Serov was a man who did what he said. After he said this, he took his adjutant and went to the radio station to report to Stalin. (Pinyin of biqiwu)

While Serov walked away, Belov asked me nervously, "Comrade Oshanina, will he be with us when we fight later?"

"Yes, General Belov." I said helplessly: "Since he was sent by the Supreme Commander to monitor the execution of the campaign, I don't think he will leave until the battle is over."

"Comrade Commander," As soon as I finished speaking, Bezikov rushed to me and asked anxiously: "Why do you say that we can solve the battle in twenty hours?"

"Huh?" Hearing Bezikov's question, I couldn't help but stunned, but then asked: "Didn't you just gesture to me and say that within twenty hours, the battle will be resolved?"

Bezikov waited until I finished speaking, and said dumbfounded: "I'm telling you that in two days, you can solve Mozili's enemies, who knows that you have misunderstood it for twenty hours."

"What should I do then?" I asked Bezikov a little flustered: "Or, we told Comrade Serov that we just made a mistake, not to solve the battle in 20 hours, but to solve the battle in two days."

Bezikov glanced behind me, then sighed, and said softly: "It's too late, Comrade Commander, I saw that the Deputy People’s Committee has finished sending the telegram and came over to us."

I turned my head and saw that Serov was walking towards us with a smile on his face. After he approached, I tentatively asked, "Comrade Deputy People’s Committee, your telegram to the Supreme Commander himself has been sent out?"

"Yes, it has already been sent out." Serov nodded and said, "Next, it's up to your performance."

I heard that the telegram had already been sent, and I knew it was done. Even if I wanted to change my mouth, I had no chance. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Don't worry, Comrade Deputy People's Committee, I will never disappoint Comrade Stalin."

...

Ten minutes before our shelling began, Bezikov stood up and said to us: "Comrade commanders, our preparations for the enemy's defensive positions are about to begin. Can we go up to the bell tower now?"

"Comrade Deputy People's Commissar," I saw that Serov was still a bit unable to recover after hearing these words from Bezikov, and quickly explained to him: "We can see the progress of the battle from the bell tower. "

After Serov understood what was going on, he said readily: "Since this is the case, let's go to the bell tower!"

Due to the small area of ​​the bell tower, the only people standing on it were me, Serov, Belov, and Bezikov, and a telegraph operator with a telegraph. It was so cold on the clock tower that I had to stand up the collar of my army coat against the cold wind from all directions.

At this time, our radio station has established contact with the military headquarters. The first to report to me was Major General Sivakov: "Comrade Commander, the 22nd Guards Corps is ready!"

"Comrade Commander," then it was reported that all the commanders and soldiers of the Guards Corps of General Tawart Kiradze were ready for battle. "

"Comrade Commander, the tank brigades of the Tank Army have entered their attack positions." Bere reported. "Prepare to provide the necessary artillery support to the infantry when they launch an impact!"

The last person who reported to me was Artillery Commander Povsky: "Comrade Commander, the artillery is ready and ready to shoot."

After listening to the reports of the various armies, Serov and I raised our binoculars and looked into the distance. It is a pity that because the light is too dark, I can only see the vague outline of the high ground through the telescope. Serov next to him watched for a while, and saw nothing clearly, so he put down his binoculars and asked me: "Comrade Oshanina, the visibility is so poor, can our artillery accurately hit the enemy's position?"

"Don't worry, Comrade Deputy People's Committee." I replied with a smile: "Our artillery observers have conducted detailed surveys in the past few days, and the areas to be bombarded have been marked on the map in detail. It is the light. Dark, our artillery can also accurately hit the target based on the data provided by the observers."

"Comrade Commander, there is still the last minute left." Bezikov reminded suddenly behind me.

Serov raised his hand and looked at his watch, then looked up at me and said, "Comrade Oshanina, it's such a quiet dawn, it's a shame to break it!"

I also raised my hand to look at my watch, and then smiled and said to Serov: "Comrade Deputy People’s Committee, in order to destroy the enemy, we always have to break it. Now the time has come." After that, I rushed to Bezikov. Raising his hand, he ordered: "Go ahead, Comrade Chief of Staff!"

"The commander ordered shelling of the German outer positions." Bezikov, who received my order, said into the microphone: "Go ahead, General Povsky!"

Following Bezikov’s order, hundreds of cannons deployed in two directions northeast of Mozili opened fire. The loud rumbling broke the silence of the cold winter morning, and the enemy’s defensive positions were shrouded in fire and smoke. .

After the shelling lasted for an hour, it stopped abruptly. I heard Bezikov shouting loudly behind me: "Comrades, the shelling is over, let the troops attack! ... General Bere, when the infantry strikes the enemy's high ground, you let the tank The brigade’s tanks pushed forward to provide them with artillery cover and destroy the surviving German firepower points."

Soon after Bezikov's voice disappeared, several red flares suddenly rose in the air. Belov explained to Serov behind Serov: "Comrade Deputy People’s Committee, have you seen the red flare? That is our offensive signal. You will soon be able to see thousands of commanders. From his hidden trenches, he bravely rushed towards the high ground occupied by the enemy."

Since the church is in the east of the city, only the 22nd Guards Infantry Army can be seen. With the rising of the signal flare, the four divisions in the east of the city launched a fierce attack on the enemy's position. On the far left is the 67th Division of Major General Baksov’s Guards, in the middle is the 71st Division of Colonel Babahin’s Guards, and on the far right is the 90th Division of Chernoff’s Guards. The 77th Division of Major General Askarepov's Guards followed these three divisions and rushed to the enemy's defensive positions.

Since the soldiers had launched an attack, I raised my binoculars and stared nervously at the battlefield. At this time, the sky was shining slightly, and coupled with the flames still burning on the high ground ahead, I could see clearly how the commanders were advancing. In order to increase the speed, the soldiers rushed straight forward, trying to rush to the enemy's high ground as soon as possible. The heavy machine gunners and mortarers dragged Maxim's heavy machine guns or carried the mortars, and followed far behind.

The place where our troops attacked was almost two kilometers away from the enemy's high ground. Seeing that the fighters were getting closer and closer to the high ground, and there was no movement on the high ground, Serov couldn't help frowning. He seemed to be talking to himself and asking me: "What the **** is going on here? Why didn't the enemy fight back? , Could it be that they were all destroyed by our cannon in the shelling just now?"

But I have always maintained a high degree of vigilance, because according to my experience, the Germans have not responded to the attack. They definitely wanted to wait until our army got closer, so that they could cause great casualties to our army.

Sure enough, when our troops were more than a hundred meters away from the high ground, the machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles on the German position fired together, causing the commanders and fighters in the front to fall down a large area. Lie down on the spot, looking for a place to hide. The heavy machine gunners and mortarers who followed quickly searched for suitable positions, constructed machine guns or mortar positions, and prepared to suppress the German forces.

I quickly turned around and grabbed the radio microphone behind me, and shouted into the microphone: "Hey! Hello! General Bie Lei? Immediately order your tank to fire, destroy the resurrected firepower points, and cover our infantry from rushing to the high ground."

When the tanks deployed on the front of the high ground opened fire, the exposed firepower points were destroyed one by one. The German troops in the trenches were also overwhelmed by our tank fire and heavy machine gun fire. At this moment, I saw a commander wearing a big brimmed hat get up from the ground, raised his pistol high above his head, and turned around and shouted something to the soldiers. When he turned and rushed towards the top of the hillside, countless soldiers lying on the ground also stood up and rushed up with him.

Seeing our commanders and fighters flooding the high ground like a tide, Serov put down his binoculars and turned to me and said, "Comrade Oshanina, did you see the commander just now? It is because of his courage. Our troops can rush to the enemy’s high ground so quickly. After the battle is over, I will meet this commander and have a good talk with him."

Regarding Serov's whim, I really couldn't laugh or cry, not to mention that the light and dim light were so far away, I didn't even see who the other party was. Even knowing who it was is of no use, the battle has just begun, and it is not clear that he died in the next battle. But I couldn't refute Serov’s face in public, so I had to say vaguely: "Well, Comrade Deputy People’s Committee, when the battle is over, I will call this commander to see you."

Who knows that as soon as I finished speaking, Serov waved his hands and said: "You can't wait until the battle is over. You'd better call the forward commander now and ask them who is the commander who rushed to the enemy's high ground first?"

"Okay." Since Serov made a request, I couldn't refute him, so I had to follow his instructions. I turned my head and told Bezikov: "The Chief of Staff, the 71st Guards Division was responsible for the area just now. You can call Colonel Babahin and ask him if you can see the first commander who rushed to the high ground. who is it?"

"Yes!" After Bezikov heard my order, he immediately asked the operator to answer the 71st Guards Division, and then asked loudly: "Hello! Is Colonel Babahin? This is Bezikov, Commander. Comrade asked me to ask you, who was the first commander who rushed to the enemy’s high ground just now?...What, did you not see clearly?...I will give you ten minutes, and I must find out who this commander is. !"

I quickly turned around and grabbed the radio microphone behind me, and shouted into the microphone: "Hey! Hello! General Bie Lei? Immediately order your tank to fire, destroy the resurrected firepower points, and cover our infantry from rushing to the high ground."

When the tanks deployed on the front of the high ground opened fire, the exposed firepower points were destroyed one by one.
