Chapter 1332

After listening to this, vatujing was silent for a while, and then solemnly reminded me: "Comrade oshanina, your idea is good, but the measures you have taken are wrong. Have you ever thought that if you crowd tens of thousands of people from four guard divisions and a tank brigade into the city of Zhitomir, such a dense battle formation will cause more casualties once it is heavily shelled and bombed by the German army“ Senior general, I have taken into account all the information you have said. " In response to vatukin's concern, I quickly explained to him: "as the residents of the city have been moved by the German army, our troops are very scattered. When they are bombarded or bombed by the enemy, they can use a lot of air defense fortifications or basements to avoid, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties."“ How long are you going to stay in Zhitomir? " Seeing that I was ready, vatukin asked, "or rather, when are you going to give up Zhitomir?" I thought it over in my heart for a while, and then cautiously replied, "senior general, it all depends on our material supply. At present, our ammunition is only enough for one week. If we can't replenish it before it is exhausted, I think we can only choose to withdraw. "“ The German army has occupied kanevka and cut off the road between Kiev and Zhitomir, "vatukin said hesitantly after I finished saying," I don't think the supplies from Kiev will reach you until I take back this town. "“ Chief general, I am organizing troops to attack kanevka and prepare to take the town back from the enemy. As long as normal transportation can be restored, I believe the troops can hold on in Zhitomir until the situation improves. " After I had said these words, I suddenly felt that I should take this opportunity to ask watujing something, so I added: "Comrade General, I have a request."“ Comrade o'shanina, please let me know what you want It may be that I am going to stick to Zhitomir, but vatukin seems very generous“ I hope you can provide us with the necessary air cover. If today's air force development is exactly as tavard killazer expected, the enemy's attack will be postponed to the afternoon. In order to prevent the tanks from being shelled by our army again in the process of assembly, the German army sent out several flying groups of planes to keep circling over Zhitomir. As long as they found the target, they would dive down and bombard indiscriminately. When chisjakov heard that the north side of Zhitomir had been bombed by the enemy, he stamped his feet in a hurry. He said repeatedly: "strange, didn't commander vatujing promise to send the air force to help us? How come we haven't seen our plane yet? "“ Don't worry, comrade deputy commander. " Seeing his uneasy appearance, I quickly comforted him and said, "maybe our air forces have gone to support the 38th and 60th army groups in the southwest of Kiev. For the time being, no troops can be sent here to support us. Wait a minute. The plane without an aviation engineer will arrive soon, and it will be enough for the Germans to drink a pot. "
