Chapter 1449

From the afternoon to the evening, no matter whether we wait for vasilevsky's call or even Zhukov's call. Chisgakov, who was waiting for the call with me, sighed and said disappointedly, "Comrade commander, it seems that our superior is not optimistic about our plan, so they don't even make a phone call."

Bezikov also said dejectedly: "I thought Marshal Zhukov had approved your judgment, so it would certainly arouse the necessary attention of the general staff. Who knows, up to now, they don't believe you at all."

I couldn't wait for a call from Moscow. I was already in a state of confusion. At this moment, when I heard the harmony between chisjakov and bezikov, I became more and more upset. I waved to them and said, "OK, deputy commander and chief of staff, it's getting late. You go back to have a rest first. We'll talk about something tomorrow."

After they left, I went back to my room. After a simple wash, I lay down in bed. I wanted to have a good sleep, but I didn't feel sleepy because I had something on my mind. Lying on my bed, I tried to recall the dialogue between myself and Zhukov. I found that all the contents were the strategies and tactics adopted by the Soviet army in the implementation of the Belarus campaign in real history. There should be no mistakes. But why did the people in the general staff ignore them?

After a sleepless night, I got up early and went to the headquarters. As soon as I came out of the basement, I saw a staff officer come quickly over me. Seeing him in a hurry, I guessed that there might be something important to report to me, so I stopped and waited for him.

"Comrade commander," the staff officer quickly came to me, raised his hand to salute, and reported, "just received a phone call from the airport. They reported that a plane from the headquarters of the front army had landed a few minutes ago."

"The plane from the front command?" When I heard this, I frowned and asked, "did they say who was on the plane?"

The staff officer first shook his head, then nodded and replied, "they said there were two generals."

Seeing that I couldn't get more information from the staff officer, I waved to him to go back to work. I walked back and forth at the conference table with my hands behind my back, wondering which two generals of the front army had come to inspect us?

"Comrade commander," I was thinking hard when a voice of chisgakov came from my side. "You've been walking around here in the morning. Are you thinking about something important?"

"Comrade deputy commander, you are just in time." When he came up to me, I told him that two generals had arrived by plane, and finally said, "unfortunately, we don't know which two generals are here."

However, after listening to me, chisjakov raised his hand, looked at his watch and said calmly, "don't worry, comrade commander. It's only forty minutes from the airport to our headquarters. We'll know who it is after a while." After that, he met a staff officer and said, "go up to the clock tower. When you see a car coming, come down and let us know."

After the staff left, he specially explained to me: "no matter who is coming, after all, it's from the headquarters of the front army. We should go out to meet them. But it's cold now, and it's not appropriate to wait outside too early. That's why I asked the staff to go up and observe. When the bus comes, it's not too late for us to go out to meet it. "

What I am most concerned about at the moment is what kind of mission these two generals are carrying, and whether they are ordered to reprimand me, saying that what I said yesterday is nonsense? If I am really reprimanded by the superior for this, it may affect my future.

Seeing my sad face, chisjakov immediately asked with concern, "Comrade commander, are you worried that the two generals from the headquarters of the front army were sent by the higher authorities to reprimand you?"

"Yes, comrade deputy commander." In front of my partner, I didn't hide my true thoughts. After nodding, I answered truthfully, "what I'm worried about is this matter."

"I don't think so." Chisjakov said in an uncertain tone: "if the superior wants to reprimand you, he can call you or send you a telegram. There is no need to send two people specially. Unless... "When he said this, he suddenly stopped, then shook his head desperately and said," no, it shouldn't be like this. "

I was startled by his appearance, which made me a little flustered and asked, "unless something, my deputy commander, can you finish your words all at once, or you will scare me out of heart disease sooner or later."

"If it had been before, I would have thought that the superior might have sent you to take over." Chisjakov said thoughtfully: "but under the current situation, it is obviously very unclear to remove you from your post, so I can't judge what their real intention is?"

After a while, bzikov had come. After listening to the conjecture of chisjakov and me, he shook his head and said, "Comrade commander, I think you are a fan of the game. How can you just think about the bad side? I think they may have been ordered to discuss the details with you. "

Sometimes people like to trouble themselves. As soon as chisjakov and I got to the top of our horns, we thought that the people from the headquarters of the front army must have come to teach me a lesson. They didn't think about other aspects at all. After listening to what bezikov said, I immediately had a feeling of being shocked. I nodded my head and said, "yes, the chief of staff is right. How can we always think of things in a bad direction. Maybe Marshal Zhukov should study the details after thinking about it all night, so he asked the commander of the front army to send a special person to us. "

As soon as I finished, the telephone on the desk rang suddenly. Bzikov grabbed the microphone and listened to it for a moment. Then he handed it to me and said in a low voice, "Comrade commander, it's general rokosovsky."

I nervously took the microphone, stuck it to my ear and said, "Hello, senior general, do you have any instructions?"

"Comrade marinin, are you there?" Rokosovsky didn't say any nonsense, but asked directly.

"Chief of staff malinin?" Rokosovsky's words made me confused. Just as I wanted to ask what was going on, I suddenly thought of the two generals who were coming to us. I asked in surprise: "Comrade General, did you say that it was general malining who came to me by plane?"

"Not him, who else?" "I think he should be at your headquarters, so I'm calling to ask," rokosovsky said in a slightly discontented tone

"Comrade General, chief of staff malining has not arrived yet." When I heard that malining was one of the people who came here, I felt at ease. Even if the superior sent me to reprimand me, at least a high-level commander could say a few good words for me. I quickly and respectfully reported to rokosovsky: "but he and another commander are already on the way."

"Why, don't you know who the other person is?" When rokosovsky heard me say this, he was stunned and then asked, "I thought you knew that already?"

"Yes, Comrade General." I heard a trace of dissatisfaction from his tone, so I explained: "the airport only reported two generals, but they didn't make it clear who they were."

Rokosovsky heard me say this, immediately laughed: "since you don't know who the other person is, I won't tell you for the time being, so we can give you a surprise when we meet."

After I put down the phone, I said to chisgakov and bzikov standing beside me, "the senior general said that we are here general malining, chief of staff, and another mysterious figure who can surprise us."

"Mysterious people?" Don't zikov quick mouth, preemptive said: "can it be Marshal Zhukov?"

"Nonsense, how can it be." As soon as his words came to an end, chisgakov taught him, "Zhukov is a marshal, but only two generals have come to us."

"Comrades commander, comrades commander," the staff officer, who had just been sent to the bell tower by chisgakov, trotted down the stairs and reported to us, "there are three jeeps in the distance. They may be the people you are waiting for."

I waited for the staff to finish, then I rushed to chisgakov. They waved their heads and said, "come on, let's go out to meet them."

The three of us stood on the platform in front of the church for a few minutes and saw two jeeps coming. The car in front of us drove straight past the door, drove forward for more than ten meters and then stopped. The second car stopped at the church steps. I knew that malining and the mysterious general must be sitting in the car, so I took chisgakov to meet them.

Before I got to the door, the back door facing me opened and a chubby general came out. At a glance, I recognized that it was really malining, the chief of staff I was familiar with, so I quickly extended my hand to him and said in a friendly way: "Hello, chief of staff, welcome to visit us."

Malining shook hands with a smile on his face, then shook his head at the open door behind him and said, "Rita, I'll introduce you to my companion."

Out of the car came a general in a military coat and a cylindrical cap. Looking at the commander in front of me, who was about the same size as malining and had a round face, and was carrying the same rank as me, I hesitated. I didn't know whether I should salute him first or wait for him to salute me first.

When I was embarrassed, I heard malining introduce to me: "Rita, you don't know him. This is lieutenant general Ivanov, the deputy chief of the general staff of the Red Army. He came here to see you on the order of Marshal vassilevsky."

After learning the other party's true identity, I immediately saluted him without hesitation. Although I have the same rank as him, others are the deputy chief of the general staff, whose position is much higher than mine. How can he salute me first? So after my salutation, I said with the respectful attitude of the lower level to the higher level: "Comrade deputy chief of the general staff, welcome to my headquarters."

Ivanov is also a very easy-going person. After he raised his hand to return the salute, he shook hands with me, chisjakov and bezikov one by one. After he finished shaking hands with bezikov, I politely said to him, "Comrade deputy chief of general staff, please come in!"

After we returned to the conference table in the corner of the hall and sat down, Ivanov looked left and right, and then asked me, "general oshanina, I don't know where your military commissar is?" Before I could answer, malining, who was sitting on the other side of Ivanov, approached him and said in a low voice, "Comrade deputy chief of general staff, I'll explain this to you. As a result of the orders received by the sixth group army of the close guard, no matter it is to build a defense in the moziri kalinkovich area, it is also necessary to make the life of the city residents return to normal as soon as possible. Comrade kirilov is in full charge of this matter, so he is staying in the city now. If there is any problem, he can deal with it in time. " After listening to malining's explanation, Ivanov nodded, turned to look at me and asked casually, "Comrade oshanina, how is the current urban reconstruction going?"“ The overall progress is good. " Although I went to the city a few times, I still know the construction of the city very well, because kirilov reports to me almost once a day, so when I heard Ivanov's question, I easily replied: "the work of cleaning up the ruins of the city is going smoothly. Residents have returned to their original homes, or live in temporary simple houses, without sleeping on the streets. Half of the factories in the two cities were started. In order to facilitate the travel of the residents, we resumed several bus lines... "After listening to my report, Ivanov laughed at malining and said," Comrade malining, it seems that our general oshanina is really not simple. It's only more than a month, We will keep the two newly liberated cities in good order. " Hearing Ivanov praising me, malining, who had a good relationship with me, naturally agreed with me. The atmosphere in the room was very harmonious. After all the extraneous remarks, Ivanov went back to business. He looked at me and asked seriously, "Comrade oshanina, I want to ask you, can we really only attack the German army from the swamp and lake areas to achieve unexpected results?"“ Yes, comrade deputy chief of general staff. " Seeing Ivanov's serious question to me, I solemnly said: "according to our reconnaissance, the German army deployed only a few troops at some commanding heights at the end of the swamp. As long as we make a surprise attack on them through the swamp area, we can easily break through their defense and quickly retreat to Minsk. "
