Burning Moscow

Although Lukin and Slaven were confident about the night raid at night, I still felt unsure in my heart. After all, this was my first battle after the 64th Army. If I win, I can become famous and improve the morale of the troops; but if I fail, then I will lose my reputation. The end result is to go back to the 62nd Army as a combat staff.

For the sake of safety, I also deliberately asked: "Captain Lukin, did the scouts you sent provide a detailed map of the enemy's main camp?"

"Yes, comrade commander." Lu Jin said, pushing a square piece of paper on the table in front of me. When I took a look at the map, it turned out to be a topographic map drawn with a pencil. Lukin pointed to the drawing and said to me: "Please see, this is the sketch brought back by the scouts. From the picture, you can see that the Germans don't pay much attention to the camp for storing their luggage, which is a bit far away from their main force. In the front is the tent of the defender, and trucks full of weapons and ammunition are parked behind. The number of the defenders is small, only about a hundred people, and there are mobile outposts around the camp."

I looked at the map in front of me, which was rough but with detailed markings, and asked suspiciously, "Captain Lukin, if I remember correctly, you only returned from the ferry not long ago. Even if you sent scouts to reconnaissance, It is impossible to send back the detected intelligence so quickly. There is no fraud in this, right?"

Regarding my suspicion, Lu Jin smiled embarrassedly and said: "Comrade commander, you don’t know. In fact, before our regiment received the retreat order, it sent scouts to sneak into the enemy’s back to perform reconnaissance missions. When the ferry exited the defensive line, the soldiers who went out for reconnaissance also just returned. That's why the map in front of you is available.

Hearing what he said, my heart is finally at ease, it seems that even if I don't come. They will also launch an attack on the enemy’s heavy camp tonight, seizing weapons and ammunition to arm the unarmed soldiers. I stared at the map and asked Lukin: "Comrade Captain, have you considered. After completing the attack, how to ensure the safe evacuation of the convoy transporting ammunition? You know. If a truck full of ammunition is found, it will only be necessary to recruit German troops for a while. With artillery fire, it's all over."

My question caused Lu Jin to be stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Comrade commander, you make a lot of sense. If the convoy is hit by artillery fire on the way back, it will be really hard to retreat. What are you doing? If you want to, tell me your plan." He said the last sentence to Slavin.

Slaven put his head over, stared at the map for a long time, and finally pointed his finger at the heavy camp and said: "It seems we can only take a risk. It is only five kilometers from the camp to our position, and it only takes a few minutes to run at full power. We can reach the position. In such a short period of time, even if the Germans are aware of it, there is no time to determine the location of the bombardment. The probability of our successful escape is still very high."

Seeing that the details of the night raid were almost perfect, I didn’t make any further faults. Instead, I urged Lu Jin: “Comrade Captain, remember to tell the frontier troops to pay attention to identification when picking up the returning truck. Don’t be alone. I'm fighting." At this point, I looked up at the commander present, waved and said: "The meeting is over, everyone should go back to their respective units. Captain Lukin stay."

Lu Jin, who had stood up and wanted to leave with the other commanders, immediately stopped when he heard me say this and sat down again.

After everyone in the command post had left, I began to talk to Lu Jin: "It's been a long time, Comrade Lu Jin, are all the injuries healed?"

Lukin smiled embarrassedly and replied: "Comrade commander, thank you for your concern. My injuries are all healed. During the station defense battle, Sapochuk and I were seriously injured and were sent to Yuri. Naya’s military hospital. Fortunately, both of us survived. My injury recovered very quickly. Within half a month, I was able to walk on the ground. And Sapochuk’s luck was almost too bad, his Although the shrapnel from the waist was taken out, he needed to be in bed for training. He couldn't move while watching me walking around, so he sweared on the bed every day."

I nodded and said softly, "Lukin, I met Lesdayev a few months ago. He took the initiative to tell me about you and Sapochuk. I can meet again here today. You, I feel very happy.” Having said that, I raised my head and looked at the roof, sighed softly, and said to myself: “If any day the three company commanders of the Independence Camp can appear at the same time Just in front of me."

"If you have a chance, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." Lukin said: "Resdayev is now a major of the Moscow Garrison Headquarters, and Sapochuk has also served as a company commander in Feyjuninsky's 54th Army. ..."

"What? What did you say? Please repeat. You just said that Sapochuk arrived in the 54th Army?" Lukin's sudden statement really shocked me. "I also served in the 54th Army. A combat staff officer for a period of time. When did Sapochuk go?"

Lu Jin thought for a while and replied: "It's around May this year." Maybe because I was afraid I didn't understand, he also explained specifically: "We were assigned to the reserve army after we recovered from the hospital and were discharged from the hospital. In the first few months, the highest The headquarter drew troops from the reserve army to replenish the Volkhov front army, and the regiment that Sapotchuk was in was transferred away."

I was slightly disappointed when I heard that Sapochuk was the 54th Army who had only gone after May: "At that time, I was transferred to the 2nd Assault Army to be the battalion commander."

We were recounting the old, the phone on the table rang. Lu Jin picked it up and listened for a while, he immediately stood up, straightened his body, and handed me the microphone, and reminded me in a low voice: "The commander of the group is the phone of the commander of the group army."

I took the microphone, and when I heard Cuikov's hoarse voice, I quickly smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Commander of the Group Army. I am Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina. Do you have any instructions?"

Cui Kefu asked: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, how about it, have you met all your subordinates?"

"I've seen them all, I just finished the combat mission for them?"

"Combat mission?! What combat mission?" Cui Kefu asked in a puzzled manner after hearing what I said.

"Comrade Commander, you know, our regiment is newly formed. In addition to insufficient training and lack of combat experience, the soldiers also have a serious lack of weapons. When the enemy attacks us aggressively tomorrow, you can never let our soldiers , Go and fight the enemy armed to your teeth with your bare hands, right?"

"You are planning to attack the enemy's main camp and seize weapons to arm the troops?" You are indeed a commander. He is more comprehensive than us in terms of the problem. Although I haven't talked about the combat mission, he has already guessed it. He said displeased: "It's just playing the piano, have you reported such a big action to the division?"

Hearing his question, I suddenly broke down in cold sweat, but no, I patronized and chatted with Lu Jin, and even forgot what I reported to the division. I quickly defended and said: "Comrade Commander, I am planning to report to the division. Report, I didn’t expect your call to come first.” At this point, I raised my hand and wiped the cold sweat on my forehead~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then said, “I sent troops to take the enemy’s luggage, but it’s not. Attack, but sneak attack at night. We have made careful arrangements, and the chance of success is still very high."

Cui Koff was silent for a moment, and then said: "Well, I believe you will be successful. But I still want to remind you that such a big military operation must be reported to your superior, General Biliukov, immediately, otherwise it will go out. Anything wrong, waiting for you, will be a trial by the military court." After finishing speaking, before I could speak, I hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, I weighed the action plan again and again, and told Lukin: "Call the seventh company commander, Captain Slaven. I have something to tell him."

After answering Slavin's phone, I said loudly to him: "Comrade Captain, the success of tonight's operation depends on how you command it. Remember, your mission is a sneak attack, not a force attack. Use your brains more and think about what you can do to destroy the enemy’s guards without disturbing nearby enemies. The later you are discovered by the enemy, the higher your chances of escape. Okay, I’ll just say that. good luck!"
