Burning Moscow

"What about tanks, are there any new types of tanks?" Although there are anti-sky rpg rocket launchers from later generations, I am still not satisfied, thinking that if I can launch a batch of main battle tanks from the 1960s and 1970s. After cleaning up the German Tiger Panther style, it was not like playing, so he asked Fronin again and again: "Have you developed several main station tanks of your era?"

"Of course there are!" Fronin said with a smile: "Don't forget that I am a senior engineer in the arsenal. Although the factory where I work is only producing light weapons, I have also worked in a tank factory for ten years. Let's put it this way. Apart from airplanes and warships, I’m not familiar with all the weapons and equipment of the Army, as long as I am given time, I can make them available in advance.

"I don't know what type of tank you plan to launch?" I continued to ask curiously.

"T-72!" Fronin said proudly: "This is the best main battle tank of our time."

"What about the quality, how is the quality?" I think of the Egyptian tank soldiers' complaints about the old Maozi tanks in the post of later generations: the quality is inferior, and it is repaired every day. I couldn't help but ask Fronin again: "How is the battlefield survivability of the new tank? Or, to be precise, can it deal with the Tiger tank just launched by the Germans?"

Fronin frowned, seemingly speechless about my idiot question. After a while, he said leisurely: "When dealing with tanks of the same era, one-on-one looks not very good, but once there is a group-to-group situation, you know how powerful it is. Now. As for the German Tiger Tank," Fronin showed a triumphant expression on his face. Disdainfully said, "Even if our army only dispatches ten T-72s and encounters fifty Germans' latest Tiger tanks, it will be able to defeat them."

Although the words are quite loud, I understand that what he said is true. To know the later t-62. Ordinary anti-tank guns have nothing to do with it. Even if the 40 rocket launcher fires at close range, it can't penetrate its side armor, and Florin's upcoming t-72 is significantly better than the former. I thought that if our army can equip a large number of such tanks, in the upcoming battle of Kursk, it will be able to easily defeat the German armored units. Thought of this. My curiosity is even greater: "I don't know when the troops can be deployed?"

"Arrange troops?" After repeating my words, Fronin shook his head, and said regretfully: "I guess it will not be possible to achieve your wish before 1947."

"Ah, what are you talking about. This kind of tank could not be installed in the army 47 years ago?" Listening to Fronin's words, I can't help but feel very sorry, saying that this latest tank can only be listed after the Great Patriotic War is over. To install troops, it completely loses the meaning of coming out in advance.

"Yes, Lida." Froning also said with regret: "Many technologies are still very backward and cannot be mass-produced. Even the prototype car was provided with a full set of drawings. It took ten months to produce, and various performance tests are currently underway. The superior believes that instead of wasting time to produce a limited number of super tanks, it is better to go all out to produce the T-34 tanks that our army urgently needs." With a look of loneliness, I added specifically, “Due to the sudden outbreak of the war, many heavy industrial production bases like Kharkov fell into the hands of the Germans, although our ordnance enterprises opened up At full horsepower, the production capacity is still very limited."

Seeing that the troops will be equipped with new tanks in a short period of time, things are gone. I turned the topic to a question that I was urgently concerned about: "Comrade Engineer, I would like to ask you. What is the final outcome of the Kharkov battle that is currently underway?"

"Battle of Kharkiv?" As soon as I heard this question. Fronin frowned. After a long time, he said slowly: "I have discovered a lot of history, and there is no small difference between what I know. For example, Lida, you are just a character in a novel, and you are following Warrant Officer Vaskov to block As a German paratrooper, he died heroically. But when I came to this world, the first person I knew was you, and you are still a general, a general that has never appeared in Soviet history. It made me feel very at a loss, and sometimes even suspected that I was having a nightmare that I could not wake up. As for the battle of Kharkov, "Fronin let out a breath after a long pause, and then Said, "We must have failed, but the Germans did not ask for anything. Although they won, a large number of elite troops were consumed in the battle, so that the final victory of the battle could not be reversed from Stalingrad. The defeat of the German army after the battle could not prevent the fate of failure due to the various defects of the Nazi German political and economic system."

Although I had guessed the ending a long time ago, I still asked unwillingly: "But at present we have two fronts in Ukraine. The total strength is several times that of the German army. Isn't this still able to stop the enemy's counterattack?"

Before answering my question, Fronin looked around for a while, and then mysteriously said to me: "Lida, don’t look at Ukraine. It’s north of Ukraine, west of Moscow, and German soldiers. The hundreds of divisions of the Central Army Group, as long as they swept their troops south and formed a flanking force with Mainstein’s troops, our troops would have no power to fight back.” After hearing his words, I looked frustrated and hurriedly He comforted me and said, "But don’t worry too much. I just said that there has been a certain deviation between the history today and the history I know. For example, in the historical battle of Kharkov, Our troops have never been to the right bank of the Dnieper River. Not only did you lead your troops to the right bank, you also succeeded in capturing Kiev. Perhaps today's history will undergo unexpected changes again because of the liberation of Kiev. "

After listening to Fronin’s words, I couldn’t help but fall into contemplation. Although Kiev was in the hands of our army, because our army’s front airfield was destroyed by the German army, and the distant airfield was difficult to increase air support for our army’s ground forces. As a result, air supremacy on the battlefield was handed over to the Germans. If we continue to fight, our only armored unit. Under the intensive air raids of the German army, the losses will be exhausted. In the end, we will wait for the fate of our army.

While I was thinking, suddenly I heard someone walk into the hall again, without waiting for me to look up. He heard a loud voice: "This is not Comrade Oshanina."

When the other party called out my name, I guessed it was another acquaintance, and quickly looked up in the direction of the sound. I saw two people walking towards us side by side. The one on the left who was slightly thin and weak in military civilian clothes seemed to be somewhat familiar; and the handsome man on the right who was wearing a black woolen coat had no impression on me.

"Why? Oshanina. Don't recognize me?" The two stopped not far from us. The middle-aged man in military civilian clothes said to me with a smile on his face: "Look carefully, we But old acquaintance."

Just now it was far away, and I didn't take a close look at the man in military civilian clothes, and now he is standing in front of me. After examining it carefully, he immediately recognized who the other party was. My heart trembled, and I said nervously, "You...you are...Krochkov, Comrade Krochkov, from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Krochkov turned his head and looked at the person next to him. He looked at me, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "Isn’t it me. I thought that Comrade Oshanina would become a general again. I don’t know my old friend anymore."

When I first met Krochkov. He was almost shot as a German spy, and later had several dealings with him, but he has always been shunned. Later on, I ordered the execution of the German prisoners who had killed Zoya. Having said good things for me, the relationship between us only eased. I can't say that turning the enemy into a friend, at least it will not be so embarrassing after the meeting, you can simply exchange a few words. I quickly reached out to him and said politely: "Hello, Comrade Krochkov!"

I was shaking hands in Krochkov. Fronin next to him also actively greeted the handsome guy in the woolen coat: "Hello, dear Dmitry Fedorovich. I'm glad to see you here."

"It's you, Comrade Engineer." Dmitry Fedorovich took Fronin's hand. Enthusiastically said: "It's been a long time. I was planning to see you another day. I didn't expect to see you here today."

"Comrade Ustinov, let me introduce it to you." Krochkov waited for Fronin and their greetings to end, and said to that Dmitry Fedorovich: "This is Osha Comrade Ning Na is an old subordinate of Marshal Zhukov. Don't think she is a woman, but she has made a lot of achievements."

When I heard Krochkov introduce me to the other party first, according to Russian custom, when making an introduction, he must first introduce people with low status to people with high status. It seems that he is a big leader with a status far above me. , So I straightened my body quickly and waited quietly for Krochkov to introduce him to me.

Just listen to Krochkov’s words: "Comrade Oshanina, this is Dmitry Fedorovich Ustinov. He is the People’s Commissar of the Weapons and Equipment Department. He is responsible for leading the production of guns for our army. And the work of developing new weapons."

When Krochkov said Ustinov’s full name and identity, I immediately remembered that when I was recuperating in the city, I saw him who took Fronin from the ward, and he was still People who are highly regarded by Stalin are called the youngest people's commissars. Thinking of this, I quickly reached out to hold his outstretched hand, and said politely: "Hello, Comrade People's Committee."

While shaking hands, Ustinov smiled and said: "Comrade Oshanina, you are the protagonist in today's meeting. Don't be too cautious. Calling the People's Committee is too outrageous, so just call my name. Right."

"Okay, Comrade Ustinov." I felt that the name of the People's Committee was awkward and made me feel uncomfortable. Since he said so, I called his name logically.

We chatted for a few more words, and Ustinov said to Fronin: "Comrade Engineer, I have something important to tell you. Let’s go to the other side and leave it to Krochkov. Tell Comrade Oshanina."

After the two left, Krochkov asked curiously: "Comrade Oshanina, I heard that the superior intends to transfer you to the reserve front to serve as the chief of staff. I don't know when to take office?"

Although Bezikov announced to me about going to the reserve front, it was not a notice from the superior after all. As for when I can take office, I really can't answer. Therefore, I shook my head and said to Krochkov: "I haven't received a formal order from my superiors, so I don't know when I can take office."

After saying this, I suddenly remembered the problem with my eyes, and hurriedly asked: "Comrade Krochkov, do you know which hospital has the best medical level?"

"The best doctors were almost all evacuated to the rear. Almost all of the remaining doctors were called up to serve the wounded and sick in the military hospital." After saying this, he couldn't help but look me up and down. After a while, I asked a little unexpectedly: "Is your injury recurring and you need to go to the hospital for treatment? If that's the case, after the ceremony is over, I will immediately accompany you to the nearest military hospital. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Seeing that he misunderstood what I meant, I waved my hand quickly and explained to him: "Comrade Krochkov, it's not what you think. It's not that my old injury has recurred, but that my eyes seem to have a problem. "

My answer was beyond Krochkov’s expectation, and he asked in surprise: "What, what is wrong with your eyes? Tell me, what the **** is going on?."

Seeing Krochkov asked this, I quickly explained the symptoms of my own eyes to him. After hearing this, he said thoughtfully: "Oshanina, I think your eye disease is not mild. Going to an ordinary military hospital may be useless. You need to go to a special hospital to see an ophthalmology department. So let's wait for the ceremony. At the end, I will take you to a hospital. I know an ophthalmologist who is very skilled there, and he can definitely help you check out what is wrong with your eyes."

If I have always had a grudge against Krochkov, after he said this, I began to regard him as my friend. I took his hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, Comrade Krochkov."

As soon as my voice fell, a familiar voice rang not far away: "Isn't this Comrade Oshanina? It's been a long time, how are you doing recently?" (to be continued)
