Burning Moscow - Chapter 1674

Cui Kefu has already said this, and I understand in my heart that even if he proposes to return to the headquarters of the group army, he will continue to chase the fighting troops ahead after arranging manpower to **** me back. Thinking of this, I can only bite the bullet and say: “Yes, General Cui Koff, how can we as commanders show panic in front of the subordinates? We should stay with our soldiers in order to achieve unity of the military spirit. The effect of boosting morale.”

“See, Comrade Military Commissioner?” Cui Kefu said proudly to his military commissioner: “Even the deputy commander of the Front Army is not afraid of danger. What else is terrible about you? Let’s go, we will protect your safety.”

Although Cui Kefu’s words contained ridicule, Pronin still blushed and said helplessly: “Well, Comrade Commander, since you said that, then I will accompany you to the front.”

After reaching an agreement, we moved forward again along the road. After walking for two or three kilometers, I saw a tank and two armored vehicles parked on the side of the road, and a group of soldiers surrounded the tank. I was taken aback at first, thinking that I had encountered a German armored unit, but after seeing that the tank was our tank, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I looked at the commander who was standing next to the tank talking, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar I became. When I was about ten meters away from him, I finally saw who the other party was and hurriedly shouted: “Stop!”

After the driver of the armored vehicle stopped the car, he turned his head and looked at me in surprise, while Cui Kefu also asked curiously: “Lida, what are we doing here?”

“General Cui Kefu, I met an acquaintance. I will go down and say hello to him.” After I said, I opened the hatch and bent over and got out of the armored vehicle.

I walked quickly to the commander next to the tank. The soldiers beside him tried to block my way for a while. After seeing the military rank on my shoulders, I immediately flashed aside, stood at attention, with my head high and my hands raised. Salute me.

“Hello, General Babajanyan.” When there were two or three steps to the commander, I stopped and said loudly to him: “Long time no see, how are you?”

The officer who was assigning tasks to his subordinates, hearing my voice, turned his head and looked at me blankly. After a while, the other party suddenly exclaimed: “So it’s you, the deputy commander of the front army!” After speaking, he immediately turned around, straightened his body, and raised his hand to his forehead, “The 11th Guards Tank Corps Commander Major General Babajanyan reports to you…”

Before he could finish, I stepped forward and grabbed his hand, pulled it down from my forehead, and shook it vigorously after holding it. “General Babajanyan, I haven’t seen him for a long time. You are now a commander of the army.” “

Babajanyan grinned and said to me: “Comrade Deputy Commander, you are still the best. You are all generals. It is estimated that after we take Berlin, you will be a general.”

“Lida, who is this general?” Cui Kefu walked to my side, looked at Babajanyan and asked, “Can you introduce me?”

“This is Major General Babajanyan,” I said to Trikov with a smile: “It used to be the commander of the 20th Guards Mechanized Brigade, now the commander of the 11th Guards Tank Corps, and a subordinate of General Katukov. “

After hearing what I said, Cui Kefu also stepped forward and held Babajanyan’s hand tightly, and asked with some excitement: “Comrade General, it seems that the tanks that just saved us should be your subordinates?”

After Babajanyan heard this, his face showed a confused expression. Upon seeing this, an officer next to him hurriedly approached his ear and whispered a few words. After listening to the officer’s whispers, Babajanyan nodded and replied, “Yes, General Cuikov. I happened to have a dozen tanks refueling there at the time. Hearing the sound of gunfire, I went straight into the battle. , I just got their report just now.”

“Where is your vanguard currently?” After a simple greeting, Cui Kefu cut directly to the subject.

Babajanyan took a map from the staff officer, holding one end for himself and the staff officer, and said to Trikov after unfolding: “Our vanguard is working with a regiment of the 79th Guards Infantry Division. The mining area launched an offensive.”

I leaned over and took a look. The place Babajanyan said was no more than five kilometers away from where we were. I immediately thought that since the combat troops were not far away, Cuikov would definitely rush back.

The development of the matter really did not exceed my expectations. After Babajanyan finished speaking, Cuikov nodded, and then said: “Since our troops are not far from here, I will rush over to take a look.”

Babajanyan glanced at our convoy and saw an armored vehicle and five trucks full of fighters. He nodded and said, “From here to Sadkovice, there is no established German army. The troops, even if there are some stragglers, they can’t pose any threat to you.”

On the next journey, what we saw was indeed the same as Babajanyan said, and no further encounters with the formed German troops. On the contrary, we continue to see depressed German soldiers being escorted out of the forest or scattered wooden houses on the roadside under our **** by our soldiers.

Of the soldiers who escorted the prisoners, there were fighters with submachine guns and assault rifles, but there were also many people who looked like logistics personnel. I even saw a female hygienist, holding a small pistol in her hand, and escorting three German soldiers along the road. The numb-faced German soldiers raised their hands high above their heads, honestly. Go ahead on the ground.

Seeing this situation, Pronin couldn’t help laughing. He shouted to Cui Koff: “Comrade Commander, it seems that the Germans are really bad. Our logistics staff and even a female hygienist can capture a few prisoners alone. .”

“Yes,” Cui Kefu said while looking outside with a smile on his face: “The Germans have no fighting spirit. It is only a matter of time before they can be completely defeated.”

Our convoy drove a further distance and then stopped again. Major General Wakin, the commander of the 79th Guards Division, ran to our car and asked in a bit of surprise: “Comrade Commander, why did you come to the forefront?”

“Let’s take a look,” Cui Kefu got out of the car and shook hands with the other party, and asked with concern: “How is the situation now?”

“The troops are advancing smoothly. The reconnaissance teams have already arrived on the front line of Sadkovice, Trembachev, and Ljubanya.” After Vakin reported the situation, he said to Cuikov a little anxiously: “Commander Comrades, you should leave here as soon as possible. It is only 500 meters away from the fighting place. If the enemy discovers your convoy and a few shells pass by, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Cui Kefu turned around, raised his chin at the prisoners escorted by our soldiers, and continued: “Comrade Wakin, there are many remaining enemies behind you.”

Wakin glanced at the prisoners and replied: “I have interrogated a few prisoners. They were all withdrawn from the Vistula River. Because they lost contact with their superiors and couldn’t figure out the situation on the battlefield, they waited for them. I rushed here exhausted and wanted to join my army and take a good rest, only to find that this place has become the rear of our army, full of luggage, cooking carts and military supplies warehouses. They are in the barn. After hiding in haystacks and forests for a while, I felt that there was no hope to cross the line of defense and return to them, so I obediently walked out of the hiding place and surrendered to us.”

When Wakin was reporting to Cuikov, I couldn’t help thinking: In the early days of the Great Patriotic War, the Germans captured hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops at every turn in major battles. Perhaps the situation of the Soviets at that time was exactly the same as the Germans now. Right. They are all running out of ammunition and food, desperately desperate, and have lost their organizational system. Resistance has become meaningless at this time, so they can only lay down their weapons and surrender to their enemies.

Pronin waited for Trikov and Wakin to finish talking, and asked him for instructions: “Comrade Commander, where shall I go next?”

Hearing this question from Pronin, Cui Kefu couldn’t help frowning. It seems that he is also considering where we can go next. Going further to the west is obviously impossible, so we will directly break into the German defense zone. With our strength, it will give the Germans a head.

But fortunately, Vagin took the initiative to say to Trikov: “Comrade Commander, you can go east along the fork in front of you, where you can see the headquarters of the 1st Guards Tank Army, and General Kazakov is there. Command the battle.”

Hearing that Kazakov’s headquarters was nearby, Trikov immediately became excited: “It’s great, this is really great. I didn’t expect General Kazakov to move so fast that he actually rushed in front of us. Since this is the case, let’s go and see him.”

We met Katukov in a small house east of Novumia Stowe. After giving us a hug one by one, he asked curiously: “General Cui Kefu, why did you come to the front?”

Cui Koff smiled at him, and asked, “General Katukov, aren’t you also on the front line like us?”

Katukov waved his hand and said: “I am in a different situation from yours. I am commanding a tank army. Even if I encounter one or two small German troops, I can easily deal with them. But you, without me. Such a good defensive ability, if it is attacked by the enemy, it is easy to cause serious problems.”

As soon as he finished speaking, I quickly turned away from the subject and asked, “General Katukov, where are your troops now?”

“The troops of the 11th Guards Tank Corps are here cooperating with the 79th Guards Infantry Division to launch an offensive against the Germans.” Katukov pointed to the map on the table and explained to us: “In addition, my mechanized army, In the area along the Rawa-Mazowiecka highway, cooperate with the 29th Guards Infantry Corps to attack the enemy’s defensive positions.”

When Trikov found out that Katukov was staying here and was learning about the situation of his own troops, he exchanged information with each other, and finally offered to say: “General Katukov, since we are all here to understand the situation of the frontline troops. , Then might as well go to the Rawa-Mazowiecka area together to get an on-the-spot understanding of the fighting situation there. What do you think?”

“I agree.” Katukov immediately agreed with Cuikov’s proposal: “After I have finished my work, I will set off with you.”

When we set off again, there were two more tanks in the convoy. One was driven by Katukov himself, and the other was escorted us. Since these two tanks are the last remaining t-5455 tanks in the army, the safety factor of the fleet during the driving process is greatly improved. As long as we don’t encounter more than five tanks, we are not in any danger.

Our convoy successfully arrived in the village of Pukkinen, where we found the joint headquarters of the 29th Guards Infantry Corps and the Mechanized Army. From the reports of the two army commanders, I knew that the fighting was unfolding in the Rawa-Mazowiecka area south of the village. However, under the strong offensive of our army, the German defense line has collapsed, and the enemy is withdrawing from the battle one after another.

After listening to the report, Cuikov turned to look at Katukov and asked, “Comrade General, do you have anything to explain?”

Katukov waved his hand and said: “It is your infantry who is in charge of the main attack. My troops are just cooperating with you in the fight. You should issue the next combat mission.”

After receiving Katukov’s authorization, Trikov said to General Shemenkov, commander of the 29th Guards Army: “Comrade Commander, since the enemy has already defeated, then you immediately concentrate your forces and launch an offensive against Brzezny. , We must smash the German defense in this area in the shortest possible time.”

After giving Shemenkov an order, Trikov called a communications staff officer and told him: “Comrade staff, immediately send a telegram to the group army headquarters, saying that our army has successfully occupied the New Miasto area. To command the troops well, the commander should immediately move to the area of ​​Nova Miasto.”

Seeing that the battle on the front line went so smoothly, I felt that I should immediately report what I saw to Zhukov from UU reading www.uukanshu.com, so I asked Shemenkov: “Comrade commander, your phone number here. , Can you directly contact the front army headquarters?”

Shemenkov shook his head quickly and replied: “I’m sorry, Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front Army, my phone can only be contacted with the headquarters of the Group Army on the left and right wings, and I cannot establish contact with the headquarters of the Front Army for the time being.”

“What, your phone can get in touch with the troops on the left and right wings?” Trikov heard Shemenkov’s words and immediately ordered him: “Immediately connect me to the assault 5th Army and the 69th Army. I want to talk to two friendly forces. Call from the commander.”

After some conversations, we finally figured out the current battlefield situation. The assault on the 5th Army is progressing smoothly, capturing Biała-Lavska and preparing to continue the attack. The 69th Army of the left wing made slow progress, and its vanguard troops had achieved limited results, and they had fallen far behind the 8th Army of the Guards. Although viewed from the map, the left wing of the offensive arrow was recessed, but it did not have any bad effect on the battle situation.
