Chapter 180: Unexpected Honor

All the walkie-talkies of the signal flag are tuned to the same frequency, and the report of Daxiong Shi Niu and Liang Hongming can also be received. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 When the info heard the report, they immediately reported the exact coordinates.

THE ARTILLERYMEN RECEIVED THE COORDINATES AND IMMEDIATELY ORDERED FIVE 150MM HEAVY GUNS TO AIM AT THE TARGET AND TEST FIRE ONE SHOT EACH.

With an order, "Woo-," five large-caliber shells, with a sharp whistling, flew out of the barrel and fell into the division headquarters.

Then the corrected ballistic shells flew high above the walls with a flash of fire, whistled sharply, and smashed into their respective targets with the wrath of the Soviet soldiers.

THE POWER OF THE EXPLOSION OF HEAVY ARTILLERY SHELLS IS UNIMAGINABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT FIRSTHAND, ESPECIALLY THE 150MM HEAVY ARTILLERY, AND EVERY TIME THE SHELL IS SMASHED DOWN, THE GROUND WILL TREMBLE FIERCELY. The shells kept falling, tearing open the hit area like a matchbox, and the loud and continuous explosion sound blew many German troops into pieces in their sleep.

And after a few rounds of bombardment, the team members loaded time bombs on all the shells and cannons, and then retreated, and after learning that the signal flag had successfully retreated, Andrei went to sleep for a while, but when he slept soundly, the staff officer on duty came to wake him up, because Chuikov called, Chuikov seemed to be in a good mood He asked straight to the point: "Andrey, did you take any action against the enemy's camp last night?" ”

AndrΓ© would definitely have to report to the top about the night attack, and since he asked so, Andrei hastened to reply: "Yes, Comrade Commander." Last night, our division sent a night raid team to attack the camp of the German 44th Division in front of our division, and achieved some success. ”

Hearing Andrei say this, Chuikov laughed out loud on the phone: "What is this called a little result, it is obviously a big result, and it is a very big result." Did you know that the night attack almost killed two German generals? ”

"Huh?! Two generals of the German army? Chuikov's words confused Andrei, and Andrei asked in confusion: "Comrade commander, what is going on?" It's all confusing me. ”

Brezhnev and Akhromeyev next to him heard the conversation between Andrei and Chuikov, and their faces were also at a loss, not knowing what was going on, they both turned their heads curiously, wanting to hear what earth-shattering news Chuikov would say on the phone next.

Chuikov continued: "A few minutes ago, the commander of the Front, General Yeremenko, called me and said that the Intelligence Service of the Front had intercepted a telegram from the enemy, which mentioned the commander of the German 389th Division, Erich. Major General Ratman, at the headquarters of the 113th Division, and the commander of the division, Von Brown. During the talks, Major General Arnim was suddenly attacked by a sudden artillery fire. Major General Ratman was seriously wounded and dying in the shelling and is now being resuscitated in a field hospital; The commander of the 113th Division included Adjutant Thur Brown. Seven staff officers, including Major Besger, were killed on the spot, and the division commander Anim was also seriously wounded. Based on the information reported by the German side, we can confirm that the shelling was carried out by our troops. ”

"Haha!" When Brezhnev heard the news, he excitedly slapped the table and exclaimed, "Great! What a job! I didn't expect that last night's round of shelling sent two German generals to the hospital, which was amazing. ”

When Chuikov heard what Brezhnev said, he smiled and said to me: "Andrey, since the German 113th Division is deployed in front of your division's defense area, as soon as I received a call from the commander, I first guessed that it might be a mission that you sent someone to carry out. I didn't expect to be right. Let's talk about it. How many people did you send on this night raid? ”

I heard Chuikov ask about yesterday's night raid. Andrei reported: "Report to Comrade Commander, the situation is like this... And then Andrei said that the troops attacked by Comrade Comrade Division Commander were directly subordinate units sent to our division by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but due to the need for secrecy, the specific list cannot be told to you, I hope you can understand! ”

And Chuikov on the other end of the phone, of course, has heard of this kind of thing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a mysterious unit dedicated to some special operations, and Andrei seems to be an expert in this area, but the specific situation is unknown, considering this, Chuikov decided not to ask again.

"Well done, Comrade Andrey!" After hearing this, Chuikov praised me, and then said: "By the way, let me tell you one thing, based on the confusion in the enemy's command system caused by your independent division in tonight's operation, and the great results achieved, the front command will award you the Order of the Red Banner of the Red Banner in the future, and you will be the Red Banner Siberian Volunteer Division."

"What, the Red Banner Siberian Volunteer Division, award us the Order of the Red Banner of the Division!" Brezhnev next to him, Yanayev, who just came back, and everyone else are now directly stunned, this is the great glory of the Soviet army, no less than the title of the Guards, because the Order of the Red Banner is indeed awarded a lot, it can be said that individuals can get the Order of the Red Banner as long as they have military merits, but the troops are different, and the troops who have won this glory in the original history are only:

Baltic Fleet (2 times)

Soviet Northern Fleet (1 time)

Pacific Fleet (1 time)

The 1st Army of the Soviet Red Army

2nd Guards Tank Army of the Soviet Red Army

1st Division of the Soviet Red Army

24th Division of the Soviet Red Army

27th Guards Division of the Soviet Red Army

19th Motorized Rifle Division of the Soviet Red Army

76th Guards Airborne Division of the Soviet Red Army

85th Division of the Soviet Red Army

100th Guards Division of the Soviet Red Army

106th Guards Airborne Division of the Soviet Red Army

The 17th Infantry Regiment, which was attached to the 32nd Division of the Soviet Red Army

Soviet Black Sea Fleet (1 time)

Therefore, the Red Banner Medal of a military unit is very precious! For example, the Red Banner Baltic Fleet, which has been awarded the Order of the Red Banner twice, and the 13th Army of the Red Banner of the Carpathian Military District. So Andrei hurriedly asked: "Comrade commander, is it time for our new army flag to arrive!" ”

And Chuikov said: "Well, you are right, tomorrow the new military flag will be sent to your division, I hope you will continue to fight bravely and make new achievements!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Commander, I swear that unless all of our Red Banner Siberian Volunteer Division is killed, the Germans will never be able to occupy our positions!" Andrei replied in a firm tone!

And put down the phone, in the division headquarters, "Ula, Ula, Ula" everyone shouted excitedly, and even Brezhnev, who had always been steady, couldn't help but take out a beautiful flask and said: "Andrey, come and take a sip!" And Andre took it excitedly, and the fiery vodka was added to his throat, which was very refreshing!

Then he said to Yazov: "Comrade Yazov, tomorrow I will send a squad of the special guard company to pick up the military flag with you, and I want you to swear to us with your life and honor that the military flag will come to the division headquarters safely!" ”

And Yazov stood in front of Andrei, saluted Andrei and Brezhnev, and said: "Please rest assured, comrade division commander and political commissar, even if it is at the expense of my life, I will definitely protect the glorious military flag!" ”
