Burning Moscow

　　 "When can you finish the rest?" Zhukov asked at last.

　　Although we have captured Ternopil, we must take a short rest to participate in the battle to encircle and destroy the 1st Army of German tanks. That's why Zhukov asked this question. I covered the microphone and asked Rebarko: "Comrade General, how long will your troops need to rest before they can go into battle again?"

　　 "Two days." Rebarko stretched out **** and said with a serious expression: "If you want the troops to regain combat effectiveness, you must rest for at least two days."

　　 "Comrade Marshal," I let go of my hand covering the microphone and reported to Zhukov, "It will take at least two days before the troops can rejoin the battle."

After I finished speaking, Zhukov was silent for at least two or three minutes, and then said slowly: "Well, Rebarko and the others have just gone through a fierce battle. The troops have suffered a lot of losses, and the ammunition needs to be replenished. Then I Just give you two days to replenish your soldiers and ammunition. After two days, they must return to the battle."

　　 When I put down the phone, I unexpectedly found that besides Rebarko, there was Melnikov standing in front of me. I asked a little unexpectedly: "Comrade Military Commissioner, when did you arrive?"

"I just arrived a few minutes ago, but I didn't bother you when I saw you talking to Comrade Marshal." Melnikov asked me curiously after simply answering my question. "I don't know that Comrade Marshal What did you say?"

　　 After I repeated Zhukov’s words, Melnikov said in surprise: "If we can eliminate the German tank 1st Army, then it will not be long before Ukraine can return to the embrace of the motherland."

Regarding Melnikov’s full face of joy, I couldn’t bear to pour cold water on him. I could only say tactfully: “Comrade Military Commissioner, judging from the current situation, it’s only a matter of time before our army recovers Ukraine. But the German army will definitely not. If they give up easily, they will definitely be dying. They must not be taken lightly until they are completely driven out of our country's borders."

　　 "That's right." Melnikov nodded vigorously and said, "As long as there is an enemy in our country, I believe our soldiers will never put down their weapons."

　　 "Lida," Rebarko waited for Melnikov to finish, and then asked me: "How did Comrade Marshal answer? Did he agree with our rest plan?"

　　 "Yes, the marshal agreed." I nodded and replied: "He gave you two days to rest, and then go into the battle to encircle and destroy the 1st Army of the tank."

Unexpectedly, Melnikov heard me say this, immediately turned his head to look at Rebarko, and offered him his own suggestion: "Comrade Commander, I don’t think our troops need to rest at all. In the siege battle. In addition to Novikov’s 6th Guards Tank Corps and the 7th Guards Mechanized Corps, the casualties of several other units are still within a tolerable range. I think Ivanov’s Guards Tank The 7th Corps and the 9th Corps of the Mareijin Guards Mechanized Immediately went into battle."

　　Because of the battle to capture Ternopil, I have always stayed in the command post, so I know the situation of the troops very well. At this moment, it is barely possible to put the two troops mentioned by Melnikov into battle immediately. However, the commanders and fighters have become tired after such a fierce battle. If they are allowed to continue fighting, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"Comrade Military Commissioner," before I could speak, Rebarko patiently said to Melnikov: "Even if the two armies you mentioned have little losses, they will temporarily replenish their troops and ammunition. You can’t go into battle, otherwise your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

　　 "If our troops were put into battle sooner," Melnikov said disapprovingly: "Then we can defeat the German troops besieged by our troops sooner."

　　 When the two had a dispute, I was standing by the wall, looking at the map on the wall, looking at the red and blue arrows that represent the situation of the enemy and ourselves, thinking about how to eliminate the German army besieged by our army.

　　 "Lida, what do you think?" When I was studying the direction from which Hubei was preparing to lead the troops to protrude from our encirclement, I suddenly heard the voice of Lei Barko coming from behind me.

　　 I turned around to look at him, and asked blankly: "Comrade General, what do you think?"

Rebarko heard what I said, and immediately understood that I must have not heard the dispute between him and Melnikov, so he explained to me: "That's it, whether the military commissioner and I will send troops immediately. There is a bit of disagreement about participating in the battle. I am planning to let the troops rest for two days according to the arrangement of Comrade Marshal, and then go into the battle. He advocated immediately putting the two armies with little losses into battle."

　　 After hearing what Rebarko said, I figured out where the two of them diverged. To be honest, I don’t agree that at such a time, the troops that have just gone through the battle should be reinvested in more exciting battles. Therefore, I stood on Rebarko’s side and said to Melnikov: "Comrade Military Commissioner. , I agree with General Rebarko’s opinion and let the troops rest for two days before going into battle."

Seeing Melnikov opened his mouth, he seemed to be ready to persuade me to change my mind, so he continued: "Comrade Military Commissioner, I don’t deny that our commanders are fully capable of continuous combat. But don’t you think that the troops should be supplemented with soldiers and Can they play a greater role with technical equipment and put them into battle after a two-day break?"

As soon as I uttered my words, Melnikov was speechless, and Rebarko also said while the iron was hot: "Comrade Military Commissioner, let the troops rest for two days before participating in the battle. Marshal Zhukov personally agreed to this. According to the regulations, The order of the superior is not allowed to be discussed and can only be executed unconditionally."

　　 The words between me and Lebarko made Melnikov lose his temper. He nodded and said helplessly: "Since it was Marshal Zhukov's order, then I have no opinion."

　　…………

Two days later, Rebarko left a brigade of the 7th Guards Corps to be responsible for the defense of Ternopil. The rest of the troops rushed to the Kamenets-Podolsky area, where they were besieged and besieged. German tank 1st Army.

　　At the same time, I also completed my mission, returned to the front army headquarters, and coordinated with Zhukov to command this battle that determines the fate of Ukraine. After seven days and nights of fierce fighting, the besieged German army has been compressed by our army in a narrow area of ​​no more than 100 kilometers long and 70 kilometers wide.

　　Although the situation is very favorable for our army, Zhukov never showed a relaxed expression on his face, because the German reinforcements, including the elite 2nd SS Army, have successively arrived in the Lviv area. At the same time, a Hungarian army also came from the southwest in an attempt to rescue the besieged German army.

The new Chief of Staff Sokolovsky asked me in front of Zhukov: "Comrade Oshanina, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of the Hungarian troops? If we don’t mobilize troops to reinforce the troops in the southwest, they can stop the enemy. Offense?"

From Sokolovsky’s expression, I can see that he is dismissive of the Hungarian troops. In his eyes, the only fighting force is the German army; the rest are from Italy, Romania, Hungary and other countries. The army is just playing the role of soy sauce, which is not worth mentioning at all.

In order to prevent the irreversible consequences caused by underestimating the enemy, I specifically emphasized to Zhukov: "Comrade Marshal, we can't underestimate the Hungarian troops. Remember that in the defense of Stalingrad, the troops I commanded were against each other. The Hungarian troops have dealt with. According to my judgment, the combat effectiveness of individual troops is not inferior to the German troops at all."

As soon as I finished speaking, Sokolovsky chuckled. After taking a look at Zhukov, he said to me: "Comrade Oshanina, how can you grow the ambition of the enemy and destroy the prestige of our army? Yes, it is true that some Hungarian troops are not weak in combat effectiveness, but they were exhausted in the battle with our army. Today these troops are supplementary recruits, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the previous veterans."

　　 After Sokolovsky finished speaking, I immediately turned my head and looked at Zhukov, wanting to hear what he said. Zhukov frowned and thought for a while, and then said to Sokolovsky: "Comrade Chief of Staff, Lida is right. Although the army of a servant country like Hungary is not strong in combat, we can't take it lightly. Give it to you. General Katukov called and ordered him to move a mechanized army to the west, but assisted the troops to the west to block the Hungarian Army."

When Sokolovsky called to set up a mission to Katukov, Zhukov suddenly asked me: "Lida, judging from the fighting in the past two days, the Germans are not reconciled to defeat and are struggling to death. I guess they Soon they will choose a direction to implement a breakout operation. What defense line do you think they will break through?"

　　 The question asked by Zhukov, I began to think about it when I first captured Ternopil. At this moment, when I heard him ask this question, I didn’t answer it immediately. Instead, I looked at the map for a while before cautiously saying: “Comrade Marshal, from the map, the terrain on the south is flat and there are good roads. Use armored troops. If I were Hubei, this road would be the first choice, because as long as I break through our defense, I can enter Romania along the road. Romania’s terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We will be in a short period of time. Can't cross the border to attack."

　　 When I said this, I intentionally paused for a moment to observe Zhukov's reaction. Unexpectedly, he saw that I listened, and after looking up at me, he asked faintly: "Are there other possibilities?"

"Yes, Comrade Marshal." I hurriedly pointed my hand to the north of Kamenets-Podolski and continued: "There is another possibility that the German army will abandon the existing heavy equipment and break through the mountain road to the north. ."

After hearing what I said, Zhukov shook his head with a smile, and said jokingly: "Lida, you are still too young to understand a lot of things." He pointed at the map and continued, "The German armored forces can't do anything. Climbing the high mountains and ridges, the greatest possibility is to concentrate on breaking out to the south. General Hubei used a powerful armored force to break through our army’s defenses on the South Road and enter Romania along the road."

　　 After saying this, he looked up at me: "I think your first analysis is completely correct."

Sokolovsky, who happened to have finished the phone call, came over, and Zhukov then gave him an order: "Comrade Chief of Staff, judging by the current situation, the German army is likely to break through to the south, so we must immediately deploy troops. Detour back to the German retreat, and at the same time prepare the air force for air strikes against the advancing German armored units. They must be eliminated on the way to Romania."

　　 Zhukov’s words put me in a dilemma, because I don’t know which direction the moral army will choose if it wants to break through, because I really don’t know much about this period of history. I hesitated for a moment, and then summoned the courage to say Zhukov: "Comrade Marshal, since we can analyze the direction of the German breakthrough, will they stupidly rush over according to our plan?"

My words made Zhukov’s face show dissatisfaction. He looked at me a little displeased and said: "Lida, I have just said that you are too young to understand many things. From the analysis of the current situation, The German army doesn’t break through from the south, can it be from the north? There are all mountains and mountains, and the enemy’s armored forces cannot pass."

　　 "But, Comrade Marshal." If Zhukov hadn't spoken to me in such a harsh tone, maybe I would have acquiesced to his decision. But hearing him say this with such confidence, my heart became unreliable, so I bit the bullet and said: "According to my judgment, the German army is very likely to be dangerous this time. Abandoning heavy equipment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and breaking through the high mountains to the north."

Unexpectedly, after I finished speaking, Zhukov waved his hand and said domineeringly: "Lida, don’t forget, I’m the commander of the front army, and it’s up to me. Since I think the Germans will break through from the south, they It will definitely break through from the south. As for the idea of ​​breaking through from the north, only inexperienced commanders like you can come up with it."

After finishing speaking, he told Sokolovsky: "Well, Comrade Chief of Staff, in accordance with the instructions I just issued, give orders to the commanders of the following army groups so that they can enter the designated position as soon as possible. The German army must not let a German escape."

　　Although there is an ominous premonition in my heart at this moment, facing the domineering and stubborn Zhukov, I can do nothing but pray secretly in my heart, hoping that the German army can follow Zhukov's thinking and choose a route to break through to the south.
