Chapter 1357

At the end of the conversation with vatukin, I raised my hand to salute him, turned and walked out the door. Who knows just walked to the door, suddenly heard him calling me: "Comrade oshanina, wait a moment, please wait a moment."

I quickly stopped, turned and looked at him, politely asked: "senior general, do you have any instructions?"

He came up to me quickly and said, "I almost forgot that Bogoliubov, chief of staff of the front army, is in the next room. Go to him and give him the contact information of the reconnaissance team in Lutsk."

"Yes, I'm going." After that, I raised my hand again and walked out of the room.

I walked a few steps along the carpeted corridor and saw a room with an open door, in which many commanders were busy nervously. I thought that was what watujing said, so I stepped in.

Entering the room, I quickly scanned it with my eyes, and saw those commanders who were busy in front of the map or the telephone, either the school officer or the lieutenant, who were definitely not the people I was looking for. I was about to find someone to ask where the chief of staff was. Suddenly, a low voice sounded behind me: "who are you? What are you doing in my headquarters?"

I quickly turned around and saw a middle-aged commander without a military cap standing at the door, frowning and looking up and down at me. I habitually glanced at each other's epaulets and saw that they were the same rank as me. Then I guessed that this man must be the chief of staff I was looking for, general Bogoliubov. So I tentatively asked, "are you the chief of staff, general Bogoliubov?"

"Are you general o'shanina?" Bogoliubov guessed his identity when he saw me. He couldn't help laughing twice. Then he asked in a low voice, "commander watujing asked you to come to me?"

"Yes, chief of staff," I replied positively, "it was the senior general who asked me to come to you."

Bogoliubov looked into the room, then took one side of his body and made a gesture to the outside: "Comrade oshanina, we'd better find a quiet place to talk about this."

I know that Bogoliubov called me to another place to talk about the search for the amber room, because it was a confidential matter, and it was not suitable for too many people to know. There are no more than five people in my command who know about it.

I followed him to a small room not far away, with simple facilities, a desk and two armchairs. When we entered, he closed the door behind us, then went to the back of his desk and sat down. He gestured to me and said, "please sit down, comrade oshanina."

After I sat down, I first asked: "Comrade chief of staff, because of the recent fierce war, I have entrusted all matters related to the treasure hunting detachment to Comrade kirilov, military commissar of the group army. I wonder if he has reported the latest progress to you?"

Bogoliubov shook his head and said without expression: "no, I have never contacted your military commissar Comrade kirilov since I took office."

I can hear a trace of dissatisfaction from his tone. He may think that we have never communicated with him on the treasure hunt. Now that the army is going to withdraw to the rear to rest, he will be responsible for it. A little emotion is inevitable. In order to prevent him from wearing shoes for them in the future, I accompanied them carefully and said, "since Comrade kirilov has not reported this to you, I will report it to you now."

Seeing that he nodded his head slightly to show his agreement, I reported to him what I knew about the team. While I was telling the whole story, Bogoliubov kept on remembering it. When he had finished, he looked up and asked, a little puzzled, "why, there has been no news since lieutenant gretka got into the bank?"

I think of gretka posing as a German photographer and sneaking into the bank vault to take pictures of cultural relics. Kirilov will definitely report to me if there is any following. Since he has never mentioned it in front of me, it proves that gretka has never come out of the bank. Thinking of this, I definitely replied: "yes, comrade chief of staff, if he has come out of the bank, the reconnaissance team will report to me as soon as possible. Unfortunately, unfortunately, I haven't received any information in this respect up to now. "

Bogoliubov listened to me, frowning closer and closer, and then tentatively asked, "Comrade oshanina, do you think it's possible that gretka has defected, so the reconnaissance team waiting outside can't get accurate information."

"No, comrade chief of staff, this is absolutely impossible." When I heard his suspicion of gretka, I couldn't help standing up from my seat and yelling at him: "although gretka is German, he has been very good since he defected to our army. I don't think he can mutiny." At this point, I realized that I was a little too excited. I quickly lowered my voice and muttered, "if you want to mutiny, you will mutiny as early as Stalingrad. Do you still have to wait until now?"

Seeing that I firmly supported gretka, Bogoliubov nodded and then said, "Comrade o'shanina, although I saw you for the first time, I believe what you said will not be wrong. Since lieutenant gretka will not rebel, is it another possibility that he will not show up, that is, he has been identified by the enemy and imprisoned? "

"It's not ruled out." The thought that gretka might have been locked up by the Germans and that travkin's reconnaissance mission was a failure made me panic. I was silent for a long time. After my mood became stable, I began to say, "Comrade chief of staff, I have reported to you all the things I know. As for the treasure hunt team, since I have officially handed it over to you, I have no right to ask what happens next. " Hearing that I shirked all my responsibilities, Bogoliubov could not help looking at me in surprise. After a long time, he said, "well, comrade oshanina, since I have officially taken over the task of the reconnaissance team, I will personally investigate what happened."“ Comrade chief of staff. " Seeing that my conversation with him was over, I asked directly, "can I leave now? I'm also going to rush back to the army to arrange for the withdrawal of the whole army. "“ I was just about to tell you about it Bogoleubov also stood up and said to me, "when you are on your way to Kiev, after consulting the commander, I have ordered the 77th and 89th divisions of the guards who are staying in fativ to drive to Kiev immediately. I don't think you can go far out of the city, you'll meet a convoy carrying troops. " I left Kiev with the guard company and drove West for two hours. As I approached kanevka, I saw a motorcade in the distance. I hastened to order the driver of the armored vehicle: "speed up to meet." In a few minutes, I saw the front of the team began to slow down, and soon stopped at the side of the car. The front door of the co driver's side of the truck opened, and then an officer jumped down from it and quickly ran towards the armored car I was in. I pushed the door open, jumped down and stood by a snowdrift, waiting for the officer to arrive. The officer came to me, raised his hand and respectfully reported, "Comrade commander, Lieutenant bolowensky, deputy commander of the first company of the guard battalion of the 89th division of the guards, reports to you that our department is being ordered to move to Kiev!" I raised my hand and asked, "where is major general Xie Liujin, your teacher?"“ "In the back," the second lieutenant said with a wave of his head. "I think he knows you're here and will report to you soon." Just then, I saw a jeep close to the motorcade parked on the side of the road, driving towards us quickly. I guess it might be sherekin, so I stopped talking with the lieutenant and turned to the jeep. The jeep came to a sudden stop 20 meters away from us, then the doors on both sides opened, and two commanders jumped out of the car and ran towards me quickly. I only took a look and recognized Mr. Xie Liujin and his political commissar, Lieutenant Colonel ye ermohin. They came to me and raised their hands to salute. They were about to report, but I raised my hand to stop them. I asked first, "general Xie Liujin, how many people are left in your division?"“ Report to commander, "Xie Liujin took a step forward and replied," there are still 4000 people in the whole division, so we can continue to fight with the enemy. "“ The superior has given the combat task to the friendly forces. " The 89th division of Jinwei is a reserve force left by me. They are seldom sent to the battlefield. Now they are only half of the troops left, so the casualties of other divisions will be more serious. I said with a heavy heart, "the reason why I'm here to stop you is to let you clean the battlefield and gather the bodies of the enemy and us outside the town of kanevka." Xie Liujin agreed, turned around and ran back to the team, shouting orders at the back. I looked at the commanders and fighters in the car. With Xie Liujin's order, I jumped off the truck one after another and quickly lined up beside the car. I couldn't help nodding with satisfaction. In the final analysis, my heart is elite. The speed of gathering is much faster than others. Xie Liujin watched the troops forming under the car, ran back to me, and reported to me, "Comrade commander, the troops have been assembled. Please direct the next step." With a wave of my hand, I announced, "pass my orders, all of you turn left and move towards kanevka!"
