When I walked out of the tent, I saw the lieutenant and two soldiers standing in a clearing smoking a cigarette. ?　W.suimeng.lā Seeing me coming out, the lieutenant quickly threw the cigarette **** to the ground, then ran it twice with his foot, and then ran in front of me, grinning and asking: "Comrade General, you finished the call. ?"

I nodded and said politely to him: "Yes, Comrade Lieutenant, you can go in after I call."

When Cui Koff saw me walking into the tent, he stopped talking with Lelyushenko, but raised his head and asked me: "Comrade Oshaninna, I don't know what is important about Commander Vatutin calling you. "

"It's not a big matter, just make some arrangements for the deployment of the troops." Of course, I can't tell them what Vatutin said, so I said perfunctorily: "However, it may take some time to supplement our group army. "

Cui Kefu heard what I said, so he didn't ask any more, just nodded to show that he knew. After he waited for me to sit down, he pushed the map in front of me and said: "Our roads are currently in a terrible condition. With limited transportation vehicles, if we want to complete the supplement of hundreds of thousands of troops in a short period of time, It’s very difficult. So I’ll give you a suggestion. In order to get supplies from your superiors in the shortest time possible, you should build roads."

"Building roads, what roads to build?" Cui Kefu's words confused me. Thinking of the kind of earthy roads that would turn over when it rained, I had a headache: "You won't let me send troops to build roads?"

"Of course not," Cui Koff immediately denied my guess, and continued: "Even if you mobilize the power of your entire army, it is an impossible task to repair the road from Kursk to Izum within a few days. ."

"Then what road do you plan to let us build?" Cui Kefu's words made me even more confused.

"Oshanina, look here." He pointed to the map and explained to me: "Actually, there are railways from Kursk to Belgorod, to Kharkov, and even to Idjum. Yes. As long as you repair the railways in the damaged sections, then our railway transportation can be restored. You must know that the materials carried by a train far exceed a hundred trucks. As long as your superiors can pass The railway is here to supplement you. I believe your troops will soon be able to regain their combat effectiveness."

"This is a good way." As soon as Trikov finished speaking, Kistyakov continued: "I think we only need to draw out one division's force to repair the Kharkov to Izum in about two days. Railway. As for the railway in other sections, it can only be left to other troops to repair."

"After completing the remediation, what direction will your troops be transferred to?" Cui Kefu looked at me and asked curiously: "Is it attached to our Southwest Front Army to participate in the attack on Zaporos, or transferred to another direction?"

I thought about the next whereabouts of the troops, in front of a commander of Cui Kefu's level, it shouldn't be a secret. Moreover, even if I don’t say anything, he can understand from other directions, so I said frankly: “After finishing the rest and reorganization, my troops will move towards Priluki and participate in the next move of the front army!”

Trikov searched the map for a while and found the place name I said. After looking at it for a while, he slammed the table and said excitedly: "Priluki is only more than a hundred kilometers away from Kiev. It seems the mission of liberating Kiev. , The Supreme Command is handed over to your Voronezh Front."

"It's really enviable." Hearing that the task of liberating Kiev fell on the Voronezh front army, Lelyushenko also said with envy: "I really hope that my army can be placed under Vatutin. Commanded by the general, then we can participate in the battle to liberate Kiev. This can be recorded in the annals of history."

"If I remember correctly, Comrade Oshanina led the 79th Infantry Army to liberate Kiev a few months ago." Cui Koff looked at me and said with a smile: "If the city is not surrounded by the Germans. It’s difficult to supply supplies. I think Kiev is still in our hands."

"Don't worry, General Cuikov." Thinking of the lost Kiev, my heart felt like being grabbed by someone. It was here that my direct line of troops was almost completely lost. Zero start. I gritted my teeth and said: "If Kiev is liberated this time, I will never let the Germans return it again."

"If you want to attack Kiev and want to rush into the city from the bridge across the river, it is almost impossible." Cui Koff pointed to the position of Kiev and began to explain to me various situations that may be encountered in the battle: "Although Kiev is divided into two parts by the Dnieper River, once we eliminate the enemies in the east bank and the enemies remaining on the west bank, we can decisively blow up the bridge over the river and prevent our mechanized troops from rushing across the river."

"At this time, if you want to seize cities on the West Bank, you must conduct landing operations." Lelyushinka said with a serious face when he heard this: "The Dnieper and the Volga are flat on the east bank. The West Bank is steep. If there is no comprehensive plan in advance, an attack on the West Bank guarded by the enemy will probably end in failure."

When Lelyushenka said this, I found that it was really the case~lightnovelpub.net~ Both the Dnieper and Volga rivers were flat on the east bank and the west bank was steep. After the troops crossed the Dnieper forcibly, they had to be on the opposite bank. The price paid by the enemy in carrying out an upside-down attack must not be small.

"General Lelyushenko," I thought for a long time, but didn't think of a good way, so I asked Lelyushenko humbly: "Do you have any good way?"

Hearing this question from me, Lelyushenko and Cuikov looked at each other, and then said jokingly: "I didn't expect that General Oshanina, who is good at surprising victory, would also ask me how to forcibly cross the Dnieper River." After these two sentences, he paused for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "I have two methods. One is stupid, which is to let the artillery continue to bombard the German positions on the west bank, and then let the infantry proceed without taking into account the casualties. Forced crossing; the second is to use frontal feint attacks to attract the attention of the Germans, and then our main force crosses the river from other sections and detours back to the enemy's rear."

After listening, I didn't speak, but frowned and tapped gently on the table with my fingers, thinking in my mind which of the two combat plans proposed by Lelyushenko would be more suitable.

Seeing that I was so silent, Kistyakov became a little anxious. He touched me lightly with his arm, and then asked in a low voice: "Comrade Commander, I don’t know what you think of General Lelyushenko’s plan. It is more suitable for us." (To be continued.)
