Seeing my former subordinates reappearing in front of me, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. I couldn't help but stretch out my hands to grab his arm, shaking it hard, and said excitedly: "It turns out it's you, Captain Yushenko..."

Yushenko also showed a knowing smile on his face, and he replied, "Yes, Comrade Commander, I didn't expect that after so long, we met again." When he said this, his eyes swept over my collar and the smile on his face became even brighter. "Comrade Commander, congratulations on your regaining the rank of general."

I pulled him to the table and sat down. I was surprised at his appearance. Why did my superiors send my former guard company all the way? In order to find out what was going on, I asked Major Basmanov to pour tea while curiously asking Yushenko: "Captain, who sent you to Mamayev's hill?"

Regarding my question, Yushenko looked at Kirillov and the others vigilantly, and then replied cautiously: "Comrade Commander, it was General Bezikov who sent us here."

After listening to Yushenko's explanation, I realized that they were sent by my old friend Bezikov. At the same time, I also lamented that he is now a prosperous official career and was promoted from a colonel to a general. You must know that in the Central Guard Regiment, it is much more difficult to promote from a colonel to a major general than a combat force.

I quickly introduced Yushenko to Kirillov and the others: "Political Commissar, Deputy Division Commander and Chief of Staff, I will introduce to you. This Captain Yushenko from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was once the commander of the 8th Guard Division. From now on, he has officially become a member of our Red Flag Independent Division."

When I introduced him to several other division-level commanders, Yushenko stood up from his seat and stood in place with his body straight. Next, when I introduced the division-level members to Yushenko, he didn't say a name, so he saluted the other party, and then stretched out his hands to hold the other party's extended hand.

As soon as I introduced them, Basmanov walked over with a teapot with a smile. I took the teapot from him, held it with both hands and handed it to Yushenko, and said, "Captain Yushenko, I haven't had time to introduce this major to you. He is Major Basmanov, the commander of the guard battalion. He will be your immediate boss from now on."

After I finished speaking, Basmanov explained to me with a smile: "Comrade Commander, we had already introduced ourselves when the captain came just now." But after saying this, he still looked at Yushenko and said politely: "Comrade Captain, let's get to know each other again. I am Major Basmanov, the battalion commander of the Red Flag Independent Division Guard Battalion, welcome you to the Independent Division." As he said that, he reached out to Yushenko.

Yushenko hurriedly placed the tea jar in his hand on the table, raised his hand to salute Basmanov, and then stretched out his hands to hold the other person's hand. At the same time, he said politely: "Hello, Comrade Major."

After the introductions to each other ended, Yushenko suddenly said to me: "Comrade Commander, before coming this time, General Bezikov specially asked me to bring you a gift."

"Gift, what gift?" Although Bezikov and I have a good relationship and have shared life and death, we seem to have never given each other gifts. When I heard Captain Yushenko's words, I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Captain, I don't know what gift General Bezikov asked you to bring?"

Yushenko did not speak, but took off a spear behind him, held it with both hands and handed it to me, and said respectfully: "Comrade Commander, General Bezikov knows that you like this new weapon, and your original gun was lost when Liu Ban broke through, so I specifically asked me to bring you another one."

I was excited to take the assault rifle from Yushenko's hand, which is the famous AK47 assault rifle in later generations. I checked the number on the gun and found that it was actually No. 77. You should know that the number seven is the most auspicious number in Russia. I don't know how much trouble Berjikov took to get this assault rifle. After all, I was an old friend, and I actually gave me such a considerate gift.

"Comrade Commander, what kind of gun is this?" Among the people around, except for Kirillov, who was a political worker, everyone was a real soldier. When they saw this new weapon that they had never seen before, they couldn't help but lit up. Akhromeyev had seen this assault rifle before and was calm. When Bantaileev saw this gun, he was even more happy and snatched the new assault rifle from my hand, checked it over and over again, and asked curiously: "When was this new gun developed? Why have I never seen it before?"

When I saw the assault rifle handed over to me by Yushenko, I was excited for a moment, but then I thought of this weapon beyond this era, once captured by the German army on the battlefield, with their strong military production capacity, it would not take long to copy this new rifle and equip the troops in large quantities. At that time, it would be an unimaginable disaster for the Soviet army. So after hearing the question of Bantaileev, I said worriedly: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, since the launch of this gun may be a major advance in the history of the development of light weapons in the world, its development is absolutely confidential. A batch was produced during the Moscow Defense War, but in order to prevent leakage, only a small number of troops were equipped."

After saying this to Bantaileev, I asked Yushenko again: "Captain, how many such assault rifles have you brought in this time?"

"Assault rifle?!" When Youshenko heard my question, he was stunned at first, and then he understood what I was talking about, which was the new rifle he had just handed me. He quickly replied: "Report to the division commander, we have 121 people this time, each with a new rifle, each with ten magazines."

I thought about it. One magazine holds 30 rounds of bullets, and ten magazines are 300 bullets. Since the bullets used by these assault rifles do not match the bullets we use now, once the bullets are completely destroyed, these guns can only be used as fire sticks.

Bantaileev obviously didn't notice my strangeness and asked me excitedly: "Comrade Commander, do you know what the characteristics of this gun are? So what are its technical parameters?"

I couldn't bear to sweep Bantaileev's interest, so I told him what I knew: "Compared with the current rifle, the gun body is short, the range is short, and the shooting distance is maintained at 300 meters, which is suitable for a closer attack battle. For example, when we were fighting with the Germans in a building, this gun could be used for a big purpose.

The assault rifle adopts the principle of air-guided automatic. The air-guided tube is located above the barrel and pushes the bolt action through the piston. The rotary locking bolt is used. A special short-bottle bullet with a diameter of 7.62 mm, and the arc-shaped magazine holds 30 rounds. The safety/fast and slow machine is on the right side of the receiver. You can choose a semi-automatic or fully automatic launch method, and the puller handle is located on the right side of the receiver. The safety settings are: insurance, full bullet, and semi-automatic.

When charging, our officers and soldiers often pull the speed and slow machine to the bottom in order to overcome their own fears, hold the trigger and shoot all the bullets. The assault rifle only fires one shot, greatly saving bullets and improving safety. Its gun is reliable in action, and even when foreign objects such as dust enter the gun during continuous shooting or when foreign objects such as dust enter the gun, its mechanical structure can still ensure that it continues to work."

After listening to my introduction, Bantai Leev said unsatisfiedly: "I didn't expect this gun to be so powerful. I really want to try the actual combat effect right away?"

After I finished speaking, Leyev poured him a basin of cold water: "Comrade Deputy Commander. Unfortunately, it's dark now, otherwise you can really try the gun."

Unexpectedly, Basmanov said suddenly: "Comrade Commander, there is a moon tonight, and there was heavy snow in the evening, and a layer of it lay on the ground. The light outside is very good now and it will not affect the effect of the gun test at all."

After hearing Basmanov's words, I glared at him fiercely, and wanted to kick him twice. At the same time, I cursed: I didn't realize that this idiot was deliberately ruling, just because I didn't want Bantaileev to test the gun, and even sang the opposite tune with me.

Basmanov also saw the unhappy expression on my face, but he didn't know what he had done wrong. He quickly shut his mouth and stood in front of us with an innocent look on his face. Bantaileev heard that the light outside was good, so he hurriedly pulled Basmanov and was about to walk out.

I thought Kirillov would come out to stop Bantaileev's hasty actions, but when I looked back, I found Kirillov sitting at the table with a blank expression, as if he had not noticed what Bantaileev was going to do. In this case, I could not save the deputy division commander in public, so I had to bite the bullet and ask Basmanov to compensate Bantaileev to test the gun. At the same time, I also ordered Yushenko: "Captain, please go out with Major Basmanov. Let him arrange a residence for you and the commanders and soldiers of the Special Guard Company."

Seeing that Bantai Leyev was about to go out to test the gun, even Akhromeyev could not sit still. He took the initiative to ask me: "Comrade Commander, although I have seen this new type of gun a long time ago, I have never used it. Do you allow me to try the gun with the deputy commander?" I didn't say anything, but just nodded in agreement.

After seeing Bantaileev, Akhromeyev, Basmanov and Yushenko disappear outside the door, Kirillov suddenly called my military rank in a low voice and asked: "Comrade Commander, tell me, what should the superior send us such a special guard company?"

Regarding the guard company sent by the superiors and the company commander who led the team was my former old subordinate, so after hearing the problem of Kirillov, he said for granted: "Comrade Political Commissar, is this more important than to say? Of course, it is to protect the safety of the division headquarters."

Unexpectedly, Kirillov sneered twice and said, "Comrade Oshanina, do you really think they are just here to protect your safety? You must know that they are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In addition to protecting your safety, they must have also accepted the task of surveillance you."

Kirillov's shocking words immediately shocked me out of a cold sweat. During the brutal battle of more than two months, the troops of the Independent Division were approaching the edge of being blinded several times, and I had to put my guard battalion into the battle many times. I thought the guard company sent to me by my superiors was to strengthen the guard power of the Independent Division, but I didn't expect that the latter was sent to monitor me.

I sat in my seat, and my whole body seemed to be drained. At this moment, I felt disappointed. I didn't expect that I would work so hard to defend the northern gate of Stalingrad, but my superiors still didn't trust me and actually sent troops from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to monitor me. In order not to arouse my suspicion, they even sent my former guard company commander.

I sat in the seat and stayed silent for a long time before I woke up. I lowered my voice and asked Kirillov in a voice that only the two of us could hear clearly: "Political Commissar, who do you think they would be sent?"

Kirillov did not answer my question immediately, but asked back: "Comrade Oshenna, please tell me first, who is General Bezikov mentioned by Captain Yushenko?"

"General Bezikov is the commander of the Central Guard Corps. I met when I went to the Kremlin to attend a military meeting." I roughly told the story of myself and Bezikov. As for the part of Stalin's stand-in, I naturally ignored it. I just said vaguely that we were escorting important figures back to the city and encountered the German team that was around the rear of our army. Fortunately, Bezikov could drive and took us successfully out of danger.

After listening to my story, Kirillov thought for a while before he said thoughtfully: "Comrade Oshanina, let's analyze who is the most likely. The matter that the Special Guard Company is about to come to you was told by Khrushchev through Basmanov. Although he is of high level, he has not been able to mobilize the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at will. General Zhukov is currently the deputy commander. He can mobilize the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but with your relationship with him, I believe he will not send someone to monitor you. The only thing left is..." Speaking of this, he did not say anything further, but just stretched out a finger and pointed upward.

I immediately understood his action and knew that he was talking about the Supreme Commander himself. At this moment, I suddenly remembered the plot in the movie I had watched before: Before the counterattack at the city of Stalingrad, Stalin was working in his office one day. Suddenly, a subordinate named Rapliantin ran in and reported to him, and reported solemnly: "Comrade Stalin, based on some materials provided by those arranged by Zhukov, according to reliable information, Zhukov described your victory in the Battle of Moscow as his own credit, and there were signs that he had become arrogant and dared to blatantly accuse your fault."

After hearing this report, Stalin was silent for a long time. Later, considering Zhukov's unsold status, he kept Rapliantin's secret for the time being. However, in this way, a thorn fell into his heart, so that when he implemented the "Operation Uranus" plan, he supported Zhukov, who had made the plan, and did not allow him to participate in commanding the large counterattack under the city of Stalingrad.

After I remembered this, I began to consider whether there was anything that could easily arouse suspicion from my superiors. I really didn't want to know it. I was really shocked when I thought about it. For example, I left the surrendered German officers and soldiers in the army without asking for instructions; I proposed a "water instead of soldiers" plan to blow up the Volga River embankment; Ignoring the orders of the Supreme Command, not only did I not examine the commanders and fighters who had been captured by the German army, but also acted on his own initiative to instigate the two Eastern battalions troops. No matter which one of them, I could send me to a military court or even lose my life.

Thinking of these things I had done, I was a little confused. I looked at Kirillov in front of me and asked nervously: "Comrade Political Commissar, what should I do in the future?"

Kirillov has more experience in this area than me. Seeing that I was so panicked, he quickly stood up and walked to me, raised his hand and patted my shoulder gently, comforted me and said, "Comrade Oshenna, don't worry, since Captain Yushenko is your former subordinate, I believe he will not report information that is not conducive to you to your superiors casually. Anyway, you must remember that if you encounter major events in the future, don't make any decisions. Please ask more instructions and report more, and leave all the troubles to your superiors to solve."

What Kirillov said was a self-protection strategy that the commanders who were temporarily promoted to important positions after the Great Purge, generally adopted. No matter how big or small the matter was, they had to ask their superiors for instructions. Although they did this, they had the effect of protecting themselves, after the war broke out and their contact with their superiors was interrupted, these unintentional commanders were helpless in the face of the surging enemies and only knew how to drive their soldiers to die.

As we were really talking, we suddenly heard the laughter of Bantaireev and Akhromeev coming from the door. It seemed that they had returned from a test shot. Kirillov quickly lowered his voice and said to me: "Comrade Oshenina, you can only know what we said just now. Don't let others know."

Because I saw that Bantaireev and others had entered the command center, I didn't say anything, but just nodded silently to show that I knew.

Bantaireev quickly came to me, put the used assault rifle on the table, and said excitedly: "Comrade Commander, this gun is really great. If we can arm a regiment, then we will have an absolute advantage in street fighting with the German army."

I saw Captain Yushenko standing behind them. Although there was a thorn in his heart, I asked him politely: "Captain Yushenko, has Major Basmanov arranged your resident?"

Youshenko quickly took two steps forward and replied loudly: "Report to the commander, everything has been arranged."

I nodded and then said to him: "Comrade Captain, you must be exhausted after traveling for so many days. Since the major has arranged your residence, then you can go back and rest early." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
