Chapter 1646

It was 11 p.m. when we got back to Lublin. However, the elated rokosovsky still called Moscow, and he wanted to report the good news of the expansion of the silotsk landing site to the staff headquarters overnight.

"Georgi konstantinovic!" On hearing Zhukov's voice, rokosovsky excitedly reported to him: "after three days of fighting, our silotsk landing site has been consolidated, and the area of the landing site has been expanded. The next thing we need to consider is not how to defend the landing site, but how to use it as a springboard for us to attack Germany. "

"What, the silotsk landing site has been consolidated. That's great!" After praising rokosovsky, Zhukov asked, "I believe this battle must have been made by our own hands, otherwise it would not have been so beautiful."

"Comrade marshal, you are mistaken." After looking at my position, rokosovsky said to the microphone with a smile, "I'll give Rita full responsibility for this counterattack mission. I thought it would be very good to recover the lost positions in two or three days. Unexpectedly, she gave us a surprise. It took only one day to not only recover all the lost positions, but also greatly expand the landing area. "

"Oh, is Rita in charge of the fight?" Zhukov was surprised by rokosovsky's words. Before I left Moscow, he and vasilevsky gave me face-to-face advice. However, if we fight according to their deployment, we can't solve the battle in three or five days. Therefore, he asked curiously, "how did she do it?"

When Zhukov heard rokosovsky's story, he said thoughtfully: "originally, I provided you with electronic equipment there just to try to interfere with the German radio communication, but I didn't expect that Lida could seize the favorable opportunity when the German radio communication was interfered, let us mobilize the enemy, and finally accelerated the defeat of the enemy, That's amazing. "

"Yes, comrade marshal, it's the first time I've found out that a battle can be fought like this. It's really subverting our understanding." Rokosovsky also praised me with a smile and said: "I thought that even if the strength of the landing site on the West Bank was strengthened, it would take at least two or three days to defeat the German army before the original landing site could be restored. I didn't expect that according to her playing style, it took only one day to recover all our positions and greatly expand the landing field. "

After they had a few more conversations on the phone, Zhukov turned back to the main topic: "since the silotsk landing site has been able to accommodate our two army groups, you should work out a new campaign plan as soon as possible and report it to the staff headquarters. It's getting colder and colder day by day. You should try to get out to the border between Poland and Germany before the arrival of Polish winter. "

After rokosovsky put down the phone, he called everyone together to discuss how to use the sirotsk landing site to launch a new attack on the German army.

After two hours of intense discussion, there was a preliminary plan: to launch a major assault from the purtusco landing site on the narev River and to detour around Warsaw from the north. From the landing sites of magnushev and puwai, from the south of Warsaw to the south of POZ, a far-reaching assault was carried out. We intend to concentrate our forces on the basis of this idea.

Staring at purtusk on the map to the north of the landing site of selotsk, I thought to myself that this area belongs to the second front army of Belarus. Unless they cooperate with each other, the feasibility of the plan will be greatly reduced if the first front army plays a solo role.

Maybe I was too quiet during the discussion, so I attracted the attention of rokosovsky. He specifically asked me, "what do you think of this battle plan, Rita?"

"It looks like a good plan, but I don't think it's possible to implement it under the current situation." After I said this, I saw that the commanders around the table all showed surprised expressions on their faces, and quickly explained to them, "at present, our troops have been greatly reduced after a long battle. I don't think they have the ability to come up with such a plan until they are replenished with soldiers, weapons and ammunition. "

After listening to me, the first speaker was military commissar jieliejin: "Comrade oshanina, although the troops have been greatly reduced, our political workers at all levels have been encouraging the soldiers to build up their meritorious deeds. I believe that if we can fight as scheduled, we will certainly achieve the desired results. What's more, the tactics you used at the landing site of cerotsk can completely stand up to several German divisions. "

"Comrade military commissar," I said with a bitter smile, "electronic jamming tactics were used by Britain and the United States as early as last year, and the Germans have also developed a series of countermeasures. The reason why they suffered a big loss from us at the landing site in selotsk was that they didn't expect us to suddenly use this tactic and were caught off guard. I think now they are working out countermeasures, and when we use the same tactics again, the effect will be very limited. "

In fact, I haven't said a word. Before long, Zhukov will take over the post of rokosovsky as commander of our front army. Rokosovsky's current plan is just to make wedding clothes for others. But I just want to know it in my heart, but I can't tell anyone about it.

After listening patiently to my conversation with jerekin, rokosovsky asked, "how do you think about that?"“ Although we do not have the ability to attack the German forces in Warsaw for the time being, we can still report this operational plan to the General Staff Headquarters to see how the Supreme Command considers it. " Looking at the departing commander in front of me, I expressed my opinion calmly: "at the same time, we should seize the time to let the troops rest and supplement in the existing defensive areas." Rokosovsky nodded. "You have a point. No matter whether we have the ability to launch a new campaign in the near future, this combat plan should be reported to the staff headquarters as soon as possible. Do you want anything else to add? "“ Maybe, "I didn't intend to say anything more, but when I heard rokosovsky's question, I instinctively said," we should focus our attack on the two landing sites of magnushev and pwawi in the south, instead of taking into account both the north and the south. " My words aroused malining's interest, and he asked me curiously, "Rita, why do we focus on the South and ignore the north?"“ Chief of staff, I think you misunderstood me. " I patiently explained to malining, "our two landing sites in the narev River Valley in the north belong to us and the second front army respectively. According to the style of the General Staff Headquarters, it is entirely possible that they will one day put the 65th and 70th army groups that control the landing site of cerotsk under the command of the second front army. In this way, a campaign that was originally in the charge of one front army will become a campaign in which two front armies participate at the same time, and then our plans will have to be adjusted. "“ Rita has a point After listening to me, rokosovsky immediately added: "Popov's 70th army was briefly incorporated into the second front army in February this year. It is not ruled out that in the future, for the sake of the needs of the campaign, the supreme command may again divide the 65th and 70th army into the second front army. Chief of staff, "he said to malining at the end of the sentence," you first report our operational plan to the headquarters of the general staff, and at the same time start to prepare an offensive plan focusing on the landing site south of Warsaw. " Marinin nodded his head and said in an easy-going manner, "OK, comrade commander, I will follow your order immediately."“ Well, that's all for today's meeting. " Rokosovsky stood up and waved to everyone, "we haven't slept well these days because of the landing of cerotsk. Let's go back and have a good rest today." When I got up and was ready to go outside, rokosovsky stopped me. He said to me with concern, "Rita, you were injured in the plane crash a few days ago, and you haven't had a good rest these two days. I'll give you two days' holiday, so you can have a good rest at home When I left the headquarters, got on the special bus arranged for me by malining and went to my residence, I suddenly thought of a key problem: after rokosovsky was appointed commander of the second front army of Belarus, the former commander General zaharov was transferred to the first front army as deputy commander, If the superior appoints him here as the deputy commander of the front army, how will I be resettled? Just as I was daydreaming, the car suddenly stopped. The officer in the co pilot's seat turned to me and said, "Comrade deputy commander, here you are!" I looked out at the light yellow three story building and asked curiously, "where is this place?"“ It's an officer's dormitory. " The officer replied respectfully, "please follow me and I'll take you to the officer on duty." I followed the officer into the hall. Although it was late at night, the lights were still bright. When we saw us coming in, a young female officer in a straight uniform behind the counter stood up from her seat and politely said, "is that general o'shanina?" After seeing me nodding in affirmation, she said respectfully, "your room has been arranged for you. It's on the second floor. I'll take you up in person later. May I help you with your luggage“ No, "I said, shaking my head in a hurry." I don't have any luggage. Please take me to my room now. "
