Burning Moscow

　　 Several troops originally deployed to the west of Suvolovo withdrew that night, giving way to the German army to retreat westward. Of course, we will not let these fascist robbers leave easily. This seemingly calm avenue is covered with all kinds of landmines. Even if they can escape their new stronghold, they will pay a huge price.

　　When arranging the general offensive task for tomorrow, I first said: "In the general offensive battle tomorrow, I suggest that the cavalry units of the group army should not participate in the battle. The offensive troops are still mainly infantry, tank soldiers, and ski brigades."

　　 President Lin did not speak after listening, but nodded thoughtfully. But Vlasov asked strangely: "I said Lida, I want to hear your reasons for not letting the cavalry go to war?"

I coughed as usual, and said softly, "The cavalry is suitable for chasing and partial breakthroughs, and like the current task of attacking a strong defensive position, if the cavalry is sent to participate in the attack, besides increasing unnecessary casualties, I can't think of it. What kind of results can they achieve?" When I said this, I couldn't help but think of the cavalry unit that fell in front of the German position last time. My nose was sour, and my tears almost fell again. I blinked my eyes vigorously, and then continued: "I don't mean not to use cavalry units, but to gather all the cavalry. When the German army is defeated and flees, I will chase behind so that the enemy can be defeated. To hit hard."

　　 After listening to my explanation, Vlasov did not directly express his position. Instead, he looked at President Lin and asked: "Deputy Commander Lin, what do you think?"

"I agree with Comrade Chief of Staff's opinion." For my proposal, President Lin expressed support and added: "In addition to the cavalry, we will leave a tank brigade and ski brigade as a reserve of the group army. When the German army is defeated, It’s up to this force to perform the pursuit mission."

"Since you said the same, let's go on with the task like this!" After Vlasov finished speaking, he shouted to a staff officer behind: "Record my order: The cavalry regiment and division of the group army will not participate in tomorrow. Attack..."

　　 At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the bombardment began before the general attack on Suvolovo.

　　 I stood on the bell tower of the church with Vlasov, Lin and Shi Zhe, using binoculars to observe the German defense positions that are being shelled by our army. The so-called bell tower is actually more like a pavilion supported by only four pillars. There is a bronze bell with a diameter of more than a foot on the roof, and the long bell rope has been dragged to the ground. With a wide view here, you can clearly see that the German positions in the distance have been shrouded in smoke from the explosion.

　　 About ten minutes later, as a dull sound similar to thunder came from the southeast, a black cloud covered the sky. I moved the binoculars to the position where the sound was coming from, because I was not mentally prepared, after I saw what was making the sound, I couldn't help taking a breath.

　　 It turns out that dark clouds are made up of hundreds of planes. Although they fought for several months, encountered countless bombings by enemy aircraft, and even fought down a few with their own hands, so many planes flying in dense formations brought oppressive effects. The momentum made me feel unprecedented horror. I hurriedly called Vlasov and President Lin behind me: "Two commanders, look there, there are so many planes in the sky." My voice trembled slightly because of my nervousness.

Vlasov just turned his head and looked through the binoculars, then turned his attention back to the German position, and said lightly: "Lida, don’t be nervous, that’s our plane. They are here to bomb the German position. ."

　　Our plane! After so long, I finally saw our own aircraft in the sky, but they came to support us. The guards and soldiers on duty outside the church also saw the plane in the sky, and suddenly cheers were blasted. In any case, the appearance of its own fighter planes, bombers, and attack planes in the sky is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the troops.

　　 The air force came very timely. As soon as the artillery had finished firing the few artillery shells, the bombs of the plane fell on the streets of Suvolovo and exploded. As the bombers carried heavy bombs, in the fireballs and smoke from the explosions, parts of guns or artillery, and the residual limbs of the human body could be seen from time to time. The German tank that was parked on the street and was going to carry out a counter-attack when our army was attacking was ignited, rolled, and exploded by the bombs. From time to time, black figures emerged from the wreckage of the burning chariot, full of fire everywhere. Running, finally twitching and falling to the ground.

　　 After the Air Force finished its bombing and left, the general offensive of our army began. Nearly 10,000 commanders and fighters followed closely behind the tank troops and launched a fierce attack on the city shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

　　The escape route our army set aside for the German army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has been noticed by them. So except for a few troops left behind to resist, the rest were all under the cover of tanks and began to flee westward.

　　 Seeing this scene, Mr. Lin and Vlasov, who had been observing the enemy's situation, put down their binoculars and looked at each other with knowing smiles on their faces. Vlasov turned his head and said to me: "Lida, time is almost up. It's time for the reserve team to attack. Go and give orders."

　　 "Yes!" I replied excitedly, saluted the two of them, and then ran down the narrow spiral staircase.

　　As soon as I entered the command center, I went straight to the radio and let the communicator connect to the reserve channel. As soon as I heard someone talking, I immediately gave an order to them: "Brothers, the time has come for you to establish immortality. Let’s go and teach those Germans who run away so hard that they will never forget. The failure suffered today."

After giving the order, I was about to go back to the clock tower, but was stopped by a staff officer. He pointed to a little old man in a black coat and cotton cap and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, this is a reporter from Moscow. He was ordered to come to the front line to interview."

　　 I politely nodded to the senior reporter, reached out to him friendly, and said, "Hello, I am Major General Oshanina, Chief of Staff of the 20th Army, and I am glad to see you!"

He took my hand, shook it vigorously, and responded to me: "Hello, Comrade Oshaninna. Let me introduce myself. I am from Pravda, Izvestia, and Red Star. Special correspondent Ilya Grigorievich Allen."
