Burning Moscow

After Rokosovsky waited for everyone to sit down, he scanned everyone’s body with his eyes, and then said: "Comrades commanders, I think everyone needs to be a member of the Sixth Guards Army. Work hard!"

Everyone was attracted by Rokosowski's statement and looked at him strangely, trying to figure out what he meant to express. Beloborodov gave a soft cough and asked carefully, "Comrade General, I did not understand what you mean."

"It's very simple." Rokosovsky pointed at the commanders present with his fingers, and said: "When I was at the headquarters of the group army, I saw the commanders coming in and out there, with their chests hanging on their chests. Brand new medals. And your medals, it is estimated that the latest ones were obtained in the first half of last year, right?"

"Yes, Comrade General." Beloborodov replied with some embarrassment: "Since the second half of last year, our army has not received any combat missions, so there are not many opportunities for you to get medals."

"The Sixth Guards Army is a glorious unit. It has made a lot of military exploits." Rokosovsky gave me a smile, and then said to the commanders participating in the meeting: "Since you are now I am also a member of this army. Then I hope you will inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition of this army in the next battle, and build immortal merits for the motherland and the people. I hope that when I see you again next time, everyone Brand new medals are hung on his chest."

"Don't worry, Comrade General." As soon as Beloborodov waited for Rokosovsky to finish speaking, he immediately stated to him: "When you come to our army for inspection next time, I want you to promise every time. All the commanders who participated in the meeting received the medals they deserve." After finishing speaking, he stood up and asked the commanders present in a loud voice, "Do you have any confidence?"

The commanders stood up and replied neatly and loudly: "Yes, we are confident!"

"Comrade General, move us to the forefront, and do it with the Germans!" Some commanders even shouted: "We will definitely build immortal merits in battle."

Seeing Rokosovsky's understatement aroused the fighting spirit of the commanders present. I really admire him. After waiting for the commanders to yell a few times, he raised his hands and pressed down, motioning everyone to sit down, and then said: "Comrades, don't worry, there are many opportunities for war, and you also have the opportunity to make contributions. Many. But before I first talk about how to rebuild the city."

"Comrade Commander," the commander of the 46th Guards Division stood up, and the old colonel with white temples said to Rokosovsky: "You should let us go to the front and compete with the Germans. Stay here. What kind of construction, the commanders below are all emotional."

"I don't see that the soldiers have emotions, but you have emotions." Rokosovsky unceremoniously exposed the opponent, and then said: "Although our army has continued to move one after another over the past year or so. The city was liberated from the enemy’s claws. But many cities have been turned into ruins in the battle. In the face of the homeless and displaced residents, what should we do is to let them survive without asking. Is it self-extinguishing?"

After he finished saying this, he paused intentionally for a moment, saw no one talking, and then continued: "No, it definitely won't work. What we should do is to rebuild the war-damaged city and solve the needs of the residents... "

After listening to Rokosovsky’s tirade, the teacher murmured: “However, Comrade General, it is not an overnight task to rebuild a city. If we concentrate on rebuilding the city, there is no time to fight. what?"

"Although the main task of the troops is still fighting." After listening to the commander's words, Rokosovsky did not get angry, but patiently explained to him: "But in the idle period of the battle, our troops In addition to rest and recuperation, the more important task is to help local residents rebuild the city or rebuild the waterproof layer so that they can live and work in peace and contentment. Comrade teacher, you might as well think about it. Can you fight with peace of mind?"

The division commander who was criticized by Rokosovsky blushed and shook his head, and then said loudly, "Comrade General, I was wrong. I always feel that other troops are fighting the Germans while we stay behind. Nothing to do..."

"Wait a minute, Comrade Colonel." Kirilov interrupted the division commander and said in a learned tone: "You and your troops are staying in Mozili. It's not nothing to do. There are many things to do. For example. It is said that helping residents build houses, restore tap water supply, clean up and dredge sewers, etc., are all you can do. Now many cities in China are undergoing reconstruction work. Since we are not participating in any battles for the time being, we should Some of the preparations are done well, and when the real construction team arrives, their progress can be accelerated."

"Comrade Kirilov, I want to ask you a question." After listening to Kirilov, Rokosovsky suddenly asked: "Has the supply of materials to the residents in the city returned to normal?"

"Supply of supplies to the residents?!" Kirilov repeated Rokosovsky's words and asked, "Comrade General, do you mean the food we rationed to the residents?"

"No, it's not food, but the supply of daily necessities." Rokosovsky explained to Kirilov: "I think in the city that has been turned into a ruin after fierce fighting, the residents need very much daily necessities. Many of these things, such as clothes to wear, quilts, pots and pans for cooking, etc., are probably buried in the ruins. With their abilities, they cannot be dug out from the ruins at all. I can buy new ones."

Regarding the question Rokosovsky mentioned, Kirilov frowned, and then turned to me for help. Rokosovsky followed his eyes and looked at me, and said with a smile: "Lida, I think you should give me an answer to this matter."

"Excuse me, can I sit down?" The teacher who sang a drama with Rokosovsky looked at me pitifully and asked.

"Please sit down, comrade commander." I answered him with a smile, then turned to Rokosovsky and said: "Comrade General, since you have asked us a question, then we will in the next time, The work of providing residents with daily necessities will be put on the agenda and be resolved in the shortest possible time."

"Comrade Commander, please allow me to ask a question." As soon as I finished speaking, Beloborodov asked me a question: "If the department store in the city undergoes simple repairs, it will soon be put into use. My question is, when we sell goods in the building, what should residents use to buy the daily necessities they need?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander." As soon as he finished speaking, his military commissar asked: "Obviously it is very unrealistic to let the residents use the ration card to receive it; in addition, it is impossible to buy with cash. After all, it has been more than two years since this city fell into the clutches of the enemy. I don’t think the residents still have enough money in their hands.”

The questions raised by the two men came to the point. After listening, Rokosovsky folded his hands on his chest, looked at me and smiled without saying a word, as if he wanted to hear what kind of response I would make.

In fact, I really can’t help me with how to buy daily necessities. As soon as the two of them raised their question, I thought of the work-for-relief approach, so I smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. Starting today, we will provide work cards for urban residents who participate in labor. The card indicates the time they participate in labor. . Then go to the store and use their working time to exchange for the necessities of life."

"Provide a work card for the residents?" Hearing my proposal, Rokosovsky couldn't help frowning. He was silent for a moment, and then asked in an uncertain tone: "Can this work?"

"Comrade General, you can rest assured that this method is absolutely feasible." I saw that not only Rokosovsky did not understand, but the other commanders present were still at a loss, so I explained to everyone: "We adopt a plan. The point system is one point for every half hour worked. A resident can get eight points for working eight hours a day. We work out the number of points to exchange for each product, so residents can exchange for points as long as the points on the work card meet the standard Corresponding goods. After exchanging the goods, we deduct the corresponding points from the card. If they want to buy other goods, they must increase their points through labor..."

After I cracked and explained my thoughts in detail, I finally saw Rokosovsky nodding his head in the shop with a dazed expression. Then he asked Kirilov and said: "Comrade Kirilov, look at Lida How about the proposed method?"

"Comrade General," Kirilov said with a smile, Rokosovsky, "I think it will work. After the meeting is over, General Beloborodov and I are discussing the details, and we can go to Mozili. This work card is implemented in the two cities of Kalinkovic." After that, he turned his head and said to Beloborodov, "Comrade Commander, you can arrange for the personnel to complete the repair work of the department store as soon as possible. Oh!"

"Don't worry, Comrade Military Commissioner." Beloborodov assured Kirilov with his chest slapped: "When the meeting is over, I will send an engineering battalion to perform this task."

"Excuse me, can I sit down?" The teacher who sang a drama with Rokosovsky looked at me pitifully and asked.

"Please sit down, comrade commander." I answered him with a smile, then turned to Rokosovsky and said: "Comrade General, since you have asked us a question, then we will in the next time, The work of providing residents with daily necessities will be put on the agenda and be resolved in the shortest possible time."
