Chapter 1144

After thinking for a long time, I didn't come up with a clue. Finally, I heard Danilov whispering: "Comrade commander, let's wait until the result of general tavartkilaze's counterattack comes out, and then decide whether to withdraw or defend." As soon as I heard what he said was very reasonable, I quickly nodded and said, "yes, comrade deputy commander, you are right. No matter what kind of decisions we make before the result of the counterattack comes out, we are all rash and irresponsible." I suddenly thought of another thing and asked bzikov: "Comrade chief of staff, I have something I don't quite understand. I want to ask you for advice." When bzikov heard me say this, he was dazed and instinctively said, "Comrade commander, if you have anything, just ask."“ Chief of staff, you should know that our tank brigade is equipped with the most advanced tanks, but why hasn't it achieved more brilliant achievements so far? " I've been struggling with this for two or three days. If I don't ask for a clear answer, I'm not sure“ Comrade commander, "bezikov frowned and said carefully," I think it may be for two reasons: while bezikov was going to write his report, I asked akhromeyev to call the 51st division and ask how the counterattack was going. After contacting general tavartkiraze, akhromeyev followed my orders and asked him about the attack on the "Viking". Only he asked, "Comrade General, the commander asked me to ask you, have you recovered your lost position?" After that, he didn't speak any more, just listening to the other party's constant report. As he put down the phone, he shook his head first, then said with some disappointment, "Comrade commander, general tavartkiraze reported that the first attack on the Highlands was a failure."“ What, failed? " I clearly know that the north slope of that highland is flat, which should be very conducive to the attack. How could it fail. So I asked, "what did Mr. tavartkiraze say?"“ Comrade General said that he used three tanks to guide the infantry to attack the highlands. " Akhromeyev truthfully quoted tavartkilaze's original words: "at the beginning of the attack, it was relatively smooth, but when approaching the mountainside, suddenly several German soldiers came out from the grass, put anti tank grenades into the tracks of the tanks, and broke all the tracks of the three tanks. At the same time, the German machine guns hidden in the foxholes in the grass fired and knocked down a lot of infantry following the tanks. In this way, their first attack failed. But the general is organizing his troops and preparing to launch a second charge. "
