Burning Moscow

After listening to Bukov’s complaint, and then thinking of Ah Funin’s just now hesitant expression, I guessed there must be something inside that I didn’t know, so I sternly said, "Tell me more. Point, it’s best to cite a few more examples to illustrate how the new commanders of the new division resisted your new tactics?"

　　 After hearing what I said, the two looked at each other again, without speaking, it seemed a bit hard to tell.　≈I was a little anxious, pointed at Lu Jin with my hand, and said in a commanding tone: "Colonel Lu Jin, you are the teacher, it is up to you."

Lu Jin said with a bitter face: "Comrade Commander, the officers and fighters of the new division have all received rigorous military training and have certain combat experience, so only simple weapon adaptation training is needed. I see the officers and fighters. In the training ground, the performance of Girl Sahua was not bad, so she discussed with several division leaders and decided to conduct an offensive and defensive exercise."

　　 "Wait a minute, Colonel Lukin." When Lukin said this, I interrupted him and asked, "Do you include Comrade Bonjelin in the division leadership you mentioned?"

"Yes, Major Ponetjelin is also one of the division leaders." Lukin glanced at Bukov next to him when he said this. "In addition to the two of us and Major Ponetjelin, there is also the political commissar of the division. Lieutenant Colonel Van."

　　 After I figured out who was attending the meeting, I told him: "Colonel, please go on."

"According to the exercise premonition, Major Ponetjelin commanded the 2nd and 3rd regiments plus an artillery battalion to deploy defenses on the edge of the forest. The 1st regiment, tank battalion and artillery battalion under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Bukov and I served as the offensive side. When introducing the exercise plan, for the convenience of explanation, Lu Jin also brought a map over and put it on the table to explain to me in detail: "...Major Ponetjelin arranged in front of their defensive positions. Minefields, barbed wire fences were pulled up, and a few anti-tank trenches were dug..."

　　 When I heard this, I couldn't help asking strangely: "Although the defensive position constructed by Major Boneterin is nothing new, it is quite satisfactory. Is there any problem in it?"

　　 Lu Jin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Before the exercise started, I had accompanied General Afu Ning to see it, and the commander of the army was full of praise for the fortifications they built."

　　 The more I listened, the more confused I became. Now that the fortifications are well repaired, Ah Funing, the commander of the army, has been full of praise after the inspection. What is the problem? But I did not interrupt Lu Jin's narration, but patiently waited for the answer to be revealed.

"... After the start of the exercise, we prepared for a short period of artillery fire, and then under the cover of the tank battalion, the infantry attacked the defensive positions on the edge of the forest. The tanks that opened the way in front, cleared the barbed wire that blocked the way, and then stopped. Before the anti-tank trench, I was going to use artillery to suppress the firepower on the opponent's position. Who knows that at this moment..." When Lu Jin said this, he slammed a punch on the table and said angrily: " Unexpectedly, Ponetjelin actually ordered the troops to countercharge. Under the cover of several machine guns, soldiers from the fortification flooded like a tide, and rushed to our offensive troops one after another..."

　　 "What is the result of the final exercise?" Although Lukin hadn't finished speaking, I knew in my heart that the defender under the command of Bonetjelin had been defeated, and it was also terribly defeated. In order to ascertain my guess, I asked in a deep voice: "What is Major Boneterin's attitude toward such a result?"

"After the exercise, my offensive force lost a battalion, and the defensive force under the command of Ponetjelin was judged to be annihilated. The Chief of Staff must be dissatisfied with such a result, and a lot of complaints have been made. "Lukin didn't say what Boneterin complained about, but I can also guess what he said in my heart. "In order to convince him, I propose to conduct another exercise. This time the offensive and defensive sides transposed, I led a regiment and artillery battalion to stick to the town of Portoria in the north, and he commanded two infantry regiments, artillery battalions, and tank battalions. Come as the offensive side."

　　 I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, "Captain Lukin, needless to say, you won again this time."

"Yes, Comrade Commander, you guessed it." Lu Jin said triumphantly: "When he was preparing for artillery fire, I withdrew all the commanders in the first trench to the second trench, leaving only A small number of observers were removed. When the artillery was over, and his troops charged towards our position under the cover of the tank, my troops re-entered the first line of defense and continued to block. Because Major Ponetjelin did not gather the tanks. Use, but just stop at a distance to provide artillery support for the offensive infantry, so I ordered the artillery battalion in time to destroy these tanks with artillery fire. After the tanks are eliminated, the attacking infantry will be intercepted by artillery fire. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, we won another victory in the defense war."

　　 After listening to Lu Jin talking about the process of the two exercises, I couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation. The reason why I took the risk of offending Stalin and defended Ponetjelin was simply because I had heard Bagramyan say that Ponetjelin was the chief of staff of the Leningrad military region and led the Frunze military. The tactical teaching and research section of the college is well versed in advanced corps tactics and is proficient in military academic issues. It enjoys a high reputation in the Kiev Special Military Region.

　　 But rumors are rumors. From Lu Jin’s account, I have doubts about Ponegelin’s true ability. Even the troops of both regiments are not well commanded, let alone the large regiments. I intend to hide Ponetjelin from now on, but after another thought, this is not enough, because his fate is closely related to my future. If he can't make any achievements during the next war, it will be good for my future. The future will have an adverse effect.

　　 Thinking of this, I stood up and asked Lukin, "Where is Major Bonetjelin now, take me to find him."

　　 "Comrade Commander, I know." Before Lukin could answer, Bukov next to him rushed to answer, "I know where he drinks, I'll take you there."

Thinking that Lukin is the commander of the division, if you take me to find Ponetjelin, his normal work will definitely be delayed. Since Bukov volunteered, I proceeded with the flow and said: "Well, Colonel Lukin stays, Buko The lieutenant colonel took me to find Major Bonetelin."

　　 Seeing me coming out of the division headquarters, the guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately lined up to follow. Seeing the neat team behind, I stopped and turned to the company commander and said, "Comrade Captain, the lieutenant colonel and I are going out to find someone. It is not convenient for you to bring so many soldiers to follow me."

　　 The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs straightened his back and replied without squinting: "Comrade General, my task is to ensure your safety, so I will follow you wherever you go."

"It's alright, comrade captain." I knew that if I didn't bring a few people, the company commander would be worried, so he ordered: "Just take a few people and follow me. The rest of the soldiers will find a place to settle down first. ."

Bukov smiled and beckoned to an officer next to him. After the other party came over, he whispered a few words, then turned and said to the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Comrade Captain, you take a few people to follow us. , The remaining comrades will follow this officer. He will arrange accommodation for your subordinates."

　　 Bukov and I came to a coffee shop under the protection of a few soldiers from the Ministry of the Interior. Bukov puffed up his lips and said, "Major Ponetjelin often drinks here."

　　 "Go, let's go in." After I said, I opened the door and walked in. Only Bukov followed me in. The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and his men stayed outside to serve as a guard.

　　Walking into the coffee shop, I quickly scanned the indoor environment. There were more than a dozen square tables in the coffee shop. They were all full of people. Except for a few in casual clothes, the rest were all soldiers.

　　 A few lieutenant-level officers sat at the table nearest to me. Seeing me and Bukov standing at the door, they quickly got up and raised their hands to salute us. I didn't return the courtesy, but nodded at them, turned to ask Bukov, "Did you see anyone?"

　　 "Yes, please come with me." After Bukov finished speaking, he led me through the many dining tables and walked directly to a corner.

　　 I saw a wooden table in the corner, and a soldier was sitting with his back to us. Although I couldn't see the other person's eyes, I also guessed that this was the Bonjelin I was looking for.

　　 Bukov walked behind the man, raised his hand and patted his shoulder lightly. The man turned his head abruptly and saw that the person who patted his shoulder was Bukov, drunkenly raised the glass in his hand, and said to Bukov: "It turned out to be the deputy commander, come on, sit down, I invite you to drink."

　　 Bukov ignored him. Instead, he pointed to the empty seat opposite Ponetjelin and said to me: "Comrade Commander, please sit down!" I nodded and walked around the table to sit down in that position.

After seeing me sitting down, Bukov sat down in an empty seat beside Ponetjelin, with one hand on his shoulder, the other hand went to grab the wine glass in his hand, and said at the same time: "Hey , Comrade Chief of Staff, stop drinking and see who is coming?"

　　 I carefully looked at Ponegelin, who once had a relationship, and found that after he shaved off his length and put on a decent military uniform, he still looked pleasing to the eye. After Ponetjelin's glass was snatched by Bukov, he quickly stretched out his hand to grab it, and at the same time he said unclearly: "Return the glass, return the glass to me..."

I looked at the bottle of vodka on the table, there was half of the bottle left in it, so I lifted the bottle up on top of his head, the mouth of the bottle was down, and poured the rest of the vodka on him. On the head.

　　 From the moment I entered the cafe, I was the focus of everyone's attention. The originally noisy restaurant became quieter, and people kept their voices low and talked, fearing it would affect me. At this moment, seeing me pouring most of the bottle of wine on Ponetjelin's head, the whole cafe became even more silent.

　　 I put down the wine bottle, pointed at the soldiers at the table, and ordered: "You guys, take him out and give it to the soldiers outside the door."

　　 The soldiers heard my order and hurried over immediately, and they could not help but walk outside while holding Ponegelin. And the half-drunk Ponetjelin hasn't figured out what's going on at this moment, he is still struggling desperately: "Let go of me, wine... wine, give me... wine..."

After scanning the cafe, I asked Bukov with a stern face and expressionlessly: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, please explain to me why there are alcoholic beverages for sale here? And Ponetjelin acts as A teacher leader, comes here every day to drink alcohol. You two are the teacher and the deputy teacher. Why don't you stop him?"

Seeing Bukov's speechless, I didn't want to blame him too much, but simply said: "This is the end of the matter. Starting today, all the officers and soldiers of the new editor are not allowed to drink, such as If there is cash, all will be punished severely.” After I finished speaking, I walked around the table, passed through the standing crowd, opened the wooden door of the coffee shop and walked out.

　　As soon as I left the house, I saw two soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs standing next to the coffee shop with Ponetjelin. Seeing me coming out of it, the captain quickly asked me for instructions: "Comrade General, what should we do with him?"

　　 I glanced at the drunken Ponegelin with disgust, and then said to the captain: "Comrade Captain, find a way to sober him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and send it to the division headquarters."

　　 "Understand." The captain agreed, then turned and told his subordinates: "You sober him up first, and then send him to the division headquarters."

　　 After receiving the captain's order, a soldier turned and ran into the coffee shop. In a short while, he came out of it with a bucket of water. The captain stooped to pick up the wooden spoon in the bucket, and scooped up a scoop of water to pour down Ponetjelin's head.

　　 Although it is already June, the water is still biting. A scoop of water poured down from his head, and Bonetjelin suddenly shivered. The captain looked at him closely, and said to himself: "It looks like it's a little too close." After speaking, he stooped and took a scoop of water from the bucket again, and poured Poneygelin again.

"Okay, comrade Captain." I thought that the water was too cold, and it might make Bonjeelin catch a cold. If it got pneumonia, it would be bad. So I stopped the captain who was about to scoop the third scoop in time and ordered. : "It's almost done, now take him back to the headquarters."

Captain 　　 received my order to let the soldiers leave with Ponetjelin, while I stayed at the door and waited for Bukov, who remained inside, to walk towards the headquarters together.

　　 Bukov saw Ponetjelin, who was still dripping in front of him, and asked me with some concern: "Comrade Commander, you sober him up like this, so you won't let him catch a cold, right?"

I shrugged, snorted softly, and said: "I think it is necessary to have a good talk with him, but only if he is in a sober state. When you return to the headquarters, you will find someone to give him. Change your clothes and don't catch a cold. If you contract pneumonia, he probably won't have the chance to participate in many battles that follow."8
