Chapter 1098

Although the results of this battle can be reported to watugin by telegraph. However, I feel that some things should be explained more clearly on the phone, so I called tavartkilaze and asked him to accompany me back to the division headquarters of the 51st division of the guards. I wanted to report the fighting situation to watujing personally through the division's dedicated telephone line.

After the phone was connected, when I heard watujing's voice coming from the receiver, I immediately said politely, "Hello, senior general! I'm o'shanina. I have something to report to you immediately. "

"It's comrade o'shanina." Vatukin's voice sounded very happy: "I think you call me at this time, there must be good news to tell me!"

"Yes, Comrade General." I thought he would talk to me in a very serious tone when he heard my voice, but his tone was unprecedented friendly. I guess he guessed that I called him to report good news. After taking a deep breath, I said, "our ambush has come to a successful end. We have completely annihilated a German armored detachment and destroyed 12 tanks and 20 armored vehicles, one of which is the latest German Tiger tank."

"How are our casualties?" Watujing asked cautiously when I finished.

"Comrade General, since the results of the war have not been counted, I can not tell you the accurate data for the time being." Although I also wanted to tell watujing that our army had no casualties in this ambush, I was worried that some infantry soldiers might accidentally fall or sprain their feet when they rushed down the hillside, so I cautiously said, "but I can tell you for sure that none of them died."

"What, no sacrifice?" Vatukin's voice sounded a little excited.

"Yes," I said after telling the whole battle all over again, and specially emphasized: "because the German army was attacked by our long-range artillery during the March. As soon as the shelling was over, the new tanks hidden on the hillside launched a surprise attack from their flanks. It can be said that they had no strength to fight back, so they were completely annihilated by us. "

When I mentioned the new tanks, vatujing's voice became serious again. He solemnly asked, "how did our new tanks perform in battle?"

"Excellent performance, Comrade General!" We should know that the t-5455 tank from later generations far exceeds all the tanks in this period in terms of armor, firepower and mobility. The Tiger tank had an absolute advantage over the Soviet T-34, but against this new type of tank, it was just like a short man who challenged the giant. They were not at the same level at all“ Only the Tiger Tank fired a shot and narrowly hit one of our tanks. But there was nothing wrong with the hit tank. Instead, the German Tiger tank was killed with one shot. "

After listening to what I said, vatujing said anxiously: "Comrade oshanina, I think you should go to the battlefield in person to see the damage of this tank and whether there are crew members, and then report to me. Do you understand? "

"I see, Comrade General." When I finished, I politely asked, "can I go now?"

"Go ahead, go ahead." Vatukin agreed very readily, and specially told him: "after you check the damage of the new tank, report to me immediately. Remember, don't telegraph, just contact me directly by telephone. "

I put down the phone, turned to look at tavartkilaze and povsky standing behind me, then said to them with a smile: "two, the commander of the front army ordered me to go to the battlefield and check the damage of the tank just hit by the German army. Would you like to accompany me?"

"It's no use saying that, comrade commander." Hearing my question, they immediately showed a sunny smile and answered in unison, "of course, I'd like to."

When we drove to the battlefield, povsky, who was sitting in the co driver's seat, turned to me with regret and said, "Comrade commander, although our artillery firepower, under the guidance of artillery observers, covered the enemy's armored forces, because their march line was too long, there were still one third of tanks and armored vehicles, Survived such a heavy shelling. "

General tavartkilaze, who was sitting next to me, said with a smile after listening to povsky's words: "Comrade Colonel, you are too picky about our artillery. You should know that although one third of the German tanks and armored vehicles survived the gunfire, they have almost lost their fighting capacity. You don't see that when our tanks attack, except for the Tiger tank, the remaining tanks and armored vehicles don't even have the chance to fire. They are all destroyed by our tanks. "

"Comrade General, I don't agree with you." Although tavartkilaze was telling the truth, povsky was still unconvinced and said: "today, the German army was attacked by our sudden artillery fire in the process of marching. It's completely understandable that they didn't have the strength to fight back. If one day they will send out hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles to launch battle formations on the broad plain of our front defense and attack our defensive positions. Do you think we can block their attack? "

I didn't stop the argument between povsky, the artillery commander, and general tavartkilaze, because they just had different views on some tactical issues and expressed their own opinions. They didn't speak ill of each other because of their personal preferences. In this case, I would sit quietly and listen to the quarrel between them with a smile on my face.

After a while, our car suddenly stopped. I looked out of the window and saw that I had already arrived at the battlefield, so I said with a smile to the two people who were still arguing: "OK, don't argue any more. The battlefield is here. Let's go and have a look first. " With that, he took the lead in pushing the door open and walking down.

Looking around, there are big craters more than one person deep, and there are still plumes of smoke. The wreckage of the tank or armored vehicle overturned next to the crater was still burning, and there was a choking smell.

Major gilgin, the third battalion commander, noticed our arrival and ran over from a distance. After waiting for him to salute, I asked, "major, are there any casualties in your battalion?"

"No, none of them." After answering my question, gilkin went on to report that "our battalion is cleaning the battlefield and has captured about 30 prisoners, most of whom are seriously injured. What should we do?"

When I heard gilgin's request for instructions, and before I could figure out how to reply, tawalter killazer, who was next to me, began to give orders to his subordinates: "major, do you still need to ask for instructions on such matters? Except for those who were not injured or slightly injured, the rest of the seriously injured were shot one by one and buried with other bodies on the spot. "

"Yes Although gilgin agreed very readily, he didn't move his foot, and he turned his eyes on me, as if waiting for my further orders.

I am not comfortable with tawalter killazer's command, which sounds a little inhuman. However, on second thought, I felt that tavartkilaze's order was quite correct in this case. After all, most of the wounded German soldiers were burned. Even if they were brought back to the capture camp, they would not survive in the end. Instead of letting them waste our army's precious medicine, it's better to give them one shot at a time to free them from their pain. Thinking of this, I said to gilgin, who was still standing in front of us, "major, what are you doing here? Don't you go to carry out the orders of your teachers?"

With my permission, gilkin promised to turn around and leave. I suddenly thought of something, and quickly stopped him: "major, do you know where the tank that was just shelled by German tanks is?"

At the foot of the hillside a hundred meters away, gilgin pointed to a well parked line of tanks and said, "Comrade commander, count from this side. The second one is." At this point, he couldn't help saying with emotion, "he was hit by a German tank at such a close position and was destroyed by another tank. I didn't expect that this new type of tank had nothing to do with it."

When several of us came to the tank column, the tank soldiers were clearing the turf and soil on the tank body. Two tank captains came up to us, raised their hands and said, "Comrade commander, Captain basduhof (lukbas), commander of the 82nd (101st) tank brigade, has reported to you that the tank company has completed its combat mission and is in the process of recuperation. Please give instructions!"

When I heard the names of the tank brigades 82 and 101, I couldn't help laughing. It was a coincidence that they had the same name as the two most famous airborne divisions of the US Army. I just didn't know if they could make great achievements in the battle of Kursk. I nodded to them with a smile and asked, "where is the tank that was just hit by the German army?"

The broad shouldered, chubby captain on the left immediately replied, "report commander, the tank hit is our company's tank. Although at close range by German tanks hit the turret, but nothing

I knew that the tank was OK for a long time, but I was worried that some crew members would be injured by the huge impact of the shell. So as soon as I heard that the tank belonged to the 101 tank brigade, I quickly asked lukbas, "Comrade captain, when the tank was shot, did the crew members suffer any casualties?"

"When the tank was shot, chief sergeant roschugin accidentally hit it on the head." "However, the injury is not serious and has been wrapped up," lukbas said in his report

After listening to lukbas's report, out of concern for his subordinates, I specially ordered him to say, "call him over. I'll see how his injury is."

When lukbas heard me say this, he immediately turned to the busy tank soldiers not far away and yelled, "Hello, Sergeant roschugin, come to me."

With his cry, a short tank soldier who was cleaning up the soil jumped from the tank body and trotted to me. He raised his hand and saluted me. He reported to me in a shrill voice, "Hello, commander comrade, tank Sergeant Ross Chujin, please give me instructions."

Looking at the thin and handsome tank sergeant in front of me, I suddenly felt a strange feeling. I glanced at his gauze wrapped forehead and asked with concern, "Comrade sergeant, are you seriously injured?"

Ruschujin replied with a smile, "I've scratched a little skin. The injury is not serious. The health worker has bandaged it up for me. It won't take me a few days to recover."

From his smile, I noticed a trace of charm, the strange feeling in my heart became more intense. After I looked him up and down, I stopped my eyes at his neck and unexpectedly found that there was no Adam's apple. Seeing this, a strange idea suddenly appeared in my mind, so I said, "sergeant, I have something to tell you. Come with me."

When I finished speaking, I walked towards the jeep. Seeing tavartkilaze and povsky trying to catch up, I quickly raised my hand to stop them and politely said, "you stay here first. I have something to talk to the chief in private." Even though tavartkiraze didn't know why I did it, they still nodded and stood in the same place without moving their feet. I took roschukin to the jeep. The driver in the jeep thought I had something to tell him. He got out of the jeep and stood straight by the jeep. I took a look at him and said, "Comrade driver, I have something to say with the sergeant in private. You should avoid it first." The driver raised his hand and ran away. When roschugin and I were left by the jeep, I looked at him and asked, "sergeant, tell me, what's your name?" Roschugin didn't know why I asked. He replied with a blank face: "Comrade report commander, my name is Alexander roschugin, a tank commander of the 101 tank brigade." I heard his answer, snorted, and then said, "chief, what I asked is your real name." After hearing my question, roschukin's face immediately showed a flustered expression, but he still said to me, "Comrade commander, I don't know what you are talking about. My name is Alexander roschukin." I looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so I said to him with a straight face, "come on, chief, don't keep hiding any more. I can see it all. To tell you the truth, is your name roschugina or something else? " Ruschujin was stunned by what I said. After a while, she said, "Comrade commander, how do you see that?" Seeing that she admitted the fact that she was a woman, I said with a smile: "although you cover it up very well, from the smile you just had, I noticed that you are different. Although it's hard to find out that you are a woman from your figure, I can easily identify you by your words and actions. " At this point, I couldn't help saying with emotion, "are the soldiers in your tank blind? I've been with you for so long, but I haven't found out you're a woman? "
