Burning Moscow

After the 113th Regiment of Guards occupied the Crudeau Gully, apart from splitting up a battalion of troops and following the enemy’s fleeing troops to pursue them, the rest were all cleaned up in the gutter to clean up the battlefield, to treat our wounded and clean up. The corpses of the enemy and ours on the battlefield, as well as the removal of the German remnants that are still hidden behind the slag.

Looking at the busy commanders and soldiers in the distance, I finally asked what I was holding in my heart: "Comrade General, I want to ask, why is your army not equipped with communication equipment?"

After listening to my question, Guriyev sighed, and replied with a wry smile: "Colonel Oshanina, how can it be possible that a team of this size does not have communication equipment? It is because I arranged a communication company and artillery. The group crossed the river together. At present, they are still staying on the east bank of the Volga River, and they don't know what can cross the river."

While talking, there was a small group of commanders in the distance running in our direction. Since I saw that they were not from the direction of the Krudau gully, I immediately thought that the commanders and fighters of the 114th regiment might be coming to Guriyev. Report the situation. Thinking of this, I touched Guriyev with my elbow, pointed at the officers and men who were running towards us, and said, "Comrade General, look at them, there are a group of officers and men here. But they are not from the direction of the Krudau Gully. , It should be your subordinates to report to you that the fighting tension is coming."

Guriyev actually looked at the group of officers and fighters with a telescope for a while, called a soldier in the guard camp nearby, and ordered: "You go and see, who is it? If it is from the 114th regiment, it will be Bring him here. If it's not from the 114th regiment, just ask him what's up and report to me."

After the soldier took the order and left, he soon returned to us with one of the commanders. Reported to Guriyev: "Comrade commander, the messenger of the 114th regiment is here. He said he has important information to report to you."

The second lieutenant who followed the soldier back took two steps forward. He walked in front of us and reported loudly to Guriyev: "The commander is the same. I am the liaison officer of the 114th regiment. I was ordered by the regimental commander to inform you of the fighting situation in the Dolji Gully."

"Go ahead, Comrade Lieutenant, I will listen carefully to reports from the front." After speaking, Guriyev looked at the ensign with a look of expectation, as if he hoped that from his mouth, he heard that the other army would also get a lot of money. News of victory. However, he was quickly disappointed. The second lieutenant said with a sad look: "Comrade commander. Our regiment’s attack on the Dolji Gully was very unsuccessful. Because the ditch was filled with mine ash all the year round, the enemy was still there. The commanding heights are equipped with firepower points. As soon as our troops launch an offensive, they will condescendingly use machine guns against every stone in the ditch, every possible Tibetan bunker, and every inch of potatoes. We launched five attacks in succession, all Because of the enemy’s crossfire at the commanding heights, it failed, and the three battalions that were the main offensive missions were almost exhausted."

After listening to the complaints of his subordinates, Guriyev, who was quite a commanding general, did not blame the other party, but nodded and turned to look at me. Asked in a negotiating tone: "Colonel Oshanina, can you let your artillery soldiers run again. Go to the Dolji Gully and provide the 114th Regiment with the necessary artillery support for the attack? "

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away!" In response to Guriyev and Yan Yuese's request. I agreed without hesitation, and immediately called Basmanov, who was standing next to him, to give Morozov my order.

Seeing that Basmanov was leaving, Guriyev quickly ordered the second lieutenant: "Second lieutenant, follow this captain to the friendly artillery unit and take them to the Dolji ditch. Remember, go back and tell your regiment. Long, when attacking, we must send manpower to seize the commanding heights. Eliminate the enemy's firepower."

After Basmanov and the second lieutenant left, Guriyev gratefully said to me: "Thank you. Colonel Oshanina. I believe that with the support of the artillery, we will be able to successfully complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters. ."

Both of us came to Krudau Gully. Just met the head of the 113 regiment. This medium-sized colonel walked over, stood in front of us, and reported the results to Guriyev without salute: "Comrade commander, in the previous battle, we sacrificed 426 people, wounded 127 people, and wiped out the enemy. 214 people and 39 captured."

After listening to the colonel’s report, Guriyev was briefly in consternation, and then shouted at the other party: "Comrade Colonel, what is going on? Why are there German prisoners?"

As soon as I said this, let alone the commander of the 113th Guards Regiment, even standing next to me was stunned. I thought it was normal to catch a few German prisoners in the battle. Can I be so emotional? I originally wanted to persuade Guriyev to tell him that although our casualties were a bit large, we were able to wipe out more than 200 enemies and captured dozens of them, which was a good result.

Before I could speak, Guriyev said something that surprised me: "Comrade Colonel, although your 113th regiment played well, I have to criticize you for the prisoner issue. You think we currently have containment. Captive ability?" At this point, he intentionally paused, wanting to give the colonel a chance to explain. Unexpectedly, the colonel lowered his head and was honestly accepting his criticism, so he went on and said, "It seems that you also understand that we have no ability to contain prisoners at all, even if these prisoners are handed over to the command of the group army. I think they will also feel a headache. Since they don't have the ability to contain prisoners, what do we want these prisoners to do?"

"Comrade commander, what do you mean?" The head of the group standing in front of Guriyev waited for his commander to finish, with a look of astonishment on his face, and then cautiously asked: "To those prisoners..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guriyev raised his hand to interrupt the words behind him, and said, "Since you already know how to do it, what are you still standing here for, why don't you go back and execute it?"

The colonel snapped and stood at attention, and after a loud promise, he turned and ran into the ditch. Within two minutes, there was a series of dull gunfire and screams in the depths of the ditch, and then there were sporadic pistol shots. I guess the commander was dealing with the German soldiers who hadn't died yet. Make up the gun.

Seeing that I was staring at the ditch, Guriyev might be afraid of what I thought, so he quickly explained to me: "Colonel Oshanina. You might think I’m cruel to do this, but the situation is special now. I have to……"

"I understand. Comrade General." Before he could finish speaking, I took the lead. In a comprehensive tone, he said: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. If I change my position, I believe I will make the same decision as you."

After listening to my statement, Guriyev took the initiative to reach out to me and said in a friendly manner: "Thank you, Colonel Oshanina, thank you for your understanding of me. I believe that our two divisions will definitely Can establish a deep fighting friendship."

Just when the two of us were shaking hands. A Guards soldier wearing a steel helmet hurriedly ran over. The soldier serving as the guard stopped him and questioned him a few words before letting him pass.

The soldier came in front of us, raised his hand and saluted, and took care of Guriyev and me. Then he said anxiously: "Reporter, comrade commander, my reconnaissance team and I discovered during reconnaissance missions. A large number of German troops appeared behind the division, and they are approaching here."

"Does the enemy have tanks and armored vehicles?" Guriyev asked nervously.

The soldier shook his head slowly: "We only found about one battalion of German troops advancing here, and no mechanized troops were found behind them."

"Chief of Staff. Chief of Staff." Guriyev turned his head and shouted loudly: "Come to me now."

Although the chief of staff of the division left Guriyev's side from time to time, he remained within our sight and heard Guriyev call him. I quickly came to our side and asked Guriyev: "Comrade Commander, what instructions do you have?"

"According to the scout's report, the enemy has about one battalion of infantry. They are pressing from behind us. They immediately ordered the commander of the 113th regiment to set up defenses at the entrance of the ditch and prepare to block the sudden emergence of the German army."

After the chief of staff relayed the order, the commander of the 113th regiment transferred the relatively complete second battalion to the mouth and built a simple fortification on the top of the **** dump.

I stayed with Guriyev in a simple bunker near Mizoguchi. While trying to persuade Guriyev to withdraw the headquarters, another scout came to report to Guriyev: "Comrade commander. There is a new situation. The German barracks went out to Zekhovs. After the main street and Bibleyskiy street, I suddenly stopped moving forward. What seems to be waiting in place?"

Guriyev’s chief of staff quickly unfolded the map and spread it out in front of us. Guriyev frowned and looked at the Stalingrad city defense map in front of him, and said blankly: "From these two streets to us, the distance is less than two kilometers, and the Germans can take up to ten or twenty minutes. They can come. But they stopped here somehow. What are they trying to do, what are their conspiracies?"

The scout added: "By the way, comrade commander, there is one thing I almost forgot. On the left flank of the German army, one of our troops is also approaching us. The commander is obviously very cautious, although the route of their march is different. The enemy was stationed only one street away, but it was not discovered by the enemy."

Hearing that a friendly army was approaching here, Guriyev's eyes suddenly brightened, and he quickly raised his head and asked the scout: "Comrade soldier, have you made it clear, what troop is coming?"

The scout nodded vigorously, and replied, "We sent someone to inquire about it, and the other party said they belonged to the independent division."

"Independent division group?!" Guriyev instinctively turned his head to look at me, and asked confusedly: "Colonel Oshanina, I want to ask, when did you send this team?"

Hearing the numbers from the scouts made me feel quite puzzled. The formation of a regiment has long been crippled. How could it be possible to send troops to support friendly forces without my permission? Thinking of this, I asked the scout: "Comrade soldier, how many of our troops are here?"

The scout thought for a while, and replied affirmatively: "According to the report from the comrades who went to investigate the news, there were more than 600 people, and the leader was a major ~www.wuxiaspot.com~It seems to be called Sederikov. He said that he was the commander of a regiment and was ordered by the commander to reinforce us."

"Colonel Oshanina, what the **** is going on?" Guriyev was completely confused by what the scout said. He asked tentatively: "You don't want to surprise us, so that's why. A force was sent to follow us."

I sorted out my thoughts a bit, and understood what was going on in my heart. After a light cough, I whispered to Guriyev, "General Guriyev, if I tell you, almost all of my regiment has been lighted up, and the regiment’s commander is not a major, but a Chinese regiment. In school, can you understand what is going on?"

Guriyev frowned first. After thinking for a moment, his face suddenly showed a look of horror. He said in surprise: "Oh my God, Colonel Oshanina, if it really does what you said, then this so-called Allies..."

"Yes, Comrade General." I took his words and said in a positive tone: "This army does not belong to my independent division at all, but is disguised by the enemy." (To be continued)
