Burning Moscow

Hearing what I said, the staff officer who thought it was inevitable was like grabbing a life-saving straw and nodding like garlic and replied: "Comrade Commander, I want to live, of course I want to live."

"Since you want to live, that's easy. By the way, Major Yushchenko," I was about to call the staff officer's name, but unexpectedly discovered that I still don't know who his last name is, so I quickly looked at him. Turning to Yushchenko, he asked a little embarrassed: "What's his name?"

"Semenov," Yushchenko quickly replied, "His name is Semenov, and he is a lieutenant of the 77th Guards Division."

After knowing the name and rank of the staff officer, I nodded, then lowered my head and said to the staff officer: "Lieutenant Semenov, since you want to say it, then you must do what I do. I need you to continue. Provide intelligence to the Germans..."

Before I finished speaking, he waved his hand desperately and said: "Don't dare, Comrade Commander, I never dare to disclose the secrets of our army to the Germans."

Yushchenko may not be able to understand his stubborn manner. He raised his hand and slapped him on the back of his head. He said angrily: "When Comrade Commander speaks, you are not allowed to just interject."

Semenov, who was slapped, immediately became honest. He nodded and said to me: "Comrade Commander, please go on and say, I will never interrupt you again."

I first smiled at Yushchenko, and then said to Semenov: "Lieutenant, I think you also understand in your heart what you will be punished for what you did. But if you think of your first offense, it has caused us. The impact is not too great, so after the research of the leaders of the group army, we decided to deal with you lightly. We will hand you a piece of information every once in a while, and then you will provide the information to the Germans. If you do well, When we discuss the merits and rewards in the future, we will completely exempt you from punishment; but if there is any mistake, hum hum hum..." I deliberately hummed a few times, "When the time comes, we will all sin, not just you. You will be sentenced to capital punishment, and even your relatives will be sent to labor camps in Siberia. Do you understand?"

"I see, I understand, Comrade Commander." Semenov, who wanted to redeem his sins, patted his chest and assured me, "Don't worry, I will never let you down."

After listening to his statement, I called Yevgeny over and told him: "Comrade Captain, from now on, Lieutenant Semenov will hand it over to you Secretko. When there is any information that needs to be disclosed to the Germans in the future , I will ask someone to give you the information, and then he will pass it on."

After watching Yevgeny and Semenov leave, Kistyakov asked with some worry: "Comrade Commander, will you be too risky if you do this?"

"Comrade Deputy Commander, we have to take this risk." Regarding Kistyakov's concerns, I reluctantly said: "Actually I also want to kill the German spies lurking in the city, but in the current situation Next, it’s almost impossible. Even if we conduct a city-wide search, they only need to find a ruin to hide, and we won’t be able to find them at all."

"Didn't you arrange for Captain Razumeyeva and Secretko to work together to find the German radio location?" Kistyakov asked unwillingly: "Is there no enemy hiding place like this?"

I really can't laugh or cry about Kistiakov's assumptions. If the city had not been damaged too much by the Germans, once an enemy's telegram was found in a certain area, as long as troops were sent to blockade the area and conduct door-to-door searches, it might be possible to catch the German spy who sent the report. But now the residents who returned to the city lived in simple houses or tents built on the ruins, even if we found the area where the enemy sent the report and surrounded it. But as long as we start the search, the German National People's Congress can hide the transmitter in a certain ruin, and then hide in a certain room. Our fighters will not be able to catch people at all. Instead, they will start to make the enemy more even more. cautious.

I organized a vocabulary in my head, and then said unhurriedly: "Comrade Deputy Commander, the conditions for catching and reporting spies are not yet mature. We deliberately pretended to be nonchalant, as if we didn’t know our army’s The information is leaked out, which can paralyze the enemy. When their vigilance is lowered and the location of the report is completely fixed, we will take action, and the success rate will be greatly improved."

When I said this, Kistyakov immediately recovered. He nodded and said: "I understand, it seems that you have been thoughtful."

At this moment, I suddenly remembered that since the entire leak, Kirilov and Bezikov have not shown up yet. Bezikov, I know that he went to Vyazma to deal with the newly arrived supplies, and he would not be able to return within a day or two. But Kirilov took the members of the tour group and wandered around the city. Why didn't he come back so late? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curiously asked Kistyakov: "Comrade Deputy Commander, I don't know when the military commissioner will come back?"

"In the afternoon, he called me and said that he would accompany the condolence team to the Katyn Forest." At this point, Kistyakov said with some indignation: "It is clear that the Germans killed tens of thousands of people. The Polish officer was buried in the Katyn Forest, but it was planted to us, so Comrade Military Commissioner took everyone to the scene to see, so that the rumors can be debunked."

When Kistyakov said this, I just picked up a cup of water and saw him talking about the angry expression of Katyn Forest. I accidentally coughed violently.

Seeing that I was coughing out of breath, Kistyakov hurriedly asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, what's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

I waved my hand quickly and coughed and said: "It's okay, I just got caught in the water cavity by accident." When the cough was not so severe, I tentatively asked about Katyn: "Comrade Deputy Commander, Katyn What's the matter with the forest?"

"Don't you know?" Seeing that I didn't seem to know anything about the Katyn Forest, Kistiakov explained to me patiently: "In mid-April this year, Nazi Germany announced that it was in the Katyn Forest. A large number of Polish soldiers were found dead and claimed that the massacre was ours. Our country immediately denied such nonsense and counterattacked, exposing the truth that Nazi Germany was trying to cover up to the world. Although we have already refuted the rumors, the rumors spread by the Germans are still spread in various forms in China. All the condolences visiting this time want to take the opportunity to clarify the truth of the matter and announce it to the people of the whole country."

Hearing what he said, my heart couldn't help but smile again and again. Regarding the Katyn tragedy, I have read the declassified relevant materials before crossing. It can be said that in this era, apart from the organization and the participants, I know the truth best. The reason why the Soviets wanted to execute these Polish prisoners of war was that they were a great burden to themselves: on the one hand, the Soviet Union had to consume precious manpower and material resources for them in the intensive preparation for war; on the other hand, Polish prisoners of war might resist at any time. The imprisonment of the Soviet army decided to dispose of the officers among the Polish prisoners of war first. Eliminate the officers, and the rest of the soldiers will be in a situation where there is no leader.

Relevant parties in the Soviet Union believe that the best way is to eliminate them from the army. On March 5, 1940, Beria, the Soviet NKVD, wrote a report on the execution of more than 20,000 prisoners of war and prisoners, mainly Polish officers, and submitted it to Stalin and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for approval. Approved.

In early April 1940, the execution of Polish prisoners of war officially began. Hundreds of captured Polish officers were taken in cars from the three prison camps mentioned above and transported secretly to the Katyn Forest where they were executed. The executioners stood behind the Polish prisoners of war and shot their pistols in the back of their heads. After the burial, Soviet personnel spread a thick layer of soil on it. Soon, the second batch of prisoners of war was transported to the place to be treated in the same way. In just one and a half months, more than 20,000 people were massacred.

I secretly guessed that the reason why the visiting group came here to understand the truth of the matter may be because the headquarters of the People's Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was established in Smolensk before the war.

Although I know what the truth is, I can’t say it. I can only say vaguely: "Comrade Deputy Commander, the real can’t be faked, and the fake can’t be real. The truth will always be clear.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Akhromeyev come in from outside with a piece of paper. He came to me and handed me the paper in his hand. At the same time, he said: "Comrade Commander, I just received a telegram from a superior to supplement our tanks. Thirty new tanks will pass by the railway tomorrow. The transport arrived in Smolensk and they prepared us to receive the equipment."

After I finished reading it, I handed the telegram to Kistyakov, and then told Akhromeyev to say: "Major, you call General Bely and ask him to send tank soldiers to receive new equipment."

After Kistyakov read the telegram, his face showed joy: "Comrade Commander, this is really great. Originally I thought it would be inconvenient for road transportation, and it will take at least half a month for the tanks to be added to us. I didn’t expect it to be delivered by rail so soon.” After he finished speaking, he handed the telegram back to Akhromeyev and urged, “Major, hurry up and call Sergeant Berei. I guess he will wait here. The batch of tanks waited until the hair was almost white."

Thirty new tanks, when I think of the tanks that will be delivered tomorrow, my heart is full of emotion: Froning, a senior engineer in the military factory, can be described as non-human. It's nothing that he can draw the drawings of ak47; importantly, he can also draw all the tank drawings of the Soviet army in 50 or 60 years. If it is not because of insufficient existing production technology to produce the engines required for the updated tanks and the special steel plates that meet the standards, it is estimated that the tanks equipped with troops today are not only t-54/55 tanks, but directly on t- There are 62 tanks. Even if they use 40 rocket launchers to attack at a distance of 100 meters, they cannot penetrate the frontal armor, let alone the iron fists or anti-tank guns used by the Germans. Even if you encounter German Tiger and Panther tanks, you can hit a group one by one.

When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Kistyakov say: "Comrade Commander, this new type of tank of our army, if it is not because of insufficient production capacity to fully equip the troops, the enemy's armored troops will not be able to survive. Contend against us on the local battlefield."

"During the Battle of Kursk, we equipped a company with a new tank. Even if it went to a tank battalion of the German army, we did not lose the wind." Thinking of the series of brilliant achievements of the new tank during the Battle of Kursk The result of the battle, I can’t help but say with emotion: “If it were not for the shortage of shells for the new tanks in the later period, we would not have paid such a high price in large-scale tank battles with the enemy.”

After talking about the new tanks, we went on to talk about the assault rifles that the troops had already installed. Before I knew it, time passed by minute by minute, and I was so engaged in chatting that I didn't even notice it at dawn.

In the end, Kirilov, who suddenly walked into the headquarters, interrupted us: "Hey, why did you two come to the headquarters so early today?"

I looked up and saw Kirilov, then smiled and nodded at him, and said: "Comrade Military Commissioner, when are you coming back?"

"Just came back from Katyn by car." Kirilov replied.

"Where is the factory condolences group you accompanied?" Kistyakov asked quickly.

"Let’s go, I’ll be back to Moscow this morning." Kirilov finished answering this question~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and asked strangely: "It looks like you talked here all night last night. I don’t know what’s good. , Can make you two forget the time?"

Hearing that the consolation team had left, Kistyakov couldn't help but said with concern: "They are now back to Moscow, and the team is on the road during the day. Is this safe?"

"Don't worry, Comrade Deputy Commander." Kirilov said disapprovingly: "Now there are our military's fighters in the sky patrolling uninterruptedly. The enemy's planes will be expelled as soon as they appear." Soon he changed the topic to the question just now, "By the way, you haven't said any good things that can make you feel tired after talking all night. Come and listen."

"That's it, Comrade Military Commissioner." Kistyakov smiled and said to Kirilov: "The superior informed us that today there are 30 new tanks that will arrive in Smolensk by rail. Let us send troops to receive new tanks."

"What, the new tank will arrive today?" Kirilov couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the news. He had just sat down, but now stood up again, and said to the two of us: "There is nothing wrong now anyway. Let's all go to the railway station to see things." (To be continued.)
