Now it was completely dark, the docks were still busy, a large number of ferries were coming and going, for fear of the bombing of the German night planes, the lights were also controlled at night, kerosene lamps and flashlights provided a faint light, with the troops, Andrei came to the docks, he was still thinking about whether the dream was a dream or a prediction of the future? Will the future self climb to the pinnacle of power?

I remember that countless people once said that they dreamed about things in the future, such as the foreshadowing of dreams, which often added suspense and bizarre colors to the turning point of the war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It is said that Hannibal foresaw in his dreams that he would win the battle, and King Richard III dreamed of many "terrible images" before he was defeated and killed on the battlefield of Bosworth. It is also said that on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon dreamed of a black cat, walking from one legion to another, and saw his army break up. Some dream scholars will say that the dreams of Hanniba, Richard III, and Napoleon were caused by the fear of waking up and putting it in the mind during sleep. They believe that the waking consciousness of these military chiefs may have foreseen the outcome of events, and after falling asleep, their brains absorb these premonitions, and the premonitions turn into dreams.

From time to time, the Germans would shell the Volga River with artillery, but because the Mamayev Hill was still in the hands of the Soviet army, the Germans could only interfere with the transportation of the Soviet army by lacking observation points.

Soon the ferry arranged for them was about to arrive, and the front army also replenished the weapons and equipment to the officers and soldiers of the new 1st Division, and soon the ferry arrived, Andrei and the people of the signal flag got on the boat first, and the signal flag came this time 60 people, that is, five groups, as for the other fighters belong to the guard troops, Andrei planned to enrich them to the grassroots troops, because these are excellent sergeants, which can have a good effect on the recruits, but Yushchenko said to Andrei: "These are all from the Moscow guard troops, I'm afraid it's a bit of a waste to go to the front line, although they can take on the tasks of ordinary troops, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate. "Now Andrei understands that these are the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs or incorporated into the special guard company, "bang" inaccurate shells fell in front, and the icy Volga water splashed on the ferry, but the boats with Andrei were the elite of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so everyone did not panic, and the sailors who drove them also did not take it seriously, and continued to pay attention to the front, adjusting the orientation of the ferry, it is already October, and it will snow in November after a while, snow? It's not good, although the snow is conducive to defense, but I'm afraid that the transportation of the Volga River will be affected, and the defenders of Stalingrad will have their logistics halved.

Soon after the ship docked, Andrei found that there were not many additional weapons, basically three people with one gun, and with this incomplete army, along the open field behind the Mamayev post, towards the location of the division headquarters.

As soon as he walked near the foot of the mountain, he met the patrol of the guard battalion, and when he saw the appearance of the division commander and the new supplementary troops, the patrol leader was really overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to report the good news to the division headquarters.

Andrei began to distribute the whereabouts of the troops: "Lieutenant Colonel Alyosha, now it is necessary to disperse the troops and replenish them into the regiments. Your first battalion goes to the second regiment of the division; The 2nd and 3rd Battalions went to the 5th Regiment to the south; For the remaining four battalions, the division headquarters sent people to take them to the garrison of the third regiment. ”

As soon as I had assigned the places to the battalions of the vanguard regiment, the patrol leader instructed his men to act as guides for the battalions and lead them to their new stations.

And Andrei took Alyosha and the political commissar Yamin to the division headquarters together, and as soon as he returned to the division headquarters, Andrei saw that in addition to familiar people, there was a strange regimental political commissar there, but this old man's face looked a little familiar, and as soon as the political commissar saw Andrei, he immediately came over to salute and then stretched out his hand and said: "You are Andrei division commander, I was appointed by my superiors to serve as political commissar, my name is Leonid, Leonid?" Ilyich? Brezhnev, I was previously the head of the Political Department of the 18th Army, and I hope that we will cooperate happily. ”

Brezhnev, no, he never participated in the Battle of Stalingrad in history, so Andrei quickly shook his hand and said: "Welcome, Comrade Brezhnev, the 18th Army is far away from the Stalingrad theater, I really didn't expect your superiors to send you as a political commissar!" ”

Brezhnev also smiled and said: "Yes, I was also surprised when my superiors told me about the appointment, but I am very honored to be the political commissar of this heroic unit, and I will definitely do my job well, work hard to cooperate with you, and hope that we will bring greater glory to this heroic team." ”

I remember that history says that Brezhnev was mild-mannered, tolerant, easy-going, and compassionate. His shortcomings are excessive vanity, indecision, and lack of courage and responsibility.

But this person is a master of struggle (for details, you can see the description of Brezhnev in 1958), but at this time Brezhnev was upright and in the prime of life, so although he felt strange, he quickly came to the Mamayev post, and in the few days of Andrei's absence, he did not have any shelf at all in the division headquarters, and he was also very polite to the chief of staff Plavia, who was only a captain, and he always trusted the judgment of professionals on military matters for Plavia's instructions, For other matters, they are basically handled according to Andrei's time, and for some things, he did not make a decision but first waited for Andrei to come back to discuss, neither one was superficial nor noisy, and the people in the division headquarters also respected the new political commissar very much, and Brezhnev was also very concerned about the life of the division headquarters and the soldiers, such as whether the clothes were warm or not, whether the rations were enough to eat, and took over many trivial matters in Plavio's life. Andrei looked at Brezhnev, who had always had a calm expression, and thought, this god can play with me too much, and brought this great bodhisattva here.

And Andrei first briefly learned from Brezhnev about the situation that he was not in the division in the past few days, and Andrei said: "Comrade Brezhnev, we will be partners in the future, and the general title is too foreign, so let's call it a nickname!" Brezhnev liked this, so he quickly agreed, and Andrei and Brezhnev discussed.

Andrei said: "Ilyich, there is no shortage of commanders at the division level now, what do you think should be arranged for this Lieutenant Colonel Alyosha, should he be the chief of staff or sent to other units as a deputy?" ”

And Brezhnev pondered for a while about Andrei's words and then said: "Andrey, now Comrade Pravio in the division headquarters is still doing a very good job, and you have cooperated with him for so long, I think Comrade Pravio should not be transferred, his rank is still a little lower, now that you are a general, you can completely mention his rank, and the rank of the chief of staff of the division headquarters is so much lower than that of the regiment commanders, which is not conducive to his work, so I think Comrade Alyosha can go to the front-line troops. The defensive areas of the first regiment and the fourth regiment are very important, and the casualties of the commanders during this period are relatively large, you can consider letting Comrade Alyosha go to the first regiment or the fourth regiment as the deputy commander, of course, this is just my personal suggestion, and we can ask Comrade Alyosha for his suggestion later, as for Comrade Yaming, he can be arranged to be a political commissar in the regiment, such as the second regiment and the third regiment・・・・・・"

This Comrade Brezhnev is really comprehensive in his consideration of the problem, he knows that the Siberian Volunteer Division has been Pravio presiding over the work of the division headquarters from the beginning to the present, so in all aspects, although the military rank is low, the qualifications are here, and he also saw that Andrei was also very satisfied with Pravia, so he not only supported Pravio but also raised the issue of military rank, so as to show favor to Andrei and give Pravio a favor, as for the arrangement of Yamin, he proposed to let Alyosha be the deputy commander, But for the arrangement of the political commissar, he deliberately did not want to be in the same regiment with Alyosha to avoid the conflict between the deputy regiment commander and the political commissar and the regiment commander, after all, several regiment commanders have been in office for a long time, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although he does not know this, but Brezhnev also understands the seniority, so it is better not to put it together, so as not to have a small group.

After listening to these words, Andrei is really a human being, worthy of being the person who will be the general secretary in the future, this Nima thought everything very thoroughly, and he also said that he just suggested that it was obvious that the decision was up to him, after all, the political commissar of the Soviet Army was different from the political commissar of Huaxia in terms of personnel arrangement, and he did not have the kind of power of the Chinese political commissar in terms of personnel arrangements, so Brezhnev put forward his own opinion, and even if he knew that Andrei should not object, he still spoke in a very peaceful and comfortable attitude and tone, It's obviously a negotiable attitude.

And Andrei of course agrees with this plan very much, and he also hopes to have a good relationship with this guy, after all, this is by no means a thing in the pool, and the future is limitless, so Andrei thought for a while and said: "Ilyich, your suggestion is very good, I think it's so decided." ”

Brezhnev found that his suggestion had been adopted, and he was not overjoyed, but still smiled and said: "Okay, Andrei decided this matter." Then he turned to Anna and shouted, "Anna, please pour a cup of tea for the teacher and me!" ”

"Okay, Commissar." Anna hurriedly brought two cups of steaming black tea with a dinner plate, and after drinking the tea, Brezhnev said: "Andrey, I'll go check the food reserves, you just come back and rest first!" Then he glanced at Anna, and then got up and left after Andre agreed, Andrei slandered in his heart: "This is an old fox, although many people think that his ability is mediocre, but it is not something to be underestimated, after all, he climbed to the top at the beginning, he is not a politician but definitely an old fritter of officialdom." ”
