Chapter 1434

After hearing my report, rokosovsky was also surprised. I heard him asking malining next to him: "Comrade chief of staff, do you know that the superior has sent more artillery troops to the sixth group army of the guards?" No notice! What about the transfer of the fifth tank army I don't know?! I see

After asking malining, rokosovsky said awkwardly, "Rita, I don't know anything about the transfer of tank troops or the increase of artillery troops by you."

"Comrade commander," as soon as he finished, I quickly asked, "although it is difficult for us to use tank troops on a large scale in the existing area, the transfer of all the superior tank troops will still have an impact on the next operations of our group army."

Listen to me, rokosovsky was silent for a long time before he said, "Rita, we may soon launch a full-scale attack on the German army in Leningrad and Belarus at the same time. Perhaps the higher authorities have taken into account the large number of new-type tanks allocated to the Fifth Army of close guard tanks, so that they can gain an absolute advantage in the tank battle with the German armored forces on the open plain. The tank army has been transferred. I believe it won't be long before new tank troops will be added to you. "

As a matter of fact, according to what I know, in the north of moziri and kalinkovich, there are too many swampy areas to deploy too many tanks. The superior has given us so many artillery, even without tanks, we can attack cities and plunder land. But rokosovsky said that the news of the attack on the German army in the near future confirmed that I was very excited. I tentatively asked, "senior general, can I ask when our army will launch a counter attack on the German army?"

"Rita, this attack is mainly a joint operation of the Leningrad front army, the volhoff front army, the second front army along the Baltic coast and the red flag Baltic Fleet against the German northern army group in Leningrad and its surrounding areas." I didn't expect that when rokosovsky heard my question, he said: "since the task of our front army is only to cooperate with friendly forces, there are not many troops participating in the battle, and your group army will not take part in this offensive battle."

"It's a pity," I said bitterly. I was disappointed to hear that the counterattack was not for our group army. I saw that we could only stick to moziri and kalinkovich, continue to confront the ninth group army of the German army, and watch the friendly troops annihilate the enemy

"Speaking of the ninth group army of the German army, I have one thing in mind. I want to inform you. The former commander of the group army, maudel, was appointed commander-in-chief of the German northern group army by Hitler "As for who will take over the post of commander of the ninth group army, it's not very clear now, so you should prevent the German army from giving you a sudden blow after changing the commander," rokosovsky said in a smooth tone

"Don't worry, comrade commander." Hearing rokosovsky's worry, I said with disapproval: "we have been waiting for the Germans. If they don't come, we will beat them to pieces as long as they come."

When I put down the phone, I found that all the people sitting at the table focused on me. On behalf of everyone, chisjakov asked, "Comrade commander, I don't know what good news the senior general has told you."

"It's really good news," I said. After I finished, I went to the wall, picked up the stick, pointed to the map and said to you, "please see, in January last year, the troops of Leningrad front army and volhoff front army carried out a campaign to break through the German encirclement south of schluselberg, and successfully restored the land contact between the city and the country.

After a year of preparation, the supreme command was ready to carry out a larger campaign to eliminate the German army in the region. In a few days, the Leningrad front army, together with the volhoff front army, the second front army along the Baltic coast and the red flag Baltic Fleet, will launch a large-scale offensive campaign against the German northern army group in Leningrad and Novgorod.

According to my judgment, after the end of this campaign, our troops will be able to completely liberate Leningrad, which is blocked by the North German army, eliminate the German army in the whole territory of Leningrad state and part of the territory of Kalinin state, and smoothly advance to the territory of Estonia. "

After hearing what I said, beloborodov, full of doubts, asked: "Comrade commander, are you really so sure about our new year's offensive? After the end of this round of campaign, can we really achieve the huge and even brilliant results you said? "

I was thinking about how to answer this question of beloborodov, and berzikov replied with a smile: "general beloborodov, you may not have much time to deal with our commander, so that's why you asked. You know, even Marshal Zhukov said that she had a strategic vision. At the beginning of a campaign, she could give a general idea of what kind of results she could achieve. "

I feel a little ashamed to hear bzikov praise me. In fact, I just know a little bit about the historical process. Otherwise, how can I tell Zhukov before the start of the Moscow defense, the Stalingrad defense and the Kursk battle, that our army will surely win the final victory.

In my opinion, bezikov had to go on. He quickly raised his hand to interrupt him and said to beloborodov, "Comrade General, our army has gradually gained an advantage in the battlefield. Although we can't drive all the enemies out of our country in a moment, every battle we will carry out in the future will achieve great results, After consuming a large number of German troops, one city after another was liberated from the rule of the Communist Party. "

Before I finished, the high-frequency telephone on the desk suddenly rang. I stare at the phone that can call outside, and I wonder to myself, who will call me at this time? Bezikov was the nearest to the phone. He grabbed the phone, put the receiver to his ear and listened for a while. His face suddenly showed a joyful expression. He said repeatedly, "I understand, I understand, I completely understand!"

After he put down the phone, I asked curiously, "chief of staff, who is calling?"

"Comrade commander, this is general malining, chief of staff of the front army." Bezikov stood up and faced me and said, "he told me that he had just been informed by his superior that he would send us a new infantry army tomorrow."

"The new infantry?" When I heard that, I couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked, "what's the serial number?"

"It's the 103rd infantry army, which governs the 29th and 270th infantry divisions," bezikov replied. "There are also two tank brigades and two tank regiments."

When chisgakov heard this, he broke in and asked, "what's the serial number of the tank brigade and the tank regiment?"

Bezikov turned to chisjakov and said, "the 34th tank brigade and the 2nd tank regiment, the 143rd tank brigade and the 47th tank regiment."

"Did the superior say that in addition to the Fifth Army of close guard tanks, those troops should be transferred away?" I continued.

Bezikov looked at the two guards who were sitting opposite him and said, "general sivakov's 22nd guard has added the 47th and 51st infantry divisions in addition to retaining the 90th guard division; The 23rd army of general tavartkilaze retained the 51st division of the guards, joined the 67th and 71st divisions of the former 23rd army, and transferred the 52nd and 375TH divisions of the guards. " At this point, he turned to look at me and continued, "at the same time, general Xie Liujin's close guard division 8.9, directly under the group army, was transferred."

After listening to him, I calculated to myself, and then said slowly, "chief of staff, even if the higher authorities want to transfer our 52nd, 77th, 8.9 and 375 divisions besides the Fifth Army of general berey's close guard tanks, right?"

When bizikov heard me ask, he calculated for a moment, and then replied, "yes, comrade commander, that's right. The superior transferred four infantry divisions and one tank army."

"Although we have been transferred four infantry divisions, our superiors have given us two additional armies, a total of five infantry divisions." Seeing that bzikov's face was livid, chisgakov stood up and said with a smile, "in this way, our strength has been greatly strengthened, no matter it has not weakened."

"But, comrade deputy commander." Bezikov said somewhat unconvinced: "with the infantry division transferred together, there are also general bere's tank troops, which have a great impact on our ability to attack fortified positions."

"Chief of staff, I think you're over worried." "You know, in the north of moziri and kalinkovych, it is impossible to use large-scale tank troops, so the superior will not only transfer the tank troops, but also supply us with a large number of artillery troops. With so many artillery, I believe that we should have no problem in seizing the cities heavily guarded by the enemy. "

Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere in the room became a little tense, beloborodov suddenly said, "Comrade commander, I have a request for you to let our army be the main force in the battle of liberating piraroth."

As soon as his words came to an end, sivakov was a little reluctant: "general beloborodov, why do you want your troops to attack bilarus? Let's leave this task to our army. "

Seeing that sivakov wanted to compete with himself, beloborodov laughed and put forward a compromise to the other side: "general sivakov, do you think this is OK? Our two armies will launch an attack against laros at the same time to see whose army will first put the red flag on the top of the municipal building."

When I heard beloborodov say this, I couldn't help asking curiously, "general beloborodov, why do you want to put the red flag on the top of the municipal building?" According to my idea, as long as the troops rush into the city and insert the red flag on the top of any high-rise building, it will be a great victory.

But beloborodov looked at me and said strangely, "Comrade commander, don't you know bilarus is a city built in the Middle Ages?"

Beloborodov's words made me even more confused. I asked, "it seems that there is no connection between the red flag on the top of the municipal building and whether the city was built in the Middle Ages?"

"According to the medieval tradition," beloborodov patiently explained to me, "as long as the flag is placed on the top of the city's municipal building, it represents the occupation of the city." I turned to kirilov and asked in a low voice, "Comrade military commissar, is there such a tradition?" Kirilov nodded slightly, then said to beloborodov with a smile, "general beloborodov, our commander is still young. She doesn't know much about tradition. So it's not clear that when seizing a city built in the middle ages, the flag should be placed on the roof of the municipal building. " After kirilov finished, I asked tentatively, "Comrade military commissar, I have a question. Is it true that as long as the red flag is planted on the top of the municipal building, even if the battle in the city has not been decided, we have occupied the city? "“ Yes, it is Kirilov nodded with a smile and gave me a positive answer. After listening to his explanation, I seem to understand something. No wonder when the Berlin campaign was still in full swing, some commanders organized a special team to plant the red flag on the dome of the parliament building. It was because of this tradition. When kirilov saw that I understood the meaning of setting up flags in the municipal building, he suddenly changed the topic and said to me, "Rita, many of our troops are leaving in the next few days. Do you think we should call all the division commanders together for a meeting and give them practice by the way?" In fact, even if kirilov doesn't say it, I will call those teachers who are going to leave together to say goodbye. After all, they have been fighting together for such a long time, and they get along very well with each other. It is very necessary to practice them. Therefore, I nodded my head and said, "I agree with comrades of the military commissar that it is necessary to practice these comrades before they go to new battlefields." After that, I told bzikov: "chief of staff, the four infantry divisions to be transferred by the higher authorities will not leave until the new troops arrive here to take over the defense. So the practice ceremony for them can be pushed back a little. And general bielei will lead the troops to withdraw from our defense area tomorrow. I think we'd better practice it for him and the commanders at all levels of the tank army first. "
