Chapter 1583

After rokosovsky finished, I said slowly, "marshal, although it's very risky to land in the enemy's rear, this is the only feasible plan to infiltrate into the enemy's rear. It's a bit risky, but I think it's worth a try. "

Rokosovsky has long been used to my ingenuity, he said faintly: "talk about your plan."

"I hope the air force can provide us with ten transport planes and the same number of gliders. A plane can carry twenty soldiers and their weapons. In this way, we will be able to send a battalion of troops behind the enemy lines. " In order to reassure rokosovsky, I specially stressed: "the transport plane will land in the open space in the middle of the forest, where there is no enemy defense, which is conducive to us to gather the airborne troops and attack the Kaminsky brigade in the shortest time."

After my words, rokosovsky didn't make a statement immediately. Only his heavy breathing voice came out of the receiver. It seemed that he was thinking bitterly whether he could agree with my bold plan.

"Marshal," I saw that rokosovsky was still hesitating and said while the iron was hot, "we have never carried out Airborne Combat in the war with the German army, so the German army will certainly not have any preventive measures, and our probability of success is still very high."

"There's another important question, Rita. I don't know if you've thought about it." After I finished, rokosowski said solemnly, "what if our pilots make a successful landing in a strange area at night? If something goes wrong, we will lose not only one battalion, but also a number of valuable transport aircraft to the air force. "

Regarding rokosovsky's worries, I said confidently: "please rest assured, marshal. I'll send teams through the German garrison overnight to the landing site. When our transport planes arrive tomorrow night, they can light a bonfire on the ground to guide our transport planes

Seeing that I had considered all the issues that should be considered, rokosovsky relaxed: "well, since you think that this is the only way for you to complete your combat mission, it's settled. As for the air force, I'll call immediately. "

I put down the phone, the commander was relieved, and then said to Ralph, "Comrade commander, the marshal has agreed to our landing plan. There are two things we need to do now: first, the 39th division of melchenko's guards will not change its plan to cross the river at night and gather at puwai; Second, general Kuragin sent a small detachment overnight to try to cross the enemy's line of defense and get to the landing site of our army as soon as possible. When the transport plane arrives with our soldiers tomorrow night, they will light a bonfire on the ground to show us where to land

After the two division commanders accepted my orders, he looked at me and asked, "Comrade deputy commander, I don't know which unit you plan to take part in the airborne combat?"

As soon as Ralph finished speaking, Kuragin rushed to say, "my division is on the West Bank of the visva river. I think it's most appropriate to transfer troops from my hands if I take part in airborne operations."

"No, No." Marchenko immediately scrambled for the task with Kuragin, "general Kuragin, your troops have been fighting with the German army for half a month, and the commanders and fighters are very tired. I think it's up to me to draw troops to carry out air landing behind enemy lines. "

I saw that the two men were fighting fiercely. I quickly raised my hand to stop them, and then issued orders: "general Kuragin, if you send your troops to fight, they will have to cross the river from the West Bank of the visva river. It's a waste of time and the road is not safe. Colonel malchenko's troops are stationed near Lublin, not far from the airport, and it is very convenient for the troops to board the plane. I think the troops involved in the parachute should be drawn from the division of Colonel marchenko. "

When marcenzo saw that I had arranged for him to dispatch troops to take part in the airborne operation, he was very happy. He said to me, "Comrade deputy commander, I'll call the battalion commander who took part in the airborne operation and ask him to come here immediately to accept the task."

After marchenko finished the call, he came to show me: "this battalion commander is the most capable of all the battalion commanders. If he is in charge of this task, you will not be disappointed."

Because I don't know malchenko, and I don't know if there is exaggeration in his words, I always keep silent no matter what he says, but occasionally smile politely at him.

After a while, there was a voice calling for a report outside the door. I listen to this voice more familiar, heart said, is there anyone I know here? Just as he was about to wait for the man's voice, Ralph had already called out to the door, "come in!"

As he called, a tall officer in a brand-new uniform strode in. He came to us, raised his hand, saluted and reported to marchenko: "Comrade division commander, commander of the first battalion of the 112 regiment of the guards, major monakov, has come to report. Please give us instructions!" With that, he kept a standing posture in place, chin slightly up.

I couldn't help laughing at the sudden appearance of monakov. As marchenko was about to introduce me, I waved to him, "Comrade Colonel, I know major monakov." With that, I took two steps forward and reached out to monakov. "Major, we meet again."

Monakov heard my voice and a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he soon returned to normal. After raising his hand to salute me, he took my hand and said excitedly, "Hello, comrade general, I didn't expect that we would meet again here." Ralph pointed to me and monakov, and asked unexpectedly, "Comrade deputy commander, do you know major monakov?"“ That's right, "I said with a smile as I shook hands with monakov." major and I met in Kiev, and we came to Lublin on the same plane today. "“ That's a coincidence "Since you know the major, I won't introduce you to each other any more," he said with a smile. Comrade malchenko is right. Major monakov is not only the most capable battalion commander of the 39th division of the guards, but also one of the best in the army. I believe that he will be able to accomplish this glorious and arduous task. "“ Major, come to the table, please Malchenko said politely to his subordinates, "I'll tell you about the combat mission you are going to carry out."
