Chapter 606

"Commander Oleg, what the hell is going on?" I just received a report from gedar that the German tanks bypassed the friendly highlands and let the city rush. How in a twinkling of an eye, Oleg reported that the German armored forces had cut off our contact with the city and turned us into a lone army behind the enemy? I asked with a fluke: "just a minute ago, Lieutenant Colonel gedar reported to me that about 40 German tanks, many armored vehicles and motorcycles were rushing to the city in an attempt to cut off the back of the counterattack troops. Are you talking about the same troops?"

"What, Colonel gedar has reported to you?" Oleg was stunned at first, and then said firmly, "Comrade division, I don't think what commander Gaidar and I see is the same army. There are only a dozen tanks, seven or eight armored vehicles and a large number of infantry coming from the West. From the perspective of the way forward, they are trying to seize the ferry terminal and cut off the connection between the city and the other side of the river. "

In my mind, I quickly recalled the garrison positions of the gedar and Oleg divisions. Because of the large number of troops in the three regiments and four regiments, I arranged them in the East, West and north directions of the residential area; The reason why Oleg regiment is placed in the south by me is not only because of the small number of troops of the fifth regiment, but also because the buildings here and the garrison positions in the city are only 100 meters away. If they are attacked by the German army, in addition to the support from the rear of the third regiment and the fourth regiment, the garrison in the city can also attack from the rear to give the German army a back and forth attack.

When I think about it, my thinking gradually becomes clear. The Scouts of Gaidar found that they had bypassed the 107.5 highland and directly attacked the city from north to south. What Oleg found was the German army, which attacked from west to East. The goal of this army was to seize the dock. On the road leading to the wharf, a political commissar of the regiment looked me up and down suspiciously, and said blankly, "I'm sorry, comrade Colonel, I didn't receive the relevant order."

"Now you have received it, comrade political commissar of the Communist Youth League." After that, I passed by, took the phone from her hand, stuck it to my ear, and blew into the microphone. When I heard a voice coming from the earphone, I said decisively and simply, "I'm the commander of the independent division, Col. o'shanina. I'm under the command of general Krylov, chief of staff of the group army, to take over the command of all the troops at the dock."

When the other party heard me say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then politely said, "Hello, comrade Colonel, I'm Kuznetsov, political commissar of division and regiment level of the 10th infantry division of the people's Committee of the interior. I didn't receive your order to command the dock troops."

"Now you are officially receiving it, comrade political commissar of the regiment." When I thought that I could command the army of the Ministry of interior, although there was only one battalion, I felt proud. Then I said to the division commissar in the tone of command: "Comrade Kuznetsov, the situation is very critical. German tanks may rush to the dock at any time, so please contact the infantry battalion commander on the dock immediately, Tell them that I will be in command, so as not to delay the fight. "

Kuznetsov did not dare to neglect what I said so seriously. He quickly replied, "OK, comrade Colonel, I'll inform the battalion commander in charge of the wharf guard task immediately and ask him to report to you as soon as possible."

After putting down the phone, I turned around and asked the political commissar of the Communist Youth League: "Comrade political commissar of the Communist Youth League, I ask you, how many anti-aircraft guns are there in your regiment?"

After putting on his cap, the political commissar of the regiment said to me, "report to Mr. division chief, because our regiment has been attacked by the German Air Force recently, we have suffered a great loss. At present, there are only eight anti-aircraft guns and 15 anti-aircraft machine guns left."

"Apart from the AA machine guns, the rest of the AA guns were immediately transferred to the dock fortifications. We are short of anti tank weapons now, so we can only use these anti-aircraft guns as anti tank guns. "

After listening to my words, the political commissar of the regiment said with a embarrassed face: "Sir, if you transfer all the anti-aircraft guns away, then the air defense task on the wharf will not be guaranteed."

Recalling the situation of the German planes' reckless dive and strafe bombing over the dock yesterday, I couldn't breathe. So I said coldly, "Comrade political commissar of the regiment, if the German tanks rush to the dock, what's the meaning of our so-called air defense then?"

Seeing that the political commissar of the regiment was speechless by me, I turned and told Willa, "Willa, go out and tell captain busmanov to let the men help the women and push the anti-aircraft guns to the barricade."

After Vera turned and left, I waved my head to the political commissar of the regiment and said, "come on, comrade political commissar of the regiment, please accompany me to the garrison camp to take command first."

When we were walking towards the defense area of the garrison camp, I looked at the gloomy female League political commissar around me and politely asked, "Comrade League political commissar, I don't know what to call you?"

"Li Jiya, deputy battalion political commissar."

"How about the fortifications on the dock, can they block the German tanks?" To tell you the truth, although I have been authorized to take over the command of the dock troops, I still have a black eye on what's going on here, so I need to take the time to ask this regimental commissar about the situation.

"On the road leading to the wharf, there are two concrete blockhouses, which are built with reinforced concrete one meter later. German tank shells can't pierce them. Each bunker has a class of defenders. I don't know the firepower, but it should be able to block the Germans. "

"What if I can't stop it?" I asked back impolitely. Li Jiya laughed awkwardly and replied, "Comrade teacher, I think we should be able to hold on. I think we all know the meaning of this city named after the Supreme Commander himself. Even if they sacrifice their lives, they will not let the enemy move forward. "“ The idea is good, comrade political commissar of the Communist Youth League. " I said with disapproval: "it's not enough just to have fighting enthusiasm. Our soldiers must have the ability to block the enemy first. Otherwise, German tanks can't swagger to the city of Stalingrad." My words angered Li Jiya. Regardless of my rank higher than her, she said angrily, "Comrade Colonel, who gives you the right to insult our soldiers, you should know that even if we sacrifice our lives, we can't hand over Stalingrad. We just want to use our bodies to keep the enemy out of the city." With that, she walked forward alone. When I was hesitating whether to apologize to her, a commander in a helmet came running to us. He ran to Li Jiya and took her by the arm, as if he was anxious to ask something. Li Jiya forced her arm out of his hand and pointed to me angrily. Then she stood on the side of the road with her back to me, sulking. The commander ran to me and stood at attention. He reported, "Comrade Colonel, I'm captain Prokop, commander of the 10th infantry division of the Ministry of interior. I just received a call from the political commissar from the division saying that from now on, you will take over the command of the dock troops. I'm here to report to you and wait for your next instructions." I waved forward and said, "come on, comrade captain, let's talk as we go." After that, I ran towards the direction of the captain. When I passed Li Jiya, I grabbed her hand and forced her to go forward with me. On the way, I began to learn from captain Prokop: "Comrade captain, how is your defense area now?" Prokop quickly replied, "report, comrade Colonel, just now the German army launched an attack on us. However, as their rear area was attacked by our army, the tanks had to stop and turn around just before they rushed to the concrete blockhouse on our position. The soldiers who stayed in the blockhouse decisively attacked. They destroyed two tanks with anti tank grenades and broke the tracks of one tank. When the tank soldiers escaped, they were killed by our soldiers with machine guns. "“ Well done, comrade captain After praising the captain, I began to understand the deployment of the battalion. "Do you have any other fortifications besides the two cement blockhouses?"“ Yes, comrade colonel Captain Prokop replied clearly: "behind the two blockhouses, we have a trench and a dozen barricades made of sandbags and logs. There are also our soldiers hiding in the nearby buildings. Even if the German tanks break through our lines, the soldiers hiding in the buildings can continue to fight with the German infantry. " When the captain said this, his face showed a proud expression. However, the more I listened, the more dissatisfied I became. I unconsciously frowned. As soon as the captain finished speaking, I would criticize him impolitely: "Comrade captain, your task is to guard the wharf. Whether it is German infantry or German tanks, you can't let them enter our wharf." When I said this, Prokop could not help but open his mouth and retort weakly for a long time: "but, comrade Colonel, we are short of anti tank weapons. We can't stop the tanks rushing towards us at all?"
