Struggle in Soviet Russia

Victor must admit one thing, that is, he is not an excellent military commander, no, to be precise, he is not a qualified military commander, at least not now.

Although he had also commanded bandit operations in the past, the guerrillas and bandits he dealt with at that time were small bandits with dozens of people and a dozen people. There was no fighting power at all, and the force he commanded was A platoon of cavalry-a cavalry attached to the Civil Police Headquarters, similar to the cavalry in Western countries.

Today, it can be said that he is facing a larger-scale battle for the first time. Although this group of guerrillas who attacked the convoy is messy in command, its number has an absolute advantage. Compared with the frontier platoon, they have at least three times the advantage in strength.

The commander of the border guards was a large soldier who was about 27 or 18 years old. When he found him, Victor’s cigarette had just finished smoking. Looking at Victor lying on the snow, the young man was obviously Relieved.

Afterwards, the young Tuas reported to Victor that the number of attacking enemies was about 90, but the equipment was backward and lack of effective command. Therefore, the superiority in numbers did not put pressure on them. He had already issued orders to the troops and prepared. Arrange an assault team to detour to the inside of the forest and attack the enemy from the flanks.

With a force of more than 30 people, sniping at an enemy three times as large as one's own, and daring to arrange roundabouts and outflanks, this young gentleman is bold enough, of course, it can also be said that he has enough confidence.

Out of curiosity, Victor asked Comrade Tuas some questions, for example, how did he count the number of enemies in such a short period of time. Tuashi told him that there were just so many battle formations in the offensive, such as triangle, echelon, column, and so on. When the enemy launches an attack, you only need to identify the opponent's offensive formation, then count the number of people in a single offensive unit, and then estimate the width of the opponent's offensive line. A little calculation can estimate the opponent's strength.

Tuashi also emphasized that the offensive formation of this group of enemies was chaotic, giving people a sense of disorder and chaos. There was no cooperation between the squad and the squad, and it was almost a swarm of rushing upwards. It can be seen that the opponent’s Commanders lack experience and cannot effectively control their forces.

Perhaps it was because the border guards had already mastered the absolute initiative on the battlefield. For Victor's questions, Tuas answered very patiently, which also allowed Victor to learn a lot.

Tuashi’s command was very effective. Just after the flanking attack launched from the forest, the stubborn enemy finally collapsed. They fled in panic on the snowy field, but left behind on the snowy ground outside the jungle. Corpses in one place.

When the gunfire subsided and calm was restored on the wasteland, Victor, accompanied by Tuas, stood up from the safe drain.

At this time, the border guard soldiers who had ended the battle were cleaning the battlefield. A corporal ran over to report the battle. In the short battle that lasted less than 30 minutes, a total of three border guard soldiers died. Seven people were injured. As for the situation of the enemy, because the body of the enemy has not been counted, it is not clear.

When the corporal reported the situation, Victor himself bypassed the jeep blocked on the road and turned to the other side of the road.

Looking at the clearing outside the jungle on the opposite side, you can see that there are at least 20 or 30 corpses on the snowy ground. The border guard soldiers who went to check the situation have been equipped with bayonets. Every time they pass by a corpse, they will stab them. Two dollars. Victor saw with his own eyes that soldiers searched the corpse and put the things they found into his pockets from time to time. This behavior is very common in border guards. If it is more true, this is a violation of military discipline, but no one cares about it.

Victor crossed the highway, climbed up from the drain on the other side, stepped on the snow in the wasteland, and walked to a corpse that fell face down on the ground.

He felt in his pocket, took out a soft leather glove and put it on, then squatted down beside the corpse and took a closer look at the clothes worn on the corpse.

The corpse was covered with a cotton-padded jacket made of linen. It was bulging. Victor reached out and touched it, grabbed another piece, twisted it with two fingers, and realized that it was not a cotton-padded jacket at all, but a layer of linen. Something made by withered grass.

He grabbed the coat on the shoulder of the corpse and pulled it hard, trying to turn the corpse over. As a result, the corpse seemed to have been frozen on the snowy ground, dead and heavy. He tried hard twice, but failed to turn it over.

Fortunately, both Tuss and Varenka who were in charge of the battle followed. They ran over to help and turned the body over.

The corpse was shot in the abdomen, and the entire abdominal cavity was blasted into a large opening by the bullet, and the blue-purple intestines overflowed from the abdominal cavity. This person obviously struggled before he died, and he fell to the ground and crawled forward. This inexperienced behavior was the most direct cause of his death. Because his intestines were dragged out in the process of crawling, and finally a large mass of silt between his legs was accumulated, and he looked unspeakable at this time.

Victor first looked at the face of the corpse. This should be a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old. Because he was lying face down in the snow, his face was frozen in a circle of snow, and his face was gray and wide. His mouth, and his pale eyes, which were open but unable to see a trace of black pupils, all proved how painful he was before he died.

Of course, Victor didn't want to check the death of the corpse. He tore the front of the corpse's coat and looked at the clothes inside. Sure enough, under the jacket was a thin gray sweater, which was autumn clothing, and in the bitter cold weather, this thing was useless.

Look at the corpse’s feet again. There is a pair of huge shoes. Victor doesn’t need to look closely to know that these are straw sandals woven from withered reeds. If nothing else, there is a pair of single shoes on the corpse’s feet. This pair of straw sandals, set on the outside, are used to withstand some severe cold.

Just looking at this corpse, we know that the blockade operations organized by the People’s Committee of the Interior in the past period of time have been very effective. These guerrillas, hiding in the jungles and swamps like gophers, have been brutally blocked and closed in desperation. The arrival of the severe winter has even worsened the situation.

Victor patted his hands, stood up from the ground, took off his gloves, and threw them on the corpse. He was about to say a few words to the tutor, but he heard the sound of the soldiers' laughter not far away.

Turning his head and looking in the direction from which the laughter came, he saw two soldiers standing there unbuckling his belt on the edge of the jungle a dozen steps away, and one soldier was kneeling on the ground. Pulling pants off a man who fell on the ground.

Looking at Victor’s location, we can see that the man who fell on the ground is a woman. She should have been injured, but she is not dead, because her mouth is still spraying with white mist, which is the breath of water. Qi is formed when it meets cold.

No need to ask, Victor also knew what the three guys wanted. To tell the truth, he didn't want to deal with this kind of thing. It wasn't a violation of military discipline, but he knew very well that the one with the deepest hatred against these guerrillas was the border guards.

In the past decade or so, the border guards responsible for the suppression of bandits in Western Ukraine are the border guards. According to the statistics of the People’s Committee of the Interior, in the suppression of bandits over the years, the border guards have killed and wounded soldiers every year. More than a thousand people. Moreover, the guerrillas used very cruel methods when dealing with the prisoners of the border guards. They cut their heads off and hung them on trees. This can only be regarded as a benevolent technique. pole.

Perhaps the original intention of the guerrillas was to use this method to crush the will of their opponents, but it turns out that their actions have had a counterproductive effect. As an armed force stationed in the poor environment of the old and the young in the frontier and poor areas for a long time, there is absolutely no shortage of undisciplined but determined veterans in the border troops. When dealing with cruel enemies, they choose not to retreat. Instead, he used more cruel means to retaliate back.

When Viktor was still in Shepchenkovo, he saw the border guards dealing with wounded prisoners once. It was a cavalry unit of the border guards. They buried the wounded partisans in the soil with only one head exposed. Then a group of people rode over and trampled...

The terrible thing about war is not that it will kill people, but that it can create hatred. In the face of hatred, how far-reaching people's thoughts are and how cruel means of revenge are.

Another reason why Victor doesn’t want to care about this kind of thing is because the border guards in West Ukraine are not well disciplined. If he rushes to stop him like a stunned boy, he might be hit by his own people. Gun.

Do not think that he is the head of the Lviv People’s Committee of the Interior, these border guards dare not kill him. Their team had just been attacked by the guerrillas, and then these border guards killed him here and pushed the matter directly to the guerrillas. Who could call for justice for him?

Yes, he is dead, and the border guards who are responsible for protecting him will also be punished, but what can be done even if they are punished? Let them return home, or change a place to continue to be a border guard? In the system of the People's Committee of the Interior, there is no department worse than the border guards.

Today's Victor may not be able to command troops, but in other aspects, he is no worse than others, especially in terms of judging the situation and understanding of the world, he is definitely much better than most people.

"Assemble the team and get ready to set off," Quandang didn't see what was happening on the edge of the jungle. Victor turned around blankly, and said to the embarrassed Tuas, "We don't have much time, we can't delay it anymore. NS."
