Bzikov frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Comrade commander, I think general Berek's suggestion is good. Even if we bombard the German positions intensively, many fortifications will survive. Once we attack, the fire points in these fortifications will revive, causing great casualties to our attacking troops. If we have the cooperation of the tank army, then our tanks can destroy the fire points exposed by the enemy one by one. "
"Since the chief of staff thinks the plan is feasible, let's do it." I looked at berey and told him, "one tank brigade will be set up in the East and the other in the north of the city, and the remaining one will be used as a reserve team for a rainy day. Do you understand? "
"I see!" After a loud reply, bielei sat down in his seat again.
"By the way, comrade commander." As soon as Berek sat down, povsky asked me as if he had found a new world: "where is Comrade deputy commander? Isn't he with you?"
"Well, general povsky." Kirilov replied instead of me: "in order to prevent us from being attacked by German forces from the north when we attacked moziri, comrade chisgakov temporarily went to the north to command the five divisions of the 11th army deployed there."
Seeing that all the tasks to be explained had been completed, I stood up and said to you, "well, that's all for today's meeting. Next, major general tavartkilaze will set up a headquarters in the defensive area of the 23rd army of the guards in the north of the city, while general sivakov will set up your headquarters in the defensive area of the 22nd army of the guards in the east of the city. In tomorrow's battle, all operational orders will be sent directly to your army headquarters, and then you will convey them to all divisions... "
Before I spoke, I heard someone asking in a loud voice, "where is general oshanina?"
When I heard someone calling for my order, I stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. There were more than a dozen officers and men standing at the entrance of the church hall. All the people in the headquarters heard the cry. The staff officer and the signalman turned their attention to the door, and the whole hall became quiet.
"Here I am!" I yelled at the officers and men standing at the entrance, "I don't know who's looking for me?"
Hearing my reply, the group of commanders and fighters immediately strode towards me and stopped just a few steps away. A tall officer came out of the crowd and came up to me. He reached out to me with a smile and said, "Hello, general oshanina!"
I quickly reached out to hold his outstretched hand and politely responded, "Hello, comrade commander."
As soon as my voice fell, there was a sudden Bang behind me, as if someone had broken the teacup. Instinctively, I turned to look back, only to find that the person who broke the cup was kirilov, who was bending over and frantically cleaning up the broken glass on the ground. When I saw this situation, I could not help frowning slightly and said that kirilov was usually a very stable person. What happened today?
The other side released my hand, looked at a group of commanders standing at the table and asked, "are you in a meeting?"
"Yes, comrade sharov." Without waiting for me to speak, kirilov's voice came from behind, "we are calling a battle Conference!"
I know from kirilov's address that this must be someone he knows, but I don't know why. I hear his voice is a bit out of tune, as if with a trace of fear. However, I know that this is not the time to ask him questions, so I can only keep silent and watch the change.
When he heard someone call out his name, the commander was stunned for a moment. When he saw what he was saying, a smile appeared on his face: "it's comrade kirilov. I didn't expect to see you here."
"I'm a military commissar of the group army. It's normal for you to see me here." After kirilov finished this sentence humbly, he began to introduce the identity of the other party to me: "Rita, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Ivan alexandrovitch sharov, who was awarded the rank of political commissar of national security II in the first half of this year and is the first deputy people's member of the Ministry of internal affairs. "
After listening to kirilov's introduction, I couldn't help taking a breath. I thought this man might be from the headquarters of the front army, or at best, the deputy commander or the military commissar, but I didn't expect that he had such a large background. The first deputy member of the people's Committee of the Ministry of the interior is belia's deputy and the second in charge of the Ministry of the interior. This kind of person should not be offended at will. Otherwise, not only the future will be in danger, but even his life will be in danger. Now I can see why kirilov is acting so impolite.
"Comrade oshanina," sherov asked politely, looking at me, "I'm here. I don't affect you, do I?"
"No impact, no impact." I hastily and respectfully replied, "our meeting is over, and it's about to end." After that, without waiting for him to say anything more, I told the commanders at the table, "OK, go back to your respective units immediately and get ready for battle."
"Yes Several commanders agreed in good order, then they went around the table, across the hall and left the church.
"Comrade Deputy people's commissar," after I asked Xie Luofu to sit down, I respectfully asked, "do you have anything important to do when you are here today?"
Sherov waved to the heavily armed commanders and fighters standing behind him. When they saw his gesture, they immediately turned around and walked out through the hall with neat troops, leaving only one lieutenant commander standing in the same place. It seemed that he might be his adjutant or something.
Sherov then said to me, "Comrade oshanina, I'd like to explain my current position. I'm the plenipotentiary representative of the Ministry of interior in the Belarusian front army. I am entrusted by Comrade Stalin to supervise the implementation of your attack on moziri tomorrow. "
I can't help but look a little silly when I hear sheroff say that. I thought a little-known campaign like moziri kalinkovich would not attract the attention of any big man at all. But now I find that the actual situation is quite different from what I thought. Stalin even sent the second leader of the Ministry of internal affairs. If the attack goes well, it goes without saying; If I lose the attack, I don't know if he will directly order my dismissal?
Think of here, I feel my scalp numb, a chill from the back, the chill spread quickly, and soon surrounded my whole body. I sat in my seat in a daze without saying a word, so that I didn't hear sharov even call me twice. It was kirilov who pulled my sleeve so hard that I woke up from my meditation.
Kirilov saw me staring at him blankly and said to me in a low voice, "Rita, comrade sheroff has something to say to you."
I quickly turned to look at sharov again. After a smile on my face, I asked, "Comrade Deputy people's commissar, do you have any advice?"
"I can't tell you," sheroff said politely. "I just want to know your battle plan for tomorrow, so that I can have a clear idea."
"No problem, no problem. I'll introduce you now." I heard that he just wanted to know about the battle plan, so he quickly introduced the plan to him in detail, and finally said, "in order to facilitate the command, general belov will come here before the battle starts tomorrow, and go to command with me."
"I understand." When sheroff finished, he raised his hand and looked at his watch. Then he asked me, "Comrade oshanina, do you have a place to rest here? I've been all day and all night trying to find a place to sleep
"Yes, there are many dormitories in the basement where you can rest." After I finished, without waiting for sherov to say anything, I immediately told bzikov, "chief of staff, please take the Deputy people's commissar and his subordinates to the basement."
Bezikov nodded, then stood up, went to sheroff's side, made a please sign, politely said: "Comrade Deputy people's commissar, please follow me!"
Sheroff said to me, "well, comrade oshanina, I'll see you tomorrow morning." After that, he got up, took his adjutant and followed bezikov to the basement.
After a few people left, I turned to look at kirilov and found that his forehead was covered with cold sweat. I couldn't help asking with concern, "Comrade military commissar, what's the matter with you? What's the matter with your forehead?"
Kirilov raised his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, then asked me with a wry smile, "Rita, have you ever heard of sheroff before?"
Speaking of the Ministry of internal affairs, the first thing I think of is belia, and this cheroff is covered by his light, which is normal for me not to know. I honestly replied, "no, comrade military commissar, I have never heard of him."
"While there are only two of us here, I'll tell you about him." Kirilov didn't see what kind of reaction I had, so he said to himself: "sheroff was a soldier. After graduating from the Military Academy of vorongze, he was not assigned to the army, but to the people's Committee at home and abroad. There, he got belia's respect, and since then, he has made a rapid progress. After leaving the army, he first became the director of the general police department of the Ministry of the interior, and soon was transferred to Ukraine to become a member of the Ukrainian internal and external personnel.
In Kiev, he built a close relationship with Khrushchev. Soon, he became friends with Zhukov, the new commander of Kiev special military region. Two weeks after his transfer to Kiev, China declared war on Poland and incorporated western Ukraine into the territory of the Soviet Union. He was responsible for leading the institutions of the Ministry of interior to eliminate anti Soviet elements in the new states.
Their main task is to establish and imprison Polish prisoners, and to search and arrest Polish officers, police, political activists, intellectuals and all well-known people. We need to know that it has been nearly 20 years in our country to achieve the final goal of eliminating counter revolutionaries. Obviously, it can not take so long in those newly merged states.
In addition to the Polish reactionary officers who were executed in a certain place, many poles arrested by the Ministry of interior were directly executed in prisons in western Ukraine. Because of his outstanding performance, after working in Ukraine for one and a half years, he was recalled to Moscow and appointed as the first deputy people's member of the National Security Council. Later, after the merger of the people's Committee for internal affairs and the people's Committee for national security, he was appointed Vice people's member. "
What kirilov told me scared me out in a cold sweat. Although kirilov didn't know where the Polish officers were slaughtered, I knew that Katyn was near Smolensk, where we had been stationed. I didn't expect that this tall, polite looking man was responsible for such a massacre. No wonder kirilov just sat with him for a while and was scared out in a cold sweat. I don't understand what Stalin thought, why he suddenly sent such a man to me, and there was no prior information. As soon as I thought of it, the telephone on my desk suddenly rang. I picked up the topic and pasted it in my ear. I asked aloud, "Hello, where are you?"“ Rita, I'm rokosovsky From the receiver came rokosovsky's familiar voice, "has Comrade sharov come to you?"“ Yes, Comrade General. " When I heard rokosovsky's question, I replied respectfully: "he arrived half an hour ago. I reported to him the battle plan for tomorrow, and now he has gone to rest." After I finished, rokosovsky said with some regret, "I'm sorry, Rita. I didn't know the superior would send him to you suddenly, so I didn't have time to inform you. Don't worry. Although his position is very high, he is still a reasonable person. I believe you will get along well. " Since Stalin sent me a supervisor, if I was not satisfied, I would have to accept it. Otherwise, if someone made a report about me and said that I was resentful, I would not be able to bear it. At the moment, hearing the reminder from rokosovsky, I can only say with a puffy face: "don't worry, senior general, I will do a good job in communication with comrades of the vice people's Committee to ensure the smooth progress of the battle to capture moziri tomorrow."“ Are you ready for the attack? " Asked rokosovsky uneasily“ Please rest assured, senior general, "I assured rokosovsky with confidence," my troops are ready for all battles. As soon as the time comes, they can launch an attack on moziri immediately. "“ How sure are you? "“ At least 70% of the time. " I feel a little confident when I think that our army is superior in strength. However, in order to prevent something unexpected from happening, I said cautiously: "as long as the enemy in the North doesn't make any small moves, we can try our best to win moziri."“ Good, good. " Hearing that I was so confident, rokosovsky said with satisfaction: "then I am here waiting for the good news of your victory. Good luck
