Chapter 442

Although Lukin and Slaven are full of confidence in the night attack, I still feel insecure. After all, this is my first battle since I arrived in the 64th army. If I win, I will certainly be famous and improve the morale of the troops; But if I fail, I will lose my reputation, and the end result is to go back to the 62nd army as a combat staff officer.

To be on the safe side, I specially asked, "Captain Lukin, did your scouts provide a detailed map of the enemy's logistics camp?"

"Yes, comrade commander." Lu Jin said and pushed a one foot square piece of paper on the table to me. When I saw the map, it turned out to be a topographic map drawn with a pencil. Lu Jin pointed to the drawing and said to me, "look, this is the sketch that the Scout brought back. It can be seen from the picture that the Germans did not pay attention to the camp where they stored their supplies, which was a little far away from their main force. In front of the logistics camp is the Garrison's tent, and trucks full of weapons and ammunition are parked behind. The number of the garrison is not large, only about 100 people. There are mobile sentries around the camp. "

Looking at the rough but detailed map in front of me, I asked suspiciously, "Captain Lu Jin, if I remember correctly, you have just returned from the ferry. Even if you sent scouts to scout, you can't report the information so soon. Isn't there any fraud in it? "

As for my suspicion, Lu Jin said with a shy smile: "Comrade commander, you don't know something. In fact, before our regiment received the order to retreat, it sent reconnaissance personnel to sneak into the enemy's rear to carry out reconnaissance tasks. When we exited the defense line from the ferry, the soldiers who went out for reconnaissance just returned. That's why we have this map in front of you. "

It seems that even if I don't come, they will launch an attack on the enemy's logistics camp tonight and seize weapons and ammunition to arm the unarmed soldiers. I stared at the map and asked Lu Jin, "Comrade captain, have you considered how to ensure the safe evacuation of the convoy transporting ammunition after completing the attack? You know, if a truck full of ammunition is found, it will be completely destroyed if it is bombarded by German artillery

Lu Jin was slightly stunned by my question for a moment, and then he said, "Comrade commander, what you said is very reasonable. If the motorcade is attacked by gunfire on the way back, it will be hard to retreat completely. What do you think? Tell me about your plan He said the last sentence to Slaven.

Slaven put his head together and looked at the map for a long time. Finally, he pointed to the logistics camp and said, "it seems that we have to take risks. It's only five kilometers from the camp to our position. If we have enough power, we can reach the position in a few minutes. In such a short period of time, even if the German army is aware of it, there is no time to determine the location of the artillery, and our chances of successful escape are still very high. "

Seeing that the details of the night attack were almost perfect, I didn't criticize any more. Instead, I told Lu Jin, "Comrade captain, remember to inform the troops at the front of the line to pay attention to identification when taking back the trucks. Don't fight with your own people." Having said that, I looked up at the commanders present, waved and said, "the meeting is over. Let's go back to our respective troops. Captain Lukin stayed

Lu Jin, who had stood up and wanted to leave with other commanders, stopped and sat down again.

After all the people in the command post left, I began to reminisce with Lu Jin: "long time no see, comrade Lu Jin. Are all the injuries healed?"

Lu Jin laughed sheepishly and replied, "Comrade commander, thank you for your concern. My injuries are all healed. During the station defense, sapochuk and I were seriously injured and sent to the military hospital in yujanaya. Fortunately, we both survived. My injury recovered quickly, and in less than half a month, I was able to walk on the ground. And sapochuk's luck is almost the same. Although the shrapnel in his waist is taken out, he needs to be cultivated in bed. Seeing me walking around, he can't move, so he lies on the bed and scolds people every day. "

I nodded and said softly, "Lukin, I met lesdayev a few months ago. He took the initiative to tell me about you and sapochuk. I feel very happy to meet you here again today." At this point, I looked up at the roof, sighed softly, and said to myself, "if only three company commanders of independent battalion could appear in front of me at the same time one day."

"There is a chance, comrade commander." Lukin said: "lesdayev is now a major in the Moscow garrison command, and sapochuk has become a company commander in the 54th army of fejiuninsky."

"What? I beg your pardon? Please repeat. Did you just say sapochuk was in the 54th army? " What Lu Jin said suddenly really shocked me. "I also worked as a combat staff officer in the 54th army for a period of time. When did sapochuk go? "

Lu Jin thought about it and replied, "it's about May this year." Maybe I was afraid that I didn't understand, and I specially explained: "after we were discharged from the hospital, we were assigned to the reserve force. A few months ago, the Supreme Command transferred troops from the reserve army to supplement the warhoff front army, and sapochuk's regiment was transferred away. "

When I heard that sapochuk went to the 54th army only after May, I was a little disappointed: "at that time, I had been transferred to the 2nd assault army as battalion commander." We were talking about the past when the telephone on the desk rang. Lu Jin picked it up and listened to it for a while. He immediately stood up and straightened up. Then he handed me the microphone and reminded me in a low voice: "chief, it's the call from the commander of the group army." I took the microphone, and as soon as I heard trakov's hoarse voice, I said with a smile, "Hello, comrade commander of the group army. This is lieutenant commander o'shanina. Do you have any instructions? " "What's the matter, comrade commander?" trekov asked. "Have you met your men?"“ Yes, I've just assigned them a combat mission? "“ Combat mission?! What combat mission? " Trekov asked, puzzled by what I said“ Comrade commander, as you know, our regiment is newly formed. Besides inadequate training and lack of combat experience, the soldiers are also seriously short of weapons. When the enemy attacks us fiercely tomorrow, you can't let our soldiers fight the enemy armed to the teeth with bare hands, can you“ Are you going to attack the enemy's logistics camp and take weapons to arm the army? " In the end, he is worthy of being a commander. Judging from the problem, he is more comprehensive than us. Although I haven't said anything about combat tasks, he has already made a guess. He said unhappily, "it's just a mess. Have you reported such a big action to the division headquarters?" When I heard that, I was in a cold sweat. No, I was chatting with Lu Jin. I even forgot what I had reported to the division headquarters. I quickly explained, "Comrade commander, I was planning to report to the division headquarters, but I didn't expect that you called first." At this point, I raised my hand to wipe the cold sweat on my forehead, and then said, "I sent troops to capture the enemy's supplies, but not to attack by force, but to attack by stealth in the dark. We have made careful arrangements, and the chances of success are still very high. " Trekov was silent for a moment, then said, "well, I'm sure you'll make it. However, I still want to remind you that such a big military operation should be reported to your superior general biliukov immediately, otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be the trial of the military court waiting for you. " With that, I hung up without waiting for me to speak. Putting down the phone, I weighed the plan of action over and over again, and told Lukin: "call captain Slaven, the seventh company commander. I have something to tell him." When I got through to Slaven, I said to him in a loud voice, "Comrade captain, the success of tonight's operation depends on how you direct it. Remember, your mission is to attack by stealth, not by force. Use your brain and think about what you can do to destroy the enemy's Guard troops without disturbing the nearby enemies. The later you are found by the enemy, the higher the chance of successful escape. Well, that's all I have to say. Good luck
