Chapter 355

The sudden change made the situation in the headquarters a little chaotic. All the soldiers who rushed in were unwilling to let their teachers be controlled by me and pointed their guns at me one after another.

"Put the gun down!"“ Let go of our teacher

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, I can't help feeling weak. You know, it's on someone else's territory. At this time, both sides are nervous. Once someone can't help pulling the trigger, I can be turned into a beehive in an instant. But now it's hard to ride a tiger. I have to bear it hard. I yelled at the commanders and fighters: "put down your guns, or I'll shoot!" Then he stabbed dorofeyev's bald head with the barrel of his gun.

Dorofeyev, who was shot to the head by me, although he was a lecheron, was extremely single at the moment. He even calmly advised me: "major oshanina, I want to remind you that this is the territory of my 378th division. I advise you to let go of me immediately, otherwise as soon as I give an order, you will be killed by random guns. "

His words made me flustered for a while, because of tension, my breathing became heavy, my fingers trembled, and I almost pulled the trigger. Fortunately, I soon returned to normal, and the barrel of the gun poked him in the head and said indignantly, "Comrade Colonel, we can make a bet. I can blow your head off before your men shoot. "

"Put down your guns!" After a brief silence, dorofeyev issued an order to his subordinates. Seeing that all the officers and men lowered their guns, he picked up the cigarette box on the table and took out a cigarette in his mouth. In order to prevent him from playing tricks, the muzzle of my gun is still on his head, and I try to take the initiative in my own hands. Looking at ulanowa still standing beside the wall in a daze, he immediately called out to him: "ulanowa, go and bandage Comrade samoilov's wound, so that he won't die of excessive bleeding."

Ulannova agreed and squatted down to check the injury on samoirov's leg. She lifted her trouser legs to have a look, turned her head and asked the group of officers and men behind: "who has a first aid kit?"

"I have!"“ I have! " The commanders and fighters rushed to answer one after another, and handed their first-aid kit to ulanova. Ulannova grabbed one and began to bandage samoirov. After dressing, she asked two soldiers to help him sit down opposite us. She came to my back, wiped a sweat, said in a low voice: "did not hurt the bone, as long as you need to rest for a few days can be good."

Although the other side's gun was put down and the injured chief of staff dressed up the wound, I couldn't let dorofeyev go because I didn't know what cruel means he would use to deal with me once he was let go.

Just when I was in a dilemma, the high-frequency telephone on my desk suddenly rang, which startled me and almost pulled the trigger. After taking a deep breath, I pointed my gun at samoirov, who was sitting opposite us: "chief of staff, you pick up the phone, maybe it's an important phone."

Samoylov looked at me, picked up the phone without expression, and said to the phone, "Hello, I'm commander samoylov, chief of staff of the 378th division. Who's calling, please?"

The other party may have reported his identity. Samoylov, who was sitting at the table, quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Hello, comrade commander of the group army. What instructions do you have After hearing what the other party said, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said haltingly: "sorry, comrade commander, Captain boroda is not in the division headquarters at the moment. He took the team to find general Vlasov's whereabouts."

"I said, old man, who called?" Asked Colonel dorofeyev in a low voice.

Samoylov quickly covered the microphone and said in the same low voice, "it's general korovnikov, commander of the group army. He said he has an important task to convey to captain boroda."

"Please tell the commander that captain boroda is not in. Let us know if there is anything. When the captain comes back, we will give him the order."

Hearing what dorofeyev said, samoylov immediately understood and said cautiously in the microphone, "report to commander, although captain boroda is not in, you can tell me what the mission is. As soon as the captain comes back, I will report the order to him." I don't know what the other party said in the microphone. Samoylov's face changed. Then he handed me the microphone and said, "major oshanina, comrade commander of the group army wants to speak to you."

I held the gun in my right hand and continued to aim at dorofeyev's head. I answered the phone with my left hand and said, "Hello, I'm major oshanina!"

"Hello, comrade major." "I'd like to introduce myself to you first. My name is Ivan jielianjivich korovnikov, commander of the 59th army."

"Hello, comrade commander!" I stood up straight and asked respectfully, "do you have any instructions? I'm at your command. "

General kolovnikov was silent for a few seconds before he continued: "I have just received an order from general meletzkov, commander of the front army, to transfer the command of the 378th infantry division to you and lieutenant boroda. Since the captain is not here, I'll give you the appointment directly. Move now, major. Prepare to take command of the division. By the way, give the call to Colonel dorofeyev, and I have a few words to say to him. "

When I handed dorofeyev the microphone, I put the gun back in the holster. Now that I have received the order from this division, these people are even my subordinates. They have lent them ten courage, and no one dares to shoot at me. When dorofeyev put down the phone, his face was similar to that of his dead parents. With a sad face, he said to me, "Comrade major, I have been ordered to hand over the command of the division to you and captain boroda. You see, shall we hand it over now, or shall we hand it over when Captain boroda comes back? "“ Don't wait, I'm back! " The voice came from the door, and then a dignified commander pushed aside the soldier standing in the door and came straight in. He was no one else. It was captain boroda who separated from me in the early morning. He went up to dorofeyev and said coldly, "Comrade Colonel, I have been ordered to take command of the 378th infantry division." Dorofeyev stood up, saluted boroda and me, and said in a loud voice, "report to the major and the captain, the former commander of the 378th division, Colonel dorofeyev, who has been ordered to give you the command of the division." Boroda nodded, did not pay attention to dorofeyev and samoylov, but turned to the commander behind and asked, "who is in charge among you?" A major came forward, saluted captain boroda and said, "Hello, comrade captain. This is major Antonov, chief of staff. Do you have any instructions? "“ Call in all the commanders above the battalion, "boroda said, looking up at his watch." let them come to the division headquarters for a meeting as soon as possible within an hour. It's an important task. Do you understand? "“ I understand, comrade captain! " Major Antonov's answer was neat, and I knew in my heart that it was only a superficial phenomenon. I didn't feel good about constantly honoring someone who was lower than my rank. Seeing that the major had gone to carry out his mission, Captain boroda gave a slight sneer, and then told the soldiers following him: "four of you, in groups of two, are responsible for protecting the safety of Colonel dorofeyev and lieutenant colonel samoirov. Remember, we must ensure the personal safety of the two commanders. If anything goes wrong, I only want you to ask. " After boroda's subordinates took dorofeyev and samoirov away, boroda drove out all the officers and men around the door and sat down again. I am very curious about how boroda appeared in this place at this moment. You know, he once said that he would go near the village and continue to search for Vlasov's whereabouts. I thought I couldn't see you for at least two or three days. I didn't expect to see you again after just a few hours apart. I asked curiously, "Comrade captain, didn't you go to find the whereabouts of general Vlasov near the village of piatnica? Why did you come back so soon?" Captain boroda said solemnly: "when I was carrying out the mission, I received the order from the commander of the front army through the car radio. Let me go back to the 378th division headquarters immediately and take over the 378th division with you. The order also says that you will be appointed as the division commander for the time being, and I will be your chief of staff. "
