Burning Moscow

When we walked into the room of the division headquarters, we saw a large map pinned to the front wall. A bald colonel was standing with his back to the door. On the wall was a gray-haired lieutenant colonel, pointing a wooden stick on the map. Give pointers.

　　 Captain Boroda took a step forward and reported loudly: "Comrade Commander, Captain Boroda will report to you. I am waiting for your order!"

　　 Hearing Boroda's voice, the lieutenant colonel stopped the explanation and turned his attention to us. The bald colonel turned around, looked at us up and down, and asked in an official tone: "I'm the commander Dorofeev, Comrade Lieutenant, which part are you from?" There was a hint of disdain in his tone.

　　 Boroda straightened his body and replied: "Report to Comrade Commander, I am an adjutant to General Meretskov, commander of the Front Army, and I have been ordered to perform a special task."

Hearing that it was the adjutant of the commander of the front army, with a special mission, Dorofeev’s tone became softened. He turned his eyes to me and tentatively asked Boroda: "Comrade Captain, this female soldier is again Who? You know that this is the division headquarters, not anyone can come in."

Without waiting for Boroda to speak, I hurriedly stepped forward and paid a military salute to Dorofeev, and said first: "Comrade Colonel, Major Oshanina, the battalion commander of the 1127th Regiment of the 327th Infantry Division of the 2nd Assault Army You report and await your orders."

　　 "Is it a major from the 2nd Assault Army?" Dorofeev walked over, circled me around, and asked in an unfriendly tone: "What about your rank? Why didn't I see it."

　　 I quickly took out the military rank mark from my pocket, held it in my hands for him to see, and explained: "When I broke out of the enemy's encirclement, I was afraid of losing my military rank, so I temporarily took it off."

　　Dorofeyev snorted heavily, and said sarcastically: "I'm afraid of losing my military rank. This is really the biggest joke I have ever heard. I think you are greedy for life and afraid of fleeing."

"Comrade Commander, I don't agree with you." Captain Boroda promptly stood up and said kindly to me, "Major Oshanina will never escape. She has participated in many battles and achieved considerable results. Even Commander Meretskov praised her as an excellent commander with fighting spirit...."

Dorofeev interrupted Boroda very rudely. He said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade commander of the front army must have been deceived. If she is an outstanding commander, then her uniform is Isn't something missing?" He pointed to his chest, where a medal was pinned.

　　 Captain Boroda heard him say that, he was speechless, so he shrugged at me, spread his hands, and signaled to me that he was helpless. I smiled at the captain, did not speak, but took out the cloth bag from my pocket and opened it gently in front of several people, revealing the four dazzling medals inside.

　　As soon as my medal was displayed, I immediately suppressed the few in front of me. The general military medal is nothing, as long as you have participated in a few battles, you can get it. However, the Red Flag Medal is awarded to citizens of the Russian Federation who have directly participated in the battle and have been particularly brave and brave. It is very difficult to get one, let alone three.

The atmosphere in the room was a little embarrassing. The gray-haired lieutenant colonel came over and offered to extend his hand to me: "Hello! Major Oshanina. My name is Samoylov, the chief of staff of the 378th Division. You must be very tired after driving such a long way. Sit down and rest and have a cup of tea with honey."

The deadlock was invisibly resolved by the Chief of Staff. Dorofeev quickly used this step to get himself down, saying, "Yes, yes! I have spoken, but I haven't invited you to sit down yet." He said and took a seat. Sit gesture, "Let's sit down and talk."

　　 After we were seated, the chief of staff poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of me and Boroda. Dorofeev asked Boroda in a pleasing tone: "Comrade Captain, do you know where I can help you?"

Boroda was not polite, nodded and said: "Comrade commander, I was ordered to rescue General Vlasov of the 2nd Assault Army. On the way, I met Major Oshanina who had escaped from the encirclement. She brought the news that General Vlasov was besieged in the village of Piatnica. Because the squad led by me encountered the Germans on the way forward, and after fierce fighting, almost all casualties were lost. Because of this. We currently do not have the strength to rescue General Vlasov. The commander of the front army ordered me to temporarily return to find new troops and participate in the rescue battle. I don’t know if the division commander can send troops to attack with me to the village of Piatnica. Go to rescue the friendly forces?"

　　Dorofeyev frowned and thought. Judging from his expression, he didn't want to send troops. Sure enough, he sighed and said: "Comrade Captain, I also want to send soldiers to help you. But no, I can't send troops without the orders of my superiors."

　　 Boroda stood up, fixed his eyes on Dorofeev, and said, "Comrade Colonel, if you need an order, I can immediately contact the commander of the front army and ask him to give you the order directly."

　　 The chief of staff pointed his finger at a telephone on the wooden table in the corner, and said, "Comrade Captain, it is a high-frequency telephone that can directly talk to the front command."

Boroda walked over, picked up the phone, dialed a number, and then said, "Please pick me up from the front headquarters." After a while, he continued, "I am Captain Boroda, please help me find Next to General Meretskov, I have important things to ask him." After a minute or two of waiting, he spoke again, "Hello, Comrade Commander of the Front Army, I am Captain Boroda. I am now The division headquarters of the 378th Division of the 59th Army is calling you..."

　　 After talking for a few minutes, he turned around, covered the microphone with his hand, and said to Dorofeev: "Comrade commander, the commander of the front army will speak to you in person."

Hearing that the commander of the front army was going to talk to himself, Dorofeev flushed with excitement. He rushed to the wall in two steps, took the call from Boroda’s hand, and said into the microphone: "You Okay, Comrade Commander of the Front Army, I'm Colonel Dorofeev, commander of the 378th Division...."

　　 After the colonel answered the phone, Boroda returned to the table and sat down, taking a sip from his cup of tea. "I've heard of you, Comrade Captain." The chief of staff suddenly spoke.

　　 "Really? Comrade Lieutenant Colonel. I don't know what you have heard of me?"

"I once heard one of my comrades working in the Command of the Group Army tell you that when the Great Patriotic War broke out, you who were awarded the Red Flag Medal were still the 5th border station near Suo Yarvi on the border between Suo Yar and Finland. Lieutenant station commander. After the battle began, the Finnish army surrounded the border station. You led our soldiers to repel the enemy twelve attacks in two days. So the enemy began bombarding the border station. You stood by during the siege. Twenty-two days. When the ammunition ran out, you led the soldiers into a hand-to-hand fight with the enemy, and finally broke through from the front of the enemy's unexpected direction, and got rid of the enemy's pursuit with full equipment and the wounded. Five days later, your squad and our army reunited. For this, you and your comrades were commended, and you also won the second Red Flag Medal. "Leading the troops to break through from the front of the enemy? ! I heard that Li Yunlong had done this kind of thing. It seems that this captain is also a great person. No wonder he can get the respect of Meletskov.

　　 Boroda heard that the lieutenant colonel said this, and said with a slight smile: "Comrade Chief of Staff, I don't expect you to have a good understanding of my past."

The lieutenant colonel went on to say: "I haven't finished yet. My comrades in arms also said that you were later transferred to the 7th Army. You were wounded while fighting near Petrozavodsk. After your wounds, you became an army military. The commander of the guard company of the committee. Later, after you met Commander Meretskov, you were transferred to the Operations Division of the Front Command as an assistant to the chief. Am I right? Comrade Captain."

　　 "Exactly correct, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel."

Colonel Dorofeev returned after the phone call and issued the latest order to the Chief of Staff: "Comrade Chief of Staff, according to the command of the commander of the front, immediately mobilize troops and hand them over to Captain Boroda to command, and go to Piatni as soon as possible. Chacun rescued General Vlasov who was trapped there."

　　 "According to orders~www.wuxiaspot.com~comrade commander, I will immediately mobilize troops." After that, the chief of staff got up and went to the corner to call.

　　 Less than five minutes later, the chief of staff came back and said, "Comrade commander, our troops have been transferred. Eight infantry companies and one tank regiment are all under the command of Captain Boroda."

　　 Captain Boroda raised his hand to check the time and said, "It is three o'clock in the afternoon, Comrade Chief of Staff, can you tell me how long it will take for the troops to be assembled?"

The chief of staff also raised his hand to look at his watch, and replied: "It will take about three and a half hours, that is, at six o'clock, the troops can be assembled." At this point, he added as if an apology: "Know that. The troops of the entire division are scattered in a large combat area. It takes time to gather together."

"Three hours is too long, Comrade Chief of Staff." Boroda said with some dissatisfaction. It will take seven or eight hours. By the time we got there, it was already midnight...."

　　 "Comrade Captain," I interrupted Boroda, "Comrade Chief of Staff has done his best. After all, it is not an easy task to gather the scattered troops. Let's wait patiently."

　　 "Yes, Major Oshanina is right." Dorofeev also echoed me and said, "Assembling the troops in three hours is already our limit."

　　 Hearing what all of us said, Captain Boroda said helplessly: "Understood, Comrade Major. It seems that I can only wait patiently for now."
