In the new document, Timoshenko saw a lot of information that he wanted to see the most, "During this time, the battle reports we received were always blocked and lost, the troops retreated, few troops achieved partial victories, and the passive situation of our army in normal war remained the same. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe remnants of the 284th Division retreated into the swamp, and the successive battles were all won. ”

"Including this time they claimed the Second Battle of Homnich, according to the limit of their mobilized forces, there should be 10,000 men, which is credible. They have armed the women, but the incredible force is very strong. ”

"Maybe they're good at forest warfare." Timoshenko, of course, knew that the leader called on the inhabitants of the occupied areas to fight behind enemy lines, and he knew too well that the dense forests of Belarus were very suitable for guerrilla warfare. "But with the huge disparity in results, I'm more interested in Yevlov and Berekov."

"It's the Chinese Berekov." "We promised to continue to provide them with air assistance, and they made a short list on telegram, so we shouldn't sit idly by in order to support them in making more waves behind enemy lines," Tupikov laughed. ”

Timoshenko suddenly fell into deep thought, and the situation on the Crimean battlefield on the front he was currently responsible for was getting worse and worse. Even if the Black Sea Fleet was involved in the defense of Odessa, after the German air force sorties, the naval superiority of these surface ships was bound to fade away.

On Yevlov's list of requested items, Timoshenko saw an interesting situation.

"They need uniforms, ammunition, explosives, flour and cooking oil for food. It's funny that they actually ask for vegetable seeds, maybe they really think that self-reliance can fully meet their needs?! ”

"I guess it's all in that Berekov's plan." Tupikov sat down, and the NKVD was already very clear about Yang Mingzhi's investigation. The information he obtained was basically collated by the Intelligence Bureau of the People's Commissariat for State Security of the People's Commissariat of State Security at the headquarters of the Front Army, and as for Yang Mingzhi's information, they did not know the specific experience of this man before entering the Soviet Union, but only knew that this man was once privately and illegally protected by the army.

It stands to reason that people like Yang Mingzhi need to be systematically investigated, and even Japanese spies who are first identified as suspicious will be locked up. The choice of history, such a person actually became a combat hero, and a series of achievements proved that he had excellent military command ability. At the most critical moment of the war, such a talent Timoshenko really loved it.

He and Tupikov were the only ones in the office, and the rest of the staff avoided them for the time being, hoping for a little quiet.

"That Berekov, I don't think this person should continue to be the chief of staff of the infantry division, since this person commanded the operation of tens of thousands of troops and achieved the rich results of destroying 7,000 enemies, his own losses were only one-fifth of the enemy. There must be a secret to his success in this way, and he must be unique in tactics. I should have taken him to the headquarters and made him my staff officer. "Temoshenko is from the bottom of his heart, in his opinion, the level of his staff is very debatable, and the best strategist is only Tupikov.

"But that person is Chinese!" Tupikov pointed the way.

"Yes! I know, but if we turn him into a Soviet, I'm afraid everything won't be a problem. ”

Yang Mingzhi probably understands the paranoia of this group of old hairy people better than the Soviets, and Timoshenko sighed: "The leader has noticed this person, and he should be promoted." If he had been a Belarusian, after the battle of Minsk, his superiors would have given a death order to withdraw to Moscow with the 284th Division and Kuznetsov! ”

Tupikov also fell into deep thought, and said: "The key is that this person is still an inventor, and the new weapon was invented by this person in the Far East, and it is also for this reason that Pugachev, then the former commander of the 284th Division, took the risk to protect him." This illegitimate decision did give us a gift, and this man insisted on staying in the swamps, where there were also a few scattered industrial facilities. I think the reason why they were able to achieve a huge victory relative to their size must be that this man has come up with a lot of new weapons. ”

"But it is people and discipline that decide the outcome of a war, and no weapon can decide the victory of a war."

Tupikov looked at him and nodded: "He is now a Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of the Gold Star on his chest." The latest operation was also commanded by him, and according to the German information obtained by the intelligence services, the German army in the south of White Russia did suffer a major military blow recently, and the actual actions of the German army have proved the victory of the Berekov operation, and I think he deserves the title of Hero of the Soviet Union again. ”

At this point, it occurred to Timoshenko that there were several names mentioned in the telegram, and one of them, although he didn't remember very well, was a female sniper.

He quickly pulled out the telegram and said, "Natasha Petrovna Speroskina, this woman has added sixty-one kills, and her total has reached one hundred and sixty-six!" The results were also recognized by the Gomel City Committee personnel. ”

Tupikov stood up sharply: "I know this girl, she is still a minor. If we get the exact statistics of the results of the 284th Division, she will also be awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. ”

A total of three reports were placed in front of Timoshenko, all about the 284th Guards Division. He should continue to plan military operations with his staff officers, and should not be busy and quietly sharing a room with his chief of staff to say some "whispers".

Timoshengo carefully read all the information, and suddenly made up his mind, he raised his voice and said, "We should help them!" Just like I promised! If I shirk it again, I will disobey the orders of the leader and be irresponsible to the people. ”

Tupikov was taken aback by this surprise, and he asked three times in a row.

At this time, Timoshenko's big bald head shone brightly, and his eyes were full of hope.

"What, my marshal, what new strategic plan have you in mind?" Tupikov asked with a slight teasing.

"Nope! The macro battle situation is still difficult, but I have decided that the 284th Division must be assisted, you come! Timoshenko quickly ran to the sand table, picked up his baton, and pointed at the topographic map.

"Since the 284th Guards Division was able to organize two large-scale battles in a short period of time, to be honest, the battles they fought were not large, or even common, on our front, but they were the only ones who could maintain a big victory. Look at the map again, their location is at the confluence of the Pripet and Dnieper rivers, and along the river to the south will soon be Kiev! The nightmare of our Southwestern Front is precisely the continuous advance of German troops through Kiev, and if the city is seriously threatened, our pressure will be reduced considerably. ”

Originally, talking about an infantry division, Tupikov suddenly discovered that this marshal really deserved to be a military strategist. He asked slowly: "So you decided to aid them in the long run, as long as they have increased military strength, they have the ability to use force against Kyiv?" ”

"Not bad!" Timoshenko affirmed: "Instead of spreading a huge defensive line on the front line and filling the gaps everywhere, it is better to create a breach in Kyiv, an important hub for the enemy's personnel and materials, only their logistics are greatly hindered, and our pressure drop is greatly reduced." I'm afraid that the only one who can do this now is this Guards Division! ”

The two seemed to see hope, and after smiling at each other, Timoshenko said, "I think we should have a military meeting." ”

"What is that meeting about?!"

"Of course, we are trying to find a way to organize long-range bombers, and the bombs will be replaced with supplies, and we must determine the plan and send the necessary supplies over!" (To be continued.) )
