Chapter 1100

When tavartkilaze and povsky returned to the jeep, they told me a piece of news: General apanashchenko, deputy commander of the front army, had left the regimental headquarters of the 309 regiment and taken his limited subordinates to inspect other defensive areas.

Although I think of apanashchenko's side, there is only one driver and one guard, I am very worried about his safety. But on second thought, since he left without saying goodbye and obviously didn't want more people to go with him, I didn't want to make fun of myself. I decided to go back to my headquarters as soon as possible. There might be a lot of work waiting for me to deal with.

When the three of us drove back to the division headquarters of the 51st division of the guards, I said to tavartkilaze, who was sitting beside us: "Comrade General, although our defense front is too wide, it is impossible to put enough troops in all places. However, in areas where we focus on defense, especially in front of several large positions, we must lay minefields and draw barbed wire. Even if such facilities will be lost after the enemy's shelling and bombing, they can also prevent the German infantry from approaching our positions as recklessly as before. Do you understand? "

"I see," general tavartkilaze continued in embarrassment, "Comrade commander, but we are in urgent need of a large number of mines and barbed wire." As he said this, he glanced at povsky in the front row. "As far as I know, the transport group's cars are busy transporting shells all this time."

Povsky, who had been sitting in the front row, still looked out of the window. Hearing what tavartkilaze said, he immediately turned around and said with great dissatisfaction: "Comrade division, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that once the German army attacks us, the artillery deployed in your rear can provide you with enough artillery support. If there were no shells, the artillery in the artillery's hand would be a pile of scrap iron. "

"But if there is no minefield and barbed wire in front of the position, the German infantry can easily rush to our position." Tavartkilaze retorted unconvinced: "if the Germans rush into the trench and fight with our commanders and fighters, then the artillery fire will lose its use."

I don't know if there was any deep hatred between them in their previous lives. Anyway, they pinched each other as soon as they met, which made me upset. In order not to let them quarrel any more, I said aloud, "OK, be quiet. Don't quarrel any more."

After they were quiet, I first asked povsky, who was sitting in the front row. After all, his position was relatively high: "Comrade Colonel, if he was deployed as another commander, he would certainly not listen to any explanation from the other side. Instead, he would scold the other side and threaten to take him to the military court for dereliction of duty. But in order to find out what happened, I said patiently, "yes, comrade lieutenant. But I want to hear the real answer, not the lie you made up to cover up your mistakes. "

"Comrade General, I will tell you the real reason." Molochov's expression became more serious. "We have been shipping military supplies for 15 consecutive days and nights. For 15 consecutive days and nights, I didn't stop for maintenance or sleep. As soon as the car is full, we will pull the military supplies out of the Quartermaster station in Kursk and send them to the front line where they are needed... "

"Well, needless to say, comrade lieutenant." I didn't wait for him to finish, then I raised my hand to stop him, because needless to say what he said later, I knew I had wronged them. People are not machines. After 15 days of continuous rotation, it is estimated that even trucks carrying goods and materials can't stand it, let alone these living people“ I get it. I'm very sorry for my misunderstanding of you just now. " With that, I stepped back, raised my hand and saluted him solemnly. At the same time, I said aloud, "comrades of the transport team, you have worked hard!"

"Comrade General," said morochov, a little hoarse with excitement, "these are the things we should do. However, comrade general, I beg you, can my soldiers sleep a little longer? Even ten minutes is fine. After all, they haven't had a rest for 15 days. "

I looked up at my watch and announced to him, "Comrade lieutenant, I can give you an hour. After all, it's hard for you to recover if you don't rest for a while. " Then I turned to tavartkilaze and said, "Comrade General, I think they may drink cold water and chew dry bread on their way all this time, so you should go back to the division headquarters as soon as possible and arrange for someone to bring them some hot tea."

"All right, comrade commander." Tavartkilaze took a look at the tired morochov standing in front of us, nodded, turned and walked towards the nearest jeep, ready to drive back to the division headquarters as soon as possible.

When bukov learned that the Autobots were sleeping by the side of the road, not because they were lazy, but because they were too tired, he arranged for people to stand guard around the motorcade, so that no one would disturb them.

And I stayed where I was talking with lieutenant morochov. I looked at the young lieutenant in front of me and asked with a smile, "Comrade lieutenant, when did you join the army?"

Molochov replied, "report general, I joined the army in September 1941."

I took a look at the rank of lieutenant on his shoulder badge and the medal on his chest. However, he accidentally found that the medal on his chest was actually a medal for "defending Stalingrad". He was surprised and asked, "how come, comrade lieutenant, have you ever participated in the battle of defending Stalingrad?" He nodded with a smile, and then said: "yes, during the battle of Stalingrad, when we were ordered to send shells to the anti tank artillery hiding in the depression to block the German tank attack, the truck of the transport team leader was hit by the German artillery fire and died on the spot. And I took over his post, leading the transport team to braved the enemy's artillery fire, along the gorge, smoothly sent the shells to the anti tank artillery positions. By this time, the artillery shells were almost all gone. Because of this transportation mission, I was appointed as the official captain of the transportation team as soon as I got back to the brigade, and I got the rank of lieutenant. Since all the brothers in the motorcade had lived and died together, they all listened to my command. Before long, our transport team became the best transport team in the whole brigade. Even often praised by the superior leaders... "Like telling other people's stories, molochov told me his fighting experience in a flat tone, which made me look at him with new eyes. I even had a bold idea of going to the logistics department to dig a corner and get this lieutenant to my close guard 6th group army to be a company commander or battalion commander. The troops under his command will surely win many victories. Time passed unconsciously in our chatting. An hour had passed when general tavartkiraze sent for tea and red vegetable soup. Molochov stood next to the motorcade and yelled at the front and back of the motorcade, "all listen to my command, get out of the car!" The first time, the team didn't respond. When he called for the second time, most of the doors were opened, and the drivers who were sleeping inside jumped out of the car. As for the drivers who were still sleeping, they were also woken up by the drivers of the front and rear cars. They all came under the car and waited for the order from molochov. Seeing that all the people were in place, morochov yelled: "hurry up, everyone. After drinking the hot tea and red vegetable soup sent by the infantry brothers, we will drive away immediately."“ Yes Dozens of drivers standing neatly outside their driver's cab agreed.
