CHAPTER 82 BEFORE THE STORM 7 This way
Now experienced commanders and soldiers are the treasures of all troops, but now 14 lack of commanders, what can I do? Andrei is very distressed now, but at this time Andre suddenly made a move, now many troops have to retreat to the rear to make up, and there are many commanders and fighters who can no longer find their troops when they come out of the hospital, so I will send someone to arrest him A few low-level commanders and staff officers will come to it, get on the bus first and then make up the ticket! Although Andre knew that this was offensive, if there were not enough commanders, then this new editor would really be finished! So he returned to the camp at Mamayev Height, and Andrei gave a special order to his commanders and fighters, except for the sentry posts and instructors, the others went to the field hospital and the dock and the road outside to find some commanders! After speaking, Andrei looked at his somewhat confused subordinates, and he said earnestly: "Everyone should know that we are going to accept people from an infantry division next, but we are very short of commanders now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" and despite the understanding, some people questioned, "Comrade Colonel, our Ministry of Internal Affairs can't arrest people casually without orders, and isn't there also a transfer of internal affairs troops?" Can't we solve it internally? This is true, in June 1941, when the war began, the NKVD was responsible for the formation of 15 infantry divisions, the command of which was drawn from the border guards and other units. In July and August of the same year, three infantry divisions were formed on the basis of the 6th, 7th and 8th Frontier Corps, specialized units and detachments of the Leningrad Border Military District, as well as other units of the NKVD, which were included in the establishment sequence of the Leningrad Front. In August, the Border Guards Infantry Division, consisting of the 23rd, 24th and 25th Separate Frontier Brigades and the Odessa Border Guards, took part in the Crimean defensive battle. In February 1943, the 70th Army, which was directly under the headquarters of the Supreme Command, was formed by personnel of the Border Guards and the Internal Guard. It was successively incorporated into the Central Front and the 2nd Belorussian Front, and participated in many major battles such as Kursk, East Prussia, and Berlin.
But now that the war is imminent, even if the officers are coordinated, they can't come so quickly, so they still have to solve it as soon as possible, after all, the distant water can't quench the thirst of the near! Next, Andrei said earnestly: "Comrades, I know that this matter is strictly speaking very incorrect, but everyone should know that our new division does not have enough commanders and not enough equipment, and we can take the equipment from the enemy, and we can also ask the front army to allocate it, but we may go to the battlefield at any time, if there are not enough commanders, you can think of what will happen, don't forget the early days of the war!" ā
And hearing Andrey's words, the others were also silent, after all, many people have experienced the tragic situation of the Red Army in the early days of the war, at that time, because of the expansion of the Great Purge, many posts were young officers and junior officers, and even major division commanders and chief of staff, captains and regimental commanders such a situation, a large number of officers whose ability and experience are not enough to assume their responsibilities turned out to be a collapse of course, of course, young officers also have advantages, young people accept new things quickly, but young also means lack of experience, So now Andre, the colonel and division commander, is only in his 20s, and if there is not enough staff and command system, I am afraid that this situation will be terrible!
In this way, Andrei's internal affairs troops began to work in groups of three or five, and borrowed some people from the Stalingrad Main Directorate to start looking for commanders, and Andrei repeatedly emphasized that he was a low-level commander, and if he didn't want to come, he would be tied up.
As a result, it can be said that chickens and dogs jumped, and as soon as several commanders of some units stepped out into the street, some blue-hatted internal affairs troops came forward and asked them to take a trip, which made many people feel that they had reached their limit! But the fear of the Ministry of Internal Affairs made them obediently follow, but there were exceptions, such as:
Here the young Red Army lieutenant Yazov and a few comrades came to the street to watch Stalingrad, in a few days they were going to leave here and go back to the rear, and then Mhammad found them, Mahamad was very happy, and some young officers, so their group immediately stopped Yazov and a few of them, and Yazov they saw the blue-hat internal affairs troops, and immediately asked: "What is the matter with you?" And Mhammad took out his ID and said: "We are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, please come with us!" "What, Yazov thought a lot, he remembered that many people came to the door one day inexplicably with blue hats, and then those people never came back, some just made a little mistake, and some just said something inexplicable!
Therefore, Yazov now looked at the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of him and looked very indignant, and he said: "We, the commanders and fighters, are all risking and sacrificing for the great motherland on the front line, why should your Ministry of Internal Affairs arrest people!" And when he saw that the second lieutenant in front of him was still a thorn, Mhammad was even happier, because the more thorns he had, the more capable he was, remembering Andrei's sentence that he was unwilling to come is to tie him up, and Mhammad went up to an over-the-shoulder fall, and directly threw Yazov into an eye! Yazov is tall and strong, but Mhammad is the elite of Unit A, and this fighting level is not comparable to the average Soviet army!
Then Mhammad handcuffed Yazov directly. Then he was escorted away.
And here in the Mamayev post command Andrei looked at the list of commanders handed over by each group, there were many company and platoon commanders, and some political cadres, when looking at the name carefully, a second lieutenant named Yazov attracted Andrei's attention, Yazov saw this name, Andrei suddenly felt that it would not be such a coincidence, and then he picked up the military ID handed in by Mhammad, and looked at the name Dmitry Mofievich Yazov, I went, how did this arrest the future Minister of Defense and Marshal of the Soviet Union! Andrei remembered the last Soviet Minister of Defense, he was actually an ordinary Soviet general at that time, but in May 1987, 19-year-old West German young man Rust piloted a small plane, crossed the so-called "the world's most tight" Soviet air defense network, and landed on Moscow's Red Square, which directly led to the then Soviet Defense Minister Sergei Leonidevich Sokolov being removed from his post by a large number of veterans. Army General Yazov, who has a relatively junior level of defense, is the new defense minister. "On May 30, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR appointed General Dmitry Timofeevich Yazov as Minister of Defense of the USSR." Yazov was 63 years old at the time, and at the end of the Great Patriotic War he was only a battalion cadre, and in 1984 he was promoted to a general, and his party position was only ************ CPSU. It is said that Yazov's appointment was mainly due to the fact that during his tenure as commander of the Central Asian Military District, he made a good impression on the visiting Gotu and First Lady Raisa. After taking office, Yazov actively implemented Gotu's reform policy in return, and in return he gained appreciation, and in June 1987 he joined the Politburo (alternate member) of the Central Committee of the CPSU, and on April 28, 1990 was promoted to Marshal of the Soviet Union. Since then, Yazov, a former World War II soldier, has never had an easy time, especially in April 1989, when riots broke up in Tbilisi, Georgia, and the military dispersed the demonstrators and caused bloodshed. āā
At the beginning, he also wanted to save the Soviet Union, but the final result was a tragedy! If Yazov dies in battle, he will change history, and it will be a huge change! At the same time, many commanders of the troops went to the group army and the front army to complain, suing the Ministry of Internal Affairs for indiscriminate arrest!
