Burning Moscow

Just when the defense line of Trikov’s troops was in danger, General Volxin, the commander of the 147th Division, called and said that his division’s defensive positions were being attacked by the enemy.

Kolpakchi's expression changed a bit after hearing this. His fingers tapped on the wooden table uneasily. After a while, he stood up abruptly, grabbed the big brimmed hat on the table, and raised his head. Dai, said to Gurov, "Comrade Military Commissioner, the headquarters is here for you, and I will go to the 147th Division to see." After speaking, before Gurov could say anything, he pointed to me. Said: "Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, you come with me."

Sitting in the jeep heading to the 147th Division’s headquarters, I kept murmuring in my heart: “When Zhukov commanded the battle, he stayed in the headquarters. After he learned about the battle by telephone and telegram, he gave orders to the troops. Handsome. And Kolpakic, just like Meletskov, as long as there is an enemy situation on the front line that is unfavorable to our army, he will immediately lead a group of people in the command to the front line to personally direct the battle. This is probably a high-level command. Different command styles among the staff."

After driving for more than ten minutes, the jeep stopped by a trench covered by a camouflage net. After the driver stopped the car, he turned to Kolpakchi who was sitting in the back row and said, "Comrade Commander, the division of the 147th Division is here."

After hearing the driver talk about the place, I didn't dare to neglect, and quickly pushed the door to jump out of the car, went around from the back of the car to the rear door on the other side, and opened the door for Kolpakchi.

After getting out of the car, Kolpakic thanked me, and stood there for a while, waiting for the guards in the two jeep cars to come over before leading us down a gap into the trenches.

We walked forward along the trench. The commanders and fighters encountered along the way stopped their work, leaning back against the trench and raising their hands to salute Kolpakchi.

When there were more than ten meters away from the command post, the division commander General Volkhin and political commissar Kotov, who had received the news, greeted them from the command post with a group of staff officers. Volshin saw Kolpakchi personally come to his defense zone. When raising his hand to salute, he asked in surprise: "Comrade Commander, why did you come here in person?"

Kolpakchi asked straightforwardly: "Comrade Commander, how is the situation?"

"The enemy's two attacks were repelled by us." As soon as he said this, there was another rumble of cannons in the distance, following the reputation. A small hill one kilometer away is being attacked by enemy fire. A round of artillery shells fell on our army's position and exploded, raising black smoke clusters.

Seeing that the enemy’s shelling had begun again, Volkhin quickly greeted Kolpakchi: “Comrade Commander, it’s not safe outside. Let’s advance to the command post.”

Kolpakic did not speak. Just nodded in agreement. Seeing the commander walk into the division command post, Volxin followed in with a large group of people. I wanted to go in, but I walked to the door to see that it was too narrow inside. A dozen people walked in, feeling a little bit unable to turn around, and then consciously retreated.

I looked up at the camouflage net above my head. Feeling that this kind of camouflage should not be easily spotted by the Germans, he found a position in the trenches with a wide view and raised the telescope to look at the distant position.

The enemy's shelling became more intense, and the bomb fell to the explosion, remembering that the dust was flying, and the entire position was enveloped in smoke. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help worrying about the commanders and fighters on the ground. They did not receive the support of our army's artillery fire. They could only hide in the fortifications and be beaten passively. The casualties were definitely not small.

However, the enemy’s shelling soon ended, after the smoke cleared. You can clearly see the enemy's infantry slowly advancing to our army's position under the cover of the tank. Hundreds of corpses and several burning tanks lay down in front of our army's position. From this look, we can see that it was the result of our army's commanders and fighters' previous battles.

When the enemy was only fifty or sixty meters away from the position, the rifles and machine guns on the position fired together. The dense fire net immediately defeated the enemies who rushed up. The soldiers in the front row fell one after another, and the ones behind hurriedly fell down and shot. The tank stopped in place, slowly turning the turret, and from time to time fired a shell at the powerful position of our army's position to cover the infantry's attack.

After several tanks serving as cover missions were destroyed by our army's anti-tank guns, the enemy soldiers lost the courage to continue their offensive. They got up from the ground and retreated to the starting position just now.

At this moment, I heard someone calling me next to me, and turned my head to see, it turned out to be a guard soldier who had come from the headquarters. He saw that I noticed him, and said quickly: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, the commander wants you to visit the division command post."

I followed the soldiers back to the command post. As soon as I walked in, I found that there were fewer people in the room. Apart from Kolpakci, Volkhin, and Kotov, there were only two or three staff officers. I walked up to Kolpakchi, who was sitting at the table looking at the map, raised my hand in salute, and reported in accordance with the regulations: "Comrade Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina was ordered to come here and await your orders."

Kolpakchi looked up at me and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, where have you been just now?"

I dared not hide it, and answered honestly: "I had too many people in the command post, so I went to the trench to find a place with a wide view and watched the whole battle there."

"After reading it, what do you think?"

"I found something wrong with this attacking enemy."

Hearing what I said, Kolpakic asked with interest: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Let's listen."

"The combat power is too weak, it can be said to be collapsed. I am worried about whether they have any conspiracy to deliberately make us think that their offensive is vulnerable. When we relax our vigilance, we will use a powerful force to pounce and take our army in one fell swoop. position."

Kolpakchi laughed happily after hearing it, making me confused and wondering why he laughed. He laughed for a while before he said disapprovingly: "Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, you are too worried. There will be no conspiracy, these enemies are already weak in combat effectiveness."

I thought I had heard it wrong. The German army's combat effectiveness was weak. Then they could beat Cui Kefu's troops to flee in embarrassment. Doesn't this mean that our troops are all improvised mobs and are even more vulnerable?

Just when I was puzzled. It was General Volxin who solved the mystery for me: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, do you think this enemy's combat effectiveness is a bit ridiculously low?" At this point, he paused deliberately, seeing me nodding, and then continued: "Because it attacked our army's position. It was not a German at all."

"Not a German?!"

"Yes, our frontal enemy is a Romanian division."

"Romanian division?!" It suddenly dawned on me, no wonder the combat power was so weak, it turned out to be the army of the servant country. In the previous battle in Pologno, he had fought against the French Volunteers. At that time, I felt that their combat effectiveness was weak, and I didn't expect to encounter another country's army here, but it would still be vulnerable. I look forward to having the opportunity to fight against the famous Italian troops in the Stalingrad battle that will start soon, to see if their combat effectiveness is as weak as the legend has it.

Just talking. A lieutenant hurriedly rushed into the command post. Without even shouting a report, he excitedly said to Volxin: "Comrade Commander, plane, our plane!"

Walsin looked at the lieutenant a little displeased, and said nonchalantly: "Comrade Lieutenant, what is worth your fuss about. Didn't you see Comrade Commander here?"

The lieutenant saw Kolpakchi sitting in the room and quickly raised his hand to salute, and explained: "Comrade Commander, I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now. I saw our fighter plane appeared in the sky, so I hurried. To report."

"What, our fighter?!" Kolpakic showed an unbelievable expression. It is no wonder that the battle has been fought for a few days, and the commander of the front army General Golddorf said air support. It hasn't appeared for a long time, and as a result, the air supremacy of the battlefield was handed over to the Germans. Without air cover, some of the battles we can win have to end in defeat. No one in the command post spoke, they were listening. quickly. We all heard the clear roar of airplane motors coming in from outside.

Kolpakic stood up and dashed out of the command post. Seeing that the commander had left the command post, the rest of the people rushed out, unwilling to lag behind.

Standing in the trenches, I looked up through the camouflage net above my head, and saw dozens of fighters lined up in a neat formation, flying over our trenches.

Our fighter planes gradually lowered their flying altitude and swooped down toward the enemy's starting position. When a bomb went down and landed on the enemy's tank, the tank became a pile of burning scrap iron; when it landed in the infantry queue, dozens of or twenty soldiers were blown to the ground. Sweep down a row of machine guns, you can beat the enemy hiding on the ground.

"It's great, the guys in the Air Force are really good, they did a beautiful job!" The political commissar Kotov couldn't help yelling excitedly when he saw this exciting scene. Although the others did not speak, everyone's faces showed joy.

At this moment, a staff officer came out of the command post and squeezed directly in front of Kolpakchi. He raised his hand to salute and reported: "Comrade Commander, the military commissioner called just now, saying that General Cuikov’s troops are getting our air force. After the support, a full-line counterattack has been launched."

"Comrade Commander," Volxin asked excitedly, "What should our teacher do, and should we also attack?"

Kolpakchi looked at him with a smile on his face and said faintly: "My comrade commander, what else can you do? Don't hurry up and order our troops to participate in the counterattack." Such a favorable fighter plane, no matter which commander is changed, will not hesitate to choose to immediately counterattack across the board.

General Volxin agreed, without paying any respect, and turned around and ran to the command post. The people around quickly stepped back and gave him a passage. Kotov smiled and shook his head, walked to Kolpakchi, raised his hand in salute, and said in a very formal tone: "Comrade Commander, Kotov, political commissar of the 147th Infantry Division, reports to you that the troops are ready. Prepare to charge the enemy in front of you, and wait for your orders!"

"Go ahead, Comrade Political Commissar." Kolpakchi smiled and said, "Now it's our turn to teach the enemy hard~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You must teach them a profound lesson, so that they will live forever. I can't forget."

A few minutes later, with the loud charging horn, a team of soldiers with weapons leaped out of the trench, shouting "Ula", and lunged at the enemy.

Our fighter planes hovering over the battlefield cooperated very tacitly with the counterattack of the 147th Division. They threw bombs on the enemy's offensive positions, and used machine guns to shoot at the chaotic infantry, destroying the enemy's resistance and opening the way for our army's attack. The grassroots commanders of our army quickly saw the doorway and knew that the fighter planes were covering our army's counterattack operations, and immediately commanded the troops to rush towards the areas targeted by the planes.

The Romanian division’s offensive position was originally simple, with only one or two temporarily dug trenches, which could not withstand the powerful fortifications of our army. After a little resistance, the front line collapsed across the board. The swiftly moved soldiers jumped out of the trenches and pulled their legs toward the back. run. Those who moved slowly were either killed on the spot by our military commanders or fighters, or they obediently raised their hands and became prisoners. (To be continued.
