Burning Moscow

Sopauli’s words are equivalent to my affirmation. I was very excited after hearing this. I didn't expect this taciturn political commissar would actually believe me so.

I shook his stretched hand and said, "Comrade Political Commissar, please rest assured that as long as I am the commander of the 678th Regiment, I will be able to hold our position. I assure you, as long as there is one person on the ground. Now, we will never let the Germans break through our defenses. "Since others appreciate me so much, I must show my determination, but I can't say too much, otherwise it will appear empty. I have been in the army for more than a year, and I still know how to speak to the superiors and how to grasp the measure.

Sopaoli nodded in satisfaction, and said to me, Lukin and the others: "Your regiment has suffered a lot of casualties in today's air strikes. As the commander's casualties have been exhausted, the troops are now in a phase of command chaos and low morale. I hope you As soon as possible in the company, select outstanding fighters to serve as new commanders at all levels, so that the troops can quickly regain their combat effectiveness."

Regarding his proposal, not only I nodded, but Lu Jin and the other commanders also nodded.

Sopaoli went on to say: "Although time is a little bit rushed, in order to ensure the safety of the line of defense, this work must be implemented as soon as possible. Whether our division's defensive area can be maintained requires everyone's joint efforts."

I took over from him and said: "Please rest assured, the political commissar. I will work on this matter when I turn around. I will try to appoint new commanders in the company in the shortest time possible, improve the command system of the troops, and restore the combat effectiveness of the whole regiment. . However, I don’t think we can just stay on the ground and wait for the enemy to attack, but we should take some measures to achieve the purpose of active defense." I say this with ulterior motives, and I want to use this to test Sobauli. His attitude depends on what kind of person he is.

Sopaoli heard this. He smiled and said: "Positive defense? Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, your statement is quite new, but I remind you that the mission of your regiment is to defend the current position, and don't do anything new. If something happens. If you make mistakes, you have to go to a military court."

Sopaoli’s words completely cut off my mind. The matter has been clarified. The tactical thinking of Biliukov and Sopaoli is still quite conservative. According to their intention, all the commanders and fighters of the 214th Division should be used. After taking the time to rush to repair the work, he quietly nestled in the position, waiting in fright for the enemy to bombard them with planes.

After returning to the regiment command post, I first found a seat facing the entrance, looked up and said to the commanders standing in the room: "Comrade commanders, what are you still trying to do? Sit down quickly. Ah." As I said, I raised my hands, pressed the palms of my hands down, and signaled everyone to sit down.

After everyone was seated, I leaned on my side and said to Lu Jin: "Comrade Captain, tell me about the situation in the regiment."

Lu Jin shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, the situation is very bad. Because of the German air attack at the ferry, the casualties of the troops were heavy, and the regiment leader, political commissar and several battalion commanders were all sacrificed. There are only a few of us left with the above commanders." At this point, he turned his head to the other commanders at the table. Seeing him looking at him, the commanders nodded vigorously, indicating that he was completely correct.

I nodded slightly and said softly, "Comrade Lukin, I know what you said. What I want to know now is the current situation of the troops. What measures have you taken?"

"After we returned to the position, we reorganized it according to the actual situation of the troops. This matter was taken care of by Captain Slaven, the seventh company commander. He should report the specific situation to you." Finished. He turned to Slavin and said, "Captain, please report the situation of the reorganization of the troops to the head of the regiment."

Slavin stood up, straightened up, and reported to me loudly: "Reporting regiment commander comrade, due to the large number of casualties of the troops, many organizations have been defeated, so we reorganized the remaining troops. Totally, we reorganized the remaining troops. It is organized into seven infantry companies, as well as guard platoons, engineer platoons, reconnaissance platoons, sanitation platoons, and communications platoons. Except for Captain Lukin and you, the rest are company commanders from the seventh company. ."

After listening to his report, I nodded in satisfaction, saying that Lu Jin had considered very comprehensively and had prepared a guard platoon so that the safety of the regiment command post could be guaranteed. I praised: "Captain Slaven, good job! Is there any urgent problem that needs to be solved?"

Slavin nodded and said bitterly: "Comrade commander, there is really an urgent problem to be solved. Our division is adapted from the reserve army. Most of the soldiers are recruits and lack training and combat experience." Here, he paused intentionally. Seeing that I was nodding to indicate that he was listening, he continued: "Our weapons and equipment are seriously inadequate. Many soldiers don’t even have guns. If weapons are not issued anymore, soldiers with bare hands will not be able to stop them. Live fascist bandits armed to the teeth."

I heard that there are many fighters without weapons. I can’t help but frown and ask Lukin in a low voice, "Captain, what is going on? You have been in the battle for several days. Why are there so many fighters? Armed up?"

Lu Jin whispered: "Comrade commander, our division is being transferred to this area. The munitions department once said that after reaching the defensive zone, there will be someone in the logistics department to replenish weapons and ammunition for us. As a result, we rushed here to inquire. The weapons and equipment originally prepared for us have been allocated to other infantry divisions. For this matter, the division commander once went to the group army headquarters to find General Cui Kefu, and the commander promised to supplement us as soon as possible."

After hearing what he said, I couldn't help but snorted coldly, saying that it was as soon as possible, and with the efficiency of Lao Maozi, it would not be possible to get the arms rationed to us in half a month. Seeing that the battle is imminent, you can't wait stupidly, you have to figure out a solution yourself. Since I only came to the 64th Army and didn’t know everything, I humbly asked Lu Jin: "Wait for the Army to replenish our weapons and equipment. It seems that I can’t count on it in the short term. Comrade Lieutenant, what do you have? Is it a good way?"

Lu Jin smiled slightly and said: "Comrade regiment commander, according to the report of the reconnaissance platoon, five kilometers northwest of our army's position, the enemy has a place to store heavyweights, where a lot of weapons and ammunition are stored. I originally wanted to send people overnight. Go to blow up this batch of munitions, but now I change the main point. I plan to send troops to sneak attacks after dark, seize this batch of munitions from the enemy, and transport them back to arm our troops. I don’t know what you think of this plan? "

From Captain Lukin’s confident gaze, I suddenly realized that the tactical ideas I had instilled in their company commanders had taken root in their brains. The night attack tonight was just a small test. The best time. I laughed. I am sincerely happy for Captain Lukin~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He is no longer bound by the common sense learned in the military academy, and can adjust the combat deployment in time according to the specific situation. This is what I have Happy results.

Although I approved his plan in my heart, I still want to know more about the details, so I asked with interest: "Captain Lukin, I want to ask two questions. One is which branch you plan to send. The troops are going to carry out this night attack mission? Second, after capturing the arms, how can the arms be transported back?"

Lukin looked at the standing Slaven, and said: "I plan to hand this task to Captain Slaven’s Seventh Company. He has many veterans in his company and rich combat experience. I believe he will be able to Finished this mission brilliantly. Comrade Captain, are you confident to complete this mission?"

With a smile on his face, Slavin said confidently: "Please rest assured, the head and lieutenant. Seventh Company promises to complete the task assigned to us by the superior."

"How do you bring the arms back?" Thinking of the transportation of the mountain of arms, I couldn't help but ask again.

"There are many soldiers in my company who can drive, let them use trucks to transport arms, and try to bring more back. The remaining arms can't be cheaply made to the Germans. I will let the soldiers blow up all of them. ." ()
