"In fact, why not wait until tomorrow morning to reveal the answer? Comrade General, we are all looking forward to that moment, the moment when those German fascists will be completely destroyed."
"."
Malashenko can probably understand why he didn't say anything.
It may be that there are too many people to say it, it may be that there is some confidentiality order, or it may simply be that people don't want to say it so early to create a sense of mystery.
Anyway, since he didn't want to say more, there was no point in continuing to ask more questions. Malashenko was not the kind of person to ask questions out of curiosity, so he simply skipped the question and continued to speak.
"Then let us look forward to that moment. I really want to see how the Germans will be destroyed."
This brief pre-war meeting did not last long. The dialogue between Malashenko and Chuikov to communicate the combat mission was streamlined and efficient. After all, Malashenko, who had received the combat mission, still had other work to do.
The follow-up troops of the Leader's Division that were arriving in a steady stream were still waiting for him, the division commander, to take charge.
"So soon? I thought you had to stay in there for at least half an hour. What are we doing now?"
Malashenko was allowed to enter the army headquarters to meet Chuikov, but it was different when he followed Iushkin, who was familiar with the world. A small captain was not qualified to participate in such a high-level military meeting.
For the sake of Malashenko, Iushkin was led to the living room on the first floor by the very polite adjutant. He drank the hot tea that was brought to him and asked for a plate without being ashamed.
Bread is a late-night snack, and one bite of bread and one bite of tea are eaten with relish.
When Malashenko saw this guy, he had a mouth full of crumbs, not to mention the last piece of bread in his mouth. If he really wanted to leave, he wouldn't leave even a piece of bread for anyone, he would have to eat them all.
"You're here just for the sake of eating and drinking? This is such a big deal! What's the word? It's like the leader of the army usually feeds you sawdust bread. You go to the group army headquarters to eat for the first time.
Don’t you feel blushing if you eat and drink for free as soon as you arrive?”
Malashenko looked feigned anger and wanted to put a big pot sticker on Iushkin's forehead, but a certain idiot with a face thicker than the city wall didn't take it seriously at all. He ate the last bite and licked his fingers, savoring the aftertaste.
Infinity said.
"Don't tell me, the bread at the army headquarters is better than ours. They put a lot of sugar here, I can eat it. I usually like to eat sugar. I have saved all the sugar collected from the corpses of the Germans. This
The bread is so delicious. I originally wanted to bring you a piece to try, but it turned out to be so delicious that I forgot about it. It’s your fault if you didn’t eat it, I’m serious.”
"It's delicious? It's delicious, you Sukabulette!"
Snapped--
After all, Iushkin could not escape the big blow given by Malashenko. He was slapped firmly on the back of his head, but he still did not take it seriously and followed Malashenko's pace while driving.
The "Walker Happy Car" came and walked away, while continuing to talk.
"When will the fighting start tomorrow? The Army Headquarters has eaten enough bread. If I don't move my body, I won't feel at ease. I have to work for others to feel at ease."
"."
Malashenko, who had nothing to say, waited until he got into the passenger seat of the car. Iushkin also opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. When the car started to move forward, Malashenko said
Then he spoke.
"The attack time is set at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. The artillery preparation will first cover the Germans' front slope position for at least an hour. Our division's artillery will also participate in the artillery preparation. Then there will be high-intensity bombing by the long-range heavy bomber force. A whole heavy
The bombers will drop all their bombs on the heads of the Germans, and then it will be our turn to charge. The only thing those Germans can do is pray, if they are still alive at that time."
Malashenko downplayed everything, but Iushkin grasped the key points.
"A long-range heavy bomber division? They have never received this kind of support before. What equipment do they have?"
Just like Malashenko's original question, Iushkin also had the same confusion.
Of course, the final answer was still consistent with what Malashenko got at that time.
"I don't know. People are unwilling or inconvenient to say it. I can't figure it out either. I'll find out when I look up tomorrow morning."
"."
This time, Iushkin didn't say anything after the words. Looking forward to the upcoming morning was not that exciting, as long as he could kill those German thugs.
By the time Malashenko drove back to his station, not only Kulbalov, but also Comrade Political Commissar had already led the forward division headquarters to the attack starting position designated for the leader division under the Zelo Highlands.
The field division headquarters has begun to be established, radio stations and communication systems are being set up. The entire division headquarters is a busy scene. Comrade Comrade Political Commissar is directing several comrades to seize the time for construction.
"Prioritize the establishment of the communication system, especially to keep in touch with superiors, including the front army headquarters. In addition, ask about the situation of the communication company's telephone platoon and see how the laying of telephone lines to the group army headquarters is progressing. Get it done as soon as possible.
, report any new situation to me as soon as possible."
"yes!"
As soon as the communications staff officer who received the mission left, Malashenko's "Walker Happy Car" arrived. Malashenko, who had just stepped off the Willys Jeep, immediately came to the political commissar's side.
.
"How is the situation? Your body and the division."
"Everything is fine, I believe you can see that, take a look, eh?"
Malashenko, who couldn't help but laugh, saw that Comrade Political Commissar looked good and didn't say anything more. He was concerned about the situation of the troops and then continued to ask.
"How is the situation of the troops? How many are there now?"
"It went smoothly. With your urging and instructions, Kulbalov did not dare to neglect. He had been directing the troops to cross the bridge until just now. So far, nearly 70% of the troops have completed crossing the river and are arriving one after another. Of course
It is limited to combat troops, and the logistics and baggage troops are still blocked behind. The three canal bridges play a vital role. Without these bridges, I don’t know how the big guys in our division would cross the river."
70% of the combat troops have crossed the river. This is the answer given by Comrade Political Commissar.
Malashenko rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his watch and found that the hour hand had pointed to a position close to 3, which meant that after excluding the last hour of preparations before the attack and the deployment of troops, there were still more than 3 hours left for the horse.
Rashenko mobilizes troops.
Calculated based on the current efficiency, it is basically sufficient. At least it will not be a problem to deploy all combat troops planned to participate in the battle.
"Very good, let's inform Kulbalov to stop being the captain of the traffic police brigade there, and rush over with his command team, leaving the matter to the appropriate people below to handle, and then call Varosha and Lavry as well.
Come here and prepare for the meeting. All military and political commanders at the brigade level and above will participate. Important combat orders and combat missions have to be conveyed. They must arrive within half an hour!"
I found that it is really easy for me to write the wrong chapter numbers. I made the wrong mistakes again in the previous chapters. I have corrected them now.
