Burning Moscow

As Xie Liujin left, Kistyakov's face suddenly became serious.

"What's the matter with you, Comrade Deputy Commander?" I found it strange to see Kistyakov's face suddenly changed, so I quickly asked: "Is there something missing when I just deployed the mission? ?"

Unexpectedly, Kistyakov suddenly said coldly: "Comrade Commander, you are making trouble for yourself, do you know?"

I don't understand why Kistyakov would say this suddenly, and I couldn't help looking at him blankly, and for a while I didn't know what to say.

But fortunately, Bezikov asked me in time to clear the siege. He asked unconvincedly: "Comrade Deputy Commander, why do you say that? I think the commander’s combat plan is quite detailed. There is nothing wrong with it. ."

"I'm not talking about the battle plan," Kistyakov waved his hand to Bezikov impatiently, then looked at me and asked: "Comrade Commander, I ask you, which front army our army belongs to today. ?"

"We belong to..." As soon as I spoke, I realized that Kistyakov's question was really unanswerable. We have broken away from Vatutin's Ukrainian First Front Army. Although we have been saying that we will be incorporated into the Belarusian Front, there is no official order yet.

Just when I was dumbfounded, Kistyakov asked again: "You mobilized troops to participate in the battle without asking your superiors for instructions. Then have you thought about it, once the superiors track down," What kind of punishment will you face?"

Kistyakov's words scared me into a cold sweat. That's right, although I have enough troops now, I really don't have the right to dispatch troops to support anyone until I get permission from my superiors. If everyone is like me, then there is nothing wrong with it.

Just as I was considering whether to suspend Seryukin and the tank brigade, Rokosovsky called me again. He asked anxiously on the phone: "Lida, what's the situation with you, have reinforcements been dispatched?"

"The troops are being assembled." After I said this, I hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Comrade General, I want to ask, if I arbitrarily deploy troops to support you like this, wouldn't I make any mistakes?"

"What mistake will be made?" Rokosovsky asked puzzledly. But he was a wise man, and he quickly understood the purpose of my question, and quickly said: "I've got an anger with Marshal Zhukov about this matter in advance. Why, didn't he tell you?"

"No, I haven't received a call from Comrade Marshal today." Although Rokosovsky's words gave me a lot of peace of mind, in order to avoid the situation Kistyakov said, I still euphemistically Remind him: "The army of Zhlobin has almost completed its assembly and can wait for the car to depart at any time. However, our group army does not belong to any front army establishment. If you want to send troops to strengthen you, you may need to go some more. program."

"I understand," Rokosovsky said understandingly: "Although your group army will be included in the Belarusian Front sooner or later, there is no official order to issue it yet. I am actually violating the regulations to dispatch your troops like this. Well, I will call Marshal Zhukov and ask him to immediately issue an official order to include you in my front army."

Seeing me put down the phone, Bezikov immediately asked: "Comrade Commander, how is it, what did General Rokosovsky say, do you want to include our group army in his army? "

I nodded and said, "Yes, Comrade General said that he will immediately contact Marshal Zhukov and let Marshal formally issue an order to incorporate us into the Belarusian Front." When I said this, I turned my head and looked at Kistyakov. Smiling and said, "Comrade Deputy Commander, as long as you have this official order, you can rest assured?"

Kistyakov nodded vigorously, and Kendi said: "Yes, Comrade Commander. Before this order, we sent troops to support General Rokosovsky, and we transferred our troops without asking for instructions. After the order, it was logical for General Rokosovsky to send us to any place."

After saying these more slurred words, he asked me for instructions: "We are letting General Xie Liujin's troops board the vehicle now, or wait for the formal order to be issued before letting them board the vehicle."

I know the efficiency of the Russians very well. If we really have to wait for the official order to enroll us in the Belarusian Front before boarding the car, when we arrive in Zhilobin, it is estimated that the daylilies will be cold, so I decisively Said to Kistyakov: "The front-line situation is very unfavorable to our army. The reinforcements must rush to support them as soon as possible. It is better to let Xie Liujin and the others board the vehicle on time, instead of waiting for your order."

I then instructed Bezikov: "Chief of Staff, the 89th Guards Division is relatively rushed, and the commanders and fighters carry limited ammunition. I will give you full responsibility for the transportation of this ammunition."

"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Bezikov assured me, patting his chest, "The ammunition needed by the 89th Guards Division will be transported to Zhilobin along with the second batch of reinforcements. "

Kirilov, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, interrupted and said, “Lida, since Zhilobin is the seat of General Batov’s 65th Army, I believe they should have sufficient ammunition. Instead of letting ammunition take up so much of the wagon~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's better to use all of them to transport soldiers, so that we can put more troops into battle in the shortest time."

Hearing Kirilov's words, Bezikov stopped when he was about to give orders. He also seemed to be moved by Kirilov's words. I watched him open his mouth. Although he didn't make a sound, I could guess that he might be trying to persuade me to take Kirilov's suggestion.

I coughed softly, and then said to Kirilov, Kistyakov and Bezikov: "Everyone should understand that the assault rifles of the 89th Guards Division are not all All of the troops have been installed. If we don’t plan ahead and ship the ammunition they need to Zhilobin first, but instead pin our hopes on the friendly forces, once the battle begins, the troops who cannot get ammunition supplies will be We were defeated by the German army because of the lack of ammunition and food. We absolutely did not allow this to happen, so it is imperative to deliver ammunition for the participating troops."

"I see, Comrade Commander," Bezikov nodded after figuring out what I was doing. "I'm going to arrange the transportation of ammunition."

The official order to place our army under Rokosovsky’s command. It was not until the evening that a special messenger boarded the plane to deliver the documents signed by Zhukov himself. By this time, it had been more than six hours for Seliujin’s troops to leave. . (To be continued.)
