Chapter 201

Zhukov's words made my heart beat and I was promoted to Colonel! Although the rank is only one level higher than now, it is still an irresistible temptation for me. As the head of a division, I'm just a small lieutenant commander, commanding a group of generals and colonels with higher ranks than me. I always feel that I don't have enough confidence. If I can get a higher rank this time, I will be more upright when I speak. It seems that if there is a chance in the future, we should organize more such attacks. In a year, I may become a general.

"Comrade teacher! Mr. and Comrade teachers! " Next to dolov's call, let me wake up from my wishful thinking. I realized that Zhukov had already cut off the call, and I was still giggling with my headset and microphone. Seeing that the major and several signalmen looked at me with strange eyes, I could not help blushing. I quickly put down what I had in hand, looked at the major and asked, "major dolov, what's the matter with you?"

Durov did not expect that I would suddenly ask this question. He was a little flustered and quickly replied, "I just want to ask you what to do next?"

Without thinking, I told him, "you should contact General katukov, general leviakin, Colonel chisjakov, Lieutenant Colonel sherebriakov, and lieutenant commander mlakintsev immediately, and let them come to the headquarters immediately. I have new combat tasks to assign."

"Yes With a loud promise, he went up to carry out my order and informed all regimental commanders by telephone to come to my temporary headquarters for a meeting.

In less than ten minutes, all the commanders who were named just now arrived at the temporary headquarters.

Looking at everyone sitting around the table, I was not polite. I pointed to the map of Taiyangshan city on the table and gave them an order directly: "comrades commander, we have occupied Taiyangshan city now, and the next task is to guard it. At present, the three settlements in the southeast of the city, sville chikovo, Sheri shevo and martenovo, are still occupied by the German army. We should quickly attack and recapture the settlements. Commander sherebriakov

"Here it is When the commander heard my roll call, he jumped up from his position and stood upright.

"Your regiment is responsible for the Western defense of Taiyangshan city. Without affecting the defense deployment, draw out a battalion and assemble in the southwest of the city."

"Yes He agreed and sat down.

"Colonel chisgakov!"

"Here it is The Colonel stood up in a high voice.

"Your regiment is responsible for the defense task in the north of the city. After the deployment is completed, take out the Third Battalion of major shedulin and assemble in the southwest of the city."

"Yes Although he didn't understand my intention, he agreed very simply.

"General leviagin!"

"Here it is The general sitting next to me immediately stood up.

"Your regiment is responsible for the defense to the east of the city. The first battalion of major dolov was transferred to the southwest of the city to assemble. "

"Yes He agreed and sat down.

"Lt. Col. mlakintsev and commissar slavkin!"

"Here it is The two chubby commanders stood up at the same time. Without waiting for me to speak, political commissar slavkin asked in advance: "Comrade division, is our regiment responsible for the defense of the south of the city and dispatching a battalion to the southwest of the city?"

"Comrade political commissar, you are only half right. The defense in the south of the city belongs to your regiment, but only one battalion needs to be left, and the rest of the troops will gather in the southwest of the city."

Seeing that his political commissar asked a question, the commander next to him hesitated for a moment and summoned up courage to ask: "Comrade division commander, several troops have assembled in the southwest of the city. May I ask what is the combat mission?"

"Yes, I'll tell you now. The reason why I am assembling so many troops is to attack three residential areas. "

"What are the specific operational tasks?" This time it's general katukov.

"My political commissar, what time is it?" Instead of answering the general's question directly, I turned to ask the political commissar sitting next to me, yegorov. He raised his wrist, looked at his watch and replied, "it's ten in five minutes."

Knowing the specific time, I then arranged a new combat mission: "this operation is under the command of Colonel chisgakov. After the troops are assembled, they immediately attack the three residential areas of sville chikovo, Sheri shevo and martenovo in a clockwise direction. General katukov's tank brigade was the leader, tearing open the enemy's line of defense, followed by infantry, clearing the remaining enemy in the settlements. "

"What shall we do after the recovery of the settlements?" Asked chisgakov curiously.

"Don't worry about that. Now there are troops sent by general rokosovsky attacking the residential areas. After seizing the settlement, you just attack the next target, and the friendly forces will naturally accept the defense of the settlement. All in all, move quickly. After clearing out all the enemies in the residential area, you need to return quickly to defend the city to cope with the possible counter attack of the enemy. Do you understand? "

"I see!" All of you answered in unison.

"Now that you understand, let's go back to the army and get ready! I hope the attack will start at 11 o'clock on time

As we dispersed one after another, there were only three commanders left in the room, I, political commissar yegorov and general leviagin. They were studying the feasibility of my mission on the map, but I was walking around the room, thinking about when and with what kind of forces the German army would launch another attack on sun mountain city. At this time, I heard the signalman sitting in the corner calling me: "Comrade division commander, it's general Zhukov, commander of the front army. He wants to speak to you." Leviagin and yegorov also heard the voice of the signalman, stopped studying the map, and looked up at me nervously. I quickly walked over, took the headset and microphone from the signalman, and said in a loud voice, "Hello, senior general! I'm lieutenant commander o'shanina“ I congratulate you, comrade Rita“ congratulate? Congratulations on what? " Zhukov's words made me confused, and I couldn't help asking“ Comrade Stalin has already known about you. He is very satisfied with your decisive organization of the attack and the quick recovery of Taiyangshan city. He has decided to give you a special reward. "“ Special reward? " I asked curiously again, "what's the special reward? Did Comrade Stalin pass the application of the front army to promote me to the rank of Colonel?"“ No! " Zhukov simply gave me a negative answer“ Ah Hearing this news, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but Zhukov's next words almost made me jump up: "Comrade Stalin said that in order to commend you for your great achievements in the battle, he decided to make an exception to promote you to the rank of major general!"
