Chapter 70

The operator, Orlov, sat at the table and set up the Bodo telegraph with nimble hands and feet. Then he looked up at me and asked, "can we start? Comrade commander

I nodded and said, "let's go."

The operator's fingers were beating flexibly on the key of the telegraph, and a long string of "is anyone there?"? Is anyone here? Is anyone there

The other party's reply soon appeared on the narrow note: "Comrade rokosovsky, commander of the group army, will speak to you. Please wait a moment."

After waiting for a minute or two, the telegraph began to come alive again, and the note that came out said, "Hello!"

"Hello I don't need to tell you. Orlov replied immediately. Seeing such a scene, let me more or less find the feeling of chatting QQ, the two sides of the telegraph operators through the telegraph, we want to chat content word for word through the telegraph to the other side, and the telegraph spit out the narrow note shows all our chat records.

"Comrade oshanina, where have you and your team arrived?" Rokosovsky asked directly.

"We've reached a small village near yasnayapolana, and we can start reconnaissance tomorrow."

"Did you have a good journey?"

"We had two small battles with the German army on the road, but we were very smooth."

"Any casualties?" The commander asked again with concern.

"No, not a single casualty. After these two battles, we have wiped out more than 20 German devils and rescued hundreds of captured soldiers. I have arranged for the soldiers of small teams to lead them back to our fortified positions. "

"Well done! But you can't be proud. You should organize the reconnaissance work conscientiously and provide accurate information for the battle we are going to fight in the near future. "

"I understand!" After replying to the other party, I suddenly remembered the huge convoy I saw on the road during the day, and then dictated to the telegraph operator: "we met a German mechanized army on the road today. Judging from the scale of the convoy, it should be an armored division. They are pushing towards the northeast. It is estimated that they are planning to launch a new round of attacks on our positions."

The telegraph was suddenly silent. There was no response. After a long time, the note began to crawl again. I grabbed the note and saw it printed: "in what area do you think the German army will launch a new offensive?"

This question of rokosovsky has stopped me. This German army is not under my command. How can I guess where they are going to attack? However, since the commander asked this question, I couldn't answer it. It took me a while to think about it, and then I vaguely replied, "I think the focus of the German attack is still in the defensive area of the Panfilov division." I don't mean to say this without a definite aim. In the history I know, although the Panfilov division was not established for a long time, it became famous in the first World War through the Moscow defense war. As the main force of the 16th group army fighting with the German army, they fought in almost all the defensive areas of the group army, and repeatedly damaged the German army. Finally, because of their remarkable achievements, Stalin personally awarded the title of the eighth division of the guards.

"You are right. During the day today, the German army formed a powerful tank assault group with 125 tanks. With the support of the air force, they launched a crazy attack on the wolokramsk road defended by the Panfilov division. Although the soldiers fought tenaciously, there was a great disparity between the enemy and us. In the evening, the station of wolokramsk was occupied by the German army. Now general Panfilov is organizing a counterattack, trying to drive out the German troops who occupied the station. "

"With the current strength of the 316th division, it is difficult to keep the German troops even if they are driven out of the station."

"Do you have any good suggestions?" He consulted me modestly, without the arrogance of the superior over the subordinate.

"After such a long time of fighting, the artillery of the 316 Division has been seriously damaged, and it is no longer enough to deal with the part of the German troops that have been put into the battlefield. I think it is necessary to add new artillery units as soon as possible in order to block the attack of German armored forces. "

"I talked to Zhukov on the phone in the morning and had won two 37mm anti-aircraft artillery regiments from him. The commanders of these two regiments have just reported to me and are waiting for my next order in the headquarters. "

"A 37mm antiaircraft gun is enough for German tanks."

"Well, I'll send an antiaircraft artillery regiment to the Panfilov division immediately. That's it. Good luck and return soon. " Then the telegraph note stopped, which meant that the communication was officially over.

"Comrade commander," as soon as he finished his contact with the headquarters of the group army, he suddenly heard sapochuk's voice. Looking back, he stood at the door holding an old lady in a headscarf. Seeing that I noticed him, he continued, "I found this aunt from the village. She can provide you with some useful information."

I let the old lady into the room, brought a chair, asked her to sit down, and poured a cup of tea for her, then asked: "old lady, how can I address you?"

"My name is ayuna. I'm from this collective farm."

"How many people are left on the farm?"“ Most of the people have evacuated to the rear, and there are still more than a dozen households left in the farm. " "Oh," I said, and then I asked, "how long have the Germans occupied this place?" In my opinion, in the next section of the bridge, the people in the enemy occupied areas should see their troops and immediately cry out in front of them about the enemy's persecution and so on. I was thinking about how to comfort the old lady later“ It's almost a week. " Unexpectedly, she answered me coldly“ It's been a hard time, isn't it? " I tried to lead her ideas to the bridge I had imagined, so that when she asked for German intelligence, she would know everything and say everything“ How could it be? " She said with some dissatisfaction, "what's wrong with the German people? When they came, they not only didn't steal or rob, but also sent people to help me dive and chop firewood every day when they saw that I was an old woman who didn't live well."“ Ah? " What she said made me feel anxious. I couldn't help wondering if it was the German communist who occupied the village? How do I feel that those people in her mouth are like people's soldiers. I cough, digress and ask, "how many Germans are there in the village?"“ It seems that there are more than a dozen of them. They live in the house next to them. " She seemed to think of something. She stood up, looked around, and cried out, "Yiyang na! Yiyang na!! Where are you? " After a few shouts, seeing that no one answered her, he began to say to himself, "it's so late. Where will Yi Yangna go? She's usually at home at this time. " Yi Yang Na, hearing the name, I can't help but take a breath, thinking that it's not the young girl killed by ah Ji, right? He took the old lady and asked, "ayuna, who is Yiyang na?"“ Who else could it be? " She replied unsatisfied, "don't you know who she is when you live in her house?" Then he said to himself, "she seldom goes out at ordinary times. Why isn't she at home today? Is there an accident? " Listening to her saying this, I can't help getting a little flustered. It turns out that the girl who was killed by ah Ji just now is really Yi Yang Na in her mouth. I quickly cut off the topic and said, "maybe she's going out for something. Maybe she'll be back in a while." The old lady stared at me for a while, which made me more and more flustered. Seeing that I was so nervous, the old lady suddenly realized. Then she rushed over and grabbed my collar, shook it hard, and asked me aloud, "I see. You must have found that she was dealing with German people, and then you killed her. Don't you think so! Isn't it? You animals In the face of the angry old lady, I was speechless for a moment. I could only let her hold my collar tightly. Next to sapochuk and the operator saw this situation, they rushed to catch the old lady, desperately trying to open her hand. Two people dragged the old lady out of the room, I silently fell to the edge of the bed, at a loss, ah Ji ran into such a catastrophe, how should I deal with him?
