned to kirilov and Vitkov and said, "political commissar, chief of staff, I have an idea to talk about."
Hearing what I had to say, kirilov said with a smile, "go ahead, Rita."
"I'm going to reorganize captain shamrih's tank 22nd brigade." With these words, I paid special attention to the expressions of captain shamrih and saberwalenko, who were both whispering with excitement because of the unexpected good news. He continued: "the three divisions of the army have their own tank battalions. Although our tanks are almost exhausted at present, we can still gather the tank soldiers who have lost their tanks and build up the framework of the tank brigade first. The rest of the tanks can wait until the conditions are ripe."
"What about the 84th brigade?" After listening to what I said, wittkov asked: "although all the tanks were lost in the battle some time ago, after all, the brigade commander, Colonel berey, and many tank soldiers are still alive. Do you want them to cancel the number?"
"Comrade chief of staff, didn't you hear clearly just now?" Lieutenant commander svelin, who had not finished speaking, said to wittkov: "the commander said that after the reconstruction of the tank 22nd brigade, Colonel berey was only allowed to act as brigade commander for the time being. Once the tank 84th brigade has completed the replenishment, other people will take over the post."
I nodded and agreed with svelin's interpretation. Then I said to wittkov, "although there are only a few of them left in the tank 22nd brigade, and none of them has a tank, they have overcome all difficulties and saved their glorious flag. To this end, we should rebuild the tank brigade as soon as possible."
"I agree with the commander!" After I finished, kirilov was the first to make his stand. He said to all the people, "the officers and men of the 22nd tank brigade, after losing contact with the main forces, fought tenaciously in the enemy's rear for nearly two years. I think they should be rewarded for their achievements. In the shortest time, the reconstruction of this heroic tank brigade is their greatest affirmation. If I say so, do you have different opinions? "
As soon as he finished, I immediately expressed my attitude: "I have no problem!"
Then sverin and Pugachev also successively said, "I agree with the commissar's opinion!"“ I firmly agree with the commander and commissar! "
After several people who are qualified to express their opinions, wittkov, who is half a beat slow, also said: "I have no different opinions. But should we ask the superior for instructions on this matter? "
"To whom?" When I heard wittkov say such irresponsible words, I was discontented and a little displeased, so I asked: "don't you know that our group army headquarters has been defeated, and what orders are given by the head of the front army? And at this time, rashly send a report to the superior, once the intelligence is intercepted by the German army, then all our details will be exposed to the enemy. "
As for my consistent practice of cutting first and then playing, vetkov, who had already had immunity, had no choice but to say, "well, comrade commander, since this is the case, let's set up the 22nd tank brigade first, wait for the right time, and then report to the higher authorities."
Seeing that wittkov could understand my intention, I was still a little proud. Then I told Pugachev, "major, I'll give you the responsibility for rebuilding the tank brigade. You hurry up, all the tanks of the divisions are assembled. By the way, Colonel bere, who is still recovering, you should go to inform him in person to see if he can attend the reconstruction ceremony in person. "
"What about major perskin's tank battalion?" When I finished, Pugachev asked another key question: "they are now stationed in the village of drofia. If they withdraw, will it affect the defense of the area?"
"Bring them back." I think back to the battle a few hours ago, and I think it's a bit like painting a snake and adding fuel to it to set up a tank unit there. We have just annihilated all the attacking German troops. We don't know how long it will take for them to launch a new attack. Instead of leaving them idle, they should be transferred back to the city to help defend. When I made up my mind, I said to Pugachev, "major, bring them back first. If the tank brigade does not even have a tank to rebuild such a large site, what's the matter? "
Then, I said to the three of them who were tearful beside him, "Comrade captain, you three should follow the major. If you need any help, just tell him that the major will help you deal with it."
"Thank you, thank you, Comrade General." After thanking me excitedly, the three men left the headquarters behind Pugachev.
When there were only three Army leaders and political commissar of the 308th division in the headquarters, I looked at him and asked, "Comrade commander, can you tell me something about Alexandria?" The reason why I asked this question now is that I found that he was very indifferent when I entered the headquarters. I knew that there was no major event in the defense area of the 308th division, and he would not bring three commanders to the military headquarters in person“ Comrade commander, "upon hearing my question, swilling quickly got up from his seat and reported to me," the enemy who rushed to the city from several directions and made a firefight with our garrison, then they left one after another. According to the report of the scouts, the enemy has only left a small number of troops in the north, West and east of the city to monitor the movements of our army, while the rest of the main forces are turning north and crossing the Dnieper River on a large scale. "“ Comrade commander, since the main force of the enemy is crossing the river to the north, what shall we do next? " Witkov took a look at my reaction, and then carefully asked, "do you want to continue to stick to the present two cities, or do you want to find the right fighter to attack the enemy, or do you want to find the right location to cross the river to join the friendly forces?" After thinking for a moment, I replied, "as long as the German troops on this side of the river are reduced, the pressure on our next action, whether in war or defense, will be greatly reduced. Since the German army has left its troops to monitor our army, let's hold still for the time being. After the German army has crossed the river, we will find another chance to make a havoc in their rear. "
