Due to Ublich's propaganda of the German army and the power shown by our artillery, the German army in the office building became weak and morale. When our army rushed into the building, many windows shot out white flags. The battle of our army in the building also went very smoothly. Except for a few stubborn elements who fought desperately, the rest of the soldiers immediately raised their hands to surrender as soon as they saw our commanders and fighters rushing over.

When the German prisoners were escorted by our soldiers and walked out of the building one after another, I saw Ubrich and Captain Beckman leaving the corner where he had just been shouting and walking towards me, so I hurriedly came over.

I held Ublich's hand and said gratefully: "Comrade Ublich, thank you. If your call had not disintegrated the morale of the German army, we probably wouldn't have taken down the office building so easily."

"Comrade Oshanina, you are so polite. This is what I should do." Ubrich replied with a smile: "I just talked to this captain and knew that he surrendered to the Soviet army and received preferential treatment in the division. It is amazing that you can at least save many soldiers' lives." Speaking of this, he let go of my hand, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, and then said: "Look, it's getting late, and I have to go somewhere else, so I won't talk to you. See you, I hope we will have a chance to meet in the future."

Looking at his departure back, I vaguely felt something was wrong. He seemed to have something in his words. If I leave Beckman and other surrendered officers and soldiers in the division, I can save many soldiers' lives. What is the connection between the two?

Before I could come up with a reason, Beckman said first, "Comrade Commander, do you think what Ublich said is a bit profound?" Seeing that I nodded and expressed affirmation, he added, "If you hadn't taken us in, we would have been sent to the prisoner-of-war camp. I just don't say what the situation is there, and I believe you know what it is. How many years are there in such an environment? In the end, how many people can return to their hometown alive is really an unknown."

After hearing Beckman's explanation, I realized in my heart that what Ublich was saying was. Looking at Beckman with a expressionless face, I raised my hand and patted him gently on the shoulder, comforting him and said, "Captain, don't worry, at most two years. You can return to your hometown safely."

When Beckman heard what I said, his face showed an incredible expression. He asked in surprise: "Comrade Commander, are you all saying true? Can my subordinates and I still return to Germany alive?"

"Yes, comrade Captain." I answered with certainty, "The German troops surrounded by Stalingrad will soon be destroyed by us. Once the enemies here are resolved, we will be freed to reinforce other battlefields and eliminate all the enemies that invade our borders. When the war is over, you will be able to return to Germany safely."

More than an hour later, Xiejierikov came to report to me that the Germans in the factory had been completely wiped out. Then I used a group of phones to report the results of the "Red October" factory to Cui Kov.

When Cui Kefu heard me say that he had wiped out the enemies in the factory and successfully recaptured the "Red October" factory, he cheered in the microphone excitedly. After being happy for a while, he solemnly told me: "Comrade Oshanina, use your existing forces to strengthen the fortifications in the factory, increase the defense power, and ensure that the factory will not be occupied by the German army again."

When I heard Cui Kefu's order to strengthen our defense rather than continue the attack, I was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Comrade Commander, you asked us to establish defense in the factory. Don't you plan to continue the depth of the German army?"

"The mission is clear. Comrade Oshanina, first stick to the existing position," Cui Kefu repeated his order to me again. Then he continued to say: "While you stick to the position, you should organize more capable teams to suddenly and quickly counterattack and constantly erode the German positions. Continue to restrain and consume their living power and technical weapons." Perhaps in order to let me understand why he issued such an order, he also added: "Due to the drop in temperature, the ice transportation line is basically stable, and the materials and troops gathered on the east coast are now driving from the ice to the city. We are accumulating strength and waiting for the right time to give the German thunder strike, which is exhausted, and will definitely completely eliminate them."

"I understand, Comrade Commander," after listening to Cui Kefu's arrangement, I quickly replied: "I will arrange to draw troops from each division to form a capable combat squad."

After finishing the call with Cuikov, I immediately ordered Yushenko to call Sokolov, Guriyev, and Xiejrikov and others to convey Cuikov's orders to them. Then I began to arrange the formation of a capable team. Since the 39th Guards Division currently has limited troops and could not draw personnel to form a small team, I handed over the defense work on the west and north sides of the factory to Guriyev. Sokolov and Xiejrikov's troops each transferred a battalion to form a capable combat team in platoons to fight close combat with the German troops entrenched in the city, and gradually eroded the area they occupied.

Because the commanders and fighters of the first regiment had rich combat experience, they achieved considerable results in the next few days of battle. They could occupy one or two blocks almost every day, clear out all the German troops, and compress their positions bit by bit.

On the evening of December 31st, I was considering whether the New Year was coming. Should I send something to the soldiers for the holidays? Suddenly, I received a call from Cui Kefu himself. He said excitedly on the phone: "Comrade Oshaninna, I order you to rush to the Army Command immediately. If there are important things to explain to you!"

"We?!" Because I heard Cui Kefu say "you" on the phone, not "you", and it proved that there must be other people who went to his headquarters besides me, so I asked hurriedly: "Comrade Commander, I don't know who else is going to the Army Command besides me?"

"In addition to you, call the political commissar Kirillov, deputy division commander Taileev and the leaders of each regiment. As for the division command center, it will be handed over to the chief of staff Major Akhromeyev, and the command power of each regiment will be temporarily handed over to the deputy regiment commander or political commissar to be responsible."

When I heard that Cui Kefu was going to call so many of us to a meeting at one time, I couldn't help but feel excited. I was thinking about what happened and why did so many people suddenly recruit to a meeting? Although I was full of doubts, I still honestly summoned all the commanders to a meeting.

Several regiment commanders who suddenly received the order came from their command post in panic. The first one to arrive was Lieutenant Colonel Oleg. As soon as he entered the division command, he asked loudly: "Comrade Commander, do you have any important combat missions to call us back from the frontline at this time?"

Instead of answering his question, I asked him to sit down and continue to wait for the other leaders. The leaders of the third, fourth and first regiments came one after another. When entering the door, they asked the same questions as Oleg, but I just smiled and asked them to sit down and wait, avoiding the reason why they were called together.

After seeing everyone arrive, I announced in public: "Comrades Commanders, I have summoned everyone here today because I received a call from Commander Cui Kefu and asked me to take you to the Group Army Command to attend an important meeting."

"Attend the meeting?!" As soon as I finished speaking, the four regiment commanders began to whisper, "Why did the commander convene the meeting at this time? Do you think our attack speed is too slow now? Probably not. Our Fourth Regiment has been very good recently. In addition to killing thousands of German soldiers, he also captured at least five or six hundred prisoners and recaptured seven streets."

"Yes, our group fought well," said Siejrikov, after Geedar Desert, he began to perform his merits: "With the cooperation of friendly forces, our group seized eleven streets. He also killed and injured more than 2,000 German soldiers. As for the prisoners sent out, there were at least thousands of them."

"I think it shouldn't be a matter of this." The second regiment commander Oleg said thoughtfully: "Tomorrow is the New Year. Is it related to the distribution of more benefits to the soldiers?"

"This is impossible," said Lieutenant Colonel Kosgar. "As far as I know, the warehouse controlled by Commander Choikov himself had been empty for a long time. Maybe there was no good stuff to everyone."

"Okay, don't say it anymore." I was afraid that they would not finish speaking, so I interrupted their words in time and said dissatisfiedly: "What does the commander ask us to do? When the army headquarters is clear, everything will be clear. Don't chat and prepare to set off." Speaking of this, I turned around and explained to Akhromeyev, who was sitting at the table, and said, "Comrade Chief of Staff, the military chiefs in the division and regiment are not in the army. If there is anything, I will rely on you all."

Akhromeev quickly stood up and expressed his opinion to me, "Please rest assured, my teacher, I will definitely do my job well."

I nodded, then turned around and waved to the commanders standing in front of me, and said loudly: "Go!"

Since we don’t have to worry about German air strikes and artillery attacks, we went to the Army Command this time, no longer walking, but all of them took jeeps.

Halfway through the way, Kirillov, who was always nervous in his heart, asked me worry: "Comrade Oshaninna, what would happen if Comrade Cui Kev asked us to go to the Army Command?"

I shook my head and said regretfully: "I'm sorry, Comrade Political Commissar, I really don't know what the commander summoned so many of us to the headquarters to do. Fortunately, the road is not too far, and the answer will be revealed soon."

When our convoy arrived at the commander's entrance, the person who came out to greet us was Colonel Witkov, the deputy chief of the army. When he saw me get off the jeep, he immediately greeted me with joy and said politely: "Comrade Deputy Commander, you are here. Comrade Commander has been waiting for you in his command center for a long time. I will take you there now."

Under Colonel Vetkov's leadership, we came outside Trikov's new command department. I looked from the door and saw that there were quite a few people you did. At the table were Trikov, Gurov, Krelov and Vasilyev. On the bench opposite them, there were several division commanders or brigade commanders who had dealt with me.

When he heard Colonel Vetkov report that we were waiting at the door, Trekov stood up from the table and waved to us, "Comrade Oshenina, Comrade Kirillov, you are here! Don't stand outside the door, come in quickly!"

I took my own group of subordinates to quickly walk into Cuikov's command center, and raised my hand to salute the senior commanders sitting at the table. After I saw the division commanders and brigade commanders posed a few benches next to them. When I was about to walk over with Kirillov and the others to sit, I heard Gurov's voice: "Comrade Oshenina, come to me!"

Hearing the voice of the military committee member, I quickly stopped and rushed to Kirillov, who was walking beside me, smiled apologetically, then walked around behind him and came to Grov. Grov pointed to the empty seat beside Vasiliev, and said with a smile: "Comrade Oshenina, sit with Comrade Director of the Political Department."

After everyone sat down, Cui Kefu stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "Comrade Commander, tomorrow is the New Year. I will call you here to express my New Year's greetings to everyone first, and at the same time I sincerely say: Happy New Year!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a "Happy New Year" blessing sounded from below.

After he waited for the quietness below, he continued to say mysteriously: "Next, I will give the commanders present an unexpected New Year gift. We received an order from the Supreme Command this afternoon, saying that in order to strengthen the command of the troops, we decided to restore the infantry army that was abolished by the end of 1941. It is honored that our army has a quota for establishing an army-level unit." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Krelov, and smiled and ordered: "Comrade Chief of Staff, please read the orders of the Supreme Command to everyone!"

Krelov nodded, then picked up a piece of paper on the table and stood up. Seeing the chief of staff of the group army stand up, I secretly guessed in my heart: There are many guard divisions in Stalingrad City at present. Could it be that a guard army is set up? Thinking about it again, other troops are all units with official numbers. If an infantry army is established, my division might be split into various guard divisions. When I think about it this way, I feel a little nervous.

Krelov read out loudly: "The Supreme Command decided to form the 79th Infantry Army, the 79th Infantry Army, the 84th Infantry Division of Major General Oshenina, the 84th Infantry Division of Colonel Gurdiev, the 115th Infantry Brigade of Colonel Andrewshenko, the 124th Infantry Brigade of Colonel Gorokhov, the 149th Infantry Brigade of Colonel Borvinov, and the 84th Tank Brigade of Colonel Bere, the 79th Infantry Army."

When I heard the number of the 79th Infantry Army, I was almost so thundered that I sat directly on the ground. Isn’t this the unit that later occupied the Capitol and planted the red flag on the roof? You should know that the flag of the 150th Division of the army is the first victory flag that appears every Red Square parade.

With so many troops forming an army, I wonder who would be the commander? Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but fly to the group of commanders sitting next to me, looking at this one who seemed to be the commander, and looking at the other one who also felt that it was possible to become the commander. Just when I was absent-minded, I suddenly heard my name clearly from Krelov's mouth: "... Major General Oshenina, the commander of the 79th Infantry Army, and the political commissar, is also the military commissioner, Vasiliev, the director of the Political Department of the Group Army..."

Before I could wake up from my shock, I heard Krelov announce again: "...The number of the Red Flag Division will be officially changed to the 150th Red Flag Division from now on...."

When I heard this number that I was just chanting in my heart, I was actually awarded a teacher. I felt like I was dreaming. I secretly pinched my thighs and the pain that came immediately told me clearly: This is not a dream, but a real thing that happened. (To be continued.
