On returning to the headquarters, the captain of the interior department, who was at the door, respectfully reported to me, "Comrade General, we have sent the major back."
I nodded at him and led bukov into the headquarters. But after entering the door, I found that there was only Lukin here. I couldn't help asking curiously, "Colonel Lukin, where is bonejerin?"
Lu Jin nuzui toward the next door of a closed room, said: "here, change clothes in that room."
I sat down opposite to Lukin and asked, "do you know that bonejerin goes drinking every day?"
Lukin nodded and answered truthfully, "yes, I know about it."
"If you know, why don't you stop him?" After listening to Lu Jin's reply, I couldn't help frowning and continued to ask discontentedly, "a division leader drinks too much in a coffee shop every day, so that the soldiers can see what's right?" When I said this, I was still thinking that there were no bars in this era, and if there were any, Bonnie gerlin would not be in the wine jar every day.
Bukov sat down next to Lukin and said to me with an embarrassed face: "Comrade commander, you don't know something. It's not that we don't want to manage it, but that we can't manage it. You know, he used to be a general after all... "
As for the two people's difficulties, my heart is very clear. It's like Li Yunlong was demoted to battalion commander in "Liangjian", but who dares to call him as battalion commander? When he was commander of the group army, Lukin and bukov were just ordinary soldiers. Even though they are now in the position of Benedictine, they are awed and dare not criticize each other.
However, for the sake of this army and its own future, I still have to say what I should say“ What happened to the general? You know, he is only a major now. You two are both higher than him in military rank and position. Why don't you dare to take care of him? "
Seeing that they were all silent, I continued: "even if he had been a marshal, it was a thing before. Now he is just a subordinate of both of you. It's natural for him to obey your orders. If you can't do that, I'll think about changing people. "
"General o'shanina," just as Lukin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, a voice came from bonejerin: "it's not my fault. It's not my fault I turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw that the door of the room had opened at some unknown time, and Bonnie gerlin was standing by the door.
He went to the empty seat beside me and sat down. He said to me sincerely, "it's all my fault. It's nothing to do with the two teachers and comrades. If you want to blame me, blame me alone."
I stared at the sitting bonejerin, gave a wry smile, and then asked, "tell me, major bonejerin, why do you drink every day?"
Bonejerin turned to look at Lukin and bukov sitting next to him, then said to me with a bitter face, "Comrade oshanina, this is the case. After I took the post of chief of staff, I felt that with my military theory and combat experience, not to mention commanding a division, there was no problem even commanding a group army. However, the contest with the two teachers made me realize that I was behind the times and that my tactics could not keep up with the situation. "
After listening to what he said from the bottom of my heart, I suddenly realized a problem: bagramian respected him more and thought that he was a rare military genius. Maybe it was because the army had just finished the purge, and all the capable commanders had been purged. This was just to choose a higher one among the dwarfs. In fact, he was a middle level.
But in front of him, I can't hurt his face by saying such words. I can only say euphemistically: "major bonejerin, you are a veteran soldier. Before the outbreak of the patriotic war, you fought with different enemies in many areas and won the victory. However, at that time, the tactical level, mobility, weapons and equipment of the enemy and ourselves were basically equal. As long as our commanders and fighters showed bravery and fought and rushed in the battle, we could win. "
At this point, I deliberately pause for a moment to see what bonejerin's reaction is. Seeing that he frowned and nodded slightly in agreement with me, he continued: "the war of defending our country that we are fighting is a modern war. The technical and equipment levels of both sides have been greatly improved. If we continue to use the old tactics, we will certainly suffer losses. Therefore, in modern warfare, whoever has mastered advanced military thinking will have the initiative in modern warfare. "
When I said that, seeing the puzzled look on bonejerin's face, I intentionally asked, "do you know what mistakes you made in these two exercises?"
"I don't know how to use tanks properly." Without waiting for him to speak, I added: "let me give you an example. Apart from the stale and rigid tactical thinking of the commanders and the poor logistical support ability of the troops, the main reason for our defeat in the early stage of the war was the failure of anti tank operations. During the battle, our troops were defeated by German tanks, and then surrounded and annihilated by a large number of German infantry. Therefore, the success or failure of our anti tank operations has become the key to whether our army can block the German attack. "
Seeing that bonejerin's face turned purple after listening to me, I was deeply afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so I slowed down and said, "of course, it's not all your fault. After all, you have been in the isolated prison camp for almost three years, and you don't understand the changes outside. If you have been in the army, you may be able to make immortal contributions. "
"How can we use tank troops in combat?" When he heard this, he finally looked up at me and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Then he asked sincerely, "Comrade General, can you tell me?"
"According to our previous military theory, tanks are at least an auxiliary means to accompany infantry assault, which is obvious in the offensive exercises you command." Seeing that bonejerin had begun to ask me for advice with an open mind, I naturally knew everything I could say: "if tanks are used intensively and on a large scale in the main battle direction, they can easily pierce the enemy's line of defense and open up channels for our successor forces."
After listening to what I said, bonejerin stood up from his seat and said sincerely, "Comrade General, you are right. I have been staying in the prison camp these years, and I have always adhered to my old tactics. If I had not gone through the exercises a few days ago, I would have been asked to command the army again. It is estimated that I would have gone through the same mistakes of 41 years."
Then he turned to Lukin and bukov and raised his hand to salute them. His action startled them, and they quickly raised their hands to their forehead and saluted him. He said humbly, "two comrades, although your time as a soldier is shorter and your qualifications are lower than mine, your command ability is much better than mine. You can rest assured that I will learn from you modestly and strive to improve my command ability. "
When I saw the three shaking hands and making peace, the stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground. After chatting with them for a while, I went back to their dormitory to have a rest.
I stayed in shepetovka for four days, and when I saw that the work of the new editor had entered the normal stage, I was relieved to take the train to Moscow.
When I got to Moscow, I didn't know where to report, so I called Antonov, deputy chief of general staff, in the station master's room. Hearing my voice, he was surprised: "it's you, comrade o'shanina. I was planning to call you later, but you called first. Where are you now? "
"I'm at the railway station." After I finished this sentence, I realized that I had some language problems. I didn't make clear where I was. Every city has a railway station. On the contrary, it's easy to confuse Antonov by saying this, so I quickly added: "I just arrived at the railway station in Moscow not long ago."
"That's great. Just wait at the station and don't leave. I'll send someone to pick you up right away." Antonov then asked, "by the way, how many people did you bring with you?"
"Only one company with the Ministry of interior when I left Moscow last time. I'm in the stationmaster's office right now. "
Twenty minutes later, a major, led by a railway worker, came to the station master's office. After he saw me, he immediately walked two steps in front of me, raised his hand and politely said, "is that general o'shanina?"
"Yes," although I guessed that he must have been sent by Antonov, I specially asked, "Comrade major, are you sent by general Antonov?"
"Yes, he ordered me to meet you. The car is waiting outside, please
The major and I got into the gas car waiting outside the door and asked, "where are we going?"
"Comrade General, according to the order of the deputy chief of staff, I will send you directly to the Kremlin." After answering my question, the major said to the driver, "drive to the Kremlin."
I wanted to have a chat with the major, but seeing that he was sitting in the co pilot's seat, he was always sitting upright without squinting, so I had to give up the idea.
Gascar stopped in the parking lot next to the Church of Saint Vassily. When I got off, I looked at the river and found that the four trucks full of soldiers from the Ministry of interior didn't catch up. So I asked the major curiously, "Comrade major, where are the soldiers from the Ministry of interior?"
The major looked in the direction of the Moscow River and said casually, "they have been sent back to rouyanka. Comrade general, it's getting late. Please give it to me. "
At the entrance of the slope, the major showed his identification to the sentry on duty, then pointed to me and said, "this is general o'shanina. I've been ordered to send him here."
"Comrade major," a second officer on duty asked without expression, "I don't know whose order you are on?"
"General Antonov, deputy chief of general staff." The major replied.
After hearing this, the second lieutenant did not speak. Instead, he went into a wooden guard box and called to check. After about two or three minutes, he came out of the guard box, looked me up and down, reached out to me and said politely, "Comrade General, please show me your identification."
I quickly took out my military card and handed it to him. The second lieutenant took my certificate, looked through it for a while, and then set up the military certificate with the cover facing me. It seemed that he was checking whether I was the same person as the certificate photo. After checking, he gave me his certificate and made a gesture of "please come in, Comrade General."
The major and I came to the entrance of the Kremlin, where the major's papers were not working. He gave me a wry smile and said apologetically, "Comrade General, please wait a moment. I'll call general Antonov in the duty room." After the major left, I walked back and forth at the entrance door to pass the boring waiting time. Just then, I vaguely heard someone saying my order, so I slowed down and listened carefully with my side ears. Only one man whispered, "Hey, are you talking about the general?"“ That's right, "another man replied in the same voice," some time ago, after she was driven out by the Supreme Commander himself, because she couldn't figure it out, she ran to Dashiqiao and tried to drown herself in the river. Fortunately, she was held by the comrades who quietly followed her. Otherwise, we won't see her here today. " When I heard the two people's comments, I wanted to rush over and grab them. I yelled at them, "I didn't want to jump into the river at all. I just want to see what's in the river." As soon as I took two steps in the direction of the sound, I stopped. I thought that these two soldiers were too boring to be interested in gossip. Even if I went up to scold them, I couldn't explain the misunderstanding clearly. I just let it go. After the major finished the call, he came out of the duty room and said politely, "Comrade General, I have spoken with the deputy chief of general staff. He will send someone to pick you up later." With that, he raised his hand to salute me and walked away with great strides. I waited at the door for a while before an officer trotted to the entrance. After he asked me who I was, he took me to the office of the general staff. When I walked into vasilevsky's office, I found that in addition to vasilevsky and Antonov, there was another deputy chief of general staff Ivanov who had been suppressed. After I raised my hand to salute the three of them, I faced vasilevsky and asked, "marshal, I have been ordered to come. Do you have any instructions?"
