Although when the German air attack began, the commanders and fighters who were stationed on the surface of Mamayev Hills were ordered to withdraw into the tunnels. However, during such a fierce bombing, some tunnels were collapsed in some areas, giving troops
A certain amount of casualties were caused, and the health team was overcrowded for a while, with more than 20 medical staff overwhelmed.
It wasn't until after dark that no wounded were sent to the health team. Asiya, who was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, just found a corner to sit down and was about to take a breath when she suddenly heard two wounded people chatting next to her: "Hey
, have you heard about it?”
"What did you hear?" another wounded man asked.
"While the enemy plane was bombing, a bomb penetrated the soil layer more than ten meters thick and landed directly at the door of the division headquarters."
"Ah, it fell at the door of the division headquarters?" The wounded man's words were heard by the wounded not far from him. Except for the seriously wounded who were just unable to move on stretchers or hospital beds, the wounded who could move a little bit crowded around.
When they came over, everyone couldn't wait to ask: "How is the situation at the division headquarters? How is the division commander?"
Without waiting for the wounded to answer, he suddenly saw someone squeeze in from among the wounded, grabbed him with cold hands, and asked anxiously: "Comrade soldier, tell me quickly, how is the division headquarters? Has it been bombed?"
Where is your teacher? Where is your teacher now?"
The wounded man was stunned for a moment. When he saw that the person asking the question was a young female assistant military doctor, he immediately remembered that the division commander's wife worked in the health team. He quickly sat up straight and answered respectfully: "Comrade Asiya,
Please rest assured that the bomb was successfully defused by engineers and did not cause any damage to the division headquarters, and the division commander was not injured."
Asiya just heard that a bomb fell outside the door of the division headquarters, and almost killed all the people inside. She was so frightened that she acted so rude. Although she heard the wounded said personally that the bomb had been
She was successfully eliminated and everyone in the division headquarters was safe and sound, but she still felt uneasy. She felt that she still needed to go to the division headquarters and see with her own eyes that Sokov was fine before she could feel at ease.
When Asiya stumbled towards the division headquarters, in the corridor, she met Seryosha, who had just directed the soldiers to transport the bombs away. As soon as he saw Asiya, Seryosha guessed her purpose and hurriedly
He greeted her: "Asia, are you here to see Misha?"
"Yes! I'm here to see Misha." Seeing the familiar Seryosha standing in the corridor, directing the soldiers to clean up the fallen dust and cement blocks, Asiya felt a little more at ease, but she still
Nervously asked: "Seryozha, do you know where he is?"
"Where else?!" Seryozha pointed his hand towards the division headquarters and said, "Misha is naturally at his command post."
Asiya walked to Seryosha's side, looked up at the hole through which the night sky could be seen, and asked Seryosha with lingering fear: "Seryosa, is this where the German bombs fell?"
"Yes, the bomb passed through more than ten meters of soil and fell. Fortunately, it was caught by the cement layer at the top of the corridor, otherwise it would have exploded..." Seryozha did not see the situation with his own eyes. The specific situation,
He still found out from the staff of the headquarters and the engineers who disposed of the bombs. Seeing that Asya wanted to know what happened, he told the other party vividly. Although it was confirmed that Sokov was safe and sound, it was still difficult to listen to Seryosha's account of the incident.
At that time, Asia was still frightened when she heard it.
After finally waiting for Seryosha's narration to come to an end, Asya ran straight into the headquarters. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Sokov, whose military uniform was covered with dust, standing in front of the table with the door behind him, facing Xiduo.
Lin and Ivanov were talking about something. Seeing Sokov's familiar back, Asiya felt that her nose was sore and her eyes seemed to have some liquid about to flow out.
"Comrade Commander!" Just when Asiya was standing at the door, not knowing whether to enter or leave, Sidorin accidentally discovered Asiya and quickly reminded Sokov: "Asiya is here to see you."
"Asiya!" Sokov turned around, saw Asiya standing at the door, and hurriedly walked up to meet her. He walked up to Asiya, held her hand and walked to the table, while also
He smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
Asiya looked up at Sokov, tears of dissatisfaction burst out of her eyes. She said in a crying voice: "I heard from the wounded that a bomb fell at the door of the headquarters. I'm worried that something will happen to you.
Came over immediately."
"Little fool, how could something happen to me?" Sokov reached out and wiped away the tears on Asiya's cheek, and said with a smile: "Look, am I not fine?"
"Don't hide it from me," Asia raised her hand and wiped it on her face, saying dissatisfiedly: "Just now outside, Seryosha told me the whole story. The bomb was hanging at the door, how could you
Well, not only did you not move, but you also held on to the bomb. Haven't you ever thought about what I would do if you really had something wrong with you?"
"Comrade Asiya," seeing Asiya burst into tears, Sidorin quickly came out to smooth things over: "Since you already know the details, I won't repeat them again. Although the division commander's behavior was heroic, it was
It is not in line with his status. For this matter, not only the deputy division commander and I complained about him, but even the commander comrade severely criticized him."
Although Asya learned a lot about the situation from Seryosha, she did not know about Commander Chuikov’s criticism of Sokov. When Sidorin mentioned it, she suddenly became panicked: “Comrade Chief of Staff, Commander
The commander won't give Misha any punishment, right?" Her worries are justified. If she were an ordinary grassroots commander, she would definitely be praised by her superiors if she encountered this situation, but Sokov, a division commander, ignored his own
He jumped out to act like a hero and put himself in danger, without even thinking about the adverse impact it would have on the troops if something unexpected happened to him.
Sidorin naturally understood what Asiya was worried about, and quickly comforted her and said: "Don't worry, Comrade Asiya, the commander only severely criticized the division commander and did not impose any punishment on him, so you don't have to
Worried."
Asiya saw that Sokov was indeed fine and his superiors did not impose any punishment on him, so she wiped the tears from her face, chatted with him for a few words, got up and left the headquarters.
After Asiya left, Ivanov said to Sokov: "Comrade division commander, next time you encounter a similar situation, you must not be as brave as you were today. You were lucky today, the bomb did not explode; but
Who can guarantee that the bomb that falls next time will not explode on the spot? If something happens to you, not only will the army lose its unified command, but Asiya will also become a widow. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Sokov nodded vigorously, a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he said it smoothly: "Comrade Chief of Staff, Deputy Division Commander, it seems that the enemy sent bombers to carry out indiscriminate bombing on us because he realized that
Our division poses too great a threat to them, and we do this to avoid future troubles forever."
"Yes, wherever the commanders and fighters of our division are, they can cause huge casualties to the Germans. They must have hated us to the core." Sidorin guessed that Sokov must have something important to say.
After agreeing with the other party, he added: "What are you going to do?"
"Our division headquarters was almost blown up by a German bomb. If we swallow our anger and don't take some action, it will have a negative impact on the morale and morale of the troops." Sokov gritted his molars: "So we
Something must be done to teach the Germans an unforgettable lesson and let them understand that we are not so easy to bully."
"Comrade Commander," Sokov's words aroused great interest in Sidorin and Ivanov, and they both asked at the same time: "What are you going to do?"
"I plan to carry out the retaliation against the enemy in two steps." Sokov wanted to let Guchakov lead the detachment and directly take away Paulus's headquarters, but he did not know the German command.
Knowing the specific location of the headquarters at the moment, we could only give up this tempting idea and tend to a more practical revenge action: "First, let Guchakov's squad be dispatched again to attack the headquarters of all levels in the rear of the German army.
Disrupt the German command system; secondly, after the instructors and bazookas sent by superiors arrive, let the soldiers seize the time to learn how to use the bazookas. After they learn how to use them, we will sneak attack the 24th Armored Division, even if we cannot kill them
To eliminate them, we must also inflict heavy damage on them so that they will be unable to launch new attacks on the Barricade Factory and the Dzerzhinsky Factory.”
If there hadn't been the bomb that fell at the door, maybe Ivanov would have advised Sokov to act with caution. But at this moment, he was holding back his anger and wanted to immediately organize his troops to launch a counterattack and eliminate the two German troops to relieve his heart.
Therefore, he agreed with Sokov's proposal: "Chief of Staff, please immediately send a report to Captain Guchakov, inform the other party of the attack on the division headquarters, and ask him to take action as soon as possible to attack important
The German command headquarters disrupted the German offensive steps."
"Understood." Sidorin replied readily: "I will send a report to Captain Guchakov and ask them to take action as soon as possible and teach the Germans a lesson."
Just after Sidorin was about to leave, Sokov stopped him again. Sokov frowned and said to Sidorin: "Send a telegram to Lieutenant Colonel Yakov of the weapons and equipment department and ask your superiors to
When will our rocket launchers and the instructors arrive?"
While Ivanov was waiting for Sidorin to find the radio operator, he asked Sokov in a low voice: "Comrade division commander, do you think those rocket launchers given to us by our superiors can really deal with German tanks?"
"Of course, Comrade Deputy Division Commander." In response to Ivanov's question, Sokov confidently replied: "At a distance of 100 meters, rockets are a nightmare for German tanks. If we make a sneak attack at night
, only a dozen rocket launchers are needed to kill all the tanks of a German armored regiment."
Although Sokov mentioned the power of rocket launchers more than once, Ivanov was always dubious and still asked tentatively: "Is the rocket launcher really so powerful?"
Sokov didn't want to waste any more words and simply said: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, when you see the rocket launcher, you will know that what I said is true."
