Struggle in Soviet Russia

Entering mid-to-late August, the NKVD’s investigation into the "Short-winged Thrush" organization finally entered the final stage. This time, the Committee and the General Staff took a joint action to identify hundreds of people as the "Short-winged Thrush" organization. The members of the team were all caught up in one swoop.

The NKVD’s position on these spies and traitors has always been clear. These guys are different from dissidents, rich peasants, and saboteurs. As long as they are caught, they don’t need to go through the court’s trial at all. The committee can be executed directly.

According to the data provided by the NKVD, since the outbreak of the war, the "Short-winged Thrush" organization has been involved in numerous sabotage activities. Among them, only in terms of sabotaging railway transportation, it blew up more than 40 sections of freight trains and disrupted railway transportation. The 120-kilometer line severely affected the work of the Soviet state in the fight against German fascism, which is a heinous crime.

If such acts of sabotage occurred in peacetime, the anger caused by these people may not have been so strong, but it is now in wartime. No matter what is involved, as long as war is involved, the severity of it will naturally increase several times.

Now, Victor is the execution order issued by the executive committee. As a member of the alliance system, he also has no good feelings for these guys, but even so, he still fulfilled the promise made to Ostakov. After changing the status of his family, he was exiled to Kazakhstan.

The interior of the mill has been converted into a temporary communications command post. More than forty people are crowded in this cramped place. In addition, the entire building is airtight. Although it is still early in the morning, the inside of the mill is already hot like a steamer. NS.

Victor walked into the mill with his hat and sat down in front of a chair by the door. A female correspondent immediately sent a stack of reports.

As more and more guerrilla groups and special agents are stationed behind enemy lines, the workload of Victor's communications command center has also increased. Of course, more and more personnel are assigned to the command center.

Nowadays, the communications command center under Victor’s command has four communications platoons, and a total of nineteen stations of various radio stations. This is only a part of them, and the main staff are not communications soldiers, but intelligence analysts.

From the direction of Belarus, a large amount of intelligence information is sent to various communication teams every day, and then sent to this command center by each communication team. An intelligence analysis team composed of 26 people will select the information they consider valuable. , Form a report, hand it over to Victor for review, and then he decides what information needs to be sent to Moscow and what information needs to be fed back to the front army command in the first time.

With the development of the war situation, the People’s Committee of National Defense and the Supreme Command Department are paying more and more attention to front-line intelligence work. Therefore, the communications command center under the People’s Committee of the Interior in all directions is also being given more and more efforts. support. Now, Victor’s command center not only connects the enemy’s rear, front army headquarters, and base camp, but can also directly connect with the People’s Committee of Engineering and Technology and the Communications Headquarters of the People’s Committee of National Defense for equipment issues, regardless of the needs of personnel or equipment. , Can get the greatest degree of satisfaction in the shortest time.

In order to ensure safety, the People's Committee of the Interior has also specially assigned the guards to the communications command centers in all directions. The establishment of a company, whether it is personnel or weapons and equipment, selects the best possible.

Victor was in a bad mood today. Just last night, he got news that a former colleague and a subordinate, Kubukin Ande, who worked together in Lviv in the past and fought side by side in the Rudki battle. Comrade Lejevic Isklov died. This grumpy but extremely loyal guy to the Alliance was hit in the forehead by fragments of German artillery shells during the battle in the Faskov area and died on the spot.

Any war is a tribute to Hades. Since being reborn into this world, Victor has seen more deaths than he has heard in his previous life. He was in the internal affairs representative system built by the 16th Army. , Now there are not many of the sixty people left, and this is only more than two months. But to be honest, the people who are really close to him are the most deeply impressed by Kubukin’s sacrifice so far. If this **** war continues, maybe someday in the future, even if there is a close relationship. Victor didn't feel any deep feelings anymore.

Light up a cigarette for himself, take a deep breath, and feel the pungent taste, Victor rejects all the negative emotions in his heart as much as possible, so as to calm himself down and analyze the intelligence seriously.

The first piece of information is a report on the operation of the guerrilla squad behind enemy lines in the last two days. The "Esuki" guerrilla group led by Lieutenant Silvin attacked the railway from Minsk to Orsha. , They blew up the railway bridge over the Berezina River and burned down the Zokino Railway Station.

Reports like this are of certain value to the Western Front Army headquarters, but they are not of much value, because with the capabilities of the German Pontoon Bridge, they can repair the railway bridge within three to five days.

The second report comes from the guerrillas under the command of Labannock. In this report, Labannock reports on the discovery of the guerrillas in Shumilino. A group of German engineers is building a new advance in Shumilino. Airport. This airport is less than ten kilometers away from Vitebsk, and judging from the size of the airport, it should be able to hold at least thirty to fifty fighters.

"Valenka, get me the map," Victor turned his head and said to Varenka not far from the door.

"Yes," Varenka rushed all the way, rushed into the mill, and brought a map.

Holding the two corners of the map, he unfolded the entire map in front of Victor.

Victor frowned and looked at the map, first to find the location of Vitebsk, and then to Sumilino.

For Victor, such intelligence is the most valuable. The German army's forward airfield built by Shumilino means that the distance of its aerial attack is close to the front line by nearly 60 kilometers. As a result, the time of its aerial attack on the Jaltsovo area will be shortened to 20 minutes to 2 minutes. Within fifteen minutes. In general, a forward airport like this will not only build one, nor will it just build a solitary airport, and the corresponding radar base station must also be under construction.

This information needs to be copied to the front army command and base camp. At the same time, the air defense headquarters also needs to copy a copy, because such a forward airport is only more than 100 kilometers away from Moscow. It will also bring a lot of pressure.

"Zalina," Victor greeted a female soldier sitting at a table not far away after selecting this report, "put this in the second tier and copy it to the Front Command and Moscow. "

The female soldier got up and walked over, took the document, answered "Yes" crisply, and walked away quickly.

"Is Olica back?" Victor said to Varenka without raising his head while continuing to look through the documents below.

"Not yet," Varenka folded up the map, glanced at Victor secretly, and said hesitantly, "Comrade Major, what awards do you think will be given to us this time?"

Victor continued to look at the file, but smiled in his mouth: "How do I know? It was Olica going to the meeting, not me."

Three days ago, Olica, on behalf of the People’s Committee of the People’s Committee of the Western Front, went to Moscow to attend a meeting. Give recognition. Although in this case, the NKVD in the direction of the Western Front did not participate in the later investigations, the main clues of the premise were provided by Victor after all. Therefore, they cannot be absent.

Originally, this meeting was supposed to be attended by Victor himself, but the frontline war was tense, and Victor's responsibilities were heavy and inseparable, so Olica went to Moscow as a representative. Moreover, in the final analysis, the original clues of this case were provided by Olica, and she was also the person who received the commendation, so it was appropriate to let her go.

"Comrade Major, do you think I can get a commendation or something?" Varenka hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but ask with anticipation.

Victor looked up at him, smiled, and said nothing.

Now Varenka's position is similar to Victor's life assistant. Officially called an orderly soldier, his promotion is closely related to Victor's promotion. Just like this time, Moscow asked Victor to make a list of meritorious personnel, similar to Olica and those who directly participated in the handling of the case, Victor would recommend the corresponding recognition, but Varenka did not. But in order to take care of his own people, Victor also took this opportunity to write a report recommending promotion to Varenka, but it was a promotion of a non-commissioned officer, and there was a high probability that it would not be rejected by Moscow.

Although he didn't get any answer from Victor's mouth, Varenka understood the meaning of Comrade Lieutenant Colonel's smile. He smirked twice before turning around and approaching the female soldier named Zarina.

Although they are in a war period, people's lives will continue. Compared with peace times, the only difference is that everyone does not know whether he will be alive tomorrow or whether his loved one will be alive tomorrow. Can you still be by your side.

Just like Varenka, this young man is an optimistic person. He has recently fallen in love with the female soldier Zarina from Moldavia and is pursuing them. It's just a pity that they seem to have no interest in him.

Seeing his orderly soldier turned into a little licking dog, Victor shook his head helplessly, and then he heard the crisp gunfire.
