Burning Moscow

phone-reading

On the appointed day, Rokosowski's men rushed to my place to pick me up. Please search (品#书￥网) to see the most complete! The newest novel ∈↗, I followed the major to the outdoors and saw that besides the jeep at the door, there was also a truck with a roof. He stopped and turned his head to ask the commander: "Comrade Major, can you take my subordinates with me?"

The major nodded and smiled and replied: "Comrade General, the order I received is to take you and your subordinates to meet the commander of the front."

After listening to the major’s answer, I turned to look at Yushchenko behind me, and pointed to the truck in front of me and said: "Captain, you and your subordinates should get in the car." Yushchenko agreed and immediately greeted the rest of the guards. The clerk got on the truck.

When we came to the meeting point, I saw Rokosovs standing beside a jeep with a serious expression, quickly asked the driver to stop, got out of the car and ran towards him. I walked up to him, raised my hand to salute, and greeted him politely: "Hello, Comrade Commander of the Front Army, I am here at your order, please give instructions!"

Seeing my appearance, Rokosovsky's expression softened. He smiled and asked me: "Lida, how are your eyes recovered?" After asking, he looked at me carefully. After a while, he couldn't help but frowned, "What's the matter, why are your eyes one big and one small? Your image is not so good-looking."

I found out the situation Rokosovsky said a long time ago, and even asked Sergey privately, will my eyes be so big and small in the future? Sergey comforted me and said that this is the case just after the operation, and it will be back to normal within half a year at most. At this moment, hearing Rokosovsky’s question, I quickly replied: "Comrade Commander. This is because of the operation just completed. It will be back to normal in a few months."

Rokosovsky waited for me to finish. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then greeted me, "Okay, it's late, let's set off. There are still hundreds of kilometers, and if we don't hurry, we won't be able to catch Kursk at night."

When I got into the car, I found that the driver was a lieutenant, and the co-pilot was a major general. And it looks familiar. After Rokosovsky settled down, he introduced me to the general sitting in front: "Lida, let me introduce to you, Major General Terekin, a military commissar of the Front Army Headquarters."

Terekin waited for Rokosovsky to finish, then offered to extend his hand to me and said politely: "Hello, General Oshanina, I am glad to see you here!"

"Me too, General Terekin." I shook his hand gently, and said politely: "We have met before. But the time interval is too long. Please forgive me for not recognizing it in time. you."

Rokosovsky waited after Terekin and I shook hands. Instruct the driver immediately: "Lieutenant, drive. Try to drive the car as steady as possible. General Oshanina's eyes have just been operated on. If the jolt is too severe, the wound will be easily broken away."

"Understood, Comrade Commander." After the lieutenant promised, he started the car slowly.

But when the car situation stabilized, Rokosovsky said to Terekin in front of him: "Comrade Military Commissioner, since Lida is with us to inspect the front line, please tell her about the situation of our Central Front. "

Terekin nodded, turning his body sideways and began to introduce the situation of the troops to me: "...The 21st Army, which we have assembled, was transferred to the south from the base camp on the 11th of this month to defend against Mainstein's possible launch. The offensive. Although the 3rd, 48th, and 13th Army Groups that originally belonged to the Bryansk Front Army were placed under our command at the same time, these units had been maimed by the Germans in the early battles and completely lost their combat effectiveness.

In the next half month, the German Ninth Army's counterattack against us almost completely wiped out our cavalry group that was deep behind enemy lines. Then the German Second Armored Army moved from east to west, and the Second Army from west to east. The Ninth Army attacked us from the front. We did our utmost to mobilize all the troops that could be mobilized to meet the enemy, so as to avoid the threat of troop being cut off.

At present, our large-scale battle with the Germans has finally come to an end, but our troops have been beaten back to the original attack location by the enemy. The 3rd, 13th, 48th, 65th, 70th Army, Second Tank Army and Cavalry Group under the Front Army lost a total of nearly 300,000 people, of which about 90,000 were killed, missing and captured. "

After listening to Terekin's introduction, I couldn't help but take a breath. I only knew that our army was defeated by the Germans, but I didn't expect such a terrible defeat, and the number of casualties would be so high. After a while, I recovered from the shock and asked Rokosovsky tentatively: "Comrade Commander, I don't know what caused this failure?"

Rokosovsky smiled bitterly and replied: "The main reason for this failure is our serious lack of preparation for the offensive. This can be seen from the fact that almost all army groups joined the offensive during the march."

When I heard Rokosovsky’s answer, I felt a little surprised. In any case, the Supreme Command had the unshirkable responsibility for this failure. If it hadn’t been for them to take Rokosovsky without authorization. The 21st Army here is transferred away, and the situation will not become as difficult to manage as it is now. But even in the face of such an endgame, Rokosovsky still did not complain about the command, and still took the responsibility on his own body, which made me take a high look at his character.

"Lida, General Terekin came back overnight from the front line." After saying this, Rokosovsky asked Terekin in the front row: "Comrade Military Commissioner, the fortifications on the front line How is the work going?"

When Terekin heard Rokosovsky's question, he couldn't help but sighed and said helplessly: "Comrade Commander, the progress of building defensive positions is not smooth. Now it is just in time for the spring season of snow melting, everywhere. It’s muddy, and many places where the fortifications are planned to be built cannot be started at all.” Having said that, he quickly glanced at me and added, “It is the'Oshaninna trench' that the Supreme Commander ordered us to build. After finally digging a section, I got up the next morning and took a look. That section of anti-tank trench has become a pool. If it weren’t too cold, I guess the soldiers would have gone swimming.”

When Rokosovsky heard him say this, he couldn't help but laughed, and said jokingly: "It's good to be a pool. At least the German tanks have not learned to swim. Facing such anti-tank trenches, It is impossible to pass at all."

Although I knew that Rokosovsky deliberately changed the subject for fear of embarrassment, I couldn't help but say: "Comrade Commander. Maybe in the current season, it is not suitable to build this kind of anti-tank trench. Yes. No, we will postpone the construction time a little bit and wait until May to talk about it."

Unexpectedly, Rokosovsky frowned immediately after hearing my proposal. He sternly said to me: "Lida, we don't know when the moral army will attack us again, and we don't know how long they will leave us to perfect the fortifications and gather troops. If so, We cannot use the precious time of the truce to repair the fortifications and wait for the German army to attack again. What shall we use to stop the German armored torrent?"

When I heard Rokosovsky say this, I almost couldn't help telling him directly. Said that the German army will not launch an offensive in the short term. The real large-scale battle will not take place until the beginning of July. However, I swallowed it back. If I really said these words, I might treat them as lunatics; when the Battle of Kursk begins, I will be sent to some secret research institute. The researchers inside conducted thorough research and analysis on me. In order to prevent myself from suffering such a fate, I can only shut my mouth and keep silent.

"By the way, Comrade Commander." Terekin, who had been listening to us, suddenly remembered an important thing, and quickly said to Rokosovsky: "I almost forgot, the commander of the 60th Army Chernyakhovsky is waiting for you in the headquarters. It seems that there is something important to discuss with you."

Originally, when I watched Terekin and Rokosovsky discuss matters, I was absent-minded, but when I heard Chernyakhovsky's name, I suddenly became energetic. I can’t wait to ask Terekin: "Comrade Military Commissioner, I don’t know what the full name of General Chernyakhovsky is?"

"Ivan Danilovich Chernyakhovsky." Terekin asked me curiously after saying the name of the commander of the 60th Army: "Do you know him?"

Hearing this question from him, I quickly shook my head like a rattle: "I don't know, I have never dealt with him, how can I know him?"

Although I tried my best to deny that I knew this Chernyakhovsky, the evaluation of later generations came into my mind: "The style is decisive, has rich experience in organizing and commanding large corps operations, and is good at major assaults. Concentrating a large number of troops, he is good at using tank regiments, interspersed and encircled. He is good at training the army with a wealth of practical experience, and has excellent ability to organize and command large corps. The major battles he organized and commanded better reflect the former Soviet Union Military academic principles."

He is different from other generals in that he cherishes his officers and soldiers very much, and never let them make unnecessary sacrifices. This is quite like me, otherwise I would not feel sorry for him. If he hadn't been lucky, and died near Melsak, he would be promoted to marshal.

The roads in Moscow are fairly stable. As soon as you enter the suburbs, especially those roads that have been opened in the forest, they become muddy and difficult to navigate because the snow melts and is crushed by countless vehicles. At first, everyone could get out of the car and walk for a while, but the road became more and more impassable as they walked along. Rokosovsky had no choice but to order his subordinates to cut down the trees in the forest. Bunch wood to pave the road so that the vehicle can continue to move forward.

While we were standing by the jeep waiting for the soldiers to cut down the trees, I curiously asked Rokosovsky: "Comrade Commander, I don't know where your headquarters is located?"

"Lida, come and see." Rokosovsky spread a map on the hood, pointed to a location and said to me: "It's here-Yelets, it's a railway transportation hub."

I looked in the direction of his fingers and saw that although this place is in a very convenient place, it is also a particularly conspicuous target, which is strange if it does not attract the attention of the Germans. Thinking of this, I quickly reminded him: "Comrade Commander, I think it is very inappropriate to locate the headquarters in such a position."

"Why?" Before Rokosovsky could speak, Terekin rushed to ask: "Comrade Oshanina, don't you see that the traffic in this place is quite convenient? Comrade Commander, you said yes. Right?"

Rokosovsky did not agree with his opinion, but after reading me with a smile, waiting for me to express my opinion. Because I might stay in Rokosovsky’s headquarters for a while, for the sake of my own safety, I immediately expressed my opinion without hesitation: "Commander, Comrade Military Commissioner, come and see Yelets is an important railway transportation hub. Not only do we know this, but the Germans also know it.” Seeing that the two nodded at the same time, expressing approval of my views, they went on to say, “Since the enemy Knowing that our headquarters is located here, they will definitely send out the air force to bomb the area indiscriminately. And our air force is still unable to suppress the German air force under the current circumstances, so it is for the front army headquarters. For safety, it should be transferred to other areas."

After listening to Rokosovsky, he asked me like a teacher taking a student test: "Lida, if you were the commander of the front army, where would you locate the headquarters?"

I looked down at the map in front of me~www.NovelMTL.com~ After trying hard to find the familiar place name, I pointed with my finger and said decisively: "This is it, Comrade Commander."

Rokosovsky and Terekin moved their heads together and looked at the position of my finger. Terekin also read the name of the place: "Svoboda, Comrade Oshanina, do you mean that we should locate our headquarters in this humble settlement north of Kursk?"

Because the place I pointed out for them happened to be the location of a headquarters of the Central Front Army, I replied very simply: "Yes, Comrade Military Commissioner. Not only is the safety factor higher than Yelets, but it is also closer to the army. Conducive to your control of the troops."

Rokosovsky looked at the place I put forward for a while and made a decisive decision: "Yes, Lida chose a very good location. Comrade Military Commissioner, when we go back, we will immediately call the commander The Ministry is transferred to Svoboda." (To be continued.)
