As soon as Andrei put down the phone, he looked at General Afanasyev in front of him, and General Afanasyev's face was now completely pale, the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigated, as a senior commander who had undergone a purge, he couldn't forget that those colleagues were taken away by the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wearing blue hats, and Andrei picked up a notebook and looked at General Afanasyev and began to ask: "Comrade General, I remember that at that time, the breakout troops had opened a corridor along the narrow-gauge railway from the east and west. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info took advantage of this corridor at that time, and a large number of wounded commanders and fighters of the 2nd Shock Army were successfully withdrawn to Miasnebor. But why didn't enough troops stay in place after the breakthrough was opened, do you remember what happened at that time? ”

General Afanasyev pondered for a while and said: "By the time I arrived at the corridor with my troops, the Germans had reoccupied the heights on both sides, and their artillery and machine-gun fire were very fierce. At that time, I led my troops to charge twice, but both failed, so I had to retreat into the forest to find a new route to break through. ”

"The reason why no one was left at that time was because the army group command at that time sent the troops to the Myasnebor area in a hurry?" General Afanasyev thought for a moment and continued: "I have the impression that this order was given to me by the command of the army group that the command of the army group had received a telegram from General Plivalov that the breakthrough troops had encountered the Germans and that there had been a fierce battle, and that he had insufficient troops at his disposal to request reinforcements, so he gave such an order to Colonel Zhicholiv. ”

"General Plivalov" Andrei picked up his notebook and wrote down the name, and then Andrei continued to ask: "Then Comrade General, why did you give this order at that time?" ”

General Afanasyev nervously patted his head with his hand and said: "At that time, the command system of our group army was still operating normally, and after receiving General Plivalov's distress telegram, after discussion and decision by the commander and deputy commander, I issued an order to the troops of the group army to immediately reinforce the Myasnebor area. ”

"Oh, okay." Andrei saw that General Afanasyev in front of him was already very nervous, so he said: "Comrade General, you are also tired, let's rest first." General Afanasyev picked up a handkerchief, wiped his sweat, and slowly left.

Andrei got up and left, and now Andrei found an important problem that General Plivalov was asking for help at that time, but where was he so nervous at that time that he could transfer all the troops? So Andrei immediately had someone call Turchinov and ask him to immediately find Colonel Zhicholiv and Colonel Anchufeev of the 327th Division, and immediately understand the actual situation of the battle at that time.

And Andrei put down the phone and began to read the battle report:

When it was learned that the breach had been blocked by the Germans, Commander Meretskov ordered the 59th Army to strike in the east and the 2nd Shock Army to follow the narrow-gauge railway from the west in order to break through the troops of the 2nd Shock Army that remained on the side of the front. The commander gave the order to the 2nd Shock Army to launch an attack at 23 o'clock on June 23 and to carry the attack through at any cost.

At 23:30 on June 23, the troops of the 2nd Shock Army began to move. The tanks of the 29th Tank Brigade were again dispatched to meet them with infantry. The artillery of the 52nd and 59th armies shelled the positions of the Germans with full firepower. In order to prevent our troops from breaking through, the enemy's artillery first launched a fierce counterattack, and at the same time, night bombers were dispatched to carry out wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the combat operation area.

In the early morning of the next day, our troops opened a small corridor along the narrow-gauge railway, and the troops broke through one after another. But the Germans soon took control of the heights, and the breakout troops were again blocked. In the evening, the troops of the Front, which had struck from the east, again opened the corridor and cleared the railway of the enemy. Along this corridor where the two sides crossed fire, a group of commanders and fighters of the 2nd Shock Army were withdrawn one after another throughout the night of the 24th and on the morning of the 25th. At 9:30 a.m. on June 25, Deko closed the corridor again, this time completely. ”

That is to say, even if the passage could last for half a day, many commanders and fighters could be rescued, but why did this passage not leave troops? Now Andrei picked up his notebook and circled the names of General Plivalov and Colonel Zhicholiv, and at the same time asked his partner Kolochkov to go to the 59th Army to investigate the actual situation at that time.

Now the situation is very clear, the lack of enough troops left on the breakout route has a lot to do with this General Plivalov, so whether this General Plivalov should be held responsible needs to be further investigated.

While Andrei was pondering, Turchinov also took his own people to find Colonel Zhicholiv, and the colonel who had just come out of the encirclement was resting, and when he saw the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs coming, he almost fainted at that time, and Turchinov, as an experienced anti-rebellion worker, of course also understood the joints in this matter, whether this General Plivalov's request for help was so urgent can be said to be a decisive question, and seeing Colonel Zhicholiv's appearance of being a thief, Turchinov felt that there was a problem at that time, so he faced Colonel Zhicholiv, Turchinov said coldly: "Comrade Colonel, what was the situation when you were ordered to support? ”

The colonel froze and said, "At that time, I was going to leave a regiment to guard the heights, but I received an order from the army group headquarters to immediately march to the Myasnybor area to reinforce General Plivalov, who was fighting the Germans. But when I arrived, I found that the Germans were only a small force, and it only took one battalion at most to annihilate them. ”

"What!" Turchinov was also taken aback when he heard the colonel's words, and lied about the military situation, which led to the encirclement and annihilation of the Second Assault Army by the Germans, this General Plivalov dared to do this, and the other team of investigators sent to Colonel Anchufeev also got the shocking fact, when General Plivalov ordered him to immediately withdraw all his troops from the heights and cover the transfer of field hospitals to the Myasnebor area.

At the same time, the GRU soldiers who were operating in the encirclement also sent back their inquiries about the commanders and fighters they found, and after summarizing and analyzing, Andrei now understands that it turned out that it was this greedy bastard who killed the Second Assault Army, so Andrei asked people to sort out the investigation report, and at the same time personally took the two squads of Unit A to find this bastard to settle accounts!
