I trot all the way to the foot of the hillside, standing on the side of the road and watching the convoy that was approaching. As the convoy got closer and closer, my mood began to become uneasy. Although I just saw a few familiar faces in the carriage through the binoculars, I don't know who the commander of the ensign training team is leading this time. If it is the Captain Akhromeyev that I am familiar with, of course it is best. If there are other commanders I don’t know, it will take me a while to get acquainted.

The convoy stopped about twenty meters away from me. When the door of the first truck's co-pilot was pushed open, I held my breath and silently waited for the final answer to be revealed. After the car door was opened, a young commander wearing a helmet jumped out from the bridge. After he got out of the car, he closed the car door. Although the distance was a little far away, I only saw his profile, but I had quickly determined that it was not someone else who had come, and it was the Captain Akhromeev that I was familiar with.

I took a long sigh, and the rock hanging in my heart fell to the ground. I was about to lift my leg to walk over, but saw that the captain had trot towards me, so I stopped and stood there waiting for him to bring it.

The young and handsome Captain Akhromeyev had a medal on his chest. Although he and his men had gone through a long journey, they still stood in front of me vigorously. After standing up and saluting, he spoke with a loud voice. I reported: "Comrade Colonel, Captain Akhromeyev reported to you that I was ordered to lead the training team of the second lieutenant of the Volkhov Front to Mamayev Hill. I am awaiting your order. Please instruct!"

"Please rest, Comrade Captain." Looking at the young commander standing in front of me, I was so excited that I didn't know what to say, but stared at him intently.

"Comrade Oshanina, who is this commander?" Kirilov's voice suddenly sounded around him.

I quickly calmed my mind and introduced Captain Akhromeyev to Kirilov. To cover up his gaffe: "Comrade Political Commissar, let me introduce it to you. This is Captain Akhromeyev. He is the highest commander of the Volkhov Front Army's second lieutenant training team and also Commander Merets. The most respected subordinate of General Cove."

Akhromeyev heard me praise him so much. Hurriedly said: "Serve Soviet China!"

Kirilov looked at the medal on his chest and nodded in satisfaction. Said: "Comrade Captain, it seems that you have served well. You already have a medal."

At the moment when the three of us were talking, the other commanders in the ensign training team had already jumped off the car and started to line up next to the truck. A commander gave orders to them, and when the queue was over, he turned and ran towards us. Waiting for him to run close. Only then did I see that he was a political worker, and judging from his military rank, he was a political instructor. I couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said to my heart: There was no political instructor in the ensign training team before. Could it be that the higher level sent it specially because it was sent to Mamayevgang?

I ignored the political instructor who was running over to the Council, but continued to introduce Kirilov to the captain: "Comrade Captain, come and get to know him. This is Comrade Kirilov, the political commissar who has just taken office. He is from the Central Committee. staff of."

"Hello. Comrade Political Commissar." Akhromeyev politely saluted him.

At this time, the instructor ran in front of us. After standing at attention, he raised his hand to salute Kirilov and me: "Comrade commander, comrade political comrade. The political instructor of the second lieutenant training team, Oberstein, reports to you, second lieutenant training team. The assembly has been completed, and I am waiting for your next order."

I just smiled and nodded at the instructor named Oberstein, then shook my head at Kirilov and said, "Come on, Comrade Political Commissar, let's go and see these new grassroots commanders."

"Go, let's go and see." Kirilov agreed very readily, and then followed in my footsteps.

When we walked towards the arrayed phalanx in the distance. Kirilov suddenly asked me in a low voice: "Comrade Oshanina, how do you plan to arrange this ensign training team?"

"Except for Captain Akhromeyev and Oberstein instructor. The rest are assigned to the regiments to serve as company battalion-level commanders." I spoke out my intentions without thinking, but I was afraid of Kiri. Love still doesn't know the specific organization of the division. I added another sentence: "The battalion-level establishment of each regiment has just been established. Because the battalion commander of each battalion could not find a suitable commander to serve, he had to let those outstanding company commanders act as temporary agents."

Kirilov looked at the phalanx in the distance, and asked with some doubts: "Is it appropriate to assign them to the regiments to serve as company commanders or even battalion commanders?"

Regarding Kirilov’s suspicion, I said decisively: "Comrade Political Commissar, please rest assured that the ensign training team is the most elite force under General Meletkov. At the beginning, the German army broke through the position of the 52nd Army and threatened When the 2nd Commando Army’s supply line was attacked, Comrade General did not hesitate to dispatch a second lieutenant training team and junior commander’s training company to repel the German offensive and assist the 52nd Army to consolidate its line of defense."

While we were talking, we came to the square of the ensign training team without knowing it. Captain Akhromeyev stepped forward and said excitedly to his subordinates: "Comrades, now standing in front of you is the familiar Oshanina Commander. When she commanded us to fight, she still A major, in just a few months, she was promoted to colonel due to military exploits, and she is also the independent teacher and teacher we are about to join. I believe that under her leadership, we must wait for the completion of the superior to us The mission of fighting against the enemy, defending Mamayev Hill, and establishing new merits for the motherland and the people!"

As soon as Captain Akhromeyev's voice fell, the phalanx of the second lieutenant's training team suddenly sounded like a tsunami: "Ula! Ula!!! Ula!!!"

I waited for them to shout almost before I took a step forward. This action of mine was immediately noticed by Captain Akhromeyev. He quickly raised his hands and pressed downwards, and the cheering ensign training team suddenly fell silent.

I took another step forward, with a smile on my face, raising my voice and saying loudly, "Um...Dear comrades in arms, how are you!" Although I tried to stay calm, my voice still changed a bit.

Although I only said one sentence, when I said "dear comrades in arms". I think the commanders in the phalanx are also affected by my emotions.

"I'm very happy, my comrades from the Volkhov Front, we are together again." I continued. "And it's here..." At this point, I suddenly got stuck. Because of the excitement, I forgot what I wanted to say next. It was not until I heard Kirilov coughing hard behind me that my mood became a little calmer, and then I repeated, "And at this very important moment for Stalingrad, you guys I was sent here by General Meretskov to fight alongside me. On behalf of all the commanders and fighters of the Independent Division, I welcome you!"

My voice just fell. There was a round of applause on the court. After sweeping my eyes on the faces of every commander in the phalanx, I raised my hands and pressed down. After everything returned to calm, I continued to say: "Comrades, let’s not hide it from you. At present, Stalinger Le’s situation is very bad. The German army is coming in from the north, west and south. Although our army is fighting stubbornly, it is retreating towards Stalinger behind us under the attack of the dominant enemy. Le. We hold on to Mamayev Hill. Maybe soon, it will become the enemy's key attack area. Because this is a commanding height overlooking the city, as long as you control it, the enemy can adjust their heavy artillery to On the hillside, like the shelling of Leningrad, shelling the city named after the Supreme Commander himself. You say, can we let the enemy set foot on this high ground?"

"No! No!!! No!!!" The phalanx in front of me responded neatly.

"Comrades and comrades in arms, although many of us will die in the next battle, I believe that the enemy will be blocked by our heroic commanders in Mamayev's post. I believe that the enemy will eventually be ours. Buried under Stalingrad. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes! Yes!!! Yes!!!" All the commanders answered me with full anger.

For everyone's performance. I nodded with satisfaction. Then I changed the topic and said to everyone: "Comrades. My comrades, I said before: You are all excellent commanders in the Red Army. I firmly believe that, given time, there will surely be many people among you. Become a high-ranking commander, a general in the Red Army, and even a marshal! Comrades, I now congratulate you, because from the moment you set foot on the land of Mamayev Hill, you are facing your general dream Marshal Dream has taken a big step forward. I am very responsible to tell you that as long as you live to victory and live to the moment you see our flag on the roof of the Reichstag in Berlin, then many of you , You may have become a general."

"Colonel Oshanina, how long will I have to wait for this day?" A commander standing in the first row heard me say this, and couldn't help but take advantage of the gap between my words and asked them on behalf of everyone.

"I believe that as long as we all work hard, we will be able to see this day in three years at most." Although I know the specific date of Germany's surrender, I can't tell everyone clearly. Just told the curious commander a date in general.

I waited for everyone to calm down, and continued to say: "I said before, as long as conditions permit, I will never use you excellent commanders in the Red Army as ordinary soldiers. I deliberately treat you from the war. Erkhov’s front army was transferred all the way to Stalingrad, not to mention you as cannon fodder. Now I will assign you to the regiments of the independent division, and serve as company platoon commanders or even battalion commanders according to your abilities. Job title."

After speaking, I ignored the reaction of the queue and turned to call Akhromeyev: "Comrade Captain!"

Hearing my call, Akhromeyev hurried forward two steps and came to me, quietly waiting for my order.

"How many people are there in the ensign training team?" I glanced at the neatly arranged square, and then asked.

"Comrade commander, please allow my instructor to report to you." Akhromeyev did not answer my question immediately, but sideways gave the political instructor Oberstein out of him.

After seeing me nodding in acquiescence, the instructor Oberstein also stepped forward, straightened his body, and respectfully reported: "Report to the commander, after the first two months of fighting, the ensign training team has only 82 left. People. This time I was assigned to Mamayev Hill to come under your command. Commander Meretskov felt that there were too few people, so he transferred some students from the junior commander’s teaching company to supplement. Now the ensign training team has a total of 152 people."

After listening to Oberstein’s report, I secretly spotted the number of people in the phalanx. There were 30 people in a row, five columns in total, exactly 150 people, plus Captain Akhromeyev and the Ober in front of me. Instructor Stan, there are exactly 152 people.

At this time, Kirilov came to me again and asked my opinion in a low voice: "Comrade Oshanina, how do you interrupt the distribution of these 152 people?"

I also lowered my voice to answer him: "Commissar, please rest assured, I know it." Then I raised my voice to the square of the ensign training team and said, "Comrades in the ensign training team~lightnovelpub.net~ I will next Assign everyone a place to go, please be mentally prepared." After saying this, I looked at them again, and then began to announce the result of my assignment: "Go to the first row and find Sederikov. The lieutenant colonel reported; the second platoon went to the second regiment and asked the acting head Captain Pugachev to report; the commanders of the third and fourth platoons were assigned to the third and fourth regiments. Because the third regiment commander was injured, the two regiments Lieutenant Colonel Gaidar, head of the fourth regiment, is responsible for the daily work of Lieutenant Colonel. You just need to report to him; on the fifth row, go to the fifth regiment and report to the head of the regiment Lieutenant Colonel Oleg and Political Commissar Vellore.

"Then the captain and the instructor, how did you arrange it?" Kirilov saw that I had allocated the rest of the ensign training team, but Akhromeev and Akhromeev stood in front of us. Oberstein, so I couldn't help asking.

I looked up at the two people in front of me, thought about it for a moment, and then ignoring the discussion with Kirilov, I announced loudly: "Captain Akhromeyev, from today, I will temporarily act as an independent division. The post of Chief of Staff, is responsible for assisting me in directing operations. As for the political instructor Oberstein," I couldn’t help but hesitate. When the political workers under Luofu went to the army, if the official position given to the instructor was too small, even if he didn't say it, Meletskov would be unhappy if he knew it. Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and said decisively, "Assigned to the regiment of Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov, I will serve as political commissar of the regiment." (to be continued)
