Burning Moscow

"Since this is the case," after listening to my words, Bantai Leyev said to me suddenly after he indulged for a moment: "Comrade Commander, since landmines are buried on the embankment, they cannot be let go behind the Germans. "Seeing that Akhromeyev and I were both watching him, then they said their own thoughts, "According to my observations during this period of time, there are several trucks going to and from the German front and rear camps every day. I guess. These years have been transported supplies. We planted a few landmines on the only way the German trucks must pass, and they will definitely blow up their transport team, so that their normal supplies will be affected."

I stared at the map carefully, and felt that Pantai Leyev's idea was very reasonable. It seems that his deputy commander is not a vain name, and he is more comprehensive than me. I stood up straight and said to him approvingly: "Comrade deputy commander, you are very thoughtful. You only plant landmines behind the Germans’ buttocks. No matter which direction they move, they can’t escape what we laid for them. Mine Array, in this way, their range of activities will be compressed by us in a limited space." At this point, I paused, turned my head and said to Akhromeyev: "Comrade Chief of Staff, take the deputy commander A map is also added to the indicated location."

Akhromeyev readily agreed, picked up the red and blue pencils on the table, and added several new locations for mine-laying just behind the German forward position. I was muttering to myself in a low voice as I painted, and I turned my ears to listen carefully, and vaguely heard him say: "...This is the enemy's patrol route, bury one here. After blowing up the vanguard, the enemy behind I will definitely run in this direction, so we will bury two more here and give him a pot end...."

Not only me, but Pantaiyev also heard Akhromeyev, and he grinned silently. Then asked me: "Comrade Teacher, do we have any important things to do during the day?"

When he said this, I remembered that it has been a while since the recruits added to the regiments. I don't know what the results of the training are. The first regiment did not recruit new recruits, so there was no need to call them; the second regiment was right under my nose. You can see the soldiers burying their heads in the trenches and training hard in the trenches every other time; the recent small-scale battles of the Fourth Regiment have not been stopped. Because Gaidar has transferred the recruit company to the battlefield in turn, it has achieved the purpose of training by battle. Don't call him. The rest is the three regiments. Since I have added new recruits, I have never asked about it. I have to call and ask if I have time today.

I picked up the phone on the desk while thinking. Called the headquarters of the third regiment. After hearing Godunov’s voice, I shouted at him: “Hey, I’m the commander Oshanina, is this Major Godunov?”

"It's me, comrade commander." Godunov's respectful voice came from the receiver, and he asked carefully: "May I ask if you are calling at this time, are there any important combat tasks that you want to hand over to our regiment? ?"

"How about the training of recruits in your regiment?" I asked straightforwardly.

"It's okay," Godunov replied vaguely: "After today's training. Almost all soldiers have learned to shoot."

"Optics can shoot guns." I was obviously dissatisfied with his answer, so I criticized him unceremoniously: "Look for opportunities for the soldiers to go out and exercise. Let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. This is right. It is very helpful to improve their combat effectiveness."

"But comrade commander, you put our regiment in this position." In response to my criticism, Godunov said aggrievedly: "To the north is the Mamayev Hill where the second regiment, the fourth regiment and the division headquarters are located, and to the south is A regiment of defense areas, east of the Volga River ferry, west of the Soviet Street and the flour mill defended by friendly forces, we have no chance to participate in the battle."

"Fortunately, you are still a regimental commander, and you don't know how to adapt at all. There are no enemies around you, you don't know to send troops to places where there are enemies. Go and compete with the enemy!" Hearing his complaint, I suddenly became unfamiliar. . Roared at him angrily: "I really doubt whether you are still suitable to continue your current position."

My anger may be too loud. Not only was it alarmed by Pantai Leyev and Akhromeyev, but even Kirilov, who was filling out the form in the corner, was also alarmed. He raised his head and looked surprised. Looking at me, it seems to be trying to figure out the reason for my anger.

I found myself out of shape in public, and could not help but blush. I pretended to cough twice and cleared my throat. I was considering whether I should apologize to Godunov for my anger. I accidentally thought of Mikhayev’s engineering company. They must be responsible for raising and burying landmines, because the amount of work is too large, and they must be supplemented with suitable manpower. As for the commanders and fighters of the three regiments, except for the newly added troops, almost all the remaining commanders and fighters came from the Gulag concentration camp. There must be a lot of useful talents, and they also have rich combat experience. , It is suitable. Thinking of this, I picked up the microphone again and asked Godunov kindly: "Comrade Major, I want to ask you, has anyone in your regiment worked as an engineer?"

Although Godunov didn't understand the meaning of my question, he answered honestly: "Report to the commander, there are about 30 people in the group who have experience in this area. If more people are needed, I can't do anything. ."

"Enough is enough, thirty or so people are enough." Hearing that he could really mobilize people to assist Mikhayev, I felt more at ease, and then told him: "In the evening, you Send these people over and ask them to report directly to Captain Mikhayev, the commander of the engineering company."

"Understood, I will call these people together right away." Godunov replied briefly.

For the next time, there was silence in front of the fourth group's position, and the Germans who had suffered a big loss in the night attack stayed in their position honestly and did not dare to attack us.

Since most of the work is shared for me, I have been idle all day. I ran out of the command post from time to time, stood outside the cave looking at the sky, and mumbled to myself why it was not getting dark this day. As soon as it gets dark, Mikhayev's engineering company can set off.

After anxiously waiting, finally waited until night fell. When I saw Mikhayev walk into the command post vigorously, I felt an inexplicable relief in my heart. Kirilov asked Mikhayev with a smile on his face: "Comrade Captain, are you all ready?"

"Yes, Comrade Political Commissar." Mikhayev replied in a loud voice: "The engineering company is full and ready to go into battle."

"Very well, Captain Mikhayev." I said gratifyingly: "I am very happy to see that you can maintain such a strong fighting spirit." Having said that, I changed the subject and asked, "You see three Did the regiment give you the soldiers?"

Mikhayev was taken aback for a moment, and then desperately nodded and said: "Yes, the three regiments sent us a total of 35 fighters, all of whom have rich combat experience, and many of them have participated in engineering training. They help. , I have more confidence in completing the task."

"Comrade Captain, come to me." Akhromeyev, who was standing at the table, shouted at him, "By the way, take the minefield map that I have drawn."

"Map of the minefields?" Mikhayev gave me a surprised look, then hesitantly walked towards Akhromeev. After receiving the map, he immediately looked at it carefully.

"Comrade Captain," Seeing his fascinating look, Pantaiyev passed by and stopped by his side, and asked with interest: "What do you think of this minefield distribution map?"

"How should I say, Comrade Deputy Commander." Mikhayev shook the landmine distribution map in his hand and said excitedly to Bantai Leyev: "The location of the mines in this map is really wonderful. As long as we bury the mines. After the completion, the Germans will not only leave their camp from which direction they will be blown up by these moved mines, they will be blown into blood and howling ghosts and wolves."

"Comrade Captain, do you think about how to carry out this task?" Bantai Leyev continued to ask, and at the same time kindly reminded the other party: "The key to completing this task is whether you are raising landmines or replanting landmines. In the process, they cannot be discovered by the enemy, otherwise they will be abandoned."

"I understand ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Comrade deputy commander." Mikhayev took the map between the two, pointed to it and began to explain: "I plan to divide the troops into two parts, one route to my deputy company. The leader led down the river from the embankment and lifted all the mines encountered along the road. Then they quietly circumvented behind the enemy’s position with these mines on their backs, where they must pass by the vehicle. These mines were all buried.

And I, will lead the remaining troops, after the deputy company commander completes mine clearance and detours to the enemy’s rear, I will also go down the river embankment, about fifty or eight in the minefield away from the enemy’s position. Ten meters away, he turned up from the embankment, crawling close to their barbed wire. After cutting the barbed wire through the gap, I will send ten soldiers to climb into the minefield and lift out the mines inside. These mines will be buried one after another at the exit of the enemy camp and in front of our army's position. As for the mines on the river embankment, in order to prevent accidental injuries, they must wait until the deputy company commander leads the troops back before burying them. "

"Comrade Captain, you are very comprehensive." When Bantai Leyev said this, he turned to ask us: "Is there anything else you want to ask?" Seeing that we were all shaking our heads, he straightforwardly ordered Mikhayev. "Since this is the case, you can take your troops and set off. Good luck!" As he said, he reached out to Mikhayev.
