Struggle in Soviet Russia

"boom!"

A huge explosion seemed to appear close at hand. At that moment, Victor felt the soles of his feet numb, and then his back felt like he was hit with a sledgehammer, and his mind went blank for a moment. , The whole person is like a paper kite in a hurricane, without knowing where to go.

At that moment, it was as long as tens of thousands of years. After the momentary blankness in his mind disappeared, he felt as if countless bells and whistles were stuffed into his ears, all kinds of strange sounds kept ringing, at the same time , Both eyes seemed to be dilated pupils, and the surrounding light was abnormally dazzling.

He was lying flat on the ground, and his eyes could see the densely clouded sky, oh, that was not a thick cloud, yes, it was thick smoke, billowing thick smoke.

Suddenly, a dirty face of melon seeds appeared in front of him, blocking the view of the sky. Victor thought this face seemed a bit familiar, who was it? He tried his best to turn his mind, trying to associate this face with the name within his reach, but he couldn't concentrate.

The two **** plump lips on this face kept opening and closing, obviously saying something, but Victor couldn’t hear anything. He turned his head and wanted to look around, but he felt himself. Can't control the neck at all.

Guzi's face disappeared in front of his eyes, and Victor gave up his plan to look around again. He felt tired, and just wanted to just lie on the ground and sleep for a while. But a little strange, his body seemed to float up, and the thick smoke in the sky seemed to float in another direction.

Suddenly, he felt his body sway again, and he appeared so abruptly on a person's back. This time he could finally see the surrounding scenes. It was really a hell, with ruined walls everywhere... ...

At this moment, the sharp pain suddenly struck, and it made Victor's dizzy brain instantly wake up, and the messy noise in his ears turned into a stinging tympanic hum. A hot vomit rose from his chest, and Victor didn't have time to react. He just opened his mouth and vomited a wow of blood, all sprayed on the neck of the man in front of him.

But the man seemed to feel nothing. He still ran wildly through the burning ruins with his back on his back, until he hid behind a half-collapsed wall. The man stopped and put him in the corner of the wall. This was when he sat slumped on the ground and gasped... the person turned out to be Olica.

Victor leaned against the wall, stretched his legs as far as possible, and tilted his neck back to allow air to enter his chest more easily.

After taking a few breaths like this, he finally felt that he was alive again. Even though he was hurting everywhere, he felt pain, which was not a bad thing sometimes.

After resting for a while, Victor supported the wall with his arms and tried to get himself up. In order to increase the friction, he even spread his hands and pressed his palms against the wall.

"Comrade Major, you are injured, don't move," Olica seemed to be relieved too, she squatted on the ground, reaching out and pressing Victor's shoulder.

"I'm fine," Victor said, holding her hand back, shaking his head, "We must get back to the headquarters as soon as possible."

This is Vyazma. Just half an hour ago, the Germans suddenly launched a large-scale air strike against the city. Victor had just returned from the 43rd Army Command, and it was unfortunate that he greeted the bombing.

Just now, a bomb exploded just eight or nine meters away from him, and his whole person was lifted out. It is God blessed him not to be killed on the spot.

In the end, Victor stood up under Olica’s support. He tried to walk for two steps. Although some of the center of gravity was unstable and swaying, there was no problem walking, and Olica checked him. After a while, the weird thing is that apart from two bruises on his body, there are no other injuries.

The two staggered out of the hiding place and returned to the street. At this time, the German bombing was not over yet, and the air defense position was set up on the roof of a building not far away, and the air defense artillery fired frantically against the sky. But facts have proved that the best way to deal with the air force is to use the air force. Although the anti-aircraft guns are effective, they have little effect.

The jeep in which Victor was riding was destroyed, and the two could only walk to the headquarters set up in the old city hall. This headquarters refers to the headquarters of the 43rd Army. Today it is Lieutenant General Seleznev who is carrying him. On the day when the field commander organization came to Vyazma, the field commander organization of the 43rd Army led by Lieutenant General Kurochkin had been disbanded on the spot in Kirov.

Today Victor came to Vyazma to meet with Lieutenant General Seleznev, because he has received an order from the Western Front Army Command to temporarily hand over the independent special artillery company to the command of the 43rd Army. Increase the defensive force in the direction of the Desna River. Who knew that he had just arrived in Viazma, the German bomber gave him this welcome ceremony and almost sent him away directly.

Although the German bombing has not yet ended, the firefighters in the city have begun to fight fires everywhere, but the entire Vyazma firefighter has only six fire trucks, which is simply too busy. Fortunately, when the Battle of Smolensk failed, the citizens here were evacuated to the rear, so the casualties were not too great.

After walking only a hundred meters against the corner of the street, Victor felt a surge of vomiting, but he wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit. He felt that he should have a slight concussion, but he was not very sure.

After holding on for a while, Olica finally stopped a passing jeep, which was regarded as an end to Victor's suffering.

In the group army headquarters of the Old City Hall, Lieutenant General Seleznev was scolding his mother. The Germans prepared him for this extraordinary welcome ceremony. This grumpy general was very annoyed. He applied for support from the air force of the front. The answer that Bian gave was "I can't do anything."

The air force of the Front Army is indeed powerless. They have suffered heavy losses in recent battles. The limited aircraft still needs to be used in key places. How can they be willing to use them to fight against the large-scale German air strikes, not to mention the air strikes. Empty city.

In the headquarters, Victor did not mention that he almost lost his life, but directly went through the procedures for the handover of the troops with the chief of staff of the group army. Today, the independent special artillery company is still in Mozhaisk, and it takes time to move up.

According to Seleznev’s plan, the independent special artillery company will cooperate with the independent tank brigade commanded by Colonel Alexei Grigorievich Rokin to launch an operation against the German forces in the area south of Kirov. Assault-Colonel Luo Jin is not a simple role. In the history of Victor's past life, this person was a lieutenant colonel before the outbreak of the war and served as the commander of a tank regiment. He was promoted after the outbreak of the war. It was like riding on the Rockets. By 1944, he had become an admiral.

In the dusty command post that was shaken by the explosion, a dozen people, including the staff of the group army, gathered in front of a large map, analyzing the current situation of the German offensive and their next main attack direction. What position.

Although the current 43rd Group Army is the organization of the group army, in fact, there is only one slightly complete division among the subordinate units, and the remaining three divisions are all remnants. Not only is there a shortage of soldiers, but also a lack of equipment. In other words, what Selezneov and his staff need to do is to use the strength of this division to defend a section of the line of defense with a width of 25 to 30 kilometers in front of Kirov. In the eyes of anyone, this It is an impossible task.

But something outrageous happened here. His predecessor, Lieutenant General Kurochkin, did it. They have been here for nearly a week. The German 4th armored cluster on the opposite side was like a laxative, except for air strikes. In addition to wave after wave of shelling, and the fierce firepower, its attack on the Soviet defense line showed little power. This is also the reason why the battle of Yaltsovo-Yelnia has been dragged to this day.

Everyone, including the front army and front-line combat troops, knows that something went wrong with the Germans, but it is hard to tell where the problem lies. Some people speculate that the German front may be too long to keep up with logistical supplies, so the armored forces' offensive cannot be sustained. Others speculate that the Germans may be adjusting their deployment to prepare for a new round of offensive.

During this period of time, the front army will issue orders from time to time to require the front-line combat troops to catch more "tongues" in order to figure out what the Germans are doing, but unfortunately, no results have been achieved.

Next to the map, Victor's gaze flashed across Yelniya, all the way south, toward Gomel in the lower reaches of the Propyat River. He believed that if nothing else, the German 4th Armored Group should have gone south. Considering that the German offensive in the direction of Kirov and Yelnya was very weak in the past week, the elite armored unit of the German army should have turned around a week ago and headed south. Estimate the itinerary. They should have passed by now. After leaving Gomel, he went out to Ukraine.

Victor endured and endured in his heart, but in the end he did not control his mouth. He reached out his hand and pointed at Gomel's location, and said, "I believe that the main German force in front of Yelnya Kirov is no longer there. The original location is now, and they are likely to have gone to the direction of Gomel."

"Gomel? What are they doing there?" Someone asked in surprise. Then, maybe he realized that it was ridiculous, and he added with a smile, "Could it be to go to the swamp there... .."

This supplementary sentence was not finished, it was like being stuck in the throat, and it was abruptly broken there.
