The collective promotion of the commanders and fighters of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to the first rank is completely within the authority of the army headquarters. Lunev quickly drafted the promotion order and handed it to Sokov for signature: "Comrade Commander, the order has been drafted, please sign it."
Sokov took over the promotion order from Lunev and did not sign his name immediately. Instead, he carefully checked the list to avoid any mistakes.
"Comrade Commander," Samyko came over and suggested to Sokov: "Since you want to promote the ranks of the commanders and fighters of the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion, why not promote the rank of Major Guchakov as well. No matter what He is the commander of the 73rd Infantry Brigade, with the rank of major, and he always seems a bit nondescript."
Before Sokov could speak, Lunev agreed: "Yes, every time the headquarters holds a military meeting, Guchakov squeezes among a group of colonels or generals, and I'm afraid he feels very awkward. I think since the headquarters has The right to be promoted to military rank, why not just promote him as well."
According to Lunev's idea, Sokov and Guchakov have a good personal relationship and will definitely not refuse his proposal. Unexpectedly, Sokov's answer a moment later surprised him: "Comrade Military Commissar, you are right. Our headquarters does have the right to be promoted to military rank. But according to my authority, the most I can do is promote him to the rank of mid-level. Colonel, and with the military exploits he has established, just being promoted to lieutenant colonel is not enough."
Samyko understood what Sokov meant, and planned to wait for a while, and when the time was right, he would ask his superiors to directly promote Guchakov to colonel. Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "Comrade Commander, after hearing what you said, I also think we should wait. If Guchakov is promoted to lieutenant colonel at this time, then when our army breaks through the German army's third At the Niebo River Defense Line, when rewards are prepared based on merit, he will no longer be eligible for promotion to the military rank. As a result, I don’t know how long it will take before he can be promoted to the rank of colonel again."
Samyko's words set the tone for the whole matter. If Guchakov is promoted to a certain title now, he will not be able to do these things when he is awarded a title in the near future. Lunev said helplessly: "Well, since that's the case, let's just discuss the promotion and decoration of the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion today. By the way, I haven't informed Colonel Chuvasov yet, so now call him."
After saying that, Lunev dragged the telephone in front of him, cranked the crank on the base a few times, picked up the microphone and put it to his ear and said: "I am Lunev, help me pick up the 98th Guards." Division Headquarters.”
When the operator heard that it was Lunev on the phone, he didn't dare to neglect. He immediately connected him to the headquarters of the 98th Guards Division in the shortest possible time.
When the call came through, the person who answered the phone was not the division commander, Colonel Chuvashov, but the chief of staff, Uzakov: "Hello, Comrade Military Commissar, I am the chief of staff, Uzakov. What instructions do you have?"
"An hour ago, four German bombers broke into the sky over the city." Lunev said into the microphone: "The women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion of your division successfully shot down two bombers. This is an amazing victory. You must report to your superiors promptly."
Hearing Lunev's praise, Uzakov couldn't help but beam with joy: "Comrade Military Commissar, I will convey your praise to the Women's Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion as soon as possible."
"No need to tell you, Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov." Unexpectedly, Lunev interrupted his subsequent thoughts: "It won't be long before Comrade Commander and I will go to the Women's Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion. If you have any questions, I will I will tell them face to face."
Hearing that Luniev and Sokov were going to the Women's Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, Uzakov couldn't help but panic. He asked nervously: "Comrade Military Commissar, I wonder what you are doing in the Women's Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion?"
"I just said that they achieved good results in today's air defense operations." Lunev said with a smile: "Comrade Commander and I went there to commend them, so you don't have to worry about this. .”
When Uzakov heard what Lunev said, he felt much more at ease. Although Lunev is the military commissar of the group army, because he is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the commanders at all levels below are still very afraid of him. Now that he said that he would personally commend the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion, he must not be joking with himself. But to be on the safe side, he asked tentatively: "Comrade Military Commissioner, I don't know when you will go to the Women's Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion. The division commander and I can wait for you there in advance."
Lunev did not object to Uzakov's proposal. He said into the microphone: "Okay. But before you go to the women's anti-aircraft artillery camp, there is one thing that needs to be done."
"whats the matter?"
