Chapter 1116

After everyone read the telegram, the atmosphere in the headquarters became relaxed. Everyone was very happy and relieved. Bhuttovo is in the southwest of oboyan. Once the German army has a firm foothold there, it will become an excellent starting point for them to prepare for the attack on oboyan.

Although vatukin ordered me to report to him at 2 p.m. the situation of the counter attack on butovo, since the lost city has been recovered, there is no need to wait so long. I want to tell him the good news as soon as possible.

When vatukin heard my voice, he asked lazily, "Comrade oshanina, you are calling at this time. What can I do for you? Is it necessary for me to send air force to cover your attack on bhuttovo? "

I didn't care about vatukin's attitude. Instead, I reported to him with a smile: "Comrade commander, not long ago, our 67th division of guards had expelled the German army from butovo and successfully recovered the city."

"What, butovo has recovered?" "Less than an hour after the end of the last call, did you succeed in recovering bhuttovo?" vatukin asked in surprise

"Yes, comrade commander." I really feel speechless about his skeptical attitude. However, I answered truthfully: "although I have not received detailed information about the war, Colonel baksov's command of his troops has successfully recovered butovo and driven or destroyed the German army in the city."

"Now that you've taken the city back, you should firmly hold on to it." "If the German Grand German division wants to rush to oboyan, it must first seize butovo. The rest of the area is either a river or a swamp, and it is also full of mines, which is not conducive to the development of their mechanized forces," said watujing calmly

Vatukin's words made me understand why he would be angry at me when he heard that bhuttovo was lost, because bhuttovo was like a gate, firmly blocking the German road to oboyan. Once the German army occupied the area, their large forces would flood oboyan like a tide and open the road to Kursk.

After the call with watujing, I suddenly remembered something and immediately asked bzikov, "chief of staff, does the 52nd division of Jinwei have the latest war report?"

Bzikov shook his head and replied, "after the first attack of the German army was defeated, there was no new attack against the 52nd division of the guards. Instead, the main force was turned to the direction of the 51st division of the guards. It seems that they want to concentrate their forces to make a breakthrough first, and then form a encirclement of the 51st and 52nd divisions of the guards. "

"It doesn't matter. The two guard divisions have a lot of weapons, ammunition and materials in their key defensive positions, which are enough to support a week or two of high-intensity fighting." As for bezikov's worry, I said with disapproval: "even if the German army encircles them, it's nothing serious. In a week at most, we'll be able to get them to run away in a mess. "

Speaking of this, I suddenly found that all the people were looking at me with strange eyes, and immediately realized that they were quick to say what they shouldn't say. They quickly closed their mouths, pretended to be nothing, and looked down at the map spread out in front of them.

But my words attracted kirilov's attention. He and I have been working together for quite a long time. Knowing that I would never speak aimlessly, he asked with concern, "Rita, if I hear you right, do you think we can repel the German attack in a week at most?"

All the people focused on me because of kirilov's words. Seeing that this question could not be avoided, I thought about it for a moment, and then figured out the countermeasures. Then I replied with a laugh: "comrades commander, don't look at the German army's fierce attack this time. They are not willing to take Kursk. But they forget that we have not only got three months' rest time here, but also built a perfect defense system. The fierce attack of the German army will be weakened little by little in front of our solid defense system, and their living strength will be consumed a lot. It is on this basis that I judge that the German offensive will last about a week at most, and will be defeated by us because of the exhaustion of strength. "

When I had finished, Danilov unexpectedly agreed. He nodded his head and said, "yes, I think Comrade commander's words are very reasonable. Over the past three months, we have built a total length of 400 kilometers of trenches and traffic trenches, laid 80000 mines and blasting mines, and erected 60 kilometers of barbed wire. "

Although Danilov is not suitable to be an independent commander, as a deputy commander, he is undoubtedly very qualified. He doesn't need to look at the records in his notebook at all for all kinds of data in the defense area. He can tell the story of Zi Chou Yin Mao by opening his mouth.

After waiting for Danilov to express his views, bezikov looked at me and asked, "Comrade commander, I have a proposal. Should Colonel berey be allowed to move his headquarters to us?"

After listening to bzikov's proposal, I couldn't help wondering, "chief of staff, why did Colonel berey move his headquarters here?"

"Comrade commander," bzikov replied solemnly, "at present, there are three tank brigades in our defense area. Nowadays, every time a tank unit is mobilized, it is necessary to give an order to Colonel bere first, and then he will convey it to the tank brigades. The situation of the enemy on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and every minute is precious. Let Colonel berey come here, and every command you give can be directly transmitted to the tank brigade, instead of wasting time to turn once. "

I carefully thought over what bezikov said, and felt that he was very reasonable. I raised my finger to him and said, "chief of staff, your proposal is good. Then call Colonel berey immediately and ask him to move the headquarters of the tank army here Bezikov was on the phone, and lophov came in again from the outside. Looking at the telegraph in his hand, I felt particularly uncomfortable, because it meant that a certain area was attacked by the German army again. When he came up to me, I frowned and asked, "major, what's the bad news this time?" As he handed me the telegram, lophov replied, "report commander, the German army has launched another attack on Yakovlev. At present, a large number of enemies have been found in front of No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 of the 51st division. " I took the telegram and glanced at it casually. Seeing that it was similar to what lophov said, I handed it to Danilov behind me and asked casually, "major, have the telephone lines of the 51st and 52nd divisions of the guards been repaired?" Lophoff shook his head and said: "from the current situation, the telephone lines of the forward forces and the headquarters have not been completely repaired, so our communication can only be completed by telegram for the time being." But as soon as he saw me frowning, he quickly said, "but please rest assured that our communication forces here and in the forefront have sent our communication soldiers to check the line. Maybe in half an hour or even less, we can resume telephone contact with the front line." After I sent lophov away, I called Danilov and kirilov. They gathered around the map in front of the table to study what measures general tavartkilaze would take to stop the German attack on Yakovlev. After repeated deduction by several of us, we felt that the 51st division of tavartkilaze's close guard was fully capable of blocking the German attack, so we were all relieved. Just then, the telephone on the desk rang. I grabbed the microphone at any time, stuck it to my ear and said aloud, "Hello, I'm o'shanina. Where are you?" A moment later, I heard the voice of the 51st division commander of Jinwei come out from the receiver. He said excitedly: "Hello, comrade commander, I'm tavartkilaze."“ Hello, Comrade General From his business, I could not suppress the joy, so I also asked in a good mood: "did your troops beat back the German attack?"“ Yes, comrade commander, your guess is too correct. One of the enemy's attacks was repulsed by us. " Tavartkilaze excitedly told me about their fighting process: "when the enemy comes, our artillery, mortars, Katyusha rockets and machine guns give the enemy a head-on attack with fierce fire. At this time, our air force also appeared over the battlefield. The bombers drove the enemy's bombers away from our sky, while the bombers dived to bomb the German armor and troops. In the battle, both sides fought very hard and tenacious. After the enemy tanks entered our minefield, one by one they were destroyed, but the tanks behind them continued to rush forward in an attempt to open up a way for the succeeding troops in the minefield. Their Tiger tanks and peidinan self-propelled guns used artillery fire to cover the impact of medium tanks and infantry. In the face of this iron and steel storm, our troops fought bravely. They used all their weapons to fight against the enemy. The soldiers used 40 rocket launchers to fire guns from close range at the track. Some brave soldiers risked their lives to rush to the enemy's tanks and plug mines, grenades and flasks under the track. Our commanders and fighters took advantage of the opportunity that the enemy's tanks were in chaos and could not take care of the infantry. They rushed out with new assault rifles and wiped out all the infantry who had lost the cover of tanks. " Just as I heard this, I was elated when I saw the director of intelligence, rasmishin, running in, holding a telegram in his hand. The newspaper didn't say anything, and his face was particularly ugly. Seeing this, I quickly covered the microphone and nervously asked him, "Comrade commander, what's the matter?" Before rasmishin came to me, he raised his hand and handed me the telegram. At the same time, he said with a straight face: "Comrade commander, with the latest information just received, the German army rushed into butovo again." As soon as rasmishin's words came out, the air in the headquarters suddenly solidified.
