Burning Moscow

The commendation meeting was very brief. Colonel Rukhley from the front army commanded the honor for us. Military commissioner Gurov gave a few more words, and the representatives of the troops who came to watch the ceremony were disbanded and returned to their respective troops.

When the commander of the group army, Kolpakic, passed by me, he deliberately stopped and told me that Major Oshanina, no, he was a lieutenant colonel. Come with me, we will go to the Frontier Observatory, where I will direct today's counterattack. "Before I could answer, he turned his head and said to Shemikov who was standing by and said that there is still you, Comrade Lieutenant, and come with me."

After speaking out loudly, Semykov and I hurriedly followed behind the commander of the group army and walked towards the convoy parked in the distance.

Kolpakic and Gurov walked to a jeep and stopped, chatted briefly, and shook hands to bid farewell. Kolpakchi opened the rear door of the jeep and sat in, while Gurov stood beside the car and did not move. It seemed that he was in charge of staying behind the group army headquarters.

I looked around, wanting to see where Cui Kefu is. However, after searching in the crowd for a long time, he didn't see the familiar figure. It is estimated that he had already left here last night. Just as I was disappointed, Captain Semikov greeted my comrade lieutenant colonel, let's get in the car. "

I agreed, raised my leg and walked toward the car in which Kolpakci was sitting. After two steps, Semykov stopped me and asked comrade lieutenant colonel strangely, where are you going? "

I don’t know that he would pull me suddenly, so he pointed to Kolpakchi’s car and said, Comrade Captain, didn’t you let me get in the car? I'm about to get in the car. "

Unexpectedly, Shemikov pointed to a jeep not far away. Say yes, I called you into the car just now. The car is here, you still go ahead to do it. That's the commander's car. "

Hearing what he said, I suddenly felt hot on my face. The main reason is that I have been riding in the same car so much with the leader for so long, so that now I have developed a habit. As long as I hear about getting in the car, I become habitual Go to the leader's car.

Our fleet consists of six jeeps and two trucks. Except for the commander himself, the rest of the jeep riders are staff officers at all levels. On the truck are the guards of the headquarters.

The forward command is located on a hill with high mountains and dense forests. In order to ensure that the commander in command of the battle can understand the situation on the battlefield in time, the command built by the engineering troop is not only concealed but also has a wide view. Standing in the headquarters, you can have a panoramic view of the great plain under the hills.

The staff are well trained. It took less than ten minutes. Communication with the various units has been kept open, which not only enables Kolpakchi to see all kinds of intelligence in a timely manner, but also to continuously issue orders to the various units.

At ten o'clock, the three artillery regiments assigned to the 33rd Infantry Division of the Guards began to bombard the German positions. The German positions on the bare plains were soon shrouded in gunpowder and fire.

Kolpakic held his binoculars and stared motionlessly at the German positions being ravaged by our artillery fire. After a while, he moved the telescope away from his eyes. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, turned his head and ordered Comrade Semikov who was standing behind him. Hit the commander of the 13th Tank Corps, and his tank unit should have attacked. "Semikov replied loudly, and turned to call the friendly army.

Kolpakic raised his binoculars again and watched the performance of our artillery. It was great to keep cheering in a low voice. Brother Artillery was great! Move the artillery to the right again, where there is still a point of fire from the Germans, destroy it! That’s great, really killed that firepower spot! "

When Kolpakchi was talking to himself, I also stood beside him and held up a telescope to observe the enemy. Contrary to his euphoria, my heart sank as I watched. After striking the first line of defense of the German army, our artillery did not extend firepower, but one trench and one trench, one trench and another trench, slowly gnawing. . Their style of play seems to be able to remove the Germans from the position little by little, but in fact, it allows the Germans to see clearly that the rear of the position is safe, and it is most appropriate to avoid shelling there. When the front trench was bombarded, except for a few observation posts, they all ran to the back position and returned after the bombardment was over.

Suddenly I heard Kolpakchi screaming in excitement. It's great. Our tank troops are dispatched. The German positions that have been hit by artillery will definitely not be able to stop our steel torrent. "After shouting, he gave orders to the 33rd Guards Division through Semikov to give orders to Comrade Lieutenant, hurry up and fight against the commander of the 33rd Guards Division, Colonel Fanasiyev, and ordered him to immediately dispatch the 83rd Regiment and follow the tank troops. To seize the German positions."

I moved the camera to the east, and saw more than a hundred tanks of our army lined up in a battle formation, rushing towards the German position like a rainbow. Because the dust raised was too large, it was hard to see whether there were infantry following behind. However, judging from the situation on the battlefield, I estimate that if nothing unexpected happens, these tanks alone will be able to defeat the Germans on the ground, and when the guards surge up, they will be able to wipe out all the Germans.

The galloping tank of our army quickly approached the German position, and our artillery stopped firing. At this time, the firepower on the German position was resurrected. Not only mortars, machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns were firing, but the anti-tank guns also fired at our tanks.

Several of the tanks that rushed to the forefront were quickly shot and caught fire and were forced to stop. The tank soldiers in black uniforms got out of the burning tank, bent over and ran quickly in the direction they came. Except for a few lucky ones, most of the tank soldiers didn't run far before they were hit by the criminal bullets of the German army and fell on the battlefield.

If the tank continues to rush forward, it should soon be able to rush to the German position. But at this moment, a surprising scene happened and our army's tanks stopped attacking. Some tanks drove backwards directly, and some tanks turned around in the same direction.

Kolpakchi was stunned and asked someone to move a walkie-talkie. He grabbed the microphone and asked the commander of the tank army aloud, comrade general, your tank army? To stop the attack? "

The other party replied loudly, Comrade Commander, we can't get through without the support of the infantry in the front position. "

"Stop the retreat, Comrade General. Order your troops to stop, immediately stop and stop in place to suppress the German firepower with tank guns, and my infantry will be here soon." Kolpakqi shouted angrily.

"General Kolpakchi," the opposing commander did not pay attention to the commander of the group army, and said to himself that I would repeat it again. Without the support of the infantry, my troops would not be able to pass the front position. Before your infantry has rushed together, we will stop the offensive. "

"Asshole! You asshole! You will ruin this counterattack. I want to report what you did to the commander of the front army and send you to the military court." Kolpakchi yelled, and turned the microphone. With a strong shake, he walked quickly to the observation port to check the battlefield.

The tanks on the battlefield stopped retreating, stopped about one kilometer away from the German position, and fired at the opponent's anti-tank guns. Just after a tank of our army was hit and smoked, the anti-tank gun that fired artillery shells was hit by one or several tank shells at the same time, and it exploded to pieces.

Ten minutes later, the infantry of the 83rd Guards Regiment finally arrived, and the tank unit launched a new round of offensive. However, they did not clear the way for the infantry in front, but followed behind the infantry team, slowly advancing forward, from time to time with artillery to provide artillery support for the offensive troops.

The German mortars placed in the trenches, facing the dense offensive formation of our army, began to show their power. Every mortar bomb fell in our army’s queue and exploded, there would be a few or even a dozen commanders. Fall down in response.

Although a few days ago, I participated in the more **** and brutal battle of Signavino, but I stayed in the headquarters almost all the time, only to understand the progress of the battle through the battle report, even if the casualties of the troops, to me, but It's just a boring number, but now I have seen one after another fresh life disappear in front of me. Seeing all this, my heart is cut, but there is nothing I can do. This is war.

I took a sneak peek at Kolpakchi next to him, and saw his face pale and gritted his teeth watching the ongoing battle. I knew in my heart that if conditions permit, he would probably draw and kill the general of the tank army himself. It was his indecision and retreat ~www.NovelMTL.com~ that caused the infantry of our group army to pay such a large casualty.

As I was thinking, Kolpakic put down his telescope and ordered Comrade Semikov to strike at Colonel Kharchenko of the 192nd Infantry Division, ordering his troops to immediately attack from their existing positions and flanking the German right flank. Ensure that the 33rd Division of the Guards' attack goes smoothly. Also, let Colonel Farnasiev put all the 84th and 85th regiments into battle. "

Although the 83rd Regiment of the attacking guards suffered heavy casualties, the commanders had already rushed into the first trench and engaged in close combat with the Germans guarding inside. The tanks of our army drove slowly to the side of the trenches, using artillery to clear out the exposed firepower points and cover the infantry occupying the position.

Seeing that the infantry was taking the position, Kolpakic breathed a sigh of relief, put down his binoculars, lit a cigarette, turned around and asked Comrade Semikov, have all the orders been issued? "Don't skip words.

Shemikov agreed, yes, Comrade Commander. Colonel Halchenko and Colonel Fanasiyev said that their troops are already ready to go, and they are only waiting for your order to attack. No, as soon as the fight was over, their troops began to attack. "
