Burning Moscow

That night, Yushchenko and Yevgeny came to report to Kistyakov and I that the leaker had been caught. The leaker was a combat staff officer of the 77th Guards Division. When he went to the archives room to collect information the day before yesterday, he secretly printed the key with an impression when the archiver was not prepared, and then used the key to sneak into the archives room in the middle of the night. Stealing our army's information.

When I heard this news, my first reaction was to make a mistake. Maybe the so-called spies were beaten under the torture of Yevgeny. Therefore, after being silent for a while, I tentatively asked Yushchenko: "Major, are you sure that the person you arrested is the one who leaked our military information?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander, I can't make a mistake." Yushchenko said, took out a bunch of keys from his shoulder bag, put it in front of me, and added: "This is us The keys found on his body, and that he confessed to the crimes he committed during the interrogation."

Looking at the key in front of me, I couldn’t help feeling full of emotions: As a traverser, I always like to make a mistake. I feel that people who deal with me are not as smart as myself, and my thinking is too rigid. Know how to use tactics and often lose certain battles. However, recent facts have shown that this view of mine is very wrong. For example, on the point of how to eliminate internal spies, just picking up a school-level officer will have more experience than me. The reason why I can excel in this era cannot be based on my understanding of the history of later generations. If this factor is removed, I guess that even an ordinary squad leader is inferior.

I picked up the key and looked at it casually, handed it to Kistyakov next to him, then turned to look at Yushchenko and asked, "Major, when was he instigated by the Germans?"

"In early November." Yushchenko reported: "At that time, the 77th Guards Division, under the cover of the tank army, met the German troops who had escaped from Kiev. At that time, the staff officer took two soldiers and captured several soldiers. One of the SS members was an officer in charge of intelligence. The man secretly gave the staff his gold watch and ring while the soldiers were not paying attention. After the staff took the advantage of the Germans, he asked the soldiers to **** the other staff. The captive left, but he quietly released the captive."

"Damn it," I can't help frowning when I hear Yushchenko's words. "This staff member let go of the captives privately. Isn't it true that no one will find out after the battle is over?"

"No one found that this staff member had released the prisoners." Yushchenko continued: "The situation was very chaotic. The mountains and valleys were full of defeated Germans. After the staff members released the prisoners, they arrested several others. The captives were taken back for business, and he cleverly covered up his crime of releasing captives.

When it comes to releasing prisoners privately, I seem to have done this too, so when I heard Yushchenko say that, my face blushed. I quickly turned away from the subject and asked, "Major, he seems to have just released a prisoner privately. He has nothing to do with being instigated?"

"Comrade Commander, I will talk about this next." Yushchenko paused for a moment, seeming to be recalling what was written in the confession, and then continued: "The 77th Guards Division was stationed in Korostviv. Soon, the released SS officer disguised himself and sneaked into the city. After several rounds, he found the staff officer and threatened him. Because the staff was in the hands of the German officer, plus the fact that at the time, Fasti The German army in Russia continued to carry out counter-offensives against Kiev. The staff officers could not see our hope of victory, so they wavered and agreed to the request of the German officers to provide intelligence to the other side."

After taking a sip of the tea on the table, I said with great dignity: "Major, keep talking. I want to know if this staff officer provided any information about our army to the Germans during the defense of Zhitomir. "

"That's not true." Yushchenko said affirmatively: "I have checked with the Chief of Staff of the 77th Guards Division. As a representative of the division, the staff has always stayed at the forefront with the combat troops and has no contact with secrets at all. It was not until our group army withdrew from the Ukrainian region and stationed in Smolensk Oblast, the Germans contacted him again and asked him to find a way to get the strength and garrison of our army."

"How did he pass the information out?" When I said this, I was thinking in my heart that maybe the 77th Guards Division should be transferred away, leaving only one Guards 89th Division in the city.

"Near the division headquarters of the 77th Guards Division, there is a ruin that has not yet been cleaned up. This staff officer hides the stolen information in a corner of the ruin and makes a mark on it. The Germans look at it. After the mark is reached, we will find a way to get the information out."

"Has he seen the German who joined him?" I continued to ask.

Yushchenko nodded slightly: "I've seen it once. The German told him that once he got the information about our army, it would be placed in a designated place and someone would get it. And if you have any instructions, you will also get it. Leave him a note there."

After I heard this, I asked thoughtfully: "So, he doesn't know how many Germans are in Smolensk, and where are these people hiding?"

"I think so." Yushchenko said disapprovingly, "but it doesn't matter. As long as we cut off this leaking channel, it won't be so easy for the Germans to obtain intelligence from our army."

After Yushchenko finished speaking, I turned to look at Yevgeny, who was standing next to him without saying a word. Although Yushchenko also came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has been following me in the North and South for the past two years. His original major is a bit rusty. If you want to solve the lurking Germans in the city once and for all, you can only rely on Yevgeny. Professional: "Comrade Captain, do you have anything to say?"

Hearing my question, Yevgeny hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Comrade General, I think that if you want to eradicate the Germans lurking in the city, you must use this arrested spy."

"Oh, Comrade Captain," Yevgeny's words caught my interest, so I asked with interest, "What are you going to do?"

"We have to block the news that we have caught the German spies, giving the enemies lurking in the city an illusion that we have not even noticed their existence, so that they can move with confidence and boldness." Yevgeny said of himself. In his line of business, he said non-stop: "At the same time, we can allow this staff officer to continue to provide intelligence to the Germans. Of course it is false information after we have reviewed it..."

"Please wait, comrade captain." When I heard him telling the staff to provide false information to the Germans, I couldn't help but have an idea and quickly stopped Evgeny. "This matter is very important. I want to ask my superiors. You And Major Yushchenko avoid it first. After I get a reply from the superior, I will call you again."

After watching the two go out, Kistyakov, who remained silent all the time, said, "Comrade Commander, are you still planning to use this staff member?"

"Yes," I already had a complete plan in my mind. Anyway, there were only two of us in the house, so I felt confident and boldly told Kistyakov: "If we use this staff to make some false Intelligence, deliberately leaked to the Germans, misled their judgments about the situation of the battle, in the next battle, the pressure on us can be greatly reduced." After I said this, Kistyakov still hesitated. Undecided, he quickly added, "Don’t forget, when our army was in the liberation of Kiev, in order to hit the enemy by surprise, we deliberately released false news to make the Germans think that our offensive direction was to the south. Wait for the enemy’s attention. When they were all concentrated in the south, our troops launched an attack from their unexpected north and captured Kiev in the shortest time."

"Since you said that," Kistyakov heard me mention the battle of Kiev, knowing that I had made up my mind, so he couldn't oppose it anymore, so he nodded and reluctantly agreed. "Then call Moscow and look at the top. What does it mean."

Seeing that Kistyakov and I had agreed on their opinions, I went to the high-frequency telephone, picked up the handset and dialed a number, and then said to the operator inside: "Pick me up in Moscow and find Marshal Zhukov!"

After waiting for two or three minutes, when I heard Zhukov’s familiar voice from the receiver, I quickly said politely: "Good evening, Comrade Marshal."

"Lida, what's the matter?" Zhukov knew that I was the kind of person who didn't go to the Palace of the Three Treasures, and he didn't care about greeting me, so he asked straightaway.

"That's it, Comrade Marshal." I quickly told him the leak and some of my plans.

After listening to Zhukov, he was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about my proposal. It was only when I was waiting to lose my patience that I heard him say in a low voice: "Leda, you are very thoughtful, I think you can try. As long as you can firmly control the staff member. Live, so every once in a while, he will provide some mixed information to the Germans, making the Germans mistakenly believe that this is a reliable source of intelligence, so that when our army takes important actions, it can effectively divert the enemy’s information. Attention, let them focus their forces on non-important areas."

After getting Zhukov’s Shangfang Sword, I called Yushchenko and Yevgeny back, and first asked them: "Where are the other commanders participating in the training?" I was afraid that some of their measures would affect the innocent. , Let these valuable staff members be harmed.

"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Yushchenko is the person who understands my heart most. Hearing my question, he knew what I was worried about. He quickly said, "In order to prevent leaks, I temporarily shut them down. stand up."

I thought about it, and then told Yushchenko: "Major, still arrange three days of training for them according to the original plan. After the training is over, let everyone sign a non-disclosure agreement, and then send them back to their respective units. Remember, before they leave, you can hint to them that their superiors will privately inspect the performance of each person, and those who perform well will definitely be promoted to a higher position. Understand?"

"understood."

"Now you go and bring that staff here, I want to talk to him." I also specifically told Yushchenko, "Attention, on the way, don't be seen by others. Because no one can guarantee that we There are no enemy spies in his team."

Ten minutes later, Yushchenko personally walked in with a young officer who was not wearing a military cap and his military uniform looked a bit tattered, plus a bruise on his face.

"It seems that the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really not light." Kistyakov suddenly leaned close to my ear and whispered: "If I hadn't found the key for the preparation from this person, I would be really worried. He was beaten into a move."

The staff officer walked in front of us and suddenly made an unexpected action. He knelt on the ground with a bang, spread his hands, and shouted at us with a desperate expression: "Comrade commanders, Forgive me, I was also forced."

"Huh, I was forced." Kistyakov snorted coldly, and said, "I don't know if you have any handle on the Germans, you will be threatened by him."

"When I caught the German officer, he quietly gave me a watch while the soldiers were not paying attention, and begged me to let him go~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the staff officer fell to the ground and murmured:" I was also greedy for a while, so I sent away the soldier who was following me on the mission, and then let him go. "

"Idiot, you idiot." Kistyakov stood up and pointed to the staff officer who was kneeling on the ground and cursed: "According to the usual practice, you hardly need to turn in what you find from the prisoner. Even if you put him on him. After scouring everything, don’t you need to let him go?"

"I was too confused." The staff officer said with tears and tears: "I saw that it was a very good watch, and coupled with a moment of softness, I let the German officer go. It didn't take long for him to let go. Going into the city in disguise and found me, saying that my watch is actually a camera with filmed film inside. If I don’t cooperate with him, he will report me to his superiors, saying that I am a spy lurking in the army."

Hearing the staff's account, I really want to kick him up. For this kind of threatening enemy, what are you and him polite? Before he pays attention, give him two shots from behind and kill him. Just use it. Do you have to be threatened by the other party? But from this point, I think my plan is feasible. As long as the staff members know that if they want to continue to live, they must choose to continue cooperating with us, otherwise it will be a dead end.

Thinking of this, I coughed heavily, and then asked: "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" (To be continued.)
