Burning Moscow

Although the observation posts of Gaidar and the second regiment on the top of the mountain reported that the troops approaching Mamayev Hill were both wearing our uniforms and some wearing German uniforms, Kirilov still couldn't believe them. What I heard is true. After all, to instigate an army in such a short period of time, and bring all the prisoners of war across the enemy's blockade, it is simply incredible.

But half an hour later, the mystery was revealed, and Savchenko called us from the command post of the Fourth Regiment. Although I knew that Savchenko had done a great job, I was still a little angry when I heard his voice. I asked in a reproachful tone: "Comrade Savchenko, after you go to see Captain Nikolai, why? Stopped contacting us?"

Although I can’t see Savchenko’s face, I can guess that he smiled bitterly after hearing this question. He only heard him say: "Report to the teacher, comrade, our communication equipment has a problem, so I can’t talk to the division anymore. Make contact."

"Since you have persuaded Captain Nikolai to lead his troops to surrender, why don't you use their wireless communications to contact us?" Without hearing Savchenko's convincing explanation, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I went on Asked: "Last time you and Captain Karpov led a team to break through, didn't you also use the communication equipment he was assigned to contact us?"

"Comrade Commander, you don't know." Savchenko heard that I was blaming him for this matter, and quickly explained to me: "Since Captain Karpov and the others, the Germans have tried to prevent Dongfang Camp from using radio When the communication equipment got in touch with our army, all the radio communication equipment of the Dongfang Battalion was confiscated. The usual contact is through wired telephone or sending a messenger."

Savchenko said so. It does make it clear why they lost contact with us. I then asked, "Let's talk about it. How do you convince Captain Nicholas to surrender to our army?"

Hearing my question, he smiled and said: "Actually, I didn't say anything at all. After meeting with Captain Nikolai, he straightforwardly asked about the whereabouts of Captain Karpov. I told him that Karpov After the captain led the troops, he is currently serving as the deputy commander of the second battalion of the first regiment, and we have implemented all the three conditions he put forward before anyway. Listen to my words. He Apart from anything else, the adjutant immediately called several company commanders under his command to discuss the matter of leading the troops anyway.

Having said that, I have to say that Captain Nikolai’s work efficiency is really very high. In less than half an hour, he assigned the work to the three company commanders, and went to solve the officers and soldiers of the German inspection team. The second company The third company went to release the commanders and fighters detained in the prisoner-of-war camp, while the tank company activated only three tanks as the assault vanguard of the entire force to attack the forward positions stationed by the Germans. When releasing prisoners of war. In order to prevent misunderstandings, I specially sent a few soldiers to assist them.

I thought there would be a fierce battle when breaking through. Unexpectedly, the tank company rushed up and fired a few shots. The soldiers behind them rushed up with their guns, and the enemy's defenses suddenly fell apart. When I rushed into the position with some people, I found that there were only dozens of Italian soldiers inside. No wonder there was no fighting capacity. "

After knowing the general situation, I asked myself the question I am most concerned about: "How many troops are there in the four regiment positions?"

"We haven't had time to count, there are at least two thousand people, and there are three tanks, a dozen trucks, and a batch of seized military materials including weapons and ammunition."

I heard that a batch of weapons and ammunition had been seized, and my mood improved, and I quickly told him: "The troops you brought over first, whether it is Captain Nikolai’s subordinates or the comrades rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp, Send to the three regiment defense zone of the residential area, I will inform Major Godunov to come and receive them. After all this is done, you will accompany Captain Nikolai and his company commanders to my division. Come to the headquarters."

"Understood!" Savchenko agreed loudly.

After putting down the phone, I didn’t have time to tell Kirilov and the others the details, so I ordered Akhromeyev: "The chief of staff, immediately call the third regiment commander Godunov and say Savchenko Comrades will soon bring more than two thousand people into his defense zone and let him personally be responsible for arranging the accommodation for these people."

As soon as I turned around, I saw Kirilov and Bantai Lev standing behind me, with an expression of eagerness to understand the specific situation, and quickly raised his hand to stop what they wanted to say, and said first: "Political commissar, deputy commander. Comrade, Savchenko will bring Captain Nikolai here soon. If you have any questions, you can ask them face to face."

"Then what are you going to do now?" Kirilov looked at me in a hurry and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I want to report this to Commander Trikov immediately," said this, I lowered my voice and said to Kirilov: "Since Captain Nikolai's troops have been taken care of anyway, by the way, more than a thousand have been rescued. Two thousand captured commanders and fighters, this matter is reported at this moment, and it is estimated that they will not be blamed by their superiors."

He raised his leg and was about to walk towards the walkie-talkie. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Basmanov standing at the door. He beckoned to call me over and told him, "Captain, you go and call Comrade Karpov here immediately. , Maybe someone wants to see him later."

Basmanov asked without thinking, "Who wants to see him?"

I didn't answer his question. Instead, I stared and grunted heavily in my nose, and I was so scared that Basmanov turned and ran out of the headquarters to look for Karpov outside.

Due to the fierce fighting situation, the communication system of the group army headquarters has not completely returned to normal until now. Razumeyeva shouted for a long time before finally contacting Krylov. Hearing my voice, Krylov was stunned for a moment, and then asked strangely: "Comrade Oshanina, you call the headquarters, what's the matter?"

When I heard him asking this, I immediately understood that he had misunderstood that I wanted to inquire about Yeleimenko's whereabouts, and quickly explained: "Report to Comrade Chief of Staff. I have important things to report to Commander Cuikov. Is he there?"

"He accompanied General Yelemenko to inspect outside." It may be because Krylov and Yelemenko came to Stalingrad together and had good personal relations with each other. He did not call Yelemenko. The position is directly called by his name, "However, Comrade Military Commissioner is also in the headquarters. If you have anything, you can tell me or the Military Commissioner. When the commander comes back, we will tell him."

"That's it, Comrade Chief of Staff." Since Cuikov is not there, it makes no difference whether it is reported to Krylov or Gurov. So I reported to him in detail and sent Savchenko to lead the team. Reconnaissance behind enemy lines, under the circumstances of different circumstances, instigated another Eastern Battalion and rescued more than one thousand and nearly two thousand captured commanders from the newly-built German prisoner-of-war camp. At present, the unit has broken through the enemy’s line of defense and successfully Entered the defensive zone of our division.

After Krylov listened, he didn't immediately express his opinion. After a while, he said in a humiliating voice: "Comrade Oshanina, wait a minute, Comrade Military Commissioner wants to talk to you."

As soon as his voice fell, Gurov’s familiar voice came from the earphones: "Hello, Comrade Oshanina? I’m Gurov. What you just reported to Comrade Krylov. I heard it. I congratulate you and your subordinates for the achievements!"

Hearing that Gurov didn’t blame us for making the claims, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, held my breath, and continued to listen to what Gurov said later: "It seems that you instigated Karpov’s Eastern Camp anyway. This step is really right. With the two examples of Karpov and Nikolai, I believe that in the coming days, more and more officers and soldiers of the Eastern Battalion will wake up and break away from the Germans. The reign of the army returns to the battle sequence of our army. I already know about this matter. When Comrade Cui Kefu returns, I will definitely tell him this matter."

After seeing me put down the headset and the microphone, Kirilov and Bantai Lev immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously: "What did Comrade Military Commissioner say about this matter?"

"Comrade Military Commissioner praised us for doing well." As I said, I looked towards the door and saw Karpov had been called in by Basmanov, and he was standing erect at the door. I waved to him quickly and shouted, "Captain Karpov, don't stand at the door stupidly. Come to me."

Karpov heard my call and walked up to me blankly. He opened his mouth a few times, as if he wanted to ask something ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but in the end he didn't ask. I saw his embarrassment, smiled silently, and said straight to him: "Comrade Captain, I have something to tell you. Comrade Savchenko just instigated an Eastern Battalion unit a few hours ago. , And rescued one or two thousand captured commanders. In a while, the captain of the Eastern Battalion will come to the division headquarters. Because he was listening to Savchenko talking about you, he did not hesitate Just lead the troops anyway. I guess he will definitely ask to see you when he comes, so I asked Captain Basmanov to call you over."

"I don't know the name of the commander of the Eastern Battalion?" Karpov asked cautiously.

"Nicholas, Captain Nicholas, is a Ukrainian." After I told the information I knew, I asked, "Comrade Karpov, do you know him?"

Karpov frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head vigorously, and replied, "I don't know, among the people I know, there is no one named Nikolai." (To be continued...)
