Unlike Yang Mingzhi, Yevlov is always optimistic about the future war. His attitude is always simple, that is, as long as his superiors issue orders, he will execute them decisively. It is too nerve-wracking to figure out what orders his superiors may issue!
Not only in this aspect, he was very different from Yang Mingzhi. Moreover, he was not alone at night.
Because of Salinchkin's acquiescence, his special relationship with Yelentina gradually became clear. In any case, Yelentina is also a young woman in her twenties, and her status as a grassroots member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has long been in the past.
In this way, the divisional political commissar of the 284th Guards Division is his position.
This woman is strong and even cold, clinging to the man's side, she is no different from an ordinary woman.
The messenger hurried to the officers' quarters and breathlessly informed the deputy commander's guard on guard of the commander-in-chief's order.
Because it was an order from their superiors, the guards no longer worried about anything and just started knocking on the wooden door.
Yevlov suddenly woke up, and with a strong anger, he shouted: "What's going on? Has something happened?!"
"Yes! Comrade Deputy Commander! It's the order from Comrade Commander! We have received an emergency telegram from our superiors!"
At night, the guards' roars were particularly loud. Yevlov's mind was still a little confused, but the woman next to him sat up quickly.
The job of political commissar has always been difficult. Currently, Yelentina has to go to the two newly formed independent regiments to provide guidance on ideological work, even when it rains.
When the busy work was over, she did not hesitate to relax in a woman's unique way, which she had been doing for the past few nights. She was relaxed, and Yevlov was getting tired.
After hearing the roar of the guards, Yelentina instantly realized that the situation was urgent. After responding with "I understand," she not only regained her coolness, but also spoke emphatically with an order: "Comrade Yevlov! It seems that the superiors
We are being ordered to fight! This is an emergency order from Berekov, you must get up immediately!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped out of bed.
Her beauty was mesmerizing, and Yevlov just stared at it.
Yelentina quickly changed into her military uniform, but saw that the man was still dawdling. She acted decisively, fiercely lifted the blanket on the bed, and scolded: "Stop dawdling! You are like a pig!"
It wasn't until the cold hit him that he shivered, and Yevlov came back to his senses.
…
The three officers of the paratrooper brigade moved much faster than these two. Tepunov and his two buddies were the first to arrive at the headquarters.
Then came Lavrenti Yevgeny, Medvedev and Peronsky.
All officers stationed at the Blacksmith Village and at the regimental level were present.
Yevlov and Yelentina were the slowest.
Yang Mingzhi glanced at the sleepy Yevlov who had arrived late, and had no intention of thinking about what he had experienced before.
Seeing that all the main officers had expired, he slammed the table three times to cheer everyone up.
Then he said sharply: "Comrades! It's three o'clock in the morning! Because of important things, you must gather now! Just an hour ago, the superiors finally issued the combat order!"
When hearing the word "fight", no matter how sleepy you are, it's like you've drunk strong coffee.
Real soldiers are particularly belligerent when faced with new battles. Yevlov changed his sluggish expression. He slapped his thigh impulsively, stood up, and asked loudly: "Finally? We are going to fight Kiev? This
A glorious mission, they finally entrusted it to us! Berekov, your prediction has come true!"
After Yevlov's misdirection, the officers present believed that this was an order from the Front Army Headquarters to harass Kiev. After all, after the battle in early May, after discussion at the conference, it was decided that the Southwest Front Army planned a large-scale campaign.
After settling down, the 63rd Army was most likely to be ordered to attack Kiev.
As a result, the army's strategy was also adjusted after the conference. Not only did the army attack and miraculously develop "ultra-long-range" rocket launchers, but they also cut down a large amount of wood to make rafts. These actions were all for the final attack on Kiev.
Purpose.
The headquarters was suddenly in chaos. Yang Mingzhi had a sullen face, clenched his fists and knocked on the table three times.
"Comrades! You are all wrong! Our superiors did not order us to attack Kiev?"
The excited Yevlov was shocked: "What? Not Kiev!"
"of course not!"
"Not Kiev? That's Chernihiv, we..."
Yang Mingzhi quickly interrupted: "As for the order, it's not Chernigov!"
Yevlov suddenly panicked, and he wondered: "Where is it? No way, our marshal ordered us to attack north! If the order is like this, I have nothing to say."
"Alas!" Yang Mingzhi sighed deeply. To be honest, he didn't like the content of the order in the telegram.
But as the commander of a group army, how can he disobey orders? The most he can do is to add fuel to the fire and achieve some additional results on the basis of completing the combat mission.
Yang Mingzhi composed himself and began to read out the telegram in his hand.
This short command was read out quickly, and Yang Mingzhi had already guessed the result.
The other officers were muttering in their hearts and kept silent. Only Yevlov asked incomprehensibly: "This is simply unbelievable! This is an order from the guerrilla movement headquarters! Haven't we been waiting for orders from the Southwest Front Army Headquarters?
Who do we listen to? Ponomarenko? Or Timoshenko?"
His questioning made Fuming very dissatisfied.
Fomin looked decent, and he said in a respectful and serious tone: "Comrade Yevlov! Please note that Comrade Ponomarenko and Comrade Timoshenko are our superiors! Currently, the 63rd Army
Legally, we belong to the Internal Guard, and our leader temporarily handed over our command to the Southwest Front. The first secretary of the Guerrilla Republic is Comrade Ponomarenko. He is also the head of the guerrilla movement headquarters, and he has the power to issue orders directly to us.
!Obviously, the superiors have made coordination, and Ponomarenko’s order is the final order!”
This explanation was a bit lengthy, and Yevlov didn't understand it.
Yang Mingzhi applauded with satisfaction: "Comrade Fuming, your analysis is very good! I still have the empty title of Minister of Defense of the Guerrilla Republic. According to the law, I also need to obey Comrade Ponomarenko's orders. We,
Must obey!"
These words made Fuming and Jelentina feel extremely comfortable.
At present, the power of political workers in the army has been greatly deprived, and they are unwilling to do so. Because Yevlov once had a quarrel with Fomin, which made Yang Mingzhi worried about the possibility of internal discord, so he had to help Fomin speak out.
, not to mention that Fuming’s current argument is really well-founded.
