Chapter 582: Preparations Before the Vicious War (2)
When I woke up, it was already daylight. I didn't get up right away, but lay on my bed and quietly thought about last night's battle, and the whole process of the battle passed through my mind like a movie.
The strategy of using a knife to kill people this time was still not fully considered, and there were many problems in the operational deployment. For example, I did not think about what to do if the strategy of instigating the Germans and the Azerbaijani battalions to fight each other was unsuccessful, so I recklessly sent three companies of troops. Had it not happened that a column of German troop carriers had been killed by us and blamed on the Vostok battalion, then our troops would have been able to see through the camouflage of the enemy as soon as they opened fire on the Azerbaijani battalion. Fortunately, thanks to the defective Captain Grams, under my command, he constantly sent false messages to the Germans in order to confuse the Germans, and we were able to win this battle.
The next thing to consider is not only how to hold out at the station for a few days, but also how to improve the combat effectiveness of the main force of the division, you know, the 6,000 recruits that the group army replenished to us are rookies who have not undergone any military training and do not have any combat experience, so I want to urge Sedelikov to use this limited time to conduct retraining for that group of recruits.
Thinking of this, I immediately got up, pushed open the door and walked out. Shura, the only one in the outhouse, was wearing headphones at the moment, and she was sleeping in front of the intercom. I walked briskly over to her side and gently nudged her arm.
Shura, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by me, and she jerked her head up, saw that it was me, and tried to stand up in a panic. I hurriedly pressed my hand on her shoulder and said kindly, "Shura." No need to stand up. Just sit down and answer my questions. β
Shura blushed and nodded. Then he explained to me: "I'm sorry, Comrade Division, I was so tired that I fell asleep unconsciously. β
"It's okay, you've worked hard for the past two days." I said to her pleasantly, "If there is no telegram and phone call from your superiors, you can rest." β
As he was talking, someone outside the door shouted a report. I walked to the door. He opened the door hard, and when he saw Mihayev and Captain Grams standing outside, he quickly turned to the side and said to the two: "Come in, all of you." β
I walked to the table and sat down, looked up at the two of them, and seeing the stern expressions on their faces, I couldn't help but ask Mihayev curiously: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, is there anything important that you came with Captain Grams?" β
"Comrade division commander, I think we're in trouble." Mihayev said nervously: "Just now Captain Grams received a telegram from his superior. The other party said that he had found a radio signal of unknown origin near the station, and asked him if he had noticed any guerrillas in the vicinity. β
Mihayev's words made me break out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't said it, and I hadn't remembered that the Germans had radio monitoring vehicles that could detect the enemy's radio waves, and that I had spoken to my superiors in plain language so unscrupulously every day, it is estimated that I would have been under the surveillance of the German army for a long time, so would the Germans also know the content of our calls? So will they send troops to suppress our fake German army next?
Seeing that I was silent, Mihayev couldn't help but urge me: "Comrade division commander, what do you think? β
Instead of answering his question, I turned my gaze to Grams, and asked nervously, "Captain Grams, how did you answer?" β
Grams replied dryly: "Report to the division commander, and I will reply that, according to the reports of the vigilance units around the station, no trace of the partisans has been found near the station. β
After listening to Grams's words, I then asked, "What did your commander say after listening to your report?" β
Grams thought for a moment and said, "The commander was skeptical of my answer, and he ordered me to send more patrols to strengthen the patrols near the station, and by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, he would send another company over to strengthen the station's defenses." β
The Germans were going to send another company to the station, and I couldn't help but feel anxious when I heard the news. If the Germans had not discovered unknown radio waves near the station, even if they had eliminated all the hundred or so German devils, it would not arouse the slightest suspicion; But now, Grams's superior commander is obviously suspicious of his report, and this new unit may have a mission to monitor him, and perhaps have a separate channel to contact his superiors. In this way, we can't just attack them.
What to do? The more I thought about it, the more helpless I became, and I just wanted to ask someone to invite Oleg and Vylor over to discuss, but when I looked up, I found that Mihayev and Grams were still standing in the room, so I casually asked: "Captain Grams, did your commander say anything else?" β
Originally, I just asked casually, and I was going to send him away when he said no, after all, the matter I discussed with Oleg and them should not be known at his level. Unexpectedly, after listening to the translation, he nodded vigorously and said, "There is another important news." β
His words aroused my interest, and I dismissed the idea of kicking him out, and asked curiously, "Tell me, what kind of important news is it?" β
"The commander informed me that half an hour earlier, the field gendarmes of the army group had gone to the Georgian camp, arrested all the battalion's commanders above the company level and all members of the inspection team, and executed all of them for dereliction of duty."
I couldn't help but shudder after hearing this, all the commanders and members of the inspection team above the company level, there are at least 30 people, just like that, they will all be shot?! This army commander Hoult is really cold-blooded enough. If he had discovered an unknown radio signal in the station, would he have sent the gendarmes against Grahms?
Thinking of this, I walked quickly to the door and shouted outside, "Someone! β
As I shouted, a sentry appeared in the doorway. I hurriedly instructed him: "Comrade soldier, you immediately go and invite Lieutenant Colonel Oleg and Commissar Vylor over, saying that I have important matters to discuss with them. Move fast, there you go! β
The warrior nodded without saying a word, turned and disappeared from the doorway.
Two or three minutes later, Oleg and Vylol, who received the order, ran into the command in breath. Oleg gasped. While he couldn't wait to ask: "Comrade division commander." Are there any important things that you are in such a hurry to come to us? β
"Sit down, everybody," I beckoned them to sit down, and then continued: "Captain Gramms has just received a telegram from his superior commander that an unknown radio signal has appeared near the station, and asks him if he has noticed any signs of partisan activity in the vicinity. β
Oleg breathed a sigh of relief when he heard me say that Grams was perfunctory to his old boss. He gave Grahms a thumbs up and complimented him, saying, "Well done, Captain Grahms." β
As soon as he finished speaking, I poured a basin of cold water on his head: "Lieutenant Colonel Oleg, don't be too happy. The Germans will send another company to the station tomorrow, and for the German commander, after all, this is an important transportation hub, and only one company of Captain Grammers is stationed, and the strength seems a little thin. β
Oleg's smile froze on his face, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Muttered, "So what do we do?" After dark, do you quietly kill this new German unit? β
"Lieutenant Colonel Oleg. If only it were that simple. "I'm worried that this unit also carries communications equipment, and when they arrive at the station, they will be separate from Captain Grams's troops, and they will report to their superiors what happens at the station." In this way, our original tricks to deceive the Germans were completely ineffective. β
"Comrade Division Commander," Velore asked cautiously, "do you have any good ideas?" β
Since I didn't think of any good way for the time being, I could only turn the topic to other aspects first, so I instructed Shura, who was sitting next to him: "Shura, from now on, you must not talk to the outside world in plain language until you have to." β
"What about the telegram?" Shura asked.
I thought for a moment, if we didn't even send a telegram, wouldn't it be a complete cut off from the outside world? So I nodded and replied: "In the future, whether it is to communicate with the headquarters of the army group, or with Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov, it will always be in the form of telegrams, understand?" β
"Got it!" Shura replied loudly.
After dealing with the matter of communication, I turned around and asked the four commanders present: "How to deal with the newly arrived German troops, do you have any good ideas?" β
After Verol and Oleg looked at each other, they stood up and reported to me: "Comrade division commander, I have a JianyΓ¬, I don't know whether to say it or not?" β
"Say, it's all at this time, what else can't be said."
"We can put the new Germans in the warehouse, while our troops are stationed in the waiting hall and in the square in front of the station," said Vellore tentatively. Comrade division commander, what do you think? β
I thought about it, shook my head, and said, "No, we have seven or eight hundred people now, and nearly half of them don't have German uniforms. The newcomers of the Germans will not stay in the warehouses honestly, and perhaps one or two of them will notice our flaws while they are wandering around. β
"Why don't we create another accident and kill them all?!" After being silent for a long time, Mihayev suddenly stood up and said his own opinion.
Before I could express his position, Oleg had already shook his head and said: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, you have thought too simply, if you can kill all this enemy, Comrade Division Commander will not be so worried." Didn't you listen to the division commander that this group of enemies may also be carrying communications equipment, and if they have anything to report, they will not report it to Captain GuΓ² Grams, but to their own radio. If their superiors don't get their information, then our disguises will be exposed as well. β
"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, so what do we do? Do you just watch the Germans swagger into the station and then see through our disguise? Mihayev said a little impatiently.
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
I couldn't think of a good way, and Oleg, Vylol, and Mihayev couldn't think of a good way either, so we just sat at the table and stared at each other.
At this time, Grams, who had been ignored by us, stood up and said with a little hesitation: "Division commander, I have a way, maybe I can get rid of this army." β
"Oh, Captain Grams, you have a good idea. Let's hear about it. Oleg listened to him. I didn't wait for Mihayev to finish translating for me. Just preemptively said.
"When the new troops arrived, they were stationed in the warehouse, as Commissar Vellor said. Next, I can call their commander to this command in the name of deliberating on strengthening the station's defenses, and ......"
"I see, Captain Grams, what a brilliant idea." Didn't wait for Grammers to finish. Velore was already laughing with satisfaction, and she preemptively said: "When those German commanders come, they will definitely bring the communication soldiers with them, so that they can easily communicate with their superiors. As soon as they walked into this headquarters, we would arrest them. Without the commander's troops, it was easy to pack up. β
"And what should we do if the superior commander of the German army wants to talk to the commander of this unit?" Oleg asked with some concern.
Vellor said confidently: "Since those commanders have fallen into our hands, they are under our control, and it is not that we tell them to report what they want!" β
I thought about this mention of Grams. It was a good idea, so he nodded and said, "Okay." In that case, we will do what Captain Grams suggests. When the German troops arrived tomorrow, Captain Gramms put them in warehouses and brought their commanders here. After their commander was charged by us, Second Lieutenant Mihayev and Captain Basmanov led the men to disarm the German troops in the warehouse. β
After I finished speaking, everyone present nodded in agreement.
Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, I waved my hand and said to them, "Now that the tasks are clear, you all go back to your respective units to arrange them." β
After several people stood up and raised their hands to salute me, Oleg and Vylor turned to leave. Mihayev was about to leave, but was stopped by Captain Grams, who stood still, and the captain said a few words at him.
I looked at Mihayev with my eyes and asked: "Comrade Ensign, what did Captain Grams say?" β
Mihayev looked at me and said with some embarrassment: "Captain Grams said that there are still a number of prisoners of war in the warehouse, and those are his trusted subordinates. He wants to ask you to release them all, I don't know if you agree. β
It's a bit embarrassing for me to release all the prisoners of war held in the warehouse, and if it's true, as Grams says, that they are all his trusted henchmen, I'm not worried; If one or two of them had been half-hearted and had leaked the secrets to the new troops, then the plan we had just set up might have failed.
Originally, I wanted to refuse, but when I saw Grams's sincere eyes, I couldn't bear it, and finally gritted my teeth and ordered Mihayev: "Comrade Ensign, please tell Captain Grams, and I have agreed to his request." But there is a request, he must vouch for me with his life, he will strictly control these dozens of prisoners, and if anything goes wrong, then let him come to see him. β
After listening to my words, Mihayev stood still and froze, I frowned and asked dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Ensign, why haven't you translated my words to Captain Grams?" β
Mihayev said in embarrassment: "Comrade division commander, I would like to translate, but how should I translate the word 'come to see me'?" β
I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, I thought that Mihayev didn't want to translate, it turned out that he couldn't translate a word, so I laughed and said, "You can sue him, if something goes wrong with these of his subordinates, and our plan fails, he won't have to live." He and his men would have ended up with the German soldiers in the column last night. Having said this, I decisively ordered him: "Immediately translate my words to him." β
Mihayev nodded vigorously, and then translated to Captain Grams. Grams, nodding firmly at me, began to babble, while constantly punching his own chest with his fists, as if to show his determination to me.
I turned my eyes to Mihayev, who immediately understood and immediately interpreted for me: "Comrade division commander, please rest assured, I promise you the honor of my soldier and my own life. If you return these men to me, I will restrain them well and make them do what you command. You know, without these soldiers, no matter how well disguised your subordinates are, they will inevitably have some flaws in the details, and they will definitely be noticed by the new high-alert troops. β
I stepped forward, shook Grahms' hand, and said earnestly, "Captain Grahms, I personally trust you very much, and I hope you will not live up to my trust in you and successfully complete the plan we have just made." β
"Comrade division commander, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your trust in me."
Seeing that Grahms had already said this, my trust in him increased a little. Then I ordered Mihayev: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, take Captain Grams to the warehouse, go to my guard battalion commander, Captain Basmanov, and convey to him my order to release all the German prisoners in the warehouse and hand them over to Captain Grams."
