Under the leadership of the sentry, the group came to a place full of low wooden houses. The sentry led them to a larger wooden house, and there were also sentries at the door. When someone approached, they immediately pulled the bolt and asked loudly: "Stop, command!"
"Nutcracker!" After answering the command, the sentry leading the way answered, he continued: "Return to the order!"
"Three sets of carriages!" The sentry at the door came over and asked, "It's not time to change the guards, why are you back?"
"It was the comrades of the Pratonov guerrillas who came," the sentry quickly explained to his companions: "I thought that the two captains were waiting for them, so I brought them over."
"Okay, I'll leave it to me." The sentry at the door waved to the other party, "You'd better go back and continue to stand guard."
"Wait," Guchakov hurriedly called him, and then said to him: "Comrade Soldiers, there are three German armored vehicles parked on the road. Those in German uniforms on the car are our soldiers. Please say hello to the soldiers on duty outside, so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." The sentry nodded after hearing this, "I will say hello to the comrades on duty nearby and don't let them get close to the armored vehicles you are riding."
Maybe someone came out of the room when he heard the movement outside. With the help of the moonlight, Pradonov saw the other person's face clearly and hurriedly met: "Hello, Comrade Vuvga, I'm very happy to see you again!"
The person who had just come out of the house heard someone calling his name. He squinted his eyes and looked for a while before he recognized the person who called him. His face also showed a happy expression: "It turned out to be Comrade Pradonov. What wind blows you?"
"Captain Guchakov," Pratonov introduced to Guchakov after a warm hug with the other party: "Vovga is the deputy captain of the Ignatov brothers guerrillas, and the captain is his elder brother Mishiga."
After finding out that the other party was the deputy captain of the guerrillas, Guchakov hurriedly smiled and stretched out his hand to the other party: "Hello, Comrade Vovga, I am Captain Guchakov from the 41st Division of the Guards."
"Hello, comrade Captain." After Vvga shook hands with Guchakov, he did not let go of his hand immediately, but pulled him into the room and said, "We thought you would answer after dawn, but we didn't expect it to come so soon."
After walking down the steps, Guchakov discovered that it turned out to be a half-buried wooden house. It occupied a small area and could be hidden well in the forest. Even if the German plane flew over the sky, it was difficult to find that there was a wooden house area here.
There was a brazier in the middle of the house. A middle-aged man in casual clothes was sitting next to the brazier to cook the fire. He heard footsteps coming, and he asked without raising his head, "Vvga, what's going on outside."
"Mihiga," said Vovga in surprise: "The commander of the regular army we are waiting for is here."
"Oh, they are here?!" Mixiga heard his younger brother saying that the person he was waiting for had arrived, so he raised his head in surprise. When he saw three people in German uniforms standing in front of him, he was stunned. But soon Pradonov was recognized by him. He got up and walked around the brazier and opened his arms to the other party: "It's you, Pradonov, we have been missing for a long time."
"Mixiga, let me introduce you," Vovga said to his brother on his own initiative: "You know Comrade Pradonov, so I won't introduce you. This is Captain Guchakov from the 41st Division of the Guards."
"Hello, comrade Captain." Mixiga seemed particularly enthusiastic when he learned that the person in front of him was the captain of the regular army: "Welcome to our Ignatov brothers guerrillas."
After everyone sat down around the brazier, Guchakov asked curiously: "Comrade Mixiga, I want to ask, you are hundreds of kilometers away from the city. How do you know that our division is defending Mamayevgang?"
"Captain," Mixiga replied with a smile on his smile: "Although our guerrilla area is far from the city, when we attack the German transport team, we can learn about the situation in the city from the prisoners. The reason why I can only station your troops in Mamayevgang is because some time ago, hundreds of wounded people lived in a German barracks not far from us. Our soldiers mixed with the recruited villagers and entered the barracks. From the mouth of a wounded soldier, they all suffered injuries in attacking Mamayevgang, and our troops who were standing in Mamayevgang were Colonel Sokov's Guards 41st Division."
Mixiga's words made Guchakov feel a little more favorable to him. With a good impression, the next cooperation will be much easier. He asked straight to the point: "Comrade Mixiga, I plan to gather the guerrilla forces behind the enemy and launch an unexpected attack on the Germans. I want to ask, how many troops can you provide?"
"Comrade Captain!" Seeing Guchakov talking about the serious matter, Mixiga put away the smile on his face and asked with a serious expression: "Can I ask, what is your offensive plan?"
Guchakov had been prepared for a long time. He took out a map from his shoulder bag, spread it, put it on his knees, pointed at one of the places, and said to Mishiga: "Comrade Mishiga, look, this is Nadzeda, between the 113th Infantry Division of the German Army and the 60th Motorcycle Division, five kilometers north of it, the 564th Kortuban Station; some north of it; there is also Connaya Station to the east, which is located in the defense area of ​​the 60th Motorcycle Division."
After listening to Guchakov's introduction, Mixiga looked carefully at the map, then nodded and said, "Yes, comrade Captain, you are right. But what I want to figure out is, where are you planning to attack?"
"The Germans like to stock up on stations, so I plan to concentrate my strength to attack these stations." Guchakov gently patted the map with his hand, "Connaya Station is located in the defense area of ​​the 60th Motorized Division. If it is attacked, the German mechanized troops can come to reinforce in the shortest time, which will cause our offensive troops to be attacked from both sides.
The 564-kilometer station and Kotluban Station are located at the junction of the defense zones of the German divisions. After we attacked the station, even if the German army wanted to send troops to reinforce, the two divisions would probably have a lot of trouble and discuss who would send troops to reinforce, so that our offensive troops would have enough time to destroy the materials hoarded by the enemy at the station."
After Guchakov finished talking about his combat plan, Mixiga did not immediately express his opinion, but looked up at his brother and asked, "Vvga, what do you think of the captain's plan?"
"Our camp is less than five kilometers away from the 564th kilometer station, and the troops only need less than two hours to reach the offensive position." Vovga first briefly talked about the distance between the camp and the station, and then frowned and said, "But according to our reconnaissance, the enemy has heavy troops at these stations. If there is no cooperation from the regular army, no support from artillery fire and tanks, it is unrealistic to rely on our guerrillas to seize these stations."
"Yes, Vovga, you're right." Mixiga agreed with his brother's speech and said to Guchakov: "Captain, you should understand that the usual actions of the guerrillas are nothing more than attacking the German traffic lines, destroying their communication lines, killing those left behind German soldiers, etc. If you want to gather them together and carry out such a large-scale attack, I don't think it's not only difficult to achieve the ideal effect, but also possible to destroy the entire army."
As soon as Mishiga finished speaking, Vovga spoke again. This time he said to Pradonov: "Captain Pradonov, you should know the Valenkov guerrillas, right?"
"Yes, I know." Pradonov nodded and replied, "If I remember correctly, their camp is about ten kilometers west of you."
"Last week," Vovga said with a heavy expression: "They launched an attack on the German troops stationed on the state-owned farm. Because the Germans had the advantage of military strength and equipment, they not only blocked their attack, but also surrounded the guerrillas in the shortest time."
When Pradonov heard this, his face showed a shocked expression. He quickly interrupted and asked, "Vvga, how did they happen later? How many of them have stood out?"
"Breakthrough?! Unfortunately, although they tried to break through, they failed." Vovga shook his head and said, "All 120 guerrillas died heroically, and none of them survived. Moreover, in order to retaliate, the Germans sent SS to clean up three villages near the state-owned farm, killing all 500 people, including men, women, young and old. They also hanged several captured guerrilla wounded men in the threshing grounds of one of the villages."
The incident mentioned by Vovga made Guchakov realize that the other party was concerned about his combat plan. The reason for this matter was that he was worried that once the attack failed, not only the guerrillas participating in the attack would be destroyed, but also the innocent residents around him would be affected.
The atmosphere inside the house suddenly became dull.
After a while, Pradonov spoke and broke the silence in the house. He said to Guchakov: "Comrade Commander, your subordinates are still sitting in the armored vehicles on the side of the road. It may be frozen in such a cold day. Let them go to the camp to roast the fire and warm it up."
"Comrade Captain, you have your subordinates outside, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Mixiga heard that Guchakov and his subordinates were in the car on the side of the road, and quickly said enthusiastically: "Hurry and send someone to invite them. The night in the forest is very cold, don't let them freeze." As he said that, he turned his head and looked at his brother, "Vvga, go out to greet them."
Seeing Vovga agreeing to stand up, Guchakov was worried that he would go alone and would have misunderstandings with the soldiers in the car. He quickly said to Tolbu, who was sitting not far away, "Torbu, go with Comrade Vovga, so as not to shoot the soldiers in the car when they see strangers approaching."
After Vovga left with Tolb, only Guchakov, Mishiga and Pradonov were left in the room. Guchakov knew very well that if Mishiga could not be convinced, then gathering guerrillas to attack the enemy's station would be a dream. After reorganizing the words in his mind, he spoke: "Comrade Mishiga, do you think you have no chance of winning by using guerrillas with no combat power to attack the tough guys?"
"You are right, comrade Captain." Mixiga did not deny Guchakov's speculation. Anyway, there were no outsiders in the house, so he expressed his concerns with confidence: "With our current strength, to attack the station guarded by the German army is simply to die. I think every guerrilla soldier to sacrifice his life in order to protect the motherland. However, such an attack will not only allow all guerrillas to die, but will even implicate the villagers in nearby villages. Do you think it is really necessary?"
"Don't worry, Comrade Mixiga, I won't let your troops die." After confirming that his guess was correct, Guchakov began to give Mixiga a reassurance: "The team I commanded has a secret weapon that can attack the enemy at a long distance. Two days ago, we used this weapon to destroy a field airport of the German army and eliminate all the aircraft in the airport."
"What?!" Mixiga heard this and stood up suddenly, looking at Guchakov and asked in surprise: "The German field airport was destroyed two days ago. Did you lead the troops to do it?" After receiving the other party's affirmative answer, he shook his head and said with an incredible expression, "We have considered attacking this airport, but because the Germans are too tight in defense, our people cannot get close to it at all. Who knows that you killed it quietly, which is simply incredible."
"The new weapons we carry can attack enemy warehouses, military camps and important facilities a few kilometers away." Guchakov said openly to Mishiga: "But because the number of weapons we carry is limited, if the enemy stockpiled not ammunition, it is not easy to destroy them all..."
As Guchakov said this, Mixiga finally understood what the other party meant: "Captain, what do you mean is like attacking the enemy's station with new weapons, and taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, the guerrillas rushed in and completely destroy the supplies stored in the station?"
"Yes, that's how I thought about it." Guchakov thought for a moment and added: "It's not necessarily necessary to destroy all the supplies. If you see something suitable for you, you can move it back to your camp."
