Burning Moscow

Seeing my former subordinates reappearing in front of me, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. I couldn't help but stretched out my hands to grab his arm and shook it vigorously. At the same time, I said excitedly: "It's you, Captain Yushchenko."

Yushchenko's face also showed a knowing smile, and he replied: "Yes, comrade teacher, I didn't expect that after such a long time, we would meet again." When he said this, his eyes were from mine. The collar was swept across, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Comrade commander, congratulations on regaining the rank of general."

I took him to the table and sat down. I was surprised at his appearance. Why did the superior send my former guard over all the way? In order to find out what was going on, I ordered Major Basmanov to pour the tea and asked Yushchenko curiously: "Comrade Captain, who sent you to Mamayev Hill? "

For my question, Yushchenko looked at Kirilov and the others vigilantly, and then cautiously replied: "Comrade Commander, General Bezikov personally issued an order to send us here."

After listening to Yushchenko’s explanation, I realized that they were sent by my old friend Bezikov. At the same time, I also felt that he is now a prosperous official, and he was actually promoted from colonel to general. You must know that he was in the Central Guard Corps. Here, promotion from colonel to major general is much more difficult than combat troops.

I quickly introduced Yushchenko to Kirilov and them: "The political commissar, the deputy division commander and the chief of staff, let me introduce to you, this Captain Yushchenko from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was once my eighth guard division. From now on, the guard company commander when he was the division commander has officially become a member of our Hongqi Independent Division."

Yushchenko was when I introduced his identity to several other division commanders. He got up from his seat and stood upright on the spot. Next, when I introduced Yushchenko to the members of the division, without mentioning a single name, he saluted the opponent, and then stretched out his hands to shake the opponent's outstretched hand.

I just finished introducing them. Basmanov walked over with a tea mug grinning. I took the tea mug from him, held it in both hands, and handed it to Yushchenko. At the same time, I said, "Captain Yushchenko, I haven't had time to introduce this major to you. He is the guard battalion commander Busman Major Nov, you will be your immediate boss from now on."

After I finished speaking, Basmanov explained to me with a smile on his face: "Comrade commander. When the captain came just now, we had already introduced ourselves." But after saying this, he still looked at Yuxian. Ke said politely: “Comrade Captain, let’s meet again. I’m Major Basmanov, the battalion commander of the Red Flag Independent Division Guard Battalion. You are welcome to the Independent Division.” He said, extending his hand to Yushchenko. go with.

Yushchenko hurriedly put the tea mug in his hand on the table, first raised his hand to salute Basmanov, and then stretched out his hands to hold the opponent's hand. At the same time, he said politely: "Hello, Comrade Major."

After the mutual introductions were over, Yushchenko suddenly said to me: "Comrade Commander, before coming this time, General Bezikov specially asked me to bring you a gift."

"Gift. What gift?" Although Bezikov and I had a good relationship and had lived and died together, they never seemed to give each other gifts. Upon hearing Captain Yushchenko’s words, I couldn’t help asking curiously, “Comrade Captain, I don’t know what gift General Bezikov asked you to bring?”

Yushchenko did not speak, but took off a spear behind his back, held it in both hands, and handed it to me, and said respectfully: "Comrade Commander. General Bezikov knows that you like this new weapon. , And your original gun was lost when Liuban broke through. So I specifically asked me to bring you another one."

I excitedly took over the assault rifle in Yushchenko's hand, which is the famous ak47 assault rifle in later generations. I specifically checked the number on the gun. It was actually number 77. You must know that the number seven is the most auspicious number in Russia. Bezikov did not know how much trouble he had to get this assault rifle. It was an old friend who actually gave me such a caring gift.

"Comrade Commander, what kind of gun is this?" Among the surrounding people, except for Kirilov, who is a political worker, everyone is a real soldier. When they see this new weapon that has never been seen before, they can't help but The eyes lit up. Akhromeyev had seen this assault rifle when he was in the Volkhov Front before, and he was fairly calm. When Pantai Leyev saw this gun, he was even more delighted. He snatched the new assault rifle from my hand, looked up and down, and asked curiously: "When was this developed? Why have I never seen the new gun that came out?"

When I saw the assault rifle handed to me by Yushchenko, I was excited for a moment, but then I thought of this kind of weapon that surpassed this era. Once it is captured by the Germans on the battlefield, with their strong military production capacity, it will be impossible. How long will it take to imitate this new rifle and equip it with a large number of troops, then for the Soviet army, it will be an unimaginable disaster. So after hearing about Bantai Leyev’s question, I said anxiously: "Comrade Deputy Commander, due to the advent of this gun, it may be a major advancement in the history of the development of light weapons in the world, so its development is absolutely confidential. A batch was produced during the defense of Moscow, but in order to prevent leaks, only a few troops were equipped."

After I said this to Pantai Leyev, I asked Yushchenko again: "Captain, how many of these assault rifles have you brought with you this time?"

"Assault rifle?!" When Yushchenko heard my question, he was taken aback, and then he understood that what I was talking about was the new rifle he had just handed me, and quickly replied: "Report to the commander, we are here this time. There are 121 people, and each has a new rifle, each with ten magazines."

I did a mental calculation, one magazine can hold 30 rounds, and ten magazines are 300 rounds. Since the bullets used by these assault rifles do not match the bullets we are using now, once the bullets are out, these guns can only be used as fire sticks.

Obviously Pantai Leyev didn't notice my strangeness, and he asked me excitedly: "Comrade Commander, do you know the characteristics of this gun. What are its technical parameters?"

I couldn’t bear the interest of sweeping Pantai Leyev, so I told him what I knew: “Compared with the current rifles, this assault rifle has a shorter body and a shorter range. The shooting distance is kept at 300 meters, which is more suitable. In close-range assault combat. For example, when we compete with the Germans in a building, this kind of gun can be used for great purposes.

The assault rifle uses the air-guided automatic principle. The air-pipe is located above the barrel, and the piston pushes the action. Rotary locking bolt machine. A special short barrel of 7.62mm caliber is produced. The arc-shaped magazine can hold 30 rounds. The safety/speed machine is on the right side of the receiver. Semi-automatic or fully automatic firing methods can be selected. The pull handle is located on the right side of the receiver. The insurance settings are: insurance, full bullets, and semi-automatic.

When our commanders are charging, they often pull out all the bullets in order to overcome their own fears by pulling the speed machine to the end, holding the trigger and holding on to it. The assault rifle will only fire one shot, which greatly saves bullets and improves safety. Its bolt action is reliable. Even during continuous shooting or when foreign objects such as dust enter the gun, its mechanical structure can still ensure continued work. "

After listening to my introduction, Pantai Leyev said in a pretentious voice: "I didn't expect this gun to be so powerful. I really want to try the actual combat effect right away?"

When I waited for Pantai Leyev to finish speaking, I poured cold water on him: "Comrade deputy commander, it is a pity that it is dark now, otherwise you can really let you try the gun."

Unexpectedly, Basmanov said abruptly: "Comrade Teacher, there will be a moon tonight. In addition, there was a heavy snowfall in the evening and a layer of ground was laid. Now the light outside is very good. It will not affect it at all. To the effect of a test shot."

After listening to Basmanov’s words, I glared at him fiercely, and I wished to lift his foot and kick him while cursing inwardly: This idiot, don’t you see that I was deliberately shitting, just don’t want Pantailai Yev went to test the gun. Actually sings against me.

Basmanov also saw the displeased look on my face, but he didn't know what he had done wrong. Shut your mouth quickly and stood in front of us with an innocent look. And Pantai Leyev heard that the light outside was good. He quickly pulled Basmanov and was about to go out.

I thought Kirilov would come out to stop Pantaiyev’s hasty actions, but I didn’t expect to look back and found that Kirilov was sitting at the table blankly, seeming not to notice Bantaiyev at all. What to do. In this case, I couldn't scan the face of the deputy commander in public, so I had to bite the bullet and let Basmanov pay Pantai Lev to test the gun. At the same time, I also told Yushchenko: "Comrade Captain, you go out with Major Basmanov. Let him arrange a place for you with the commanders of the special guard company."

Seeing that Pantai Leyev was about to go out to test the gun, even Akhromeyev could not sit still. He offered to me: "Comrade Commander, although I have seen this new type of gun a long time ago, I have never I haven't used it. Will you allow me and the deputy commander to try the gun together?" I did not speak, but nodded in agreement.

Seeing the figures of Bantai Leyev, Akhromeyev, Basmanov and Yushchenko disappearing outside the door, Kirilov suddenly called my military rank and asked: "Comrade Commander , Tell me, what does the superior send us a special guard company like this?"

Regarding the guard company sent by the superior, and the company commander who led the team was my former subordinate, so after hearing Kirilov’s question, he naturally said: "Comrade political comrade, is this still necessary? Of course? It is to protect the safety of the division."

Unexpectedly, Kirilov sneered twice and said: "Comrade Oshanina, do you really think they are just here to protect your safety? You know, they are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, except for your protection. Besides being safe, I must have accepted the task of monitoring you."

Kirilov's shocking words immediately shocked me into a cold sweat. In these two months of brutal fighting, the independent division's troops were close to the brink of being lighted up several times, and I had to put my guard battalion into battle many times. I thought that the guard company sent to me by my superiors was to strengthen the guards of the independent division, but I didn't expect it was sent to monitor me later.

Sitting in my seat, my strength seemed to be exhausted, and at this moment I felt chills. Unexpectedly, I tried so hard to defend the northern gate of Stalingrad, but the superior still didn't trust me, and sent troops from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to monitor me. In order not to arouse my suspicion, they even sent my former guard company commander.

I sat in my seat and stayed for a long time. Only after waking up, I lowered my throat and asked Kirilov in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Committee, who do you think they will be sent?"

Kirilov did not answer this question immediately, but instead asked, "Comrade Oshanina. Please tell me first, who is General Bezikov that Captain Yushchenko is talking about?"

"General Bezikov is the commander of the Central Guard Corps. I met when I went to the Kremlin to participate in a military meeting." I gave a brief account of how I met Bezikov. When it comes to top secret, I will naturally ignore it. It just said vaguely that we were escorting important people back to the city when we encountered the German squad that had circled behind our army. Fortunately, Bezikov could drive, which led us to escape the danger successfully.

After listening to what I said, Kirilov thought for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "Comrade Oshanina, let's analyze who is the most likely. The special guard company is coming. It's He. Lu Xiaofu relayed to you through Basmanov that although his rank is high, he failed to mobilize the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs casually. General Zhukov is currently the deputy commander in command, but he can mobilize the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you Regarding his relationship, I believe he will not send someone to monitor you. Just now, the only thing left is..." At this point, he didn't go any further, just stretched out a finger and pointed upwards.

This action of him. I immediately understood, knowing that he was talking about the Supreme Commander himself. At this moment, I suddenly remembered the plot in the movie I had seen before: before the counterattack under Stalingrad, one day Stalin was working in his office. Suddenly a subordinate named Laputin ran in to give him a small report, and solemnly reported: "Comrade Stalin, according to some materials provided by the people arranged by Zhukov, according to reliable sources, Zhukov put you in Moscow. The victory in the battle is said to be his own credit. There are signs that he has become defiant and dare to openly accuse you of your mistakes."

After Stalin heard this report at that time. After a long silence, it might be because of Zhukov's unreplaced status. Let Laputin keep this matter secret for the time being. However, in this way, a thorn was planted in his heart, so that when implementing the "Operation Uranus" plan, he would take Zhukov who made the plan far away, and would not let him participate in the command of Stalinger this time. The big counterattack under Le city.

When I remembered this incident, I began to think about whether I had anything that would easily arouse the suspicion of my superiors. I really didn’t want to know it. I was really taken aback when I thought about it. For example, without asking for instructions, surrendered German officers and soldiers were left in the army; "Plan; Ignoring the orders of the Supreme Command, not only did not censor those commanders who had been captured by the Germans, but also instigated the two Eastern Battalion troops on their own terms. Either one of these can send me to a military court and even lose my life.

Thinking of these things I have done before, I feel a little confused. I looked at Kirilov in front of me and asked nervously: "Comrade Political Commissar, what should I do from now on?"

Kirilov has more experience in this area than I am. Seeing that I was so flustered, he quickly got up and walked to my side, raised his hand and gently patted my shoulder, comforting me: "Comrade Oshanina, don’t worry. Since Captain Yushchenko is your former subordinate, I believe he will not casually report information that is not conducive to you. Anyway, you have to remember that if you encounter any major event in the future, don’t make claims, but more Ask for instructions and report more, and leave all the troubles to your superiors to resolve."

What Kirilov was talking about was precisely the wise and wise protection strategy adopted by commanders who were temporarily promoted to important positions after the Great Purge. Regardless of the size of the matter, they will always ask their superiors for instructions. Although they did this to protect themselves, after the outbreak of the war, their communication with their superiors was interrupted. Faced with the surging enemy, these uninspiring commanders were helpless, only knowing the soldiers who drove them. Go to die.

We were really talking, and suddenly heard the laughter of Bantaiyev and Akhromeyev coming from the door. It seemed that they had come back from a test shot. Kirilov quickly lowered his voice and said to me: "Comrade Oshanina, you and I know what we said just now. Don’t let others know about it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because you see Bantai Lai. Yefu and the others have already walked into the headquarters. I did not speak, but nodded silently, indicating that I knew it.

Pantai Leyev came to me quickly, put the used assault rifle on the table, and said excitedly: "Comrade Commander, this gun is really great. If we can arm a regiment, then In street fighting with the Germans, we can have an absolute advantage."

I saw Captain Yushchenko standing behind them. Although there was a thorn in my heart, I asked him politely: "Captain Yushchenko, has Major Basmanov arranged your station? "

Yushchenko hurriedly stepped forward and replied loudly: "Report to the teacher, everything is arranged."

I nodded, and then said to him, "Comrade Captain, you must be exhausted after driving so many days in a row. Now that the major has arranged your accommodation, you should go back and rest early." To be continued)
