Chapter 1439

After working out a plan to deal with the cold guns and guns of the German army, I ordered bezikov to call sivakov and tavartkilaze, and summon them to my headquarters. In addition, considering that the artillery will also play a big role in the next operation, I personally called povsky and asked him to come to my headquarters for a meeting.

When the three commanders who received the notice came, our temporary military meeting began. When I heard clearly that I had called them here to deal with the cold guns and guns of the German army, tavartkilaze complained: "great, comrade commander, it should have been done a long time ago. The enemy's snipers often lurk in front of our positions, sniping our officers who go to the front to inspect. Yesterday, a battalion commander of the 51st division of Jinwei was killed on the spot because he was shot in the head while inspecting the frontier. "

"What, a battalion commander of the 51st division of Jinwei was killed by snipers?" Hearing the unexpected news, I almost jumped out of my seat. I slapped the table hard and said angrily, "why didn't shijerikov report to me in time when such a big thing happened?"

Just when I was about to ask bzikov to call shejerikov, tavartkilaze took the initiative to take responsibility for himself: "Comrade commander, I can't blame Colonel shejerikov for this. After receiving his report, I didn't let him report it. After all, it's no big deal... "

The disapproval and understatement on tawalter killazer's face completely angered me. I slapped the table, stood up and yelled at him: "general tavartkilaze, let me ask you, one of our major or battalion commander captains was killed by German snipers during the frontier inspection. It's not a big deal. What's a big deal? Is it a big deal if the people who are killed by jerikov are killed, or if you are killed, or even if I am killed by the enemy's snipers? "

In the face of my series of reproaches, tawalter killazer turned red and speechless.

"Well, comrade commander, don't get angry for the moment." Seeing that I was furious, chisgakov came out in time to make a comeback: "tavartkilaze didn't report it. Maybe he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. After all, the proportion of our commanders and fighters killed in the battle is quite high. Not to mention the battalion commander, even the injury or sacrifice of the commander or even the commander at a higher level is very common. Let's talk about how to deal with the cold guns and cold guns of the German army. "

I called these commanders here today to give them the task of dealing with the cold guns and cold guns of the German army, not to get angry with anyone. Instead of criticizing tavartkilaze, I controlled my emotions and said, "we'll talk about dealing with snipers later. Now let's talk about how to deal with the German cold artillery. "

Povsky heard me say this, quickly stood up, respectfully asked: "Comrade commander, do not know what our artillery task is?"

"It's simple, general povsky." Bezikov said: "you should send artillery observers at the front. Once the enemy fire cold artillery at our position, the observers should quickly calculate the location of the enemy artillery and provide accurate data to the artillery in the rear. So that our artillery can strike at the enemy's artillery positions. "

"Comrade commander, our artillery is now deployed to the south of the city." For my proposal, povsky was very embarrassed: "if we want to attack the German artillery positions, we will deploy new artillery positions in the north of the city. I'm worried... "

"What are you worried about?" I saw that bofsky was eager to talk but stopped. He asked, "if you have any difficulties, just say it. I'll see if I can find a solution."

After receiving my encouragement, povsky continued: "once we deploy artillery positions in the north of the city, it will become a priority target for the German army. In order to destroy us, they may deliberately fire cold artillery at our forward positions. As soon as we fight back, they can use the artillery fire to counter us. I'm afraid that in the end, the enemy's artillery will not be destroyed, but our artillery will suffer a lot. "

After listening to his worry that stealing chicken will not erode rice, I said to him with a smile: "general povsky, if it was a few months ago, you said that this situation is really unavoidable. But now that we have firmly grasped the air supremacy of the battlefield, once the German artillery positions are exposed, our bombers will rush in and blow up their artillery. When it comes to German artillery, you don't have to worry about it. Do you forget that there are two powerful self-propelled artillery regiments in the artillery establishment of our group army? "

"Self propelled artillery regiment?" After repeating the word, povsky asked tentatively, "Comrade commander, do you mean the 333rd and 335th self-propelled artillery regiments of the guards?"

"Yes, it's the 333rd self-propelled artillery regiment and the 335th self-propelled artillery regiment adapted from major shuklin's regiment." I said to povsky with a smile, "don't forget that the characteristic of self-propelled artillery regiment is its strong mobility. Once the position of the enemy's artillery position is found, let the self-propelled artillery regiment choose an open place to launch, and immediately transfer the position after several rounds of shelling on the enemy. Even if the enemy's artillery strikes back, it will only hit an open space. Are you right? "

"Yes, yes, comrade commander." Listening to my explanation, povsky's face also showed a smile: "if you don't remind me, I forget that there are two such powerful regiments in my hands. When I go back later, I will deploy them in the northern suburbs of the two cities, ready to attack German artillery at any time."

"The problem of cold guns has been solved. Now let's talk about how to deal with the cold guns of the German army." After I finished, I scanned sivakov and tavartkiraze several times and asked, "which one of you will talk first?"

"Comrade commander, let me talk about it first." This time, sivakov stood up and said to me, "after you and the general left, I called the division commanders of all divisions to the military headquarters for a meeting, so that we could work together to work out a response."

"You've got a response?" When I heard what sivakov said, I couldn't help but feel shocked. I thought that they were all people who didn't dare to make decisions without orders. I didn't expect that rokosovsky and I had just left his defense area when he organized his subordinates to work out the corresponding plan. So I asked curiously, "general sivakov, what's your plan, Tell us all about it. "

Sivakov nodded and then said, "we are prepared to take three measures against the enemy's cold guns. 1、 Strengthen the machine gun on duty at the front. Once the location of the enemy's sniper is found, fire suppression will be carried out immediately; 2、 Set up two or three mortar teams in the first trench to destroy the hidden snipers with artillery fire; The third is that we also organize a sniper team and use snipers to fight snipers. "

After listening to sivakov's plan, I looked around and asked, "what do you think of general sivakov's three plans?"

"I think it's good." The first person to express his opinion was chisjakov, who said thoughtfully: "the enemy's snipers usually act alone, and occasionally two people act together. There should be no problem in using the methods proposed by general sivakov to eliminate the enemy's snipers. "

"I agree with Comrade deputy commander." "I think in addition to the above three methods, we can also send a search team based on platoon to round up those snipers who have exposed their targets," bezikov echoed chisjakov's statement He was deeply afraid that anyone would raise an objection. He specially stressed that "no matter how powerful the enemy's snipers are, they only have one gun. In the face of a large number of our soldiers, they will end up either captured alive or killed. There is no third possibility."

"I think the plan that general sivakov heard is very applicable." After they spoke one after another, I also expressed my own opinion: "the machine gun and mortar teams should be deployed as soon as possible, and the sniper team should be set up as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, I first turned my eyes to tavartkilaze and said to him, "Comrade General, although the whole group army has been greatly readjusted, your troops are all the veteran members of the original sixth group army. There should be a detailed list of snipers in each division. After the meeting, you will go back to study with your teachers how to set up the sniper team. "

"Yes Hearing what I said, tavartkilaze quickly stood up and said, "I will set up the sniper team as soon as possible."

I nodded silently, then turned my eyes to sivakov: "general sivakov, you have two divisions in your hand. They are new troops sent by our superiors, so it may be a bit more troublesome to set up a sniper team. After you return to the army, ask all divisions to gather the sharpshooters, and then choose the right person from them. Do you understand? "

"I understand." Sivakov also stood up and replied, "as soon as I get back to the army, I will immediately proceed with this matter."

"Now that the tasks are clear, let's break up!"

…………

Early the next morning, sivakov called me. "Comrade commander, I have selected more than 200 sharpshooters from the 47th and 51st divisions of the infantry. After overnight selection, more than 80 of them are qualified," he told me excitedly

I was startled to hear what sivakov said. If so many sniper qualified fighters are selected from two guard divisions, I still believe. But now I am puzzled by the fact that so many people have been selected from the ordinary infantry division. You know, almost all of these troops are recruits. If you want to think of so many people who can be snipers, it is only possible that there are a large number of hunters in the recruits.

I asked, full of questions, "general sivakov, is the data you gave me correct? As far as I know, most of the ordinary infantry divisions are recruits. Most of them have not received any professional military training. It is estimated that they don't even have enough guns. How can they pick out so many snipers? "

"It's true, comrade commander." When sivakov saw that I didn't believe him, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He even introduced to me and said, "among the more than 200 sharpshooters, the 51st infantry division accounts for two-thirds of the total. Maybe it's because they were garrison troops before the reorganization."

"Garrison?" When I heard sivakov say this, I couldn't help asking curiously, "is it the garrison of Moscow?"“ Ah, it's not. " Sivakov replied somewhat flustered: "it's a garrison in a medium-sized city along the Volga River. Although most of the soldiers have never been on the battlefield, their technical and tactical level is still very good."“ General sivakov, "after listening to his explanation, I finally understood why so many sharpshooters appeared. These garrison troops staying in the rear must be trained frequently. It's not surprising that their technical and tactical level is higher than that of ordinary troops. I told him," you should immediately organize these 80 soldiers who meet the standard into a sniper company, And appoint a commander in charge. After selecting the right commander, bring him to me. I'll give him some important notes in person. "“ All right, comrade commander. " Sivakov replied respectfully, "I'll bring you the commander of the sniper company at noon at the latest." At noon, I was standing on the wall with chisgakov, staring at the map to study the situation between the enemy and ourselves, when I heard sivakov's voice coming from behind: "Comrade commander, major general sivakov, commander of the 22nd army of the guards, has been ordered to come!" My eyes were fixed on the map, and without looking back, I asked, "general sivakov, the commander of the sniper company, have you brought it to me?"“ Yes, comrade commander. " "I've brought him," sivakov replied in a positive tone I wanted to see what the commander sivakov had chosen was like. I slowly turned around and looked in the direction sivakov was standing. I saw a young officer who was about the same height as him standing behind him. When I turned around, the officer quickly stepped forward, raised his hand to the brim of his hat, and said in a loud voice, "Comrade commander, Captain o'shaning, deputy company of sniper company of the 22nd army of the guards, report to you! I have been ordered to report to you. Please give me directions! " In fact, as soon as the other party spoke, I recognized that the person I was most afraid to see was o'shanin. After hearing his name clearly, my heart beat faster. I thought to myself, "how can he be here? Is his memory restored? Does he remember who it is? "
