Burning Moscow

I understand in my heart that it is very difficult for me to do the preparations for this offensive to perfection by my own ability. Therefore, I must listen extensively to the various rationalization suggestions put forward by the commanders and fighters at all levels, and Be adopted.

With my encouragement, after reading a lot of house construction data to me and Heydar, Mikhayev boldly said: "...According to my analysis, the thickness of the walls of these buildings is the same as what our teacher has Equipped bullets cannot penetrate. If we can't rush into these buildings before the enemy finds out, then the enemy can hide in these buildings and calmly destroy our offensive troops with commanding firepower. "

Mikhayev's final conclusion is exactly what I am worried about. Although we have an advantage in numbers, the German weapons and equipment and solid fortifications are enough to offset this advantage. I nodded slightly, and asked him with interest: "Comrade Engineer, do you have any good ideas?"

Mikhayev looked at Heydar and said with a smile: "The next content, let Comrade Lieutenant explain to you. He is a professional and he can say it more clearly than I can." After speaking, he sat down directly.

Gaidar stood up, held the edge of the table with his hand, leaned forward slightly, and said politely: "Comrade commander, this is the case. I think the most effective way to deal with the enemy's fortifications is to shoot the artillery close to it. , Use artillery to destroy the enemy’s firepower point and cover our assault team from rushing into the building. Of course, if we can get the support of tanks, tanks can shoot fiercely at the enemy’s firepower point and cargo buildings, support the commando forcefully and accelerate me The assault speed of the army."

I nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, the bayonet on the cannon you proposed is good. It's worth a try." When I said this, I suddenly remembered that Cui Kefu had been fired, so I wanted to get out of the army as before. It may not be so easy to get the supplement of weapons and ammunition in it. Because of this critical question. So when I continued to talk. They all seemed a little lacking in confidence, "But. Our division currently does not have any heavy weapons. It seems that if we want to win a battle, we can only ask for help from our friendly forces."

"What is a bayonet on a cannon?" A familiar voice suddenly rushed out of the door, and then a familiar figure walked into the command post. See the people coming. I was overjoyed, and I quickly stood up and greeted me, and asked in surprise: "Hello, Comrade Chief of Staff, why are you here?"

Although Heydar and Mikhayev had never seen Raskin, they quickly got up and saluted when they saw the rank of colonel on the collar of the visitor. Ruskin and I joked while shaking hands, "Comrade Oshanina. I made a special trip to see you from the headquarters. I wonder if you would welcome me?"

I held his hand with both hands and shook it vigorously and said, "Welcome! Welcome! Of course you are welcome! Chief of Staff, you are a rare visitor, and we can't even ask for it."

After the greeting. After Ruskin swept his gaze over the two of Gaidar and them, he asked with a little caution: "Comrade Oshanina, who are the two of them?"

Listening to Ruskin’s tone, I seemed to have something to tell me privately, not wanting outsiders to be there, and quickly introduced him: "This captain is the commander of the Fourth Regiment, Comrade Gaidar, and next to him is the construction engineer Mi Haye. Comrade Husband." After the introduction, I immediately said to the two of them: "Heydar, Mikhayev, there is nothing for you here. You two should go back first."

Watching the two leave the headquarters, I again instructed Kravdya, the operator on duty: "Hey, Comrade Kravdya, please go and bring our comrade colonel a cup of hot tea with honey."

Kravdia stood up from the radio, smiled sweetly at Colonel Ruskin, and ran out of the headquarters quickly.

When there were only two people left in the room, Raskin and I, I sat down at the table and asked curiously: "Comrade Colonel, you come to my teacher at this time. I wonder if you have any instructions?

Raskin said solemnly: "Comrade Oshanina, I came to the Independent Division this time to tell you the truth about General Cuikov's dismissal."

"Comrade Colonel, what is the reason for the dismissal? I don't quite believe the reasons you said in the morning."

Raskin smiled bitterly and said: "What do you say about this? The reasons for dismissal that I told you in the morning are just official articles. The real reason is that General Cui Kefu and the newly appointed military commissar of the Front last night for the current war There have been some disputes. Perhaps General Cui Kefu said too much and too directly, and as a result, the military commissioner made the decision to dismiss him out of anger."

"Who is the new military commissar of the front army?" The organization and leadership of the front army are constantly changing. I really don't know who the new military commissar is.

Raskin said bitterly: "The new front military commissar is the former first secretary of Ukraine, Comrade Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev."

Khrushchev, when I heard this name, I almost jumped off the stool. I didn't expect that the new front military commissar was him. He is an important person I have always wanted to get acquainted with. I didn't expect that as soon as he appeared, he would decisively dismiss Cui Kefu from his post because of a dispute. If I were to approach him in the future, wouldn't it cause Cui Kefu's displeasure.

At this moment, Kravdya walked in from outside the house with a tea mug, and we quickly closed our mouths so as not to let the female soldier hear something that shouldn't be heard. Kravdia held the tea mug in both hands, carefully placed it on the table in front of Ruskin, and said with a smile: "Comrade Colonel, please have tea."

After hearing Raskin’s thanks to Kravdya, I waved to her and said, "Comrade Kravdya, I have an important job to talk to the chief of staff. You should go out first. By the way, tell the guard squad leader at the door. Vera, no one is allowed to enter without my permission."

After Kravdia left, I lowered my voice and asked impatiently: "Comrade Colonel, what are they arguing about, do you know?"

Raskin looked at the door, moved his body to my side, and said in a low voice: "I learned about the specific content of the quarrel from Commander Lyudnikov of the Guardsman. He said At first, the two were talking and laughing. They didn’t know what Khrushchev said, and then Cuikov became furious. Angrily said to Khrushchev: Our passive situation could have been avoided. If the situation was judged correctly at that time, they would have broken their nests a long time ago. I always thought that the Germans would attack Moscow. This was the first time I was deceived.

Khrushchev finished listening. He retorted: How can you talk like this? You are the deputy commander of the group army. The decision of the Supreme Commander. You can't comment casually. "

After hearing what Raskin said, I said in a puzzled way: "Comrade Chief of Staff. I think General Cuikov is completely correct, and even if he said a bit extreme, he won't fall to the point of being dismissed? "

Ruskin lifted the tea mug while blowing heat away. He said: "If only the above-mentioned remarks were really said, it would not have caused Khrushchev to turn his face. Unfortunately, General Cuikov was so dizzy during the quarrel that he actually exposed Khrushchev's scars. It turned the other side's face and signed the order to dismiss General Cui Kefu without mercy."

"What scar, can you tell me something?" My curiosity made me want to break the casserole and ask the end.

Ruskin put down the tea mug in his hand and hesitated. Finally made up his mind and said: "Well, I'll tell you what's going on. But you have to promise me one condition. What I said to you is top secret and can't tell anyone. Otherwise, you and I will be in big trouble. "When I said that I would strictly guard the secrets, he whispered: "When the war broke out, General Zhukov, who was also the chief of the general staff, tried to persuade the Supreme Commander to withdraw the southwestern front in Kiev, so as not to fall into the encirclement of the German army. Unexpectedly, when the Supreme Commander solicited Khrushchev’s opinion, he resolutely replied that Kiev could be held." At this point, he couldn't help snorting heavily, "As a result, nearly one million defended Kiev. The army, except for Khrushchev, Budjoni, Timoshenko, and 150,000 successful breakthroughs, the remaining troops were completely wiped out by the Germans. Among them, the commander of the Southwest Front Army General Kirbonos and Chief of Staff Tupi Kov and political commissar Bulmishtenko were breaking out of the political commissar. 660,000 people including General Potapov, commander of the 5th Army, were captured.

Three months ago, the Battle of Kharkov was commanded by Timoshenko and Khrushchev. The result was another disastrous defeat. The 6th and 57th Army, the 9th Army and the main forces of the Bobukin battle cluster were wiped out. , Was captured 250,000 people, lost more than 600 tanks, the deputy commander of the Southwest Front Army, Lieutenant General Kostenko, and many other senior generals were killed. "

After listening to Ruskin's inside information, I couldn't help being silent. If these failures were replaced by others, it is estimated that they would have been executed immediately after being tried by a military court like General Pavlov. Only people like Timothy and Khrushchev, who are highly regarded by the Supreme Commander, will be reactivated even if they have suffered repeated defeats, and will remain in hiding for a period of time at most. Although they have caused huge losses to the country and the army, these things are a restricted area that cannot be touched. Once anyone accidentally mentions them, they must bear their thunderous anger. General Cui Kefu was unfortunate enough to become such a victim.

After Ruskin finished speaking, he took a sip of tea from the tea mug, and said to himself: "Too much honey is put in, it's a bit too sweet." After putting down the tea mug, he looked at me and said, "Oshanina Comrade, I have finished talking about what should and should not be said. You can talk about your views, and I want to hear your true thoughts."

My fingers tapped lightly on the table, and my mind was thinking fast, why would Ruskin say that? Does he have any deeper considerations? After thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that I should say something to Ruskin, after all, I still have a lot of time to deal with him in the future. (Pingnan Literature Net)

I made up my mind and said decisively: "Comrade Chief of Staff, I think that General Cuikov’s criticism of Comrade Khrushchev is correct. The reason why we have lost a lot of land under the enemy’s attack is not ours. The soldiers of China are not brave, nor is it that the commanders of our units have improper tactical command, nor is the enemy too powerful, but that the strategic thinking of the highest command organization has gone wrong, which has pushed our army into danger again and again...."

Before I could finish my words, Ruskin slapped the table heavily and yelled again and again: "Okay, well said, well said! General Cui Kefu really did not misunderstand the person. Comrade Oshanina, Cui Kefu After the general left, he repeatedly told me to take care of your teacher. If you have any difficulties, just ask me. If it can be solved within the scope of my power, I will solve it for you immediately; if it can't be solved, I will come forward to negotiate for you. "

Hearing him say this, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that I made the right bet just now. Since he asked me to make a request, I was not polite, so I moved the map on the table in front of him and explained to him the plan of my division to attack the residential area with my finger. At the end of the end. I begged him: "Comrade Chief of Staff, our division does not have any heavy weapons. If you want to attack a tough one, you will inevitably pay huge casualties. Do you think you can provide us with the necessary support?"

After hearing this, Ruskin said with some embarrassment: "The group army also lacks heavy weapons. I think it may not be able to meet your requirements."

Ruskin’s answer was in my expectation. Upon hearing him complaining to me, I quickly explained: "Comrade Chief of Staff, you have misunderstood what I mean. I didn’t ask you to provide my division with tanks and cannons. We don’t have professionals, and we are equipped with these technical equipment. None of us will use them.”

"Then you mean...?" Raskin asked in surprise.

"I want you to come forward and coordinate with the 137th Tank Brigade and the 157th Infantry Division. Let them provide one or two tank brigades and artillery companies to increase the necessary fire support for the fortified troops of our division. What do you think? "

For this request of mine. Ruskin nodded without hesitation and agreed: "No problem. I can decide on this matter now. On the day of the offensive, I asked the 137th tank brigade to provide your division with five tanks and the 157th infantry division. Send two artillery companies, do you think enough?"

"Enough is enough!" I originally planned that he could provide me with three or five artillery pieces, and it would be enough to take a tank outside. I didn't expect that he was so generous and gave me several times more technical equipment at once.

The faint sound of shooting and grenade explosions outside attracted Raskin’s attention. He curiously pointed to the door and asked me: "Comrade Oshanina, what's the matter with gunfire and explosions outside? "

"Report to Comrade Chief of Staff," I said with a smile: "The troops are shooting live ammunition and throwing grenades."

"What, live ammunition shooting and live ammunition throwing?" Raskin raised his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat displeased manner, "Comrade Oshanina, is this necessary?"

Although I think my actions are justified, I can’t help but blush when I hear Raskin’s words. , Recruits without any combat experience. In order to prevent them from being frightened by the sound of enemy guns, I took a special training method and used live ammunition training to train them."

Raskin finished listening, and still complained to me: "If you do this, aren't you afraid of causing unnecessary casualties during training?"

"Comrade Chief of Staff, no." I said confidently. "There are not many people trained. There are only two thousand commanders and fighters who will participate in the battle. They are trained in companies and divided into regions. Each company has certain Proportion of experienced veterans, with their guards, safety in training can be guaranteed."

Ruskin looked outside the door, and said a little worried: "Or, you still take me to the training ground to have a look."

His proposal made me feel embarrassed because my training method was too ingenious. Maybe after he saw it, he would criticize it on the spot so that I couldn't get off the stage. I thought for a while and suggested to him: "How about I call the three commanders and those company commanders who organized the training, and let them personally report the training situation to you?"

He waved his hand and said resolutely: "No, I have to go to the training ground to see it myself. If I don't see the training of the commanders and fighters with my own eyes, I still feel uneasy.

Seeing Ruskin's resolute attitude, I couldn't object anymore, so I reluctantly agreed: "Well, Comrade Chief of Staff, I will show you to the training ground."

As soon as Ruskin and I walked out the door, we saw two soldiers with submachine guns outside, chatting around Vera. Seeing us going out, the two soldiers hurriedly stood upright and put on a posture waiting to be dispatched. Needless to say, these two fighters must be Raskin's guards.

Raskin shook his head at them as he walked, and said simply, "Come with me!"

Vera saw the two male fighters following Raskin towards the training field, and hurriedly overtook me, and asked, "Lida, shall I go to the training field with you?"

I shook my head and said, "No, you should stay in the command post. This forest is full of our soldiers, my safety, you don't have to worry." After that, I speeded up to chase Ruskin in front.

It didn't take much effort. We arrived at the training ground I had just visited. A group of five companies is undergoing bombing training at this moment.

The ten soldiers holding grenades out of the queue quickly rushed forward a few steps, then stopped abruptly and threw the grenade in their hands forward. Ten smoking grenades rolled in the air and landed in the newly drawn area. Suddenly the explosion sounded, the smoke was everywhere, and a hapless birch tree fell to the ground amidst the explosion.

After a group of soldiers dropped bombs, the lieutenant shouted the password: "The sixth squad has finished dropping bombs, immediately enter the queue. The seventh squad is out of the queue, ready to drop the bombs!" Following the lieutenant's command, the ten soldiers just trot back. The queue, at the same time, ten more soldiers holding grenade came out of the queue.

After the fifth company’s bombing was completed, the lieutenant gave orders again loudly: "The bombing training is over, the shooting training will be conducted below. All of them are available, turn right. The first squad enters the shooting position and the sixth squad enters the sandbag fortification concealment."

Following his command, first two teams of soldiers ran out of the queue. One squad armed with rifles stood in front of the queue, while the other squad ran towards the sandbag fortification tens of meters away.

I glanced at Ruskin secretly, and saw him staring blankly at the running squad of soldiers. Until they saw the figures of the soldiers disappearing in the sandbags, the soldiers with guns squatted down and aimed their guns in the direction of the sandbags, his face suddenly turned pale, and he turned to me and said solemnly, "Oshanina, you Didn’t assure me that your troops won’t have casualties during training, but now do you know what they are doing? You actually let our soldiers shoot at your own people. If there are casualties, what is waiting for you , There is only the fate of going to a military court. You immediately order them to stop."

The military tribunal is also a military tribunal. I found that since I hit Stalingrad, I heard people threatening to send anyone to the military tribunal. In the end, I didn't see anyone being sent to the military tribunal. I can understand Raskin's nervousness. After all, this training method is too unbelievable.

Before I could explain, the gunshots sounded one after another, and the bullets whizzed past the sandbags. Several missed shots hit the sandbags, causing small pillars of mud to splash on the sandbags.

The soldiers stood up after firing five bullets. The lieutenant saw that all the soldiers had put down their guns, and then took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it vigorously. With his whistle, soldiers emerged from behind the sandbag one after another.

When I heard the lieutenant blowing his whistle, I couldn't help but pat my forehead~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I found that I didn't think about the problem comprehensively. I didn't even think about how to contact the troops when they attacked in the smoke. The lieutenant’s whistling reminded me that every commando team should be equipped with such a simple communication tool.

Looking at Ruskin again, since the first soldier appeared in the sandbag, he was counting the number of people nervously. When all the soldiers leaned out from behind the sandbags, I heard him take a long breath and mutter to himself: "Thank God! At last there were no casualties." Turning around, I saw me staring. He smiled embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, Comrade Oshanina, I blamed you just now. I have to admit that although your training method is ingenious, it is indeed effective and can make the soldiers feel. The atmosphere of the battlefield." At this point, he paused for a moment, and continued with a voice that only he and I could hear: "You know, the first time I went to the battlefield, when I heard the gunshots, I was scared to pee. Pants." After speaking, he reached out and patted me on the shoulder, shook his head at the guard again, and ordered: "Comrade soldier, let's go back."

He walked a few steps, stopped again, and said to me kindly: "Oshanina, let me remind you. When the battle begins, the guards of Lyudnikov will also be able to provide you with some necessary help."
