Chapter 1645

Although I showed full confidence in front of you, I still had a lack of confidence in my heart. We should know that the communication technology during World War II could not be compared with that of later generations. Whether my strategy can work or not depends entirely on luck.

Similarly, the commanders who stay in the same room with me obey my command on the surface, but I know in my heart that even rokosovsky doesn't believe that my plan will succeed.

Fortunately, after a phone call, the chief of staff of the 65th army reported to me in surprise: "Comrade deputy commander, just received the report from the observation post at the landing site of sirotsk, the German bombers have turned and are flying directly to vybica."

Kazakov, who was sitting next to me, widened his eyes and said in surprise, "did the Luftwaffe really fall for the bait and follow our orders to bomb their own armored forces?"

After hearing this news, my heart beat faster, but I still tried to control my mood. As long as the German Air Force bomb did not fall on the head of the German armored group, my plan was still on the verge of success or failure. Therefore, I ordered the chief of staff: "sue the observation post, let them stick to the movements of the German Air Force closely, whenever there is the latest situation, Report to me immediately. "

While the chief of staff gave orders to the observation post, I called maximenko and politely said to the veteran general, "Comrade General, I just got the information that the German Air Force bombers have been flying towards vybica. Now your task is to continue to interfere with the German radio system continuously, and at the same time try to make our bombers bomb the enemy's telephone lines, so as to completely lose contact between their superiors and subordinates. "

I put down the phone, staring at the map in a daze. "What are you thinking, Rita?" rokosovsky asked me curiously

"Comrade marshal," I looked up at him and said somewhat uneasily, "although the German radio system has been interfered by our army, from the actual situation, the enemy's regiment to battalion and battalion to company command can still be conducted by cable telephone. I'm thinking about what to do to make the German army more chaotic, so that it won't be easy to fight when they come back to their senses. "

Batov came up to me and said, "Comrade deputy commander, you are too worried. Our troops in this area are more powerful than the enemy's, and are constantly advancing to the depth of the enemy's defense. However, the enemy is unable to organize limited resistance due to the interruption of communication with the superior. The situation is very favorable to us. If this trend continues, the situation will be irreparable even if they recover. "

"General Batov, I have an idea." I pointed to the map and said to him, "we can take advantage of the superiority of our forces over the German forces to launch attacks on the right wing and in the middle of the area. The units of each unit are regiments and use walkie talkies to contact each other and launch large-scale battles in this wide area."

After listening to my arrangement, Batov did not immediately express his position, but instinctively looked at rokosovsky. The latter waved to him and said, "as I have said before, Rita is in charge of today's battle. You can carry it out as she arranges."

Seeing that Batov didn't speak, I added: "after the regiments contacted the German army, they found out the enemy's strength and reported to the division commander; If the time is not enough, the regiments can deal with it on the spot. As long as they can eliminate the enemy, they can fight whatever they want. General Batov, you immediately give my order to the infantry divisions and tank brigades. The sooner the better! "

After I finished, Batov asked with a blank face: "Comrade deputy commander, I think the army should set a time for its return. Otherwise, by the end of the battle, the army will be too scattered, which will weaken the combat effectiveness of our army."

I know that my tactics can only work in a short time. After being attacked by our army, the German army will soon wake up and organize forces to fight back. After a moment's hesitation, I said decisively, "the troops will stop attacking at six o'clock this evening and regroup in divisions."

With Batov's orders, the fighting near the landing site of cerotsk became more intense. Due to the paralysis of the German command system, the German army was in a dilemma and suffered heavy losses under the powerful attack of our army. The German air force, which was flying to vybica to bomb the armored group, dropped all the bombs and machine gun bullets after a series of indiscriminate bombing. After turning around and returning, it was intercepted by the fighter group of our air force, except for two or three bombers who escaped, The rest were shot down.

At lunch, rokosovsky said to me, "to tell you the truth, Rita, I didn't understand your command at the beginning. Generally speaking, our army will prepare for artillery fire for a long time before attacking, and then tanks will attack with infantry. You're good. After only five minutes of artillery preparation, the tanks and infantry charged. Now I finally understand that you can't do this in order to let the artillery correct the firing direction and prepare for the next step of Xujin barrage.

What surprised me most was that you used an unheard of letter tactics to paralyze the German command system with electronic jamming, and let the German Air Force bomb its own armored cluster. When I heard about your arrangement at that time, I felt that it was impossible. I didn't expect that the plan was successful. The German Air Force really solved the armored cluster that threatened our flanks in accordance with our instructions. "

Rokosovsky's praise did not make me complacent. On the contrary, it gave me a new inspiration. I quickly pushed away the plate in front of me, picked up the phone on the table and called maximenko again: "Hello, comrade general, I now order you to immediately find a way to transfer out the German armored forces in nashersk, and at the same time order the German infantry in the northwest of the landing site to retreat to nashersk..." after listening to my series of orders, Rokosovsky couldn't help looking silly. He looked at me and asked, "Rita, if the German armored forces in the city of nashersk are really transferred out, I'm afraid the situation at the landing site will become serious again."“ Don't worry, marshal. " In the face of rokosovsky's worry, I explained with a smile to him: "due to the continuous heavy rain, the road near the landing site has become muddy. No matter the enemy comes out of nasselsk or withdraws, they can only pass through road 622. When the tanks in the South and the rout troops in the North crowd together to fight for the road, it will certainly make the German army more chaotic. At that time, as long as we send air forces to bomb, we can achieve great results. " Rokosovsky is also a smart man. Listen to me, I immediately draw inferences from one instance: "I understand that you will transfer all the German tank troops who are still fighting with our army near the landing site to izbica in the southwest, just to reduce the attack pressure of our army."“ That's right, "I said positively to rokosovsky's conjecture," as long as the German armored forces completely withdraw from the battlefield, we will be more confident of winning. " The fighting continued until the evening. As our troops stopped attacking, the German troops, who were badly beaten, finally got a breathing plan. However, not only did their achievements in the past two days disappear, but also some of the original defensive areas fell into our hands in the scuffle. After reading the war report, Batov said to me excitedly, "Comrade deputy commander, our group army landed in sirotsk, which was originally established on the West Bank of the narev River, with a front width of 25 km and a depth of 10 km. After today's battle, the width of the front has been expanded to 40 km and the depth has been increased to 18 km. "“ Very good results. " Rokosovsky looked at me with a happy smile on his face: "Rita, you are good! After today's battle, we can transfer Popov's 70th army to this landing site. At present, we no longer need to consider how to defend against the German attack, but should consider how to turn this landing site into a springboard to the German mainland. " After he had said these words to me, he turned his head to Batov and said solemnly, "Comrade Batov, I remind you that you must remember this lesson. The German is a man eating beast, even if the beast is injured, it will also eat people, even more ferocious than before. Do you understand? " Regarding rokosovsky's criticism, Batov said sincerely: "marshal, I will certainly remember the painful lesson this time. As long as the Germans do not lay down their arms at last, I will always maintain a high degree of vigilance."“ We are not afraid of making mistakes. As long as we can correct them, we are still good comrades. " Rokosovsky didn't say anything about his favorite general. As soon as the front foot criticized him, the back foot began to appease him, so as not to affect the next battle“ In order to consolidate the area occupied today, you should urge the troops to repair and reinforce the fortifications overnight. As soon as Popov's 70th army enters this area, the situation will be completely favorable to our army. " Seeing that Batov understood his intention, rokosovsky nodded his head with satisfaction, raised his hand and looked at his watch. Then he said, "Comrade Batov, prepare some cars for us. I'll rush back to the headquarters overnight."“ It's getting dark. Let's go tomorrow. " Rokosovsky refused Batov's invitation and said firmly, "OK, comrade Batov, don't say any more. We've been away from Lublin for several days and it's time to go back."
