Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 48: The smell of war

(Drank too much yesterday, the chapter was sent wrong, and a chapter was missed)

It was early in the morning when the first ray of light at the eastern horizon had just jumped out of the horizon.

In the outskirts of Ye Jinqi in Bessarabia, a formation of dozens of tanks bypassed a vast jungle and advanced quickly in the direction of Ye Jinqi.

Just outside of this jungle, a battle just ended half an hour ago. A small unit of the Romanian First Army tried to prevent the Soviet army from advancing in the direction of Ye Jinqi.

This small unit has less than a hundred people, using old-fashioned rifles, lacking heavy weapons, and not even equipped with a machine gun. Under the impact of the Soviet tanks, their resistance lasted less than twenty minutes.

The corpses in Romanian military uniforms were lying on the rudimentary positions. Their efforts brought losses to the Soviet army. Only a dozen people were injured. Of course, there was a certain consumption of ammunition.

The sacrifices of these Romanian soldiers will not be remembered by anyone. They are buried in the soil like dust, worthless.

Before entering June, Moscow submitted a statement from the Soviet government to the Romanian ambassador. In this statement, the Soviet government issued an ultimatum to the Romanian government, requesting Romania to transfer Bessarabia and the North Bukovina region. A total of more than 50,000 square kilometers of land was transferred to the Soviet Union, on the grounds that this territory originally belonged to Russia, but was stolen by the Romanians after the First World War.

With the issuance of the letter, the Soviet army began to assemble troops quickly to the Romanian border. As of late June, the Soviet army had assembled a total of 630,000 troops in the Romanian border area. The commander of these troops was the commander of the Kiev Special Military Region. Major General Zhukov.

In the first period of June, Romania’s Antonescu was busy gambling with the Royal Council, while declaring that Romania would resolutely resist the Soviet invasion and would transfer the Romanian First Army and Fourth Army to Pisa. Rabia, made a posture of preparing to smash with the Soviet army. At the same time, the Antonescu government also appealed to the League of Nations and the German government for help.

But unfortunately, even though the League of Nations opposed Moscow's threat to Romania, the important members of the League of Nations, Britain, and the German government, all stood on Moscow's side and suggested that Romania meet Moscow's requirements and cede these two territories.

Therefore, Antonescu, who was under pressure at home and abroad, finally made a compromise. Although he verbally called on all Romanians to resist the invasion of the Soviet Union, he secretly ranked first and fourth. The two armies withdrew from Bessarabia.

Therefore, when the Soviet army launched an offensive against Bessarabia with a pincer offensive, a strange situation emerged: the attacking troops encountered only a few small resistances, but they could not find the Romanian army. The workhorse.

Just when the Soviet army formed a large force rushing to Ye Jinqi, in Lviv, hundreds of kilometers away, Victor, who had been sleeping well all night, had just regained his sleep.

An Lina by her side was still asleep, her baby's fat little face was already showing up, with a touch of red. Pulling away the scattered hair on her cheeks, Victor leaned over and kissed her slightly puckered lips before turning over and sitting up.

On the spacious big bed, An Lina’s sleeping position is not very beautiful. Her dark blue skirt is still worn on her body, but the skirt has been shrunk to the waist, the lower part of the body is not yet visible, and there are a few suspicious places. The stain, it was left over from the madness last night.

The towel that had been rolled into a ball was unfolded and covered the unconscious Anrina. Victor picked up his clothes from the ground and put them on his body indiscriminately.

Carrying his military jacket, hat, and briefcase with his right hand, and rubbing his sour neck with his left hand, Victor left the bedroom, walked down the stairs, and entered the living room on the first floor.

"Victor, Victor," a little girl in a pink dress came over, hugged his thigh, looked up at him expectantly, and said, "Next time you come, can you bring me some sweets? I like chocolate with hazelnuts..."

"Don't bother you, Brother Victor, come here quickly," the woman sitting at the table in the living room scolded.

"Well, I will definitely bring it to you next time," Victor said, reaching out and rubbing the top of the little girl's head. "But I must go now, or I will be late for work."

"All right," the girl said, letting go of her hands, "you must bring it to me."

Victor nodded at her, and then said to the woman at the table: "I'm leaving now. Anrina hasn't woken up yet. Let her sleep more."

The woman accompanied the smiling face and said, "Will you leave without breakfast?"

Victor shook his head, said nothing, and walked straight to the door.

On the side of the street outside the door, a brown-green jeep was waiting there. Varenka was leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette. Seeing Victor coming out of the door, he hurriedly dropped the cigarette in his hand and hurried over. , Took the briefcase in Victor's hand.

The two got into the car, and Varenka handed over a thick document and said: "Comrade Captain, this is a secretly signed document from Kiev. Lieutenant Sophia signed for you, and I brought it here for you. "

Victor put aside the military cap in his hand, took the package of documents, and looked at the seal on it-"The Intelligence Division of the Kiev People's Committee of the Interior."

With a smile on his face, he directly tore off the seal, tore open the linen paper outside the package, and pulled out all the thick documents inside.

Some can’t wait to open the top folder, and the top is a directory. Victor brought the catalog and looked at it carefully. The catalog is divided by date. The first entry is "May 10th-May 12th", and the following sub-entries include "German Attack Situation Map", "Damas River Crossing Operation", " "Sedan Fight" and so on.

Yes, this is an intelligence document that Victor applied for from Kiev specifically for reporting. The content is the intelligence content of the German offensive on the Western Front, as well as military analysis of various battles.

Beginning on the 10th of last month, the Germans launched a powerful offensive in Western Europe, including Belgium and Luxembourg. In less than one and a half months, the final battle between the two sides began on the Alsace-Lorraine line. The French, known as the power of the European continent, lost half a million troops in a battle and was completely interrupted. So, just two weeks ago, the Frenchman, who had lost the last bargaining chip and even the last pair of pants, officially announced that he had given up resistance and surrendered to the Germans.

The fall of France, and the fall in a very short period of time, shocked the world. The Germans taught soldiers all over the world a lesson and performed a drama called "Modern War".

In the past few years, the French worked with the British to fan the wind and light ghost fires all over the world, urging this to hit that, and urging that to blow this. As a result, the fire finally burned to themselves, and the whole of France was reduced to Subjugated slave. They also performed a big show for the whole world, and the name of this big show is "How Stupid Raises".

Victor is not interested in the feelings of the French, but he is very interested in the many battles in this war of annihilation, but limited by the lack of information, it is impossible for him to get more records. For this reason, he specially sent a report to Kiev, and he could see that Lieutenant Colonel Serov really gave him face. Today, the things he asked for have finally been delivered.

Putting the file in his hand aside, Victor seemed to think of something. He took a slight breath and turned his gaze out of the car window.

Think about it, in today's Western Europe, except for Switzerland, a permanently neutral country, and the lonely and bruised Britain that has been beaten overseas, all are Germans.

As for the whole of Europe, with the exception of the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, basically all areas are occupied by the Germans or are allies of the Germans. In this way, a very difficult question arises. When Germany, the devouring behemoth, has swallowed almost all the turf that can be swallowed around it, what choice will it make next?

Moscow is naturally aware of this. Therefore, the National Defense Committee has now approved the plan for the construction of the Eastern Defense Line. The report that Victor previously submitted on the construction of fortification areas in Lava and Strumilov, Russia, It was taken out again, and the final approval was obtained.

In order to build the first-line fortification defense line in West Ukraine, Ukraine specially established the Engineering Management Bureau, which cooperated with the Labor Camp Management Bureau of the People’s Committee of the Interior to allocate prisoners and labor. Construction began in May, and overtime construction was planned. area. In addition, the Kiev Special Military Region also specially mobilized 30 infantry corps and division engineer battalions to participate in the construction of the entire defense line.

But a key issue is that although personnel and labor are not scarce, there is a shortage of various materials used to build the fortification area. In addition, transportation tools and construction machinery are also quite scarce. These are to a large extent. It dragged down the progress of the project.

The memory of the previous life told Victor that it was less than a year before the brutal battle between the Soviets and Germany. Although the main target of the Germans was the stubbornly resisting Britain across the English Channel, intelligence showed that a large number of The German Wehrmacht is moving to the eastern region in batches, along with a large number of military supplies including tanks and artillery.

In this summer, the thick clouds of war have actually begun to spread across the Soviet-German border. In places far away from the Soviet Union’s borders, ordinary people may not feel this. However, as a member of the People’s Committee of the People’s Committee of the Interior in the border area, Victor said this. The feeling is quite deep.
