Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 444: night raid

The Danube River in the middle of the night is like a stream of fire. Standing on the bank of the river, overlooking this quiet river, the sparkling river surface has been dyed red by fire. From time to time, you can see debris floating on the river surface. Corpse or something.

In today's Budapest city, it is difficult to find an intact building. Before, although Rokossovsky proposed to let Victor go to the ancient city of St. Andre, 20 kilometers away from the city, to rest, but was He refused. After all, he was the representative of the base camp who came to supervise the battle. With such an identity, he hid in the back far away. It was really ugly to say what he said.

On the bank of the river is Comrade Rokossovsky's forward command post. Yes, because of the anxious situation, the expected combat purpose has never been achieved. Comrade Rokossovsky, who was anxious to get angry, left as early as three weeks ago. Under his own front field commander organization, with only a few staff officers and communication personnel, he took the risk of moving the command post to the urban area.

Across the river, on the other side of the river is the Kossuth Square, which was bombed into ruins. The famous Hungarian Parliament Building is located on this square. Now, this building was built in 1896 and used 1 million precious stones to build it. The magnificent buildings formed were also bombed into ruins.

In a tent near the river bank, Victor, wrapped in a military coat, sat expressionlessly beside a stove made of oil barrels, looking intently at a document in his hand.

Although this area, including the Kossuth Square opposite, is now under Soviet control, Rokossovsky is still worried that Germans will infiltrate. Therefore, near Viktor's tent, there are A large number of Soviet soldiers were responsible for the security work, and even two patrol boats were parked at the temporary pier on the river.

The document in Viktor's hand comes from the Berlin intelligence station lurking in Germany. The intelligence team has now resumed work and is passing important information to Moscow.

The content of the document is related to Ukrainian nationalists, to be precise, it is related to the leader of the Ukrainian resistance army, Stepan Bandera.

Since the alliance launched a large-scale bandit suppression operation in Western Ukraine, a large number of Ukrainian resistance leaders have either been killed or captured by the Soviet army, and those who are well-informed and have a way out, they chose to escape early, just like Stepan Bandera, as well as another head of the organization, Yaroslav Stetsko.

According to the intelligence sent back by the Berlin intelligence station, the two men showed up in Munich a month ago. They received strong support from the Germans and formed the so-called "headquarters" of the Ukrainian resistance army in Munich.

In addition, what is currently emerging in Munich is not just a "Ukrainian resistance army", what are the so-called "Bulgarian National Front", "Belarus Central Committee", "Georgian National Organization", etc., a series of anti-Soviet The extreme right and the fascist nationalist organizations have all gathered in Munich.

According to information obtained by the Berlin Intelligence Station, these groups are planning to unite to form a so-called "anti-Bolshevik state group", which will be Stepan Bandera and Jaroslavl Stetsko. The leader, of course, really stood behind them, or in the dying Germans.

Of course, although these people have stubborn extreme right-wing ideology, they are not fools. The Germans' defeat is so obvious, they can naturally see it, and choosing to be buried with the Third Reich is obviously not in line with their affairs. Logic, therefore, on the one hand, these people made a gesture of sincerely cooperating with the Germans to fight the Soviet Union together, but on the other hand, they were all looking for a way back and preparing to flee from Germany.

The Berlin intelligence station had obtained unreliable information from an informant that both Stepan Bandera and Yaroslavl Stetsko were preparing to go into exile in France, which was now under the control of the British and American allied forces. Occupy, they obviously intend to use the cover of Britain and the United States to escape the pursuit of the alliance.

In addition, the Berlin intelligence station also learned the whereabouts of Ante Pavelic, this guy is also in Munich, and is preparing to go into exile in South America.

Ante Pavelic is not someone who is eager for Moscow to get rid of it. It is the Yugoslavs who really want to kill this guy. Comrade Tito is now looking for this guy all over the world.

As Prime Minister of the Independent State of Croatia and leader of the terrorist group Ustasa, Ante Pavelic was known for massacres of Serbs during the war, and in his so-called Independent Croatian State alone, he He slaughtered more than 600,000 Serbs, for which he became Yugoslavia's public enemy number one.

Stepan Bandera and Yaroslavl Stetsko are definitely the nationalists that the alliance wants to kill the most at the moment, but these two guys are very cautious, and they will immediately get rid of any trouble. They fled, and now they have run to Munich, unless they use assassination, otherwise, the alliance will have no way to deal with them.

And if you want to use the means of assassination, you must use the power of the Berlin intelligence station. Victor knows very well that it will threaten the survival of the intelligence station, and the risk is too great.

Although he attached great importance to his performance in front of Comrade Stalin, Viktor was not the kind of unrealistic person. He had no interest in using other people's lives as a ladder for him to climb up. On the issue of people, he would rather do nothing than let the Berlin intelligence station take the risk of assassinating.

After reading the document carefully, Victor reached out and took out the pen in his pocket, and made a review instruction at the bottom of the document. When he was about to close the document, he heard somewhere not far away, suddenly. There was an explosion.

The sound seemed to be very close, and Victor's ears were buzzing. In an instinct, he stood up from the chair with a swish, ignoring the coat slipping off his shoulders, and walked quickly. Go to the tent door.

Outside the tent, there was a brief commotion in the camp. Victor quickly stepped onto the river bank, looked around, and saw that a fire was rising in the northwest direction of the camp, and a figure was shaking nearby.

Victor waited and watched for a while, thinking about going over to check the situation, when he heard the sound of rumbling cannons on the southeast side of the other side of the river, and there were also gunshots that were as dense as fried beans.

Because the distance is not very far, the sound is very clear, and, judging from the intensity of the gunfire, this is obviously not a small-scale exchange of fire.

Turning his head and looking in the direction of the sound, Victor knew very well that that was where the Buda Palace was located. In other words, the surrounded German and Soviet troops exchanged fire.

The corners of his lips curved, Victor pondered, it should be the words he said before, which gave Rokossovsky enough pressure, so the 2nd Ukrainian Front launched an offensive overnight.

While this thought was spinning in his mind, Victor saw a Soviet soldier running quickly under the embankment, and beside the soldier, he followed Varenka with a military coat in his hand.

Swapping the document in his left hand into his right, Victor walked over to meet the two of them. When the two were still a few steps away, Victor saw the soldier stop, and after giving him a military salute, he said loudly. : "Comrade Chief, Comrade Commander, please go to the headquarters."

Victor nodded, handed the document in his hand to Varenka, took the coat from him, followed behind the soldier, and walked in the direction of the headquarters.

Rokossovsky's headquarters is also a big tent. Compared with Viktor's tent, the only difference is that this tent is larger and has a camouflage net on the top.

Following the soldiers to the tent where the headquarters is located, when Victor opened the door and walked in, he saw that all the people who accompanied him to the Eagle Mountain for inspection not long ago were present, but the expressions on everyone's faces were tense and a little nervous. Divide joy.

"Victor, the Germans have broken through!" Rokossovsky had obviously been waiting for Victor to come, and at this moment, seeing him appear at the door of the tent, he immediately raised his voice.

Victor was stunned for a moment. He had thought that Rokossovsky had arranged the attack, but he did not expect that the attack was initiated by the Germans in the encirclement.

Although there is no military talent, Victor still understands why the people present are so happy. There is no doubt that the Germans in the encirclement are bound to lose. The strength of the two sides and the ratio of weapons are too different. Disparity.

If these tens of thousands of German troops can stay in the encirclement, it will not be easy for the Soviets to completely annihilate them. At least to take them in three days, the Soviets need to pay enough. of.

But now the situation is different, these Germans did not think about being killed here, they thought about breaking out at this time.

You know, this siege has been fought for more than 100 days. In the past few months, these stubborn guys have been implementing Berlin's order - defend the position and never retreat. Now, now, the battle has reached At this level, they actually want to break through.

Before, if the Soviet army wanted to destroy the besieged German army, they needed to seize the positions that the Germans were holding fast. Now, if the German army wants to break through the siege, the offense and defense of both sides will be changed. The Germans need to try their best to attack the Soviet army. Strictly guarded the position, there is no doubt that this is definitely a rare opportunity for the Soviet army.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Soviet army did not hold back, the Germans in the encirclement succeeded in breaking through and escaped, then at least Budapest was liberated. There is nothing wrong with that.
