The moment I met rokosovsky, I realized that he knew about my plane crash. After he saw me enter the headquarters, I shook hands with the military commissar jerekin, the artillery commander kazakov, the tank commander Orel and the engineer director pushliakov one by one, and accepted their congratulations.
After completing the meeting procedure, I followed rokosovsky to the map on the wall and asked curiously, "marshal, as far as I know, our army has deployed six divisions in the landing site of sirotsk, all of which are all close guard divisions. How can we be driven to the narev River by the German army in such a short time?"
"It's all my fault," I suddenly heard Batov's voice and turned to see that he was rushing in from the outside“ It's because I despise the enemy too much. Seeing that the Germans have been standing still near the landing site we set up, I'm a little careless. Two days ago, I dispatched three divisions to the rear for attack drills. Maybe the Germans took control of our actions. As soon as the troops on the landing site became empty, the enemy launched an attack. "
"What's the situation now?" Asked rokosovsky.
"As the newly reinforced tank brigade crossed the narev River, the attack of the bandits was completely contained." Looking at rokosovsky, Batov replied: "at present, our troops have recaptured the town of cerotsk, and the rest of the lost positions are being gradually restored. It is estimated that all the enemies who rush into the landing site will be driven out before dawn tomorrow."
Looking at Batov's epaulets, I found that he had been promoted to general at some time. When I think of general Popov, whom I met not long ago, I seem to understand the reason why I was suddenly promoted. Several commanders of the group army are now generals. It is obviously inappropriate for me, as deputy commander of the front army, to have the same rank as them. Maybe it is for this reason that Stalin decided to promote me temporarily.
"It's a pity that the weather is bad," said general o'lear, director of the tank corps. "Otherwise, with the support of the air force, we can achieve greater results."
"Fort modlin has always been a great trouble to us." Batov frowned and said: "as long as we find that our army uses armored forces on a large scale, they will use fortress guns to bombard and cause huge casualties to our army."
"When the weather gets better, we can send out bombers to bomb Fort modlin and reduce the pressure of our shock troops by suppressing the artillery fire of the other side's fortress," he continued. As long as the German offensive forces lose artillery support from the fort, they will soon be defeated by us. "
"Comrade General, you are too optimistic." Batov and other Oriole immediately retorted: "as long as the weather allows us to send air force, German aircraft will also appear on the battlefield and intercept our bombers near the fortress. In addition, there is a perfect air defense system in the fortress, and our bomber formation is bound to cause huge losses in this case. "
Rokosovsky did not speak, but listened with interest to the debate between the two men. When he found that I had not spoken, he turned to look at me and asked, "Rita, when you came from Moscow, did Zhukov and vasilevsky give you any instructions to resolve the current crisis?"
I nodded, solemnly said: "Marshal comrade, you guessed very well. Before I came here, marshals Zhukov and vasilevsky did formulate a set of combat plan, but whether it is effective still needs to be tested on the battlefield."
"I believe the way they can come up with must be very effective." Rokosovsky heard me say so, immediately beamed with joy, hastened me: "quickly tell me."
"We received a batch of radio equipment from the United States today," I saw that everyone was focusing on me, so I slowed down the speaking speed, so that everyone could hear and understand what I said: "this is a very sophisticated electronic jammer that can be installed on a bomber. Before our army launches an attack on the enemy, we can let bombers carrying electronic jammers fly over the enemy's defense area, interfere with their radio communication, interrupt their communication with each other, and make the enemy commander unable to understand the situation on the battlefield in time and issue effective instructions in time. "
After I finished, I found that the expression on everyone's face was very flat, and no one seemed to be interested in what I said. After a long time, jerekin asked: "Comrade oshanina, I think even if the German radio communication is interfered, the German commander can contact the troops in front in time through the cable phone. Let me tell you something, I don't think the so-called electronic jammer provided by the Americans is of any use. "
Seeing that you are not interested in the electronic jammer, I am deeply afraid that this kind of treasure will be put on the shelf. I hastily added: "as early as October 1943, the British used one of the functions of this electronic jammer to directly cut into the communication frequency of the German air force, send opposite instructions and provide false information to the enemy's aircraft."
So far, what I said has finally attracted rokosovsky's great attention. He looked at me and asked, "Rita, if I don't understand correctly, after we cut into the German communication channel, we can let people who understand German imitate the German ground control station personnel, so as to deceive the German pilots who don't know the truth. Is that right? "
"Yes, comrade marshal." Seeing that someone finally understood my intention, my mood suddenly improved a lot: "for example, we can cut into the communication channel of the German bomber formation, indicate the wrong target for them, and let them drop all the bombs on their own people."“ It sounds like it's pretty good. " After listening to me, kazakov said thoughtfully, "but in actual combat, is it really effective? For example, after the German bomber pilots received the new orders, they would not immediately check with the airport? After all, the communication between their aircraft and the ground console is very convenient. "“ General kazakov, as I've just said, electronic jammers can interfere with German radio communications. Even if the German pilot asked, he could not get in touch with the real ground console. " I said to him with a smile, "as for the effect, as long as you have passed the test of the battlefield, you will understand it all." For all I said, rokosovsky did not immediately express his position. Instead, he directly called back to the headquarters of the front army and found general maximenko, director of the communication force: "general, do you think we can do this by cutting into the German communication channel through the electronic jammer and giving them the wrong instructions?" After listening to rokosovsky's question, maximenko was silent for a long time before he said, "as far as I know, marshal, it is absolutely possible to do so. You know, the British did this as early as 1943, and the electronic jammers provided to us by the Americans are all the latest products. I believe that in the process of use, the effect will exceed our imagination. " After obtaining the approval of maximenko, a professional, rokosovsky immediately had confidence. He immediately told the following staff: "call lieutenant general boleynin, and order him to immediately arrange the manpower to install the new electronic equipment on the bomber." Rokosovsky then asked proshlyakov, the engineer's director, "Comrade General, according to the weather forecast, the continuous rainstorm will stop tomorrow. Can you build more pontoons on the narev river so that more tank brigades can cross the river and enter the sirotsk landing site?" Hearing this question from rokosovsky, proshlyakov showed a smile on his face: "don't worry, marshal, the narev river is not better than the visva river. The narrow area of the river here is only 400 meters. Our engineers can easily set up a floating bridge on the river." Batov's face lightened when he heard that he could be strengthened by more tank brigades. He went up to rokosovsky and assured him, "marshal, please rest assured that as long as I have three or five tank brigades in my hand, I can double the area of the current landing site." Rokosovsky was surprised by Batov's promise. After looking at the map, he said thoughtfully: "general Batov, if you can really expand the area of the landing site, you can transfer general Popov's 70th army to the area. I believe that the strength of your two armies is enough to block any German attack of any scale. "
