Struggle in Soviet Russia

Started again, and on the train that continued to go west, Victor, with a gauze wrapped around his head, was half lying on the back of the seat, looking at the group of officers on the opposite side with an embarrassed expression. These guys did not study the military map at the moment. , But the blood-stained iron piece in the research tray.

Victor's army pants had half faded to his thighs and knees. Nino was sitting next to him, leaning on his side to treat the wound on his buttocks. His private parts were really exposed in front of this woman. Although the two are now equivalent to the relationship between the patient and the doctor, it is impossible to say that Victor can resist the embarrassment.

"This should be part of a medal," someone across from the crowd plucked the needle-shaped shard with his fingernails, and said in a serious manner, "Maybe it's part of a cross medal, you see, on it. The pattern is very familiar."

"How can there be such a coincidence," another person retorted, "I think this should be a piece of debris on the engine. You saw it at the time. The entire plane was blown to pieces, and it made sense that the engine was blown up."

"Don't be so exaggerated, it didn't explode to pieces at all," another person stood up and objected, "I obviously saw a large part of the nose of the aircraft fell into the woods, but I don't know if the guy inside has the possibility of surviving. I should arrange it before. People went to search for it."

"In that case, there is no survivorship," someone said, "you will die before you land."

The topic gradually diverged, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten what was discussed in the first place.

Victor lay down on the back of his chair, watching these people secretly laughing. He knew that these guys weren't really discussing anything. The reason they talked so much now was just because they had been frightened before and their brains were extremely nervous, and this would release this fear. People are like this. The more drunk or fearful they are, the more talkative they are, and they are completely subconscious.

Um?

At this moment, Victor suddenly felt a slight abnormality, and his Tintin was moved.

After a daze, he looked down subconsciously, and saw that a hand was pulling a roll of gauze through his crotch, and it was the back of this hand that touched his tintin.

"Cough", with a light cough, he raised his head again, and looked at the back of the carriage pretending to be calm, but Dante couldn't help reacting, which made it even more embarrassing.

Naturally, Nino could notice his reaction, but the woman had a normal expression. She struck Victor's buttocks with a T-shaped gauze, her technique was very skillful, and she had received special medical training. Because when wrapping the gauze, she sometimes entangled things like that embarrassing Victor, and she also generously stretched out her hand to pull him out.

After finally waiting for her to bandage the wound, she looked the same, but Victor was already sweating.

Seeing him lifting his pants, Major General Aleksenko, who had been sitting in his seat, stood up and walked over here with a glass of water.

"How is it? Is the injury serious?" Aleksenko asked, stopping beside Nino.

"It's not very serious," Nino said, packing the medical box. "The wound is in a fleshy place. I have stitched it up. It can be healed after a period of recuperation."

Aleksenko nodded, then turned his head and looked at the hard-skinned notebook that was always open on the table.

Without Victor's permission, he reached out and took the notebook, flipped through a few pages, and asked, "Is this what you wrote along the way?"

Victor suppressed the strange emotions, nodded and said: "Yes, it's just some immature thoughts that have formed in his mind this way."

Aleksenko nodded again, and said, "Is in the war? Where is it?"

"Lviv," Victor said with a smile, "Rudky's direction."

"Oh," Alexhenko was taken aback, then looked at Viktor and said, "You are the security captain Victor Viktorovich who organized the defense at Rudki. I heard from Colonel Schwogkov of the 40th Tank Division. After you, Rudki fought very well in the city defense battle, and bought plenty of time for the transfer of large forces from the rear."

Victor knew that Colonel Schwogkov, the 40th tank division under his command, was still fighting on the front line near Dubno in Dedovich. The conditions were very difficult and the battle was cruel. It is said that the entire tank division had one company. There are no tanks, but they are still fighting. Colonel Schwogkov's name has appeared twice in the "Red Star", and the title of Hero of the Soviet Union awarded to him by the General Political Department does not know if it can be delivered to him.

"Thank you, can I regard this as a compliment to me?" Victor turned around and tried to sit on the chair, but the wound on his buttocks made him unable to sit still, so he could only sit half of his **** in the chair. On the surface, the injured half of the **** hangs outside the seat.

"Hehe, of course, you deserve praise," Aleksenko walked to the chair opposite him and sat down and laughed, "But..."

He put Victor’s notebook on the table, opened a page, tapped on that page with his finger, and said: "You think we should not abandon Smolensk and retreat to Yaltsovo to Yeli. Niya deploys defenses on the front line?"

Hearing him raise this question, many staff members, including Tarasov, cast their eyes on curiously.

With everything that happened during the attack just now, these staff members have greatly increased their favor with Victor and no longer have strong hostility towards him as the representative of the NKVD, especially Tarasov. He has been paying attention. Following the movement here, after seeing Aleksenko picking up the notebook and asking some questions, he knew that Victor was not recording their "presumptuous remarks" before.

Faced with the question raised by Aleksenko, Victor thought for a while, and said: "With regard to the defense of Smolensk, the key question now is not whether to retreat, but when to retreat. I don’t. It is obviously wrong to think that stubbornly defending Smolensk when the situation is obviously unfavorable, but when the situation has not completely collapsed, it is also obviously wrong to retreat hastily."

Speaking of this, he took the briefcase set aside, took out a folded map from it, unfolded it on the small table in front of him, pointed to Smolensk on the map and said: "The base camp is now facing The problem is that there are not enough reserves in hand. The 29th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, and 34th army groups are being formed. At present, there is no complete reorganization work and cannot be put into combat. We still need at least half a month to one month. In order to build a defensive front in the periphery of Moscow. Therefore, in the thinking of the base camp, every step back must be cautious. After all, we can lose Smolensk, we can lose Lezhev, but we must not Lose Moscow."

Aleksenko smiled, with no approval or opposition. In fact, for a commander at his level, he can definitely understand the strategic intentions of the base camp. Compared with the strategic intentions, as a soldier, every inch of land must be taken. Shou is also the most basic mission.

At this time, many staff members had gathered around, Tarasov was still worried about the contents of the notebook. Taking advantage of no one's attention, he reached out to take the notebook, flipped through it quickly, and really didn't find it. What he worried about.

Victor also didn't notice this guy's small movements. He stared at Smolensk on the map, his expression hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he was worried.

"Actually, compared to Smolensk, I am more worried about the southern route, which is Kiev," he said after a long time without holding back.

"Kiev?" Someone in the crowd said, "What's the problem with Kiev? The report received earlier, although the Southwest Front has lost Zhytomyr and Bertichev, and the Germans have advanced to the city of Kiev, but they The line of defense has been firmly established on the front line of Il Pianhe, and the subsequent offensive of the German army is weak. It should not threaten the defense of the Kiev area in the short term, right?"

Victor didn't speak, he pushed the map in the direction of Aleksenko.

The map is large and the table is small. In order to check the situation in the direction of Smolensk, the part of Ukraine was folded under the table. He pushed it up so that the part of Ukraine also appeared.

Victor pointed his right index finger at the position of Smolensk, then slid his fingertips down, and finally slid to the rear of Kiev, to be precise, to the line of the Dnieper River.

"I am worried that after the German army has captured Smolensk, some of its armored forces will turn around and go south, cross the Desna River, and penetrate to the rear in the direction of Kiev," Victor said with a frown.

The line he drew with his fingers hit the heart of everyone present. Aleksenko said categorically, "This is impossible, this idea of ​​yours. It was an outright military adventure. The Germans would not do it if they didn’t lose their minds. Moreover, their main offensive direction was Moscow, which is certain. Compared to Kiev, the capture of Moscow obviously has a greater temptation. force."

His words drew everyone's approval.

That's right, for today's Germans, Moscow is ahead. How could they give up the opportunity to conquer the capital of the Union and instead besiege Kiev?

But no matter what you think, once the NKVD guy is right, the result will be disastrous for the alliance, because if Victor’s statement is established, then the German army will form a huge nationwide The pincers offensive, surrounded by this pincers offensive, will be all the main forces of the entire Southwest Front. At that time, the Soviet defense on the entire southwest front will collapse, and even no soldiers will be available.
