Burning Moscow

　　 Lieutenant Colonel Habi called Lieutenant Ugarde and several other officers into the tent, and assigned them the tasks we had just discussed.

　　 I checked my watch. It was just six o'clock, and it was at least four hours after the enemy plane was dispatched. I took advantage of this time to check the preparations of the female company.

　　 After Hobbi finished the assignment and several officers saluted him and left, I got up to say goodbye to him and Pucciko. Seeing that I was leaving, the two tried their best to stay and persuade me to stay, saying that they would see and see the newly formed air defense sentry system together later to see if they could play their due role in night air defense.

　　 I refused to say that I would go back to the women's company to check the formation of the air defense system, so that Lieutenant Colonel Hobby would call me when he noticed that the enemy plane was dispatched. Then I would come from the women's company again. When I said this, I left in a hurry, so much so that I caught a glimpse of the embarrassed look on the faces of Lieutenant Colonel Hobby and Puccico, and did not have time to think about what was going on.

　　 Back to the female company station, Kirianova and Orlova were waiting for me in the tent. As soon as I asked about the air defense posts, I immediately reported to me that four fighters were drawn from each platoon to set up a temporary air defense post in groups of three, which were rotated every six hours throughout the day. On duty.

　　 After reporting on the work, Orlova asked with some worry: "Lida, is this air defense sentry system really useful?"

　　 "It works, and it works pretty well." I replied unequivocally. Just kidding, the performance of American aircraft in ten years' time is much better than that of German aircraft. Isn't it the same as being confused by the heroic volunteers?

　　 "Lida," Kirianova asked again: "I want to ask one more question. After we have an air defense post, what is the mission of our antiaircraft artillery company when an enemy plane strikes?"

"It depends on the specific situation." When she asked, she really stopped me and thought about it for a while, and then replied: "If the sky is too dark to see the incoming enemy plane, the whole army will remain Concealed. If we open fire rashly, it is possible that the enemy plane will not come down, but our position will be exposed, and the enemy plane will be bombarded and fired, causing unnecessary casualties. We can't beat it, can't we still avoid it?"

"But..." Kirianova wanted to say something, but I waved her hand to stop it, and I added: "Of course we can't blindly avoid fighting. If we encounter a moon night, we have a good view and a clear view. If the enemy plane is found on the ground, we will fire decisively. Anti-aircraft guns hit the enemy plane by covering instead of hitting. With our existing artillery formation, we will concentrate the fire on an enemy plane, so that the shrapnel will form a dead-angle kill in the air. Area. As long as the enemy’s plane dared to crash into it, it will be called back and forth.... "Although I know that Kirianova and Orlova, as professionals, know more about these theoretical knowledge than I do, but I still talked a lot about them, mainly to give them a little confidence. After all, people are more or less skeptical about unknown new things.

　　 Having said this, Kirianova asked about my encounter with the German patrol in the afternoon. The two of them could know about it, obviously Naya came back to report to them. However, in the first stage of the battle, Naya shivered and hid behind me holding the gun, probably not seeing anything. Then I ordered Naya to go to Erlian in Baku for help. She was even more unclear about how the battle was going on and how it ended. The only thing that can report to his company commander and instructor is the obscure content of the German patrols on the road. After the battle, our army wiped out the enemy.

　　 I briefly described how I encountered the German patrol on the road and how the battle occurred. When I heard that the soldiers of Lieutenant Savchenko put the anti-aircraft guns horizontally and knocked out two armored vehicles of the German army. Orlova couldn't help but interjected and asked, "Lida, since anti-aircraft guns can be used to hit German armored vehicles, if our anti-aircraft guns are placed flat, can they be used to hit tanks? Of course, the premise is to be equipped with special Armor-piercing bullets will do."

When I heard her say this, I couldn’t help being stunned. When I was on Pulkovo Heights in early October last year, I suggested to the then Leningrad Front Commander General Zhukov to mobilize enough anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to deploy a line of defense. Specially used to fight German tanks and armored vehicles. It’s been a few months, why this kind of tactics hasn’t been popularized yet? Is it because Zhukov’s command style and many orders issued before leaving office were all taken by the newly appointed commander? We deny it?

　　 was thinking wildly, suddenly someone outside the tent called for a report. Kirianova shouted at the door: "Come in!"

　　 As soon as the voice fell, a female soldier carrying a rifle opened the curtain and walked in.

　　 "What's the matter?" Kirianova asked the female soldier.

　　 The female soldier reported: "Report to the company commander, the resident on the other side of the road seems to be calling the name of the major."

　　 "Really?" I stood up, opened the curtain and walked out, and I heard someone calling my name from a distance: "Major Oshanina, is Major Oshanina here?"

　　 "I'm Oshanina, what's the matter?" I yelled into the distance.

　　 "Lieutenant Colonel Hobby, please come over."

　　 "Okay, I get it, I'll go right away."

　　 I went back to the tent, packed my weapons, removed the magazine from the gun, took out the new magazine from the briefcase and installed it. In the busy process, I stared at the phone on the desk that hadn't ringed, and smiled bitterly: "This Lieutenant Colonel Hobby, if you have something to ask me, just call me. Why let the soldiers shout outside for a long time."

Orlova heard me say this, and quickly explained: "Lida, you may not know. Although we and the road guard team are under the management of General Shilov, our two belong to different systems. This phone only It can talk to the troops of this system. In other words, although we are close at hand, their calls cannot be reached, nor can our calls be made."

　　 "But, General Shilov should be able to directly contact all the troops on the ice transportation line?" I asked uncertainly.

　　 "That's natural. The general's office and duty room use a lot of telephones. It's very convenient to contact which unit you want."

　　After listening to Orlova’s explanation, I realized why when I left Lieutenant Colonel Hobby’s tent, the faces of the two male officers were embarrassed. Fortunately, the stove in the house is still warmer. Otherwise, our situation is really that we basically rely on shaking for heating, and basically relying on roaring when talking.

　　 Not long after I arrived at Lieutenant Colonel Hobby’s tent, the enemy plane arrived as expected. After a clear gunshot, the motorcades that had been told on the transportation line to turn off their lights one after another, turned off the lights on the side of the road to hide. And the fake convoy we arranged is now on the scene. Except for a few scrapped trucks with their lights on, the soldiers also put a lot of lanterns on the ice. From a distance, it really looks like a driving car. Fleet.

　　 Our camouflage tactics achieved the expected effect. The enemy aircraft flying over the ice transportation line swooped down towards the fake convoy, dropping bombs and strafing.

　　 Lieutenant Colonel Habi was standing outside the tent, and he couldn’t help but happily seeing the German plane being fooled and bombarding the fake convoy frantically. He couldn't help taking out the cigarette case and drew a cigarette out of it and dipped it on his mouth. When he was about to strike a match to light the cigarette, the political commissar next to Pucciko slapped the cigarette out of his mouth and whispered. : "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, don't smoke, be careful to expose your target."

　　 German planes went back and forth. Bombs and bullets were dumped desperately at the fake convoy location without money. It was not until the bombs were thrown out and all the bullets were lighted that they swaggered back and turned around.

Seeing the enemy plane going away, Lieutenant Colonel Habi waved his hand and said loudly, "Let’s go, let’s see how the German planes have fought?" Political Commissar Puchko said, "I want to ask about the situation in other areas. I'll accompany you there."

　　 We came to the place where the abandoned truck was originally placed, and saw that the ice here was all blown to pieces. According to Lieutenant Ugarde’s report, they set up eleven trucks and dozens of lanterns here. At this moment, there is nothing except the dark lake and the broken ice floating on it. It is estimated that it will sink early. Go to the bottom of the lake.

As soon as he walked into the tent, Pucciko told us excitedly: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, Major Oshanina, I just called the road protection teams in other areas, and they all reflect that the newly established air defense post system has played a great role. In the air strike just now, because of timely prevention, the transport team did not suffer any losses."

　　 Knowing that the air defense sentry system really played a great role tonight, my original worries disappeared. I breathed, and then said to Habi and Pucciko, "Comrades, comrades, there is nothing wrong with me. I will go back to the female company's station. I have not been sleeping well these days, so I take this opportunity to make up for my sleepiness. ."

　　 Pucciko said with a smile: "Go, Major Oshanina, I guess the enemy plane will not come again tonight, you can have a good night's sleep."

　　 Lieutenant Colonel Habi also asked with concern: "Do you need me to send someone to **** you back to the female company?"

　　 I waved my hand and declined his kindness. Just kidding, it's only a hundred meters away from the tent where I live. It's a bit too exaggerated to need someone to **** for such a short distance. After saluting the two, I turned around and got out of the tent.

　　 There was nothing to say all night, and I slept until dawn.

　　 When they were having breakfast with Kirianova, the phone rang on the table. Orlova, who was closest to the phone, picked up the receiver, and just said a word, she immediately stood up and said into the receiver repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Comrade Major is here. I will ask her to answer the phone right away. "Then handed the microphone over.

　　 I took the phone in her hand and gave a feed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then I heard the voice of Political Commissar Xijin: "Good morning, Major Oshanina. Are you having breakfast?"

　　 Hearing the voice of the political commissar, I quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Hello! Comrade political comrade."

"Comrade Oshanina, I congratulate you." Political commissar Hijin said straightforwardly. "The air defense post system you proposed was proved to be very effective in the air raid last night, effectively avoiding our military. The loss of the transport team." Then he slowed down and said, "General Shilov asked me to convey his apologies to you. He admitted that yesterday’s tone was a bit too heavy and made you feel wronged. Please don’t Mind!"

"Comrade political comrade, just look at what you said." The leader wants to apologize to me, but I still have to maintain a humble attitude, otherwise it will leave a bad impression on the leader, "It is because our work has not been done well, and the transportation team has suffered. Comrade General is right to criticize unnecessary losses...."

　　 He wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Higgin. He said on the phone: "You prepare and hitchhiking to the city, Commander Hozin and General Shilov want to see you."

I just wanted to ask if I didn’t have a business travel permit and would be arrested by the patrol as a deserter after entering the city, Higgin added: “You got off at the first checkpoint when you entered the city, and you almost fought last time. At the checkpoint of the city, I will ask my driver to pick you up there. Do you understand?"

　　 "Understood!" As soon as he finished saying this, Hijin hung up the phone.

　　 "Lida," Kirianova asked with concern, "What did the political commissar say on the phone?"

　　 "Let me enter the city immediately, saying that it is Commander Hozin and General Shilov who want to see me."
