Burning Moscow

When I ended the call with Zhukov, I was a little bit worried about gains and losses. Watermark advertising test The watermark advertising test was originally only through personal relationships, and wanted to bring the ensign training team of General Meretskov over to enrich and improve my command system. Unexpectedly, even the Supreme Commander himself was involved in this matter, which made me feel sincere and horrified. It's better to say that I won the war. If I lost the battle, I don't know if Zhukov, Meletskov and others will be exhausted. .

When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a familiar voice calling me: "Comrade Master."

Looking up, it turned out that it was Pugachev, the acting commander of the Second Regiment. Looking at him with an unhappy face, I couldn't help asking in surprise: "What's the matter, Captain Pugachev. He has become the acting commander. Why are you still so upset? Tell me, did anyone offend you?"

Pugachev raised his head and said angrily: "Comrade Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov is unfair. You must be fair to me."

Didn’t Sejerikov go with Vellore to assign students to the regiments? Why did you offend Pugachev again? Thinking of this, I asked inexplicably: "Captain Pugachev, what is it? What's the matter? I'm all confused by you."

"Lieutenant Colonel Sejerikov called me, Kosca and Gaidar to the position, and said that according to your instructions, a group of cadets who had just rushed out of the German encirclement should be assigned to us."

"Yes, I did instruct Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov like this." Hearing this, I nodded and gave him an affirmative answer, "I also asked the political instructor of the Vinnytsia Infantry School to maintain Lor, went with him."

"Lieutenant Colonel Sejerikov said that according to your order, each regiment can be assigned to 40 students."

"Yes," I affirmed Pugachev's statement again. And added: "I asked him to assign 40 students to each regiment, and leave the rest to the guard battalion."

"The other three regiments all assigned 40 students. Why did Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov only give me 36 students?" Pugachev said angrily, "Could it be that our second regiment fought in the battle? Disabled. Should he be discriminated against?"

"Who is discriminated against? Captain Pugachev." Sergeikov's voice came from the door.

I followed the sound and looked towards the door. Seeing coming in from outside, not only Sergeikov and Vellore. There are also Kosca and Gaidar. Seeing so many people, I smiled and got up from my seat, and jokingly said to Sederikov: "Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov, Captain Pugachev, the acting commander of the Second Regiment, is complaining to me. . Said you deliberately discriminated against him."

"Discrimination against him?!" After hearing this, Sederikov looked around blankly, shrugged his shoulders, and asked incomprehensibly: "Comrade Commander, where do you start?"

I did not hide it, so I repeated Pugachev's words, and finally said: "I ordered you at that time. 40 students were assigned to each regiment, why did the second regiment only give 36 students?"

After listening to what I said, Sergeikov looked at Vellore, and then replied bitterly: "Report to the teacher. I also want to follow your orders, but..."

"But what? Why don't you go on, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel?" I was a little bit dissatisfied with Sergeikov's hesitation: "I asked you to assign 40 students to each regiment, but I didn't say enough. is that clear?"

"Clear!" Sederikov replied hastily.

"Since it's clear, why don't you execute my order?" When I said this, there was a hint of anger.

"Comrade commander, please allow me to answer this question." After Vellore learned that he had become a member of the independent division, he changed his name to me from colonel to division commander, seeing the embarrassment of Sederikov. , She quickly came out to rescue.

Seeing the beautiful officer who I feel so pitiful for, I said in a calm tone: "Go ahead, Instructor Vellore."

"Comrade commander, the situation is like this. You just said that a regiment has 40 students, which should be 160, but there are only 156 soldiers who stand out with me. Not to mention the guard battalion, even four regiments are not enough."

After listening to her, I was stunned. If I think about it carefully, no, the independent teacher has four groups. If each group is divided into 40 students, at least 160 students are required. I don’t know how I did the calculation at the time. It actually counted as 120 people. I even thought about it. The remaining 36 people were added to the guard camp.

I smiled embarrassedly at Sederikov, and said to Pugachev: "Comrade Captain, this is all my fault. I have counted the number wrong. Well, since Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov The instructor and Vellore have already assigned the students. If you want to adjust it, it is estimated that the other team leaders will not agree." At this point, I paused intentionally, and my eyes swept away on the other three team leaders.

Xiejielikov, Kesijia, and Gaidar immediately understood, and nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, we have already assigned these students to the company. If we need to make adjustments, it is estimated that the soldiers will have opinions. ."

Seeing Pugachev’s grievances on his face, I had no choice but to draw a big pie for him: "Captain Pugachev, the second regiment has reduced the number of personnel this time. After recruiting new recruits, I will allocate more to your regiment A commander of a second lieutenant training team."

Seeing that I and the other three regiment leaders had been on the same front, Pougatcheff, who was alone in a difficult position, flushed with red face, and could only helplessly say: "Well, I obey your orders."

This night was destined to be an eventful night. After Pugachev's grievances were calmed down, I was planning to send a few people out and find a place to rest. I did not expect that the Group Army Command would assign us a new task.

This time I was talking to Raskin, Chief of Staff of the Army Group. Hearing my voice, he said anxiously: "Colonel Oshanina, I have an urgent task for you."

I gestured to several commanders not to leave, and then politely said into the microphone: "Please speak, Comrade Chief of Staff. I'm listening."

"This is the situation, Colonel Oshanina." Raskin said solemnly: "There is a communications relay station of the 62nd Army near the Bassalji station in the Little Rosovka area. The siege of the German army has persisted for two days. General Kolpakic has just called Commander Shumilov and asked us to send a good army to rescue this trapped communications unit. ."

While listening to what Raskin said, I looked for the area he said on the map. It was ten kilometers away from the current position of our division, and on the contrary, it was closer to the defense zone of the 70th Guards Infantry Division. If Lyudnikov sent troops. It takes less than an hour to reach the destination.

I feel a little puzzled about the mobilization method of the group army headquarters. So he euphemistically put forward his own opinion: "Comrade Chief of Staff, the place you mentioned seems to be closer to Lyudnikov's guards, not more than five kilometers away. Why not adjust their troops. Instead, they should stay close and seek farther. How about our division, who is about ten kilometers away, go to reinforce it?"

Raskin did not answer my question, but said in an official tone: "Colonel Oshanina, this is an order from Commander Shumilov. You must know that according to the regulations, orders from higher authorities are not allowed to be discussed. , Execute it now."

Now that he has spoken for this purpose, I had no choice but to agree: "Yes. I give orders."

After finishing the call, I first ordered Razumeyeva to call, asking Perskin and Morozov to come over to participate in the latest military meeting, and at the same time summon several commanders to the table. Repeated the order given by Raskin to several people.

Kesijia leaned over and stared at the map on the table, and asked in a puzzled way: "Comrade commander, I don't understand. Since the guards are so close to the besieged unit, why they don't send troops, but let the distance so far. Are we going to rescue?"

Regarding his question, I can only say indifferently: "The superior's order is not allowed to be discussed. Let's study what size troops should be sent to rescue."

Hearing what I said, Ke Sijia took the lead in asking: "Comrade commander, in the two days of battle, the casualties of the three regiments were relatively small. Let us complete this task!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Corsca," Sederikov was a little unhappy when he heard Corsca say this, and immediately retorted him: "The casualties of your three regiments are small, and the casualties of my regiment are not large." Straighten up and begged me: "Comrade commander, please give this task to our regiment. I assure you that the besieged friendly forces will be rescued."

Before I could express my position, there was another voice calling for a report at the door. I looked up from the map and found out that it was Captain Pirgis and Captain Morozov. I waved to them quickly and asked them to come over and join the meeting.

After briefing them on the situation, I specifically asked Perskin: "Captain Perskin, how much fuel does the tank have?"

Perskin shook his head and said with some frustration: "Reporter Commander, we only have fuel in the tanks, but not all. If we want to attack by force, these tanks will have to be out of fuel after the battle is over. And they are forced to discard or blow up on the spot, so as not to make the Germans cheaper."

I waved my hand and said decisively: "Captain Perskin, this time we only dispatched two tanks, pumped out the fuel from the other tanks and filled them up." Then I turned my head and looked at Mo. Rozov: "Comrade Morozov, you are now a mortar company commander, take five mortars, and set off with me to give a severe lesson to the Germans."

After hearing what I said, Sergeikov took the initiative to ask: "Comrade commander, now there are tanks and artillery, and infantry, which unit do you plan to send?"

I pondered for a moment, and then decisively said: "Infantry, I decided to transfer the 9th company of Lieutenant Godunov of the three regiments. During this retreat, he left a very good impression on me. In addition, A company was transferred to a regiment, a company of Pugachev, and a platoon of Basmanov. I think that if so many troops are used to rescue, it will not affect the defensive strength of our division, but also can help the besieged allies Rescued."

"Who do you intend to command this force?" Gaidar asked. Since the Second Regiment and the Fourth Regiment are currently reserve teams, the two commanders Pugachev and Gaidar both have expressions of eagerness.

I looked at Vellore standing among the male commanders, and smiled and asked her: "Instructor Vellore, would you like to go with me on this rescue mission?"

Everyone was taken aback when I heard that I was going to go out in person. Sergeikov took the lead in persuading me: "Comrade commander, you are the commander of a division, so you can't take risks anymore.

"Yes, comrade commander. When the whole division retreated, you served as a dangerous guard mission. You can't take any more risks this time." Pugachev said nervously.

I waved my hand and said stubbornly: "Well, you don't have to persuade anymore. Now that I have made up my mind, how can you persuade you. I still want to go." That's it. I raised my voice and announced loudly: "During my absence, the command in the division. Lieutenant Colonel Sergeikov is in charge. Do you understand?"

After listening to my order, several commanders looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

See the cold. I quickly looked at Vellore and asked again: "Instructor Vellore, you haven't answered my question yet. Would you like to go with me on this rescue mission?"

This time Vellore nodded without hesitation and replied simply: "Comrade Commander, I obey your orders."

After an hour of preparation, our rescue team set off.

In front of them were two tanks that had just been filled with fuel and opened their way. Then trucks full of fighters, and the jeep in which Viloer and Razumeeva were riding, drove in the middle of the entire convoy.

Because the sky is already dark at this time, I am not looking at the sky from the car window. I am afraid that a German plane will suddenly appear in the sky. A convoy like ours without any air defense capabilities, as long as a dive bomber, can hit us hard.

However, our luck seemed to be good. After driving for most of the distance, we did not see the German plane, and the sound of guns from the front was clearly audible.

I asked the driver to rush to the front of the entire convoy and let all the vehicles stop by a small hill. When the car stopped, I couldn't wait to push the door, jumped out of the car and took Vellore to the top of the slope.

Standing at the vantage point on the top of the slope, I raised my binoculars and looked at the place where the smoke was billowing ahead. I saw a large group of German soldiers under the cover of the tank, launching a charge towards a high ground. Below the high ground, there are more than 20 tanks that have been burnt to darkness or are burning. The white cross on the body represents that these scrapped tanks are all German tanks.

The German tanks came to a stop at the foot of the mountain and bombarded the positions on the hillside with artillery fire. The German infantrymen rushed up the mountain with their guns bent over and swarmed. Seeing that they were approaching our army's position, the originally silent position was resurrected. All kinds of guns in the trenches opened fire at the same time, and the German infantry fell to the ground in an instant. The German soldiers shot at each other for a while, seeing that they were unable to rush up, they rolled back down again.

At this time Perskin and Morozov also came to the hillside. After seeing the fighting in the distance, they asked me for instructions: "Comrade Commander, what should we do?"

I put down the binoculars and looked around, and found that Lieutenant Godunov and Captain Basmanov were standing beside me. Seeing that the commanders were all present, I began to give orders: "Captain Basmanov, you take the soldiers of the guard battalion, hurry up and dig a bunker on this hillside. After we rescue the trapped troops, you will be responsible for the deterrence. task."

"Yes!" Basmanov agreed, and went downhill to summon the soldiers of the guard camp.

Then I ordered Perskin: "Captain Perskin, when the new German offensive begins, you lead the tanks to launch a surprise attack from their rear, trying to kill a few more German tanks."

"Lieutenant Godunov, when Captain Perskin’s tank starts to attack later, you take the opportunity to attack the German infantry side with your troops. Captain Morozov, when our infantry is attacking, you have to concentrate your artillery on the German infantry. Infantry, preventing them from organizing effective resistance and covering the friendly forces on the opposite high ground to break through."

After I gave all the orders in one go, I saw that except for Captain Basmanov who had left, the rest of them were still standing there, frowning, and shouting at them: "Since the mission is clear, What are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and execute it?"

Several people agreed loudly and ran down the hill to carry out my orders.

The new German offensive began ten minutes later. Seeing the German tanks stopped at the foot of the mountain again, covering the infantry with artillery fire to charge up the high ground, Perskin led two tanks to attack decisively. They fired while they were driving, and in the first round of shelling, they each hit a tank. After a large group of dark red flames suddenly burst from the German tanks, they began to burn. The German infantry soldiers who were climbing were also wailed by the heavy fire on the hillside, leaving behind a large corpse and retreating in embarrassment.

The troops led by Godunov. Also riding a truck, rushing forward behind the tank. When Perskin's tank fired in the second round and once again destroyed a German tank. The infantry soldiers jumped off the trucks and rushed towards the German soldiers who had fled from the hillside with their weapons.

Morozov's artillery is also unambiguous. After the gunners removed the mortar from the truck. The cannon was quickly erected, and it fired at the place where the enemy gathered. After five mortar shells made a beautiful arc in the air. One after another, they fell into the dense German formation and exploded. The German soldiers who had been crowded together were embarrassed by the explosion and ran around in a mess.

Just when this German army was beaten by us, the friendly army on the top of the mountain jumped out of the trench in time. He rushed down the hillside with his weapon. Their offensive became the last straw to overwhelm the camels. The German army, which had been struggling to support, under our two-way attack, could no longer support it, and turned around and ran back.

Godunov knew that our mission was to rescue this trapped friendly army, not to destroy the enemy in front of us. So instead of ordering the troops to pursue them, he asked the soldiers to cover the friendly commanders and fighters who had just been surrounded and get on the vehicle and withdraw to our side.

After seeing the infantry rescued the friendly forces, they had already begun to retreat. The Perskin tank unit, which destroyed five enemy tanks, did not love the battle. After firing two more shots at the fleeing German tanks, it quickly retreated.

A few minutes later, Godunov came to the hillside with a few commanders wearing big brimmed hats. I looked at the commanders whose faces were black and white, and asked in a pleasant tone, "Comrade commanders, which unit are you from?"

A second lieutenant looked me up and down and asked vigilantly: "Comrade Colonel, may I ask first, which part do you belong to?"

Standing next to me, Basmanov, seeing the ensign's unfriendly attitude, quickly jumped out and asked angrily: "Comrade Ensign, how can you be so rude to our teacher?"

I raised my hand to stop Basmanov from continuing, and replied in a kind manner: "Comrade Lieutenant, I am Colonel Oshanina, the commander of the 64th Army Independent Division. I am here to rescue you on the orders of my superiors. Yes, can I ask which part of you are now?"

Before the second lieutenant could answer, a political worker pushed him aside and came to me. After raising his hand to salute, he respectfully replied: "Report to Comrade Colonel, our 62nd Army Communications Company. I am the political instructor Ye "Futfeyev, the second lieutenant," he said, pointing to the second lieutenant who had just spoken, and went on to introduce, "It is the second lieutenant of the communications company Strelkov."

I nodded, raised my chin to the other two silent commanders standing nearby, and asked, "Who are these two commanders?"

As soon as I finished speaking, one of the political workers stepped forward, raised his hand in salute, and reported: "Comrade Colonel and deputy political instructor of the reconnaissance platoon Kovalev report to you and await your orders."

I smiled at him, turned my head and asked the remaining big sergeant: "And you, comrade big sergeant?"

The big sergeant straightened up quickly and reported to me: "I am Pukazov, the chief of the communications company. I am waiting for your order."

After getting acquainted with the commander of the communications company, I walked up to Yevdifeev and asked with concern: "Comrade political instructor, how many people are left in your company?"

Yevtifeyev looked at the people next to him, then looked down the hillside, and then replied: "Report to Comrade Colonel that there are 33 people left in my company."

"You have played well in the past two days." Vellore, who has not spoken, suddenly said, praising Yevtifeyev. "Just look at the burning tanks at the foot of the mountain, and then look at the fascist bandits on the slopes. You know how brilliant your battle results are."

Hearing Vellore’s praise, Yevtifeyev looked her up and down, straightened his waist, and said proudly: "Yes, Comrade Female Political Instructor. In these two days During the battle, we used anti-tank guns, Molotov cocktails and anti-tank grenades, and destroyed 22 German tanks and killed nearly two hundred of them."

"If the results of the tank detachment are added, the German army will have 27 tanks reimbursed here." Godunov looked at the burning German tanks on the battlefield in the distance and couldn't help but proudly said.

I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and I thought that today's task was fairly smooth, and it was so easy to complete. But this is not a place to stay for a long time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You need to transfer immediately, otherwise you will not be as easy as it is now if you want to retreat when the German plane is dispatched. Thinking of this, they urged them to say: "Well, comrades, since the communications company has successfully made a breakthrough, then we should also retreat. If the German planes are dispatched and the ground troops chase after them, we just want to withdraw. I can't withdraw." After I finished speaking, I lifted my foot and walked down the hillside.

"Comrade Colonel, please wait a moment." Seeing that I was about to leave, Yevtifeyev suddenly dashed in front of me, blocked my way, and said loudly: "We can't withdraw right now."

"Why?" Because I was worried that the German plane would come back at any time, my tone was particularly blunt when I said this. "Our mission is to rescue you. Now that you are out of danger, you should leave here as soon as possible. You Blocking my way, are you planning to stay and have a banquet with the Germans?"

Yevtifeyev shook his hands desperately and said anxiously: "It's not like this, it's not like this. Comrade Colonel, you have misunderstood me. I said that we can't withdraw because we still have troops that haven't withdrawn. "
