Chapter 1312

Although there were only 21 cars left in captain morodrov's motorcade, I transferred another guard camp to be responsible for loading, but due to the lack of necessary lifting tools, until bezikov did not want to argue with morodrov, but turned to look at me and asked for my opinion: "Comrade commander, what's your opinion?"

Seeing that bezikov had pushed the contradiction to me, I couldn't help worrying. With such a heavy snow, it is obviously unrealistic to return to Kiev through the path in the forest as planned; Although it is fast to return along the road, no one can guarantee that there will not be a few idle Germans who are unwilling to stay in the warm room for heating. Instead, they like to lie in the snow on both sides of the road and be ready to ambush the passing Soviet convoys at any time.

I looked at bzikov, then at the anxious looking morochov, and finally made the most difficult decision: "comrades, under the current situation, in order to transfer the materials from the base as soon as possible, I think we have to take risks." With that, I said, "Captain, take the motorcade and set out. I'll let the commander stationed in korostrov send a small force to escort you back to Kiev."

"Comrade commander..." seeing that I agreed with the proposal of morochov, don't worry about zikov. He tried to persuade me, but I raised my hand and stopped him: "OK, chief of staff, the materials in the base need to be transferred as soon as possible. Our time is limited, so we can only take risks."

"Chief of staff," seeing that bezikov still wanted to persuade me, chisgakov, who was always silent, said, "the decision made by Comrade commander is correct. We must strive for time to transport all the materials from the base, otherwise, as soon as the enemy arrives, these things will fall back into their hands."

We went back to the headquarters after seeing the cultural relics go away. Due to the temporary change of the march route of morodrov's motorcade, it is necessary for me to report to vatukin immediately, so that he can adjust the direction in time.

After hearing my voice, vatujing said impatiently, "Comrade oshanina, have you finished loading all the gold and cultural relics to be transported?"

"Yes, it's all loaded. A list of cultural relics. I'll report it to you by cable later. " Originally, I wanted to read to him directly the cultural relics that have been reprinted, but seeing the dense names on the list, I backed out and decided to let akhromeyev send the list to the headquarters in the form of telegram. I stopped for a moment, and then said, "Captain morochov's team has started."

"What, the team's off?" Listen to me, watujing was a little surprised and said, "it's snowing so heavily outside. It's estimated that the roads in the forest have been covered with snow for a long time. In this case, the motorcade may be trapped in the forest."

"Things have changed, comrade commander." I said cautiously: "considering that the roads in the forest may be covered with snow, I asked molochov to lead the motorcade back along the Kiev Zhitomir road."

"What the hell have you done, comrade oshanina?" As soon as I finished talking, watujing immediately said, "don't you forget that they were ambushed by the enemy and lost more than half of their vehicles on the way to you? Now you even let them go back the same way. If anything happens to the convoy transporting cultural relics, I will send you to the military court. "

I'm not worried about the threat of watujing. As a passer-by, if I didn't have the aura of the protagonist on my head, I would have died ten times and eight times. I believe that this time I can turn the bad into the good. I waited patiently for vatukin to finish, then I said without hesitation: "Comrade General, please rest assured that when the motorcade arrives at korostwev, I will ask the defenders there to send armored troops to escort along the way. I believe that the motorcade will arrive in Kiev safely."

After making a fire at me, vatukin saw that I didn't try my best to defend myself. He just said lightly that the motorcade could arrive safely, and his mood soon returned to normal. He asked cautiously: "Comrade oshanina, can the motorcade transporting cultural relics really return to Kiev smoothly?"

"I think so." I replied vaguely: "with such heavy snow, the enemy may not have any more action, so it is unlikely to send troops to the motorcade near the road. Even if there are, it can only be some scouts. Our troops escorting the convoy can easily get rid of them all. "

"I hope so." When watujing saw that the matter had come to an end and everything could only be left to fate, he sighed and said, "although only 60 tons of gold and some sculptures were transported this time, they can't fall into the hands of the enemy in any case, so I hope you will dispatch elite troops to carry out this escort mission."

"Don't worry, Comrade General." Seeing that watujing had acquiesced to the fact that the motorcade was returning along the original road, in order to reassure him, I quickly assured him that "I will definitely send excellent troops to protect the motorcade from reaching Kiev smoothly."

At present, the commander at the highest level in korostevri is major general berey, acting commander of the Fifth Army of the close guard tank. So after I finished talking with watujing, I made a special call to him and told him: "general berey, there will be a car team of our army passing through korostevri later, carrying important materials of our army, I order you to send out elite armored forces and escort them back to Kiev safely. "

After hearing my order, berey didn't simply agree as usual, but hesitated for a long time and said: "Comrade commander, the snow outside is too heavy, and the road condition becomes complicated. I can only send a small force composed of two tanks and a motorized company to escort the convoy back to Kiev." For the arrangement of bierre, I thought about it, then nodded and agreed: "well, general bierre, since the convoy entered korostwev, I'll leave their safety to you. Anyway, you have to find ways to escort them back to Kiev safely." After I put down the phone, chisgakov suddenly said to me: "Comrade commander, I just received a report from all divisions that the German troops on three sides of Zhitomir had stopped advancing towards Zhitomir and retreated to their original city soon after they were attacked by our small troops and snowed heavily." Hearing the news, I was overjoyed and said, "great, that's great. The snow came in time. Although it caused us a lot of inconvenience in transferring cultural relics, it also made it difficult for the enemy to March. The heavy snow has won us precious time for a few days. In addition to ordering the troops of Zhitomir to seize the hard won opportunity to reinforce and improve the fortifications, we should also take some necessary actions here. "“ Necessary action? " What I said confused chisjakov. He asked back with a blank face: "Comrade commander, you have confused me. I don't understand what you said?" I saw that not only chisjakov didn't understand what I meant, but also kirilov and bezikov, who were nearby, were also at a loss, so I explained to them, "from the current situation, it is unrealistic for our army to transfer all the cultural relics here before the enemy seizes Zhitomir and this base."“ Yes, comrade commander. " As soon as I finished, bzikov agreed: "if there is a railway, the transfer of cultural relics may not be affected much. But at present, the only way we can use road transportation is because we are threatened by the German army, which makes it impossible for us to carry out normal transportation. Therefore, I think that in any case, before Zhitomir and the base are lost, all the cultural relics here can not be transferred. "“ What shall we do then? " Kirilov interposed and asked, "can we leave these priceless treasures of our country to the Communist aggressors again?" Before we could speak, he said indignantly, "no, No. To do so would be a crime, a crime against the motherland and Comrade Stalin. First of all, as long as one cultural relic has not been transferred, I will never leave this base*** If the bandits want to take away our cultural relics again, they will not go there unless they step on my body. " Kirilov's words made the whole headquarters quiet. Finally, I opened my mouth to break the silence in the room. I said to him with a smile, "Comrade military commissar, the situation will not be as bad as you think. Even if the cultural relics here can not be completely transferred before the base is lost, then I will never let them fall into the hands of the Germans again. " My words brightened kirilov's eyes. He asked unexpectedly, "Rita, have you come up with any good idea?" See me nod approbation, he hastens a way immediately, "that quickly tell us your idea, lest everybody in the heart is not at ease." I went to the wall, pointed to the plan of the base on the wall, and said to them, "Dear commanders, please see, the rooms for storing cultural relics are almost in the deepest part of the base. If we blow up the gate of the base, the damage to cultural relics will be minimal. My idea is to blow up the gate of the base and the front half of the passage before we move, so that the Germans can't enter the base and steal our cultural relics in a short time. In a month or more, our troops will be able to fight back. At that time, we will organize people to get through the passage blocked by the collapsed gravel, and see the cultural relics hidden in the depth of the base
