Chapter 1136

When I got out of the narrow tank body and took a fresh breath again, I turned to roschugin, who was leaning out of the turret, nodded with a smile and said, "thank you, sergeant."

I didn't expect that after listening to my words, roschukin even straightened his waist and answered loudly in accordance with the regulations: "serve the motherland of the Soviet Union!"

I haven't heard such an answer for a long time, so I was stunned for a moment. I raised my hand and patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "dear roschugina, the next battle will be very cruel. You must pay more attention to safety in the battle, understand?"

"I see." Roschukin nodded with a smile, then asked me seriously, "Comrade commander, will you allow me to return to the front line?" He said this in a loud voice. I think he meant to say it to his comrades in the tank.

"Good luck!" With that, I jumped out of the tank, waved to her, and strode to headquarters.

The guards behind quickly followed up, and one of them said happily: "Comrade commander, today is really dangerous. If there were no tank escort, maybe that armored car would kill us all."

"What armored car?" When I turned my head to make a joke with the soldier, I heard a loud voice in front of me. Then my arm was tightly grasped by the other side. Then I heard him ask nervously: "Comrade commander, are you encountering the German on your way back?"

When I looked back, I saw Yushchenko's nervous expression and said with a smile, "yes, comrade major, we met the Germans on our way back, but I was sitting in the tank and saw with my own eyes that the tankers killed the enemy's armored vehicles with one shot and killed several enemies with submachine guns."

As soon as I finished, I saw kirilov standing at the gate of the headquarters with a black face. What did he say? Who made him angry? Thinking of this, I quickly broke away from Yushchenko's arm, went to the door and asked with concern, "Comrade military commissar, why do you look so ugly? Are you uncomfortable?"

Kirilov snorted and then said to me, "come in with me!"

As soon as I entered the door, bzikov, who was on the phone not far from the door, saw me. He covered the phone and whispered to me, "Comrade commander, you are back."

"Back, back." As I answered, I went to the table and said hello to Danilov, who was looking at the map“ Hello, comrade deputy commander, I'm back. "

Danilov looked up and saw that it was me. He was surprised and asked, "Comrade commander, when did you come back? Why didn't you call in advance? I'll send troops to pick you up?" Seeing my blank face, I quickly explained, "a small group of German troops have appeared nearby. Our Patrol has been attacked and more than 20 officers and soldiers have been injured or killed."

"What, there are small enemy troops nearby?" As soon as Danilov finished, I couldn't wait to ask, "have you done anything?"

Danilov replied, "we've asked Colonel sherekin's 89th division of guards to send a battalion to strengthen the security in the vicinity. At the same time, the number of each patrol team has increased from the original 10 to 20. Even if they encounter with small German units, they can try their best to hold down the enemy and wait for reinforcements. "

I heard that there was a small group of German troops near the headquarters. My first reaction was that they either came for reconnaissance or prepared to attack the headquarters. So I said cautiously, "Comrade deputy commander, we can't just defend passively. We must find a way to get rid of this enemy."

"But, comrade commander." Danilov's face showed an expression of embarrassment: "we don't know where the enemy is at all. How can we eliminate them?"

After thinking about it, I felt that Danilov's words were quite reasonable, and said to him, "Comrade deputy commander, if we want to deal with the small German troops that threaten us, we will not do it unless we send out the reconnaissance battalion of the group army."

"Yes, comrade commander is right." Bezikov, who had just finished the phone call, came over and said, "Captain travkin's ability is obvious to all. It's very appropriate to give him the task of eliminating the small German troops."

"In that case, comrade Colonel, you can call captain travkin and ask him to come here, so that the commander can assign the task to him himself." Danilov unconsciously raised his hand and looked at his watch when he gave the order to bezikov. "It's eleven o'clock in the evening. Let them try to clear the enemy before eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

As we spoke, kirilov sat at the table with a straight face and without a word. Seeing that bzikov came back from the phone call, he finally spoke: "comrades, I think we should sit down and have a good meeting to discuss some problems that need to be corrected at present."

Kirilov's words confused all three of us. I don't know why he suddenly said that. After everyone sat down around the table, bzikov first asked, "Comrade military commissar, I don't know what's wrong at present. We must correct it as soon as possible."

Kirilov pointed his hand at me and said angrily, "I propose that we should make a rule that Comrade oshanina, as the commander of the group army, is not allowed to go to the front alone at any time."

After listening to this, Danilov asked in a puzzled way, "Comrade military commissar, I don't know why such a regulation is made? It's very helpful for our morale and morale to see the commander appear in front of them. "

"Comrade deputy commander, don't you know how grim the current situation is?" Kirilov said with an unnatural face: "although oshanina is the commander of the group army, don't forget that she is also a woman. Seeing a woman running forward at the risk of her life every day, can you still sit in this headquarters? "

Kirilov's words made Danilov speechless. Then he struck while the iron was hot and said, "don't you know? On her way back tonight, she had another encounter with the German armored vehicle. If it wasn't for the tank escort sent by general tawalter killazer, she would be more or less dangerous. "

After kirilov finished, Danilov and bezikov asked in one voice: "Comrade commander, is what the military commissar said true?"

When I found that all the people had focused on me, I could only nod and answer truthfully, "yes, I met a German armored car when I returned from the 51st division of the guards tonight, but fortunately, the tankers were very sensitive and destroyed the enemy's armored car in the shortest time."

Although I said it lightly, the expressions of Danilov and bezikov became more serious. They actually changed their positions, unconditionally supported kirilov's proposal, and decided not to allow me to visit the front line alone before the end of the campaign.

When travkin came to the headquarters, I had succumbed to the "unequal" treaty made by kirilov. Seeing the arrival of travkin, I quickly called him over as if I had seen a savior, and said in a loud voice, "Captain, you are just in time. We have an important task to give you."

Travkin stood at the table, looking straight at me and saying, "Comrade commander, I'm at your command!"

I haven't been back to the headquarters for a long time, and I have been accepting kirilov's criticism. I know nothing about the German small forces except that they have attacked our patrol and caused us a lot of losses. So I could only look at Danilov and say to him helplessly, "Comrade deputy commander, it's up to you to assign the task to the captain."

"Comrade captain, come and see." Danilov pushed the map on his desk in the direction of travkin, and then said, "the enemy attacked our two patrols in the east of the city, resulting in the casualties of more than 20 officers and men. Your task is to search the enemy out of their hiding place overnight and kill them all by 8 a.m. tomorrow. Is there a problem? "

Instead of answering immediately, travkin looked at the map in a daze. Danilov looked at him discontentedly. It seemed that he was about to attack. I quickly made a sign to him that he would not speak for the time being, so as not to interrupt travkin's train of thought.

After a while, travkin finally said, "Comrade deputy commander, although the enemy attacked our patrol in the east of the city, they will not stay in the east of the city, waiting for us to destroy them."

"Comrade captain," bzikov asked politely, "where do you think the enemy will be?"

"I think there are two possibilities. One is to hide in the forest, which is not easy to be found," said travkin; The second is to find villages to hide, which is not easy for us to detect. "

After Tel avin finished speaking, bzikov asked with great interest, "Comrade captain, in your judgment, where will the enemy hide?"

"If I were in charge of this small unit, I would definitely choose to live in the village," he replied without thinking

"Don't you worry about being discovered by the villagers and reporting to the superior?" When Danilov heard this, he couldn't help interrupting.

Travkin shook his head and said, "Comrade deputy commander, the Germans are not so stupid. They may change into our army's uniform, so that staying in the village will not arouse the suspicion of the villagers. On the contrary, they can also use their false identity to collect a lot of useful information from the villagers. "

I heard that travkin's analysis was very reasonable. I believed that he had some confidence in finding out where the German army was hiding. I took the opportunity to ask, "Captain travkin, do you have a clue?"

Hearing my question, trafkin nodded, pointed to a small village northwest of the city, and said, "according to my judgment, the possibility of German hiding here is very high."

"Why?" I'm not the only one curious about his judgment, even kirilov, who doesn't like to talk. He asked in a suspicious tone: "Captain travkin, why do you think the German army will hide here?"

"Very simple, comrade military Commissar." Travkin took a look at kirilov, pointed to the map and analyzed to us: "the purpose of small German troops sneaking into us is to spy intelligence, sneak attack the headquarters or destroy the traffic line. You see, this village is only about three kilometers away from the location of our headquarters, and it is close to the bergorod Kursk highway. The terrain is very favorable. " Some things seem very mysterious, but once explained, it seems very simple. After listening to travkin's analysis, we basically believe that the German army's hiding place is in the village that travkin refers to. When he finished, I asked, "Comrade captain, how many people are you going to take to carry out this mission?" My words made travkin think. He said to himself, "if you don't have enough people, you may not be able to solve this enemy."; There are too many people. I'm afraid to expose the target. "“ Comrade Colonel, I have an idea for you. " When bezikov saw that travkin had been thinking hard, he took the initiative to put forward a suggestion to him: "since you have locked your target in this direction, just gather all your forces to encircle and suppress here. In order to prevent being detected by the enemy, the reconnaissance battalion can be divided into several parts, approaching the village from several directions at the same time, so that the Germans can not be prevented. " Kirilov's point of view is different from ours when it comes to sneak attacks on villages with German troops. We are thinking about how to wipe out the German army completely, and he is thinking about the safety of the villagers in the village. To this end, he specially told travkin: "Comrade captain, when carrying out the mission, you should tell all the officers and men who take part in the operation not to hurt our own people by mistake. Do you understand? " After hearing kirilov's instructions, travkin hesitated again and again, and then replied, "I see, comrade military Commissar." When I heard what he said, I knew in my heart what a fierce ideological struggle he was going to have. If he wanted to destroy the German detachment without harming the villagers by mistake, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion would have to pay more sacrifice. I waved to him and said, "Comrade captain, since the order has been made clear, go ahead and carry it out. Remember to bring more walkie talkies to facilitate communication between troops. If you have any latest information, please report it to me in time. Go ahead and wish you and your soldiers good luck
