Burning Moscow

I was surprised by the news that Captain Slavin was actually the son of the division commander Bilyukov. A general who was a division commander did not use his power to put his son in the high-security group army headquarters or even the front army headquarters as a staff member, but instead put his son in the most dangerous combat unit. The night attack that was supposed to be denied, because I heard that his son was the commander, he changed his mind decisively and agreed to our combat plan. To know whether the night raid at night will succeed or not is still unknown. The officers and men involved in the operation face the fate of a life of nine deaths. When I think of this, I feel a little more admiration for Biliukov.

At the time I was thinking about it, Lu Jin had already dialed a series of company commanders and was assigning them the task of responding to Slavin. He spoke into the microphone for a while, then raised his head to cover the microphone and asked me for instructions: "Comrade commander, the second company commander wants to talk to you, do you think you can answer it or not?"

I nodded and said: "Okay! I'll talk to him a few words to see what he has." After speaking, I took the microphone from his hand and put it in my ear, I smiled and said to the microphone: " Hello, comrade company commander. I don't know what you want to do with me?"

"Hello, comrade commander." The other party called me respectfully, and when I heard his voice, I remembered that he was the officer who was talking about me with Slavin behind his back. He asked timidly: "I have a situation that I want to reflect to you, can I?".

"Of course, comrade commander." Because I can't remember his military rank, I can only call him his position. "If you have anything to say, see if I can help you solve it."

"That's it. Comrade head." After getting my permission. The little company commander summoned his courage and said: "Leg. Lukin called me just now and arranged for my company and company to meet Captain Slavin's troops. However, among the soldiers in my company, nearly half of the soldiers currently have no weapons. ..."

"What, half of the soldiers don't have weapons?" I frowned. "That is to say, your company can only send half of the men to pick up Captain Slaven tonight?"

"Yes, comrade commander." The second company commander finished the sentence. Some anxiously asked: "I don't know when the regiment can replenish weapons and ammunition for us?"

Hearing the second company commander’s question, I thought about it for a moment, and then he smiled and said to him: "Comrade company commander, don’t worry. When Captain Slaven’s troops have completed the sneak attack mission, I will bring back the enemy’s weapons and ammunition. , I will quickly replenish the missing weapons and ammunition for each company. At that time, the first and second companies that are responsible for the task will have the priority to select weapons."

Regarding my promise, the second company commander vowed to say: "Thank you, comrade commander, for your understanding of us. Please rest assured. We even promise to complete the task."

When I heard him say this, I felt more at ease. I nodded and said, "As long as you can complete the task satisfactorily, everything is easy to say."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Slaven and his company set off in the dark. After receiving a phone call from a company commander who was on the frontline mission, Lu Jin let out a long sigh and said, "Well, whether the operation tonight can be successful depends on Captain Slaven. We can. All you do is wait."

The hour hand pointed to twelve o'clock. Just as Lu Jin and I were walking around the command post in a hurry like ants on a hot pot, the phone rang on the table. I picked up the microphone and said, "Hello! Here is the 678th Regiment Command Post."

"Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, hello!" General Biliukov's voice came from the microphone. He hesitated and asked: "I'm calling you just to ask if there is news from the night raid troops. ?".

"I'm sorry, Comrade General." Regarding his question, I was a little embarrassed to say: "So far, we have not received any news from the Seventh Company. Moreover, there is silence on the enemy side, and no guns have been heard for the time being. ."

"It turned out to be so, I understand. Since the outside is calm, it proves that their actions have not been discovered by the enemy. I will stay by the phone tonight. When they come back, I will report to me immediately." He finished. After that, after hearing that I gave him another promise, he hung up the phone.

Immediately after putting down Bilyukov's phone call, Cuikov's call came one after another, and he asked sternly: "Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, have the night attack troops reached the enemy's camp?".

I smiled bitterly and replied: "Report to Comrade Commander that it has been an hour since the night attack troops have set off, but we still haven’t received any information about them. As you know, our regiment is a newly adapted regiment, and even telephone calls are so ordinary. There is not enough communication equipment, let alone high-end goods such as walkie-talkies...."

"It's all right, Comrade Oshanina." Cui Kefu interrupted me in time and said with a smile: "Don't call me poor, you said your regiment communications equipment, which unit is in my group army? Isn’t there any shortage of these things? If the logistics department doesn’t give me something, I can’t add it. As for the weapons, you can only rely on you to find a way to replenish them. When the night raid troops have news, give me a call and I’ll just Waiting for your report in the observatory."

After talking with Trikov, I learned that, besides us, we were waiting for news of the Slavin’s night assault troops, as well as General Bilyukov of the division and staying in the front observation post in Lower Kirskaya. Cui Kefu. The former is because the commander of the night raid is his own son, and he cannot sleep at night because he is worried about his safety; and Cui Kefu, indeed, because he is worried about me, he is worried that there will be any mistakes in the action tonight, so he has been on the phone. Aside, waiting for the result of our battle.

Although I knew the topography of the German army’s main camp just now during the meeting, I still put the sketch on the table again and deduced the course of action of the Slavin forces with Lukin. After the game was over, I was pleasantly surprised to find that as long as Slavin and the others moved quickly, they should be able to retreat before the nearby German troops reacted.

The phone rang on the table just after the exercise. I saw the telephone set between the troops below and the regiment headquarters. I guessed it might be related to the night raid troops. I quickly picked up the microphone and hurriedly said: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, the regiment commander. What's the situation? Tell me please!"

"Report to Comrade Commander!" The second company commander's excited voice came from the microphone, and he reported excitedly: "Slavin and the others are back, and they have brought back twenty trucks of ammunition."

"What?" I didn't believe that the operation was so smooth, and asked, "Comrade company commander, are you sure it was Slavin's subordinate who drove the truck back?"

"Yes, comrade commander." The second company commander replied in an affirmative tone: "I know many of the soldiers driving the car~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I am arranging the soldiers to unload the car."

"How many people are back?"

"Each car is a driver and a escort, and forty people have returned." Hearing that only such a small number of people had returned, my heart suddenly became cold. Just now I learned from Lu Jin that the whole group was seven. An infantry company, each with more than 150 people, now has 40 people back. Doesn’t that mean that Slavin’s company is almost exhausted? Because he didn't mention Slavin in the report, my heart couldn't help mentioning the throat. My heart said Slavin would not sacrifice, right? I asked, "Where is Captain Slaven, the seventh company commander?"

The second company commander was silent for a moment before repliing: "Reporting to the commander, I asked the soldiers who returned. The soldiers said that Captain Slaven was still in the camp. He asked the soldiers to bring the twenty carts of ammunition back to our army. After the position, return to the empty cart and continue to pull the ammunition. There are enough weapons and equipment that can be equipped with two regiments in the heavy camp."

Hearing that Captain Slaven was nothing, I felt much more at ease. I heard that there are more weapons and ammunition stored in the camp, and I couldn’t help but be shocked. If so many ammunition are pulled back, the equipment level of our regiment can be upgraded to a higher level, so I told the second company commander: "Company commander. Comrades, after the truck is unloaded, send two platoons of fighters and empty trucks back to the bargaining camp to assist Captain Slaven in carrying weapons and equipment. You will lead the team yourself.” (To be continued...)
