Chapter 1095

Although I assured vatukin and Khrushchev that the German army would not attack today. However, I was worried because I didn't know whether the battle of Kursk would break out earlier than today because of my arrival and the deviation from the real history.

Because of this worry, when tavartkilaze and bere left one after another, I began to get restless. Although the eyes have been staring at the map on the table, but did not see anything.

Danilov saw me in the eye with this look of losing my soul. He raised his hand, gently pushed my shoulder and asked with concern, "Comrade commander, what's the matter with you? Is there something wrong? May I call a military doctor to help you

"It's OK. I'm ok." After listening to Danilov's question, I quickly put my hand to him and said, "I'm just thinking about how to fight this battle well. I don't need to call a military doctor."

"Comrade commander, do you think the German army will not attack us today?" The artillery commander povsky, who asked this question, saw that my eyes turned to him and quickly added: "I am worried that if the German army launches an attack, the close guard rocket battalion deployed behind the 52nd division of the close guard infantry is short of ammunition because it took part in the battle to recover position 4 yesterday. For the sake of safety, shall we withdraw them to the second line of defense first? "

I glared at povsky and said a little viciously: "Comrade Colonel, since I said that the German army will not attack our defense area today, it will certainly not attack. No one is allowed to move to other areas without my order. "

"I see, comrade commander." Seeing that I had signs of anger, povsky had no choice but to say yes. Then he got up and called the artillery regiment in the tavartkilaze division's defense area, ordering them to survey the terrain in the nearby area as soon as possible and mark the firing data, so that the artillery could achieve accurate strike in the battle two days later.

Time goes by without delay. If more than ten years later, the clock on the watch finally points to the third position. After a long breath, I got up from my seat and told bzikov, "Comrade chief of staff, call general tavartkiraze immediately and ask him to send troops to dig Fortifications on the hillside."

With my order, the originally oppressive atmosphere in the room relaxed. With a happy promise, bzikov ran to the next phone and called general tavartkilaze.

As soon as I got through, I heard bzikov say excitedly, "Hello, is that general tavartkiraze? I'm deputy chief of staff bezikov. The commander orders you to send troops immediately to dig Fortifications on the hillside. Yes, send troops immediately and start construction as soon as possible... "

I was listening to bzikov on the phone when the phone rang in front of me, which made me jump. I guessed it might be from the headquarters of the front army, so I grabbed the earphone and stuck it to my ear. At the same time, I said aloud, "Hello, I'm oshanina. Where are you?"

When the other party heard my voice, he was stunned at first, and then he heard vatukin's hearty laughter: "Comrade oshanina, it seems that your judgment is accurate. I just called general rokosovsky and asked him that he was calm there, and I didn't find anything different from the Germans."

When vatukin said this, the stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground. I waited for him to fall behind for a while and asked carefully, "Comrade General, can my ambush plan be implemented?"

"Go on, go on, get people ready." Vatukin may be very happy because our defense line was not attacked by the German army. He even urged me to say: "finally, we will repair all the fortifications and send troops in tonight. In this way, even if the German army moves ahead of time, we can still win

"I understand, Comrade General." I also struck while the iron was hot and said, "in order to ensure that the fortification can be completed before dark, I ask you to allow me to supervise the work in the defense area of the 51st division of Jinwei."

"Agreed." Vatukin agreed very readily, but at the same time he added: "take more people and pay attention to safety."

After I put down the phone, I looked around the room to see who would accompany me to the 51st division. After a tour, I found it inappropriate. Danilov and bezikov, one is the deputy commander and the other is the chief of staff, have a lot to deal with, so they can't accompany me; As an artillery commander, povsky had to coordinate the cooperation among the artillery units distributed in the three lines of defense. Besides, I just went to urge the 51st division of the guards to repair fortifications, and there was no need to use artillery for the time being. It was useless for him to go. Finally, I decided to go alone. Before I left, I sent for major bukov, the deputy head of the guard regiment, to accompany me to the front.

As soon as the car started, bukov, sitting in the front row, turned and politely asked me, "Comrade commander, where are we going?"

"Go to the defense area of the 51st division." I replied briefly.

"To general tavartkiraze's division?" When bukov said this, he looked out of the window, looked at the two cars in front and behind, and said with some worry, "Comrade commander, it can be the most advanced place of our group army. Is it suitable to take this kind of people?"

I know that he is worried about my safety and deeply afraid of bringing such a few people. If we meet a small group of German troops on the road, we can't fight at all. In order to reassure him, I pretended to be relaxed and said: "Comrade major, there are too many people and the target is too big. On the contrary, they will become the targets of small German units. We only have three cars. No matter where we go, it's convenient. Even if we are attacked, we can get out of danger quickly. "

When bukov heard me say this, he didn't speak any more. Instead, he turned to look out of the car window and held the Kalashnikov rifle in his arms.

But everything went well. I came to the defense area of the 51st division of Jinwei safely. I was told by our officers that the division commander, general tavartkiraze, had personally taken people to the hillside where they were stationed to repair the fortifications.

Since general tavartkilaze was not here, and I didn't want to stay in the division headquarters until he came back, I ordered the driver to turn around and drive towards the fortification area.

Under the guidance of the soldiers of the guard division, we came to the hillside where we were ready to ambush. At the moment, general tavartkiraze was standing by the hood of a jeep, pointing to the map spread out in front of him and explaining something to his officers. Seeing my coming, his face showed a surprised expression, and he immediately came up with several subordinates.

He came up to me, raised his hand to salute, and asked in surprise, "Comrade commander, how did you come to me?"

"I'm not at ease, so come and have a look." After I said this, I found that one of the officers standing next to tavartkilaze was major gilgin, the battalion commander under Lukin. I took the initiative to reach out to the major and asked with a smile, "it's major gilgin. I didn't expect that your teachers sent you to repair the fortifications."

Before shaking hands with me, gilgin first raised his hand and saluted me. Then he took my hand with both hands and replied respectfully, "yes, comrade commander, since our regiment's defense area is closest to here, the division commander, after consulting with the commander, transferred our three battalions to be responsible for building fortifications."

Gathering in crowds and groups of shovel and helmet, I saw the group of officers and soldiers on the hillside busy, and countless spades continuously excavated the earth to the sides of the trench.

After squinting for a while, I turned to tavartkilaze and asked, "Comrade General, when will you be able to finish the construction of the fortification?"

Tavartkilaze estimated that he had considered the question I asked for a long time, and immediately replied without hesitation: "at present, the third battalion has completed the excavation of more than 100 meters of trenches. If there is no accident, we should be able to complete all the work before dark."

I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was only after four o'clock. In this season, it will be at least after ten o'clock before it gets dark. They have enough time to finish their work. After nodding, I said to tavartkilaze, "Comrade General, since we are using this hillside to ambush the German army, you must do a good job of camouflage after the completion of the fortification. It is necessary to make sure that even if the enemy's reconnaissance plane flies over your head, you will not be found

Tawalter killazer listened to me and turned his eyes to gilgin. The latter immediately understood, he snapped to attention, assured me: "please rest assured, comrade commander, after the completion of the fortification, our camp will do a good job in camouflage of the fortification, and never let the enemy find our Fortifications on this hillside."

I nodded with satisfaction at gilkin's reply, then shook my head at tavartkiraze and said, "come on, let's go up there and have a look." After that, without waiting for tawalter killazer, they took the lead and walked up the hillside.

When we came to the hillside, the officers and men who were building the fortifications saw us and straightened up to salute us. I nodded and smiled at them as I continued to walk forward.

Walking, I saw some young soldiers sitting by the mound resting. As we walked towards them, they quickly stood up. I thought that on the way here, all the other officers and men were doing a lot of work, but these soldiers were sitting here to have a rest. I couldn't help feeling dissatisfied. So I asked angrily, "comrades of soldiers, I don't know which of you can tell me what you are doing when your comrades are busy digging around?"

Hearing my question, several soldiers looked at each other, and no one spoke. Fearing that I would lose my temper, gilgin stepped forward to me, pointed to one of the little soldiers and said in a loud voice, "Vasiliev, what's the matter?"

When the soldier named Vasiliev heard his battalion commander call his name, he stepped forward and replied with a red face: "report to the battalion commander, we are tired of work and have just sat down to have a rest. My comrades in arms asked me to tell them stories. I didn't see you here because I was too involved in them. Please forgive me! "

"Tell a story, tell what story?" After gilgin glanced at me, he began to teach each other: "remember, you are a soldier, not a writer, not a poet. Even if you want to be a writer and poet, you have to wait until the war is won. Do you understand, Vasiliev? "

"I see, comrade major." When Vasiliev answered, he buried his head in shame. Vasiliev, this name, when I first heard it, I felt very familiar. Later, I thought that there were many people calling this name in Russia, so I didn't care. At this moment, when I heard gilgin call his name again, I couldn't help thinking about a famous man who also served in the Soviet army at this time. So I went up to Vasiliev, put a hand on his shoulder and asked in a friendly way, "Comrade Vasiliev, can you tell me your name?"“ Comrade report commander, "Vasiliev looked up at me and answered with a red face," my full name is Boris livovitch Vasiliev. " When I heard the full name, I almost sat on the ground. Oh, my God, it's incredible. I didn't expect to meet Vasiliev, the author of "Li Ming is quiet here".
