Burning Moscow

After dismantling the disguise of the German army for Guriyev, I am full of admiration for the German commander who made this decision. You must know that the battle situation has developed to the present point. The area occupied by the enemy and the enemy is intertwined. It is possible that two opposing forces will appear at the same time. Regarding their appearance, whether it is an offensive or defensive army, you will not have any doubts about an army that wears the same uniform as you. Fortunately, this German army posing as our army used the designation of our division, and it happened that the commander of my division saw through the other's poisonous schemes. Otherwise, Guriyev's guards would have to suffer a big loss.

Now that he knew that the enemy was coming, Guriyev knew it well. He continued to ask the scouts: "How far are the German troops posing as friendly forces?"

The scout knew from our conversation that the so-called friendly army he had dealt with was actually posing as a German army, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. In such a cold weather, his forehead was actually covered with sweat. Hearing Guryev’s question, he quickly raised his hand and wiped his sweat, and replied: “After passing through Cekhovsky Avenue, they occupied the buildings on both sides of the street and arranged defenses in the direction of another German army. A security guard was dispatched."

After listening to Guriyev, he turned to ask for my opinion: "Colonel Oshanina, how do you think we should deal with this German army posing as you?"

I thought for a while and replied: "The two German armies are very close. No matter which one we turn around to fight, we may be flanked by the other armies. That would be very detrimental to us."

"What do you mean, let this army stay there?" Guriyev said with a bit of displeasure: "But have you ever thought about it. We are because of you. We were lucky to see through the disguise of this German army." . If you change to other friendly forces, but you can’t tell the authenticity in the shortest time, it’s a big loss.”

"Comrade General, you have misunderstood." Seeing that Guriyev was thinking about it, I waved my hand hurriedly and said my plan: "The enemy does not know that their disguise has been seen through by us, since their purpose is to occupy. Crudeau ditch, and then I will definitely find ways to create opportunities to approach here. Now that we know the enemy's plan of action, then we can prepare a trap for the enemy. Let them jump in obediently."

As soon as I finished speaking, Guriyev asked with interest: "How can we dig traps for them?"

"Comrade Commander, you see, from the entrance of the gully to the first bend, there is about three hundred meters long. We can hide the commanders behind the **** piles on both sides and arrange more than a dozen on them. Machine gun firepower point. After the enemy enters our ambush circle, the machine gun will break the fire first, disrupt the enemy’s marching queue, and then the soldiers hiding behind the **** pile rush to the top of the **** pile and teach them severely with grenades. Within a few minutes, this enemy can be severely damaged or even wiped out."

"What about the entrance of the gully?" Guriyev groaned and did not speak, but his division chief of staff said his own question: "If the troops are not guarded. The enemy sees that there is no one guarding the entrance. It is possible to stop advancing, or even divide the troops to march along the top of the dregs, so that our ambush plan will fail. If we only send a small number of troops to stay behind, we may be disarmed by this German army wearing our uniform."

"The chief of staff makes sense," Guriyev echoed his chief of staff's opinion, and then asked me: "Colonel Oshanina, what can you do to make the enemy enter the ditch boldly and unsuspectingly?"

When I gave Guriyev's advice, I really didn't think about the problem mentioned by the chief of staff. At this time, I heard that Guriyev had the same concerns, and I couldn't help but make it difficult. After a short period of consideration, I said to Guriyev: "Comrade General, I thought this way. First, the scouts went to the commander of the German army and provided him with false information. After the guards captured the Crudeau gully, only one company was left to guard the entrance, and the rest of the troops rushed to the factory area. Second, left a company at the entrance of the gully Troops, remember, you need a company with strong combat effectiveness, and machine guns must be erected on the commanding heights on both sides of the gully entrance. This way, when the enemy’s troops arrive, even if they intend to clean up our left-behind troops, once they see At the machine gun positions high on both sides of the entrance, they will dispel this idea, bite the bullet and continue to camouflage, and will speed up through the Crudo Gully."

After listening to my plan, Guriyev nodded and turned to ask his chief of staff: "Comrade Chief of Staff, what do you think of Colonel Oshanina's plan?"

The Chief of Staff took a look at me and said with a smile: "Comrade Commander, I think Colonel Oshanina's plan is very comprehensive."

"The other German army won't follow up later, right?" Guriyev asked a little worried.

"I think the main purpose of the enemy staying there is still the purpose of containing our army. It will never move easily." After the chief of staff said his judgment, he looked at the scout standing next to him with some worry and said: "What I am most worried about now is whether the scouts will reveal any flaws when they go back to trick the German commander."

The Chief of Staff’s words made my heart feel a little bit. Now the key to the whole plan lies with this scout. If he sees the German commander again, if he gets nervous and goes wrong, he wants to eliminate this pretending to be me. It’s not so easy for the German army. Once they flee to other defense areas of our army, they will cause heavy losses to the garrison troops there.

Seeing that the eyes of the few of us were turned to ourselves, the scout became more and more nervous and at a loss.

Seeing his performance, Guriyev sighed slightly and said sincerely to the scout: "Comrade soldier, because this matter is the most important thing, I don't force you. If you feel that you are not suitable for this task, You can say it directly, and I will arrange for others to perform this task."

The scout, who was originally embarrassed, flushed with excitement when he heard his commander say this. Hold back for a while. Then he said gruffly: "Comrade teacher. Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task. If you can't complete the task you gave me," he said, he patted the pistol pinned to his waist, "No need If you deal with me, I will shoot myself in the head with a gun."

Regarding the scout's statement, Guriyev and the chief of staff looked at each other, and then both of them showed knowing smiles. Guriyev walked over and patted the scout on the shoulder. Said amiably: "Comrade fighters, don’t be nervous, you are just like reporting to your superiors, telling the commander of the German army: Due to the fierce fighting in the factory area, our troops only One company stayed behind to guard the entrance of the gully, and the rest of the troops went through the gully to reinforce the factory's garrison troops. Ask them to enter the gully to take over our defense immediately. Remember?"

"Remember, comrade commander." The scout replied loudly, "Please rest assured. I promise to complete the mission!"

Guriyev nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said to the scout: "Then go quickly. Comrade soldier. After the battle is over, I will give you credit."

After the scouts left, Guriyev discussed with the chief of staff which unit should be responsible for guarding Mizoguchi. After a discussion on the progress of the two, it was finally unanimously decided that the first battalion and three companies that had participated in the first round of offensive. The chief of staff also specifically called the third company commander with a bandage on his head, and repeatedly explained to him a series of precautions after seeing the German troops posing as our army.

And Guriyev and I came to the back of the **** pile at the turn, where his troops built a simple command post for him, and the movement in the ditch could be clearly observed.

After half an hour of waiting, German troops posing as our army appeared. Since we had made careful arrangements in advance, the defenders holding the Mizoguchi set up a machine gun on the commanding heights on both sides, so the Germans did not dare to act rashly, but lined up into the ditch as we imagined. .

Seeing the enemy entering the ditch, the chief of staff hurriedly called the temporarily erected phone to inform the commanders ambushing on both sides to prepare the troops below for all combat preparations. Once the gunshot was heard, the machine guns on both sides fired decisively. Strive to wipe out the people who have entered our ambush.

While the Chief of Staff was not paying attention, Guriyev gently touched me with his elbow and whispered: "Colonel Oshanina, are you interested? Go to the top of the dregs to see if our soldiers are fighting." Yes?" I looked at the chief of staff who was calling, and nodded gently.

In this way, Guriyev and I, as well as five or six officers and soldiers, cautiously came to the top of the **** pile, and lay on the ground to observe the German troops that entered the ditch and were approaching us.

When the German soldiers disguised as our troops walked in the middle of the gutter with pride, just as we thought we had deceived our commanders and successfully passed through our defensive positions and entered our rear, with a sound The sudden sound of gunfire caused an unexpected scene to happen!

"Fire! Fire! Fire!!!" Just after the sound of the firing gun, a series of shouts rang out for the first time. The machine guns mounted on the commanding heights on both sides fired fiercely. A crossed firepower net formed by dozens of flaming tongues. , The densely packed German soldiers in the ditch were covered tightly. Before the hundreds of German soldiers recovered, nearly half of them were knocked down by the dense bullets, and the rest hurriedly dispersed, each looking for hiding places in an attempt to organize a stubborn resistance on the spot.

The intensive machine gun shooting just ceased, and hundreds of soldiers hiding behind the **** pile, under the orders of commanders at all levels, decisively rushed to the top of the **** pile, smashing countless grenades into the ditch and exploding. Get the remaining enemies howling ghosts and wolves. Before the explosion of the grenade stopped, the light and heavy machine gun with its magazine changed again and fired at the Germans. After throwing two rounds of grenades, the commanders and fighters also took up their guns, aimed at the ditch and fired.

On my right is the guard battalion commander Basmanov~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On his right is a soldier of the guard company. From the beginning of the battle, he also shot the enemy at the bottom of the ditch with his gun. I just watched him fire two shots and found that he was different. Others all aimed at and pulled the trigger, but he shot without aiming and lifted the gun. After the shot, he pulled the bolt to retreat. The shell was dropped, and then a second shot was fired. Almost every time the shot was fired, a German soldier fell to the ground.

When the gunfire stopped and the gunpowder smoke dissipated, the corpses in the ditch were everywhere, blood was flowing into the river, and the screams of wounded but not dead German soldiers were shaking. As new orders were issued, the soldiers slowly walked down from the top of the **** pile with their weapons, and started a dragnet search. In addition to collecting weapons and ammunition, as long as they found that there was still a gasp, they did not hesitate to make up one by one. gun.

I remained silent about this killing behavior of the guards. In fact, as early as Guriyev said that his troops did not have the ability to take prisoners, and hinted that his commander had executed the prisoners, I knew in my heart. At least for a long time, the 39th Guards Division will not have any German prisoners. And this group of German soldiers disguised as our army can only blame them for bad luck, just hitting the sharp knife edge of the guards. (To be continued...)
