Chapter 403: Steel Forged 3

After Rodimtsev became clear about his task, Lin Jun did not talk to him much and let the division commander command the troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info saw that the soldiers passing by around him saluted him, and he replied a few times: others don't know, the deputy commander is now in a bit of a disturbed mood.

"Airport Six." Tell Gusev, raise your legs and leave. The wife will be in the airport hospital, and it is estimated that Volhin's operation should be almost done, so I don't know if Comrade Major General can stand it: Vukinskaya's skills are not said, it depends on whether Volkhin can stand up.

Gaz was waiting at the side of the platform, and after getting on the train, Lin Jun felt very tired, and his heart was like a boulder - with the progress of the Minsk Campaign, a problem that he had been ignoring appeared, and it was precisely because of his own neglect that the Red Army might have to pay hundreds of thousands of more people to win the Minsk Campaign!

The choice of Minsk as the fulcrum of the decisive battle was not Lin Jun's personal decision, but was caused by many reasons - a decisive battle in a city that was not suitable for defense was also a last resort. The Red Army is even stronger, and there is nothing wrong with considering such a choice from a purely military point of view, but Lin Jun's unique "experience in the Great Patriotic War" seems to have slapped himself in the face! He took it for granted.

What did the USSR rely on to get through the most difficult first months of the Great Patriotic War? What thwarted the sharp German offensive? The most important thing was the sworn war of the whole Soviet people against the army, as well as the mud of Russia and the bitter cold that came early, both in Moscow and in Stalingrad.

The rainy season came as scheduled, and although it was uncomfortable for its own side, the Red Army still had a certain "home advantage" compared to the German army, which was suffering in the muddy ponds on the outskirts of the city and was not accustomed to the mud. The autumn rain is coming, when will the harsh winter come? -- Here's the problem: in the Soviet Union, there were no biting winters in sksk!

The average temperature in Minsk in winter in January is about minus five or six degrees (don't believe the Baidu entry, it is actually more than ten degrees different from the actual situation, and it is still bright there. Lin Jun has always treated Minsk as Stalingrad: Stalingrad is also a continental climate, although it is a southern city of the Soviet Union, the average temperature in winter and January is minus 9 degrees, which is colder than Minsk.

It is said that the hottest time of January in Sri Lanka even reached nearly minus 10 degrees, which is a comfortable temperature to enjoy the "spring breeze bath"! Lin Jun is not afraid of the cold, he is afraid that it is not cold enough! I also thought about this weather again when I was drenched in the rain today, and I panicked for a while!

If it is a warm winter, the temperature difference of 5 degrees is estimated to be offset by hundreds of thousands of human lives! The Germans can also see the snow in winter, but they can't adapt to the harsh winter unique to the Soviet Union, the combat effectiveness of the German army is greatly reduced, and the north wind of the severe winter in the Soviet Union also blows the morale of the German army day by day! If this winter in Minsk and the winter in northern Germany were half a pound to eight taels, then the Soviet Union would no longer have an advantage in adapting to the season.

"What's wrong with you? It seems that the quality of the heart is still not good! Looking at the windows that had been blurred by the rain, there was a hint of self-deprecation in my heart.

"Gusev, how cold is it in Minsk in winter?" It is better to look at the meteorological data than to ask people who are familiar with Minsk what they feel.

The confidential staff officer sat next to Lin Jun, and the marshal's sudden and seemingly confused question did not make him stunned: "It's cold, the temperature is slightly higher than that of Moscow, and the snow is very thick. In the winter of 37, I was on a business trip here for half a month, and it was freezing at minus 40 degrees at night, and I was choking on the cold. This year's autumn rain fell a little early, and it is estimated that it will be a cold winter. ā€

Gusev saw that the corner of the marshal's mouth seemed to smile, "The cold will be an ally." Gusev understood why the marshal would suddenly ask this.

Lin Jun's smile was not only to hear the good news from the staff officer, but also to laugh at himself - the winter of the Soviet Union in 41 will be a harsh winter, it is estimated that God will not change a little because of his arrival, and in 37 he will go back to Moscow by himself, and there is nothing in Berlin, and when he arrived in Belarus, he gambled on the heavy snow on the train in Belarus, and he really felt the severe cold of Belarus.

Not as good as Moscow and Leningrad, but definitely colder than Berlin in winter!

"There is no news of Alyosha them."

"Not yet, marshal. Rest assured, they won't be so prone to accidents, and there are scattered troops fighting to the west of the city all the time. ā€

Lin Jun didn't say anything - two of the several sniper teams sent out by the guards had been out of touch for some time, and Lin Jun was a little worried about the safety of those guards. But it's just a little bit, and now he can't afford to put too much energy in unnecessary places. There are a few Vasily here, and even in Xicheng, they still have the ability to hide themselves.

More than an hour later, the car arrived at the airport and saw that the fighter jets on the runway in the distance were taking off urgently, and it was estimated that there was a combat mission again. These days, the Luftwaffe has not stopped bombing the Minsk area, and the two sides are fighting for their lives, and there is only a tie in the air.

Vukinskaya had already undergone surgery for a while, and Lin Jun was checking on the condition of several other important wounded when he saw her - during this time, there were dozens of officers at or above the colonel level lying in the hospital, and the new ones were basically operated by Vukinskaya.

Except for a few particularly urgent surgeries, as the hospital's chief surgeon, Vuginskaya generally only performs surgeries on officers above the rank of superior (rank, colonel), but she does any operation on the critically wounded whenever possible, regardless of the hospital's regulations. Nine out of ten of the wounded who are sent here are critically ill, and three or four percent of them are still difficult and complex surgeries (generally injuries are not sent here, and minor injuries are not in the line of fire.) )。 Even though the hospital made arrangements, Vuginskaya was still very busy.

"How's Volhin doing?" Lin Jun asked as soon as he saw his wife.

"Several pieces of shrapnel in the abdomen have been removed, 30 centimeters of the small intestine have been amputated, and the left hand has been amputated below the elbow joint, which cannot be saved. The left leg would fall disabled, and a large muscle would be removed. Other problems are not big, as long as the infection period is over, it will recover. ā€

The wife is in good spirits, and she is not shocked - such an injury will leave a lifelong disability for the wounded, an absolute serious injury, but it is nothing to a field surgeon, and it is difficult to die: Vuginskaya did not say that the general had a total of 32 stitches on his face, which would leave two huge scars.

Lin Jun and his wife went to the ward to check on the condition of the wounded, and then left the hospital and went to the airport headquarters.

Bypassing the dilapidated factory building, or rather through the huge stepped fortifications, the soldiers of the 7th Company had not yet reached the line of fire, and the mood of longing for battle was completely mobilized!

There were bomb craters everywhere, and every building you stepped on was a fortification, and a handful of defenders were there. A few shells will fly in the cold, and shrapnel from the rubble will fly by - this is the battlefield!

Pavlov instructed his men to be as careful as possible, and when the whistling of shells got too close, he shouted: "Lie down!" "Everyone is covered in mud and water, and their faces are black and white.

That's it, there are comrades who were hit on the head by gravel and hung up before they participated in the battle. It was raining in the sky, and the air was filled with not only the smell of gunsmoke, but also the unpleasant smell of blood. When the comrade from Minsk said that he had crossed the factory area, the smell of blood in the air was mixed with the stench of corpses, and the mixture of several smells made everyone's stomachs tumble - the corpses of the Germans had no time to be cleaned up, and everywhere in the ruins and mud ponds you could see corpses in strange postures, all white and swollen from the rain, and the entrails that had been beaten out were everywhere!

The corpse was nearby, and a few fighters spat fiercely as they walked by: "Fascist, you deserve it!" ā€

Chernogorov bumped into Glushchenko beside him, and following his gaze, Glushchenko saw a large set of internal organs hanging from the branch of a remnant birch tree - it was definitely not a butcher who played a prank, but a little remnant left after the person was blown away, and he didn't know whether it was his own man or a fascist.

Some militia comrades, many of whom were women, dressed in civilian clothes and carrying rifles, were cleaning up the corpses of the Germans on carts, and they didn't care about the shells that fell nearby. The army could not send people to clean up, so it had to rely on local comrades: some of the corpses had been around for several days, and if they were not cleaned up, there might be an outbreak of infectious diseases, and in that case, Minsk would have become a dead city without hitting it!

"Comrades, run forward, ahead is our front-line position, be smart!" Hearing the company commander's shout, everyone quickened their pace and lowered their bodies - there were already stray bullets scurrying over their heads from time to time.

Pavlov carried a few base ammunition on his back, Chernogorov stuffed 16 grenades, Glushchenko hung three of his three magazine bags, and a box of 200 rounds of assault rifle ammunition in his backpack, which he could withstand all the way at a trot. The sergeant asked the squad to bring as much ammunition as possible, and the consumption of ammunition for such a fierce engagement was staggering, and he could carry as much ammunition as he could.

The front-line positions finally appeared in front of the soldiers, and the ruins of the two and the barricades on the streets were the line of fire of the army group: Pavlov calculated that the actual depth of defense of the entire city of this generation was only 500 meters!
