Struggle in Soviet Russia

This report comes from the espionage team active in Minsk, and the content of the report is about some new German policies in the Belarusian region.

According to the content mentioned in this report, the German High Command appointed William Cooper as the chief representative of the SS in Belarus, which is equivalent to the role of the governor of Belarus. This man was cruel, and as soon as he took office, he issued a policy against the Soviet guerrillas.

This policy of his is not aimed at how to attack the guerrillas, but how to retaliate against the actions of the guerrillas.

The report is accompanied by an order signed by William Cooper himself. The order stipulates that in the Belarusian region, no matter which city or village, as long as there are German soldiers killed, then the German army will randomly select twice as many as killed among the local residents. The German soldiers came out and executed them directly. If railways, highways, bridges and even telephone lines in a certain place were damaged, then at least three local people would be executed.

This policy is quite cruel and will inevitably have a huge impact on the actions of the guerrillas. At least, it will affect the support of the locals to the guerrillas, and the support of the locals is the strong force that the guerrillas can operate for a long time. Assure.

"What's the matter?" Olica asked curiously when he saw Victor's face not good-looking.

Victor shook her head, did not speak, just took out the report in her hand and handed it to her to see.

It stands to reason that Victor's approach is not in compliance with the regulations, because although Olica is a member of the intelligence team, her position and rank determine that she is not qualified to view such intelligence documents.

Olica took the file, looked at it, and said, "What a devil, we should find a way to kill this guy."

Victor shook his head. Of course he knew he should get rid of such a guy, but the truth is that it is not easy to do this.

Without continuing to discuss the content of this information, Victor continued to look through the next piece of information.

The second piece of information comes from the guerrillas operating in the Chervin and Berzinnaka areas of the Berzina River. Just two days ago, the guerrillas attacked the railway bridge near Yeltsovo and wiped them out. A platoon of German troops guarding the bridge also blew up the entire railway bridge. Considering that the German army is likely to encircle them and suppress them, this guerrilla is ready to move to Shatsk and Shihchi, where the swamp water network can provide them with the most powerful shelter.

For today's Victor, the map of Belarus and the railway network have been installed in his mind, and he can think of where this location is without having to look at the map.

The Subersk Bridge near Yeltsovo is an important part of the main railway line from Minsk and Baranovich to Mogilev. As far as Victor knew, this bridge was not only defended by a platoon of German troops, but there were also two armored trains patrolling back and forth between Mogilev and Minsk. Under such alert conditions, it is not an easy task to attack the bridge guard force and blow it up, and Victor does not know how the guerrillas did it.

The report did not mention the details of the guerrillas' attack on the bridge, nor did they provide the numbers of their existing forces. This made Victor a little dissatisfied. He believed that the report should be written in more detail.

The third report comes from the guerrillas operating in the area of ​​Reczca. They mentioned a problem that needs attention. In the face of frequent attacks by the guerrillas, the German railway transportation seems to have modified the operating rules. Now, when the German train enters the area where the guerrillas are active, the speed will drop and run at a speed of no more than 20 kilometers per hour. This way, even if the Soviet guerrillas blow up the tracks, these trains will be in time. It is found that it will not cause the train to derail and overturn.

Moreover, the Germans seem to have found a way to temporarily repair the bombed railway in a short period of time and allow trains to pass. For this reason, the guerrillas hope to obtain a mine with a delayed detonation function. If they do, they can blow up the train directly while simultaneously destroying the railway.

In Victor's view, this proposal is really good. Nowadays, all the bombs used by the guerrillas behind enemy lines need to be detonated, and ordinary landmines are not very useful when dealing with trains. Ordinary landmines, if they are buried under the rails, are not easy to be activated. If they are placed on the rails, they will be directly shoveled off by the steel rail shovel installed by the Germans in front of the train. The bombs that are directly detonated have the best effect. But the guerrillas will suffer losses because they are too late to evacuate.

Therefore, fighting on the front line is the best way to accumulate experience. Those guerrillas who are really active behind enemy lines really know what equipment they need.

This report can be forwarded to the logistics engineering and technical department. The delayed detonation of landmines like this should not be too complicated. Victor hopes that they can take out the physical object within one to two weeks and then transport it to the guerrillas behind enemy lines within a month. Hands.

Looking up similar information is a very boring job, but if you get used to it, you will find some fun in it. Today's Victor is obviously like this. When there is no other work, he can hide in the room by himself. , Look at intelligence information all day long.

Of course, this viewing process is also a process for him to update information. He will keep the content of the information in his mind as much as possible, instead of waiting for the information to be used, and then search everywhere.

......

In Moscow, the alarm for air strikes has just been lifted for less than an hour.

Just an hour ago, under the cover of dozens of German fighters, a dozen bombers carried out a bombing of Moscow. In this bombing, the Kremlin also suffered losses. Fortunately, these losses were not large, at least they could bear it.

In the Lubyanka building, Sergei Arsenievich Goglidze walked into the door of the small conference room. He had just returned from Leningrad three days ago, and Abakumov took his place there. The reason for his work is that Comrade Beria is dissatisfied with his work there.

Goglidze was a little helpless. Recently, the NKVD has always used the intelligence work in the direction of the Western Front as a model. It often refers to the intelligence work in the West and the work of Comrade Victor Viktorovich. The General Staff How does the General Political Department evaluate the intelligence work in the west, etc.?

But is the situation in the west the same as in Leningrad? Obviously it is not the same. Since the specific circumstances are different, how can we ask for the same results on both sides? Gogliese felt that he had worked very hard. He had sent hundreds of intelligence agents to the enemy's rear, but still had little effect. What could he do?

At this time, there were already seven or eight people sitting in the small conference room. They were basically the heads of various departments. Goglidze saw that there was a place next to Ruhaze, who was in charge of Georgian work, and walked over to sit down beside him. I was about to say hello to him, but I suddenly noticed that on the other side of Ruhaze, a fierce guy—Vasily Mikhailovich Blokhin was sitting.

General Bloxin, this guy is not only famous in the Alliance Red Army system, but also has no good reputation in the NKVD system. It can be said responsibly that no one in the world likes this guy.

Do you know what this guy's nickname is? Yes, "Chief Executioner of the NKVD", he is not good at handling cases, nor is he good at personnel work or administrative work. He is best at torture and torture and organizing assassinations. Of course, he is also good at shooting prisoners, such as pictures. Khachevsky, Yagoda, and Yezhov were all executed by this person himself. A dozen steps away from this guy, he can even smell the blood on his body.

Almost out of an instinct, Gogliese wanted to change a position, but at this moment, Comrade Beria, who was dressed in plain clothes, had already walked in from the door. As a last resort, he had to give up this idea.

Comrade Beria is a person with a very direct working attitude. He walked into the meeting room and sat down in his own place. There was no extra nonsense, and he just said the main content of today’s meeting-to Victor Viktorovich. The comrade’s political investigation has ended, and now it is up to the committee’s committee meeting to determine whether to approve his promotion resolution.

The secretary copied several documents of the results of the political inspection, and all the committee members who attended the meeting had one copy, and naturally Goglize also had one copy.

When he got this document, Gogliese could not help feeling a little bit in his heart. Victor on the document was really young. He was not yet thirty years old, and the committee had already begun to consider raising him to the rank of National Security Brigade Political Commissar. Coming up. The most important thing is that he used to be a major national security major. From this level to the brigade political commissar level, there is also the level of a national security colonel. The brigade political commissar level is equivalent to a major general.

The political commissar of the National Security Brigade, who is less than 30 years old, has never appeared before the NKVD, which is really jealous.

There is also Victor’s personal resume in the document. Goglitzer read it carefully and realized that although this young man is not very old, he has done a lot, but judging from the tendency of this report, it is very Obviously, the organization bureau did not give him a high evaluation. Here, corruption in his private life is the most important comment. In just three years, he has had an ambiguous relationship with no less than four women, one of whom is actually a family member of a political prisoner.

The guys from the Organization Bureau have done a lot of articles on this issue, and they also commented that Victor is “good” at messing with his female subordinates. Of the four women who have an ambiguous relationship with him, three of them are him. Of subordinates.

All in all, this is one sentence. Although this person is very capable, he is not suitable for promotion because of his lack of private business.
