And at this time, Andrei didn't know that his little man actually aroused the interest of those big people, because now he was in big trouble!

The next day, in the morning, Mamayev Hills

Boom, boom, the German army dispatched heavy artillery and planes to bombard the Mamayev post again, the staff officers in the division headquarters were working nervously, the main peak and the positions next to it were bombed by the Germans frantically, it seems that yesterday's action really angered the Germans, Andrei said to Brezhnev beside him: "Ilyich, the Germans are going crazy, they simply want to blow up the Mamayev Gang!" Brezhnev also said: "Yes, these Germans are really crazy, it seems that yesterday's actions have made the Germans angry." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

However, the Mamayev Gang has built a strong defense system, so the casualties caused by the German bombardment are not so great now, and the two chiefs of staff here are asking about the situation, and here Plavio asks: "One regiment, one regiment, I am the chief of staff Plavia, how is the situation now!" Okay, okay, hide the troops and wait for the Germans to attack and come out. Here Akhromeyev also asked: "I am Deputy Chief of Staff Akhromeyev, how is the situation of the artillery regiment now, okay, you must pay attention to the situation of the anti-artillery hole, ensure the safety of equipment and personnel, now you continue to hide, and you are not allowed to open fire without an order." ”

And the deputy division commander Yanayev has already gone to the settlements to coordinate and command several regiments as reserves and street battles, and this is what Andrei meant, I remember last night he said: "The next battle may be very serious, it is better for the commanders in our division not to be together, so that Ilyich or Comrade Yanayev, you take some people with you, and the settlements behind coordinate the command of those regiments." Andrei's words caused controversy at the time, and Yanayev said directly: "Comrade division commander, I am the deputy division commander personally invited by you, and now the battle situation is so critical, you, the division commander, are still in front, do I have to retreat?" There is no such possibility, leaving you to turn around and run away, and even considering this situation, it should be you who retreat to the back, and I will stay in command! "Yanayev is also an old soldier, for a real soldier to let him hide in danger is an insult to a soldier, and the Red Army has always had a tradition of military commanders at the front, and the high-ranking generals such as Apanashchenko and Vatutin, who died later, went to the front without many guards and were accidentally sacrificed, and the commanders of the Soviet army generally set up the command post not far from the front line.

And Brezhnev is even more unkind, although he is indeed a little afraid of death, but as a political commissar he can not retreat, many people are poisoned by the Western movies of later generations, thinking that the political commissar is the one who supervises the war, which is wrong On the contrary, the Soviet army has a tradition of political commissar charging, and the political commissar, as the representative of the party in the army, is generally at the forefront of the charge in the battle, so due to huge casualties, the Soviet army once asked the political commissar not to charge, and the political commissar can not retreat, the division commander commanded in front, and his own political commissar lived and then retreated, This can not be said, Brezhnev directly picked up the pistol on his waist and said: "Andrey, I am the commissar and my place is here, if the Germans really come to the front, I will keep the last bullet for myself!" ”

And Andrei looked at the two chiefs of staff, whether it was Plavio or Akhromeyev, they all had a dead expression, and Andrei immediately said: "Although the burden of the central railway station has been handed over to other troops, our street battles in the city and the operation of collecting troops in the back involve several regiments, so we need to have division-level commanders to coordinate, of course, there are also considerations just now, After all, if the division headquarters is in danger, then the command system of our Red Banner Siberian Volunteer Division will not be paralyzed! ”

Hearing Andrei's words, several people were silent and thought about it, and finally Andrei decided to draw lots, and Yanayev drew it, and Andrey shouted outside: "Captain Yushchenko, take a squad from the special guard company and follow the deputy division commander to the southern settlement." Then Andrei said to Yanayev: "Comrade Yanayev, you can contact us at any time if there is any situation, but more things depend on you!" ”

Seeing Andrei's solemn request, Yanayev also took the order and left.

However, the Germans only bombed the area around Mamayev Gang and did not attack, on the contrary, the Germans not only bombed Mamayev Gang but also attacked the entire Stalingrad, and Chuikov's phone call also reached Andrei, and Chuikov asked: "Andrey, how are you doing there?" Andrei said: "Report to Comrade Commander, the Germans have been bombing the Mamayev Hills, and the settlements in the south and around the Pavlov building are now under heavy attack by the Germans!" ”

Chuikov said: "That's right, I have asked for aviation reinforcements, now your troops must hold their positions, now the Germans are crazy, we must resist ah!" ”

And Andrei hurriedly expressed his determination and said: "Commander, please rest assured, unless we all sacrifice, the Germans will not want to occupy Mamayev Hills!" ”

And Andrei put down the phone and came to the front of the sand table, now it is completely different from history, Mamayev Gang has always been under the control of the Soviet army, so although other urban areas are lost, now as long as Mamayev Gang and the dock are in the hands of the Soviet army, this battle is no problem, you must know that the Germans controlled 80% of Stalingrad in history, and still ended up defeating, but now in this situation, the Germans have not attacked Mamayev Gang but have been bombing this is the one that is sung, The Germans had not attacked the Mamayev post for half a month, and suddenly Andrei had an idea, and then Brezhnev came to his side, and Andrei said to Brezhnev: "Ilyich, do you say that the Germans want to attack us at night?" Brezhnev said in disbelief: "Night attack, how is it possible, you must know that our army is good at night fighting, and the Germans have never attacked at night!" ”

"Ilyich, China's ancient military books can say that the soldiers are treacherous, attack them unprepared, surprise, don't think that the Germans are rigid because they are not creative, attack them unprepared, unprepared, the Belgians built an Eben. Emar Fortress, which is a fortress complex built by careful design. It was modeled after the intricate fortifications of the Maginot Line. At first glance, each fort appears to be scattered in a pentagonal area, but in reality it is a clever combination of turrets, rotating armored turrets, anti-aircraft gun emplacements, anti-tank gun emplacements, heavy machine gun emplacements, etc., and the sections are connected by 4.5 kilometers of underground reinforced tunnels and river communication trenches. Each weapon has been carefully laid out in order to maximize its effectiveness. The fortress is easy to observe in any direction. Each tunnel leading to the fortress can stop enemy attacks. There are no traces of exposed masonry on the top of the fortress, there are no buildings with exposed positions, and weeds are overgrown everywhere. On top of the fortress there were 4 concealed turrets, which were fed ammunition with hydraulic lifts. In order to confuse the enemy, the Belgians also set up fake turrets throughout the fortress. The fortress was designed by a group of experts in peacetime and completed in 1935 after 3 years of meticulous construction. It was listed at the time as one of the most important defensive positions in Europe and the strongest fortress in the world, but this fortress was not designed with the enemy in mind that the enemy would fall from the sky, and the German airborne troops paralyzed the defenders outside the fortress by using gliders and using explosives and flamethrowers. The German airborne troops then entered the fortress, killing a certain number of defenders and controlling the rest of the fortress in the lower levels. At the same time, the rest of the German assault team landed on 3 bridges near the canal, destroyed several pillboxes and defensive positions, defeated the Belgian troops guarding the bridges, captured the defenders, and took control of the fortress and bridge. The Airborne Forces suffered heavy casualties during the operation, but managed to hold the bridge until the arrival of German ground forces to assist the Airborne Forces in re-attacking and forcing the remaining defenders to surrender. Subsequently, the Germans were able to use these three bridges over the canal to bypass the Belgian defensive positions and advance into the interior of Belgium in order to support the invasion of Belgium by the main forces. ”

Brezhnev was not stupid either, he immediately said: "The Germans have never attacked our army at night, but our army has been attacking at night, so it is natural that after we have been on guard for a day, the vigilance at night will decrease, and then, the Germans can also use the elite to attack at night, what we can do, of course the Germans will also!" ”

Andrei said: "That's right, the Germans' fire strikes should be aimed at paralyzing our troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, they should not let our commanders and fighters recuperate, so that it is more convenient for them to fight at night. ”

And Plavio on this side said: "That's right, at the central railway station, the Germans have attacked at night, but because of our night mines and traps, they have not succeeded, and now the Germans are fully capable of night attacks, but they have not attacked at night at Mamayev Gang, you must know that the Germans are also good at learning experience, and their commanders are also very experienced!" ”

Andrei nodded in agreement, it is the end of 42, it is still the peak of the German army, the command level of the German officers and the overall quality of the army are still very high, at this time the Soviet army and the German army are really unable to fight when the number is equal, but it will be different until next year, in Kursk, in Ukraine, even the field Soviet army and the German army can be put together to fight.

Akhromeyev said: "If this is the case, we can prepare a trap for the Germans, waiting for them to die!" ”

At this moment, a new order came from the outside correspondent, and Andrei looked at it as soon as he saw that it was this, and Brezhnev also smiled awkwardly This order came a few days later than in history:

Order of the People's Commissar of Defense

(No. 307. Moscow, October 12, 1942)

On the creation of a full one-length system in the Red Army and the abolition of the political commissar system

In accordance with the directive of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 9, 1942 "On the establishment of a full one-chief system in the Red Army and the abolition of the political commissar system", I order;

1. Dismantle all troops, corps, headquarters, military schools. The political commissars of the general departments of the People's Commissariat of Defense and other organs of the Red Army, as well as the political instructors of the detachments, are appointed as the corresponding deputy political commanders (deputy chiefs).

2. The military commissions of the armies and group armies shall be granted the rank of commander to political functionaries within the limits of their authority for a period of one month. Before 15 November 1942, the military committees of the various armies submitted to the People's Commissariat of National Defense through the General Political Department of the Red Army the appraisal materials for the conferral of political functionaries with the rank of commander at the rank of political cadre and above at the rank of battalion.

3. Corps commanders, group armies, and military committees of front armies are more resolute in promoting political functionaries with military qualities to command posts, especially in the link of company commanders and battalion commanders.

4. By 20 October of this year, the military committees of the various armies shall organize a two-month training course for commanders of the front armies with 150 to 250 trainees, so as to train the political personnel with the most capable command work to become company commanders. The selection of trainees for the training course was carried out in cooperation with the General Political Department of the Red Army.

5. Beginning on 1 November this year, the General Cadres of the Red Army will hold a two-month training course in the "shooting" training course to train the political commissars and political functionaries who are most proficient in military affairs, in order to train 200 regiment commanders and 600 battalion commanders from among them. The selection of trainees for the training course was carried out by the General Political Department of the Red Army in coordination with the General Cadre Department.

6. The political deputy commander (deputy head) appointed by this order shall maintain his original salary.

People's Commissar of National Defense

Jo. Stalin

That is, now that the political commissar system has been abolished, the Soviet army has officially established the one-chief system, and Brezhnev has now become the political deputy division commander.

This is the result of the efforts of a group of military leaders of the Soviet Military Department, Zhukov finally succeeded, and now Andrei can be said to be true, but what he doesn't know is that for the abolition of the commissar system, his current boss Beria is very angry, because Beria is also the general political commissar of national security, and now he is the only political commissar.

However, Andrei did not know that the political commissar system would be restored in the future, because he remembered that in order to embody the idea of democratization, the CPSU gradually reduced political organs at all levels and about 80,000 political work officers in the adjustment of the military structure, abolished the General Political Department, and stipulated in the "Regulations on the Work of the CPSU Organization in the Armed Forces" that "the CPSU organization and its organs shall not interfere in the work of administrative personnel and military command organs".

Directly let the central government lose control of the army.

Of course, this is a later story, and then everyone in the division headquarters is ready to prepare a big meal for the Germans.
