Chapter 1603

My guess is correct. This unit disguised as a German breakout was indeed under the command of major monakov. However, there were 400 people at the time of departure, and now there are less than 100 people left. Even monakov himself was injured.

When monakov appeared in the headquarters, I was shocked by his image. He was wrapped with thick gauze on his head, shoulders and abdomen. He didn't wear a military cap, only wore a soldier's uniform. After I asked him to sit down, I was surprised and asked, "major, how is your injury?"

"Don't worry, Comrade General." Monakov, who was sitting on the stool, looked up at me and said with a strong smile, "it's just some skin injuries, not bones. It'll be all right in two weeks at most."

I remember that when I left trakov headquarters, monakov was still doing well behind the enemy. How could they have been in such a bad situation in just a few days? They even had to break through to get out of their predicament: "major, what's the matter with you? Why are you in such a mess?"

Hearing me asking about monakov, askarepov and his chief of staff gathered around and sat quietly waiting for monakov to tell his story.

Monakov may have been used to such scenes. Although surrounded by two unfamiliar commanders, he still calmly told me what happened: "Comrade deputy commander, after we killed Kaminsky and some of his followers, we pretended to be them and acted in the enemy's rear. At the beginning, everything went well, but I don't know when the German army would shoot as soon as they heard that it was a "Kaminsky brigade"

After a certain amount of casualties, I reported the situation to commander trakov and asked him for the next action. The commander instructed us to withdraw our defense line as soon as possible since we could not hold on behind the enemy lines

In the process of transfer, we encountered the German army many times. Although we adopted the tactic of "one touch and one go", the troops still suffered a great loss. Today, in the process of sending news to the higher authorities, we were suddenly attacked by the German army, and the radio station was destroyed by the German artillery fire. We can only take the way of fighting and walking, and retreat towards the scheduled breakthrough... "

Although we all saw the breakout process through the telescope, monakov took the trouble to tell us about it. After he finished his adventures in the enemy's rear, I comforted him and asked askarepov to find someone to take him to rest.

When monakov left, askarepov asked me, "Comrade deputy commander, how can we arrange for them? I think a lot of soldiers have been injured. Do you want to stay here for treatment or send them back to the east bank? "

I pondered it for a while, and then said to askarepov, "Comrade division commander, you should first arrange the health personnel to check these soldiers. Those who are not injured or slightly injured will stay here; And the seriously wounded will be sent back to the other side. "

No sooner had I finished than the telephone rang in the room. After receiving the call, the chief of staff of the division came over and reported to me, "Comrade deputy commander, it's from the headquarters of the group army that something urgent has happened. Please return to the east bank immediately."

When I heard that Gusev urged me to return to the headquarters of the group army, I knew in my heart that something must have happened. I immediately told askarebov, "Comrade division commander, please prepare a boat for me immediately. I want to go back to Dong'an immediately."

Askarepov looked at the sky through the lookout, and then said cautiously, "Comrade deputy commander, you'd better wait until dark. If you cross the river in broad daylight, you may be intercepted by German artillery."

I waved my hand to him and said, "don't worry, sir. Even if the German army finds us crossing the river, they will never fire for a small boat."

With the help of askarepov, I crossed the visva River, got on the jeep at the ferry, and hurried to the headquarters of Gusev.

When I went into the room, I saw Gusev, chief of staff, military commissar and more than a dozen school level officers studying maps around the table in the middle of the room. As I walked quickly towards Gusev, I said in a loud voice, "Hello, comrades commander, what are you discussing?"

As soon as my voice fell, the commanders who were talking about it immediately quieted down, and everyone turned to face me, maintaining a standing posture. After shaking hands with me, Gusev said in a low voice, "deputy commander, marshal, I'm calling to let you arrive at his headquarters before dark, saying that there's something important to tell you."

"Do you know anything?" I asked, looking at Gusev.

"I don't know." Gushev replied blankly: "Marshal only said that there were important things, but he didn't say what it was."

I heard Gusev's answer and I wanted to kick him immediately. If I was at the landing site of pwawi, he would directly say that it was rokosovsky who wanted to see me. When I got back to the east bank, I would drive directly to Lublin and come here for a special round. However, in front of a group of subordinates, I couldn't get angry with Gusev. I only nodded. Then I left the headquarters angrily and went outside to look for my jeep.

On the way to Lublin, although the driver drove fast, I still felt too slow and kept urging him: "hurry up, drive faster."“ Comrade deputy commander, "the driver replied with a sad face," I've reached the fastest speed. " Listen to the driver say so, I had to shut up, one or two hundred kilometers distance, even if the driver drive fast, also need two or three hours, is my heart too anxious. I closed my mouth and looked out of the window. I was angry with rokosovsky and Gusev. If gushev directly told me that rokosovsky wanted to find me when he called the 77th division of the guards, I would have done less wrong; As for rokosovsky, if he can tell Gusev what it is on the phone, I can know in advance. After several hours of turbulence, we finally arrived at the gate of the headquarters of the front army. I pushed the door open, jumped out of the car and trotted all the way to the building. The sentry standing at the door wanted to stop me, but when he saw that it was me, he immediately let me aside and raised his hand to salute me. When I went to rokosovsky's headquarters breathlessly, I unexpectedly found Zhukov was also here. When I saw Zhukov, I couldn't help but be stunned. My heart said that rokosovsky was in such a hurry to call me back because he wanted to transfer the position of commander of the front army to Zhukov, right? But in my memory, Zhukov served as the commander of the front army in November, and now it is still August. History will not have an unexpected deviation again because of my existence, will it“ Here comes Rita The sound of my footsteps still startled rokosovsky and Zhukov. They turned to look at me and saw me standing at the door. First of all, rokosovsky stood up and said to me with a smile, "don't stand at the door in a daze, come in quickly!" I hesitated and walked into the headquarters. Looking at Zhukov, I said in confusion: "Hello, marshal, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here to guide the work of our front army? " After looking at each other, Zhukov and rokosovsky turned to look at me with a smile and said, "Rita, I'm here for you today."“ For me? " Zhukov's words confused me. I looked at him blankly, waiting for him to continue to say the following“ Rita, "Zhukov said to me straightforwardly without any nonsense," well, comrade Stalin called me today and said that he wanted me to carry out a special task of the National Defense Commission and let me go back to Moscow immediately. I asked Stalin at that time if he could provide me with a deputy. He replied, "the choice is in my hands. I am free to choose anyone to be my deputy."“ So you think of me. " Before Zhukov finished, I guessed the following. But at the moment, I really don't want to accompany him to carry out the tasks of the National Defense Commission. If I leave rashly at such a time, I may lose my post as deputy commander of the first front army of Belarus. I can only say politely, "however, marshal, I can only say sorry to you. At present, I still have a lot of work to do here, And did the Supreme Commander himself account for it? "“ The task personally assigned by the Supreme Commander? " Zhukov repeated my words, turned to look at rokosovsky and asked in surprise, "Comrade rokosovsky, what's the matter?"“ It's no big deal, "rokosovsky replied with a shrug." Comrade Stalin, Jean Rita, is responsible for the coordinated operations between the 47th and 70th army. Even if he leaves temporarily, it's no problem. "“ You heard that, Rita Zhukov looked back at me and said, "rokosovsky said it's OK. You'd better go with me."... "“ Yes, Rita Rokosovsky saw that I kept silent and said with agreement: "since Marshal Zhukov has spoken, you can go with him. We have just received an order from the superior that the troops should be temporarily transferred to defense, so even if you put down your work, it doesn't matter. " Seeing that rokosovsky also advocated that I accompany Zhukov to perform special tasks, I thought that Zhukov would be the commander of the front army in a few months. If I refuted his face on this matter, it might cause his jealousy when I partner with him again in the future, so I nodded decisively and said, "well, two marshals, since your opinions have been unified, Then I'll accompany Marshal Zhukov back to Moscow. " Zhukov raised his hand and looked at his watch. Then he stood up and said to me, "Rita, since you have agreed, let's go. The plane is waiting at the airport outside the city, and we both rush to Moscow overnight. " Rokosovsky came up to me, reached out to me and said sincerely, "Rita, I wish you a safe journey!"
