As an air force officer, Lin Jun was very aware of the importance of air defense, and after leaving the first line, he inspected the situation of the antiaircraft artillery positions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The officers of the anti-aircraft positions reported that for three days in a row they had not found German reconnaissance planes in the west, but the anti-aircraft artillery did not relax at all: with several radar stations in Minsk as instructions, enemy planes from medium and high altitudes could be detected in advance, but if enemy planes came from low altitudes, it depended on the reaction speed of anti-aircraft artillery.

There were no planes in the air, and it seemed to be back to the moment before the outbreak of war. Looking at the clear sky after the rain, Lin Jun seemed to have a delusion and a moment of difficulty in thinking: How could the Soviet-German war become like this?!

It stands to reason that this must be full of gunsmoke and airplanes in the sky, how can it be so leisurely, maybe Hitler and his generals and marshals have also become a little unconfident?

"Probably not, maybe they're a bit of a trance like me, and they don't know what to do next!"

Yes, the tried-and-true blitzkrieg seemed to have lost its original power, and Hitler's top staff also needed a new strategic deployment.

In Gusev's briefcase was an up-to-date map of the defense zone, which marked the deployment of all troops and fortification groups with a width of 300 kilometers as of last night - this was a top-secret map of top secrets, and of course Lin Jun was qualified and needed one.

The defense of Minsk will be divided into parts: the first part is the "Stalin Line", the third line of defense in the area of several tens of kilometers between the "Stalin Line" and the city is the second part, and the last is the defense of the city.

Today Lin Jun will inspect the "Stalinist Line" and the preparations for the deployment of troops in the middle area, especially the configuration of the two flanks of the city: here it is very important to ensure that Minsk is not dumpled from behind.

The main fortress complexes of the "Stalin Line" were connected by railways to the rear, ready to transport ammunition, supplies and equipment, and the entire Minsk front was connected by two circular railways, connected by a number of longitudinal branch lines in between, ensuring the smooth flow of the entire railway network. These were all ancillary works that were built with the construction of the "Stalin Line": such a large project would not be just for transportation, but would become part of the whole defense system, because armored trains and huge train guns needed them!

The experience and feelings of the civil war led several large cities in the western part of the Soviet Union to build special railway networks, that is, to serve armored trains: armored trains, train guns, these giants that fast forward to the museum will burst out of the last energy in the Great Patriotic War, and in the defense system designed for them by the railway network like Minsk, the energy they can burst will be enormous!

When he came just now, Lin Jun saw a long-range train cannon on a small transfer station of the second circular railway, and the muzzles of the three 180mm train guns were facing the west. After leaving the front line, Lin Jun got on the infantry fighting vehicle and headed to the southeast, just to see those long-range train guns.

The train cannon was still there, but Lin Jun didn't go directly to see the big guys after arriving, because a swarthy train slowly drove into the transfer station, and it should have come to refill the water. Looking at the long train in front of him, Gusev noticed the chief's smile - this was a heavily armored train, and some of the members of the guard had seen such a behemoth for the first time, and the name of the train was written in large letters on the command car in the middle of it: Marshal Pulunyakov!

The No. 72 heavy armored train has just been renovated today at the repair station of the Minsk railway station, and after three days of hard work by the comrades and soldiers of the railway department, the large and small holes and damaged parts were finally basically repaired, and after replenishing part of the ammunition supply, it left the repair station in the morning to carry out its new task, and became a giant mobile battery of the "Stalin Line" in Minsk.

In order to accomplish this task, the train also attached two flatbed cars with a total of eight 76.2mm field guns: old goods left over from the First World War, but still reliable. The dense circular railway gives it plenty of freedom of movement, and it can be there wherever it is needed as long as the battle starts, and it can even run outside the line of defense (which is a bit irrational, of course). ）。

In the event of a crisis at some point, this thorny behemoth can arrive at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and the dense barrage of cannons and machine guns will make the Germans understand that the Soviet armored train is not yet ready to enter the museum!

The two months of fighting had left a deep mark on the heavily armored train No. 72, and although it had been repaired, the newly repaired parts were immediately visible - it had been hit by tank shells, it had been strafed by planes, and 175 of the 221 commanders and fighters at the beginning of the war were still on board, and the rest were either killed or wounded.

When the train entered the transfer station, the soldiers saw dozens of heavily armed soldiers standing next to several armored cars on the side of the railway, led by Marshal Plunyakov!

Before the car was stable, Major Bekryev jumped out of the car and ran towards Lin Jun!

Comrade Major looked at the vicissitudes of life, and saluted Lin Jun with a "snap": "Hello, Marshal Plunyakov!" ”

Why is it called a marshal, and not a deputy commander-in-chief? The big title is written on the carriage behind him, or it was repainted yesterday, how awkward it is to call it the deputy commander!

Lin Jun replied with a military salute very formally, "Major Bekryev, you are very brave in battle, congratulations!" ”

"Serve the USSR!"

The officers who could get off the car all gathered to salute Lin Jun, several of whom had seen Lin Jun a few years ago, and the soldiers in the car all stood by the armored car door and saluted Lin Jun. Bekryev was very excited, he didn't expect that the deputy commander still remembered himself - the major was the only armored train commander he knew and stayed with for a while, Lin Jun of course remembered: in the Urals, this No. 72 train allowed him to have a good experience.

Since this is only a battalion-level unit, although the troops are special, it is impossible for Lin Jun to see their performance in the early battle report, and the words of praise just now are just guessing by looking at the car body: they are all repaired like this, and they must have experienced fierce battles.

"You're a little curious about what you've been fighting these days." is an old friend, although his identity is present, he is still more enthusiastic about his old friend Lin Jun.

"Marshal Plunyakov, we took part in the defense of the Brest Fortress on the morning of June 3 and held out there until June 15. After the German assault on Brest was suspended, it moved north to support the Bulge with Lithuania, and later returned to Minsk during the retreat last month, where it is now under the command of the Minsk City Defense Command. ”

Bekryev said it simply and clearly, there is no need to go into detail about the specific situation of the fierce battle, Comrade Marshal is not a child who likes to listen to stories - both battles were extremely hard, and Lin Jun can understand it.

"How's the casualty?"

"Twenty-eight people were killed, 16 more were in the hospital, and 40 new fighters have just been replenished. Rest assured, armored train No. 72 will not disgrace you! ”

The Major's expression was resolute, and Joon believed that they could do it - it was a train named after him, and it was an honor and a responsibility for the members of it!

Lin Jun introduced the commander of the armored train in front of him to his attachés, and Bekryev saw that the deputy commander had the intention of introducing each other, and also introduced his officer to Lin Jun.

On one side is the attaché of the deputy commander-in-chief, and on the other side is the lieutenant-level officer of the armored train, which does not seem to be a grade, but Lin Jun not only treats Bekryev as an ordinary officer, but also half an old friend, and this encounter will not seem too hierarchical.

"How long is it going to stop?"

"For an hour, I need to replenish some shells."

"Let's go, get to your command car and sit down. It's not going to hit you guys, is it? ”

"No, no!" It's too late to welcome, how can you refuse.

Walking into the once familiar carriage, there was a manly air in the room, mixed with a faint smoke of gunpowder and other indescribable smells: this is a man's world, and if it hadn't just been renovated, the smell here would have been even worse, and this would have shown that the members had done a good job in housekeeping.

The command trunk is still the same, but the time has left some marks on those equipment, which makes Lin Jun a little bit of a revisit.

There is a large mirror frame in a conspicuous position on the left wall of the carriage, which is a group photo of himself and several train officers such as Bekliev, which was taken on the train last time, and they also sent one to Lin Jun. Lin Jun looked at himself four years ago: a young colonel, confident and full of vitality!

"It seems that the years are not forgiving, and I won't have wrinkles at that time, hehe." Lin Jun's words are a bit interesting: Now he is only 28 years old, but in the past few years, he has wrinkled the corners of his eyes!

"The 24-year-old young colonel, the 28-year-old deputy commander-in-chief of the Soviet Union, is like a dream." Lin Jun felt a little emotional.

He stayed in the car for more than ten minutes, not staying too long, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him. When leaving, according to the request of the train members, Lin Jun took a group photo with them outside the command car with the name of the train in the background, and Lin Jun also deliberately took a photo with Bekryev.

"Send me one after the battle!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
