Chapter 1328

When I returned to the headquarters, I sat down at the table again. In view of the shumakov incident, I specially stressed to tavartkilaze: "Comrade commander, in the early fighting of your army, the commanders and soldiers were reduced a lot. We will be supplemented by our superior officers, but the selection of commanders at all levels needs to be made from the backbone of the fighting. By the way, you should tell the division leaders to go to the grass-roots units when they have time to see if they can find more excellent commanders like shumakov. "

"Comrade commander," tavartkilaze said after I finished, he immediately looked down at me and said, "this is a mistake in my work. I didn't expect that there are so many talents in our grass-roots commanders. I will pay attention to it in the future to avoid similar things happening again."

At this time, I suddenly thought about razumeyeva. I could not help slapping the table and said, "Oh, I almost forgot an important thing."

"What's the matter?" Tavartkiraze asked curiously.

"Well, comrade commander." I shook my head in the direction of the door and said, "did you just see the woman soldier next to major shumakov?"

"I see it."

"The female soldier's name is razumeyeva. She is the fiancee of major shumakov. She turned out to be a good communications company commander under my command. Like shumakov, she was separated from the army when she broke through Kiev. After returning, he was demoted from lieutenant to sergeant. Now he is a messenger of the 90th division of the guards. " With a bitter smile, I said to ta killazer, "before I come to your headquarters, I plan to call Chernoff as soon as I come in and get her back from the 90th division. As a result, I have been talking about the fortifications since I came in. I forgot all about it

"So it's this thing," tavartkilaze said with disapproval. "It's not a big deal that you want to transfer a signalman. I'll just tell Chernoff." With that, he called a staff officer and told him to inform Chernoff.

Now that we've finished talking, we're back to the German attack. Tavartkilaze asked me with some worry: "Comrade commander, since you also know that the forces used by the German army are at the campaign level, don't you need to report to the headquarters of the front army and ask for their assistance?"

"Not for the time being. The situation of the front army is not very good. They will soon face the attack of the 48th German armored army." As for tavartkilaze's proposal, I turned it down almost without thinking. As a commander of the group army, I can't go to watujing for help when I have a little difficulty. I will leave an impression that I have no ability in the mind of watujing and other senior commanders. I don't want to collapse the image I've worked so hard to build, so I have to rely on my own ability to face the coming crisis“ We now have four close guard divisions in Zhitomir, plus tank brigade and artillery. Even if the German army launches a full-scale attack, we will block them for about a week, there will be no problem

"A week?" Tavartkilaze felt as if I had something to say. He immediately asked, "Comrade commander, if I don't understand correctly, will the enemy's attack last only a week?"

I know in my heart that if imanstein's character really wants to take Kiev back from vatukin's hand, his attack will not stop for a week or even a month before he reaches this goal. However, at this moment, in order to strengthen tavartkilaze's confidence in winning, I said without conscience: "yes, comrade commander, from all kinds of signs, the enemy's attack can last for a week at most. When their offensive troops become exhausted, our reinforcements will almost arrive. By then, we will be able to wipe out more than half of these invincible German troops

After talking to tavartkilaze about the details of the defensive battle, I raised my hand and looked at my watch. Then I said, "well, comrade commander, it's time for me to go back to the headquarters. I'll give you all the defense of Zhitomir. If you feel you can't keep the city, you should report to me immediately, and then I will arrange for you to leave the city. "

After hearing this, tavartkilaze was a little reluctant. He raised his voice and said to me, "Comrade commander, you really look down on us. Don't mention that there are so many troops in the city, even if it's only my original 51st guard division. Before we all die, none of the enemy's soldiers can enter the city."

"I believe you, comrade commander." With these words, I got up and shook hands with him, then left the headquarters again.

When I took razumeyeva back to the headquarters, I first found that her akhromeyev was stunned, and then exclaimed, "my God, isn't this lieutenant razumeyeva? Am I seeing you or your ghost? "

"Hello, comrade major." Razumeyeva saw her familiar comrades in arms appear in front of her. She could no longer control her emotions, and tears ran down her cheeks“ I didn't expect to live to see you

After a hug with razumeyeva, akhromeyev took her hand and came to kirilov and said, "Comrade razumeyeva, look who this is."

"Hello, Lieutenant razumeyeva." Before razumeyeva finished, kirilov said, "when Kiev broke through, you were separated from us. I thought you were sacrificed. I didn't expect to see you here today. It's so nice. " With that, he got up and gave each other a warm hug. After several acquaintances met, I looked at razumeyeva, who was still wiping tears, and said to bezikov: "Comrade chief of staff, razumeyeva used to be our communications company commander, but because she was separated from the army when Kiev broke through, she was censored and demoted when she returned. You see, how to arrange her? " Bizikov took a look at kirilov, who was standing with razumeyeva. He thought for a moment, and then said, "Comrade commander, major lophov is a little too busy because of the coming war. He needs help. In my opinion, let Comrade razumeyeva serve as deputy director of the communications department. As for the military rank, it will be temporarily designated as captain. What do you think? "“ I agree! " I have no hesitation in agreeing with this arrangement of bezikov. Later, kirilov and akhromeyev also expressed their views one after another: "I agree!"“ I agree, too! "
