On the way to my residence, I met a huge patrol. There were about 40 people walking in front of me. I stopped and stood by the side of the road, looking at the approaching patrol. I had a fierce ideological struggle in my heart: Although bunyachenko and I used to fight side by side against the Communist aggressors, he is now the commander of the "Russian Liberation Army", our enemy and the running dog of the German. Do I need to take people to arrest him immediately?
"Hello, who's there?" Before I make the final decision, someone in the opposite Patrol has yelled: "stay where you are
A few people came out of the line. The officer at the front of the line also flashed a flashlight at me. When I saw my badge clearly, the flashlight went out. Then I heard the sound of heel collision. The man who just spoke said in a panic: "Hello, comrade deputy commander of the front army, I didn't know it was you. I'm captain of the patrol, Lieutenant danik. I'm following your instructions! "
"Comrade lieutenant, I'm just passing by. I have nothing to tell you." I waved to lieutenant danik with a smile and said casually, "go on patrol!"
"Comrade deputy commander," dannick asked me respectfully, "for your safety, I'd better send two soldiers to escort you back."
"No, I'll go a little further and get there." I politely refused danik's kindness: "Lieutenant, you'd better take the soldiers to continue to patrol."
Seeing that I refused his kindness, danique didn't ask. After raising his hand to salute, he turned to the patrol standing on one side and yelled in a long tone: "all listen to my command, stand at attention ~ ~! Let's go
Watching the patrol go away, I stood in the same place for a while, and finally decided not to move buniachenko for the time being. But this matter is very important. I have to discuss with rokosovsky to see how he is going to deal with it.
When I got back to my residence, I saw the two soldiers standing guard at the door. I went to the soldier on the right, stopped and asked him, "Comrade soldier, after I left, did anyone look for me?"
"No, comrade deputy commander," the soldier replied positively, shaking his head, "no one is looking for you!"
I nodded and then asked, "do you know where I can make a phone call?"
"There's a phone in the duty room in the building." After the soldier said that, he may feel that he did not speak in detail enough, and hastily added: "you can talk to the headquarters of the group army."
I entered the building, went into the duty room near the door, nodded to the officer on duty, then grabbed the phone on the desk and dialed a number. After hearing the voice of the operator, I gave a direct command: "I'm general oshanina, connect me with the headquarters of the group army, find trikov!"
After a while, trakov's voice came out of the receiver. He asked curiously, "Rita, are you calling me at this time? Is there anything important?"
"Yes, general trakov." I said briefly, "I have something urgent to go back to the headquarters of the front army. Please arrange a car for me immediately."
"Now back to Lublin, is there something important?" Trekov asked in some surprise.
"Yes, something happened, so I need to get back to headquarters immediately." Because this matter is very important, so I didn't tell him the truth, just urged him: "please send me a car as soon as possible!"
"I see." After hearing that I didn't explain to him what it was, he just urged him to send a car and immediately replied, "the car will arrive at your residence in five minutes!"
Trekov sent two jeeps and five guards to escort me back to Lublin.
Although it was late at night, when I arrived at the headquarters of the front army, I found that rokosovsky and malining were still in the headquarters, and there were several signalmen and staff officers on duty in the corner. To see me suddenly appear in the headquarters, rokosovsky's face showed a surprised expression: "Rita, how did you come back?"
I didn't care to greet him, so I said in a hurry, "marshal, I'm in a hurry to come back to see you because something urgent happened."
"Something urgent?" When rokosovsky heard me say this, his eyebrows immediately turned into a knot in one's heart, and he asked seriously, "what's the matter, Rita? Is it true that the German army has attacked trakov's residence
It was said that the camp was not attacked by the German army. The expression on rokosovsky's face suddenly became relaxed. He leaned back and asked with a smile, "Rita, since it was not the camp of trakov that was attacked, what else should you be so alarmed?"
"Although the enemy bombed the floating bridge on the visva River in the daytime, it was normal. The Germans would not be reconciled to their defeat and would try every means to prevent our army from advancing to their defense. You don't have to worry too much, "malining said with a smile." besides, it's not without good news. The troops behind the enemy have successfully killed Kaminsky and completed the task we told them. "
"Marshal, chief of staff, what I want to say has nothing to do with general trakov." I told them what I had seen with buniachenko today, and finally asked, "what do you say I should do?"
After my words, their smiles froze on their faces, and the whole room fell into silence. Rokosovsky stood up abruptly. Because he got up too hard, he knocked down all the chairs he was sitting on. Malining, who was next to him, bent over to help him.
Rokosovsky pointed at me, a look of hate iron not steel, angrily said: "Rita, what do you want me to say about you? Don't forget your present identity. You are the deputy commander of the front army, not the former commander of the guard division. Who gave you the right to go to see people of unknown origin without even a guard in the middle of the night? Do you know what a great loss it would be to our army if there were any good or bad? "
Although rokosovsky was furious with me, I didn't hear him express any personal views on whether he should accept buniachenko anyway from his words. From the perspective of caring for my personal safety, I criticized that I shouldn't not even say hello and secretly meet a person of unknown origin.
After roaring for a long time, rokosovsky finally calmed down. Just when I wanted to explain something to him, Bulganin came in from the outside. He took off his military cap, hung it on the coat rack, looked at us and asked curiously, "I was just outside. It seems that I heard the marshal lose his temper. What's the matter?"
"Comrade Bulganin, it's very nice of you to come here. Here's the thing..." rokosovsky repeated what I said to bulginin. Finally, he said angrily, "I was just criticizing her for not daring to take risks!"
When rokosovsky told Bulganin the whole story, I was ready to accept criticism. Who knows, the expression on Bulganin's face immediately changed after hearing this. He turned his head to look at the staff officers and signalmen who were secretly looking at us, and said, "you should avoid first."
When there were only four of us left in the room, Bulganin slapped the table, pointed at me like rokosovsky, and said sadly, "Rita, you are so confused! Do you know that you are cooperating with the enemy? If someone pokes this up, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
These words of Bulganin startled me. The charge of complicity is too big for me to bear. So as soon as he finished speaking, I immediately argued: "Comrade military commissar, I also want to carry out counter insurgency, which can effectively weaken the enemy's strength."
"Rita, I know that during the war of Stalingrad's defense, you successfully rebelled against several German" Eastern battalions. ". Under the circumstances at that time, your practice was undoubtedly correct, weakening the enemy and strengthening the strength of our army. However, "when I heard Bulganin agree with my previous practice, I was still a little complacent. But when I heard him say" but ", I felt that things were not good. I just heard him continue to say:" at present, our army is winning day by day, and * * Germany has reached a precarious situation, even if they have organized a "Russian Liberation Army" now, It can't save them from failure. I don't think it's meaningful to instigate such a puppet army at such a time. We only need to send out two divisions to bring them down. "
I agree with Bulganin's statement that 50000 people will be defeated by two divisions. Although there are a large number of prisoners of war in the "Russian Liberation Army", they still need a long period of running in to form effective combat effectiveness because they come from different prison camps. They are certainly not the opponents of our experienced commanders and fighters. But I can't agree with the saying that they have no value for treason.
Therefore, after pausing for a moment, I once again expounded my point of view: "Comrade military commissar, I think it is very necessary to instigate a rebellion against such forces. Although Germany has only set up an army of 50000 people, maybe in the future they will send people from various prison camps to set up an army of 100000, 200000 or even more than 500000 people to fight against us. We will at least use one front army to pay them. In this way, the Germans succeeded in achieving the goal of delaying and consuming our army and winning them breathing space. "
After my words, no matter rokosovsky or malining, they did not express their own opinions. Instead, they turned their eyes to Bulganin and wanted to hear what he said.
"An army of half a million?" After repeating the figure, Bulganin said with a sneer, "Rita, you really look down on the Germans. Do you think they can organize an army of more than 500000 prisoners of war?"
Instead of arguing with Bulganin on the specific number of puppet troops, I took out the list of officers given by buniachenko, put it on the table and pushed it over to him: "Comrade military commissar, this is the officer's order given by buniachenko to me. You may as well see how many prisoners of war will be lured into their ranks if these people take office."
Bulganin picked up the list suspiciously and looked at it carefully, while rokosovsky and malining also came to look at it. Malining also read softly: "the Deputy commander-in-chief is major general truchin, former director of operations of the Baltic coastal military region. The war minister was former Soviet Colonel nerianin Also serving as Vlasov's assistant are major general manashkin, former chief of staff of the 19th group army of the Soviet army, former senior official of Moscow district, member of the Military Commission and brigade political commissar of the 32nd group army, former major general zagutna, former commander of the 21th infantry army, and former brigadier general blagovitzinski of the Soviet army. "
After reading this list of officers, the three looked at each other, and their faces were very serious. Finally, marinin took the lead in saying, "comrades commander, I think this matter has gone beyond our scope of authority. How to reply to Colonel buniachenko who is ready to surrender to us? I think we should ask the supreme command for instructions."“ What can I ask for instruction? " Bulganin said impatiently: "I think the Supreme Commander himself means to strike these traitors of the motherland mercilessly and wipe them out mentally and physically." Rokosovsky thought about it for a while, and then expressed his opinion: "I think it's better to report it to the supreme command. They have special access to information. Even if we don't report it, they will know sooner or later, and then we will be passive."“ "Well," Bulganin echoed when he heard what rokosovsky said, "we'll call Comrade Stalin and report this to him."“ "No, no," heard Bulganin say, malining quickly put forward his own objection: "I think it's more appropriate to report to Comrade belia first and let him convey it to the Supreme Commander himself." When we reached an agreement to report the matter to belia, a new question came up. Who is better to report? I wanted to volunteer, but considering that I was the client, I closed my mouth and looked at the three people in front of me to see who was the best candidate. Finally, rokosovsky sighed, stood up and said, "I am the top commander of the front army. I think it is most appropriate for me to report this matter to the higher authorities." After that, he went to the high-frequency phone, picked up the headset and stuck it to his ear. After dialing the number, he said calmly, "I'm rokosovsky. Please connect me with the Kremlin and find Comrade Beria!"
