Chapter 1672

New year's day, 1945, is the new year offensive, "Rita, look, it's a German prisoner." Seeing that two German prisoners appeared here, trakov said to me with a smile: "it must be grazunov who is going to interrogate these prisoners and figure out the enemy's deployment."

Among the soldiers escorting the prisoners, a sergeant saw that several generals appeared here at the same time and were walking towards the headquarters. He quickly asked the prisoners to stop and asked us to go in first.

As soon as I walked into the headquarters, I heard general grazunov asking in a loud voice, "has the interpreter come yet? There are also prisoners who have been taken over. Why haven't I seen them so far? "

"Don't worry, general grazunov. They'll be here in a minute." "You don't mind if we're around to see how you interrogate the captives," trikov said with a smile to his commander

"Hello, comrade commander, on behalf of all the commanders and fighters of the Fourth Army of the guards, I welcome you." After saying these words, grazunov suddenly found that I was still standing next to trakov. He quickly saluted me and said with a slight apology, "sorry, comrade deputy commander of the front army, I didn't see you just now."

I reached out and shook grazunov. I said generously, "general grazunov, it's all small things. You don't have to worry about it. The German prisoners are coming in. Are you ready for interrogation? "

When two German officers entered the headquarters, I found that they were both in the rank of lieutenant colonel. When I was curious about their positions in the 45th division, I heard grazunov asking aloud, "your name and rank!"

The interpreter standing next to the prisoner quickly translated grazunov's words to the two officers. When the two officers reported their names, ranks and positions, we were surprised to know that one of the young commanders was actually a member of the German general staff. He was a liaison officer assigned to the 45th division, and as soon as the troops surrendered, he became a prisoner.

After learning the identities of the two officers, trakov grabbed in front of grazunov and said to the translator, "Comrade translator, tell them that I am trakov, commander of the 8th group army of the guards. I want to hear their opinions on the current situation! "

After listening to trekov's question, commander Heisenberg of the general staff immediately replied unequivocally, "Mr. general, please forgive me. Your attack will bring down Germany completely." As he said this, he gave me a quick glance, probably wondering why the officer sitting in the middle was a woman.

"Mr. commander," Pronin corrected him as soon as the other side finished saying, "you are wrong. Our attack will not bring down Germany completely. It will only bring down Hitler and communism."

After listening to the translation, the two German officers replied with one voice: "anyway, it's all the same thing, sir. We have been defeated."

Seeing that the two officers showed such cooperation, I turned to trakov and said, "general trakov, I think these two German officers are a little tired and hungry. Otherwise, we can get them something to eat and drink. What do you think?"

Trekov nodded at my proposal and then ordered a staff officer to carry out my order. A few minutes later, two soldiers came in with a wooden table and placed it in front of the prisoner.

Just as the German officers were surprised at the wooden table suddenly placed in front of them, the soldiers behind placed hot tea, biscuits, bread slices and sliced sausage on the table in turn.

"All right, gentlemen." Seeing all the food and drink on the table, trikov pointed to the food with his hand: "we are not interrogating you, but chatting. We want to know more about what we are interested in from you. If you don't say it, we won't force it. Tea and food, please

After listening to the translation, he immediately picked up a biscuit on the table and took a bite. Then he took another cup of tea and sipped it gently. Another commander saw this, quickly grabbed the bread from the plate, quickly put it into his mouth, and ate it.

Commander Heisenberg put the cup on the table, looked at me and asked. Although he spoke very fast, I heard his name from his pronunciation. In order to find out what happened, I quickly turned my face to the position of the translator, hoping to find out what the other side was asking through him.

"Comrade General," the translator said respectfully to me, "the German lieutenant commander asked you, is it general oshanina?"

After listening, I nodded and gave the translator a positive answer. Two German commanders stood up and saluted me at the same time. Commander Heisenberg, in particular, made another fuss.

The translator said to me with a smile: "Comrade General, this German lieutenant commander said that he once heard the greatest German commander, Manstein, mention you, saying that you are one of the toughest opponents he has ever met. If you were the one who fought with him in Kharkov at the beginning of 1993, we might have been driven out of Ukraine by you. "

Although I was flattered by Manstein's comments on me, I still knew that under the conditions of logistic supply at that time, let alone my two swords, even if Zhukov or rokosovsky went out, he would still be defeated by Manstein.

We talked with the German prisoners over tea and bread. At the moment, they were no longer worried that the Gestapo would eavesdrop on their conversation, and each of them spoke frankly. Heisenberg said that many German generals and officers no longer believed that Germany could win the war after the defeat of the German army in Volga River and then in Kursk. Hitler and Goebbels were responsible for this because they did not try to get in touch with the Soviet government in order to make peace with the Soviet Union under any conditions.

Hearing this, trikov couldn't help interrupting: "Mr. commander, I want to ask you, why do you think that the people of all ethnic groups in the Soviet Union will have peace talks with you after they were devastated by Hitler's gangs and suffered countless hardships?"

After a moment's silence, Heisenberg said, "Mr. general, I think not only the Germans but also the Russians need peace. Besides, your allies are unreliable. When the war is over, they may become your enemies. But we Germans can reach an agreement with you and become reliable neighbors. We can also become allies against your current allies

After listening to Heisenberg's words, I couldn't help but think of shaking hands with him and asking him, "man, are you crossing, too? Otherwise, how can we see the post-war situation so clearly? Britain and the United States really became the enemy of the Soviet Union after the war, while East Germany became the "bridgehead" of the West on the other side. "

But trakov obviously didn't realize this, and he also talked to Heisenberg bluntly: "Mr. commander, I come to ask you, since you say Germany is our best ally, why did you tear up the non aggression treaty in 1941 and launch an attack on our peace loving country, which does not threaten any neighboring country?"

Heisenberg was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "the rise of the Soviet countries has aroused our fear that you will attack us first. According to the information obtained by the intelligence department, you will launch the "lightning operation" against Germany on June 29, 1941. In order to prevent your aggression, Hitler decided to take the initiative and launch the "Barbarossa plan" one week ahead of schedule. Unexpectedly, it made a big mistake. To our surprise, the Soviet state was so powerful that our general staff and Hitler had miscalculated. "

I have heard about the Soviet Union's "Blitzkrieg" plan to attack Germany in later generations. The reason why the credibility of this statement is particularly high is that after the outbreak of the war, the commanders in the border areas opened the secret documents of the National Defense Commission and saw that the order in them was to let the troops attack the German army. Maybe it is because of this that the false "lightning action" will become more and more true.

After the soldiers took two German prisoners, trakov said to us, "we can draw a conclusion from the conversation just now that Hitler's officers have made a correct judgment of the current situation. They have seen the inevitable failure on the battlefield and tried to find a way out by concluding a peace treaty."

With these words, trikov raised his hand, looked at his watch, and then asked me, "Rita, while it's still a few hours dark, shall we go to the 28th army of the guards?"

When I thought that the commander of the 28th army of Jinwei was the former commander of the 39th division of Jinwei, lieutenant general Ralph, I wanted to say hello to this acquaintance, so I agreed to the proposal of trakov, said goodbye to grazunov, and then drove to bialov brzeki to learn about the fighting situation of the army on the right wing of the group army.

However, it is a pity that when we arrived at the army headquarters, we did not see lieutenant general Ralph, only his chief of staff, Colonel mamchin.

With regret, trakov asked mamchin, "Comrade Colonel, report to me the progress of your army."

"Comrade report commander," mamchin reported to trikov, "the development of our army's offensive in the area where our army has long belonged is very smooth. So far, the 79th and 88th divisions of the close guard infantry have advanced to pushbeshev, ledrin and koruhov areas. The commander of the army rushed to the location of the 88th Jinwei division an hour ago. "

According to what I know about trakov, his next step must be to go to the location of the 88th division of the guards immediately to learn about the latest combat progress. I was worried that Zhukov could not know the progress of the 8th group army in time, so I stopped trakov, who was preparing to leave, and reminded him, "general trakov, I think you should first report the results of today's battle to Marshal Zhukov, so that he can have a clear idea."

"That's right, that's right, Rita. It's a timely reminder." "I'm so happy today that I forget such an important thing," he said with a smile After that, he told chief of staff mamchin, "Comrade Colonel, get through to the headquarters of the front army immediately. I want to speak to Marshal Zhukov."

Zhukov, after listening to trakov's report, praised him and asked me to answer the phone. I took the microphone and heard Zhukov ask me, "Rita, what's up? Are you still used to frontier life? If you don't feel used to it, you can always come back to the headquarters of the front army. "

Although the front line is more dangerous than the rear line, for me, Zhukov, such a strong boss, can only play a role of soy sauce when he stays in the headquarters all day, so he is more free to stay in the front line. Therefore, I answered decisively: "marshal, I think everything is good in the front line. I'll go back when you need my help one day. " With these words, I was afraid that because of Zhukov's bad contact, I would quickly change the topic and ask, "are the two army groups that launched the attack on the PWV landing site going well?"

"The troops of the 69th army went very well, and there was little decent resistance from the German army." Zhukov replied: "however, the 33rd group army encountered a counterattack from a German heavy armored battalion in the kelze area, which had 90 tanks, almost all of which were tiger or tiger king tanks. As soon as the two sides contacted, one of our armored brigades was defeated by the enemy. The old-fashioned T-34 tank had no way to take the enemy's tiger style. " When I heard Zhukov say this, I was so surprised that I asked, "what happened later? Have our troops repulsed the German heavy armored battalion? "“ When I got the news, I immediately transferred a new tank and a modified t-3485 tank to meet the heavy armored battalion. " "As a result, our army won a complete victory, turning 90 enemy tanks into scrap iron," he said When I heard this, I said in my heart that if we were still mass-produced t-5455, a new type of tank that transcended the times, as long as there were 30, we would be able to beat the German Tiger tanks all over the ground, and the army's attack would not be lost. Trikov waited patiently for me to finish the call, and then said to me, "Rita, before it's dark, let's go to the area where the 88th division of the guards is and meet commander Ralph."
