Burning Moscow

Koska hurriedly stood up and reported to me respectfully: "The Italian equipment I received for the first time was assigned to soldiers who had no weapons in the first and second regiments; the Hungarian equipment received for the second time was assigned to the third group. Tuan, Si Tuan. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test After two days of adaptation training, the soldiers of the large unit have mastered the use of weapons."

"Very well done!" I praised him, then turned my head, looked at the commanders present, and asked: "General Cui Kefu will come to the division tomorrow morning to hold a flag award ceremony for us, you see See what needs to be prepared?"

"Comrade Commander," Gaidar replied first: "There are many people in our regiment who understand architecture. I will immediately go back and arrange a manpower to build a rostrum, which can be used tomorrow when the flag is awarded."

"Also, we don't have broadcasting equipment, how can we make sure that every soldier can hear what General Cui Koff said on the podium?" Then I asked a crucial question, one person’s No matter how loud his voice is, it is impossible for him to let thousands of people hear what he said without the help of any equipment.

After I finished speaking, everyone fell silent, frowning and thinking about the problem I said. To be honest, I have noticed this problem before, but I have never found a suitable solution. I now raise it in public, hoping that everyone can work together and come up with an effective solution.

After waiting for a long time, I didn’t see anyone talking. I couldn’t help being a little anxious. I urged: "Why, didn’t everyone figure out a good way?" After speaking, my eyes turned to Sederikov, Oleg, Kosca and Gaidar looked at them, but they all shook their heads at me with regret.

Just when I was disappointed, Pugachev, who was sitting at the corner of the table, raised his right hand high, as if he had something to say to me. So I pointed to him and said, "Captain Pugachev, do you have any good ideas. Come and listen."

Pugachev stood up, looked around, supported the table with both hands and leaned forward slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Comrade teacher. Comrades. I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."

"If you have any thoughts. Just say, don't be so mother-in-law." His former boss Oleg said impatiently.

I also said with interest: "Comrade Pugachev, since you have come up with a solution, you may as well talk about it and listen to it. As for whether it is a good solution. Everyone can make a judgment after hearing it."

After getting my encouragement, Pugachev confidently said the method he thought of: "Before the flag-giving ceremony, we arranged some loud-speaking commanders among the phalanx in a certain order. They relayed the words of General Cui Kefu to the officers and fighters who could not hear them later. I think that without a loudspeaker, this method allows General Cuikov's speech to be heard by every officer and fighter."

After listening. I nodded in satisfaction, and even praised: "Yes, yes, this method proposed by Captain Pugachev is quite good." Then I looked around and asked the other commanders. "Do you have any different opinions on this plan?"

"This method is very good, I have no opinion." Sederikov first agreed.

Then Oleg, Kosca, and Gaidar also expressed their views one after another, agreeing to this approach proposed by Pugachev.

"Since everyone has no objections, then the commanders should go back to their respective units. After returning, tell the commanders and fighters about the flag to be awarded tomorrow. Alright, the meeting is over!"

The commanders filed out, and when I saw Gaidar walking outside the headquarters, I called him from behind: "Lieutenant Colonel Gaidar." Maybe he was not used to his new rank, Gaidar. He didn't even stop, but was still walking outside. I hurriedly raised my voice and shouted again. Then he stopped, turned and looked at me blankly, trying to figure out why I left him alone.

I walked up to him and said to him: "Comrade Heydar, when you go back, announce my appointment to Lieutenant Mikhayev to him. At the same time, let him select professionals from the range of the whole division and form divisions. Engineer company."

Gaidar saluted me and replied loudly: "Yes!" Then he turned and left the command post.

Just after dawn the next day, I was awakened by a loud bugle.

I used to think that the Soviet army had no bugles. When attacking, it relied on the commander to shout slogans; when he got up, it relied on the commander to blow his whistle. At this moment, I heard the sound of the wake up bugle, and I still felt quite fresh.

After finishing packing, I came to the outside of the headquarters and found that not only was my guard squad standing outside the door, there were also several lines of soldiers standing behind them. Seeing me coming out, Pugachev and Vera rushed over and raised their hands to salute me. Then Pugachev reported: "Comrade Commander, the guard battalion is assembled, please give instructions!"

Pointing to the newly added soldiers in the back rows, I asked Pugachev curiously: "Comrade Captain, are these soldiers newly added to the guard battalion?"

Pugachev nodded vigorously and said affirmatively: "Yes, comrade commander. I see that your guard class is too small, so it is difficult to guarantee your safety, so I drew from the troops that participated in the battle. Some fighters temporarily formed a guard company. When there are more people in the division with combat experience, I will fill the other two companies."

"Comrade Captain, good job." After complimenting him, I asked again: "Do you know where the rostrum that Lieutenant Colonel Gaidar has set up is?"

"Report to comrade commander, I know." After answering my question, Pugachev asked cautiously: "Do you need me to take you over to check it?"

"Well, yes, I want to go and see." I nodded and said, "Well, comrade captain, let the new soldiers disband first and take the guard squad with me."

Under Pugachev's leadership, I came to a newly opened forest clearing. The area of ​​this vacant lot is small, only more than two hundred square meters, and there is a newly built wooden platform on the edge of the vacant lot. Perhaps due to time constraints, this wooden platform made of round logs looks very simple, only about one meter higher than the ground, and small stairs for easy access have been built on both sides.

In the distance, Mikhayev was leading a group of soldiers to clear down the felled trees, and when he saw me bringing people to inspect, he ran over. A long distance away, he raised his hand to salute me and said loudly: "Comrade commander. Second Lieutenant Mikhayev, the commander of the engineering company, reported to you that my company is being ordered to clean up the remaining trees in the open space!"

I gave a gift and said, "Stop, do you have a lot of work?"

"Many. Comrade commander. We fell the trees in this area overnight last night. We built a simple rostrum for today's flag-giving ceremony. And now we are removing the remaining wood from the sky. The ground is cleaned up." At this point, he paused for a moment and asked cautiously: "Allow us to continue, comrade commander?"

"Of course. It needs to be said." I quickly replied: "Go on."

I took Pougachev and the guard squad to continue walking in the forest, and by the way, I checked the locations of the regiments and the training of the troops.

After walking around the entire campsite and spending hours, I feel quite satisfied. Judging from the training situation of the troops, although the formation time is short, the equipment is relatively backward. However, due to the influence of Lien Chan and Lien's victory, the soldiers of several regiments can barely be regarded as well-trained and high morale.

After patrolling the camp, while Cui Kefu hadn't come, I summoned several regiment leaders to the headquarters for a temporary meeting.

Wait for everyone to sit down. Let me start by asking Sederikov: "Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov, how is your regiment prepared?"

Sejjerikov quickly stood up and replied: "Everything is ready. However, in the early battles of our regiment, the reduction in personnel was relatively large. I don't know when the superiors can replenish us with new soldiers."

"Yes, comrade commander." Oleg also stood up and said in agreement, "During the battle in the last few days, our regiment has reduced its personnel to five companies, and the deployment of personnel to form a guard battalion means that we are now fuller than before At the time of compilation, nearly 600 people were missing."

I lifted my hands and pressed down, let the two of them sit down, and introduced to everyone: "When General Cui Koff called me last night, he only talked about the establishment of my division, but did not mention whether it would be supplemented for us. New soldiers, so don’t hold out too much hope."

Hearing what I said, Ke Sijia said in a gloomy tone: "Our teacher is so short of editors, didn't the superiors consider adding it for us?"

"That's not what I said, Lieutenant Colonel Corsca." I heard his complaint and quickly stopped him, and said sternly: "Compared with the other divisions in the group army, our number is the largest. According to my research I know, some divisions have only one or two hundred people left in the division after brutal battles. If the superiors want to replenish their troops, these units will be given priority. For the troops we are missing, you can figure out your own solutions, such as including those who have been beaten. The scattered small units, or the militia units that temporarily joined our division after they retreated into the city."

"Understood, comrade commander."

At this moment, the phone in the corner rang. Razumeyeva, who was sitting next to him, quickly picked up the microphone and said politely: "Hello, this is the division headquarters. Where are you?"

Not knowing what the other party said, she hurriedly covered the microphone, looked at me and said loudly: "Reporter, Comrade Commander, the sentry called and said that a convoy of forty trucks was approaching the station of our division. "

"Can you see the number of the coming unit clearly?"

Razumeyeva quickly removed her hand and asked the other party loudly, "Master, can you see the other party's serial number?" Soon, she said "I got it", then hung up the phone and looked up to me. : "Comrade commander, the outpost reported that there are three jeeps in front of the convoy. It seems that General Cui Kefu is here, depending on the situation."

I nodded and said to several commanders present: "Comrades, it seems that General Cui Kefu is here. Let's go, and join me to greet him outside the forest."

Our group has just walked outside the forest, and the convoy from afar has stopped. A group of commanders got on and down from three jeeps, and a general came to us surrounded by a general. I fixed my eyes to see that it was Cui Kefu who was not the one who came.

I hurried forward, raised my hand in salute to Cui Kefu, and said loudly: "Hello, Comrade Commander, welcome to the independent teacher."

"Why did you come out in person, Comrade Oshanina?" Cui Kefu asked curiously.

Before I could answer, a familiar voice sounded next to him: "What's wrong, Comrade Oshanina, you only welcome General Cuikov, don't you welcome me?"

I followed the direction of the voice and saw Serdjuk, the military commissar of the group army.

"It turned out to be you, Comrade Military Commissioner." I raised my voice and said loudly, "Excuse me, I didn't pay attention to you..."

"I understand. In your mind, General Cui Kefu is the most important, and the rest are just foils." His kind mockery immediately caused the surrounding commanders to laugh.

Cui Kefu was afraid that I would not be able to get off the stage, so he said quickly: "Okay. Let's not stand here. Let's go to the headquarters of the independent division first." After that, he took the lead and walked forward. It didn't go far. He saw Sejerikov and the others standing upright on the side of the road, so he stopped, turned his head and asked me: "Oshanina, have I met these commanders? Why do they look so familiar? ."

"Yes, Comrade Commander," I hurriedly came to Cui Kefu's side and introduced him: "Last time I accompanied you to the division headquarters of the 208th Division to accept their teachers. You have seen them. I will help you again. Introduce, this is Lieutenant Colonel Sergeikov, head of the first regiment, and this is Lieutenant Colonel Oleg, head of the second regiment..." I introduce one person each time. Those who were mentioned by name raised their hands to salute Cui Kefu.

When Cui Kefu walked forward again, I urged several team leaders: "You immediately return to your respective teams and lead your troops to gather in the open space. Understand?"

"Understood!" The four agreed, turning around and trotting away.

As soon as the group leaders left, a familiar voice came from next to him: "Master Oshanina, are you really ignoring me?"

I turned my head and saw that it was Little Sidorin, who was looking at me with a smile at the moment. I stretched out my hand and patted his helmet, and asked with a smile, "Little guy, are you not angry with me?"

Sidorin shook his head vigorously, and said apologetically, "Sister Oshanina, the commander told me later that you drove me away from the independent teacher not because you hated me, but because of my safety. I was wrong, don't blame me!"

"Look at what you said, Little Cidolin, I think of you as my own little brother, how could I blame you. Let's go and go to my command post." After speaking, I took his shoulders and went together. Go ahead.

Apart from Cuikov and Serjuk, only Cidolin was the only one who could enter the headquarters with me. The rest of the commanders stayed outside. After Cui Kefu sat down, he told Sidorin: "I said Comrade Lingbing, go and bring in the banner of the independent division."

Sidolin agreed, turned and ran out of the headquarters. Without much effort, he walked in again, with a captain behind him, carrying a rolled flag on his shoulder.

Cui Kefu let the Captain General's flag stand on the table, and let me see the true meaning of the flag.

When I was looking at the military flag, the captain was still introducing me: "This military flag is made of red silk with golden tassels on the edges. The size is 145x115 cm. The center of the front is embroidered with a hollow gold star with a diameter of 60 cm. , In the middle of Venus is the pattern of sickle and axe. Above Venus is the slogan of “eliminate the German invaders”, and below is the name of the independent division. On the back of the military flag, in the center is Lenin’s embroidered portrait with a diameter of 48x46 cm, and above it is “for The slogan of'Motherland', below is the Russian abbreviation of the Soviet Union. The flagpole is made of wood, 2.5 meters long, 4 cm in diameter, dark brown in color, with a metal hoop on the top and two golden ribbons."

I stretched out my hand to touch this new banner belonging to the independent division, and I couldn't help being enthusiastic. I finally had my own army and the banner of my own army.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Cui Kefu asked the captain to roll up the flag and wave his hand to let him leave first.

After the captain left, Serdjuk said to me: "Comrade Oshanina, there are no outsiders here. I have a few words to tell you. In fact, based on your abilities and exploits, you should have been promoted to the rank of colonel a long time ago, but For many reasons, we have been pushing down your promotion. I hope you don’t blame us."

I was obsessed with the army flag that I took away, and heard Serjuk say this, but I haven't recovered for a while. After a while, I understood what Serdjuk had just said. He quickly stood up and replied: "Comrade Military Commissioner, Napoleon once said: A soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier. Although I also want to be promoted, frequent promotion is not necessarily a good thing for me, just like If you want to build a high-rise building, you must lay a solid foundation. If I want to get a high rank and higher position in the military, I must have strong connections, so that my career in the military can go further. "

Hearing my answer, Cui Kefu nodded in satisfaction, and said approvingly: "Yes, you can think of it this way. It's the best." Having said that, he raised his hand and looked at his watch and said to Serdjuk, "Comrade Military Commissioner. . It’s getting late. It’s time for us to hold the flag-giving ceremony."

"Okay, let's go!" Serdjuk said and stood up.

Our group came to the open space where the flag-giving ceremony was held. I saw that there was not a single person on the rostrum, but there were thirty soldiers lined up on each side of the stage with bare hands. Cui Kefu saw these fighters and asked me curiously: "Oshanina, what do these fighters do?"

I pondered for a moment. I realized that it was arranged to spread a message for Cui Kefu, and he quickly introduced: "Comrade Commander, this is the case, because there is no loudspeaker in the division. In order to let every soldier hear what you are saying, I found some loud voices. Soldiers, pass on your words."

We walked up the stairs to the podium. I saw the soldiers in the division lined up neatly in the forest, and the middle of the open space was filled with the weapons of the Italian and Hungarian troops captured in the two battles. No wonder the small space that Gaidar allowed the engineering company to flatten out was so small that it was only used for placing weapons.

I heard someone whispering behind me: "Look. There have been a lot of seizures in the battles fought by the independent division."

"Yes, there are not only light and heavy machine guns, but also twenty or thirty mortars..."

Cui Kefu glanced back, did not speak, just raised his hand one step earlier. With the raising of his hand, the commander who had spoken on the stage closed his mouth, and the commanders who were slightly agitated in front of the wooden stage were silent and quiet.

The soldiers standing on both sides of the wooden platform ran out quickly, arranged in a certain order between the companies. They were just to transmit the sound to Cui Kefu on the wooden platform. Without a loudspeaker, this This method is the most effective way that Cui Kefu's speech can be heard by every soldier.

Cui Kefu shouted to the following officers and soldiers: "Comrades, when I know that today I can hold a flag-giving ceremony for the independent division who has achieved great success in Lien Chan's success, I am very excited. If there are more, I will be very excited. Don’t say anything, just say one thing, I hope that the comrades of the Independent Division will continue to work hard and make new achievements in the future battle.” At this point, he paused, and waited for the soldiers to pass on his words before making a loud announcement. "I announce the start of the flag-granting ceremony of the independent division. The flag-granting person, Comrade Serdjuk, the military commissar of the group army, and the flag-receiver, Colonel Oshaninna, the commander of the independent division. Please comrades, military commissars!"

Following his command, the captain was carrying the brand new flag, followed by two well-groomed flag guards, and walked towards me. Stopping a few steps away from me, the general's flag was handed to Serdjuk, who had just left the queue.

Serdjuk took the flag, unfolded it and waved it a few times, letting the brand new flag flutter in the wind.

I took a deep breath and walked towards him in a non-standard step. After the salute, I heard Serjuk shouting loudly: "Colonel Oshanina, grant you this Lenin banner. I hope you can hold it high. With this banner, strive for greater victory!"

After receiving the flag, I held the flag in my left hand and raised my right hand to salute Serdjuk and Trikov.

After the ceremony, I glanced at the audience and saw Pughachev and Vera standing there, and quickly winked at them. Vera reacted slowly, and when she was still standing in a daze, Pugachev had already stepped onto the stage first and took over the banner in my hand. Then he stepped off the stage holding the banner high, took the two fighters, and walked around the forest clearing where the weapons were placed, and returned to my front again.

I turned to face the ensign and stood at attention, and a soldier next to Pougachev hurriedly shouted: "All stand at attention!"

Facing the military flag, I raised my hand to my forehead and said loudly: "Now let us swear an oath in the name of the independent division and in the name of our great motherland!"

"We swear!" the soldiers below roared in unison.

"To fight against the fascist scum mercilessly, UU read www.ukanshu.com until the last German invading on the territory of the Soviet Union was wiped out." I continued on behalf of the commanders and fighters of the Independence Division to speak my heart vows.

"We swear!" the soldiers shouted in unison again.

"We will not hesitate to use our blood and even our lives to fight for the final victory."

"We swear!" This time even Cui Kefu and the soldiers he brought with him shouted in unison.

"Vow that the sacred flag of our independent division will fly high over Berlin one day!"

"We swear!"

"Victory will belong to us!"

"Victory will belong to us!" Everyone is following me repeating the last oath.

When I took the banner in Pugachev's hand and waved it vigorously, a tsunami-like shout erupted from the forest: "Ula! Ula! Ula!!!"
