Burning Moscow

Seeing the dramatic transition of offensive and defensive battles before me, I couldn't help but enjoy. This kind of battle is not so much fighting, it is more appropriate to say exercises. The Romanian Army soldiers are like the Blue Army arranged by the exercise command. After the preparations for artillery fire are over, they follow behind the tank and attack the intended target. Once they encounter obstacles, they will hurriedly retreat with a slight counterattack.

Our army stood firmly in the position, stubbornly repelled several waves of the enemy's offensive, and then launched a full-line counterattack with the support of the Air Force. At present, the enemy is being wiped out by our army bit by bit, as is common in exercises.

The counterattack of the 147th Division achieved great results. It wiped out an entire Romanian division, captured more than 400 soldiers, and seized many heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery.

The counterattack of Cui Kefu's troops also achieved the desired goal. The units of the 783th and 804th regiments, after being strengthened by the 66th Marine Brigade and the 137th Tank Brigade, also fought extremely bravely in subsequent battles. When the German army occupying the position was wiped out by our air force, they quickly regained the 79th State Farm and the original 229th Division's headquarters-155 Heights, and reconsolidated their positions.

Seeing that the defense line of the 147th Division returned to calm again, Kolpakci assuredly took us back to the group army command. After all, our defensive focus is still on the defensive areas of the 192nd and 181st Divisions. Although the Germans remained silent for a whole day during the day, no one knows when they will launch a sudden attack.

Seeing us back, Gurov, who was in the headquarters, just stood up. Before he could speak, Kolpakic had already asked, "Comrade Military Commissioner, how is the situation here?"

Gurov shook his head and said, "The wind is calm, and the Germans on the opposite side show no signs of attack."

Because of the sudden attack by the Germans yesterday evening. Because of the heavy casualties of our army, Kolpakchi, who was originally careless, became cautious. He also deliberately repeatedly exhorted: "Comrade Military Commissioner. Tell the troops below to be more vigilant. Beware of the Germans from launching a surprise attack again. "

Seeing that he had been bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the rope, I couldn't help but tell him that since the Germans did not attack at this time, they would not attack again. We must know that although the Germans caught us by surprise yesterday and once captured the position of the 192nd Division, their offensive ended in failure. The commander of the German army was not a fool, and yesterday's raid was not effective. Using the same tactics today, a surprise attack may evolve into a strong attack at any time, which is something the other party does not want to see.

I mustered up the courage to tell Kolpakchi of my judgment. Unexpectedly, he took Gurov to study the map on the table first. Seeing the two people's so focused expressions, I didn't bother to bother me, and went to the staff at the wall to open the battle report.

The familiar combat staff officer saw me, nodded politely, and asked kindly: "I'm back. Comrade Lieutenant Colonel."

"came back."

The combat staff seemed to see my plan and handed me a stack of battle reports, saying, "These are the latest battle reports."

I took the battle report, thanked me, and asked in a low voice: "Comrade Staff. Is there anything new?"

The combat staff looked around and saw that the commander and the military commissar were all looking at the map, so he approached me and said in a low voice, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I tell you that the position where Captain Semikov was located has been lost."

"Ah?!" I was shocked when I heard the news, and quickly lowered my voice and asked: "Comrade Staff, what is going on?"

"In the afternoon, the Germans concentrated their superior artillery fire on Shemikov's hilltop positions, and then used infantry to charge. Because the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, the surface positions of our troops on the hilltop were completely destroyed, and the enemy quickly charged. Reaching the top of the mountain. The surviving soldiers of our army rushed up and fought them desperately, repelling them seven times in a row. But in the end, except for a few commanders and fighters who successfully broke through, the rest were gloriously sacrificed."

"Where is Semikov? How about Captain Semikov?" Hearing the bad news, I couldn't help but worry about the captain who had only known him for a few days.

"Captain Shemikov is fine. He was only slightly injured. He took a dozen soldiers and rushed out of the enemy's encirclement. Not long before you and the commander came back, he went to the headquarters to report to the comrades of the military committee. Past the battle."

Speaking of Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, I was talking with the combat staff officer about Captain Semikov, but he appeared in the command headquarters unexpectedly. He didn't wear a hat, he had a thick bandage wrapped around his forehead, and his military uniform was torn and dusty. He walked up to Kolpakchi, raised his hand in salute, and said with a shame: "Report to Comrade Commander, I'm back!"

Kolpakchi looked him up and down, walked over to put his hands on his shoulders, and asked with concern: "Comrade Captain, are you injured?"

Shemikov replied: "The enemy's shell hit our shelter, and my head was smashed by the falling wood. The military doctor checked it and said that there was a slight concussion."

"What about the position? Didn't I ask you to hold on until dark? Why did you come back at this time?" Knowing that Semikov's injury did not matter, Kolpakic again cared about our army's position behind the Germans.

Shemikov lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, I did not complete the task you assigned to me~www.wuxiaspot.com~Because the enemy has an absolute advantage in artillery and air force, under their powerful firepower, The fortifications on our army's position were completely destroyed. Although the soldiers acted very tenaciously and fought desperately against the enemies who rushed into the position, we had to withdraw from the battle and break through because of the disparity in strength."

"How many people in the three regiments highlight the encirclement?" Kolpakic asked nervously. We must know that in that position, our army has invested a division in front and back with nearly 8,000 troops. If we can highlight more commanders and fighters, we can deploy them in important defensive areas. So Kolpakchi's gaffe at this time is normal.

"I brought seventeen soldiers out from the east of the hill, and the other two regiment leaders each brought a company of soldiers to break through the encirclement to the south and west respectively. There is no news of them, nor Know if they stand out."

After listening to Shemikov's report, I secretly calculated the surviving troops, two companies, full fight is only two hundred people, and now the whereabouts of these two small units are unknown, it is estimated that the surviving forces are more and more fortunate. In other words, of the 8,000 people in that position, now only Captain Semikov and his seventeen people remain. The second is the loss of our army’s casualties. Once Semikov and the rest of the position are lost, the German troops who are held back will have no worries. They can swagger around and concentrate their superior forces on the defensive area of ​​our army to launch a fierce attack. It is the most headache.
