Burning Moscow

A regiment has newly added more than two thousand soldiers. Although Sederikov has reported to us in detail, I still doubt the current combat effectiveness of the regiment. After all, if so many soldiers have been added, is it? It really has the kind of powerful combat power he described, and it will take time to test it.

While Akhromeyev was still confiding in Oberstein, the phone on the desk rang. I was close to the phone and grabbed it. Cui Koff’s voice came out of the receiver, and he smiled and asked: "Oshanina, I have already contacted General Petrov. He promised to send you a telegram to explain the matter personally. I don’t know that you received his telegram. Yet?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander." I replied respectfully: "In the telegram, General Petrov specifically mentioned this Captain Karpov and said that if he were to withdraw from Odessa at that time, He will be awarded the Red Flag Medal for his outstanding performance on the battlefield. Although there is no further information about Captain Karpov, I estimate that we have the hope of success for the actions he will take next."

Cui Kefu was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "Well, since you are so confident, let's try. If we fail, we have nothing to lose; but if it succeeds, it can affect the morale of the enemy. You guys. Who are you going to send to perform this difficult task?"

"After research by the leaders of our division, we decided to send Comrade Savchenko. Like Kirilov's political commissar, he is from the Political Department of the Group Army and is absolutely politically reliable."

"Well, now that you have a suitable candidate, do it boldly. I am waiting for the news of your success."

As soon as I put down the phone, Kirilov asked nervously, "Comrade Oshaninna, how is it. What did Comrade Commander say?"

I nodded at him, smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Comrade Political Commissar. The commander has agreed with our opinion, let us just let it go."

Sergeikov didn't know what we were talking about. After we finished talking, I couldn't help but curiously asked me: "Comrade Teacher, are you going to implement any big plans?"

I waved at the curious baby Sergeikov, and said with a smile: "Go, go, don't inquire, at your level, you are not qualified to know."

I scolded Xiejielikov a few words. There was still a hippy smile on his face, and he half-joked and half-seriously said: "Teacher, political commissar, I want to talk to you. If you want to fight, you must not forget the group. You must know our group. The combat effectiveness is not worse than when it was at its peak."

"Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov, are you true?" Hearing Sederikov mentioning the combat effectiveness of the regiment again, I couldn't help but arouse my curiosity. Based on what I know about him, although I don't think he is bragging. But he still asked him solemnly: "Does your group's current combat effectiveness really compare to the past?"

"Comrade Commander, I will lie to you. Of course it is true." Sederikov heard the skepticism in my tone and couldn't help but excuse in an aggrieved tone: "If you don't believe it, you can. Go and see for yourself."

"Just take a look," Hearing what he said, I really moved the thought of going to the group. "I will go with you now. I want to see with my own eyes how strong your group is now?"

Kirilov heard that I was going to a group and quickly stood up and stopped me: "Comrade Oshanina, you have only encountered danger for a few hours. Why did you forget it so soon?" In order to make me change my mind, Persuaded me earnestly. "You are the commander of a division, and your position is in the division headquarters. Instead of running around like a company commander."

Sergeikov didn’t know anything about my distress. Hearing Kirilov’s words, he quickly asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, you are in danger today. What's the matter?"

Akhromeyev, who had just explained his mission to Oberstein, happened to hear these words and immediately explained to him: "At dawn, the Germans attacked the positions of the Fourth Regiment. The division commander wanted to know how the battle was going. Even the guards The soldiers did not bring one, and ran to the observation post on the mountainside. Unexpectedly, just after the German attack on the Fourth Regiment’s position was repelled, a German soldier in our uniform came up to the mountain and the position The commanders of the Second Regiment exchanged fire...."

"Wait, you are talking about the Germans wearing our uniforms?" Oberstein, who has not spoken all the time, said suddenly: "Have you confirmed it? Is it a deserter of our army?"

Oberstein's words made me stunned for a moment. From the moment of distress, the squad I attacked was disguised as a German. Moreover, a corpse was searched and no documents were found to prove the identity of the opponent.

When I was silent, Akhromeyev had already picked up the phone on the desk. From his name, I heard that he was calling the command post of the second regiment. After all, today’s battle took place in the regiment’s defense zone, and dozens of German corpses were still on their positions. We must understand the attack. The identity of the person through the second group is the most suitable.

But before Akhromeyev could ask about the reason, I had already sorted out the clues in my mind, and I confidently said to Oberstein: "I can confirm that the attacker was the German. Because I and When Lieutenant Colonel Oleg, commander of the second regiment, was trapped in an anti-cannon hole, he heard the voices of the soldiers outside, and they all spoke German."

After Akhromeyev put down the phone, he reported to me: "Comrade commander, the political commissar of Vellore reported that a dozen military certificates were found on the body of the attacker. The above content shows that they are all The 184th Infantry Division."

"The 184th Infantry Division, Colonel Kojda's troops." Kirilov said to him the number Akhromeyev had just reported to him. He sneered and shook his head. Then he said regretfully: There was a serious loss of personnel during the battle. As early as September 15th, I was ordered to withdraw to the east bank of the Volga River for rest and refurbishment. Needless to say, this squad must be disguised by the Germans, but we don’t know which unit they came from. "

I turned my face to Sergeikov and said, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, the political commissar of Oberstein will not go back with you later. He stayed and has more important work to do. During the time he left. Here, you are responsible for everything in the regiment.” After finishing speaking, regardless of whether his face was resentful or not, he turned to look at Kirilov and said, “Committee. I plan to visit the regiment. Learn how their regiment’s current real combat power is."

Kirilov heard me say this, and unexpectedly did not object. He pondered for a moment, and finally solemnly said to me: "Comrade Oshanina. I don't object to you going to a regiment, but the road is not safe, so you have to bring a few more guards with you. In this case, I and I Major Akhromeyev will feel at ease in his heart." At this point, he turned his head and asked Akhromeyev: "You think so, Comrade Chief of Staff?"

"Yes, Comrade Political Commissar." After Akhromeyev finished answering this sentence, he grabbed the phone on the table again. Said: "I'll call Captain Basmanov and ask him to select two guard classes to follow the division commander."

Before I left with Sejerikov, Kirilov pointed at me with his index finger, and kindly reminded me again: "Comrade Oshanina, I ask you to remember that you are the commander of the teacher. Don’t start a war, just like an ordinary soldier. Hold your gun and fight the enemy face to face."

"Don't worry, comrade political comrade." After taking a look at me, Sederikov stated to Kirilov: "I am responsible for protecting the safety of the teacher. I will never let her accident."

After listening to Sergeikov's words, Kirilov walked over, reached out his hands to grab his arm, and slapped it twice to express his inner gratitude. Then he smiled at me and nodded, which was a kind of acquiescence.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, although the sky was still dark, there was no one in sight. It's a bit scary to be quiet.

When Sergeikov came, he brought five guards with him. I brought another twenty guards, and the people on both sides gathered together. The number is really quite large. Sergeikov looked to the sky and said to me in an imploring tone: "Comrade Commander, so many of us are walking together, the goal is too big. If the enemy plane appears, we will become the target of air strikes."

"What do you say?" I knew that he was concerned about my comfort. Although I was dissatisfied, he still gave him the command of the small unit temporarily.

"Divide the existing people into three groups, each with ten people. When marching, there is a 30-meter interval between each group. So that our goal during the march will not be too big."

"Well, listen to you and do what you say." I readily agreed with his opinion.

Half an hour later, we came to a residential area where a group was stationed. Since the last time I came here, it has been bombed many times. Some houses have been bombed down, and some houses have only one or two walls collapsed. The intact houses are completely invisible.

Passing around a half-collapsed house, came to an open land full of rubble, and saw a team of hundreds of people gathered here. When we came over, they were forming a team. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but curiously asked Sederikov: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, what are they doing?"

"That's it, comrade commander." Sederikov explained to me: "At the side of the building on the side of the road, we arranged for soldiers to be on duty and on guard in units of companies. The reason for this arrangement is that Taking into account the inconvenience, if there are only a few people, the enemy has almost rushed into our station by the time they send out the combat alert. And in units of companies, even if the enemy has a large force coming over, it can also issue a combat alert. At the same time, block the enemy and wait for the main force of the regiment to enter the position."

Regarding Sergeikov’s arrangement, I nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "How often does the guard change guard?"

"Change every eight hours. The three battalions take turns in charge of the security work. There are three companies in each battalion. This way, every company can be involved in the duty."

The appearance of a large group of us immediately attracted the attention of the commanders who were gathering. The captain standing in front of the queue giving orders, seeing that the soldiers were standing neatly, ran all the way to greet us. He came to us, raised his hand just about to salute Sergeikov, and suddenly found me standing next to me with a higher rank than him, and he couldn't help but froze in place.

Seeing that the captain was in a daze, Sergeikov quickly said to him with a smile: "This is our commander, Colonel Oshanina, you can report to him."

The captain hurriedly raised his hand to salute me, and at the same time reported loudly: "Comrade Commander, Captain Grakov reports to you that the third battalion and the nine company are assembled and are about to exchange defenses with the friendly forces. Please give instructions!"

"Captain Grakov," I answered politely, looking at the stranger in front of me, "Go on the mission!"

The captain agreed. Turned around and ran back to the queue, greeted his men to take over the defense of the friendly army. Looked at the back of him leaving. Sederikov introduced to me: "This captain is from the 87th Infantry Division. When the division was ordered to retreat and replenish on September 14, he did not leave with the troops, but stayed with a dozen soldiers. Fighting continued in the city. Two days ago, he and his comrades were broken up by the enemy and inadvertently broke into the defense zone of our regiment. I saw that he had rich combat experience and was a commander, so I left him Became a company commander in the regiment." At this point, he entangled me stubbornly. "Comrade commander, our regiment is indeed too short of commanders now, can you find a way to transfer a few for me?"

"Where do I adjust for you?" I said angrily: "Or, I'll come over and become company commander for you."

"No, no," I said, frightened Sederikov waved his hands again and again, and said loudly: "At your level, if you come to my regiment as a company commander, I can only be in the company. Soldier." Then he continued to say in an imploring tone, "Let’s think of a way. Commander, I still lack a battalion commander in the second battalion, so you can help me resolve the candidate for the battalion commander. Okay?"

"Where can I find you a battalion commander back?! I won't change a lot..." I just said this, suddenly remembering a candidate, and stopped the following words in time, but cautiously Said: "If you really want a battalion commander, do I have a suitable candidate?"

Hearing what I said, Sergeikov was overjoyed and asked repeatedly: "Who is it? Do I know?"

"That man was called Serebriani, a second lieutenant of the Second Regiment. Some time ago I asked him to lead troops into the Soviet Avenue. I assisted the 42nd Regiment of the Guards in the defense. In order to strengthen their determination to hold the position, I gave Xie Lebrianne was promoted to lieutenant. He announced to the public that if they can hold on until October 5th, I will promote each person in the company to the first level."

Sergeikov heard me say this, first he was happy, then a trace of worry appeared on his face, and then he hesitantly asked: "Master, you transfer the commander of the second regiment to my regiment, Austria Lieutenant Colonel Legge won’t have any comments?"

"Relax, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." I said with a grin: "When Serebriani and his subordinates were transferred to Soviet Street, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg was still serving as the fifth regiment commander in your current resident. I know that there is a person like Sherebryan. That’s it. After the 5th, I will transfer Captain Sherebryan and his company to you."

"Commander, didn't you just say a lieutenant? How come you became a captain again?" Sergeikov asked confusedly.

I was so angry that I kicked him and cursed: "When I spoke just now, what did you do? Didn't you hear me say that if his troops stay on the Soviet Street until October 5th, I will give them All are promoted to the first level."

While they were talking, the soldiers replaced by the Jiu Company successively walked out of several nearby buildings. Looking at these miscellaneous troops wearing different clothes and holding different types of weapons, I asked Sergeikov with interest: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, these are the troops you have just gathered? Look at their clothes and weapons. It's all messed up, and I don't know how effective their fighting is?"

"Don't worry," Sergeikov said to me confidently: "Although many of them only took up their weapons for a short time, all of them have been training very hard, less than a day. In the time, everyone learned to shoot."

When I heard Sejerikov say this, I couldn’t help but rolled my eyes at him, saying that when I was participating in military training in school, I learned how to shoot a gun in only ten minutes, and I could skillfully disassemble a gun in one day. Up. Just as he was about to say a few words, I suddenly saw a young girl with a bandage on her head passing in front of me with a rifle on her back.

I hurriedly yelled: "Girl, please wait a moment."

The girl stopped, turned around, and looked me up and down, the round-faced girl raised her hand to salute me a non-standard military salute, smiled and asked politely: "Command Comrade, did you call me?"

I nodded, pointed to the bandage on her head and asked, "How did the injury on your head come from?"

The girl's smile froze on her face, she gritted her teeth and said, "They hurt me."

"Who? Who is it?!" The girl's words made me furious. I wondered whether someone in the soldier looked at other people's beauty, and tried to insult her and hurt her after being resisted, so I looked left and right. Then, angrily asked: "Who did it on earth?"

My fierce expression shocked everyone present. After a while, Sederikov, who was standing next to me, first came to his senses, and quickly explained to me with a smile: "Comrade Commander, you have misunderstood. The wound on this girl's head was caused by a German. of."

"Yes, Comrade Commander, I was injured by the Germans." The girl also understood that I had an oolong and hurriedly said to me: "The place where my house lives is occupied by the Germans. I and those who are hiding in the basement The neighbors were all caught by the Germans. When they asked us to dig fortifications, I took advantage of the German soldiers guarding not to pay attention, greeted a few of my companions, and ran out along the trenches that were half dug. As a result, I ran halfway through the trenches. It was discovered by the Germans. The machine gun they mounted on the armored vehicle swept over to us. Several of my companions were killed on the spot, and I was also injured. Fortunately, there was a crater next to it. I didn’t hesitate to jump in and escaped. After a catastrophe."

"Are you used to it here?" I asked concerned: "Do you need me to arrange for you to go to the east bank of the Volga?"

The girl shook her head like a rattle~www.wuxiaspot.com~ resolutely replied: "Comrade Commander, thank you for your kindness. I want to stay and fight against the German devils with you and avenge our sacrifices." After speaking, he turned and ran away without looking back.

Looking at the girl's back, I thoughtfully asked Sederikov: "Are there many female soldiers like this in your regiment?"

Sergeikov shook his head and said: "Not many, only a dozen. Because they have been trained by the militia and know some military skills, I temporarily put them into the combat force."

"Let them stay in the combat unit for a while," I sighed and said, "Wait for a while, and then arrange for them to go to the health team or the communications company. For the female soldiers, those units are the most suitable for them. of."

"Yes, I will arrange this personally." After Sergeikov said this, he looked around, and then said to me in a pleading tone: "Comrade Commander, it is not safe outside, we still Go to the regiment command post first." (To be continued)
