Chapter 1339

In the next few days, our troops occupied the defense line near the city, the German occupied the defense line farthest from the city, and the defense line in the middle became the focus of contention between the two armies. At dawn, our commanders and fighters, under the cover of artillery and fighters, attacked the areas occupied by the German army and seized the trenches after fierce fighting. At noon, the German army would take advantage of the return of our fighters, launch a counter attack with the support of tanks and artillery, and then take back the position. Positions change hands several times a day, often tavartkilaze just reported to me that our army has occupied the other side. Seeing me staring at him in a daze, he raised his hand and saluted me, then extended his hand to me and said with a smile: "Hello, general oshanina, nice to meet you."“ Hello, Comrade General Although his Russian is very stiff, with a local or national accent, but I understand what he said, quickly and politely said: "I'm glad to meet you, too."“ "Commander," said nikolasov, shaking hands with this strange general. "This is major general Svoboda, commander of the first brigade of Czechoslovakia. His troops came with us from cherkaser." Czechoslovakia?! Hearing the name of this country, I couldn't help but have a flash in my eyes. I didn't expect that rokosovsky sent me a foreign friendly army. Although I don't know the combat effectiveness of this unit, I still expressed my due enthusiasm for Svoboda. While holding his hand and shaking it, I said in a friendly way: "Hello, general Svoboda, my comrades and I welcome you here." Then chisjakov, kirilov, bezikov and others all came forward to shake hands with Svoboda. After we all sat down, I asked Svoboda with a smile, "Comrade General, can I ask general rokosovsky why he sent your troops here?" Hearing my question, Svoboda shrugged his shoulders and said, "what else can we do, of course, is to fight side by side with the Soviet army to drive the German Communists out of the territory of Ukraine." From Svoboda's words, I recognized that he seemed to know something about rokosovsky's attack plan, so I asked curiously, "Comrade General, general rokosovsky is going to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Germans soon. What do you know, can you tell us?" Instead of answering me immediately, Svoboda looked around. I knew that he was worried, so I quickly comforted him and said, "don't worry, comrade general, we are all our own people here. If you have anything to say, you will never let it out."“ Yes, yes, general Svoboda As soon as I finished, chisjakov continued: "you don't know that we have been holding fire all this time. We have been looking forward to teaching the Germans a lesson. Please tell us about the great counterattack." Svoboda seems to be a real man. Seeing that both chisjakov and I are introducing the plan of the great counterattack to him, after hesitating for a moment, Svoboda tentatively asked, "general oshanina, what I said will not be disclosed?"“ Yes, Comrade General. " Eager to know rokosovsky's battle plan, chisjakov said in advance, "everyone in our headquarters is trustworthy. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it boldly." After receiving the assurance from chisjakov, Svoboda nodded and said, "as far as I know, general rokosovsky intends to launch a full-scale attack on the German army from both cherkaser and Kiev. Now the 27th army has entered cherkaser... "Comrade General, we all know about the 27th army." When the impatient bezikov heard this, he couldn't wait to interrupt him and asked curiously, "we want to know what scale of troops the front army has assembled in the direction of Kiev." Svoboda thought about it, then said: "I'm not sure about the specific deployment of troops in Kiev. However, I listen to general rokosovsky. In addition to using three other army groups besides the 38th and 60th army groups, he is also preparing to put two tank army groups into battle. "“ My God When bezikov heard this, he couldn't help exclaiming: "general rokosovsky is really a big hand. He put in three army groups and two tank army groups at once, which is enough to crush any defense of the German army." Svoboda's words brought me great shock. I thought that apart from our group army and the 38th and 60th group army which are going to be disabled, rokosovsky would send out two group armies at most, and take a tank group army to the sky. I didn't expect that he was ready to put in so many troops. It seems that Manstein is in trouble.
