Chapter 1630

It wasn't long before rokosovsky knew that the traffic between us and the other side was interrupted. He also called to ask, "Rita, I heard that your river crossing equipment was destroyed by German artillery fire. Is that true?"

"Yes, marshal," I didn't hide the real situation from rokosovsky, because even if I didn't report it, he also had special intelligence channels to understand what happened on the battlefield, so I honestly replied, "our existing river crossing equipment has been lost, resulting in the temporary interruption of our traffic with the West Bank troops. Only when the new crossing equipment arrives can we try to land on the other side again. "

"How do you arrange the two troops left in the West Bank?" Rokosovsky did not express any views, but continued to ask.

"I told them to stop attacking and consolidate their positions." After I said this, I was deeply afraid that rokosovsky would urge them to launch an attack. I quickly explained, "because our troops are not familiar with the terrain and can not get the support of the rebel army, it is very unwise to continue the deep attack on Warsaw. So I ordered them to stop the attack temporarily until the follow-up troops and equipment arrive, Attack the enemy again. "

"I think it's right to stop the attack on Warsaw before finding out the terrain." Rokosovsky said slowly, "you want them to send people all night to scout the terrain, so as to reorganize a new attack and help the Warsaw rebels who have been in a bitter battle. According to reliable information, the leader of the rebel army, the head of the krayov army, is already in contact with the Germans about surrender. "

"What, the chief of the krayov army is ready to surrender?" The news of rokosovsky startled me. If the rebels really surrender, then the Germans can concentrate their forces to launch a general attack on the forces of askarepov and Galitsky. Let alone our army has only a few thousand people in the West Bank, even tens of thousands of people, who can not support for a few days without heavy weapons and replenishment.

I took two deep breaths, trying to digest the bad news that rokosovsky told me. When I calmed down a little, I asked, "what should we do to get the troops back?"

"Withdraw, how to withdraw?" Rokosovsky said angrily, "Rita, don't forget that all our river crossing equipment was destroyed by German artillery fire. Hundreds of meters wide visva River, you can't let thousands of soldiers throw away their weapons and swim back, besides, there are so many wounded

Rokosovsky's words made me realize the seriousness of the problem. If our troops in the West Bank were betrayed by the krayov army, we would wait for their fate, either to be killed or to be captured by the German army. Either way, it's something I don't want to see. Thinking of this, I tentatively asked: "marshal, do you think you can order the eighth group army of the guards at the landing site of magnusev to tentatively launch an attack from the south of Warsaw to attract the attention of the German army?"

"It's no use, Rita." Rokosovsky said to me with a wry smile: "the German may have used an armored division and an infantry division to launch a fierce attack on the defense area of the eighth group army of the close guard day and night for fear that our army would invest more troops in the landing field of magnusev."

Without any crossing equipment, the troops in Warsaw were restrained by the German forces, and the two troops trapped in wazinki palace and Madame Curie's former residence were in an embarrassing situation. Their strength was not enough to break through the German lines; Retreat, the broad river blocked their retreat. In order to survive, they had to fight back.

I put down the phone and thought about it for a long time. I feel that I still need to personally teach askarepov some experience in guerrilla warfare and street warfare, so that they can support for a longer time in the West Bank.

When I heard askarebov's voice, I immediately couldn't wait to ask, "what's the situation there, sir?"

"Not so good, comrade deputy commander." Askarepov complained to me: "the German infantry, under the cover of tanks, launched an attack on the landing site established by our army. Although our officers and men fought back the enemy's attack tenaciously, they also paid a great price. "

"Comrade division, I have thought about it carefully. In order to better stick to the landing field you have established, it is necessary to adjust the existing tactics."

"Adjust tactics?" Askarepov asked in a puzzled way, "how can I adjust it?"

"Listen to me," I taught him the tactics that I had already made a draft of. "You immediately select the soldiers with good shooting skills from the troops and form a sniper team. Let them take two as a group and four as a team to carry out cold sniping in turn. At the same time, the battalions actively launched small-scale and high-intensity harassment wars, such as sneak attacks and sentry raids. In a word, we should use all the methods we can think of and use to harass, exhaust and attack the enemy's effective forces so that they can't attack you as planned and achieve the goal of turning small victories into big victories. "

After listening to my deployment, askarepov was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I understand, deputy commander, I will implement active defense according to your deployment, and I will never let the Germans drive us into the visva river."

Of the two troops in the West Bank, Galitsky has more troops than askarepov, but it is he who worries me the most. When I called him, I was like a primary school teacher telling the students: "Comrade Colonel, in order to ensure that your landing site will not be occupied by the Germans, I suggest you pay more attention to some details, such as the construction of the blast hole, the concealment and camouflage of the temporary ammunition storage point in the front position... In the face of the enemy who may attack at any time, You should make more preparations, think more carefully, and be more flexible in the use of tactics... When you issue combat orders, you must be careful, because every order you issue involves hundreds of lives. Every order you give will be the key to whether you can hold the landing site or not... "I said a lot, and I don't know if Galitsky heard it. In order to arouse his high vigilance, I also mentioned what rokosovsky said: "Comrade Colonel, I also want to tell you a bad news. The leaders of the krayov army are now in contact with the Germans. They may surrender to the Germans in the near future. You should take contingency measures."“ Contingency measures, what contingency measures? " Galitsky asked me nervously, "Comrade deputy commander, what shall we do next?"“ Hold fast to the landing site of wajinji palace and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. " After giving him a decisive order, I went on to say, "Comrade Colonel, even if the leader of the krayov army is ready to surrender to the Germans, not all the rebels are willing to lay down their arms in front of the Communist aggressors. So recently you have to send people to quietly cross the German line of defense, go to Warsaw city to find the rebels who are still fighting, and take them to your positions, so as to strengthen your strength. You can add these rebel fighters to the damaged main force, so that they can integrate with each other as soon as possible in a new way, so that the troops can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. "..." After I had taught askarebov and Galitsky the experience of combat, it began to show effect the next day. In the daytime, as long as the opposite German dares to show his head from the fortification, he will be in danger of being hit by several bullets at any time. If it was just a cold shot, askarebov ordered mortars to aim at the German assembly area from time to time, which would blow up the crowded Germans and cause heavy losses. After getting through the day, the German soldiers prepared to sneak attack on our defensive positions in the dark. As a result, as soon as the team was assembled, the small detachment of our army came over and used machine guns and submachine guns to point at the dense position of the enemy, shot a shuttle, swept down a piece, and immediately disappeared without a trace. Our army's incessant harassment of the Germans made them exhausted. The yawning German soldiers, when charging against our troops, were much more slow than usual. After being intercepted by our army's firepower, they suddenly scattered and fled to the back. What the Germans never dreamed of was that their experience on the first day was relatively good compared with the days after that. At best, our army officers and men made sneak attacks and fired cold shots at them. But from the next day on, ascalepov, who had tasted the sweetness, let the commanders and fighters pool their wisdom and bring forth new ideas in various means of dealing with the enemy. Especially in the night, sneak attacks and sentry are common. Askarebov even ordered the soldiers to change into German uniforms and sneak into the camp to kill people and set fire everywhere, causing chaos. He even poisoned the enemy's drinking water and food, resulting in poisoning of the whole class and platoon of German troops. Compared with the situation in which askarepov's side made the Germans miserable, Galitsky was a little too conventional. He made no achievements except that he sent people to quietly cross the German defense line and found dozens of liudorf soldiers who were still fighting with the Germans near Warsaw Institute of technology. Basically, it belongs to the German attack, so he defends; If the German didn't attack, he would hide in the trenches and secretly congratulate himself. I didn't know how to carry out active defense at all, and missed many good opportunities in vain.
