Chapter 1250

The space in the tent was very small, and trekov and lelushenko became more and more crowded. Lu Jin and chief of staff zhalijiuk, who were at a lower level, immediately stood up, raised their hands to salute us, and turned to walk out of the tent.

When everyone sat down around the table again, I began to murmur to myself that if there were German artillery observers nearby to direct the artillery and fire two guns at us, it would be a brilliant result: three group commanders, one deputy commander, one Guard commander and two guard division commanders could be killed at one time.

While I was thinking wildly, I heard trakov asking Guriev, "Comrade General, how are the casualties of your division in the battle?"

"Comrades commander," guriyev immediately frowned when he heard trekov's question. He replied with a sad face, "our troops were wildly shelled by enemy artillery in the battle of expanding the breakthrough, and the casualties were very heavy. After meeting with the friendly forces last night, he fought tenaciously with the enemy who tried to counterattack. At present, one third of the commanders and more than half of the soldiers of the whole division have been killed and injured, which is in urgent need of repair. "

"Comrades general, your division will definitely carry out rectification, but not now. You still have more important tasks to carry out." "Trekov said, suddenly asked:" by the way, did you catch the SS officers in the battle

"SS officer?" Guriyev repeated what trakov had said. He was just about to turn to be the chief of staff of his division. However, he found that the other party had left with Lu Jin. He said with some embarrassment, "Comrade commander, you have to ask the chief of staff about this. He knows the situation better than I do."

Just as trikov was about to ask Guriev to call his chief of staff over, sheriujin suddenly said, "general trikov, my men have captured many prisoners, among them the SS. But... "

Seeing that Xie Liujin's words were only half said, he didn't go on and asked curiously, "Comrade General, why don't you go on. What do you want to say "but"

I understand why Xie Liujin only said half of what he said. As soon as trikov finished asking, he quickly said, "according to my order, the captured SS prisoners should be separated from other IDF prisoners. After screening, they will all be shot. By the way, general trakov, why did you suddenly think of asking about the SS prisoners? "

"I'm also entrusted by my friends." When trekov heard me ask, his face became more serious. "He asked me to help him find a SS officer named heinman."

I know that before the outbreak of the patriotic war, due to the cooperative relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany, it was not strange for us to know a few German friends. However, as soon as the war started, almost all of us decisively drew a clear line. It's the first time I've heard about this kind of behavior of actively trusting the high level of the army to find a German friend of my own. So I asked cautiously, "general trakov, may I ask your friend, why do you want to help find a SS officer?"

Trikov looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him. He laughed and said, "it seems that everyone wants to know why my friend asked me to find a SS officer?"

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, he continued: "my friend worked in the people's Committee for foreign affairs. He was a member of the Embassy in Germany before the war. After the outbreak of the war, the Germans sent the Ss to surround the embassy and tried to confiscate some of our important documents. I just mentioned heinman. He was the security captain of the Embassy at that time. Although he was a * *, he sympathized with our comrades very much. He used his identity to help our comrades leave the embassy and transfer some important documents to a safe place. After my friend came back to China, he never forgot the friend who offered them selfless help. Later, he found out that Hayman was also transferred to the east line, so he asked me to help him find out Hayman's whereabouts. "

Although the briefing given by trakov is brief, we all know that although this heinman is a SS officer, he has selflessly provided a lot of help to our comrades. As soon as I waited for trakov to finish, I asked curiously, "general trakov, I don't know how old this heinman is this year, what he looks like, and what his current rank is?"

On hearing my series of questions, trakov shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, comrade oshanina. The information I can provide you is very limited. I only know that heinman is in his forties. When the war broke out, he was a captain. I know nothing about the rest. "

Chisjakov muttered, "this heinman was a SS captain in '41..."

Before chisgakov finished speaking, lelushenko interrupted him and reminded him: "the rank of captain of SS is equivalent to that of squadron leader of SS first-class commando. It's been two years since the war broke out, and this heinman is at least a major, that is, a second-class SS commando captain. "

"Mr. Xie Liujin," I am deeply afraid that if we wait a little longer, the officers and men outside will shoot all the SS prisoners. As soon as lelushenko finishes speaking, he immediately tells Xie Liujin, "go and check if there is a man named heinman among the SS prisoners. Anyone by that name, whether a soldier or an officer, will be brought here at once. "

"Yes Xie Liujin stood up and agreed, then turned and walked out of the tent“ Comrade oshanina, I don't understand. " After leaving the tent, lelushenko asked me with a puzzled look: "why do you order your subordinates like that, whether they are soldiers or officers, as long as they call Hayman, they will bring them here. Didn't you hear Comrade trakov say that he was a captain two years ago As for the query of lelushenko, I replied with a smile: "Comrade General, I think this heinman has a lot of Pro Soviet performance in peacetime. Even during the siege of our embassy, he used his power to let the staff out and help transfer important documents without being noticed by others, but he must have been on the blacklist of Gestapo for a long time, That's why he was sent to the eastern front to die. "“ General guriyev, "trikov told guriyev immediately after I finished saying," as for the Germans captured by your division, please go and have a look. Don't let our men kill our friends. "“ All right, comrade commander, "Guriev stood up and replied cheerfully," I'll go and ask about it now. " When there were only a few of our commanders left in the room, trakov finally turned the topic to me: "oshanina, in the battle last night, your troops played very well, and the commanders and fighters were very brave. Without your cooperation, I estimate that it will take at least two or three days to occupy ijum. "“ Yes, I think so, too. " As soon as his words were heard, lelushenko, who was next to him, added: "after more than a month's fighting, the 6th and 12th group armies lost a lot of money and were unable to launch a new attack on the enemy's defense depth. That's why the headquarters of the front army transferred my close guard 3rd group army as the reserve of trikov." Although I know that in the next half a month or more, my group army will be almost idle, I am still very interested in the action of the southwest Front Army: "general trakov, where do you think our next battle will start?" Trekov looked down at the map in front of him, then pushed it to me, pointed to it and said, "according to the order we received before the attack, after occupying ijum, the troops will continue to move southwest to attack bavinkovo area and wipe out all the enemies on the East Bank of the Dnieper River. In this way, we will be able to complete the recovery of Donbas and bring the entire important coal and metallurgical area back into our hands. " I was staring at the map and thinking to myself. From the position of our deployment, we are getting farther and farther away from the main force of Voronezh's front army. If we continue to develop in this way, will our superiors classify us as the grassland front army or the southwest front army? If that is the case, then we will not have a chance to take part in the battle to liberate Kiev. Maybe seeing that I didn't speak, lelushenko misunderstood me and explained to me: "o'shanina, don't worry. Now that the enemy in the ijum area has been eliminated by us, the enemy's defense on the whole East Bank of the Dnieper River will become empty, and the Germans will not be able to deploy troops to fill these gaps. In this way, after finishing the task of suppressing the German army, we can continue to develop southward and go down the Dnieper River to liberate zaborosh, liberate nicopol, and even save Odessa on the shore of the Black Sea from the German hands. " When lelushenko was imagining how the army would fight all the way to win back one city after another from the German hands, my eyes also focused on zaborosh's position. Half a year ago, I led the 79th infantry army to rush across the Dnieper River from here, and all the way to the northwest, stirring up the empty rear of the German army. Even through the way of night attack, lucky from the hands of the German, will defend the empty Kiev won. If Moscow didn't transfer me away, maybe I could stay in Kiev for a long time. Trekov then told me briefly about the positions of several groups of Southwest army and their next operational direction. Just then, a voice calling for a report came out of the door. Trikov thought it was the teacher who came back after completing the task, so he called out without looking back: "come in." As the curtain was lifted, a lieutenant walked in from the outside. He saw a room full of generals. He couldn't help but feel at a loss. Trekov looked up at him and asked, "Comrade lieutenant, what's the matter?"“ Report to the commander, "the lieutenant, who was obviously a subordinate of guriyev, immediately straightened up and replied," someone is calling for general oshanina. " When I heard that there was a call for me, I quickly stood up and asked kindly, "Comrade lieutenant, do you know where the call came from?"“ I'm not sure. It should be a senior leader. He said that his name was watujing... "When I heard that watujing was calling, I knew there must be something important. I urged the lieutenant," Lieutenant, take me to the phone. " With that, he quickly walked out of the tent.
