Burning Moscow

() Less than half an hour later, the operator gave a newly received telegram to Romanov. When Romanov saw the telegram, his face was pale and his hands were trembling constantly. Suddenly, an unknown premonition arose. He quickly stood up, walked in front of him, and asked nervously, "Comrade General, what happened?" At the same time, he stretched out his hand to pick up the telegram in his hand.

Romanov took a look at me, handed the telegram over, and said: "It is the intelligence sent by the troops we sent to Lengdi Town. According to our interrogation of the prisoners, there is a place called Lengdi ten kilometers southwest of the city. In the local town, a company of the Dongfang Battalion was stationed in it. I sent a battalion of the 171st Division, disguised as a German army, to disarm them."

I didn't look at the phone that Romanov handed me, and handed it to Kirilov, asking: "We went to disarm the troops, have they been seen through by the enemy?"

When Romanov finished listening, he shook his head and said, "I think there should be none. According to the commander below, the sentry on the street fired warning shots as soon as they entered the town, and fired at two firepower points at the entrance of the town. Wounded seven or eight of our soldiers."

"Comrade General, what do you mean is that the defenders in the town shot decisively as soon as they spotted our troops?" I heard him say that, and thought things were a bit strange, so I started to ask the details: "We Did the soldiers shout at them, telling them the number of the German army in disguise?"

Hearing my question, Romanov took off his hat, scratched the back of his head, and then replied: "After the enemy opened fire, our commanders immediately became concealed and reported our disguised number to them. The ceasefire, anyway, the firepower has been even stronger, and even mortars have been used."

"Did the camouflage of our troops be seen through by the enemy?" Kirilov asked in a puzzled manner after reading the telegram: "But I don't think it looks like it. As soon as our troops appeared, the enemy opened fire on them. Is this true? What's the matter?"

I sat down at the table, thinking hard about this strange thing. I think Dongfangying's reaction is too out of common sense. When other troops appeared, they shot. It may also be the wrong signal sent by the sentry because of tension. But their next behavior was even more abnormal. In particular, after our commanders reported the fake German number, their shooting was even more violent, and even mortars were used.

After thinking about it for a long time, a strange thought suddenly popped into my mind. The reason why this unit saw the appearance of a German-dressed unit. Just shooting, is it because you see that the current situation is not good for the German army, and have private plans to turn back? As soon as this thought appeared, my heartbeat speeded up consciously.

I stood up and said to Romanov: "Comrade General, please send a telegram to the commander in Lengdi Town immediately and let them show our true identity to the enemy."

"What? Show our true identity?" Romanov was stunned by the shocking news of mine. He froze for a while before hesitatingly asked: "Comrade Commander, are you really sure you want to do this? ?"

"Follow the order. Comrade General." I nodded and said to Romanov smoothly.

"Lida, be careful about this matter!" Seeing Romanov turned around to execute my order, Kirilov quickly stopped him, and then persuaded me: "Are you thinking about it again?"

"I have considered it very clearly, Comrade Political Commissar." Although I felt that reporting our true number to the enemy might have unexpected results, but for a while, I couldn't explain it clearly to the two of them, so I rushed to Roman. Nov waved his hand and urged him: "Hurry up and send the report. When you speak to the enemy, tell them the number of our troops."

But Romanov nodded, and when he went to report, Kirilov grabbed my arm. Pulling me to sit down, while whispering: "Leda, you are crazy. We are now trying to hide our whereabouts, but you want to tell our true number to a group of enemies who have betrayed the motherland. This Does it fit?"

"Comrade Political Commissar, our troops and the enemy in the town have already turned the fire, so even if we don't report the real number. Then the battle will continue." At this point, I shrugged and said disapprovingly. : "If this is the case, why don't we take a gamble, betting that this troop will fire at our troop, just because we want to fight back."

"Anti-water?" Kirilov was taken aback when he heard my statement, and then he retorted: "No. Although there used to be two troops from the Eastern Battalion surrendering to us, this one is in a remote country. The local troops, I haven't heard of us before, so how come they have thoughts of anti-water?"

"Comrade Political Commissar, stay calm." Seeing Romanov walking towards us, I quickly turned off the subject and said: "We will wait a while and we will know the answer soon. Now we have to figure out the first thing. How many towns and cities around Obukoshiv have fallen into our hands in silence."

While waiting for the call back from the front, Romanov patiently told us about the towns around the city that have been successfully occupied by us, how many defenders there are currently, which unit is it, and so on.

When I waited for him to finish the report, and was about to ask him which division he was planning to arrange as the main force in the attack on Kiev, the telegraph operator quickly came to him and handed him the newly received telegram.

I knew that this telegram must have something to do with the town of Lengdi, and I quickly stared at Romanov nervously, trying to judge the situation over there from the change in the expression on his face. Romanov read the telegram quickly, first with an expression of astonishment on his face, and then quickly scanned the telegram again, with an expression of joy on his face.

Seeing the joy on his face, I knew that the affairs of Lengdi Town had been properly handled, so I smiled and asked, "Comrade General, is there information about Lengdi Town?"

Hearing my question, Romanov quickly handed the telegram to Kirilov and replied with a smile: "Yes, Comrade Commander. You guessed it right, it is indeed the news from Lengdi Town."

Although I guessed that the enemy might be knowing the real number of our army and immediately stopped resisting and disarmed and surrendered, I still asked tentatively: "The enemy disarmed and surrendered?"

Romanov nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: "When our commander shouted at the town, saying that we are General Oshanina’s army, the enemies in the town immediately stopped resisting and under the leadership of their company commander. Next, come out and surrender to our troops."

After reading the telegram, Kirilov waited for Romanov to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Lida's reputation on the enemy's side is so great. Once her name is reported, the enemy will immediately Disarmed and surrendered."

Although I had a smile on my face, I heard Kirilov say this, but I felt very unhappy in my heart. My name is in the German army. Many middle and high-level German commanders know about it, but we don’t know much about it, so that every time I come into contact with a new commander, I have to introduce myself again and again.

I turned my head and said to Romanov: "Comrade General. Since the troops of the Eastern Battalion have surrendered, then we will notify our commanders and disperse the officers and soldiers of this company into their troops. By the way, there is also the company commander, immediately Send someone to send him to me. I want to talk to him."

"Yes!" Romanov agreed with a smile, and walked to the operator's side again, and ordered him to send a report to the commander of Lengdi Town.

This time, as soon as Kirilov waited for Romanov to walk away, he gave me a thumbs up. Sincerely complimented: "Leda, you are so awesome, knowing that the enemy will lay down their weapons and surrender as soon as they hear our number. Can you tell me how you judged it?"

"Comrade Political Commissar, this matter is very simple." Anyway, the dust has settled, and I have a leisure time to explain to Kirilov why I made that decision: "You may still remember the original share. Telegram, as soon as the sentry in the town spotted our troops, they fired warning shots. The firepower outside the town also opened fire immediately."

"Yes, I remember it was written in the telegram." Kirilov nodded as he listened, and at the same time urged me: "You go on to say your judgment, I will listen."

"If it was the initial fire. It was because of a misunderstanding. But when our troops reported a fake number, and it was the number of a force that was just wiped out by us. In this case, the enemy in the town cannot Judging whether the serial number is true or false. After hearing the report, I boldly judged that since the enemy did not cease fire after hearing the serial number, and even increased their firepower input, then there is only one possibility left, that is, they are prepared Anti-water."

"Not bad, Lida, your analysis is very reasonable." Kirilov heard me say this, and immediately realized it, and he took the initiative to add to me: "No wonder you are so confident in ordering General Romanov to let him He told the troops to report the real number of our troops to the enemy, which turned out to be the case."

Romanov, who returned to the table again, had a smile on his face, which surprised both Kirilov and I. Kirilov couldn't help but asked, "General Romanov, what happy event is there to make you so happy?"

"Commander, political commissar, it is really a great event." Romanov put the telegram in his hand in front of us, and then said: "The surrendered company commander took the initiative to tell our commander that it was in the forest near the town. Here, there is a hidden military warehouse left by our army that year, and actively acted as a guide, but our commander went to check it out."

Romanov’s words reminded me that when I led a small team to reconnaissance behind enemy lines, I also discovered a huge warehouse and armed with the weapons in it four to five hundred rescued officers and men. Thinking that the war has been going on for almost two years, there is actually our military warehouse behind the enemy.

I took a deep breath and asked Romanov in a calm tone as much as possible: "Comrade General, what weapons and equipment are there in this hidden warehouse?"

"Comrade Commander, if we equip our troops with this batch of weapons, then the overall strength of the troops will be greatly improved." After Romanov finished these few words, in order to let Kirilov and I have a better idea. To understand the image, I picked up the telegram and read the equipment data above for us: "...all the underground warehouses we found were full of Dangdang, just 50 armored vehicles, and 30 tanks, two Hundreds of trucks, all of which are unused. Cannons, anti-tank guns, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles are available. After a preliminary inventory, these weapons should be equipped according to the standards of our two infantry divisions. Because there are too many bullets, artillery shells, and grenades, they are currently being counted."

After listening to the telegram, I stood up from my seat awkwardly, and hurriedly told Romanov: "Comrade General, send more troops to it immediately, and we must deliver all these weapons and ammunition as soon as possible. Especially tanks and armored vehicles, then But a good thing, when we are attacking Kiev, if we have these technical equipment, then the progress of the battle can be greatly accelerated."

After listening to my instructions, Romanov immediately reported his thoughts to me: "Comrade Commander, I plan to send the 171st Division to receive this batch of equipment, and at the same time send the 22nd Brigade of Tanks to it. After all, the tanks Not everyone can open it. Do you see anything else to add?"

"What can I add?" I repeated Romanov's words ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said jokingly: "Comrade General, have you forgotten that there are all kinds of artillery in the warehouse? It happens to be in Cavillin. The artillery regiment of the school’s artillery regiment does not have enough artillery, so it happens to be able to hand over the seized artillery and anti-tank artillery to them. This time, we will add Lieutenant Colonel Cavillin to the troops prepared for the reception."

Romanov nodded and picked up the phone on the desk. After dialing the number one, he said into the microphone: "Hello, is the 171st division command? I am General Romanov. Please call your division commander to answer the phone. There are important tasks to be entrusted to him."

After hearing the series of captured data reported by Romanov, Kirilov was so excited that he grabbed my arm and shook it vigorously and said, "That's great, Lida, this is great. If our troops have this batch of equipment, even if they spend another month or two behind the enemy, there will be no problem."

"Comrade Political Commissar, haven't you been enough behind the enemy?" I smiled and said to him: "What we have to do now is to capture Kiev as soon as possible, wedging a nail in the depth of the enemy's defense, and letting him They have no peace day and night. As long as we can hold Kiev, the Voronezh Front and the Southwest Front in Ukraine can quickly come to join us. With Kiev as a foothold, we can continuously bring more troops Send it here. In that case, the elimination of German troops in Ukraine will be just around the corner." (To be continued.)
