Chapter 463

Walking into the cabin, which is the headquarters of the regiment, I saw that the layout inside was extremely simple. Except for the map on the table, there was not even a telephone.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help frowning and asked Lu Jin unhappily, "Comrade captain, what's the matter? How can we contact the division headquarters because the headquarters is so simple and crude that we don't even have a telephone?"

Lu Jin's face is red, murmuring: "Comrade Shi, our regiment lacks enough communication equipment, not to mention important telephones, and even the telephone has not left a few, and then with the wide don don" between the division and the division, the communication platoon soldiers can not set up telephone lines at all.

Before he finished complaining, I interrupted him: "Comrade captain, you mean, in a sense, we have completely lost contact with our superiors."

Lu Jin nodded hard and replied, "I think so, comrade commander."

"In that case, let the troops have a good rest in the village. When the division headquarters and other troops cross the river, we will contact them again. "

Listen to me, Lukin and Slaven are indifferent to each other. Lukin nervously reminded me: "Comrade commander, this is not good. You should know that the order given by the division headquarters to our regiment is to build fortifications on the left bank of the Don river, not to carry out rest."

I snorted softly and said with disapproval: "Comrade captain, although we are a regiment in name, in fact, our total strength is only 600 or 700, and most of them are new fighters who are not trained enough and lack combat experience. Where do you think we can build fortifications to guard the wide left bank of the Don river without the cooperation of friendly forces?"

Lu Jin was speechless by me. He opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say.

I thought that if Lu Jin didn't speak, there would be no one to speak, but I forgot that there was still a new political commissar in the room. Kokunov came up to me and said, "Comrade commander, I think the captain is right. Since our task is to build fortifications on the left bank of the Don river, we should carry out this order from our superiors to the letter." At this point, he turned to ask Lu Jin, "by the way, comrade captain, when I was on the road just now, I forgot to ask you what position you held in the regiment?"

Lu Jin blushed, coughed and said, "Comrade political commissar, I used to be the deputy battalion commander, now I am..."

"Captain Lukin is the chief of staff." Before Lukin could finish what he said, I had given him a new identity. The reason why I suddenly said that was because Lukin's identity was so embarrassing. As early as I took over, the soldier straightened up, raised his hand to salute me and said aloud, "Hello, comrade commander. I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, but I've been ordered to see you

"By orders, by whose orders?" When I said this, I was extremely upset. I thought that the only one who could send someone to disturb me at this time was Lukin and kokunov. Lukin didn't deal with me for a day or two. He would never send someone to come to me when I was resting, but political commissar kokunov couldn't tell. Thinking in my heart, I asked unconsciously, "are you sent by political commissar kokunov?"

"Kokunov?! Who is kokunov? I don't know! " The sergeant replied with a blank face.

"It's not kokunov. Who told you to come?" I just want to find out which one in the regiment doesn't have eyes. He dares to send someone to disturb me when I sleep.

"Report, commander. I'm general trakov's driver. He asked me to call you. He is waiting for you in the jeep outside at the moment

"It's the commander When I heard that trakov was coming, I jumped out of bed excitedly. I grabbed the sergeant's shoulder and asked, "is that true, Sergeant? General trakov is waiting for me at the door?"

"Yes, comrade commander." The sergeant replied with a smile.

"Let's go, sergeant. Don't let the commander wait." With that, I couldn't wait to go outside. As I walked, I thought that since trakov had all crossed the Don river, there must be a lot of troops coming with him. With these troops, I would be more confident in guarding the left bank of the Don river.

I didn't expect to walk out of the room and see that there were only three jeeps outside. My heart suddenly cooled. I stopped, turned around and asked the driver who was following me, "Comrade sergeant, are you coming to these three cars?"

The sergeant nodded and said, "yes, comrade commander, the main force of the group army is still on the other side of the river, fighting the enemy tenaciously. And we are going to Stalingrad with our commander. "

As he spoke, the back door of the jeep in the middle was pushed open. Trekov showed half of his body from the inside and yelled at me, "Comrade oshanina, come here."

I quickly ran to him, raised my hand to salute, said with a smile: "Hello, comrade commander, I'm glad to meet you here."

"Comrade oshanina, you immediately transfer the command of the regiment to your deputy, and then follow me to Stalingrad." At this point, trikov suddenly remembered something, frowned and asked, "I remember that almost all the intermediate commanders in your regiment died. Is there a suitable person to take over your command?"

I nodded and replied, "report commander, in addition to me, the regiment also has chief of staff, Captain Lu Jin, and first-class instructor of the political commissar, comrade kokunov."“ Chief of staff and commissar of the regiment, when did you have so many commanders in your regiment? "“ Comrade commander, when I took over the command of the 678th regiment, Captain Lukin was the commander with the highest rank among the surviving commanders in the regiment. If I didn't go, maybe general biliukov would appoint him as the commander. As for Comrade kokunov, he was originally a political worker transferred from Moscow to the 62nd army. When crossing the river with our regiment, the ferry was sunk by the enemy plane and lost the team. Since the commanding force of the regiment was too weak, I decided to leave him in the regiment and let him serve as the political commissar temporarily. At the same time, I let captain Lu Jin serve as the chief of staff of the regiment. " Trekov waved his hand and said, "OK, needless to say. Who do you think is more suitable to take over the command of the regiment? "“ Captain Lukin Since trikov asked, I might have to speak to someone close to me, "Comrade Lu Jin has strong command ability, and he has been in the regiment all the time. All the members of the regiment are very familiar with him. If he is allowed to take over my command post, it will not have any adverse effect on the command of the regiment. "“ If you say so, do as you please When trakov said this, he turned to the jeep behind him and yelled, "Comrade captain, come here for a moment." With his shouts, a captain got out of the car from the co pilot's position and ran to him. After standing at attention, he respectfully asked, "Comrade commander, do you have any instructions?"“ Comrade captain, you stay here and wait for the chief of staff, Captain Lukin, to come back and tell him that I have handed over the commander of the 678th regiment to him. When the order is over, you'll come back quickly. " When the captain gave a loud promise, trakov looked at me and stood in front of him. He waved his head and said, "o'shanina, what are you still doing? Get on the bus quickly. We're going to Stalingrad immediately." I answered quickly, went around the front of the car, opened the front passenger's door and got on the jeep.
