Before the officer in Lengdi Town arrived at the headquarters, the telegram from General Rebarko came first. Although Romanov is now the commander of the 79th Infantry Corps, after he received the telegram from the telegraph operator, he turned around and handed it to me without even looking at the telegram.

I took Rebarco's telegram and checked it carefully. The situation on the left bank of the Dnieper River is more optimistic than I expected. The tanks of the 12th Army have quietly arrived in a small town called Kanivka in the northeast of Bruvari; the troops of the 15th Tank Army have already Propelled to the outside of Boryspil, less than ten kilometers from Brovari. As soon as the day breaks, the two forces can attack Blauvari at the same time. At the same time, a part of the 79th Guards Infantry Division is advancing quickly towards Kaniv. It is estimated that it will not be long before it will be able to join forces with the Akhromeyev regiment remaining in Kaniv.

After seeing this inspiring telegram, I handed it to Kirilov. I looked up and wanted to say a few words to Romanov, only to find that he was standing next to the telegraph, leaning over and saying something to the operator. .

When he walked back in front of me again, I asked curiously: "Comrade General, did you give another order to the army just now?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander." Romanov replied affirmatively: "I asked the radio operator to report to the reconnaissance unit hidden near Kiev at this moment, so that they would pay close attention to the movements of the enemy in the city. Once the German forces were mobilized, they were mobilized. Report the signs of the troops to me immediately."

Regarding Romanov’s precautions, I nodded with satisfaction and said: "Comrade General, you are very considerate. Although General Rebarko’s troops are advancing towards the enemy’s defense zone during the night, they must not be noticed by the enemy. This is simply impossible. Facing the approach of our army, the defenders in the city of Bruvari will inevitably turn to Kiev for help. The enemy should have been attracted by our false actions at Kaniv. So they mobilized It is imperative for the city's defenders to reinforce Brovari."

"Our strategy will not be seen through by the Germans?" Romanov asked worriedly.

I took the advantage of Romanov not paying attention, and quickly rolled my eyes at him, saying that the Germans had long understood the rigid tactics commonly used by the Soviets, and they must have used the old tactics to deal with the Soviets. It's strange not to mobilize troops to reinforce Brovari. Although I was dissatisfied with his skepticism in my heart, but on the surface he had to politely said to him: "Comrade General, the Germans did not even think that Obkoshiv had fallen into the hands of our army, so they would defend themselves. The focus is on Brovari in the east. At the latest tomorrow day, Kiev’s defenders will reinforce Brovari in a big way."

"If the enemy really reinforces Blauvari," Romanov thought about it seriously after listening to my words, "then, at what time period should we launch an attack on the city?"

"Although we have just seized a batch of weapons and equipment, we do not have the air superiority. Even if Kiev is an empty city, if we want to launch a pre-strike, we will certainly pay a heavy price." I said before the offensive arrangement, we must first exist in our army. It’s not enough to tell Romanov, lest he think of underestimating the enemy: "Therefore. Our attack can only be arranged at night. When the enemy is suddenly attacked by us, it is difficult to organize effective resistance, and there is no air. Support, it is very difficult for them to defend the city."

Talking. A staff officer came in from outside and reported to Romanov: "Comrade Commander. The commander of the rebellious Eastern Battalion has arrived. Do you need to see him immediately?"

Romanov did not reply immediately. Instead, I set the sight of consultation on me. Seeing that I nodded and said that it was possible, he told the staff officer: "Go and call him in."

The staff officer walked to the door and shouted to the outside: "Come in, the commanders are waiting for you inside!"

Soon, an officer who was not tall but was very strong, dressed in a German uniform, walked in quickly. After his eyes quickly swept over the three of us, he raised his hand to salute me and said respectfully: "Report to Comrade General, Sergeant Konstantin Sukhanov of the Red Army is waiting for your order. Please advise!"

I didn’t speak, I circled him with my back, then glanced at the rank of lieutenant on his shoulder, and said, “Lieutenant Sukhanov, it looks like you are doing well in the German army. Promoted to lieutenant."

Hearing what I said, he was silent for a while, and then he looked very excited and said to me: "Comrade General, after the outbreak of the war, I also participated in several fierce battles. Later, I was captured after being wounded in the battle. If I was not injured, I would never be a prisoner."

"Okay, Lida, don't frighten him." Seeing Sukhanov's emotions, Kirilov quickly came out to ease the atmosphere. He patted the other person on the shoulder and said friendlyly: "Lieutenant, don't be afraid. None of us blames you for being a prisoner. After all, you were captured after being injured."

"Yes, being captured after losing resistance, I don't think it is a shame." Romanov also appeared to say at this moment, he shrugged: "Shortly after the outbreak of the war, I was also injured and injured. The enemy has been captured."

Hearing what Romanov said, Sukhanov turned his head and looked at the general in front of him carefully. After a while, he tentatively asked, "Are you General Romanov?"

Romanov was surprised that a military officer who had just surrendered recognized himself. He curiously asked: "Why, Comrade Sukhanov, did you know me before?"

Sukhanov nodded vigorously and replied affirmatively: "Yes, Comrade General. Although I am not your subordinate, my unit also participated in the battle to defend Mogilev. Later, when we broke through, we The army was broken up, and I was also captured with a group of wounded because of the wounds."

"Lieutenant Sukhanov, there is something I am very curious about," I asked Sukhanov after the two were over. "Can you give me an answer?"

"Comrade General, please ask." Sukhanov said respectfully: "As long as I know, I will answer truthfully."

"What I want to know is why your sentry fired as soon as they saw our troops appear. And when they reported the number of the German army, your firepower became more intense?" I want to know very much. Sukhanov thought when he gave the order, so he asked bluntly: "When you hear the real number of our army, immediately cease fire and lay down your weapons to surrender to our army. I have never understood this matter. Hopefully. Can you give me an answer."

"That's it, Comrade General." Sukhanov said in a very pure Russian without any haste: "Although my men and I were singled out by the Germans from the prisoner-of-war camp, they never really I have trusted us, and we have never devoted ourselves to working for them. Two weeks ago, my men heard about your troops’ performance by the Dnieper River. So a few people drove away and wanted to join you.

As a result, they were out of luck, and they were discovered by the German inspectors in the company as soon as they left the barracks. After being captured, the Germans shot them all without saying a word. And moved our company from Obkoshiv to the current town of Lengdi. Fearing that the Germans might retaliate against us further, I announced in the army that if we find that a unit is approaching our town at night, we can shoot directly without warning. It is precisely because of this order that when the sentry saw your presence, they fired decisively to warn them, and the firepower outside the town immediately opened fire. "

After Kirilov listened to Sukhanov's words. He asked puzzledly: "Lieutenant, I don't understand. Since your deserters were shot by the Germans, how would they retaliate against you?"

"That's it. Comrade Commander." After taking a look at Kirilov, Sukhanov had to say vaguely because he couldn't figure out the rank of the opponent, and then said: "I'm afraid the German will touch him in the middle of the night. When we arrived at our camp and disarmed our company, we either shot it on the spot or sent it back to the prisoner-of-war camp. Because I heard my subordinates say that the troops outside the town said they were German troops and asked us to cease fire immediately. I was decisive. I made up my mind, it was a death anyway. I just didn’t stop doing it, I just went the other way. No matter how many Germans can be killed, it’s better than just waiting to die.”

"Well, I understand." Romanov added: "When you hear that the troops outside the town are not Germans, but our troops disguised as enemies of the city, you immediately ordered a ceasefire and took the initiative to tell me Disarm, right?"

"That's it, Comrade General." Sukhanov nodded and replied affirmatively.

"By the way, Lieutenant Sukhanov, what's the matter with the arsenal in the forest?" After I figured out why Sukhanov and the others turned against the water, I continued to ask the arsenal that suddenly appeared: "Is it you or The German found it?"

Sukhanov replied without hesitation: "Report to Comrade General that the Germans don’t even know the arsenal. Two days ago, my people found several Soviet soldiers in the forest. Coincidentally, my subordinates I happened to know one of them. Upon asking, I realized that they were soldiers who had stayed behind in the warehouse. Because they had lost contact with their superiors and were not given orders, they had to stay. Because the forest road leading to the warehouse was blocked They destroyed, so the Germans never found that there is such a complete arms warehouse in a place so close to Kiev."

"How did they survive in the past two years?" Hearing that there are still small units of our army left behind in the forest, it can't help but arouse Kirilov's interest: "Have they never been caught by the Germans? Perceive it?"

"That's it, Comrade Commander." Sukhanov replied truthfully: "In the past, they relied on the food stored in the warehouse and hunting in the forest to maintain a normal life. But now the food in the warehouse is exhausted. They had to venture into the town to find food, but they were discovered by my people. I did not give them to the Germans, but hid them in our troops."

"Good job, Lieutenant Sukhanov." After hearing Sukhanov's remarks, Romanov couldn't help but be overjoyed. He stepped forward and slapped the opponent's shoulder vigorously, and even declared in praise: "You may not have thought of this batch of munitions. How important it is to us. In this way, even if we recruit thousands of people among the urban residents, the weapons will be sufficient."

After Romanov finished speaking, I said to Sukhanov: "Lieutenant Sukhanov, after a busy night, you should be tired. Go and rest." After speaking, I stood still. The staff officer at the door shouted: "Comrade staff, you take Lieutenant Sukhanov to rest."

As soon as Sukhanov left, I asked Romanov to summon the three division commanders, as well as the artillery regimental commander Cavillin, and the adjutant of the tank brigade, Major Perskin, to the headquarters to discuss the details of tomorrow’s attack on Kiev. problem.

Vitkov, who remained in Smila to handle the aftermath, returned to the headquarters before the other commanders arrived. But when he heard that we had found enough arms to equip the two divisions, he was overjoyed, and he kept saying to Kirilov and me: "Commander, political commissar, this is really great. On the way here, I'm still thinking about how the few tanks of Major Perskin and the limited artillery in the Lieutenant Colonel Cavillin's regiment can reduce the casualties that our army has inflicted during the assault on Kiev. Now, there are more. So many munitions, especially those thirty tanks, have greatly improved our army’s ability to attack."

While talking, the commanders who came to the meeting all walked away from the headquarters one after another. Seeing that Vitkov had successfully returned to the headquarters from Smila, they also came up to greet him.

Seeing that the meeting was almost there, I patted the table with my hand and announced loudly: "Comrades, please be quiet, we are going to have a meeting."

Hearing me say this ~lightnovelpub.net~ The commanders who were talking to Vitkov enthusiastically all quieted down, returned to their seats, and focused on me, waiting for me to announce the new Combat orders.

I coughed, cleared my throat, and said, "Comrades commanders, let me tell you the good news. The troops of General Rebarko on the left bank of the Dnieper River have all entered the attack position and will be able to occupy the German army tomorrow. Blauvari launched an offensive and formed an attack against Kiev with our army. As for the detailed plan for the attack on Kiev, it is up to your army commander General Romanov to announce to you."

After finishing speaking, I turned my head and said to Romanov: "Comrade General, it is up to you to assign combat missions to them."

Romanov agreed, stood up, and began to announce to the commanders present the battle plan that the three of us had just drawn up to seize Kiev from the enemy. (To be continued)
