Burning Moscow

Under the guidance of the lieutenant, I came to a tent next to me. ~~щww~suimеng~lā As soon as I walked into the tent, I saw the phone headset resting on an ammunition box. The two soldiers sitting in the tent saw me entering the door and quickly stood up and saluted me.

I nodded at them, then put the earphones to my ears, and heard Vatutin's voice inside, and hurriedly said: "Hello, Comrade General. You are calling at this time. Do you have any instructions? "

Unexpectedly, Vatutin suddenly asked in a serious tone: "Are there anyone else by your side?"

"Yes, Comrade General." I glanced inside the tent, and then replied, "There is also a lieutenant and two soldiers, both of which are communication soldiers."

"Let them avoid it." Vatutin said in an unquestionable tone: "We cannot let them hear what we are going to talk about next."

I covered the microphone, turned my head and glanced at the lieutenant and his men in the tent, and hesitated what to say to them. However, the lieutenant was obviously very eye-sighted. Seeing my behavior, he immediately waved to his men, and then the three of them left the tent together.

When I was the only one left in the tent, I immediately said to Vatutin: "Comrade General, now I am the only one left in the tent. If you have any important things, please tell me."

"Comrade Oshanina, first of all, I would like to congratulate you. Congratulations to your group army, after successfully leading the liberation of Belgorod and Kharkov, successfully liberating Ijum and achieving the main force of the Southwest Front. The meeting of the teachers." Vatutin did not directly say what it was, but first praised me, and then said: "Comrade Stalin was very happy after hearing about the results you have achieved. He offered to give all the commanders , The regiment commander, and other commanders and political staff will be rewarded. At the same time, commanders at the level of your group army will all be awarded the First Class Patriotic War Medal."

Since it is not the first time that I have won the medal, I feel very happy in my heart, but it is not ecstasy. Therefore, after Vatutin has finished speaking, I can ask in a calm tone: "Comrade General, may I ask you what is important? Something?"

"That's it, Comrade Oshaninna." Hearing my question, Vatutin hesitated and said: "Comrade Stalin called me specifically and asked me to ask for your opinion and see what your next step is. How did you plan it."

When I heard him say this, my heart sank, and my heart said it's coming again. Do I have to go to work somewhere? I took a deep breath and tried to ask in a calm tone: "Comrade General, I don't know how the Supreme Commander himself plans to arrange me?"

"Two options. One is to stay in the army. After Izyum took a short break, the whole army marched in the direction of Priluki, ready to participate in the battle to liberate Kiev." Vatutin's tone became stable again: "The second is to go to work in a local area. According to Comrade Stalin’s suggestion, if you go to work in a local area, you may still have some say in making decisions in the house next to the Red Square after a few years. . Or after the liberation of Ukraine, you will work in Kiev as Comrade Khrushchev’s deputy."

Vatutin’s words made my heart beat faster and began to weigh the power. After a few years, I will have a certain right to speak on important matters, that is, I will have the opportunity to enter the highest-level committee in the future and become the most powerful. One of ten people. This proposal made my original idea of ​​staying in the army inevitably shaken.

"Comrade Oshaninna, what do you think?" Vatutin asked on the phone: "If you make up your mind, I can reply to Comrade Stalin immediately."

"Comrade General, please... please wait a little longer and let me think about it." Hearing Vatutin's urging, I replied in a flustered manner: "This matter is of great importance. I have to think about it again."

"I'll give you two minutes." Vatutin said flatly: "In two minutes, you will give me a final answer, because Comrade Stalin is still waiting for my answer."

I quickly thought about the advantages and disadvantages of staying in the front and working in the back. If I said ten minutes ago, I had never considered working in the past. But this "painting pie" thrown by Vatutin makes I became hesitant.

"Two minutes are here," I didn't have an accurate answer in my heart when Vatutin's voice came through the receiver again. Just listen to him then ask: "How about it, have you considered it?"

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that I had been trying hard to avoid going to work in the back from the time I traveled into this world. Because of the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, some of my abnormal behaviors may not be easy to be noticed on the battlefield. But if you go to the rear organs and deal with those old oilers every day, you may soon be caught by them. Found flaws. Thinking of this, I decisively said to Vatutin: "Comrade General, I'm thinking about it!"

"Then your decision?" Vatutin asked tentatively.

"I decided to stay on the frontline and stay with my fighters~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In order to prevent Vatutin from getting off the stage, I added: "I have been on the frontline for two years and I have adapted to it. In my life, if I were transferred to the rear at this time, I guess it might take a long time for me to find a way to adapt to that environment. Instead of that, I might as well stay on the front line, stay with my fighters, and think about how to win more battles. "

After I finished speaking, I immediately held my breath and listened quietly to Vatutin's reaction. Unexpectedly, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "Oshanina, I know that you will not go back to work. Your departure is a huge loss for our entire Voronezh Front. ."

Although I know that Vatutin’s evaluation of me is a bit exaggerated, but at the same time I understand that he said this in the hope that I can continue to be the commander of the Sixth Guards Army, so that when conducting any battle, I have at least one in my hand. The forces that come out. I paused for a while, and then said: "Comrade General, after our Sixth Guards Army continued the offensive in Belgorod, Kharkov, and Ijum, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the ammunition was also consumed. Exhausted, I don’t know when you can supplement us?"

"At present, all units are facing the same situation as yours. It may be difficult to get supplements in time." Perhaps to ease my heart, he went on to say: "However, I will give priority to the supplement of your group army. Considered." (To be continued.)
