In order to prevent exposure, I did not send troops to attack the German camp again, and I learned that Basmanov's convoy had safely returned to our army's defense area, so I slept soundly. Chapters are updated the fastest

Nothing was said all night.

As soon as it was dawn, I heard someone knocking on the door, and then I heard Shura's voice sleeping outside: "Comrade Division Commander, Comrade Division Commander, are you up?" ”

I quickly rolled over and got out of bed, walked over and opened the door, and asked Shura, who was standing at the door, "Shura, is there something wrong?" ”

Perhaps Shura did not expect me to open the door silently, and was taken aback, she took a step back and steadied herself and reported to me: "Comrade division commander, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg is outside. ”

I asked as I dressed, "How long has he been here?" ”

"It's about half an hour."

"Then why don't you wake me up right away?" Hearing that Oleg had been here for so long, I couldn't help but reproach Shura.

"Originally, I wanted to call you, but Lieutenant Colonel Oleg said to let you sleep more, so it has been delayed until now."

I nodded and instructed her: "Shura, go and invite Lieutenant Colonel Oleg in." ”

By the time Lieutenant Colonel Oleg came in, I had already sat down in my place, looked up at him, and asked with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Oleg, is there anything you have come to me so early?" ”

Oleg sat down on the chair opposite me and said with some hesitation: "Comrade division commander, you should have guessed my intention, right?" ”

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help frowning slightly and asked, "What do you want to say." Did I allow those German prisoners? Going with Captain Gramms to meet the German troops? ”

Oleg nodded vigorously. Said affirmatively: "Yes, comrade division commander, this is what I want to talk about. You must know that two German soldiers had already escaped yesterday while on duty, and if we had asked the rest of the men to meet the German troops today, if anyone took advantage of our unpreparedness and ran out and shouted a few voices, we would have been completely exposed. ”

What Oleg said is what I am worried about. Let the German prisoners who had just been released. Following Captain Grams outside the station to greet the newly arrived German troops inevitably made the prisoners fantasize, and it was not even ruled out that the brave ones rushed directly to warn the new Germans. Although it was extremely risky, in the present situation, this risk had to be taken again, and in order to stabilize Oleg's feelings, I patiently explained to him: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, don't I know the risks of doing this? If even one German prisoner yelled at the new German company, we would be all exposed. But don't let them go to greet them. Obviously unrealistic as well. You know, the newcomers to the Germans. Perhaps they were quite familiar with Grams's company, but if they were in the greeting procession, there were no other acquaintances except Grams, and the officers and men on duty at the station were all unfamiliar faces, they would not be suspicious at that time, and thus our camouflage would be completely exposed. ”

When I said this, I saw that Oleg still had a sullen expression, and then said: "Although it is risky to do this, we have also taken necessary precautions." For example, when welcoming the new troops, the German prisoners lined up in the square were carrying empty guns without bullets; Secondly, we can have several times as many manpower around these captives, so that even if they want to make small moves, they can stop them at the first time. The most important point is that the troops hidden on the second floor of the waiting hall are our last cards, and once they are exposed, they will open fire decisively, and cooperate with the troops in the square to eliminate all the new German soldiers. ”

Hearing me talk about preparing to strike a thunderous blow to those Germans at a critical moment, Oleg's eyes lit up, and his face showed joy, and he asked in surprise: "Comrade division commander, are you ready to completely deal with this new German company?" ”

"Yes, if not resolved, they will always be a scourge for us. However, we have to think carefully about how to solve the problem, and it is better not to shoot if we can not shoot, because we will continue to hold out in this station for a while. Premature exposure is not a good thing for us. ”

Oleg hurriedly stood up and offered me to fight: "Let me command the troops in ambush on the second floor, I promise you, as long as you open fire, I will definitely not let a single German escape." ”

I waved my hand at him and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Oleg, the troops on the second floor are under the command of me and Commissar Vylore. And your task, together with Second Lieutenant Mihayev, will follow Grams to meet the Germans. Remember that you have to stay on his side for a moment, and if he does something wrong," I hesitated for a moment, then ordered in an accentuated tone, "and kill him without hesitation." ”

"Yes!" Oleg agreed loudly, and then asked me respectfully: "Comrade division commander, can I go back?" There is still some preparatory work that has not been done. ”

"Then what are you still standing here, why don't you go quickly!" I waved at him and threw him out of command.

After I washed up briefly, I didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and left the command to find Velore. Unexpectedly, he didn't go far before he met Captain Grams and Second Lieutenant Grettka.

When I saw the two of them coming together, I knew that something must be looking for me, so I stopped and took the initiative to greet them: "Hello, Captain Grams, Second Lieutenant Gretka! ”

After the two of them raised their hands and saluted me, Second Lieutenant Grettka politely said to me: "Your Excellency, I don't know if it is convenient for you now, because the captain and I have something to talk to you about. ”

Seeing that the two of them were looking for me, I dismissed the idea of going to Velol, shook my head at the two of them, and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go, go to my headquarters and talk." ”

After the two of them sat down in front of me, I looked at Ensign Gretka and asked, "Mr. Ensign, I don't know what is the matter with you two coming to me so early?" ”

Second Lieutenant Grettka, apparently authorized by Grahms, did not ask the captain anything more, and said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, Division Commander. Mr. Captain and I both want to know. After yesterday's unexpected escape. What are you going to do with us? What to do with me, Captain Grams, and the other 35 people, exactly? ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said indifferently, "If you don't trouble me anymore, I'll still treat you as friends and comrades-in-arms." At that time, you will not only be able to come and go from the station anywhere as you do now. You can even equip all the weapons you carry with them. ”

"Aren't you afraid that when we have bullets in our guns, we will turn our guns and shoot at you?"

Although my heart trembled when I heard him say this, but on the surface I remained calm, and I chuckled and said, "If you turn the muzzle, you can only blame me for believing the wrong person." But if you think you have a chance of retaking the station, then I will sue you that you are very wrong, knowing that we have many times more people than you. ”

Gretka's face showed embarrassment, and he tried to squeeze out a smile and said to me, "Your Excellency, Commander. Please don't get me wrong, I'm just kidding you. To know what you said yesterday. We were so touched that when we returned in the evening, after deliberation, we all came to a consensus that as long as you do not treat us as prisoners of war and trust us, then we will be happy to cooperate with the Soviets and serve you. ”

"First of all, you must ensure that there will be no similar incidents of desertion in the future; Secondly, in today's welcoming ceremony, you must work closely with my men and never show the slightest flaw so that the new German company will perceive that this station has been occupied by us. Can you do what I'm talking about? If you can do it, then I can assure you that in my independent division you are no longer our enemies, nor prisoners of war, but our comrades in the same trenches. ”

When Gretka heard what I said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Captain Grams, who couldn't understand what we were saying, was a little anxious, and he whispered at Grettka. Grettka heard the captain's voice, shook his head, and hurriedly translated the content of our conversation to his own captain.

After listening to Gretka's translation, Captain Grimes stood up, raised his hand and gave me a solemn military salute, and said a few more words. Gretka hurriedly translated for him: "Comrade division commander, I assure you with the honor of a German soldier that from now on, I and my subordinates will unswervingly stand by your side and become your loyal subordinates. ”

Instead of returning the salute, I held out my hand to him and said with a smile, "Captain Grams, I sincerely welcome you and your men to be one of us. ”

After sitting down again, Gramms took the initiative to ask: "Comrade division commander, what are you going to do with this new company?" ”

Instead of answering his question directly, I asked rhetorically, "Captain Grams, if you were in my position, what are you going to do with this group of German soldiers?" ”

Grams thought for a moment and replied: "When the new troops enter the station, I will send my deputy, Second Lieutenant Gretka, to take the soldiers to the warehouse to rest, and I will personally take the commander of this unit to the headquarters on the platform." You can ambush people inside, and when the commander follows me into the room, you can quickly bring the other party under control. ”

"How sure are you about doing this?" Grams's suggestion, I thought it was feasible, so I moved on and asked, "Can you make sure they don't alert your superiors?" ”

Grahms shook his head and said, "I don't think they have a chance, because I will control the communications soldiers who are following the commander at the first opportunity, so that even if they give an alarm, they will not have a chance." Also, I set up an ambush around the warehouse, and when the new troops entered the warehouse and had nothing to prepare, I asked Lieutenant Colonel Oleg or others to lead the troops to rush in by surprise and disarm all the people inside. ”

Hearing that Grams's proposal coincided with my original idea, I nodded with satisfaction and said to him, "That's a good plan, Captain Grams, and we'll lay it out according to what you have proposed." ”

"There is one more question, Comrade Division Commander."

"Say, what's the problem?"

"How many men are you going to let me take out when I go to meet the friendly troops?"

"You and your men are 37 in all, so let's all go to the square and line up to greet you. As for our men, I'm going to send a company. ”

"A company?!" Grams, listen to me. He waved his hand again and again and said, "No." No way. That's not going to work. ”

"Why?" I asked disapprovingly.

"Your Excellency, you don't know." This time it was Second Lieutenant Gretka who replied, "After two battles, when our company was stationed at the station, there were only 95 men in total. If you were to send a company with us, we would have nearly 14o men, and it would be easy to arouse suspicion on the other side. ”

"So what do you say you should do?" I asked rhetorically without thinking.

Ensign Gretka thought about it for a moment. He replied, "Well, Your Excellency, we are 37 people, and it will be almost the same if you send another 5o people." When the commander of the other party came to see that there were only more than 8o troops in the square to greet them, he would guess that maybe the rest of the people were on duty in the station, so that he would not suspect it. ”

"Looks like you've thought it through, comrade second lieutenant." After listening to the second lieutenant, I couldn't help but praise him.

Second Lieutenant Gretka smiled, and then asked with a straight face, "Your Excellency, Division Commander." Now that the matter is said and done, can Captain Grams and I leave? ”

"Go ahead. Go ahead, you go back and think again, see if there is anything missing, and try not to show any flaws in front of the new troops. Otherwise," I deliberately said with a stern face: "Our army will not be responsible for any serious consequences." ”

After Captain Grams and the others left, I went out with me and went to Vellore to discuss with her how to set up a fire point on the second floor of the waiting hall. Velore had already learned of my intentions from Oleg, and was not at all surprised to see my arrival, she just silently led me up the staircase where several holes had been blown out to the second floor.

When he went upstairs, Villore pointed to the soldiers who were crouching against the wall on the other side of the square, and introduced to me: "Comrade division commander, please see, those are machine gunners, and if they open fire, our fire will cover the whole square in an instant, and then the Germans will not have the slightest power to fight back." ”

As soon as the machine gun went off, you were happy, but we were also exposed. Originally, I was told to hold on for five days, and if I had lost the station in just two days, I would have been brought to a military court when I returned, even if I had not died at the station. It is with this in mind that I intend to get rid of the new Germans without blood, and I also intend to make use of their radio stations to ensure that we can continue to camouflage them at the station.

Thinking of this, I asked Velore: "Commissar Velore, is there a sharpshooter here?" ”

My question made Velore froze for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses, nodded, and beckoned to a few warriors standing in the distance, asking them to come to us. When the fighters came to us and stood in a line, Vellor introduced to me: "Comrade division commander, these fighters are from Siberia, they used to be hunters, and they have good marksmanship. Don't know what instructions you have for them? ”

I saw the sharpshooters in front of me and thought to myself that these fighters would soon be snipers in the city of Stalingrad, and today was the right time to give them a chance to practice. So I said to them: "Comrades, I believe that you are all sharpshooters with great marksmanship, and in a few hours a group of Germans will come to our station, and I will give you the task of keeping an eye on them." Once you get my order to shoot, you will give priority to killing all their officers. Do you have faith? ”

"Yes!" The sharpshooters roared in unison.

Seeing their momentum, I nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, I am very satisfied to see that everyone has high morale." As for everyone's level, I think I'll find out soon. ”

Just after noon, Captain Grammers lined up in the station square with the troops to welcome them, ready for the arrival of the new troops. Velore and I stood on the second floor of the waiting hall, carefully observing the qiē in the square. More than 30 of Grams' subordinates were scattered by us, and almost every one of them stood with two of our commanders and fighters.

At two o'clock, Velore suddenly pointed to the distance and whispered: "Comrade division commander, look, the Germans are coming." I looked in the direction of her finger and sure enough, I saw a convoy of more than a dozen trucks coming towards us. At the head was an open-top car, which was supposed to be the commander of the unit.

The motorcade stopped at a distance of about two dozen people from Grams' welcoming procession, and Grams, who immediately stepped forward with five or six men. I saw through the telescope that on the right side of Grams was Ensign Mihayev, behind him was Lieutenant Colonel Oleg, and to his left was his henchman, Ensign Gretka. The other few people, although they look like faces, are also our fighters.

Seeing the machine gun on the roof of the truck's bridge and the machine gun shooters waiting behind me, I couldn't help but whisper to the sharpshooters: "Attention sharpshooters, aim at the machine gunners on the truck." ”

Almost at the same time as I gave the order, Vellor also gave an order to the machine gunners: "Machine gunners are ready, as soon as the enemy fires, shoot immediately." ”

But the next one made me secretly relieved. Gramms walked up to the car and gave a Nazi salute to the occupants of the car, who pushed the door open and jumped out of the car, waving his hand at him in return. Then the two shook hands with each other and walked side by side towards the waiting hall of the station.

I don't know if it was my words yesterday that really shook those German prisoners, or if the thunderous means of shooting two deserters yesterday scared them, anyway, the prisoners standing in the queue were very cooperative, they just stood in the line honestly, and there was no unusual behavior at all.

The German commander followed Grams towards the station, and another officer who jumped out of the car ran to the front of the convoy and shouted a few words, and when he saw that the soldiers in the truck were starting to get out of the car, he turned and trotted all the way to catch up with his commander and follow us towards us.

Seeing the German soldiers jumping out of the car and lining up next to the truck, Velore asked in a low voice: "Division commander, shoot?" ”

I shook my head and replied, "The Germans didn't show us, so they didn't have to shoot." ”

"But, look at how neatly lined up the Germans are, they couldn't find a better target. If I were to open fire, I wouldn't have been able to finish them all out in less than five minutes. ”

I glanced at her dissatisfied, and whispered in a stern tone: "Commissar Velol, I repeat, no one is allowed to shoot without my orders. If anyone shoots without permission, even if they destroy all the Germans, I will punish her in the same way. ”

When Velore heard my stern order, she reluctantly agreed, "Yes." Then she instructed her subordinates: "Watch out for the enemy in the square, and no one is allowed to shoot without an order." (To be continued......)
