Burning Moscow

Except for the tank units hidden on both sides of the road, the anti-tank artillery battalion in the tractor factory area, regardless of the enemy's violent artillery fire suppression, opened fire on the German tanks that were chaotic on the street. ▲↑top▲↑point▲↑small▲↑say, ww∽︾m

The remaining tanks were blocked in the street due to chaos and became the targets of our army's tankers and anti-tank artillery. More and more tanks were hit and fired. The enemy's tank driver hurriedly got out of the smokey body and ran in the direction of the coming. Those infantrymen who got out of the car early and accompanied the tank were hit by shrapnel produced by falling artillery shells or smashed ammunition inside the car when trying to bypass the tank. After a while, the German tank fell near the tank. A corpse.

Several tanks that had managed to escape the blow, finally turned their heads on the street full of burning tank wreckage, and rushed toward the direction they came. Some soldiers who were close by were immediately knocked down by the tank and run under the track because they were too late to dodge. The soldiers behind hurried to the side of the road to make way for the mad tank.

The tanks fled to the back of the attacking queue, and only stopped after meeting with the armored trucks parked behind. The infantry who lost the cover of the tank cautiously bypassed the burning tank, bent over and proceeded cautiously along the street. After walking less than a hundred meters, a fire suddenly lit up among the leading soldiers. Several soldiers fell to the ground in the smoke of gunpowder. It seemed that they had stepped on landmines.

Seeing that the leading soldier in front stepped on the mine, the soldiers following hurriedly fell to the ground. After a while, a few brave soldiers got up and tremblingly went up to rescue the fallen comrades. German infantrymen walking ahead because of the mines on the street. Had to stop the pace of progress. But the soldiers behind can't see it. Still continuously bypassing the burning tanks, pouring forward.

Seeing the more and more German soldiers gathering on the street, I couldn’t help but look towards the entrance of the tractor factory. The distance between the two places was more than 800 meters. Even the firepower points hidden under the tanks in front of the factory. All fired, and only a few soldiers could be defeated. The remaining people would hide in the ruins on the left and right of the street because of their vigilance, and the next battle would not be easy to fight. Thought of this. I couldn’t help but admire Krylov a bit more. He probably thought that after the enemy’s tank was repelled, the infantry would be trapped by the mines laid by our army. When the enemy gathered on the street, Use the rockets on the east bank of the Volga River to cover this area with artillery fire, so that it can inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

As soon as I thought of the planned artillery coverage against the enemy, the peculiar roar of rockets came from the sky, and then dozens of rockets with long flame tails plunged into the dense streets of the German army. on. The place crowded just now turned into a sea of ​​flames. The flames rose to a height of seven or eight meters, from east to west. A wall of fire was formed. The blast of air threw the wreckage of German tanks and soldiers high into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. It was just the wreckage of tanks and soldiers when it was thrown up, and when it fell, it turned into dilapidated scrap iron parts and broken limbs.

When the gunpowder dissipated, I looked around the street. Except for the tanks and armored vehicles parked at the west entrance where the German army came, and the middle section and east exit, there was almost no living creatures in sight. The wreckage of the tanks that had been destroyed almost all turned into scattered parts at this moment, and the densely packed craters of various sizes were filled with incomplete German corpses.

Cui Kefu couldn't help grinning as he saw such a great result in a salvo of our army's rocket launchers. He touched me with his elbow and said excitedly: "Oshanina, have you seen it? One volley of our artillery almost killed thousands of German soldiers. Just come like this twice, the Germans This infantry division will be completely maimed by me."

When I was about to say a few words, I suddenly heard someone downstairs calling me loudly. Following the sound, I walked to the broken staircase, bent down and looked down. Seeing that it was my guard battalion commander Basmanov, I quickly asked, "Comrade Captain, what's the matter?"

Basmanov raised his head and yelled at me: "Comrade commander, the military commissar of the group army has something to ask you and Comrade commander, so you can go home immediately."

When I turned my head and just wanted to relay what Basmanov had said to Cuikov, I found that he was standing not far from me. It was obvious that he had heard what Basmanov had said. "Damn, what's going to happen at this time?" Cui Kefu mumbled, and after raising the telescope and looking into the distance, he said to me somewhat unwillingly: "Let's go, let's go back to the headquarters and have a look. What happened?"

Seeing that Cui Kefu and I were about to go downstairs, several guards who were on guard downstairs rushed over to help us descend from the broken stairs to the ground with difficulty.

As soon as we walked into the headquarters, Cui Kefu couldn't wait to shout at Gurov who was sitting at the table: "Hey, I said, Comrade Military Commissioner, is there anything important that you call me back in such a hurry?"

As Gurov stuffed a telegram into Trikov’s hands, he asked curiously: "Comrade Commander, I just heard the noise from outside that the German army attacking the tractor factory was under fire from us. Is it intercepted?"

Cuikov took the telegram to his eyes and nodded while watching: "When the enemy's tank troops advanced to the area where Colonel Bere and their ambush were, they were hit by our tanks and anti-tank guns in the factory, and they fell into chaos. The infantry who lost the cover of the tank were blocked by the minefields we arranged. When they gathered more and more, our rocket group fired a salvo and wiped out all the thousands of Germans on the street. "Speaking of this, he paused suddenly, and a moment later said in surprise: "What, Commander Yeremenko is coming to the city?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander." When Gurov learned of the results our army had achieved, a little smile appeared on his face. Hearing Cui Kefu's question, his expression suddenly became serious, and the interface said: "Yes, neither Knowing what General Yeleomyenko thinks, the situation in the city is so dangerous. As the commander of the front army, he does not stay in the east bank to command the troops. But he wants to take risks in the city."

"Comrade Military Commissioner. You have to find a way to stop him." Cui Kefu said with a serious expression: "There is a pot of porridge everywhere in the city. Many places are the main points of repeated battles between the enemy and us. Maybe a minute ago, it was in our army. It was captured by the enemy again a minute later. We can’t let Comrade Yelyomenko go to the city to take risks. As the highest commander of the front army, he has no right to leave his command post.”

Gurov sighed and said regretfully: "It's too late, Comrade Commander. After receiving the telegram, I sent a telegram back to the front army headquarters to briefly introduce the situation in the city. I implore General Yeleomenko to cancel. For this trip. Comrade Khrushchev, the military commissar of the Front Army, said that General Yelyomyenko had left after sending the telegram. He came to the city this time, except for inspecting us. Outside of the defensive positions, I also specially came to listen to our report on the battle situation in the past two days."

"If you want to find a way to stop him, for the sake of his safety, he must not be allowed to come to our headquarters." Cui Kefu said here, after looking around for a while, he asked curiously: "If Lujiefu and the others divisions Where's the first-level commander?"

When I first walked in, I felt that the headquarters was different from when we went out. But after listening to Cuikov and Gurov talking, he didn't find the headquarters that was crowded. At this moment, there were only a few radio operators and Gurov left.

"The soldiers dug a few new shelters not far away, and Chief of Staff Krylov took their new command post." After briefly explaining the reason for the lack of people in the command post, Gurov talked about the topic again. It touched on Yelyomenko's body: "Comrade Commander, do you have any good way to prevent General Yelyomenko from coming to our headquarters?"

"There is a way." After Cui Kefu said this, he turned his head and said to me suddenly: "Comrade Oshanina, this matter is left to you."

"Give it to me?" After hearing what Cui Kefu said, I asked in a flustered manner: "Comrade Commander, what should I do to prevent Commander Yeliao Menko from coming here?"

"It's very simple." Cui Kefu had a good idea of ​​how to deal with Yeliomenko, so he said to me calmly: "You represent the leader of our group army to the dock to pick up Commander Yeliomenko. After receiving someone, you will take him. Bring it to your division headquarters. As for the report, you have stayed in the headquarters for the past two days anyway, and you are not unfamiliar with the battle.” When he said that, he went to the table and picked up a stack of papers on the table. , Looked it over and handed it to me, "This is a detailed report. You can read it to Commander Ye Leomenko in your headquarters."

These two days staying in the headquarters of Cuikov are the two days and two nights I was most frightened after arriving in Stalingrad. Now I finally have a good opportunity to leave this ghost place. I will not waste it, so I hurried. He promised: "Please rest assured, Comrade Commander, I promise to complete the task." After speaking, he stretched out his hands to take the battle report handed over by Cui Kefu, and carefully put it in his briefcase.

Cui Kefu waited for me to put the documents in the briefcase, and then asked with concern: "Comrade Oshanina, the road from here to the pier is not safe. Do you need me to send a few soldiers to **** you?"

"No need, Comrade Commander." I thought of the Basmanov who had just called us. I saw that except for the dirty clothes on his body, his whole body was unscathed. It is estimated that the guard platoon I brought is still left. A few people were enough to protect my safety on the road, so they tactfully rejected Cui Kefu’s kindness: "Now the fighting here is fierce. Every soldier is precious. There is no need to take an important position in order to protect my safety. Deploy personnel." But to make him and Gurov feel at ease, I explained the reason, "My guard, Battalion Commander, Captain Basmanov is outside. With him to protect me, safety on the road can basically be guaranteed. ."

"Since this is the case, then you should hurry up." After Cui Kefu finished speaking, he couldn't help but exclaimed with concern: "You must pay attention to your own safety and don't make any accidents."

I nodded, raised my hand and paid a military salute to him and Gurov, then turned and stepped onto the steps and walked out of the command post. Basmanov squatted in a traffic trench not far from the headquarters. Seeing me coming out of the headquarters, he immediately greeted me and asked nervously, "Comrade Commander, where shall we go next?"

"Go to the wharf~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I simply said.

"What, go to the pier?" Basmanov asked inexplicably, "What are we going to do at the pier at this time?"

I turned my head and looked at the soldiers walking around. I didn’t want to reveal the orders of our trip casually, so I stubbornly said to Basmanov: "Comrade Captain, don’t you know the confidentiality regulations? Can the lower-level commander ask the higher-level commander about what task to perform?" Seeing him lowered his head in shame, I asked in a slow tone, "How many people are left in the guard platoon, let them go with me? ."

"Six," Basmanov hurriedly replied, "There are still six people left, including me. If you feel that there is not enough manpower, I will go to Major Gladshev and borrow a few more."

"No need," I hurriedly waved my hand to stop him, and then ordered: "Take your soldiers and follow me!" (To be continued...)
