"General vatukin! After the German army attacked and occupied the crossroads here three days ago, they stopped attacking. They set up strong Fortifications on the opposite side. It seems that they have no intention to continue attacking In the trench, a front-line commander pointed to the battlefield not far away, which had become a piece of ruins. He said to the Moscow city defense commander who came here to inspect: "we tried to investigate there at night, but we were driven back... The other side had about two battalions nearby, and the firepower arrangement was quite ingenious."
Vatukin moved his eyes from the artillery mirror in the trench, where the trench was connected with other places by the water well, which was very hidden. Surrounded by debris and ruins, the view is relatively wide.
At present, any front-line activities of both sides should be careful of the snipers and artillery observation posts of the other side, because once they are present, they may be subjected to all kinds of terrible attacks. The whole battlefield is full of shooters, and there may be mines beside every crater. This is a hell, a hell of difficulty.
"The only reason why the German army didn't attack was that they wanted to wait for us to mess up and then surrender." Watujing looked at the officers who were with him, and went on with his hands behind his back: "the Germans don't want to increase the casualties of their troops when they have won. They are still different from us and care about their own lives."
At this point, he did not have the idea of opening his mouth to continue talking, but with his followers, he walked slowly along the trench not far away. He passed by a dozen Soviet soldiers leaning against the trench with their rifles. These soldiers were listless and didn't mean to stand up to meet their general.
Fatigue and hunger have numbed the defenders here. They have little interest in things that have nothing to do with fighting` These people were sitting there pitifully, and they couldn't move their bodies except for the German attack or the falling of shells.
"Stand up! What do you look like? General watujing personally inspected the position. Don't you hurry up and salute? " A battalion commander at the front line really felt that his soldiers were too loose, so he quickly began to scold them. He went to the front line, hoping that he could make his soldiers stand up and stand at attention, showing more spirit than their ragged appearance.
"Comrade commander... Do you have any extra soldiers to replace them?" Watujing stopped the battalion commander's action, and then he slowly asked the battalion commander, who actually had more than 31o soldiers left in his hand.
The battalion commander was stunned. Then he shook his head dejectedly and said, "Comrade General, I don't have any extra soldiers. Now there are several buildings on the defense line that need to be defended by the Moscow self-defense army. I can't get a reserve team out of my class."
"I'm like you, comrade. I don't have any extra soldiers to support you, so I'm very happy to see that they have a chance to have a rest now. " Watujing looked at the soldiers who were sleeping on the ground together and said helplessly: "only when the German slowed down the attack can we have a chance to rest. This is our chance. We should take it well."
"Yes! Comrade General! I see! " The battalion commander stood at attention, saluted watujing and said, "I will give you a good rest. The next time the Germans attack, we will fight them with the most exciting spirit."
Watujing bypassed the soldiers who were sleeping on the wall of the trench, looked at a hidden machine gun position not far away from them, and looked at the machin heavy machine gun on the sandbag with its wheels removed.
"When shooting with wheels, the shooter is too high, so it's easy for the opponent to suppress... So we took off the wheels, and two soldiers ran with each other when we moved. It's not too slow. '" The commander of this position, who was following watujing, gave an introduction. His hands are basically outdated weapons of this kind. Marchin and moshinagan, even the amount of sand produced in mass production is very limited.
"The soldiers are too hard, our weapons and German weapons, simply can't be compared..." watu Jing regretfully shook his head, opened his mouth to his staff, said: "if there is still stock, try to share it, we don't have to leave anything, right?"
As a matter of fact, he certainly knows that the lack of advanced weapons on the front line is a tolerable problem. The problem that is really troubling the front-line forces is food and ammunition. After the German army encircled Moscow, food began to become precious. Now, because the food supply and Distribution Department in Moscow has collapsed, even a set of statistical and distribution processes no longer exist.
At the beginning, because of the time, they could find all kinds of food, and even get a luxury meal when they were lucky... But now that the siege of Moscow has been fighting for several months, the food available in the whole city is becoming more and more scarce, The problem of food distribution system without supporting management has been highlighted infinitely.
Army level units have begun to raise food by themselves in chaos, not to mention division and regiment level units. They collect and scrape any resources that can be collected nearby, including some shopping malls and any places where food may exist. If the army is still like this, we can imagine the embarrassment of the civilians. Food supply has been cut off in many places, and starvation is common here.
Ammunition is even more difficult. Even if there are only light weapons, the amount of ammunition consumed in the street fighting in Moscow is also a huge number for the Soviet garrison in the city. Although before Moscow fell into siege, everyone began to work hard to accumulate ammunition in the city, but after several months of consumption, there is really not much left. The second armored brigade of Moscow city defense forces only has about half of the ammunition left in the eight tanks with active ammunition. They can't get any supplement. In every battle, we will try our best to lift the ammunition out of the tanks and keep them in the rear, because many tanks will be destroyed and the remaining ammunition can be distributed to others“ Comrade General! I think we can fight to the last moment, but a large number of civilians have no obligation to accompany us to die. " A front-line officer looked at watujing and said to his officer with a full face of hope: "I heard that the German side provides resettlement for refugees and food... We can ask the civilians to hand over the food and then let them take refuge in the German war zone..." watujing nodded after hearing this suggestion, Then he shook his head again: "Comrade Stalin will not agree with this idea, and if we let the civilians go to Germany, how can we count them after the war? According to the law, such people are treason, to be hanged or shot He said with a wry smile: "although we can now ignore the laws of treason, at least we probably won't have to enforce them - but have you ever thought that we still have a large number of" Moscow self-defense forces ". Once the civilians are released, how many of them will be left?" In fact, this is the reason why vatukin really cares about and some of them dare not try to let civilians go, because once the restrictions on civilians are no longer imposed, the Moscow self-defense forces composed of women, children and the elderly may really have nothing left. Watujing knows that the real reason why those people have not collapsed is that there seems to be no way out in front of them. Once there is hope, these people who are civilians will immediately lay down their arms and flee to the German side“ However, comrade general, these civilians have no effect at all. They waste our supplies and food. When the Germans really fight, they will only live on the road and be screened by bullets. " The commander continued: "let them go, at least, let those who are useless leave here." Vatukin was silent. He knew that as a Soviet officer, he should let the civilians who had no fighting capacity leave the city which had become ruins. But he knew that once he gave such an order, in a few hours, the Moscow self-defense forces, which served as a human wall or had some effect, would really fall apart“ I can only give you one suggestion, that is, when the civilians walk to the opposite German position, your troops can not shoot... "Finally, watujing said:" no matter how many things, I have no right to say. " He didn't know how many lives he could save by this order, but he thought he should do something. If he could save the next one, just one more. What he didn't know was that Zhukov was already doing this kind of thing in the southern part of Moscow, where the troops turned a blind eye to the civilians leaving Moscow and allowed the old people and children who were supposed to be the Moscow self-defense forces to seek shelter from the Germans“ Thank you very much! Comrade General! I think it's a great honor for us to be here for our motherland and stand with you to the end. " The officer stood at attention and said to watujing“ no Child... "Watujing looked at the young officer, shook his head and said," for you, living is the most important thing.
