Burning Moscow

After Morgan, Marshall also stepped forward and held my hand and said sincerely: "General Oshanina, what I want to say is the same as Sir Morgan. I am also very grateful that you are our ally and not an enemy, otherwise ours The moment the landing troops set foot on the beach, they will face a one-sided massacre. On behalf of the officers and soldiers who have survived this, I thank you!" At this point, he let go of my hand, took a step back, and raised his hand. A solemn military salute was paid to me.

As soon as I finished paying the ceremony, Button came up too. "General Oshanina." In my impression, Patton, who has always been rebellious, seemed to be trembling, but he quickly calmed down, "I used to think that women can't enter the army, even more. They are not qualified to be officers. Because I always believe that they are always at a disadvantage compared with men. In this war that belongs to men, they should go far. But judging from your performance, I find myself Wrong, and quite wrong. I believe that if you were a man, you would be a great commander like Kutuzov."

Even if a bomb fell next to us and exploded, the resulting movement would not be greater than the movement of Patton publicly apologizing to me, especially since Marshall, who knew him, opened his mouth wide and looked at himself like a stranger. Position subordinate. I wanted to respond with a few words with a smile ◆, but I regret to find that because I was too excited, I couldn't speak for a while.

"Now, General," Patton said, seeing that I didn't respond to his words, he said anxiously: "If you think my apology is enough, please stretch out your hand to me. I think a person will always commit something. At fault, when he realizes his mistake, he always hopes to be forgiven by others."

I tried to control my emotions and reached out to Patton, and he shook it with an expression similar to awe. Then he turned to Marshall and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, if General Oshanina can become the commander of the landing operation, then I am willing to be her deputy."

Button's words made me feel dizzy. Oh my God, the famous general in the US Army, Button, was willing to be my deputy. Am I dreaming. I kept saying to myself: hallucinations, hallucinations, this must be hallucinations. It is estimated that a commander of my level will not be able to enter Patton's eyes at all. How can I hope to become his superior, it must be the illusion that I have been too tired on the recent journey.

While I was still thinking about it, I heard Marshall's voice: "General Oshanina, I have never heard George take the initiative to say that he is willing to be someone else's subordinate. This is the case for a general in my country. Let alone a general. A foreign general."

Marshall's words made me awake from my reverie. I stabilized my emotions and tried to smile with a calm tone: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, don't you hear that General Patton is joking with me? He is in the army. The time I stayed is longer than my age, and he commanded me for about the same time. In which round I will command him."

After listening to the translation, both Marshall and Button showed discouraged smiles. Morgan packed up the documents and notebooks in front of him. She stood up under her arm and said politely to Marshall: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I'm sorry. I'm going to be separated. I need to go back and re-form a new combat plan and try to report it to Ike as soon as possible."

The translator might be worried that I didn’t know that Ike was a nickname for Eisenhower, so when translating me, he deliberately translated this title into Eisenhower.

After listening, Marshall nodded and said to Morgan: "Sir Morgan. If Ike feels that there is no problem, please report it to the President immediately, because this plan also involves communication with your country’s Prime Minister Churchill. So the sooner you report, the better."

Sir Morgan agreed very bluntly, and walked out with something in between. When passing by my side. He also proactively reached out and said to me politely: "General Oshanina, we will have a period later!"

I am not at all worried that the plan that Sir Morgan reworked based on my proposal will be rejected by Eisenhower, because what I propose is the final version of his decision. Seeing Morgan was about to shake my hand, he quickly reached out and held it, and said politely: "Sir Morgan, I hope we still have a chance to meet. Goodbye, I wish you all the best!"

After Morgan left, Marshall greeted me to sit down again, glanced sideways at Patton, who was sitting on his right hand, and then said: "General Oshanina, after you left yesterday, George Jr. and I studied your stay in Stalingrad. Stick to the battle of Mamayev Hill in the battle. After our repeated deductions, we can’t understand how you rely on an inadequately trained and equipped infantry division to firmly hold the high ground north of Stalingrad, thus avoiding the city. The fate of the defenders being cut off from the river. Can you give us an answer?"

Regarding Marshall’s question, I scratched the back of my head and replied: "It may have something to do with the fortifications we built on the high ground."

After Marshall and Patton looked at each other, they continued to ask: "I don't know what kind of fortifications can actually resist the rotation of several German divisions?"

Considering the war that took place on the peninsula a few years later, in order to prevent the U.S. from grasping the method of confronting the fortifications from my narrative, I deliberately avoided the fortifications on Mamayev Hill. Tan, just said in general terms: "...Although our commanders and fighters are not afraid of death, flesh and blood can never compete with steel. Faced with the powerful ground-to-air firepower that the Germans dominate, it is only in Mamayev Hill. The construction of various underground and semi-underground civil fortifications has naturally become an effective means for our military commanders to maintain themselves and destroy the enemy. Especially for me who reject passive defenses, the construction of positions must not only facilitate sustained and tenacious resistance. The enemy’s offensive will also facilitate our army’s recoil advancement and rely on positions to attack the enemy...

…During the overwhelming artillery fire and uninterrupted bombing of the German army, the fortifications on the high ground not only saved the precious lives of our countless commanders and fighters, but also caused the enemies who attacked the high ground to pay a heavy price. In China, the Germans tried their best and were unable to seize our position. "

After listening to what I said, Button held a cigar in his mouth, but did not light it. He asked me thoughtfully: "You have been fighting with the Germans for two years, and you must have accumulated a lot of valuable experience. And we have just started fighting with the Germans, and we need to understand this knowledge very much. I don’t know if you can Tell us something?"

I did not refuse Patton's request. After all, the Soviet Union and the United States are allies. Every time they eliminate an enemy, the pressure on our side will be reduced. So I readily passed on the valuable experience that I had accumulated on the battlefield to Patton: "The German offensive has the following characteristics: First, they have made adequate preparations before the offensive. They have always taken tanks, airplanes, and reconnaissance squads. Find out the defense situation of our army by other means. Their main offensive areas are usually selected in open roads and the joint parts of our army. They are good at encircling our army's defensive forces in a roundabout way and defensive points on both sides of the road. Repeatedly compete for the commanding heights, and never give up until the goal is reached.

They often carry out continuous, echelon assaults. When the first echelon's offense is unsuccessful, the second echelon will continue the assault. The defense forces of our army have no chance to breathe, and casualties have risen sharply, achieving the goal of capturing our army's positions in one fell swoop. However, after our army's position has torn open the breach, it will adopt the tactics of advancing side by side and fighting steadily to expand and consolidate the occupied position.

...Before the attack, artillery observers will calibrate the target that is about to be attacked, so as to prepare for a sudden and accurate bombardment. When attacking, the air force is generally used first. Then bombarded with distant artillery to destroy the fortifications of our army. With the suppression of the deep defensive reserve and artillery positions, a large number of powerful targets of our army were destroyed, and then the infantry was covered for multiple continuous assaults. If the attack fails, the enemy will retreat to 100 meters away, quickly attack our position with fierce artillery fire, and then attack again...

...When attacking. German tanks will generally occupy favorable terrain 300 to 500 meters from the front of our army, aim and shoot at the fire points on our position, destroy our front fire points, and then cooperate with the infantry to turn to our side...

... the enemy's defenses against our army are deep and the main traffic routes are blocked by air force and artillery in turn. Especially at night, there are even more smokers to disrupt our army’s adjustment and deployment, cut off our army’s logistics supplies and the transportation of the wounded..."

Marshall and Button said from time to time as they recorded, "It's great, it's great. Such experience is really useful to our army."

After I finished speaking, I felt dry and dry. When I was holding the coffee cup in front of me and wanted to take another sip, I found that it was already empty. I didn't know when I drank the coffee. Just as I was hesitating whether to ask Marshall to ask someone to give me another cup of coffee, a young blond female staff member came to me and put a cup of hot coffee in front of me, while still using it bluntly. Said in Russian: "Coffee, please!"

Although her grammar was incorrect, I did not correct her, but smiled at her and said "thank you" in English.

Just as I picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, I suddenly heard Marshall say: "General Oshanina, we and the British forces are carrying out the'Tunisia Campaign' in Africa. Can you please give us an analysis of what's next? Is the battle progressing?"

I coughed violently when I was choked by his words, and the beauty staff who had just delivered coffee hurriedly came over and patted me on the back. After I stopped coughing, the female staff officer turned and left. I looked up at Marshall, and I was very dissatisfied with his performance of "Long Wang Shu". Providing them with the final version of the "Overlord Project" was already helping them open up. If they were to be pointed out in the "Battle of Tunisia" and let them kill the Germans and Italians smoothly, it would not be a good thing. If the strength of the United Kingdom and the United States were stronger than in history, the Soviet Union would have a hard time Up.

With the mentality of not giving advice to the United States anymore, I decisively refused to say: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the'Battle of Tunisia' was commanded by General Eisenhower of your country. I believe that with his commanding ability, the British and American forces can definitely be commanded. Completely defeated the German-Italian coalition forces."

Although I was rejected, Marshall still asked unwillingly: "What do you think our battle can achieve?"

From Marshall’s words, I heard that he has a test of my ability, but this is also excusable. How important is the Normandy landing is a top-secret plan. Although I just said it right, there are many details. Further scrutiny is needed before the final order can be made. The credibility of my words depends on how I evaluate the "Battle of Tunisia."

I thought about it, and then said slowly: "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, due to the German and Italian troops being wiped out under Stalingrad and the Soviet Red Army's winter offensive on almost the entire Soviet-German battlefield. The huge advantage in military strength has created extremely favorable conditions for the rapid annihilation of the Tunisian enemy and the end of the entire North African war. Once the Allied forces have captured the entire North African coast of the Mediterranean, they will be able to ensure the safety of the Mediterranean’s communication lines and for the offensive. Sicily and the Apennines have created favorable conditions. Through this battle, the British and American forces can gain experience in conducting large-scale offensive campaigns and breaking through the enemy's preset defensive positions, laying a good foundation for future landing operations when opening up a second battlefield."

"When do you think it is the most appropriate time for us to end this battle?" Marshall continued to ask.

I think of historically that the Anglo-American coalition forces have repeatedly delayed the end of the "Tunisia Campaign", so that the German side did not feel too much pressure and was able to continue to dispatch reserves from the west to the Soviet-German battlefield without any hindrance. Thinking of this, I bluntly said: "In the most ideal state, the battle should end in the middle of this month, and the attitude of continuing to attack Sicily or the Apennines will prevent the Germans from removing their reserves from these areas. Transferred to the battlefield on the Eastern Front."

What I should say, I have said ~www.NovelMTL.com~ but I also understand in my heart that it is of no use. When the Battle of Tunisia will end, not only I cannot decide, even Marshall has no right to do so. Only when the interests of Britain and the United States are maximized, this must-win battle will end at a time they deem appropriate.

After hearing what I said, Marshall just smiled bitterly, but didn't speak. After a while, he raised his hand to look at his watch, and then said to me politely: "General Oshanina, it's late, I'll send someone to take you back."

After walking a few steps outside, the translator and I suddenly thought that we had met Roosevelt yesterday. I wonder if I would have another chance to see the president and his wife again. All stopped again and turned to ask Marshall: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I would like to ask, when will I have a chance to see President Roosevelt again?" (To be continued.)
