As soon as he saw me put down the phone, Lukin immediately asked with concern: "Comrade regiment commander, what's the matter, is it Captain Slavin who has returned from his mission?" ”

I smiled and said to him: "Just now the commander of the second company called and said that Captain Slavin had captured the enemy's baggage camp and had brought back twenty truckloads of ammunition. ”

Hearing such good news, Lukin immediately smiled, and he said, "Is Captain Slavin back?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, Captain Slavin hasn't returned, he's still in the baggage camp." According to the commander of the second company, Slavin had his men unload the ammunition from the truck and immediately return empty, continuing to carry the remaining ammunition. There was a stockpile of arms that could arm two regiments, and it was a pity to blow them up. ”

"I heard that you just ordered the commander of the second company to bring people to assist Slavin in carrying arms, the number of people in the two platoons is a little smaller, and we should send them more manpower."

I felt that he was reasonable, so I didn't object, nodded and said, "Okay, since you think you should send more people, then I'll leave this matter to you." The 3rd and 4th companies were transferred to the positions of the 2nd company to help unload the trucks, the 5th company continued to stay on guard in the position, and the 6th and 2nd companies returned to the baggage camp in empty vehicles, and together with the 7th company of Captain Slavin, they brought back all the enemy's weapons and ammunition. ”

When Lukin picked up the phone and was about to give a mission to the company below, he reminded me: "Comrade regiment commander, do you think it's time to report to the division about Captain Slavin?" ”

Hearing him say this, I raised my hand and patted my forehead, and said self-deprecatingly, "Captain Lukin, you don't say it." I really forgot about it. This matter should be reported to the division commander immediately. Let him be happy and happy. ”

That's when it happened. There was a sound of shouting a report from outside the command post, and I was stunned for a moment when I heard it, who could it be so late? Because Lukin was on the phone, I shouted outside, "Come in!" ”

The thick curtain was lifted, and a burly warrior wearing a steel helmet walked in. As soon as he saw this person, Lukin covered the microphone and asked the other party strangely: "Sergeant Ka Hunting, didn't you go with Captain Slavin to attack the enemy's baggage camp?" Why is it here? ”

This warrior was supposed to be in the baggage camp. But he appeared at the regimental command post inexplicably, and I suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in my heart, could it be that this kid wanted to surrender to the Germans, and in order to surrender his name, he specially came to the command post to kill us? Thinking of this, my hand unconsciously touched the holster.

However, I soon found out that it was a false alarm, and Sergeant Ka Lieqi smiled and said to Lukin: "Comrade Captain, I have come to the regimental command post on the order of the company commander to report to you about the night attack. ”

I removed my hands from my holster and straightened up. Looking at the sergeant who was smiling at Captain Lukin, he coughed heavily. Hear my cough. Lu Jin came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to Ka Lieqi with a straight face: "Comrade Sergeant, this is the new regiment commander, report your situation to her." ”

When Ka Lieqi heard Lu Jin say this, he realized that I was still standing next to me, and hurriedly saluted me and reported: "Comrade Regiment Commander, Sergeant Ka Lieqi has come to report to you on the order of the company commander on the battle situation, please instruct!" ”

I looked at him and said lightly: "Comrade sergeant, tell me about your battle information." ”

Ka Lieqi agreed, and began to tell us about tonight's night attack in a colorful voice: "...... After a forty-minute rapid march, we approached the enemy's baggage camp. It was getting late, and the defenders had almost gone back to their tents to sleep, and there were only four sentries on duty in the huge camp.

Before leaving, the company commander told us that we should outwit tonight's action and not storm it. So instead of rushing into a surprise attack, we sent four warriors to sneak up on the sentries and kill them one by one with a dagger.

After cleaning up the enemy sentry, the company commander signaled to us again, in groups of four, each responsible for one enemy tent. When everyone was ready to take their positions, the company commander gave an order, and the fighters, who had already been ready to attack, rushed into the tents one after another and killed all the sleeping Germans with daggers.

After eliminating the enemy in the camp, we came to the open field where the munitions were stored, where there was a mountain of weapons and ammunition large enough to equip two regiments. When the twenty trucks we found were filled with ammunition, the company commander changed his plans and decided not to blow up the remaining munitions, but to return them all in batches to arm our fighters. ”

After listening to Ka Lieqi's speech, I walked up to his side, raised my hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said approvingly: "Good job, you are all doing well!" Comrade Sergeant, there's nothing for you here, let's go back and rest first. ”

After the sergeant left, I had already figured out how to report to my superiors. After dialing Bilyukov's phone, I respectfully said: "Hello, Comrade Division Commander! I'm Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, the acting commander of the 678th Regiment, and I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late......"

"Okay, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, don't say these polite words." Bilyukov impatiently interrupted what I was going to say and urged: "Is there news of the night attack on the troops?" ”

Although I couldn't see it on the other side, I nodded and said, "Yes, Comrade Division Commander." Captain Slavin led his company and managed to capture the enemy's baggage camp. At present, twenty truckloads of captured ammunition have arrived in the defense area of our regiment. ”

"Are there any casualties among the troops?" Biryukov cared about the life and death of his son, so he didn't ask about the results of the battle, but first asked about the safety of the soldiers.

"Report to Comrade Division Commander, Captain Slavin's troops should have no casualties." I reorganized what Ka Lieqi had just said in my mind, and continued to report: "Since they used a sneak attack tactic, after killing the enemy sentry, they sent people to infiltrate the enemy's tent and kill the sleeping enemy with a dagger. The whole operation did not fire a single shot, it was a battle solved with cold weapons, and I believe that the nearby enemy should not have been alarmed. ”

"Is Captain Slavin back?" As a father, Biryukov is still very concerned about the safety of his son.

"No, Comrade Division Commander. Captain Slavin remained in the baggage camp at the moment. ”

Taken aback, Byrykov asked: "Didn't the night raid end successfully?" Why did he stay in the camp and not come back? In the end, he almost couldn't control his feelings.

I knew that he was concerned about the chaos, so I hurriedly comforted him and said, "Comrade division commander, don't worry, please listen to my explanation." The captain remained in the camp and did not leave because he found that there were weapons and ammunition that could equip two regiments, and it was better to bring them back to arm our commanders and fighters than to blow them up in vain. So he sent only forty fighters and escorted twenty truckloads of ammunition back to the defense area of our regiment. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to return to the camp again after unloading the trucks to bring back all the remaining materials. ”

Bilyukov's affection slowly stabilized, and he asked in a normal tone: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I would like to ask if you have taken any measures after receiving this information. ”

"Yes, Comrade Division Commander." In order to reassure him, I hurriedly repeated the arrangement just now, "I ordered the third and fourth companies to rush to the defense area of the second company to help unload the truck." After the car was unloaded, the commanders and fighters of the 2nd and 6th companies would rush to the baggage camp in the empty car to assist Captain Slavin in transporting all the remaining materials back. The first company was deployed two kilometers away from our army's position, and their responsibilities were, first, to serve as a vigilance, and second, to be ready to meet the safe return of the seventh company at any time. As for the remaining five companies, I asked them to stay in the position and take up the duty of guard. ”

"Good! Good! After listening to my deployment, Biryukov said two good words in a row, and then said with satisfaction: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, your deployment has been considered very comprehensively, so let's implement it in this way." Break a leg! ”

After the call with Bilyukov, I was thinking about whether to call Chuikov when his call came first. He hurriedly asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, is there any news from the troops on the night raid mission?" Why, after all this time, I haven't gotten any reports of this operation? (To be continued......)
