In the early days of the war, Volkov's Southwestern Front was the only force that was able to hold its ground and launch a counterattack to annihilate the Germans on a large scale. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 This unit is not complete, and there is almost no difference from other units in terms of equipment and quality, the only difference is that it is supported by an armored division, which is well equipped, well-trained, and invulnerable to the aircraft, giving the enemy great damage. However, the Supreme Command suddenly sent a new military commander, Marshal Budyonny, to take command, but this marshal's command ability was completely incompatible with his title. After arriving in Kiev, the first action was to declare that 'not a single step back is allowed', and the second order was to transfer the 6th and 12th armies to the Southern Front for support. This is tantamount to leaving the Southwestern Front without any reserves. In addition, because the Southern Front and the Western Front were defeated, the Southwestern Front led by Volkov suddenly rose up, which was equivalent to almost encircling him by the enemy.
If Volkov had been in the past, he would have made a big fuss, but this time he tried his best to persuade the marshal, but he still couldn't let him and the Supreme High Command change the deployment. As a result, Volkov was transferred from the Southwestern Front. He was transferred to the Supreme Command as a staff officer, and before leaving, he took with him his right-hand men, that is, the chief of staff of the South-Western Front, Vladimir Grechko, and the commander of the Fifth Army, Ratjan Mussorgsky, in addition, Sokolov and Jantyuk, who were in charge of the guard battalion, also left with Volkov as adjutants, Volkov also took with him the platoon commander of the electronic warfare platoon, Michurin, and several specialists, and part of the special operations team, who were to be responsible for training in the rear reserves.
Most of the electronic equipment of the armored regiment was transferred, and the extra combat personnel were also transferred, and they were sent by the high command to the reserve front army to train recruits and cultivate talents. Because the equipment and personnel of the special combat team were too special, the Supreme Command regarded them as a secret force and immediately transferred them, and even Volkov did not know their whereabouts.
Under the 'wise' leadership of Marshal Budyonny, the entire South-Western Front was in trouble, and Volkov was very anxious about this situation, and he proposed to withdraw the South-Western Front, suggesting the abandonment of Kiev, for which he confronted Stalin, so he was assigned to the reserve front. After that, it is not difficult to predict, the Southwestern Front was surrounded and annihilated, with losses of more than a million. On the other hand, Volkov's counter-assault organized by the reserve was victorious, annihilating more than 50,000 German troops, which can be said to be the first major victory since the beginning of the war. At this time, Leningrad was already very critical, surrounded on three sides, the city's food supply was tight, weapons, ammunition and supplies were urgently needed to be transported, and the enemy army was less than 14 kilometers away from the city.
At this time, Stalin thought of Volkov and immediately called him to Moscow and appointed him commander of the Leningrad Front. And when he met Yelena, he was accompanied by his assistants Ratyan, Mussorgsky, and Vladimir Grechko, as well as Yantyuk, who appeared as a guard.
Among the entourage were other military generals of the Leningrad Military District, who had come to visit the wounded. Volkov's abnormality did not hide from everyone, at least Mussorgsky and Yantyuk knew Yelena, and they knew how deeply Yelena's refusal hurt Volkov, or it could not be said that it was a hurt, but a knot in the heart, an influence. Those who had not seen Yelena were shocked by her beauty, but in front of Volkov, no one dared to look at it much, for fear of giving a bad impression to the new commander, so only Mussorgsky and Yantyuk saw Yelena's tears, and in their impressions, Yelena never shed tears, and her pale face and emaciated cheeks would give birth to pity.
The two of them discussed with Volkov behind their backs for a long time, and they both believed that Volkov should not be allowed to contact Yelena, and that what she brought to the general was only harm. At such a critical moment, the huge pressure and various difficulties on the general's body require him to work hard, and he must not be distracted by a woman.
The next day, Volkov asked Jantyuk by chance and said, "Do you know she's here?"
Yantyuk replied calmly, "I don't know, I also saw her for the first time at that time." ”
"She seems to have lost a lot of weight, maybe she was hungry? Maybe she was sick, she was a little different this time, I guess, she would have come to me. Volkov said,
Yantyuk frowned, but after thinking about it, he said, "I heard that her child died. It hit her hard. ”
"What about her husband?" Volkov did not hide his anger, but he thought of the cunning woman who was as cunning as a fox, and even if she married, then the husband she chose would surely be more obedient than the faithful dog, how could she not come to comfort him at this time......? He then asked, "Did you go to war?"
Jantyuk frowned and said, "I took the words from the mouth of a nurse in the First Hospital, she only said that Yelena had lost her child, and now she is fully engaged in her work, and the dean has to recruit special people to watch her eat and sleep." They hadn't seen the two children, but they were said to be cute and very smart, but they didn't mention the child's father, they didn't mention it. ”
Volkov nodded, remembering in his heart that Yelena gave birth to the child in Siberia, and I am afraid that the child's father also died in Siberia. Yelena, who became a widow, made Volkov feel a little confused, one of the reasons why Yelena rejected him was that he was married, and she had a family of her own, but at this time she divorced and Yelena became a widow, so they ......
"General......" Yantyuke wanted to speak and stopped,
"Say, don't spit out. Volkov said irritably, he was unconscious, but in Jantyuk's opinion, it was already an extreme gaffe.
Yantyuk said, "The responsibility on your shoulders is too heavy, at this time, I don't know how many people are staring at you, not to mention, if you are distracted, ......"
"Yantyuk, I know what you're talking about, that's all for this topic, don't talk about it anymore. Volkov interrupted Jantyuk,
After leaving the hospital, Volkov had to go to the subway stockpile warehouse, where weapons and ammunition were said to be the least sufficient. As the mayor and the secretary of the municipal party committee, there is only one accurate figure of grain, the original city has 30,000 tons of grain, although the grain has been transported to the subway, but the flour and sugar that have not had time to be transported away were blown up by the German army, so there are only less than 10,000 tons left, but fortunately, some people donated materials, and after the outbreak of the war, they began to store grain and other materials in the city, so now there are a total of 190,000 tons of flour and 120,000 tons of other grains, 900,000 tons of canned food, 50,000 tons of sugar, 20,000 tons of cocoa beans and 30,000 tons of butter and cheese and other dairy products. There are 20,000 tons of meat, that is, bacon and cured meat, and less than 1,000 tons of fresh meat. Canned food is the most, and there are some food and other foods packaged in aluminum foil, but I don't know what kind of canned food it is, and what kind of food it is, and I haven't had time to investigate it carefully, Volkov is a little suspicious that Yelena made it, which seems to be his style, but soon he doesn't think so, because the supplies are still coming from Britain and the United States, and Yelena has obviously been ignoring things for a long time.
Coming to the Leningrad subway, it is obvious that it is more shocking than looking at the drawings, because the subway was not built for a long time, only a year, but it is very strong, the project is huge, the top of the subway is poured with three meters of reinforced concrete, even the largest aerial bomb can not penetrate its top, and the subway is the standard of four tracks, but the platform is very wide, there are a large number of warehouses at each station, it is said that it was intended to be a shop, or rented to some units as a warehouse. The subway terminal is particularly large, divided into several waiting halls, as well as the rest area and office area of the subway staff, in addition, the subway also has independent power facilities and drainage systems, and the water supply system and heating system are also separated from the city. The stationmaster of the subway station is proud to announce that he has stockpiled enough coal and fuel oil to survive the winter at various subway stations to ensure electricity, heating and water supply.
When Volkov saw the grain warehouse, butter warehouse, meat warehouse, sugar warehouse, cocoa bean warehouse and various canned food warehouses stored at the terminal, and also saw a lot of potatoes and vegetables, there was nowhere to store them at this time, so they could only be placed in the waiting hall, piled up in a mountain. Volkov saw these supplies, and was not completely assured, the entire city needed at least 800 tons of food every day, and if he could eat enough, he would need at least 1,000 tons of food, in addition, although there were still some stocks of weapons and ammunition, it was not enough to counterattack, and it was not enough to hold on for a long time. There are other fuels such as fuel, which can't hold the whole city for long. In the evening of the same day, he began to formulate a food rationing system, with soldiers and heavy manual laborers receiving 1,000 grams of bread per day, ordinary workers, clerks and their families each receiving 800 grams of bread, and children, the elderly and the unemployed only receiving 600 grams. However, they can also get 100 grams each of sugar, butter, cheese, milk powder and vegetables such as carrots every day. Children under the age of three are also given 50 grams of milk powder and 50 grams of rice flour, as well as some dried fruits, 200 grams of meat, 100 grams of cocoa powder and jam, and occasionally some tea and vegetables. As for the canned food, it was kept for the fighters as much as possible.
Every day, Volkov was busy with his feet on the ground, he usually lived in the subway at the headquarters of the Front, which was very close to the First Hospital, but after waiting for almost a week, he didn't see Yelena come to him, and he also asked Doyantyuk if he didn't report it, but Yantyuk assured that there was absolutely no such thing. And Mussorgsky, a friend who knew Yelena and his affairs, specifically mentioned Volkov that at this time, don't make mistakes. But seeing that Volkov did not give him assurance, Mussorgsky was very uneasy, and he specially called the director of the First Hospital, Kazakov, and asked him about Yelena. The two talked for ten minutes, after which he asked Kazakov to go back and get pictures of Yelena's children.
Soon, after Kazakov returned again, Mussorgsky frowned and sent Kazakov away, he fell into deep thought, this is not a good time, he said to himself. Even if Volkov will blame him in the future, it is definitely not a good time.
The next day, the German offensive reached its peak, and on September 16, the Germans looked for weak points in the Soviet defenses, broke through the Soviet defenses from the junction of the Soviet 42nd Army and the 55th Army, captured the city of Push, 18 kilometers south of Leningrad, detoured to the left to the Pulkovo Heights directly south of Leningrad, and detoured to the right to Kolpino to the southeast. However, under the leadership and command of Volkov, the enemy offensive was thwarted again and again, and on the 19th, the German offensive was the most frenzied. Its infantry, under the cover of tanks, launched a fierce assault on the Pulkovo Heights and other places, artillery bombarded Leningrad for 17 hours continuously, and aviation flew nearly 300 sorties to bomb the city in six waves. At this critical time, as long as anyone can afford to hold a weapon, they go to the battle. And among these people was Yelena.
The doctors and nurses of the hospital organized a small detachment, they had the weapons stored in the hospital, Yelena also provided some submachine guns, and also found cowhide body armor and some knee pads and helmets for everyone. Yelena wore the best body armor, a helmet, combat boots, grenades and ammunition pinned to her waist. She was followed by a few brave nurses from their department, Yelena opposed those who were hesitant to be forced into battle, and several female nurses who followed her, at least with a brave spirit, and two who had participated in militia training. Somewhat military knowledge.
Yelena was holding a heavy machine gun in her hand, and behind her were two strong, equally well-dressed nurses, wearing body armor with steel plates. The heavy machine gun must be the enemy's key target, and 1,300 rounds of ammunition in one minute go out, so naturally she needs special people to transport ammunition to her. And you have to bring more ammunition, this is Yelena's collection in space, it is an aviation machine gun, also called a stinger, the firepower is too much, anyway, Yelena has also thought about it, if she wants to die, she will die on the battlefield!
Yelena is not the first time to go to the battlefield, naturally she will not panic, let alone run around, find a favorable position, and start to design at the enemy, and then change positions, the province was bombarded, this is also thanks to Yelena, the hand strength is big enough, the physical strength is good enough, of course, after less than an hour, I feel that my body is a little prostration, it doesn't matter, let's cheat again, find out the pill from the space, which is used to quickly replenish physical strength, the disadvantage is that when the effect of the medicine is gone, it will immediately fall apart and collapse. But who knows if they will survive until that time. Yelena is not crazy, in fact, except for Zoya who pulls her mother Rasha in the family, all the women in their family have gone to the battlefield, including Olga and Sophia, and Wanatina went up yesterday. I don't know how it is now.
