Burning Moscow

　　 Twenty minutes later, in this headquarters of Vlasov, I held the first combat meeting after I became chief of staff.

　　 The meeting was presided over by Vlasov, who was sitting on a long wooden table facing the main seat of the door. Deputy Commander Lin was sitting on his left hand, and behind him stood the inseparable translator Zhe. I was sitting on his right, and next to me was Colonel Griaznov, the commander of the 7th Guards Division. A division commander with the rank of major general sat next to Deputy Commander Lin, and the other division commanders also chose their own positions and took their seats in turn. The staff officers in the headquarters sat on the bench against the wall.

Seeing that everyone was already seated, Vlasov announced the meeting. He first said: "Hello, comrades. Today, I summon everyone to the headquarters for a meeting. There are two main things: One is Oshanin, the commander of the Eighth Guards Division. Major Na was transferred from the 16th Army to the Chief of Staff of our Army, and the new commander took office and came to meet everyone. Second, Deputy Commander Lin made a unified deployment of the military operations to be taken by the Army in the near future. Comrade Oshanina, please speak to everyone."

I stood up, paid a military salute to all the commanders present, then looked around with a smile on my face, and said: "Commander Vlasov, Deputy Commander Lin, and comrades commanders, hello!" Perhaps it is because of nervousness. At this point, I suddenly feel a blank in my head, I don't know what to say?

　　 Maybe I saw my inexplicable silence, and the surrounding commanders were surprised. Everyone looked at me, and some even started to whisper to each other.

　　 "Please keep quiet! Keep listening to Chief of Staff Oshanina's speech." As I was nervously unable to speak, Deputy Commander Lin quickly relieved me. Although President Lin is a deputy commander at this moment, he already has the aura of a superior. He did not deliberately act, nor did he get angry. Just sitting there and looking around was enough to silence the commanders who were speaking in private. .

　　 Seeing everyone calm down, he nodded at me and motioned for me to continue. Encouraged by President Lin, I immediately gained confidence. I took a deep breath and continued: "I am very happy, comrades commanders of the 20th Army, it is my honor to be able to fight with you side by side." When I got here, I paused again and said carefully, "I feel very stressed and burdened when I come to the post of Chief of Staff in the 20th Army. I am very grateful to the commanders of the Supreme Base Camp and the Front Army for their trust and trust I have been placed in the important position of the chief of staff of the group army. I know that my ability and command level are far from the requirements of my superiors and the expectations of my comrades. But I will do my best to cooperate with the group army. Leader, successfully completed the major counter-offensive task assigned by the Supreme Command." After finishing speaking, I saluted everyone again and sat down.

After I sat down, Vlasov in the main seat said: "Comrades, I know and know the Chief of Staff Oshanina. She is an excellent commander with a tenacious fighting spirit. The answer can be found from the medal she wears on her chest." When he said the medal, I felt countless eyes looking at my chest. Seeing that the expected results were achieved, he went on to say: "At the same time, Comrade Chief of Staff has participated in and commanded many battles, and achieved good results. We are currently in Volokoramsk, she once led The Ministry has stood firm for a month, and a large number of heroes who have dedicated themselves to the motherland like General Panfilov and Instructor Krochkov have emerged."

　　Introducing my situation, he turned his gaze to Mr. Lin next to him, and said, "Next, I will ask Deputy Commander Lin to arrange the recent military operations for everyone."

After listening to Shi Zhe’s translation, President Lin stood up, walked to the map hung on the wall, pointed at the map with an explanation stick and said to everyone: "Comrades, please look at the map." Seeing everyone’s attention They focused on him before continuing to explain: "Our current mission is still to stick to Volokolamsk. Having said that, I hope that all the commanders present here will understand one thing, sticking to the city does not let us Hiding in the trenches and waiting for the enemy to attack, not just nailing it there like a nail, without retreating one step. Instead, we have to change our tactics so that the enemy attacks, and we resist. If the enemy does not move and stops the attack, there is no need to wait , Don’t be happy when you have a chance to catch your breath. We have to take the initiative to attack...." Shi Zhe translated every word he said into Russian in time so that all commanders could understand it. "It is not only necessary to attack during the day, but also to attack at night, to give full play to our army's advantages in night combat and close combat, and to offset the enemy's advantage in weapons and equipment."

"Deputy Commander Lin is right," I heard this and couldn't help but echo: "German commanders and the army are very obedient, only knowing that they blindly obey orders. Once they stand still or stop the offensive, they will be met by us. If they counterattack, they will be helpless, behave very negatively, and wait for instructions from their superiors. Under combat conditions, the instructions of superiors are not always communicated in time. Through my own observation of the fighting process and the actions of our army, I I am convinced that all troops that do not simply defend but launch counterattacks against the enemy during the day and night as soon as possible will almost be able to win. Especially at night, because the Germans are very hesitant in the night and dark conditions, it should be said that they can fight well. Very bad. This can be confirmed in the night battle of our division to capture Sun Mountain City...."

　　 I was overwhelmed for a while and told my true feelings. There was a dead silence and silence in the command center, but immediately burst into enthusiastic applause and excited applause.

Vlasov looked at me with admiration, and then stood up and said: "What Comrade Oshanina said just now, everyone has heard it. Facts have proved that the vision of the Supreme Command and the Front Command is correct. Our new chief of staff not only has rich combat experience, but also has a very high theoretical level. I believe she must adapt to the role of chief of staff and lead our troops to achieve more brilliant results. Let’s continue to listen to Deputy Commander Lin’s speech."

President Lin continued to point the map with the explanation stick and said: "The main force currently defending Volokolamsk is the 7th Guards Division of Colonel Griaznov. Here they are holding down the strength of the enemy’s four mechanized divisions. , The enemy cannot advance to Moscow through here. But this alone is not enough. Our task is not only to block the enemy, but also to crush the invading enemy. The day before yesterday in the small village southwest of the city, the Seventh Division once surrounded the enemy. A small unit in China used the tactic of encircling and not fighting to induce the enemy to send troops for reinforcements, and the pre-amped troops broke out when the enemy entered the ambush circle and quickly wiped out the enemy and greatly reduced the frontal. The pressure of the battlefield. In the future battles of the large corps, everyone should brainstorm and use this tactic of "encircling the spot and fighting aid" to fight for the elimination of more enemies at a very small price...."

　　 The military theory explained by Mr. Lin gave me a refreshing feeling. Last time I stuck to Volokolamsk, although I used the "encircle the spot aid" created by his old man to be nondescript, I still wiped out a lot of enemies. If you can learn more applicable military theories from him, it will be handy when you have the opportunity to command larger forces in the future ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

　　 After the meeting, Vlasov asked me politely: "Comrade Oshanina, do you have any requests?"

The situation in Sun Mountain City is not so good now, and the defensive strength is relatively weak. Hearing his question, I also said smoothly: "Comrade Commander, our division currently has a serious shortage of troops to defend Sun Mountain City. I hope it can Add some troops for us." When I said this, I said in my heart that even if I added a hundred people, I would be satisfied.

I thought Vlasov would shirk or refuse, but he did not expect that he readily agreed: "Okay, I can agree to your request. It just so happened that the Moscow Garrison Command sent me two battalion reserve teams today. Let me add it all to you." After he ordered a staff officer next to him: "Go and call the major from the Garrison Headquarters."

　　The major of the garrison headquarters followed the staff and came to Vlasov, standing and saluting: "Report to the commander, comrade commander, the major of the garrison command, Resdayev, report to you and listen to your instructions."

Vlasov shook hands with the major and said, "Comrade Major, because of the weak forces of Sun Mountain City, the headquarters has decided to place you under the command of the Eighth Guards Division. I will introduce you. This is the Chief of Staff of the Group Army. Major General Oshanina, commander of the Eighth Guards Division."

Major 　　 came to me, respectfully saluted the military, and said excitedly: "Hello, Comrade Commander! I am very happy to accept your command again."

　　 I did not return the gift, but directly reached out to him and said happily: "Major Resdayev, I am also very happy to see you again."
