Burning Moscow

After listening to Akhromeyev’s report, I nodded and said: “The Germans knew that we had captured Kalinkovic. After being hit hard, the army was unable to pursue the retreating troops. (biqiwu's pinyin) But they may not have dreamed that after we captured the city, we could mobilize our troops to pounce on them in such a short period of time. "

"As long as Lieutenant Colonel Lukin's troops can hold this enemy," Kistyakov said thoughtfully: "Then we may wipe out this enemy from Moziri."

"That's right, Comrade Deputy Commander. The more enemies we eliminate here, the less pressure we will face when we attack Mozili in the future." Having said that, I once again told Akhromeev: "Major. , And then sent a report to Lieutenant Colonel Lu Jin, ordering him not to launch a final attack on the besieged enemy, and to concentrate his forces on the enemy who is preparing to retreat to Moziri."

"What, attack the enemy?" Hearing this order of mine, Bezikov's reaction was the strongest. He was afraid of my faint move, and quickly persuaded me: "Comrade Commander, Master Lukin is here. There were heavy casualties in the battle. Even if all the forces were concentrated to attack the besieged troops, it would be a bit difficult. How could they actively attack the main force of the German army?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander, I think the Chief of Staff is right." Kistyakov agreed with Bezikov's statement and persuaded me: "Lieutenant Colonel Lukin has too few troops, and he has launched an attack on the main German army. The attack is a bit too risky, otherwise let them cooperate with the friendly forces to continue to attack the besieged German army."

I waited for Kistyakov to finish, and then slowly said: "Deputy commander, chief of staff, if we only attack the besieged German army, then the main German army in front of our army may take the opportunity to slip away. , Retreat back to Mozili. If we let go of this enemy, we will pay a higher price when we attack Mozili."

"However, Lukin's troops are really too few." Kistyakov still tried to persuade me to change my mind.

I shook my head and said, "Comrade Deputy Commander, have you forgotten that several of our divisions are rushing to the west of the city at the fastest speed, preparing to annihilate this German army from Moziri with Division Lukin? Did I ask Master Lu Jin to attack, do you want him to contain the enemy and prevent the enemy from escaping so easily."

"It turned out to be like this, I understand." After Bezikov said this, he made a gesture to Akhromeyev who was standing next to him, and motioned to him to give Lu Jinfa according to my intentions. Newspaper. He then said to me: "Comrade Commander, I will also report to the two division commanders of Nekrasov and Chernov, urging them to speed up their march and join Lukin as soon as possible, leaving this German army behind. ."

"Go, Chief of Staff." Seeing that Bezikov understood my intentions, I nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "While you urge the two division commanders to speed up the march, you must make them understand the elimination of this German army. The meaning of troops."

While Bezikov’s telegram was still waiting for a call back, Akhromeyev had already returned to me and reported to me: "Comrade Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Lukin called back. He said that he was long before your order was issued. , Leaving one regiment and the infantry regiment of the 52nd Guards Division surrounded the enemy that broke through the line of defense, and then he let the other two regiments attack the main German forces under the cover of the tank brigade."

After listening to Akhromeyev’s report, Kistyakov snatched the telegram. After reading it carefully twice, he raised his head and looked at me, and asked in a little surprise: "Comrade Commander, I don’t understand. . Reserve troops to surround the enemy who broke through our defense line, and then use the strength of the other two regiments to attack the main German forces in front of the defense line. This plan was just discussed. How can Lieutenant Colonel Lukin know in advance? Do you know the power of the prophet?"

Kirilov couldn't help laughing after hearing Kistyakov's words. After laughing, he glanced at me, and then explained to Kistyakov: "You may not know, Comrade Deputy Commander. This Lieutenant Colonel Lukin has been Lida's subordinate from the time of the Moscow Defense War. He also fought side by side with Lida in the Don River Basin, so I don’t feel surprised to understand Lida’s combat intentions in advance."

"It turned out to be like this." After listening to Kirilov's explanation, Kistyakov suddenly realized that he looked at me, gave a thumbs up, and said sincerely: "Comrade Commander, you are really amazing. According to me As I know, as long as the commander who has been under your hand, the performance in the battle is better than that of the commanders of other units. Lieutenant Colonel Lukin is good, and Colonel Sejerikov is also good. This time. The two of them are indispensable for being able to capture Kalinkovic so smoothly."

…………

During the all-night battle, Lu Jin's attrition was very serious. The attack they launched, although the German army was in chaos at the beginning, but the German commander soon discovered that the attacking Soviet army was limited, so he left two battalions of troops to block Lukin's division, and he led the rest. The next two regiments began to retreat in the direction of Mozili.

Seeing that the German army was about to withdraw, Lukin couldn't help but anxious, but due to the limited strength in his hand and the tight defense of the German army, it was impossible to break through the German defense in a short time. Just when he was about to report the situation to me, two regiments of the 90th Guards Division arrived.

With the addition of the new force, the German army's seemingly indestructible line of defense collapsed. The officers and soldiers alternately covered and retreated back, wishing to leave contact with our army so that they could retreat smoothly to Mozili.

If the German commander knew that Kalinkovic had lost his defense, he left a regiment and then led the main force to retreat, he might have the hope of escaping and ascending to heaven. But with the arrival of the 11th Army and the 65th Army, they soon fell into the encirclement of our army.

As the battle lasted until noon, three tanks, a dozen vehicles, and about one battalion of troops rushed out from the west side of our encirclement, trying to escape back to Moziri along the road. But they didn't escape very far, they were intercepted by the Air Force. The fighter jets dived down from a high altitude and fired at the German army that had fled hurriedly on the road, and the enemy flew in flesh and blood.

When the escaping German army was intercepted by the Air Force, the chasing soldiers arrived. German tanks and armored vehicles, under the blow of our tank brigade, quickly turned into piles of burning scrap iron. The remaining infantry faced the rushing tanks and found that they could not be beaten or escaped. Had to surrender obediently.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the besieged German troops, except for those who were killed, obediently put down their weapons and surrendered to our army. The news that the participating troops immediately surrendered the Germans was reported to me by telegram or telephone.

The first person who called me was General Batov. He said excitedly on the phone: "Report Comrade Oshanina, the German troops surrounded by us, except for those killed, the rest of the enemies put down their weapons and surrendered. The troops of my 65th Army are accepting captives to surrender."

After listening to Akhromeyev’s report, I nodded and said: “The Germans knew that we had captured Kalinkovic. After being hit hard, the army was unable to pursue the retreating troops. But they may not have dreamed that after we captured the city, we could mobilize our troops to pounce on them in such a short period of time."
