Burning Moscow

After the commanders attending the meeting left one after another, Kistyakov saw me sitting there looking calmly and looking at the map, and couldn’t help feeling a little anxious: "My comrade commander, why are you so calm? Angry, don’t you know that the enemy is launching an attack on our defenders?"

I looked up at Kistyakov who was stomping in a hurry, and said disapprovingly: "Comrade Deputy Commander, the Germans are attacking our troops on the east coast. I know this. (biqiwu in pinyin) but I have not ordered the troops. Did the three division commanders who were armed by the river rush back to command the troops in a hurry?"

"Comrade Commander," Kistiakov said with an anxious look after hearing me say this: "Don't you know that the west banks of all Russian rivers are high and steep, and the east bank is flat? Is it true? The temporary fortifications constructed by our army can't stop the assault of the German armored units at all."

"It doesn't matter if you can't stop it." I pointed to the map on the table to Kistyakov: "We can let General Nekrasov give way to the Germans, and then the troops deployed on the second line will block the Germans. As long as the 52nd Guards Division quickly regained its position after the enemy passed by, it would encircle the enemy. If we can annihilate the German forces along the Pripyat River, then we are attacking Moziri When the time comes, the resistance we face will be greatly reduced."

Hearing what I said, Kistyakov stopped complaining and stared at the map to think. After a while, he finally nodded, and then said: "Comrade Commander, you are right. We should find a way on the Pripyat River to consume the enemy’s vital power and take the next step for us. Moziri prepared."

Bezikov also leaned over, pointed to the map and said: "The three divisions we deployed along the Pripyat River, the 90th Guards Division and the 375th Infantry Division, were all severely damaged in the early battles. Weakened. If the Germans choose their breakthrough point, I think they will not be able to stop the German attack."

"Yes," I echoed after he finished speaking: "At present, the most powerful of the three divisions is the 52nd Division of the Guards of General Nekrasov, and the Germans actually focused on the offensive. Chosen here, it's strange that they don't meet and break the blood."

An hour later, Nekrasov called me. He said anxiously: "Comrade Commander, the German army used a large number of tanks to launch a fierce attack on my defense area. Because our fortifications are too simple to resist the enemy's attack, we have been torn apart for nearly two kilometers. The German army has rushed into the depth of our defense."

"Comrade General, the Germans have broken through your line of defense?" Since the situation he reported was already in my expectation, I asked calmly: "I want to know what you have adopted. Measures?"

"I'm organizing forces to counterattack the enemy who broke through." Nekrasov thought I was asking him to blame him, and quickly explained to me: "Comrade Commander, please rest assured, I must be within half an hour. To take back the lost ground."

"Taking the ground back?" I couldn't help laughing when I heard him say this, and then said to him lightly, "Comrade General, there is no need for this for the time being."

"What, don't you need to regain the lost ground?" Nekrasov was confused by what I said, and he asked inexplicably, "Comrade Commander, what is going on?"

"Comrade General, immediately order your troops to stop counterattacking and retreat to the two wings of the defense line, leaving a passage for the Germans." After I gave this order in one breath, I was afraid that he would not understand my intentions, and added: "After putting the enemy in, you will counterattack again to restore the lost position and block the enemy's retreat. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Comrade Commander." After listening to my explanation, Nekrasov suddenly realized that he immediately replied: "I understand all of them. I will follow your order and let the troops stop counterattacking and move towards the defensive line. Retreat on both sides to make way for the German army."

I put down the phone and thought about my own combat plan carefully. I felt that I should inform Baksov and Babahin to prepare them for battle in advance, so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy who rushed through the 52nd Division of the Guards. Thinking of this, I picked up the phone again and dialed the joint command of the two divisions.

After hearing Baksov’s voice, I opened the door and said: "General Baksov, the Germans have broken through the defense line of the 52nd Guards Division and are rushing towards you. You must prepare for battle immediately to avoid being beaten by the Germans. One was caught off guard."

Bakksov was taken aback by what I said. He asked in a flustered manner: "Comrade Commander, what is going on? How long has it been since the end of the meeting? How is General Nekrasov’s position? Was it broken by the enemy?"

"The enemy's offensive is too fierce, and the troops garrisoned by the river do not have strong fortifications and cannot stop the enemy's attack. It is not surprising." After I said two sentences, I ordered: "You must do well. All preparations for battle will resolutely block the German offensive. I have ordered General Nekrasov to restore the lost position immediately after the enemy’s passage and cut off the enemy behind our army. After the enemy’s offensive momentum weakens, If you launch a counterattack again, you must completely wipe out this enemy. Do you understand?"

But Baksov did not immediately reply to me ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ instead, he said anxiously: "Comrade Commander, if the enemy has a large number of tank troops, I am worried that it will be difficult for us to complete the task you confided."

"Don't worry, General Baksov." Fortunately, the self-propelled artillery regiment with enough shells is deployed behind their defense zone, so I can confidently say: "Our self-propelled artillery regiment is behind your defense zone. If you need artillery support, you can contact him directly."

"It's great, it's really great." Baksov heard me say that, and he immediately became energetic. He patted his chest and assured me: "Comrade Commander, don't worry. You have a self-propelled artillery regiment. Support, we can completely wipe out the enemy who broke into the rear of our army, so you can be confident that you can wait patiently for the news of our victory."

I had just completed the deployment to annihilate the enemy, and Belov called me to warn me: "Comrade Oshanina, my scouts reported to me that the Germans had deployed two divisions and directly attacked the generals. Lipiat River. You have to be vigilant to avoid sudden blows by the Germans."

"Thank you, Comrade General." For Belov's kind reminder, I thanked Belov first, and then said to him: "The enemy is attacking our east bank position, but it doesn't matter. I have set up traps for them. Just wait for them to jump in."
