Chapter 140

Due to Zhukov's intervention, the withdrawal order of rokosovsky was less than ten minutes and had to be cancelled. As soon as I put off the phone, leviagin asked me what to do next?

I tried hard to think back to the plot in the movie. When Zhukov forcibly cancelled the withdrawal order, I couldn't remember what kind of situation the 16th army would face. But one thing is certain, that is, in the face of the German army's strong offensive, the whole defense line moved to Moscow little by little.

My heart beat violently at the thought that the Soviet army was defeated by the German army, and the situation of us surrounded by the German army was worrying. I squeezed out a smile to leviagin and said difficultly, "first try to drag the German army in the city and consume them a lot. Then we are taking the opportunity to break through."

The general noticed the change in my expression and had no choice but to say: "the enemy's strength is too strong and tenacious, which is beyond our imagination. What we can do now is to find a way to delay the enemy here as long as possible and delay their advance to Moscow." With these words, he turned and yelled at the busy officers, "where is the communication officer?"

As he called, a second lieutenant ran up to us and stood at attention. Leviagin told him frankly, "contact the troops outside immediately to see how the war is going."

In less than five minutes, the result of the battle was in front of me. Judging from the results of the battle, the immature siege was remarkable. It destroyed 10 German tanks and armored vehicles, killed more than 270 German soldiers and captured 40 people, including a major Tolman.

"What time is it?" After reading the war report, I raised my head and asked Levi king.

He raised his wrist, glanced at the time above and replied, "three o'clock."

I stood up, waved my hand and said, "let's go and have a look outside before it's dark." Then he took the lead and went out.

Following me and leviagin were lieutenant Ramis and a dozen soldiers, and we walked along the narrow road with debris in the middle. From the beginning of the early morning fighting to now, only seven or eight hours later, this area has been covered with shocking bodies, and the streets are full of bullet holes. We walk on the road, no one speaks, we are quietly thinking about their own thoughts. The psychological impact of bloody battle needs time to adjust the mentality.

The ruins and debris on both sides of the road make the originally not spacious streets narrower. The more you go forward, the more corpses there are on the ground. In the street between several buildings, the remains of German tanks and armored vehicles are burning. You can feel the heat from a long distance. Because the battle has just ended, and the search for the remnant enemy continues, the remains of our soldiers and the bodies of the German army are lying there intact, with guns and ammunition scattered everywhere.

"We can't go any further, sir." More than ten steps away from the burning tank, leviagin suddenly grabbed the front and stopped me. He said with some worry: "the battle has just ended, and the remnant enemy has not been eliminated. If we go further, we may encounter cold attack from the German army."

In order not to worry him, I stopped and said to him, "OK, let's go back." Then he bent down and picked up a submachine gun on the ground, turned around and went back.

After going out for a walk, I learned one thing: no wonder street fighting is so difficult. It turned out that due to the limitation of the terrain, after the buildings on both sides were blown up, the falling stones made the originally narrow streets narrower, and the German tanks and armored vehicles could not boast as they did on the plain. Once the vehicle in front is destroyed, the road of the vehicle behind is completely blocked, and it can only be stopped there to be slaughtered.

As night fell and the battlefield was completely silent, leviagin and I went back to the headquarters to discuss the battle plan for tomorrow. However, after a short talk, the two of US continued to stick to the existing area, or boldly intruded into a new place to harass the German army, resulting in a fierce dispute.

We were red faced with arguments, and we all tried to convince each other with our own views, hoping that our own views could be adopted in the final deployment. The officers standing next to them kept silent. Maybe they thought it was useless to express their opinions, so they just kept silent.

Later, it occurred to me that when I was in a dispute with leviagin, I forgot my teacher status. I could use my power to force him to obey. Although so many German troops were wiped out here in the daytime, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the same victory as today's tomorrow. So the best way is to move to a new place overnight, seize the gap of the German army and beat them hard.

Just when we couldn't get any results in our argument, rokosovsky's phone call helped me out in time. I picked up the receiver, and before I could speak, he could not wait to say: "Rita, I just received information, and the German forces have assembled new forces in your direction. Maybe they will attack you after dawn. So I order you to act immediately and withdraw from the city at all costs. Do you understand? "

I said with some embarrassment: "the 1077 regiment is distributed in many places. It is difficult to gather and break through overnight."

"You are a pig!" For the first time, rokosovsky scolded people: "since there is no time to gather, it's better to disperse and break through. If you delay any longer, you will be completely encircled by the German army, and it will be too late to break through at that time. "“ Is this the way to give up the city? " I asked reluctantly. The commander slowed down and said, "yes, there are too few troops in your city. If you encounter another attack or two, the whole army will be annihilated. So I order you to withdraw immediately, regroup your troops outside the city, and then build a defense line. You must stop the enemy."“ Yes Now that I have said that, I can no longer express my objection, but I can only obey orders. Putting off the phone, I said to leviagin, who was arguing with me just now: "the commander just gave us an order to break through the siege overnight, regroup outside the city and build a new defense line. Let's pass on the task immediately. " My order had just been sent to the troops below by telephone. The staff of the headquarters and I were preparing to leave here when there was a loud explosion outside. The floor under our feet was shaking slightly in the huge explosion“ Damn it When we were at a loss, we didn't know who yelled: "the German army fired at us at night."“ Don't panic Leviagin's voice immediately rang out: "all in accordance with the order just issued, immediately launch a breakthrough."“ Yes They agreed, and then they rushed out.
