Chapter 441

I was very excited after hearing that. I didn't expect that this taciturn commissar would believe me so much.

I held his hand and said, "Comrade political commissar, please rest assured that as long as I am the head of the 678th regiment, I will be able to hold our position firmly. I assure you that as long as there is one person in the position, we will never let the Germans break through our line of defense. " Since others appreciate me so much, I must show my determination, but I can't say too much, otherwise it will be empty. I've been in the army for more than a year, but I still have a point in my mind about how to speak to my superiors and how to handle them properly.

Soboli nodded his head with satisfaction and said to Lu Jin and me: "your regiment has suffered a lot of casualties in today's air raid. Due to the loss of all the commanders, the army is now in the stage of chaotic command and low morale. I hope you can select excellent fighters as new commanders at all levels in the company as soon as possible, so that the army can quickly restore its combat effectiveness."

For his proposal, not only I nodded, but also Lu Jin and his commanders nodded.

Soboli added: "although the time is a little short, in order to ensure the safety of the defense line, this work must be carried out as soon as possible. Whether our division's defensive area can be held or not needs our joint efforts. "

I took his words and said, "please rest assured, I will go back to handle this matter, strive to re appoint new commanders in the company within the shortest time, improve the command system of the army, and restore the combat effectiveness of the whole regiment. However, I don't think we can simply stay in the position and wait for the enemy to attack. We should still take some measures to achieve the purpose of active defense. " I'm saying this with a purpose. I want to test soboli's attitude and see what kind of person he is.

Hearing this, soboli said with a smile, "active defense? Comrade commander, your statement is quite novel, but I would like to remind you that the task of your regiment is to hold on to the existing positions. Don't try anything new. If something goes wrong, it will go to the military court. "

Soboli's words completely broke my mind. It was clear that biliukov's and soboli's tactical ideas were quite conservative. According to their meaning, all the commanders and fighters of the 214th division should seize the time to repair and finish the work, and then quietly stay in the position, waiting for the enemy to bombard them with planes.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, I first found a seat facing the entrance, raised my head and said to several commanders standing in the room, "comrades commanders, what are you still doing? Please sit down quickly." Then I raised my hands and pressed them down, indicating that everyone would sit down.

After everyone was seated, I leaned over and said to Lu Jin, "Comrade captain, tell me something about the regiment."

Lu Jin shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Comrade commander, the situation is very bad. As a result of the German air attack at the ferry, the casualties of the troops were very large. The commander, political commissar and commanders of several battalions all died, leaving us a few commanders above the company. " At this point, he turned his head to the other commanders at the table. Seeing that he was looking at himself, the commanders quickly nodded their heads, indicating that he was absolutely right.

I nodded slightly and said softly, "Comrade Lu Jin, I know what you said. What I want to know now is, in view of the current situation of the army, what measures have you taken? "

"After we returned to our positions, we reorganized the troops according to the actual situation of the troops. This matter is in the charge of Captain Slaven, commander of the seventh company. He should report the specific situation to you. " After that, he turned his head to Slaven and said, "Captain, report the situation of the reorganization of the army to the commander."

Slaven stood up, straightened up, and reported to me in a loud voice: "Comrade report leader, we reorganized the remaining units because of the heavy casualties and the loss of many organizational units. There are seven infantry companies, guard platoon, engineer platoon, reconnaissance platoon, health platoon and communication platoon. Except for captain Lukin and you, the rest of us here are company commanders from company one to company seven. "

After listening to his report, I nodded with satisfaction, saying that Lu Jin had considered it very comprehensively and had prepared a guard platoon, so that the safety of the regiment headquarters could be guaranteed. I praised, "Captain Slaven, good job! Is there any urgent problem to be solved? "

Slaven nodded and said bitterly, "Comrade commander, there is really an urgent problem to be solved. Our division is adapted from the reserve forces. Most of the soldiers are recruits and lack training and combat experience. " At this point, he stopped for a moment. Seeing that I was nodding to show that I was listening, he continued: "our weapons and equipment are seriously insufficient. Many soldiers don't even have guns. If they don't have weapons, unarmed soldiers can't stop the bandits who are armed to the teeth."

When I heard that many soldiers were unarmed, I could not help frowning and asked Lu Jin in a low voice, "Captain, what's the matter? You have been in the position for several days. Why are so many soldiers not armed? "

Lu Jin said in a low voice: "Comrade commander, when our division is transferred to this area, the Quartermaster department once said that after we arrive at the defensive zone, there will be special personnel in the logistics department to replenish our weapons and ammunition. As a result, when we got here to inquire, the weapons and equipment originally prepared for us had been allocated to other infantry divisions. For this reason, the division commander once went to the headquarters of the group army to find general trakov, and the commander promised to supplement it for us as soon as possible. "

After listening to what he said, I could not help humming coldly, saying that as soon as possible, with Lao maozi's efficiency, we would not be able to get the arms rationed for half a month. You can't wait to see the battle coming. You have to think of your own way. Since I just came to the 64th group army and didn't know much about everything, I humbly asked Lu Jin, "it seems that we can't expect to wait for the group army to replenish our weapons and equipment in the short term. Comrade captain, do you have any good idea? " Lu Jin said with a smile: "Comrade commander, according to the report of the reconnaissance platoon, five kilometers to the northwest of our army, the enemy has a place to store supplies, where a lot of weapons and ammunition are stored. I originally wanted to send someone to blow up this batch of ammunition overnight, but now I've changed my main idea. I plan to send troops to sneak attack after dark, seize this batch of ammunition from the enemy's hands, and transport it back to arm our troops. What do you think of the plan? " From captain Lu Jin's confident eyes, I suddenly realized that the tactical ideas I had instilled into several of their company commanders had taken root in their minds. Tonight's night attack was the best time for a small trial. I laughed. I am sincerely happy for captain Lukin. He is no longer bound by the common sense he learned in the military academy, and can adjust his combat deployment in time according to the specific situation. This is the result I am happy to see. Although I accepted his plan in my heart, I wanted to know more about the details, so I asked with great interest, "Captain Lukin, I want to ask two questions. First, which unit are you going to send to carry out the night attack? Second, how to transport the arms back after they have been seized? " Lu Jin looked at the standing Slaven and said, "I'm going to give this task to captain Slaven's seventh company. His company has many veteran soldiers and rich combat experience. I believe he will be able to complete this task excellently. Comrade captain, do you have any confidence in completing this task With a smile on his face, Slaven said confidently, "please rest assured that the seventh company will complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors."“ How can the arms be brought back? " Thinking about the transportation of the mountain of arms, I couldn't help asking again“ There are many soldiers in my company who can drive. At that time, let them use trucks to transport arms and try to transport more back. The rest of the arms can't be cheap for nothing. I'll let the soldiers blow up all of them. "
