Chapter 1948 The troops are divided into two groups
As soon as Lyudmila, Vasily and the old man returned to the sniper school, the first thing they did was to gather all the students.
As the representative of the three people, Vasily stood in front of the queue and said to many students: "Comrade students, I think everyone knows about the attempted sniper attack that happened today, right?"
"Got it!" the students below responded neatly.
"But we just learned that the sniper who came to assassinate the commander was just one of three groups sent by the Germans. In other words, they had two other groups that were sniping at our commander in other areas.
"
When the students heard this, they immediately became confused.
"No way, the sniper we captured today was actually just one of three teams sent by the Germans."
"Of course, what Teacher Vasily said personally is absolutely correct."
"Let me correct you, it was not the sniper we caught, but the old man."
"That's right, if there is no old man today, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"..."
Seeing that the students were talking a lot, Vasily quickly raised his hands, pressed them down hard, and at the same time raised his voice and said: "Quiet, fellow students, please be quiet! Please be quiet!"
After shouting several times, the students finally became quiet. Vasily continued: "In order to eliminate the two groups of German snipers, the commander divided us into two groups. One group was led by Lyudmila.
The teacher led a group to go to Chernivtsi; while the other group, the old man and I, went to Wingene."
"Teacher Vasily," a student in the crowd asked loudly, "how do you plan to distribute us?"
"On the way back from the headquarters just now, I discussed with Major Lyudmila that she would take five students to go north, while the old man and I would take four students to go south." Vasily said loudly: "In other words, we will take five students to the north."
There are nine students participating in this operation with us. I wonder who is willing to go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the students raised their hands and stared at Vasily, hoping that they could be the lucky one to follow Vasily and others.
"You see, old man." Vasily turned to the old man and said helplessly: "Although this mission is very dangerous, everyone has to fight for it. Look, how should we choose?"
"Yes, old man." Lyudmila on the side also asked the old man: "I originally thought that this operation was dangerous and no one would sign up. But now it seems that everyone wants to join this operation. You see,
How do I choose?”
"This is easy to handle." The old man had expected this situation to happen, and had already thought of a way to deal with it on the way back: "Although Liu Da is not weak, she is leading the team alone after all. If she encounters an opponent with strong strength,
Strong, it will be difficult for her to cope with it. So, let her pick the five strongest students first."
"This is a good idea." After Vasily agreed with the old man's opinion, he continued to ask: "What about us, how should we select the accompanying students?"
"The strength of the students who follow us does not matter, the main thing is to be our assistants." The old man said: "So the students who follow us to Wenger can be selected by drawing lots. It depends on which four students
Fortunately, you can follow us outside to practice."
After discussing the solution, Vasily faced the students again and said: "Comrade students, I will now announce the selection criteria. The five students who followed Major Lyudmila to Chernivtsi will be the top in the comprehensive rankings.
Five. Invite five students to come out!"
As soon as Vasily finished speaking, five students walked out of the team. They were the five best students in the sniper school. Seeing the five people coming out, Vasily nodded to them, and then said: "Students
Comrades, congratulations, you can follow Major Lyudmila outside to exercise, this is considered an internship."
Seeing that the five students who followed Lyudmila north were all the five best in the sniper school, the remaining students were thinking: Next, Vasily and the old man will definitely choose the sixth to ninth ones.
Students. Those students with lower grades have given up in their hearts and feel that no matter how they are selected, it will not be their turn.
But the next moment, Vasily's words made them cheer with joy. "Comrade students, for the four students who followed me and the old man to the south, we will change the selection method. We will no longer select based on performance, but on each individual."
luck."
He pursed his lips towards the busy old man beside him and said, "The old man is preparing paper balls, four of which have the word 'go' written on them. Whoever picks the paper ball with 'go' can become one of us."
Selection based on performance would disappoint the vast majority of students. However, using the lottery method, regardless of whether the performance is good or bad, there is a chance of winning, which naturally arouses the emotions of many students. If they are lucky enough to be selected, they will receive the prize.
In the next operation, great enthusiasm will burst out to assist Vasily and the old man in completing their mission.
Soon, the lottery was over. The students who were drawn were naturally ecstatic, while the students who were not drawn were upset. Everyone knew very well that although they followed Vasily and the old man out this time, they were basically
Assistant, but no matter what, if you follow two such excellent snipers, even if you only have a few days, the benefits you will gain will be more than studying in school for several months.
"Comrade selected students, please go back and clean up immediately," Lyudmila said to the selected students: "We will set off in an hour."
After Lyudmila finished speaking, Vasily also said: "We will set off in an hour. Please ask the selected students to go back and pack their things."
After the two sniper teams were assembled, they did not set off immediately, but went to say goodbye to Sokov.
After Sokov came out, he saw the students lining up at the entrance of the headquarters. He went up to shake hands with them one by one and chatted casually. Finally, he returned to Lyudmila, Vasily and the old man.
He said earnestly to the three people: "This operation is extremely dangerous. You must be more careful and make sure you come back alive."
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Lyudmila smiled and said to Sokov: "We can be said to be elite soldiers and strong generals, while each German sniper team only has one sniper. Who is our opponent? You
Just wait and hear our good news.”
Although Sokov believed that Lyudmila, Vasily and the old man would not be able to deal with snipers when they went out, but for the sake of safety, he still warned the three of them: "Don't underestimate the enemy just because the enemy's strength is not as strong as yours.
That would be very dangerous.”
"Comrade Commander," seeing Sokov repeatedly urging everyone, the old man said with a smile: "If you are worried, you can make adjustments. For example, I will take people to Chernivtsi, Lyuda and Va
Cili to Wenger?"
"Old man, if you could be twenty or thirty years younger, I would definitely let you be responsible for a direction alone with confidence." Sokov said with a smile: "But you are too old. If no one can help, what if?
At any rate, it’s a huge loss for us.”
"Liuda, Vasily," Sokov felt that as the superior of the three of them, he still had something to say, so he said to them with a straight face: "When you get to the place, remember to get in touch with our troops.
With the help of the army, it will be much easier for you to do things. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Comrade Commander." Lyudmila nodded and said, "After I arrive in Chernivtsi, I will establish contact with General Bogdanov and ask him to allocate manpower to assist my work."
Regarding Lyudmila's answer, Sokov nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Vasily and asked: "What about you, Vasily?"
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Vasily also expressed his position: "The old man and I will contact the two generals Kravchenko and Afunin and ask them to allocate manpower to help us complete this mission."
In order to allow both sniper teams to reach their destinations smoothly, Sokov prepared three jeeps for each of them. Not only did they arrange manpower to protect them, but even if the vehicle broke down on the road, there would be a replacement.
Watching the two sniper teams setting off in different directions, Koshkin asked Sokov curiously: "Comrade Commander, do you think they can complete the mission?"
"It goes without saying, Captain Koshkin." Sokov turned to face Koshkin and said, "With their capabilities, there is no problem at all in completing the mission."
After a pause, he asked again: "Have everything been arranged?"
"Yes, everything is arranged."
It turned out that Sokov was worried that Lyudmila and Vasily would encounter danger on the road, so he specifically asked Koshkin to prepare a guard platoon for each of the two sniper teams. An hour after the jeep set off, the truck carrying the guard platoon
, will drive north or south respectively, secretly providing cover for the sniper team.
Sokov's idea is simple. If the sniper team encounters a German sniper attack on the road, there should be no problem with their strength. As long as they can hold on and wait for the guard platoon carrying heavy weapons to arrive, that will be enough.
Destroy the enemy.
"Comrade Commander, you have really spent a lot of money." Koshkin said with a bitter face: "Each guard platoon carries two rockets and twelve new rockets. Not to mention ordinary stragglers, even if they encounter
The German company-level combat units can also achieve a crushing victory."
"What do you know?!" Sokov glared and said to Koshkin: "The three of them are treasures in our army, and their value is equivalent to a regiment. If anything happens to any of them, we will
The loss would be huge.”
Returning to the headquarters, Sameko stopped what he was doing and asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, have they all set off?"
"Yes, they are all setting off." Sokov asked casually: "Have you said hello to the troops in the north and south?"
"We've all called them." Samek nodded and said, "Although they are all excellent snipers, finding German snipers in such a vast area is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. So I gave a few
When the commander made the call, he specifically emphasized the need to fully cooperate with these two sniper teams. They needed people and equipment, all to eliminate the German snipers and ensure the safety of our commanders above the corps level.
Personal safety."
"Comrade Commander, when you just went out, Marshal Konev called." Trofimenko waited for Samyko to finish and then said to Sokov: "He specifically asked why we were cutting
Could the defense in the north of Ernovce be broken through by the Germans so easily?"
"Then how did you answer?"
"Of course I answered truthfully." Trofimenko said: "I told the marshal that the commander of the 115th Infantry Brigade who was holding on to the area was shot by a German sniper and was unfortunately shot dead. The troops lost their
Unified command cannot organize an effective defense in the face of the enemy's crazy attack, resulting in the enemy's breakthrough of the defense line."
"Yes, that's the answer." Sokov was very satisfied with Trofimenko's response. After nodding in agreement, he then asked: "After the Air Force arrived in Chernivtsi, what was the situation of our army?"
How about it?"
"The situation on the battlefield couldn't be more ideal." Samyko replied: "Seeing our fighter planes arriving on the battlefield, General Bogdanov immediately organized a counterattack. Two tank battalions covered the 115th Brigade.
The remaining troops launched a counterattack against the positions occupied by the Germans. According to the latest battle report, the 115th Brigade has restored the lost positions and is clearing out the remaining enemies."
"Well done!" Sokov asked: "Who is the commander of the brigade now?"
"Lieutenant Colonel Camaro," Samyko explained, "is the original chief of staff. He is the highest-ranking remaining commander of the brigade, so General Bogdanov appointed him acting brigade commander."
"Let's see how he performs next." Sokov said: "If he is qualified, don't be an agent and directly appoint him as the brigade commander."
"Okay, Comrade Commander." Samyko replied, "I will convey your message to General Bogdanov."
"Has the wind and snow in the south stopped?"
"Not yet," Sameko said, "but the snowstorm is showing signs of weakening. I believe it will stop completely in a few hours."
"After the blizzard stops, if there is no enemy attack, then the 18th Guards Army and the 6th Tank Army can continue to advance south." Sokov picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "I really hope they can do it sooner.
By entering Romania, we will have two groups of troops operating on other countries' soil at the same time."
When he talked about Romania, Sokov thought of Ponejelin's troops that had entered Romania. He looked up at Sameko and asked: "What is the current situation of the Ponejelin battle group? Their
Are there any traces of German troops in the defense zone?"
"No, Comrade Commander, not yet." Sameko shook his head and said: "Currently, only Romanian troops are present near their defense area. However, these troops neither want to attack them, nor are they approaching us for the time being.
, but chose a wait-and-see attitude.”
Sokov can understand the reaction of the Romanian army: "Comrade Chief of Staff, this is normal. They are waiting and watching to see whether we will defeat the Germans or we will be defeated by the Germans in the next few days.
.They will make the final choice only after waiting for the final results."
