Chapter 1134

Although I have just won a big victory, I know that this victory is composed of many accidental factors. Even if I want to copy it, it is almost impossible. If we are complacent and take it lightly, it is still unknown whether we can hold the position or not when the Germans slow down and make the last strong attack again.

As the 51st division of the guards suffered a great loss in yesterday's and today's battles, if they were allowed to continue to divide their forces to guard the recovered positions 2 and 3, the overall defense force would be weak. Therefore, I let the 90th division of the guards of Colonel Chernoff take over the defense of the area. At the same time, berey's tank troops were also deployed in the rear of the two guard divisions to provide cover and support for the infantry.

After my deployment was completed, tavartkilaze finally couldn't help asking his own question: "Comrade commander, according to our initial assumption, after making way for the attacking German army, they should attack our second line of defense with all their strength. But now the situation is that some of their troops have rushed to our second line of defense, while more troops are constantly attacking the defensive areas of our division and the 52nd close guard division. It seems that they will not be reconciled if they do not completely eliminate us. What is the reason for this? "

As for tavartkilaze's question, I pointed to the map with a wry smile and said to him, "Comrade General, I'm to blame for this. It's my misjudgment. I always thought that when the German opened a gap in our defense, they would rush forward regardless. However, we have overlooked one point. Even if we have made way for the German army, all the commanding heights in this area are still in our hands, so that we can be condescending and do great damage to the German army. Under such circumstances, if the German army does not eliminate these unsafe factors, how can they boldly push forward with confidence? "

When I said this, tawalter killazerton suddenly realized: "it's so. No wonder the German army launched a crazy attack on us. Even after positions 2 and 3 were lost one after another, the German army's attack did not weaken. It turned out that they wanted to destroy us completely before they dared to continue to push forward to the second line of defense."

After tavartkilaze finished, I nodded and said, "although the German army suffered a big defeat today, they will never give up. The enemy's strength is several times that of ours, and there are many more tanks and artillery than ours. In the next defensive battle, you will have to bear a lot of pressure. "

"Comrade commander is right." As soon as I finished, Chernoff immediately took over and said, "I expect the German army will launch a crazy attack on us tomorrow morning at the latest."

I looked at this strange guard division commander and asked cautiously, "Comrade Colonel, in the face of the German crazy attack, can you stop them?"

"No problem, comrade commander." Chernoff swore to me: "although our division had some casualties in the battle just ended, the main force of the Division has been completely preserved. I don't think there is any problem in blocking the German attack."

After hearing this, I turned to tawalter killazer and asked, "Comrade General, what do you say?"

When tavartkiraze heard my question, he said solemnly, "Comrade commander, although I also want to tell you that there is no problem in holding the position. But in the past two days of fighting, more than half of our troops were killed and wounded. If the German forces make a few more high-intensity attacks, our division will almost be able to cancel its organizational structure. "

When I heard that tavartkilaze said that more than half of the troops were killed or injured, I also had a headache. At present, I only have the 89th division of the close guard in my hand, which I am prepared to reserve for the grand counterattack. I can never give it to any troops at this time. Therefore, I hesitated for a long time before I tentatively asked, "Comrade General, how do you think about it?"

"Can you send me a reserve team?" Tavartkilaze asked me for troops. "If we don't get support, I think it's very difficult to hold the position. At that time, positions No. 2 and No. 3 were lost because the enemy was able to occupy the high ground only after all the defenders on the positions were killed

"Why are there so many casualties in the army?" Hearing what tavartkilaze said, I was puzzled and asked, "there are relatively perfect tunnels and fortifications in positions 2 and 3. How could the troops be killed and killed in such a short time?"

Tavartkilaze thought for a while and replied, "I guess it's because the commanders and fighters are not familiar with the tunnels, so they are unwilling to use the tunnels to hide when they are bombarded or bombed, resulting in a large number of unnecessary casualties."

Tavartkilaze's words sounded an alarm for me. I thought that with the tunnel works, the casualties of the garrison would be greatly reduced when they were defending. I didn't expect that there would be people who didn't know how to use the tunnel for defense and paid the price they shouldn't have paid. Thinking of this, I asked anxiously, "Comrade General, the commanders and fighters in position one will not make similar mistakes again, will they?"

"Don't worry, comrade commander! There is no problem with position 1. They just know that only by relying on tunnels and surface positions can they firmly hold their positions under the crazy attack of the German army. " When I mentioned the No. 1 position, tavartkilaze immediately became full of confidence. Seeing that I looked at him in surprise, he quickly explained, "don't forget, Lieutenant Colonel Lu Jin, the head of the 309th regiment, but your old subordinates are very familiar with your tactics."

After listening to tavartkilaze talking about Lukin, I immediately realized that Lukin might have something to do with the reason why the 51st division of the guards could hold the No. 1 position. I could not help but feel relieved.

Before I could speak, the telephone on the desk rang. Tavartkilaze picked up the phone and listened to it for a moment. He immediately handed it to me. At the same time, he whispered, "Comrade commander, it's general watujing."

It's said that it's watujing. I can't help raising my eyebrows. My heart says that what does he call me for at this time? I put the microphone to my ear and said respectfully, "Hello, comrade commander of the front army."

"Hello, comrade o'shanina. I have just read a telegram saying that you have won a great battle. With the support of the air force, you have successfully defeated the German "Hitler division" and "imperial division". This is a great victory. It happened that marshal vasilevsky, the chief of the general staff, was here. He was also very pleased to see the telegram and quickly informed Marshal Zhukov and the supreme command of the news. "

"Comrade commander of the front army, the comrades of the air force also contributed a lot to this victory." I know that our achievements are clearly written in the telegram that tavartkilaze sent to the headquarters of the front army, but I don't mention much about the contribution of the air force. I just take this opportunity to mention the matter of the air force to vatukin: "our pilots have done a great job. They not only drive out the German air robbers, but also guide the air force Cover tank and infantry attacks. It is because of their full cooperation that we can achieve such a victory

"You did a good job, too." "I heard from the air force comrades that your commanders cooperated with them very well. As soon as they bombed, your tanks and infantry would rush up and beat the German troops who were dazed by the bombing to pieces," vatukin said with a smile on the phone

When talking with watujing, I suddenly thought of apanashchenko. When watujing finished speaking, I immediately said to him, "Comrade commander of the front army, I have an important thing to report to you."

Vatukin was obviously in a good mood. He said with a smile, "if you have anything, just say it."

"Well, comrade commander." I organized some words in my mind, and then reported to him, "as you know, general apanashchenko, deputy commander of the front army, has come to our front position. In order to ensure his safety, when I tried to persuade him to go back, I lied to him that the war report in the telegram was not detailed. I asked him to report to you the details of our victory after he went back. "

"Is he back?" Asked vatukin nervously.

"Back, comrade commander. As soon as he heard that he was going back to report the details of the battle to you, he left without hesitation. " After that, I asked tentatively, "is it appropriate for me to cheat him like this?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, comrade oshanina. You think too much." For my cautious attitude, watujing said: "even if Comrade apanashchenko knows the truth, he will not blame you. After all, you are also for his safety."

"That's good.", After I felt at ease, I put forward my own request to vatujing: "Comrade commander, if possible, please stop Comrade deputy commander from coming to the front again. It's too dangerous here. I'm really worried about his accident."

"I see what you mean, comrade oshanina." Listen to me here, vatukin's tone has become more serious, he solemnly said: "I will try to prevent him from going to the front again."

After the call with watujing, I did not leave immediately. Instead, I continued to stay in the division headquarters of the 51st division of Jinwei to supervise them to complete the repair works and improve their defense.

Seeing that I had been staying in his division headquarters, tavartkiraze couldn't help looking a little restless. He finally seized an opportunity and gently put forward to me: "Comrade commander, judging from the current situation, the German army will definitely not attack again today. You'd better go back to the group headquarters first."

To tell you the truth, I really want to pat my ass now, so I go directly back to the headquarters of the group army, and stay in the safe headquarters to give orders. Isn't it better than being scared here? But I can't go anywhere until I'm sure that the 90th division of the guards can hold their defense area. If I don't get it, I'll have to take a risk.

In order not to worry tavartkilaze, I explained to him, "Comrade General, I know you advised me to go back to the headquarters for the sake of my safety. But I don't want to go anywhere without seeing Colonel Chernoff's troops block the German attack. "

"But, comrade commander." Tarvaltkiraze said reluctantly, "with all due respect, your role here is not great. On the contrary, it will make Colonel Chernoff feel constrained and become cautious in directing the battle."

Tavartkilaze's words made me hesitant. I put myself in Chernoff's shoes and found that it was true. If I had been in my division headquarters when I was at mamayev post, I would have been too restrained to give full play to my ability when I was commanding the troops.

Thinking about this, I changed my mind. So I stood up and said to taraze, "Comrade General, what you said is very reasonable. In this case, I will not stay here to increase your psychological burden." As soon as I heard it, I noticed that tavartkiraze was relieved. But I didn't expose him on the spot. Instead, I explained a few words to him and prepared to leave. As soon as I got to the door, I heard the telephone on my desk ring again. I was afraid that someone was calling me, so I stopped at the door, winked at Ta kiraze and motioned him to answer the phone. Tawalter killazer ran to pick up the phone and listened for a while. Suddenly, he was furious. He patted the table and said in a loud voice, "animals, they are a bunch of animals. Lieutenant, send someone to bring the old lady to me immediately I don't understand why tawalter killazer suddenly got so angry. He hurried back into the room and asked him curiously, "Comrade General, apart from what, why did he get so angry?" Tavartkilaze was still angry. He said to me angrily, "Comrade commander, it's like this. My subordinates called to say that they had saved an old lady who had escaped from a village more than ten miles away. The old lady cried to our soldiers, saying that after the Germans came back to the village in the afternoon, they rushed all the people in the village to the sun drying field, and could not help but shoot them with machine guns. The old lady was hiding in a nearby haystack and saw with her own eyes that the whole village was killed by the Germans. " Although tavartkilaze's words were brief, I also rushed to the top of my head to pour blood. I scolded that these damned SS had been defeated by our army and had no ability to come to us to settle the accounts, but I went to slaughter those unarmed villagers. As long as I know which German army did this, I will not spare them lightly. As long as I catch them, I will shoot them on the spot, and I will never accept their surrender.
