At 5 a.m. on May 12, Lin Jun, who was at the headquarters of the 8th Guards Infantry Division, received a report from Panfilov. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Marshal, the 1077th Infantry Regiment and the 1st Tank Brigade of the 52nd Tank Brigade have captured the factory area north of the Zaliznichnoye railway station, and now the whole of Kazatin is already in our hands!"

Hearing Panfilov's slightly excited report, Lin Junyi pulled the map in front of him: Zaliznichnoye railway station is located in the northwest of the city, and from there to the north is a large area of factories that used to produce bearings, but according to aerial reports, the entire factory area is in ruins.

The factory area became the best defensive garrison, and beyond it was the flat farmland, and whoever occupied the northern factory area was equivalent to a solid defensive fulcrum.

Since the attack in the early hours of yesterday morning, Panfilov's troops have made rapid progress, not only because of the strong attack force of the 8th Guards Infantry Division, but also because of the fact that the Germans were taken by surprise.

The siege of Kazatin, launched at 23 o'clock last night, took only 6 hours for the main attacking force to achieve its tactical goal.

The army group mobilized almost a quarter of its heavy artillery units to support Panfilov, and the air force spared no effort to clear the obstacles in the way of the ground forces' offensive! 210-mm cannons, 203-mm, 152-mm, 122-mm howitzers, Katyusha rocket artillery, 1800 kg super-heavy high-explosive shells, 500 kg cluster bombs......

Everything that could be used was used, and the support units cleared the way for the infantry with enough ammunition that the logistics department of the group army spent a week transporting, and even the armored units became subordinate to the infantry.

Lukin's bold plan was a success, and the Germans, who were caught off guard, were heavily armed, but unable to organize an effective response to this sudden attack in a short time, and withdrew from Kazatin after a little resistance.

However, the capture of Kazatin did not mean the end of the campaign, it was just the beginning: now the city of Kazatin was like a big nail embedded in the depth of the German army, and it should soon be besieged by the Germans in three directions, and the Germans would never let the Red Army firmly occupy the city before the start of summer!

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the command of the Front Army received a report from the first batch of reconnaissance planes to attack: Almost the entire front of the Front was moving troops in the depth of the German army, and Panfilov's troops were like stabbing a hornet's nest, pulling a blow and moving the whole body.

The entire front of the battlefield was brought to life by the launch of this campaign, and the two sides were operating within their respective fronts, and they were no longer confined to those rare dryness in the mud.

12 noon, ticket hall of Zaliznichinoye railway station.

It was already raining lightly outside, and there were occasional shell explosions in the distance. In some of the leaky halls, there were several campfires lit, where a group of Red Army infantry was resting, a few were drying their wet boots on the fire, and many more were staggering and sleeping.

By the time they found this dry place at nine o'clock in the morning, the soldiers had not slept for almost two days and two nights.

A truck pulled up in front of the waiting hall through a potholed street, and the driver with a flat face jumped out of the cab and ran into the ticket hall in a few big steps.

Looking left and right, there was a hint of joy on his face, and he said to a second lieutenant who had obviously just woken up: "Company commander, I finally found you!" ”

Here resting were two platoons of infantry under the command of the commander of the engineer company, Filtov, but now there were no more than 50 people in the hall - one of his platoons was left behind, and God knows when he would be able to return. As for the others, since the attack in the early hours of yesterday morning, they have either been killed, missing, or wounded, which will be full of troops that can barely count a platoon around him.

Filtov looked up, "Haha, Yevgeny, didn't you lose all our things?" ”

Comrade Corporal nestled by the fire, "It's all in the car outside, it's the same." ”

In such a situation, the company can still be found, the driver Corporal Yevgeny does not know how many people asked, and twice his own treasure truck was almost requisitioned by other troops, this road can be described as full of dangers.

Filtov looked at the time and woke up the man who was still sleeping: he had been asleep for three hours, almost.

"Company commander, where can I send my things later?"

When Filtov heard this, he said: "The deputy commander wants us to stay here for the time being, and it is estimated that a new order will come soon." ”

A few people were called to go with Yevgeny to the car to get some marching food, but they didn't expect a few people to bring back a small crate with German printed on it.

"What's that?" Filtov remembered that his company didn't have it.

Hearing the company commander's question, Yevgeny said: "What I picked up on the road, blew up a German truck, and it was all food." The infantry comrades asked me to help drag the broken German car away with the cart, so they gave me a box.

Pavlov, the instructor who had finished baking his boots, pulled out his bayonet and began to knock on the crates.

"Hope is chocolate." The instructor's compressed biscuit bag was lost yesterday, and today, like everyone else, he was only given a biscuit for breakfast, and he was already hungry.

"Butter is fine, haha."

No one recognized the Germans, but the comrade driver on the side had not finished laughing, and everything in the crate that was pried open made the comrade driver speechless: inside were neatly stacked small boxes.

Chocolates also seem to have been served in cardboard boxes, but such boxes had been seen before by Comrade Driver and were found in the luggage of killed German soldiers.

An iron cross full of a small crate!

The Red Army soldiers couldn't tell whether it was a first-class or second-class product, but one thing was certain: it must not be eaten! I don't know what the expression of the infantry comrades who gave Yevgeny this crate would have been if they had known, and they would have given a box of German medals to the driver.

"Damn, I'm so unlucky!"

Comrade Driver scratched the scalp of his hat and said with a depressed face.

"Stop complaining." Taking out one of them, Pavlov said: "This side is at least made of silver, and each person will be given one as a souvenir." ”

After saying that, he threw the small boxes one by one to everyone in the hall, and in the end there was still half a box left.

The instructors said so, and of course Filtov had no opinion.

"Put it back in the car and give it back to the others."

Not long after the slightly depressed driver comrades threw the crates back into the truck, the comrades, who had only eaten half of the meal, received an order from the herald.

"Immediately go to the northern factory area, which part of it?" After receiving the order, Fertov asked the herald.

"It's about a kilometre north along the railway, and you're at the northernmost point of the factory area, and then there's the farmland. The men of the third battalion are waiting for you there. ”

"Got it, we'll be off in five minutes."

The herald walked away quickly, and Filtov shouted to his subordinates: "Hurry up and finish eating, and leave in five minutes." ”

After eating the food in his hand, he put on his boots and put on his equipment, and soon he was ready, and he didn't forget to put out the fire.
