Burning Moscow

When the political commissar Xia Ping appeared in the German army grabbing supplies, he and Morozov left the command post and organized troops outside to counter the German impact. Soon after the battle, he reappeared at the command post. He turned sideways and rushed out the door and said loudly, "Come in, just put things on the table."

As soon as his words fell, the three soldiers walked into the door. They took turns putting the cloth bags they were holding on the table, then stepped back and stood neatly in a row by the wall, waiting for Xia Ping The next step instructions.

Xia Ping saw that all the bags in the soldiers' hands were on the table, and waved his hand to indicate that they could leave. The three soldiers raised their hands to salute us, then turned and walked out of the headquarters.

Gaidar stared at the cloth bag placed on the table and asked Xia Ping strangely: "I said, Comrade Political Commissar, what is this?"

Xia Ping walked to the table and took out the things in the bag one after the other. I saw the bread, canned meat, coffee and other things he put on the table in turn. I already knew what Xia Ping brought. So he took Gaidar's words and replied: "This is the German rations for individual soldiers." Then I asked Xia Ping, "Comrade political comrade, this is the captured German airdrop materials, right?"

"Yes, comrade commander." After Xia Ping gave me an affirmative answer, he said with a look of envy: "I didn't expect that the Germans' individual rations are so much richer than ours."

"Don't say it, the Germans' individual rations are quite plentiful," Gaidar added on the side: "The last time the first and third regiments followed their commanders northward, they captured a lot of German troops in the city of Khonkayi. Supplies. After you withdrew back, Lieutenant Colonel Ke Sijia, the commander of the third regiment, sent a lot of them to us."

"In addition to food and medicine, there are also a large number of weapons and ammunition." Xia Ping said triumphantly: "This way. Our regiment's German equipment does not have to worry about lack of ammunition."

"Comrade Teacher," Gaidar asked respectfully, "We have seized a lot of materials this time. Do we need to send some of them to the teacher?"

I waved my hand and declined his kindness: "Comrade lieutenant colonel, your regiment has not been replenished for so long. The ammunition and materials are severely insufficient. Leave all the materials seized today. Wait for you to seize the German supplies the next day. , It’s not too late to give it to us."

After leaving the command post of the fourth regiment, under the protection of Yushchenko and the others, I followed the newly dug traffic trenches to the position of the regiment. I plan to see how Sergeikov and their seizures are.

As soon as we entered a group of positions, we heard the scream of shells piercing the air, and then two shells fell on our left front and exploded, splashing mud on us. Seeing this, Yushchenko pulled my sleeves. Remind me loudly: "Comrade Commander, the enemy has begun to shell here. We need to find a place to hide immediately."

"Okay, Comrade Captain." Victory in the Battle of Stalingrad is on the horizon. I don't want to be killed by German shelling at this time, so I shouted at Yushchenko loudly: "Go find a blasthole and hide it." "

Yushchenko straightened up, looked around, then shouted: "Follow me!" Then he ran out of the trenches. Bent over and ran away. A few other soldiers and I also followed his example, crawling out of this waist-long traffic trench amid the rumble of cannons. Follow him and ran forward.

After running far, Yushchenko stopped, turned around and waved at me desperately, shouting anxiously: "Comrade Commander, come here, there is an anti-cannon bunker." When I ran into him. . He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the anti-cannon bunker.

Five or six soldiers have been squeezed into the bunker. As soon as our group came in again, this small bunker became crowded. We can hardly turn around standing still. Yushchenko stood by my side and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, comrade teacher, for the sake of safety, I can only apologize for staying here for a while."

"Comrade Captain, don't mind." After I responded with a smile, I turned my head and asked an elderly soldier next to him: "Hey, Comrade soldier, how long does German shelling usually last?"

After taking a look at my collar, the soldier replied loudly, "I'm sorry, Comrade General, please forgive me. It's too crowded here to raise my hand to salute you."

"It's okay, Comrade Soldier." In this special environment, I didn't care whether he saluted me or not. Instead, I asked: "You haven't answered my question."

The soldier frowned and thought for a moment and said: "The Germans bombard our positions every day, but the number of bombardments per day is decreasing. I guess it won't be long before the enemy's bombardment will stop."

"Comrade General, do you say that we will not be killed by German shells?" Before I expressed my gratitude to the soldier, a trembling voice suddenly came from behind me. I turned my head laboriously to look back and found that a young recruit in civilian clothing turned out to be a young recruit. Although he was holding a gun in his hand, his body was trembling constantly, as if he was frightened by the shelling outside.

"What a coward," the soldier who just answered my question glared at the recruit and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Comrade General, you don't know, this coward has not stopped since our area was shelled by the Germans. Shuddered."

"No, comrade soldier, we will not be killed by German shells." I comforted the recruit. "The Germans have been surrounded by our regiments. The shelling they are now carrying out is nothing more than a dying struggle." My words obviously didn't help. The young recruit squeezed past me silently. , Quickly walked out of the gun shelter. "Hey, you coward, where are you going?" The old soldier cursed loudly at the back of the recruit: "You don't want to go to the Germans, do you?"

Yushchenko heard the warrior's scolding and said to me in a low voice: "Comrade commander, let me go out and have a look." Seeing me nodding his head in agreement, he walked out with another guard soldier.

Not long after they walked out, I heard a clear gunshot from outside.

Yushchenko, who had just been chased out, came back soon. He walked back dejected, with an extra gun in his hand. It was the gun that the recruit was holding and reported to me bitterly: "Comrade Commander, the recruit committed suicide."

"Coward, really a coward." The veteran scolded angrily after seeing the rifle in Yushchenko's hand. Reported to me: "Comrade General, this recruit has just joined the army yesterday and has no combat experience. He may have been frightened by the enemy's artillery fire."

I nodded, and then turned around and told Yushchenko: "Comrade Captain, we will leave two soldiers later. Find a place to bury the body of the recruit."

After the shelling was over, I took Yushchenko to the regiment command post of a regiment. Here, I not only met Lieutenant Colonel Sergeikov and Political Commissar Oberstein, but also Bantai Leyev who was supervising the war here. After I told them about the suicide of the new soldiers, Oberstein took over the topic and said, "Comrade commander. Since we went in to replenish a lot of soldiers and we didn’t have time to train, when faced with the enemy’s shelling, many new soldiers The soldiers will panic."

"Lieutenant Colonel Sederikov, I don’t understand.” After listening to Oberstein’s explanation, I turned to look at Sederikov and asked: “Why did the Fourth Regiment not be shelled by the enemy, and you But do you suffer from enemy shelling every day?"

Sergeikov smiled bitterly and replied: "Comrade commander, is this still necessary? Of course it is related to the second battalion of the division's artillery. Because of their accurate artillery fire, the Germans were frightened, so they focused on the only artillery fire. Daily shelling of the defense areas of our regiment, in an attempt to wipe out all the artillery battalions of Captain Kurishenko."

"But please don't worry, comrade commander," Oberstein, who was standing next to me, told me confidently: "Judging from the scale and time of the German shelling in the past two days, their shells are seriously insufficient. If it weren't for today, we captured it. Their airdrop field robbed an absolute majority of their airdrop materials, and I believe they will not launch shelling against us."

I think there is something in Oberstein's words. He specifically asked: "Committee Oberstein, if I am not immediately wrong. Are you saying that the enemy's shells are almost exhausted?"

Oberstein nodded and answered me with a smile: "Exactly correct. Comrade commander. As long as we continue to capture the German airdrop materials as we do now, their ammunition will soon be exhausted. We are in the next attack. The resistance will be reduced a lot."

"I agree with Oberstein's political commissar." Bantai Leyev said in agreement: "From what I have observed today, if we hadn't taken the initiative to seize the enemy's airdrop field and robbed them of a large amount of airdrop materials, I believe The enemy will not rush over the wall and bombard a regiment of defense areas."

Hearing what Pantai Leyev said, my mood became happy. If he did not analyze the error, the enemy’s ammunition resources would be exhausted. As long as we firmly control the enemy’s airdrop field, they will soon You won’t even be able to eat. As long as we trap them for a week, when it is estimated that the absolute majority of the German troops will not even have the strength to hold weapons, our troops can directly rush to capture the prisoners.

Thinking of this, I said to Pantai Leyev: "Comrade Deputy Commander, you will stay at the front during this period of time, and you will be in charge of commanding the first and fourth regiments to seize airdrop materials. You must find ways to cut off the enemy's air supply. "

After returning to the division headquarters, I took the initiative to call Cui Kefu and reported to him that a regiment of four regiments had seized two German airdrop supply points.

After hearing this, Cui Koff looked particularly happy. He repeatedly greeted him on the phone, and then said: "Comrade Oshanina, although according to our reconnaissance, the enemy’s airdrop point in Stalingrad is no less than within the range of our army. Ten locations, but you succeeded in capturing two airdrop points, which seriously affected the enemy’s supply. It’s really amazing. I’ll inform the entire army of this matter and let all the troops learn from you. We must do our best The ground seized the remaining airdrop field so that the Germans had no bullets in their guns, no food in their stomachs, and no medicines for the wounded. It depends on how they persist."

I didn't say anything about Cui Kefu's compliment, but smirked. After all, it is a rare thing to get the commander's compliment. Hearing that Cui Kefu was still talking non-stop, I don’t know how long it would take to finish it. I stood for most of the day and both legs were too tired, so I sat in my seat. Come down.

Unexpectedly, just sitting down, Cui Koff suddenly said: "By the way, Comrade Oshanina, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. The suggestion you made in the morning, I relayed it to General Shumilov, and he listened to it. Then he said yes, so his troops adopted the new tactics you proposed in today's battle."

"Really?!" Hearing Cui Kefu's words, I was so excited that I almost jumped out of my seat.

"Yes, starting from nine o'clock in the morning, the commanders of the 64th Army continued to attack the German forces that were standing in the Voroshilov district. Although they paid a lot of money, they succeeded in capturing two blocks. "Cui Koff didn't seem to notice my anomaly, and he continued to speak on his own: "General Shumilov said, if you didn't fight according to the tactics you proposed, it is estimated that today is heavy casualties and nothing."

I heard that Shumilov’s 64th Army took two blocks after paying huge casualties. I felt a little more at ease. If they still get nothing despite the heavy casualties, I guess my ability will be better. Being questioned by my superiors will have a negative impact on my future.

I took a deep breath~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to stabilize my emotions, and then asked: "Comrade Commander, I don’t know what the 57th Army’s counterattack against Hot’s 4th Armored Army has achieved. effect?"

"Oh, you just don't ask about this, and I'm planning to tell you." Cui Kefu suddenly looked a bit like a rapportant old lady today, and his words became nagging. "Our 57th Army belongs to the Southwest Front Army. With the cooperation of the 21st Army, the 5th Tank Army and the 2nd Aviation Army, they counterattacked the Germans outside the encirclement. After a day of fighting, Hult’s Armored Army had been repelled 30 kilometers by them."

This news made me secretly happy. When Cui Kefu finished speaking, I immediately asked, "Comrade Commander, if the German reinforcements are repelled, when will our counterattack begin?"

Cui Koff was silent for a moment and replied: "We will launch the final attack on Paulus's forces on the night of December 25." (to be continued)
