Chapter 1535

My mind was blank. I didn't hear what belia said. Until he hung up, I stood in a daze holding the phone.

"Hello, comrade o'shanina, what are you thinking?" I was awakened by lunev's cry. I looked at him and asked, "Comrade lunev, do you call me?"

"Yes, I am calling you." Lunev woke me up and quickly added: "what should we do next? It seems to me that Comrade belia said that he would first report the matter to the Supreme Commander himself, and then tell us the decision to deal with it. Let's go back to uman and wait for the news

"Yes, general oshanina." As soon as lunev's words were finished, brakov added: "we have reached our destination here. Now we'd better go back to uman. The environment there is better than here."

To tell you the truth, as soon as I entered the "wuman pit", I smelled a disgusting smell, which was a kind of stench mixed with the stench of corpses, excrement and urine, and the sour smell scattered by the ragged uniforms of the soldiers. I didn't feel how fresh the air was until I got back to the ground. Now that brakov, the commander of the garrison, offered to return to the city on his own initiative, I accepted his request.

Back at the garrison headquarters, however, he wrote in a stern tone: "but we can't cover up the fact that there have been several shameful incidents of surrendering to the enemy recently. The bad performance of individual generals has tarnished the honor of our troops. "

First of all, I was named here. When I saw it, I suddenly remembered a list of senior Soviet commanders who died in the patriotic war. There was the name of lieutenant general kacharov in it. I turned my eyes away from the document in front of me, looked at lunev, who was still smoking, and tentatively asked, "Comrade lunev, I want to ask something."

When lunev heard me asking him, he quickly put out half of the cigarettes left in his hand in the ashtray, raised his hand and looked at me, and said, "Comrade oshanina, I don't know why you want to. As long as I know, I will answer truthfully."

"In this document," do you know his whereabouts? "

When lunev heard my question, he shook his head and said, "no, we learned from the officers and men who broke out of the encirclement that he had surrendered to the enemy, and then there was no more whereabouts of him."

"Comrade lunev, I once heard a subordinate say that he saw with his own eyes that general kacharov's temporary headquarters was hit by German shells, and all the people inside were killed."

"What, kacharov's headquarters was hit by enemy fire, and all of them died?" Lunev looked at me with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "who said that and where is he now?"

"It was a new addition soldier who told me personally. I can't remember his specific name." Naturally, I can't tell lunev that I read these contents from the history books of later generations. I can only say vaguely: "it's a pity that this soldier is making up for the army. 2. All units and units trapped in the enemy's encirclement should fight to the end without hesitation, protect his equipment with his life, strike the enemy from the rear of the enemy and eliminate the running dogs. If one's troops are surrounded by the enemy, every soldier, no matter how big his position is, has the responsibility to follow the command of his superiors, fight to the end and break through the blockade. If officers or soldiers do not organize active resistance and fight back against the enemy, but choose to surrender, they can be eliminated by any means from the air or on the ground. Families of members of the Red Army who surrender to the enemy will be deprived of their national rights and assistance.

3. All division commanders and political commissars have the right to remove immediately those battalion and regiment commanders who try to protect themselves in battle and are afraid of exercising command on the battlefield. They can be regarded as swindlers and demoted to soldiers. If necessary, they can be executed on the spot and replaced by brave and strong officers at lower levels or Red Army soldiers. "

At the end of the document is the signature of all the members of the base camp, including Stalin, Zhukov, Molotov and timoshinger.

Seeing that I put the document on the table, lunev came over and asked with no expression: "Comrade oshanina, I believe that you have read the" Order No. 270 "signed by Comrade Stalin himself. You have also seen the comments on bonejerin and others. Now I don't know what you are going to do with bonejerin? "

I sat at the table, fingers tapping gently, frowning, trying to think. I once heard bagramijan mention bonejerin. He said that bonejerin was the most educated group commander of the southwest front army. He commanded the infantry division, served as the chief of staff of the Leningrad Military Region, and led the Tactical Teaching and research section of the volongzhi military academy. He is well versed in senior Corps tactics and military academic issues, and has high prestige in the Kiev special military region.

It is precisely because of bagramijan's words that I realize that if I want to make further progress in the future, I must have the cooperation of a commander who has both theoretical level and rich combat experience.

Having made up my mind, I stood up and said to brakov, who was circling around the room, "Comrade General, can you speak to Moscow here?"

"General oshanina, the high frequency telephone in front of you can talk to Moscow." After that, brakov came up to me, picked up the phone, looked at me and asked politely, "can I connect you to Moscow?"“ Yes, comrade general, I want to call Moscow. " Considering that Zhukov is a little unpopular with Stalin because of his poor performance on the Ukrainian battlefield recently, it may be counterproductive to ask him to come forward, so I can only consider using circuitous tactics to persuade Stalin, so I ordered brakov: "get me the office of Comrade belia, the interior people's Commissar." Both brakov and lunev were shocked to hear that I was going to call belia, because they both knew that I was calling in order to keep the man bonejerin. Seeing that brakov was ready to dial, lunev quickly put out his hand to stop him, frowned and asked me, "Comrade oshanina, you should consider this matter carefully! Is it worth it to accompany your own future for the sake of an unrelated person? "“ worth! Comrade lunev. " Without hesitation, I replied: "as far as I know, general bonejerin is a great military talent. If he can return to his command post, he can make our army's combat effectiveness to a higher level. As long as we can defeat the Communist aggressors, what is my personal honor or disgrace? " With these righteous words, I said to brakov, "Comrade General, what are you still doing? Dial quickly?"
