Chapter 981

Less than half an hour later, the operator handed a newly received telegram to Romanov. Seeing that Romanov's face was blue and his hands were shaking after reading the telegram, I suddenly got up with an uncertain premonition. I quickly stood up, walked up to him and asked nervously, "Comrade General, what's the matter?" At the same time, he reached for the telegram in his hand.

Romanov looked at me, handed me the telegram and said, "it's the information from our troops sent to lengdi town. According to our interrogation of the prisoners, ten kilometers southwest of the city, there is a town called lengdi, in which a company of Dongfang battalion is stationed. I sent a battalion of 171 division, disguised as German army, to disarm them. "

I didn't look at the phone that Romanov handed me. I handed it to kirilov and asked, "did the enemy see through the troops we went to disarm?"

After hearing this, Romanov shook his head and said, "I don't think so. According to the following commander's report, as soon as they entered the town, the sentries on the street fired warning shots, and the two fire points at the entrance of the town also fired, injuring seven or eight of our soldiers."

"Comrade General, do you mean that the garrison in the town shot decisively as soon as they found our troops?" When I heard what he said, I found something strange and began to ask the details: "did our soldiers shout at them and give them their disguised German names?"

After listening to my question, Romanov took off his hat, scratched the back of his head, and then replied, "after the enemy opened fire, our commanders and fighters immediately concealed themselves and gave them our camouflage number. They not only didn't stop fire, but also used mortars."

"Did the enemy see through the camouflage of our troops?" After reading the telegram, kirilov asked, "but I don't think it's like that. As soon as our troops appeared, the enemy opened fire on them. What's going on? "

I sat down at the table and tried to think about this strange thing. I felt that the response of Dongfang camp was too unreasonable. If you see other troops appear, you shoot them. It may be the wrong signal sent by the sentry because of nervousness. But their next action was even more abnormal, especially after our commanders and fighters reported the fake German number, their shooting was even more fierce, and even used mortars.

After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly had a strange idea in my mind. The reason why this army saw the appearance of the troops dressed up by the German army and fired was that it saw that the current situation was not good for the German army and had plans to turn back on the water in private? As soon as this idea appeared, my heart beat faster.

I stood up and said to Romanov, "Comrade General, please immediately send a telegram to the commanders in lengdi Town, so that they can show our true identity to the enemy."

"What? Who we really are? " Romanov was stunned by my shocking news. He was stunned for a long time before he hesitated and asked, "Comrade commander, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Carry out your orders, Comrade General." I nodded and said to Romanov calmly.

"Be careful, Rita Looking at Romanov turning to carry out my order, kirilov quickly stopped him, and then persuaded me: "do you think about it again?"

"I have thought it over very clearly, comrade political commissar." Although I think it may have an unexpected effect to report our real number to the enemy, I couldn't explain it to them clearly for a moment and a half, so I waved to Romanov and urged him: "go and report it quickly. When you shout to the enemy, tell them the number of our troops."

But Romanov nodded. When he went to send the message, kirilov grabbed my arm and took me to sit down. At the same time, he whispered, "Rita, you are crazy. We are now trying to hide our whereabouts, but you have to tell our real name to a group of enemies who have betrayed our motherland. Is that all right? "

"Comrade political commissar, our troops and the enemy in the town have been on fire. Even if we don't give the real number, the fighting will continue." At this point, I shrugged my shoulders and said with disapproval, "in this case, why don't we gamble? It's just because we want to fight back."

"Backwater?" When kirilov heard this, he was stunned and then retorted, "no way. Although there used to be two eastern battalions who surrendered to us, I don't think they have heard of us in the remote areas. How can they have the idea of fighting against the water? "

"Comrades of the political commissar, take it easy." Seeing Romanov coming towards us, I quickly cut off the topic and said, "we'll soon know the answer. Now the first thing we need to know is how many towns around obukeshiv have fallen into our hands in silence."

While waiting for a call back from the front, Romanov patiently told us that the towns around the city had been successfully occupied by us, how many defenders were there, which army were they, and so on.

When I waited for him to finish his report and just wanted to ask which division he was going to arrange to play the main role in the attack on Kiev, the telegraph operator quickly came to him and handed him the newly received telegram.

I knew that this telegram must have something to do with lengdezhen. I stared at Romanov nervously, trying to judge the situation there from the change of expression on his face. Romanov read the telegram quickly, with a look of amazement on his face, and then a look of joy on his face.

Seeing the joy on his face, I knew that the matter of lengdi town might have been properly dealt with, so I asked with a smile, "Comrade General, is there any information about lengdi town?"

Hearing this, Romanov quickly handed the telegram to kirilov and replied with a smile, "yes, comrade commander. You're right. It's really from lengdi town. "

Although I suspect that the enemy may have stopped resisting and surrendered immediately after knowing the real number of our army, I still tentatively asked, "has the enemy surrendered?"

Romanov nodded and said excitedly: "when our commanders yelled at the town that we were general oshanina's troops, the enemies in the town immediately stopped resisting and, under the leadership of their company commander, came out to surrender to our troops."

After reading the telegram, kirilov and other Romanov said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Rita's reputation on the enemy's side was so big. As soon as her name was reported, the enemy immediately surrendered."

Although I listened to kirilov's words with a smile on my face, I had a bad feeling in my heart. My name is known by many middle and senior German commanders in the German army, but we don't know much about it. Every time I come into contact with a new commander, I have to introduce myself again and again.

I turned to Romanov and said, "Comrade General, since the troops of the eastern battalion have surrendered, we should inform our commanders to disperse the officers and men of this company into their troops. By the way, there is the company commander. Send someone to send him to me immediately. I want to have a chat with him. "

"Yes Romanov agreed with a smile, went to the operator's side, and told him to send a message to the commander of lengdi town.

This time, as soon as Romanov walked away, kirilov gave me a thumbs up and said sincerely, "Rita, you are so wonderful to know that the enemy will lay down their arms and surrender as soon as they hear our name. Can you tell me how you judged it? "

"Comrade political commissar, it's very simple." Anyway, when the matter is settled, I have a sense of leisure to explain to kirilov why I made that decision: "you may remember the original telegram. As soon as the sentries in the town found our troops, they immediately fired warning shots, and the fire points outside the town also opened fire."

"Yes, I remember it in the telegram." Kirilov nodded as he listened and urged me: "you go on talking about your judgment. I'm listening."

"If it was the initial firing, it was a misunderstanding. But when our troops gave a false number, and it was the number of a force that had just been eliminated by us. In this case, the enemy in the town can't judge whether the serial number is true or false. After hearing the report, I boldly judged that since the enemy still did not cease fire after hearing the number, and even increased the investment of firepower, there is only one possibility left, that is, they are ready to fight back. "

"That's right, Rita. You have a good analysis." When kirilov heard what I said, he immediately realized it, and added to me on his own initiative: "no wonder you are so confident that you want to order general Romanov to inform the troops to report the real number of our army to the enemy. That's what happened."

Back at the table, Romanov's face was almost bursting with laughter, which surprised kirilov and I. Kirilov couldn't help but ask, "general Romanov, what's the happy event that makes you so happy?"

"Commander, commissar, it's a great event." Romanov put the telegram in his hand in front of us, and then said: "the defecting company commander took the initiative to tell our commander that there was a hidden military warehouse left by our army in the forest near the town, and took the initiative to act as a guide, but our commander went to check."

Romanov's words remind me that when I led a small team to reconnoiter behind enemy lines, I found a huge warehouse and armed four or five hundred rescued officers and men with the weapons. I think that the war has been going on for almost two years, and our military warehouse still exists in the enemy's rear.

I took a deep breath and asked Romanov in a smooth tone: "Comrade General, what weapons and equipment are there in this hidden warehouse?"

"Comrade commander, if we equip our army with these weapons, the overall strength of the army will be greatly enhanced." After Romanov said these words, in order to let kirilov and I have a more vivid understanding, he picked up the telegram and read the above equipment data for us: "all the underground warehouses we found were full of armored vehicles, and there were 30 tanks and 200 trucks, all of which were unused. There are cannons, anti tank guns, mortars, heavy and heavy machine guns, submachine guns and rifles. After a preliminary inventory, these weapons should be equipped according to the standards of our two infantry divisions. Because there are too many bullets, shells and grenades, they are now being counted. "

After listening to the telegram, I stood up from my seat and told Romanov in a hurry: "Comrade General, we should send more troops immediately to get these weapons and ammunition out as soon as possible. Tanks and armored vehicles, in particular, are good things. When we attack Kiev, if we have these technical equipment, then the fighting process can be greatly accelerated. " After listening to my instructions, Romanov immediately reported his thoughts to me: "Comrade commander, I plan to send the 171st division to receive this batch of equipment, and at the same time send the 22nd brigade of tanks. After all, not everyone can drive tanks. Do you have anything else to add? "“ What can I add? " After repeating Romanov's words, I jokingly said, "Comrade General, have you forgotten that there are all kinds of guns in the warehouse? It happened that the artillery of the artillery regiment of lieutenant colonel kaverin was insufficient. It was just right that they could hand over the captured artillery and anti tank artillery to them. This time, go to the receiving troops and add in lieutenant commander kaverin Romanov nodded, picked up the phone on the desk, dialed number one, and said to the receiver, "Hello, 171 division headquarters? I'm general Romanov. Please call your division commander. I have an important task to give him After hearing the series of seizures reported by Romanov, kirilov was so excited that he grabbed my arm, shook it hard and said, "great, Rita, that's great. If our troops have this kind of equipment, even if they are in the enemy's rear for another month or two, there will be no problem. "“ Comrade political commissar, haven't you been in the enemy's rear enough? " I said to him with a smile: "what we have to do now is to seize Kiev as soon as possible, and wedge a nail into the enemy's defense depth to make them restless day and night. As long as we can hold Kiev, the Voronezh front army and the southwest front army in Ukraine can quickly come to join us. With Kiev as a foothold, we can send more troops here. In that case, the elimination of the German army in Ukraine is just around the corner. "
