When Beria made the decision to transfer Soviet miners from the iron mines to Mirny and have German prisoners of war fill the iron ore mine labor force in the bitterly cold Chernyshevsky, Lin Jun was already standing in the bunker on the high ground north of Nemenchne, observing the German positions 5 kilometers away through the artillery mirror. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lin Jun was a little dissatisfied with the conditions on the position, and many of the comrades could only spend the night in a semi-closed environment on a snowy day: they learned from the medical department that there were at least double digits of frostbitten soldiers every day on this high ground alone.

Fekochinov stood on the side and introduced Lin Jun, during this period of time, the "small land" has been fighting large and small, and the Germans have gathered heavy troops in the front! .

"According to this morning's aerial reconnaissance estimates, at least one armored regiment should have been deployed in the grove 6 kilometers away from the left flank, and about a division of German troops in the rear of the city."

"How's the Nereis River freezing?"

"Based on the ice conditions downstream, it is estimated that the infantry will have no problem passing with light trucks, but it will not be possible to pass through tanks." "The climate here is a little different from Minsk, further north, but the temperature is warmer," Fekochinov said. ”

Lin Jun took his eyes off the eyepiece, looked at Comrade Major General and said, "Fekochinov, you can't take the small city in front?" From here to the Hilvensto-Vilnius road, and further west to the Nereis River bend, there is no upscale support point for the entire strip. ”

Now Vatutin's and Fekochinov's faces changed: the marshal is asking them to pull out the nail in front of them!

It's easy to say, but it's easier said than done, and the strength at hand is limited.

"Marshal, the heavy troops we have recently assembled are all in the northwest, and there are not many troops here." Vatutin, this can also be regarded as a relief for Fekochinov.

Lin Jun nodded slightly, he understood that the two commanders in front of him could see the fighter plane in front of him with the combined terrain and seasonal hydrological conditions - there was a river to the south of Neimenchine!

Winter is coming to an end, as long as the ice traffic is cut off, these tens of thousands of German troops in front of you are like turtles in an urn!

It's just that this "turtle" is very fierce, and it still wants to eat itself, so it's not an exaggeration to call it a tiger.

"If it were true in June last year, it would only take 12 hours for a division to completely capture the entire area, but now it is very difficult. You see, the Germans on the north bank of the Nerees River had at least 30,000 men, no less than 100 tanks, and at least two heavy artillery regiments. "Fekochinov is not a brute man, but he also dares to take risks," Marshal, give me two more fully mechanized infantry regiments and enough heavy artillery, at least two artillery regiments, and I will be able to capture the Nemenchny in front in 24 hours, and build a defensive line along the river. ”

"Nikolai Fedorovich, when will the reinforced tank battalion of the two mechanized infantry regiments of the Front arrive?" Lin Jun asked Vatujing, who was looking down and thinking.

"The tank battalion will be there by 10 o'clock tonight, and the two infantry regiments will be assembled on the north side of the high ground by noon tomorrow." Comrade Admiral said it cleanly, it was already calculating the marshal's bold plans.

"As far as I know, in Postavi, Belarus, the 144th Infantry Division has been reorganized, and it is still not yet decided which front to be integrated into, so I will borrow it from the high command for the time being. In Sver, the 1536th Heavy Artillery Regiment has been reorganized into a Heavy Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment, and as in the case of the 144th Division, these two units can be transferred here within 48 hours. ”

Lin Jun is going to transfer troops across the war zone, who makes Nemenchny only 20 kilometers away from Belarus, and then return the troops to Belarus.

If it were just a troop move, it could be done in 24 hours - Sverl was only 50 kilometers away in a straight line, and it could be transported by rail, and the time would have to be spent on the preparation of equipment, logistics and supplies.

"Nikolai Fedorovich, what do you think?"

"It's worth a try, Marshal." Gusev and others had already spread out a large small-scale map of this area on the table, and Vatutin pointed to the map and said: "Now Nemenchina is a huge bridgehead for the German army, although the heavy deployment of troops, but once it is captured by our army, they can only support from the direction of due north of Vilnius." Of course, the first condition is to be able to effectively destroy and control this section of the river with a length of nearly 10 kilometers. ”

"Once our tactical objectives have been achieved, if I were the commander of the German army, I would never have resorted to the practice of forcibly crossing and retaking positions, which would be a suicidal attack."

"Absolute control of the ice surface of the Nerees River is needed, and this also requires the maintenance of local air superiority for 24 hours." Lin Jun tapped on the map, "Change to a larger scale." ”

Soon two maps of different scales were brought up, and Lin Jun chose a large one with a compass and a ruler: "The 1st Fighter Guards Division joined this operation, plus all the bombing and attack aircraft units of the 16th Army of the Air Force of the First Belorussian Front within 200 kilometers of Nemenchny. ”

Minsk is only 160 kilometers away from Nemenchny in the air, which will make the Belarusian battlefield a bit like "warm water", draw it and "do it"! There is no need to change airports at all, the straight-line distance is "short enough", plus several front-line airfields here, it can ensure the formation of absolute local air superiority.

Eat one bite at a time, and the size of 30,000 people is considered a ruthless bite!

Picking up the telephone, he connected to Tukhachevsky's command and negotiated: the key was whether the action here would cause a chain reaction between the two armies along the entire Baltic coast, especially whether the defensive zone north of Vilnius could withstand the possible frantic support of the Germans.

Originally, Tukhachevsky was going to settle Nemenchny later, but since the marshal and his chief of staff thought that the timing was good and that "one vote" would solve the big nail in the southeast, Red prevailed and agreed.

"Andrey, I will transfer out the 94th Guards Rocket Artillery Regiment again, they will arrive in Panevézhs in an hour, I will inform the railway department and the troops, send it directly to Shiwen Jonis, which is less than 40 kilometers from the front-line positions of the 1st Division, and will be able to reach the required area by noon tomorrow."

A newly arrived Guards rocket artillery regiment, armed with 30 to 45 M-13 rocket launchers, can now be called up at any time for the commander of the Front, and for the attack on Nemenchne, a single salvo of fire can plow half the city!

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the High Command. Mikhail Nikolayevich, I think this operation was put under the command of Comrade Vatutin. ”

"I think it can, Nikolai Fedorovich will be able to do the job, and I will give him another half of the army command. However, Comrade Prenyakov, you will have to return my chief of staff to me within three days after the end of the battle. ”

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Tukhachevsky's tone was a rare relief.

"Definitely. Goodbye, Mikhail Nikolaevich. ”

The telegram dictated by Lin Jun just now had been sent to the High Command through an encrypted telegram, and soon after hanging up the phone, the call back arrived: the High Command agreed to the plan of the deputy commander and would issue orders to the Belarusian troops as soon as possible.

The headquarters was located in the headquarters of the 1st Mechanized Division directly under the NKVD.

At the Panevevez railway station, a military train had just arrived, and a new order was given to Lieutenant Colonel Tereshenok, commander of the 94th Guards Rocket Artillery Regiment, who had not yet disembarked: the two columns of the artillery regiment under his command were to all go to Svençonis and assemble in the direction of Nemenchny.
