Burning Moscow

As the German troops retreated to the north side of the square, I couldn't help sighing. This wave of the enemy's offensive was repelled by us, so we won at least half an hour or even longer to adjust our deployment and strengthen our defense.

I took a look at the dozens of sparsely sparsely squeezed commanders and fighters around me, and then cast my eyes on the buildings on both sides of the street. I secretly calculated that if these commanders and fighters were sent to the building to defend, it would severely disperse the forces. The attacking German troops can calmly wipe out our defenders in the building one by one. If you want to use the limited forces to defend such a wide defense zone, it seems that you must change your mindset and concentrate your troops to hold on to some key support points. As long as you defend these support points, you can block the enemy's offensive.

When I was considering which buildings to place the troops into, there was a rush of footsteps nearby. Following the voice and turning his head to see, a group of fighters were running quickly towards us. The one running at the forefront was a sailor. As he ran, he turned his head and urged the soldiers behind: "Hurry up, everyone, speed up, hurry up!"

I am familiar with the voice of the sailor, and I want to take a closer look at who is it? The guard battalion commander Basmanov suddenly yelled excitedly: "Commander, you see, the one running at the forefront is the sailor sergeant Holol of the 92nd Infantry Brigade." After that, he greeted him quickly. Stepped forward and waved his hands at the opponent.

After Holol saw him, he just raised his hand to salute, and kept running to me with the group of soldiers under his feet, leaving only Basmanov with a blank face, holding one high up. Hands in a daze.

I stretched out my hand to stop the sergeant sailor who was approaching, and asked loudly, "Hey, I said Comrade sergeant, where are you going?"

Hollow stopped. Turning his head to look at the comrades in the back, pointing at the corridor door we just came out of, and said loudly: "Comrades. The team leader is in that building, rush with me!"

Seeing that they were going to rush into that building. I hurriedly moved a few steps to the left, blocked their way, and asked Holol in doubt, "Comrade sergeant, are you planning to enter this building?"

Holol nodded vigorously, and said anxiously: "Comrade Colonel, our regimental leader is trapped by the Germans. I will take someone to rescue him now. Please don't stand in our way. Also. What if. If possible, I want to beg you to send some soldiers to help me enter the building to save people."

Hearing him said that his team leader was trapped in the building, I immediately thought of Colonel Ye Lin, who had just been sent away, so I asked tentatively: "Sergeant Hollo, you are going to rescue Colonel Ye Lin. ?"

Hollow, who was about to raise his head and continue rushing into the building, stopped immediately after hearing what I said, and asked nervously, "Comrade Colonel, how do you know that the enemy trapped in the building is Colonel Ye Lin? Ah. Have you seen him?"

"Of course I have seen it!" Before I could speak, Basmanov, who had just been ignored by Holor, walked over and said angrily: "Not only I saw the head of the 42nd Guards Regiment, Ye Lin. We also All the Germans in the building were wiped out."

"This is really great!" Hearing the news, Hollow turned and said excitedly to the group of soldiers he had brought with him: "Comrades, have you all heard? Our regiment leader has escaped safely. "When the soldiers began to cheer, he turned to face me again, raised his hand to a military salute, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you for saving our captain."

I really want to know how Holol learned that Ye Lin was besieged by the enemy and could bring a large group of soldiers to rescue him, so I asked curiously: "Comrade Sergeant. What is going on?"

Hearing this question from me, Hollow's face blushed slightly. Then a little embarrassed to explain to me: "When the enemy rushed in, because there were not many people defending the regiment. After the fierce battle, the guards were almost killed and wounded, and I was trapped in a room on the second floor by the enemy. In. After killing a hapless guy who broke in, I jumped from the window and ran back to the division quickly along the traffic trench behind the building. After reporting to the division commander, he was left from the division guard camp. Thirty soldiers from the army sent me to rescue the captain.” After explaining the situation, he approached me, looked at the building next to it with a few rooms emitting heavy smoke, and asked carefully: "Comrade Colonel, do you know where our team leader is?"

I nodded, pointed to Mamayev Gang in the distance, and said: "When we rescued Colonel Ye Lin, he was already seriously injured, so I sent someone to the health clinic of our division. The one who accompanied him was the only surviving second lieutenant."

"Master, what shall we do next?" Morozov walked to my side and asked me for instructions.

I turned my head and looked at Morozov’s 30 artillery soldiers and a dozen soldiers from the guard battalion, and said with a wry smile: "We have limited forces now. It is unrealistic to defend the entire street. So I thought about it. Before the arrival of new reinforcements, we can only choose a few houses as support points for defense."

Basmanov looked at the dozens of soldiers around us, nodded, and said in agreement: "Master, I agree with you. With the dozens of us, if we want to defend such a wide Soviet Street, It is unrealistic. If only a few firepower support points are established, in addition to not dispersing the forces, it can also effectively resist the enemy's offensive."

I looked around, except for my troops, there were only dozens of soldiers brought by Holor. I waved at him and asked him to come to me, and then asked: "Comrade sergeant, here you are. Do you have communication equipment?"

After hearing this, Holol shook his head and replied like a rattle: "I'm sorry, comrade colonel, the walkie-talkie in the regiment was broken during the battle, otherwise I wouldn't have to run back to the division to report."

After listening to Hollow’s words, I couldn’t help but frowned. We didn’t bring any communication tools when we came out. Now the communication equipment of the 42nd Guards Regiment has also been damaged. If they contacted her husband, they only had to send someone back to Mamayev Hill.

Just as I was considering who to send back to report the letter, Basmanov patted my shoulder lightly, pointed to the Pavlov building in the distance and said to me: "Master, let's try it in that building. Well, maybe there is communication equipment there."

Basmanov has just finished speaking. I immediately shook my head and denied it. Others don’t know what happened to the Pavlov House. Am I still not sure? Not to mention Sergeant Pavlov who stood by the building. Even Rodimtsev and Trikov, who had been to inspect, couldn't think of this building that was guarded by only a few Soviet troops. It was actually able to hold on for up to two months under the strong offensives of the enemy, and finally the building could be named after the guardian after the war.

I smiled bitterly and said to Basmanov: "Captain, I have been to that building. There is only a small unit of the 42nd Guards Regiment. The commanding force is a sergeant named Pavlov. Do you think you can find communication equipment to communicate with division-level troops in a building where a platoon-level unit sticks to it?"

I have already said it for this purpose, if Basmanov still doesn't understand it. He does not deserve to be my guard battalion commander. Fortunately, he replied in time: "I understand, comrade commander, I will immediately send someone back to the division headquarters to report the letter, asking them to send reinforcements."

"Okay, let's send someone out. Try to bring reinforcements before the German army launches the next offensive." After I finished the order, I was not relieved, and said again: "For the sake of safety, send two soldiers. Starting in batches, even if you encounter an enemy on the road, you can ensure that one soldier returns to the headquarters safely."

Basmanov, who received my order, hurriedly called two soldiers and gave them orders. After receiving the order, the two soldiers agreed. Turned around and ran quickly to the east entrance of the street one after another. Seeing them leaving behind, I secretly prayed in my heart: You must return to the headquarters safely and bring the reinforcements we urgently need.

Basmanov walked back to my side again, and was about to say something. Suddenly he seemed to see something, his eyes were staring straight behind me, his expression scared my hair and my heart tingled. Said he didn't see the Germans rushing towards us, right?

Just when I was upset, he suddenly yelled: "Master. Look at it, it's our unit. The one running in the front. It seems to be the commander of the 13th Guards Division Rodimtsev. General."

I quickly turned my head and looked behind, and saw a large number of people appearing at the west entrance of the main street. There were at least seventy or eighty people, and the one walking in the front was indeed General Rodimtsev. The commanders behind him were dressed in a mess. There were soldiers wearing steel helmets and khaki cotton uniforms, sailors wearing black caps and sailor uniforms, and militiamen wearing caps and gray-blue overalls.

Holol saw the team appearing at the entrance, and he walked over and said to me excitedly: "Comrade Colonel, it is Master Rodimtsev who has brought us here." After that, he hurried up to greet me.

Seeing that all the commanders who can direct me appeared, I definitely couldn't stand still, so I also moved to follow Holol and walked towards Rodimtsev.

Holol walked up to Rodimtsev, who was carrying a pistol, stood at attention and saluted him and said, "Report to the commander, comrade..."

Before he could finish speaking, Rodimtsev raised his left hand to interrupt the words behind him, and asked with a serious expression: "Wait a minute, Comrade Sergeant, have I completed the task I entrusted to you?"

Hollow turned his head and glanced at me, then said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry~www.wuxiaspot.com~Comrade Commander, I didn't wait to complete the task you gave me."

"What?" Rodimtsev glared at Holol and asked in a loud voice, "Tell me, why didn't the task be completed?"

Holor shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Because the battle was over when I brought people there!"

Rodimtsev glanced at us, and then asked Holol: "Where is Colonel Yelin?"

Hearing Rodimtsev's question about Ye Lin, I hurriedly stepped forward and said first: "Comrade General, please allow me to report to you about Colonel Ye Lin!"

Rodimtsev glanced at me who was robbing me, and said angrily: "Colonel Oshanina, just say what you have to say. But I remind you, I can only give you one minute to Whatever you say, please hurry up."

Regarding Rodimtsev’s unfriendly attitude, I didn’t take it to heart. Instead, I said to myself: “Report to Comrade General. After we wiped out the German army in a building behind, we accidentally discovered After the seriously injured Colonel Ye Lin, I have ordered someone to send him to the health clinic in Mamayevgang."
