Chapter 853: Armageddon - Asking for Food
Moscow, Kremlin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At about 7 o'clock in the morning of April 30, the Supreme Command of the Red Army, located in the Kremlin, had entered the most urgent state!
First Deputy People's Commissar of Defense Pavlov, General Staff Shaposhnikov, Deputy Chief of the General Staff Golikov, and Commander-in-Chief of the Partisan Movement Voroshilov had already arrived one after another, gathering in an operational command room with maps on the walls, while discussing the series of urgent war reports they had just received.
From an hour ago, the forward positions of the various army groups stationed in Belarus, the Smolensk region and along the Dnieper River in Ukraine began to be heavily shelled by the Germans (in fact, the European coalition forces)!
At the same time, fierce air battles are unfolding in the skies over the above-mentioned regions and Kalinin Oblast!
According to reports from the Western Front, the Southwestern Front, the Kalinin Front, and the Territorial Defense Forces, German aircraft totaling more than 5,000 sorties, including a large number of Fokker Zeros (D) and F-8s, had invaded Soviet airspace and were engaged in a desperate contest with the fighters of the Soviet Red Air Force.
It is clear that the artillery and air raids launched by the Germans today are the prelude to a large-scale spring offensive!
"It's impossible to attack in the middle and south lanes at the same time, they don't have that many troops."
Although the First Deputy People's Commissar of Defense Pavlov was not a very good commander-in-chief at the front, he was a very good "chief of the General Staff" (his current position is actually the chief of the General Staff), and he also had a very accurate grasp of the reality of the German army.
He analyzed: "The Germans do have a lot of artillery, maybe 50%-100% more than us, so they can carry out heavy shelling on the whole line." There are also quite a few of their aircraft, which are comparable to ours in quantity and far surpass us in quality. But the fuel they could use for military operations on the Eastern Front was always only half of ours. This bottleneck constrained the size and movement of the German mechanized forces, so the intensity of the artillery bombardment and air strikes was not enough to tell the story, and only by ascertaining the movements of the German mechanized units, especially the heavily armed mechanized units equipped with Tiger heavy tanks, could their main targets be determined. ”
Because of its success in co-opting France, a country that pursued the "Artillery Doctrine", Germany now had far more towed suppression artillery at its disposal on the Eastern Front than the Soviet Union. Moreover, in terms of the number of heavy artillery above the caliber, the German army (French army) had an overwhelming advantage.
Therefore, the Soviet high command could not make a judgment based on the intensity of the enemy's shelling. And the movement of mechanized troops, especially the Tiger tanks, is the most crucial -- where there are Tiger gatherings, there must be the main force of the German army!
"Comrade Voroshilov," the General Staff of the General Staff, Shalashnikov, took over the topic and asked Voroshilov, who was in charge of the work of the partisans, in a very respectful tone, "can our partisans find out the movements of the German Tiger tanks?" ”
After returning from Leningrad, Voroshilov lost Stalin's trust and fell from the post of People's Commissar of Defense to the post of chief of the partisan detachment. However, he is still a member of the Political Bureau, so his status in the party is still very high.
"It's hard to say," Voroshilov shook his head and sighed, "the partisan movement is not carried out ideally, but in the Pskov region, in Belarus, Ukraine and Poland, the partisan movement is very difficult. ”
"Comrade Voroshilov, can we determine the main forces of the Nazi and fascist armies before they launch a general offensive?"
Stalin's voice suddenly came from outside the door of the war room, and everyone immediately stopped the discussion, and all turned their bodies to the door of the war room, and some of the tall comrades deliberately shrank their heads and backs to make themselves look shorter.
Stepping through the door was Stalin, the leader of the loving fathers, with a pipe in his mouth, who had arrived from the Kontsevo Villa on the outskirts of Moscow, where he had stayed all day yesterday, April 29, and where a small reception was held to entertain Donovan, the special envoy of the President, and Yoyo Matsuoka, the special envoy of the Prime Minister of Japan, who had arrived from the United States.
The secret talks between the three parties began after dinner and lasted until late at night. Although no agreement was reached, the atmosphere of the talks was very harmonious and full of expectations. And Stalin had a dream that night, dreaming that the red flag was planted on the roof of the Reichstag!
Unfortunately, when I woke up, I heard the bad news that the Germans had indeed begun large-scale artillery bombardment and air strikes.
"Comrade General Secretary," Voroshilov quickly replied respectfully, "if the Germans attack from the territory of the Pskov region, we can determine in advance...... Because we have many heroic guerrilla fighters there. ”
Stalin nodded, knowing in his heart what the problem was - although there were many nationalities in the Soviet Union, it was the Russians who could really rely on when the catastrophe came!
"Well," said Stalin, "tell our brave partisans to find out at all costs the movements of the Nazi and fascist troops, and that the Soviet people and the Bolshevik Party will never forget the sacrifices they made for victory in the Great Patriotic War." ”
"Okay, I'll pass on your instructions to every guerrilla."
……
Stalin's instructions were bound to inspire every partisan, including the brave Zoya. Comrade Kasmodemyanskaya.
She is now on the important task of finding out the movements of the German mechanized clusters!
To this end, she stood barefoot, in a thin, dirty, and torn tunic with a thin, filthy garment, and trousers of insufficient length to expose her calves, and stood on the side of an important highway in the city of Velikiye Luki, and stretched out her right hand to the fierce enemy who was marching along the road......
She's ...... Beggar!
As a youth league member and guerrilla who was always ready to dedicate herself to the cause of GCISM, Zoya originally thought that the reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines should be to lie in the grass on the side of the road, covered with leaves, and then use military binoculars to check it. This is how the instructors were taught when training was introduced in the guerrilla training camp.
But there is always a big gap between reality and imagination, and if she lies on the side of the road as she did in training, then she will most likely be discovered by the murderous enemy and then tragically hanged.
So the experienced Second Lieutenant Sprosky dressed this revolutionary girl, who was fairly good-looking and full of youthful air, as a "woman called Hanako" and a woman who had lost her footing - such shameless women were very common in the Pskov region, and there was one every hundred meters or so on every important road where the German and White Russian troops passed.
Therefore, Comrade Kasmodemyanskaya is only one of the many "begging girls" and is very easy to hide.
According to Ensign Sproski's arrangement, she could ask for food while counting the German tanks (Zoya was able to identify various types of tanks and assault guns) and troops passing by. In this way, the problem of eating and the reconnaissance mission can be solved together, and it is also very safe.
Of course, there must be preparations to dedicate oneself to the revolution!
Not to give your life, but to give your body! However, most of the people who dedicated themselves were not German Nazis, and the discipline of the German army was strict, and it was not allowed to mess with flowers and grass during the march. But the reactionary Empress's White Russian army and the French and Croatian-Hungarian armies that fought after the Nazis were not so disciplined......
The thought that her virginity might be taken away by a reactionary old white man (old white Russian man) made Zoya feel like vomiting.
A rumbling motor sound came, interrupting Zoya's train of thought, who was asking for food for the revolution, and she hurriedly looked at the place where the motor sound came from. I saw a puff of smoke and dust billowing in, and at a glance, I knew that it was a mechanized army driving over.
Zoya quickly held her breath, her eyes widened, and she stared carefully at the road. After a while, a scene that made her so excited that she was almost out of breath appeared in front of her eyes.
The legendary Tiger tank appeared!
It was followed by a column of wheeled or half-tracked armored vehicles, one after the other, rumbling forward. Zoya counted carefully, until she reached 44, and then passed through the short-barreled tank No. 4, a total of 22......
Zoya knew that it was a heavily armored battalion of Germans that passed!
Then, another column of wheeled/half-track armored vehicles rumbled, followed by Tiger tanks!
Two heavily armored battalions!
Zoya's breathing was a little short, two heavily armored battalions, maybe there would be more, he was likely to find the main force of the Germans this time!
At that moment, one of the tanks in the German Tiger convoy that was passing in front of her seemed to malfunction and suddenly stalled. Then the vehicles that followed it all stopped.
Several men, who appeared to be German officers, disembarked from the tank body or wheeled/half-track armored vehicles, gathered in front of the broken down tank, and began to talk. Zoya could understand some German (because of the previous twenty years of Russian-German cooperation, German had always been the first foreign language in the Soviet Union, so Zoya, who was well-read, could understand a little German), and the few people seemed to say things like "break down", "repair" and "push to the side of the road first".
Then the Germans ended their conversation, and a Nazi officer who looked even more handsome than the "secretary on the white horse" in Zoya's dream (Soviet girls didn't like Prince Charming, because princes were anti-galleys) suddenly approached her.
"Discovered? Will it be captured by this handsome Nazi villain? Shouldn't you resist it? Zoya watched the handsome blonde guy go, and her heart thumped nervously, but she couldn't do anything. Because her superior, Second Lieutenant Sprosky, forbade her to carry any weapons, and she was not allowed to resist the frustrated enemy...... (To be continued.) )
