Chapter 225: An Unexpected Visitor

How so? Not only is he not satisfied, at the moment such a great battle feats flew all of a sudden, it was like a boiled duck flying, but this could not be said, so Andrei said: "Comrade Khrushchev, it would be a lie to say that there is no idea, but as a soldier, the consciousness of obedience and command is the most basic requirement, and the orders of the superiors must be carried out to the letter, regardless of whether they have ideas or not!" ”

Khrushchev smiled and said: "Andrey, you have to understand that the Supreme Commander has his own consideration for transferring you from the battlefield, you must know that an excellent commander or cadre must be able to adapt to various situations, and Andrey, you are still young, you need more experience, and you must know that your superiors have been paying attention to you!" ”

After hearing Khrushchev's words, Andrei felt that he seemed to value himself quite a lot, otherwise Khrushchev would not have come to chat with him, so Andrei said gratefully: "Yes, Comrade Khrushchev, we need an experienced Bolshevik like you to lead." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Khrushchev was obviously still very useful, and then he talked to Andrei about a lot of things.

Back in the office, Andre was also full of emotion, when I looked at history, I felt that these historical celebrities were very far away from us, but as soon as I got closer, I found that all of them are flesh and blood people, in fact, people are really wonderful, no one is completely an attribute.

And at this time, someone came from outside, and Yushchenko reported: "Division commander, a general has come outside to see you, saying that he is the commander of the 66th Army." ”

Malinovsky? What to do with yourself, but this is also a famous general of the Soviet Army, and in fact, he has always been suspected, in 1916 he was sent to the French battlefield as a member of the "Western Battlefield" as a member of the "Russian Expeditionary Force", 17-year-old Malinovsky was wounded in his left arm in this battle, and he was awarded a medal by the French government; At this time, the October Revolution broke out in Russia, France had to repatriate the Russian army to return home, and a small number of Russian soldiers who were regarded by the French government as elite soldiers were comforted to stay in the famous "French Foreign Legion" to help in the war, Malinovsky served the French army until the end of World War I, and the French army encouraged him to award him the "Croixdeguerre" medal and was promoted to second lieutenant (senior NCO), when he was only 19 years old.

After returning to China, although he was promoted all the way, he has been monitored and suspected, and he has been fine because he was cultivated by Timoshenge. Andrei began to recall the history of the famous player, and this was the time when he came to work!

On January 18, 1942, Malinovsky, under the leadership of Marshal Timoshenko, launched the Second Battle of Kharkov to pursue the German army, with the goal of forcing the German army to retreat at least 100 kilometers. Because Timoshenko overestimated the Red Army's ability to attack and withstand German heavy weapons, the Red Army was defeated first and then defeated (75,000 soldiers killed, 239,000 captured); Even though Stalin at first did not listen to the "General Staff" to dissuade him from launching the Kharkov attack and vigorously supported the battle, which seemed to be doomed to defeat, when the news of the actual defeat arrived, the suspicious Stalin began to blame Malinovsky for his deliberate defeat (Stalin suspected that Malinowski had close contacts with France in World War I).

In July 1942, the Southern Front of the Red Army was ordered to withdraw from the fighting, and all units and personnel of the Southern Front were transferred to the North Caucasus Front. Malinovsky was transferred to the Don Operational Group of the Red Army, which was responsible for mobile support operations (non-main operations) (Malinovsky also served as deputy commander of the North Caucasus Front). Stalin ordered Malinowski to make every effort to prevent the German Army Group A from attacking towards Rostov and the "Don" region, so as to prevent the strategically important "Caucasus oil fields" from falling under German control. However, due to the fact that the number of German troops was almost overwhelming, 10 times that of the Red Army's "Don" Corps, and the weapon-mechanical technology was not inferior to that of the Russian Red Army, the outcome can be imagined: in September, the Soviet High Command (Stavka) disbanded the "Don Corps".

In the Battle of Stalingrad, the Red Army besieged the German army with all its might, and Stalin ordered Malinovsky, who was still not at ease, to lead the 66th Army of the Red Army to advance in a hurry to hold northeast of Stalingrad.

The 66th Army of the Red Army had no combat experience, but it was the first time that Malinovsky had led an army with a full number of men and weapons. From September to October 1942, he led the army against the Germans, and although he had a mediocre record in the reconquest, he always prevented the Germans from being completely encircled by the Germans from his defensive area north of "Stalingrad". Gradually, the German encirclement began to fail, and Malinovsky decided to send troops to infiltrate the city and engage the Germans in hand-to-hand street combat in the ruins, and at the end of October, the Soviet high command urgently ordered Malinovsky to serve as deputy commander of the Voronezh Front, and by the end of November, he was again sent back to the Stalingrad front and as commander of the 2nd Guards Army.

On 22 November, the Red Army had completed the encirclement of the German 6th Army. After that, Field Marshal Manstein, commander of the German Army Group Don, launched Operation "Winter Storm" and ordered Hermann? Admiral Hort marched to Stalingrad from Kutlnikov, 150 km away, and at one point advanced to 25~30 km from Stalingrad. Malinovsky later commanded the ace unit of the 2nd Guards Army to resist Herman? The Hort Division (known in Maninstein's memoirs as the "Reinhardt Corps"), after a fierce battle, finally stopped the Nazi Panzer Corps and deeply destroyed the "trapezoidal formation" of the German Panzer Division, pushing the Germans back to Kutlnikov. Malinovsky's victory decided the fate of the encircled German troops at Stalingrad. Stalin ordered Malinovsky to be promoted to general and awarded Malinovsky, the highest Soviet honor: the Order of Suvorov of the 1st degree.

It can be said that Malinovsky has always been not fully trusted by Stalin, but now the Soviet army lacks experienced generals who can lead large corps to fight, and Malinovsky is just great, so although Stalin is suspicious, he can't do without it, and Malinovsky's performance has not disappointed, so his rank has been improved, and he finally became a marshal, but this guy is a super hardliner, and he was not so friendly to China at the beginning!

But Malinovsky is indeed an excellent and pure soldier, otherwise he would still be conscientiously defending his country in such an environment.

After a while, Malinovsky came to Andrei, who carefully examined Malinovsky, and sure enough, as in the photo, Andrei first asked: "Comrade Malinovsky, is there anything you have come to me for?" And looking at the young general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of him, Malinovsky was a little embarrassed, because it was indeed nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, the 66th Army was a completely new recruits, and he did carry out a lot of work after taking over, but he was still a little bottomless, and this Andrei in front of him was holding the Mamayev Post with some recruits, so Malinovsky came to ask for advice, At the same time, Malinovsky also paid attention to the disciplinary troops, hoping to get a group of experienced commanders to enrich the troops, and all this needed Andrei's help, Malinovsky knew that his army group also had people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you must know that because of his early experience in France, he was under suspicion.

So, Malinovsky was not polite, and directly said his request, and Andrei was directly stunned when he looked at this scene, a generation of famous generals actually asked himself for advice, which is too high for this military enthusiast of his own, and Malinovsky can play very well this time, otherwise he will not be promoted, I have to say, Andrei made the mistake of the traverser again, you know, how will the authorities know that they will be able to do it in the future, you must know that the soldier is also a murder weapon, no one is completely sure, the original blitzkrieg, Guderian didn't expect that his tactics would actually sweep across Europe, looking at Malinovsky Andrei in front of him, he smiled indifferently and said: "Comrade Malinovsky, I will solve the problem of the commander for you, as for experience, I don't dare to take it, you are a rare military expert in the Red Army now, I believe that the 66th Army will be able to exert strong combat effectiveness!" ”

As soon as Malinovsky heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "General Yakov, don't put a top hat on me here, you must know that the Red Banner Siberian Volunteer Division, to say that the people and equipment can be said to be the worst, but you have turned them into an excellent unit, I hope you can tell me your useful experience, not for my personal honor, but for the victory of the war and the commanders and fighters of the 66th Army!" ”

As soon as Malinovsky said this, Andrei started another round of verbal flickering, Malinovsky not only listened carefully, but also took out a notebook and memorized the notes as seriously as a primary school student, and when Andrei said what dare to show the sword, and the commander should inject the military soul, Malinovsky also focused on these contents, and it can be said that he listened to Andrei's cross-era combination of China and the West very seriously. In this hour's lesson, Andrei was talking dryly, Andrei found that he rarely spoke in his previous life, because what he said was not a point of interest, and he would become the leader of the pyramid scheme, and Malinovsky felt that it was worth the trip, and he finally said: "General Yakov, I will not forget your kindness to the 66th Army!" ”

And Andrei said: "Where, where, everyone is for the Soviets!" Comrade Malinovsky: I hope that in future operations, the 66 Army will be able to play well! ”

Sitting back at the desk Andrei is also tired, these historical celebrities are not so easy to deal with, they are not easy to fool, his half bucket of water is not enough to pour, but Andrei didn't expect the phone to ring again, Andrei quickly picked up the microphone, and there was a hearty laugh on the other end of the phone: "Andrey, long time no see, let's have two drinks together when we go back to Moscow!" Dare to be polite first, and think of drinking first, of course, it is none other than Ustinov, who is still young at this time, but is already the boss of the military-industrial system, forget about drinking, right? The famous Ustinov's law, Andrei doesn't want to taste it, this guy is a drunkard!

So Andrei quickly cut to the chase, he said: "Comrade Ustinov, it seems that you have good news for me again, right?" Ustinov smiled heartily again: "That's right, Andrey, next I plan to arrange for your troops to test it, our newly developed bazooka, called RPG!" "Andrei was about to jump up when he heard it, RPG this Nima, AK47, RPG This is the future guerrilla artifact, of course, there is one more thing 107 But that is a Chinese specialty, but at this time put into the battlefield these two weapons are very conducive to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army!

So Andrei said: "Great, Comrade Ustinov, you just have to rest assured that not only will there be no shortage of data needed, but we will also strictly protect the safety of the new equipment!" Ustinov was also very satisfied, and then the two discussed the arrangements for the next test, and then Ustinov said: "By the way, Comrade Andrei Kusinin's nephew will also come together this time, so I will arrange it by your side!" ”

"What!"
