Burning Moscow

phone-reading

In the middle of the night, Tavart Kiradze, commander of the 51st Guards Division, called and reported to us the information obtained by the scouts: "Comrade Commander, I've figured it out. The troops stationed in Tomarovka are' The Second Regiment of the Greater Germany’s Armored Division, which governs three motorized infantry battalions, each with a total strength of between 600 and 700. The regiment is commanded by Colonel Garski."

I waited for Tawart Kiradze to finish, and asked casually: "Have you figured out the situation of troops and weaponry?"

"Our scout captured a staff officer of the first battalion of the regiment, and all the information was obtained through interrogation." Although I did not ask how the information was obtained, Tawart Kiradze took the initiative to tell me Explain the source of the intelligence. "The commander of the battalion is Major Golauther, and the adjutant is Lieutenant Weber. It has four motorized infantry companies, plus a heavy machine gun company. As for the specific equipment, the captives refused to confess, so I cannot provide you with it for the time being. "

When I heard that the equipment of the German army was not available, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. I just hung up the phone when I wanted to make a perfunctory sentence, but I heard Tawart Kiradze say again: "Comrade Commander, there is another important piece of information. Although we cannot prove its authenticity for the time being, I I still think it should be reported to you."

Tavart Kiradze’s words aroused my interest, and I quickly asked: "Comrade General, what important information is, please tell me first. As for whether it is true or not, I will send someone to find out."

After hearing my statement, Tawart Kiradze said carefully: "According to the information seized from the captured German staff, the German army will continue to work three days later, that is, on June 24. The west side of Kovrevo bypassed our division's defense zone and went deep behind our army."

"What, General Tavart Kiradze?" His words startled me in a cold sweat, and I asked cautiously, "Is what you said is true?"

Tavartkilasze hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, Comrade Commander. That's what the information we seized said, but the German translation in the division is not a professional. There may be some translations. deviation."

In order to find out what was going on, as soon as Tavart Kirazzi finished speaking, I immediately ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Comrade General, please send someone to send the captured documents to the command of the Army Group immediately. , We must find out what is going on as soon as possible."

"Yes." Tawart Kiradze replied very readily: "I'll send someone to send it over immediately."

While waiting for the documents from Tavart Kiradze’s men, I told Danilov and the others what I had just heard. After listening to my words. Danilov leaned down and looked at the map on the table, but Bezikov said in a suspicious tone: "Comrade Commander. The intelligence captured by the scouts of General Tavartkilasz will not be the Germans. Did you deliberately fake it to deceive us?"

Regarding Bezikov’s view, I thought about it with a frown, then bit my head and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, I don’t think it should be. The Germans are not launching a full-scale attack on our defense zone. They forged Such a document is meaningless."

"Comrade Commander," Danilov, who had been looking at the map, raised his head as soon as I finished speaking. He looked at me and asked, "If the information is true, what are your plans?"

I snorted and said with a sneer: "Since the Germans are going to bring them to the door by themselves, then we are not welcome. We must eliminate this small army."

"Comrade Commander, how do you plan to play?" Danilov asked next.

"Although the Germans are dispatching small troops, I think there will be tanks and armored vehicles. So I have to find a way to fight them in an ambush." ​​I said, looking down at the map in front of me, trying to find a suitable location. Since I have been wandering the front line almost every day for the past two months, I am quite familiar with the terrain here, so it is easy to find a suitable location for ambush.

I pointed to the location on the map and said excitedly: "It's right here. It's an ideal ambush location."

"Shell Waka," Danilov looked at the position of my finger and quickly read the place name. Then he wrinkled and asked every day: "Comrade Commander, how do you know this is a very suitable place for ambushing?"

"Comrade Deputy Commander, please see." Regarding Danilov's question, I pointed to the map and explained to him patiently: "To the northeast of Shell Waka is the No. 1 position of the 51st Guards Division, two places It is three to five kilometers apart. Shell Waka is an open area. To the north is a lake insurmountable by armored forces, and to the south is a huge hillside. Our troops can hide on the hillside and wait for the enemy to enter the ambush circle. The artillery at position No. 1 carried out a round of artillery fire on the German marching formation. The Germans marching in the open area were bound to suffer heavy casualties after being hit by our artillery fire. At this time, our troops ambushing on the hillside turned towards If they launch a surprise attack, they cannot be wiped out, and they can be hit hard."

After listening to my plan, Danilov stared at the map for a long time, and then asked the question in his mind: "Comrade Commander, if the German army is attacked by our artillery fire, it will rush forward or turn around and run back. , What should we do?"

"Comrade Deputy Commander, if the enemy has the two situations you mentioned," I explained to Danilov's two concerns: "If the enemy continues to rush forward, he will rush in and approach. In the defense area of ​​the 51st Guardian Division, the commanders and fighters who were already waiting on the position would use intensive firepower to block the path of the German army. When the troops ambush on the hillside rushed over, they could form a forward and backward flanking force, giving the enemy a threat. Serious injuries. As for them to turn around and flee, it would be more appropriate. Our troops don’t need to attack at all. They only need to use artillery for extended shooting, agreeing to cause heavy casualties."

After I finished speaking, Danilov did not immediately express his views, but suggested to me: "Comrade Commander, if we really want to wipe out or severely inflict this small force deep in our defense, we must use it. Artillery and tanks. Therefore, I suggest that I immediately bring in General Tawartkilasze of the 51st Guards Division, and Colonel Bere, the commander of the 33rd Tank Corps, to study the cooperation of the troops with them."

I deeply agree with Danilov’s proposal. When I turned around and was about to tell Bezikov to call General Tavartkilasze and Colonel Bere, I found that he had already walked to the phone and picked it up. The headset is dialing. Seeing him behave so positively this time, my dissatisfaction with him has also diminished a lot, as long as he is willing to learn how to be a staff officer. Then I am still willing to use an acquaintance like him to serve as my chief of staff.

Since Colonel Bere’s tank army headquarters was not far from us, he appeared in the house after ten minutes. After he sat down, I asked straightforwardly: "Comrade Colonel, you have been receiving new tanks for a while. How about, have the tank soldiers adapted to the new tanks?"

"Don't worry. Comrade Commander." Bieley stood up and answered me with a smile on his face: "The two battalions of the 82nd Tank Brigade currently equipped with new tanks have formed combat effectiveness and are ready to go into battle."

Bele’s words made me feel more at ease. Now that the troops equipped with new tanks have become combat effective, I can use them with confidence and boldness in the battle in a few days. I said to Biele: "Colonel, there may be a small battle in two days. I wonder if you can send troops to join the battle?"

"Of course there is no problem." Colonel Bere replied very readily: "You are the commander. As long as you give an order, our 33rd Tank Corps is always ready for your dispatch. Where you point, I and my tank soldiers will rush. Going there, beating the Germans in embarrassment and fleeing, will definitely not disappoint your high expectations."

I waved my hand when I heard Colonel Biere’s determination. He smiled and said: "Okay, Comrade Colonel, you and I are old acquaintances, so you don't need to say these things. Then you only need to draw out two tank companies equipped with new tanks to participate in the battle."

Bie Lei couldn't help but feel itchy when he heard that there was a combat mission. He asked, "Comrade Commander. I don't know where the battle will be carried out. What is the mission of our tank army?"

"Don't worry, Colonel Bere." Danilov took the conversation and said to Bere with a smile: "We will have a meeting as soon as the commander of the 51st Guards Division, General Tavartkilasze, arrives. As for What task, we will explain to you two in detail in the meeting."

Although the defense zone of the 51st Guards Division was a bit far away from ours, Tavart Kiradze received a call from Bezikov. Then hurriedly rushed. When he arrived, it happened that the piece of information he sent was translated into Russian by the translator of the Intelligence Section and sent.

Precisely because this document arrived in front of us at the same time as General Tawart Kiradze, the first thing in the meeting was to read the contents of the document to the commanders present. After reading it, I put down the document and asked Tavart Kiradze: "Comrade General, if this document is true, what do you think?"

"Stay in your position and never take a step back." Tawart Kirazzi replied.

Danilov and I looked at each other for Tavart Kiradze's answer, and both saw a smile on each other's face. So I said to Tawart Kiradze: "Comrade General, defense alone is not enough. You must know that even if the enemy is equipped with tanks, artillery, and armored vehicles, they are just a small force, and we are fully capable of taking them. ."

"Eat them?!" Tawart Kiradze looked at me confusedly, and asked in amazement: "Comrade Commander, I don't know how we should eat them?"

I stood up, pointed to the shell Waka on the map and said to him: "Comrade General, this place is not far from your defense zone, right?"

Tawart Kiradze nodded his head after just one glance, and said affirmatively: "Yes, Comrade Commander, this is only a little over four kilometers away from my defense zone. Standing in the observation post on the hillside, you can move the front The terrain of more than ten kilometers can be seen clearly."

"How's the terrain here?" I didn't directly state my plan, but instead asked the other person to see if he was an excellent commander.

After looking down at the map for a while, Tawartkilasze raised his head and said: "Comrade Commander, there is a large hillside to the south of this open field. We can ambush a troop here and wait for the Germans to pass. Later, he suddenly rushed out from behind them and hit them by surprise."

"Comrade commander." Danilov deliberately asked: "The east is your defense zone. The enemy under attack will definitely not run there, because it is a self-inflicted trap. It is even more impossible to go west, because You are in that direction. What should you do if they retreat to the north?"

"Comrade Deputy Commander, it is impossible for the German army to retreat to the north~www.NovelMTL.com~Tavart Kiradze thought that Danilov didn’t know the topography there, and specifically explained: "The north is a wide area. Lakes, the Germans have no way to go north. "

Danilov listened to Tavart Kiradze’s words, turned his head and smiled at me, and then said: "Comrade Commander, seeing that Commander Tavat Kiradze is also very familiar with the terrain here, then he Tell him about the mission."

"Comrade General." I smiled and nodded at Tavart Kiradze with a surprised look, and then told him about my plan just now. After I finished speaking, I asked, "What do you think of this plan?"

Tawart Kiradze thought for a moment, then nodded again and again, and said affirmatively: "Comrade Commander, your plan is pretty good. If the Germans don't come, then they will be hard to fly if they do. But I There is another question, I don’t know whether to say or not."

"Go ahead, Comrade General." I encouraged him: "Say what you think of, and don't have any scruples."

"That's it, Comrade Commander." Tavart Kiradze said hesitantly: "If there are really tanks and armored vehicles in the German army, it would be difficult to keep them just because of my infantry in ambush. The enemy's..."

"Okay, General Tavart Kiradze." Before he finished speaking, I understood what he meant, and quickly raised my hand to stop him from continuing, but directly stated my own arrangement: "I intend to Let Colonel Bere mobilize two tank units from two companies and lie in ambush on the hillside with your troops. After the enemy is hit by our army’s artillery fire and falls into chaos, your combined unit will launch a surprise attack again and teach you a lesson Take a look at these fascist invaders."
