Chapter 699 Orders
If it was a telegram sent by soone else, especially one that was so ntally retarded and had so command tone, Khrushchev would have thrown it aside and even ordered him to be dismissed on the spot... In the Stalingrad area, there are Who would dare to send a telegram to Khrushchev in an orderly tone? That would be no different from courting death.
But since it was sent by Shulka, Khrushchev will think about it before making a decision.
Khrushchev stared at the map while holding the telegram to find Shulka's location, wondering what it ant to "bomb the enemy's reinforcents to prevent his advance".
Thinking about it, Khrushchev has a clue. Although he is not sure, Khrushchev is not an ordinary person, and he can guess almost exactly.
So imdiately issued a series of orders:
"Order the air force to stop the enemy's reinforcents and bomb the first half of the railway line!"
"Order the troops surrounding Prodovitoye to prepare for a full-scale attack!"
"Get in touch with the 81st Cavalry Division imdiately!"
…
"What's the situation?" Yelynko asked suspiciously.
"I'm not sure!" Khrushchev replied: "However, we have the possibility to get out of this predicant!"
Sure enough, Khrushchev guessed what Shulka was going to do, because several orders he gave were related to the plan Shulka was about to implent.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Shulka ordered the soldiers of the 82nd Infantry Regint to take a set of German military uniforms from the warehouse, put them in their backpacks and prepare for battle.
"Can you tell about your plan, Comrade Shulka?" Mikhailvich asked curiously: "Don't keep us in the dark!"
"The plan is very simple!" Shulka raised the telegram in his hand and said, "German reinforcents, take a train from the direction of Stalingrad to the German reinforcents in the direction of Prodovitoye!"
These words made Mikhailvich and Andrianka confused, and they didn't understand what this had to do with the battle plan.
Shulka explained while helping the staff to sort out the docunts: "The enemy is composed of armies from three different countries: the Romanian army, the Italian army, and the German army, so don't think about it, there must be communication and poor identification between them." weakness!"
Hearing that Andrianka couldn't help but "Oh", Denisokov exclaid excitedly: "We entered Plodovitoye disguised as Germans?!"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded: "And it's not just a disguise, if possible, we will take the train to Prodovitoye Railway Station, and then quickly take down Prodovitoye by attacking inside and outside!"
Now everyone understands.
Andrianka looked at the map in surprise and joy and said: "If we can take Prodovitoye in one fell swoop, then all problems will be solved, and the length of the German supply line will increase by hundreds of kiloters. It can also liberate a large number of troops from Prodovittoye, and even encircle the German army!"
Andrianka is right, especially the forces attacking Prodovitoye, which are three chanized divisions, plus one infantry division.
It may take four divisions to attack a well-fortified city, but only one infantry division is needed to garrison a city. The remaining three divisions can either attack or encircle, which can cause great trouble to the German army.
"When shall we start?" asked Mikhailvich.
Shulka looked at his watch and replied: "In half an hour, as soon as it gets dark, we will launch an attack deep into the enemy, and the target is Tsaritsynsky!"
The troops set off on ti half an hour later. Before departure, they added a batch of equipnt and supplies... This was also an order from Khrushchev.
Every order given by Khrushchev is useful.
Needless to say, bombing the German reinforcents with all their strength... If the German reinforcents reach Plodovitoye one step ahead, then the credibility of the Soviet army's disguise as German reinforcents will decrease. At the sa ti, the difficulty of occupying the city due to the German troops in the city will increase exponentially. high.
Order the troops surrounding Prodovitoye to prepare for a full-scale attack at any ti, in order to coordinate with Shulka's infiltrated troops.
Get in touch with the 81st Cavalry Division because the 81st Cavalry Division is active in the northwest area. If Shulka's troops pretend to be German troops and encounter the 81st Soviet Cavalry Division, or Shulka's train is given by the 81st Cavalry Division It exploded... That would be an unjust battle.
Needless to say, the supplies sent to the 82nd Infantry Regint, the 82nd Infantry Regint will have an expedition, and fuel, ammunition, etc. need to be replenished.
This is especially ammunition.
In terms of fuel, the Soviet army is planning to capture a train to enter Prodovitoye, so there is not much requirent for fuel.
The food is also completely enough, because it is expected that the battle will not last long.
Only ammunition... The 82nd Infantry Regint will go all the way to the northwest, and finally enter Prodovitoye to fight a big battle, and it needs three bases of ammunition casually.
This batch of ammunition was intercepted from the 115th regint.
This angered Kamilov, the head of the 115th regint, because it was obvious that the 115th regint had consud a lot of ammunition in its attack on the Jinguta railway station and urgently needed to be replenished, while the 82nd infantry regint had just fought a small battle and occupied it. 74 kiloters away from the station, ammunition consumption is not much.
Now the superior is uncharacteristically replenishing ammunition for the 82nd Infantry Regint instead of the 115th Regint.
So Kamilov couldn't hold back anymore, and made a phone call to the brigade headquarters.
"Comrade Gerasilov!" Kamilov said: "I firmly disagree with this approach. When our ammunition is almost exhausted, we will still give priority to supplying ammunition to the 82nd Regint... Once our army is attacked , will be in danger!"
Grasilov is also sowhat inexplicable, because this order was issued directly by Khrushchev to the logistics force without even passing through the headquarters.
So Gerasilov once thought that the logistics supply was sent to the wrong place, and when he found out that the order was issued by Khrushchev, he swallowed all his dissatisfaction... No one dared to question the military commissioner Order.
What Gerasilov didn't understand was why, as a military commissar, Khrushchev directly directed the delivery of supplies across levels?
Even if Khrushchev reuses Shulka, this will not be possible, because it is obvious that the 82nd Infantry Regint does not lack supplies at all.
Thus, Gerasilov was sensitively aware that there might be so plans here that he didn't know.
Although Gerasilov was a little displeased, he still didn't dare to ask any questions, so he settled with Kamilov a few perfunctory words.
Sure enough, as soon as it got dark, Gerasilov got the 82nd Infantry Regint to launch an attack on the enemy's defense line without an order from a superior.
