Burning Moscow

　　 Sleeping soundly, I feel dimly that someone is shaking my body gently, still yelling: "Comrade Master, Comrade Master, you wake up...."

I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw that the person standing by the bed calling me was Kistyakov. Knowing that he was calling me at this time, there must be something important to me, so I sat up slowly, while Continue to close his eyes and calm his mind while asking weakly, "What time is it?"

"It's just after six o'clock!" Kistyakov may be a little uneasy about waking me up early, fearing that I will get angry at him, so after saying this, he instinctively took two steps back and said carefully: " Comrade commander and comrade commander have a phone call and ask you to pick it up in person."

　　 I said oh, did not immediately get up to answer the phone, just stepped on the ground with both feet, rubbing his face vigorously with both hands, trying to get rid of sleepiness as soon as possible, so that I can quickly return to a awake state. I know that Rokosovsky's calls at this time are related to the battle in Sun Mountain City, so I asked Kistyakov who stood far away: "Are there any battles in the direction of Sun Mountain City?"

"The sound of guns in the direction of Sun Mountain City stopped half an hour ago. It is estimated that the battle has ended. But who owns the city? Because the scouts we sent have not yet come back, we don't have exact information for the time being. "

I said again, got up and walked quickly to the table, picked up the microphone on the table, and said hello to Rokosovsky: "Hello, Comrade Commander. Is there any good news to tell me? ?"

"Lida!" Rokosovsky called my name, and told me in a heavy tone: "Maybe I have brought you bad news. In tonight's offensive action, I can help you. Will be very limited. After a whole day of **** battle, our army still failed to stop the crazy attack of the fascist bandits. The three settlements of Sverchikovo, Selicievo and Multnovo, which were once captured, have been again The enemy took it back. At present, the 2nd Cavalry Army of Guards retreats three kilometers back, occupying a new defensive position and deploying. In today's battle, we inflicted heavy damage on the attacking enemy. They almost stepped on their own bodies. Just barely rushed into the residential area..."

　　 Rokosowski’s last few words were directly ignored by me. If the settlement is lost, it is lost, and it is useless to kill the enemy no matter how big it is. Moreover, in my impression, the combat effectiveness of the enemy and mine are very different. Even if the Soviet army belongs to the defensive side, its casualties will inevitably be far greater than the German army. I did not agree with him and said, but asked a question that I am most concerned about: "Are the buildings in these three settlements seriously damaged?"

　　 "The buildings in the residential area were bombarded by enemy planes, and almost a complete building survived." When he said this, he suddenly asked me curiously: "Lida, what do you ask this for?"

　　 I did not answer his question directly, but instead asked: "Commander, have you noticed that the temperature outside has cooled down today?"

I have said this to this point, but Rokosovsky still has no recollection, and is still asking me: "I know that the temperature has dropped today, and the drop is quite large. But this is the same as you ask the residential area. Does it matter whether the building is complete?"

I sighed secretly. I never thought that a smart person like Rokosovsky could not guess the meaning of my question. I could only explain to him: "If all the settlements occupied by the enemy are The buildings have been blown up, so they can only spend the night in the ruins tonight. You can imagine what would happen if the Germans who lacked winter clothes and thinly-dressed spent the night on the open ground in the severe cold weather here. Case?"

As a future marshal and a famous military strategist, Rokosovsky’s reaction speed is indeed faster than ordinary people. He immediately understood what I wanted to express and said excitedly: "I understand, although they temporarily occupy There are a few settlements, but there is no house for them to hide in to keep warm and avoid the cold. They can only stay in the ruins. In the cold weather here, they should all go to **** before one night. Lida, Don't worry, I will immediately assign a task to General Pliyev, and when the battle starts on your side, I will immediately order his troops to counterattack the residential areas and actively support your attacks."

　　 I put down the phone and ordered Kistyakov, who was standing in front of him, with his eyes shining brightly: "Comrade Colonel, you go to make arrangements and let Grisa hot the car, I will rush to the place where the troops are assembled to see."

　　 Watching Kistyakov leave, I helped the table and sat down. Although I appear confident in front of others, the closer I leave the war, the less at ease I feel. UU read www.uukanshu.com to know that I don’t have a complete plan at all, I don’t know the enemy’s troop deployment, and I don’t even know the situation of my own troops. The subordinates can prepare according to my orders, not to be convinced of my command, but just a habit of obedience developed under strict military discipline.

　　 When my mood calmed down, I hurried back to the camp bed, drew the curtain, took off the uniform skirt, and put on the thick army pants that Kistyakov brought for me. As soon as the change was completed, I heard the colonel calling me at the door of the headquarters: "Comrade Commander, the car is ready, we can set off at any time."

　　 "Come on! Come on!" I ran out while wearing a belt.

　　 just ran to the door and was about to open the curtain to go out. When I heard the phone ringing, I stopped quickly, trying to figure out what was going on. The communications staff on duty stepped forward and picked up the phone, then handed it to me and said: "Comrade Commander, it is a call from General Katukov. He is looking for you in a hurry."

　　 When I heard that it was Katukov who was looking for me, I couldn't help but feel frustrated. I was worried that it might not be something wrong with his tank unit. If you know about the attack tonight, his unit is the main force. I took the microphone and asked nervously, "Hello, Comrade General! What's the matter?"

　　 "Report to Comrade Commander, after the emergency repairs just now, the on-board radios of eight tanks have been repaired. In this way, I can directly command the troops through the radio."

"Great." This is really good news. A problem that bothered me was solved. I smiled happily and immediately said into the microphone loudly: "Comrade General, this is really great! I'll go to you right away." Let’s talk when we meet."
