Struggle in Soviet Russia

"Report!"

Just as several border guard officers were discussing the next military action with Merkulov, a wet soldier hurried in from the door of the church. He stood at the door and said loudly.

"Come in," Victor turned his head and glanced, and saw that the soldier was wearing a navy blue National Security People's Committee uniform, and he knew that this was a signal soldier traveling with him.

The soldier ran to Victor quickly, and handed it over with a hard-covered document book in both hands. At the same time, he said: "Comrade Chairman, the latest information from Lublin."

Victor nodded, stretched out his hand to bring the file book, and met the curious gaze of Merkulov and others, opened the leather cover of the file book, looked at the contents, and then, a smile appeared on his face. Face.

"Is there any good news?" Merkulov asked tentatively because of curiosity.

Victor passed the record book over and smiled at the same time: "It's good news. The Poles in the Lublin area accepted the proposal for adaptation and formally joined the People's Army."

Merkulov took the record book over, glanced at the content quickly, a look of a bit fierce face, an expression of surprise appeared in an instant, he closed the record book suddenly, speaking quickly Said: "Since the 27th Infantry Division accepted the reorganization, did Bobanski surrender too? In this way, can we get from him..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a look from Victor. Merkulov hurriedly closed his mouth, turned off the subject and said, "I mean, this is really good news!"

The 27th Infantry Division referred to by Merkulov refers to the 27th Infantry Division of the Polish National Army. The complete designation of this unit should be the 27th National Infantry Division of Volinia. It has always been accepted by Poland. The guerrilla organization under the command of the government in exile is very large, with a team of nearly 8,000 people.

For some time in the past, the Polish army has always been active in the Lublin area, and its main commander is Laren Bobanski.

Of course, the Polish National Army that is active in the Lublin area does not have only one 27th Infantry Division. Other infantry divisions, such as the 3rd and 9th Infantry Divisions, are also active in this area. However, in terms of size and strength, Bobanski's troops are the largest and strongest.

Since the beginning of last year, the Foreign Intelligence Service of the People's Committee of National Security has begun to infiltrate several national guerrillas in Poland, and the Lublin area has been relatively infiltrated. Therefore, this time when the Soviet army was advancing to Lublin, the Polish National Army in the area ceased to obey the orders of the Polish government in exile, and directly changed its flag and joined the Polish People's Army, which was accompanying the Soviet army.

However, the 27th Infantry Division led by Bobanski did not originally belong to the Lublin area. This can be seen from their designation. They were transferred from Volinja, while Bobans basically Man is also a Polish nationalist through and through.

In the past period of time, whether in the Lublin region or the Warren region, the 27th Infantry Division led by Bobanski was a mortal enemy of the Ukrainian resistance. Both sides were Ukrainian nationalist extremists and the other was Ukrainian nationalist extremists. Polish nationalist extremists, therefore, no one can tolerate anyone, and the conflicts between them have never ceased.

Fortunately, although Bobanski is a Polish nationalist, he is not a dead-headed man, nor a big thorn who is not afraid of death. This time, the Polish National Army in the Lublin area changed its flag one after another, especially after the 3rd and 9th Infantry Divisions announced that they would join the People’s Army. Bobanski also gave up his old position and formally joined the Soviet Army. One side.

Why did Merkulov know Bobansky? The fundamental reason is that this person is the target of the Ukrainian rebels offering a reward of 10,000 rubles. This reward is really not low. You must know that the Ukrainian rebels gave Lewandowski the chairman of the Lviv People’s Committee of the Interior. The reward is only five thousand rubles.

Of course, from the amount of this reward, it can be seen that Bobanski must have caused considerable losses to the Ukrainian rebels in the conflicts and conflicts in the past. In other words, this person has certain experience and ability in dealing with the Ukrainian rebels.

"I understand what you mean, Comrade Merkulov," Victor said, taking the record book back and handing it back to the correspondent. "My opinion is that since the 27th Infantry Division is going to retreat to the front line of Vipuri, Then we might as well make a proposal to Moscow to transfer Comrade Bobansky and his 27th Infantry Division to take charge of the suppression of bandits for a period of time."

Lublin was not peacefully liberated before. In the process of the Soviet army advancing in this direction, the local Polish National Army launched an uprising. This wave of uprising was also promoted by the Polish government in exile as part of the so-called "Storm Operation". component.

Speaking of Operation Storm, one has to talk about the so-called "Operation Gate of Dawn". In June, the Poles instigated Operation Gate of Dawn to seize the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, in an attempt to exclude the Soviet Red Army from Lithuania. , Thus creating favorable conditions for the Polish government to control Lithuania after the war.

As a result, the final facts proved that in the face of absolute military strength, any form of conspiracy is meaningless. Under Vilnius, with the arrival of the Soviet forward troops, the Polish national army commanders who commanded the battle on the front line , Turned directly on the battlefield, ignored the command of the Polish government in exile, and joined the Soviet Red Army instead.

The results of Operation Storm were similar. After the Warsaw Uprising paid countless blood prices, the subsequent uprisings that broke out in various places had only one result, that is, the national army in charge of the uprising, most of them turned around and joined the Polish People’s Army. The Polish interim government was abandoned.

Of course, Victor has no interest in the irresponsible stormy operation of the Polish interim government. After all, the Foreign Intelligence Agency had cracked their plan a long time ago. Compared with this kind of meaningless plan of action, Victor is more concerned about it. The problem is the suppression of bandits in West Ukraine.

The idea of ​​using experienced Bobanski to deal with the cunning Kalpenko is somewhat reliable.

"Report!"

Just as Victor was preparing to confess to the correspondent and send a telegram to Lublin in reply, another correspondent appeared at the door of the church.

"Come in," Victor said with a frown.

The correspondent at the door ran in all the way, handed a copy of the same hard-skinned record book to Victor, and said: "Comrade Chairman, a telegram from Svidnik."

Victor nodded, reached out his hand to take the hard-skinned record book, opened the cover, and only glanced at it, the expression on his face turned gloomy.

Svidnik is a small town in the northeast of Lublin. If you look at it on a map, you can't find this place. Even in later generations, this place is not very famous. However, Victor knows very well that this small town is extraordinary, because in this place, there is a famous aircraft factory, the Lublin Aircraft Factory. Before the outbreak of World War II, the light aircraft produced by this aircraft factory was well-known in the world. .

It is precisely because of this that Victor pays great attention to Svidnik. Of course, in Poland, he is not only concerned about Svidnik, but other things such as the Polish Aviation Manufacturing Plant in Warsaw and the Poznan Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. They are all targets of his concern.

In the plan of the People’s Committee for National Defense, these aircraft factories have long been the assets of the Soviet Union, and before that, Victor had also issued orders to the Foreign Intelligence Agency, asking them to cooperate with the Red Army’s offensive and protect those as much as possible. Safety of Polish industrial and mining enterprises on the list.

Previously, in the process of the Soviet army's advance to Warsaw, the protection of enterprises such as the Sederce Machinery Manufacturing Plant was relatively in place, but in Svidnik, the related protection work was seriously frustrated.

According to this information, during the German withdrawal from Lublin, the Lublin Aircraft Factory suffered near-destructive damage. The Germans not only blew up the warehouse of the factory, but also all the workshops. As for Those scientists and technicians were all transferred to the direction of Wroclaw. It is not yet certain where they will be arranged in the end.

This is obviously not good news for Victor, even though he is no longer in charge of the Foreign Intelligence Service.

Putting the record book together and returning it to the correspondent, Victor was silent for a while and said: "Call Lublin back and say that I know it. Let them summarize the details of the destruction of the Lublin Aircraft Factory and form a formal copy. The report was submitted to Moscow."

"Yes, Comrade Chairman!" The correspondent made a record, and after the military salute, he hurriedly left the church.

Dismissed the other signal soldier, Victor turned his head to look at Merkulov, and said, "Comrade Merkulov, please arrange for someone to prepare a room for me. I want to rest for a while."

Merkulov nodded hurriedly. He didn't know what was in the second telegram, but from the content of the call back dictated by Victor, it was obvious that the Lublin Aircraft Factory was destroyed. Although Merkulov is not responsible for related work, he also knows that this Polish-owned aircraft manufacturing company seems to be a company that the Aviation Industry Council attaches great importance to. It is reported that the intention of the Aviation Industry Council is , It seems that it is planning to relocate this enterprise as a whole to the territory of the alliance.

Now that this company has been destroyed, Victor needs to take some responsibilities, no wonder his mood is not very good.
