Chapter 144

I first sat down at the table, then Mr. Lin sat opposite me, and the translator zhe stood behind him. Colonel griazenov stood on my right with his hands on the table, glanced at the map on the table, then looked at me and said, "Comrade oshanina, please tell us about wolokramsk."

I looked at the map in front of me. It was wolos ramsk's map. It was one of the few maps I could understand. I pointed to the east of the city and said, "our division headquarters of the eighth guards division are here." He drew a dotted line between my headquarters and the city with his finger. "I placed the 1073 regiment of lieutenant colonel sherebriavko here and set up a new line of defense to stop the German troops coming out of the city of wolokramsk; The 1075 regiment, led by Colonel chisgakov, as the reserve of the division, took a rest near the division headquarters. " At this point, I stopped for a moment to see that several people were listening to me seriously, and then continued: "the 1077 regiment led by general leviagin and I stayed in the city to deal with the German army, trying to hold back the German army's march towards Moscow. In yesterday's daytime fighting, we used the tactics of surprise attack and encirclement to destroy a small German army unit in the city and captured their commander. "

When it comes to the word "encircling and supporting", I paid special attention to Mr. Lin's reaction. You know, this tactic is his invention! Sure enough, Mr. Lin, who was looking down at the map, listened to Shi Zhe's translation. His eyebrows beat and he suddenly looked up at me. His eyes were full of doubts.

I can guess what he is thinking in his mind. It is clearly his initiative to "surround and help". Moreover, this tactic has not been fully formed at this time. How can foreigners know and know how to use it?

"Where is the 1077 regiment now?" I was in a dilemma about how to face his interrogation when the question from Colonel griazenov relieved me.

I shook my head and replied in embarrassment, "I don't know. Last night, I received a withdrawal order from general rokosovsky, commander of the group army. When I was deploying the troops to withdraw, the German army suddenly launched a heavy shelling on the area where our 1077 regiment was stationed. Because of the emergency, general leviagin asked me to retreat in the dark, but he took the initiative to stay and command the troops, intending to break through the German encirclement from the East and join the troops outside the city. "

"What happened?" It was Mr. Lin who asked this question. Although I understood his words as soon as they came out, I still waited for Shi Zhe to translate Mr. Lin's original words into Russian, and then I replied, "I took dozens of soldiers to run around in the dark, and I found that I came to the station near dawn. I could have jumped out of the enemy's defensive emptiness, but seeing them hanging the remains of our dead comrades on the flagpole, I couldn't control my emotions for a moment, so I ordered to kill several German soldiers guarding the flagpole. As a result, the target was exposed, and the German soldiers were chased all the way into the forest. " At this point, I looked at Mr. Lin again gratefully, and then said softly, "fortunately, we met your armored forces, otherwise we would not escape the end of total annihilation."

"Ha ha," the colonel said with a smile, "you have to thank deputy commander Lin for that. Last night, as soon as the Supreme Command transferred our group army from the reserve to the Western army, general Zhukov immediately gave us an operational order, saying that the defense line was retreating under the strong pressure of the German army, ordering us to enter the designated position as soon as possible at all costs to block the fierce German offensive. After receiving the order, the whole army group immediately took action. Deputy commander Lin went to our division directly from the headquarters of the group army to direct the operation. When he said that we were going to surprise the enemy, he dispatched all the tanks and motorcycles in the division to form a leading battalion to open the way in front, followed by the infantry, and boldly crossed the rear of the German army. We have been marching in the forest to prevent German reconnaissance planes from finding us As he said, he looked at President Lin with his eyes. "If it wasn't for deputy commander Lin's ingenious command, according to the normal procedures in the past, our army should still be in the process of mobilization, not to mention helping you out, it would be a problem whether we could reach the current position."

After listening to the Frank flattery of the colonel, President Lin just said coldly: "the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighters are fleeting. Therefore, the mobilization and mobilization of troops should be fast, and the long-distance penetration attack can play a surprise attack effect." Then he asked me, "I heard that your commander rokosovsky once proposed to Zhukov to withdraw his troops. Do you know where he intends to withdraw his troops?"

"I know." Almost without hesitation, I replied, "the commander intends to withdraw his troops near the Istra River and organize a new line there."

As soon as I finished, the Colonel quickly moved his finger to the Istra River and whispered, "here it is."

Mr. Lin gazed at the position for a long time, then slowly said: "the position of the new defense is well chosen. General rokosovsky's decision is right. There are no troops behind the 16th group army. If the defensive troops are destroyed, the road to Moscow will be opened, which is the enemy's dream. In my opinion, the reservoir itself, the Istra River and its adjacent areas are the best defensive areas. After occupying this area, as long as we use a small number of troops, we can organize a solid defense. In this way, some troops can be put into the second echelon to establish defense in depth, while most troops can be put into other directions. "

"Yes," I said, "I think so, too." President Lin looked at the map and said without looking up: "but with my understanding of general Zhukov, he will definitely stop rokosovsky. He has the responsibility to defend Moscow. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope to hold the position, he will order the troops to remain firm and never allow them to step back without authorization. " In my heart, I secretly praised President Lin for his foresight. Although they may not know Zhukov's sternly worded telegram now, it is true. Even the retreat plan, which was tacitly approved by the supreme commander, was rejected by Zhukov mercilessly.
