Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 14: Germans come first

"Woo..."

The shrill sirens echoed over the entire city. People walking through the street raised their heads subconsciously and looked towards the sky, but they quickly turned their eyes back and continued to do what they had done before.

Since a week ago, such alarms have sounded almost every day, but the bombing by the Germans has never occurred, but a large number of flyers have been thrown down, and the citizens of Lviv have already taken it off.

With the frequent appearance of warnings, the real situation of the war began to be known to people, and this real situation was enough to make every Polish desperate: in the battle of the border, six Polish armies, a total of 800,000 people formed. The defense line was pierced by the Germans in just a few hours. In the following two days, hundreds of thousands of Polish troops were surrounded and annihilated one by one by the Germans in an embarrassing defeat.

There was no more shameful collapse. Millions of Polish troops were crushed under the attack of the Germans. Cavalry equipped with sabers and spears launched a death charge against the German tanks with their flesh and blood. The roads were covered with corpses; the so-called new fighters had no chance of taking off and were destroyed on the tarmac of the airport; the so-called solid permanent fortifications were like paper in front of the German armored forces. The shell was easily pierced.

The so-called third most powerful military power in Europe, besides Britain and France, was shamelessly masked, and its weakness appeared to the world like a fading pig.

In the Halitsky District, Victor, with a disguised face and a beard, walks on a street made of stones. Next to him is Sophia in a black dress. She deserves the status of a socialite. That's right, in Lviv, Sophia's public identity is a so-called high-class socialite, she specializes in matching business owners and celebrities, and drawing commissions from it.

When the alarm sounded, Victor subconsciously leaned against the road, almost pushing on to the wall.

Lviv has been blocked by the military since a week ago. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will. Therefore, the citizens do not know the situation of the battle, but such a blockade is obviously ineffective for Victor. Therefore, he knows that the Germans have already Advance to the outer suburbs of Lviv. The "Carpathian" army, defending the front of Lviv, evacuated to Romania under the command of Fabric without firing a shot. Lviv had actually been abandoned. At present, it is a small regular army and a large number of militias and police who do not know what the war is.

Except for the Germans to the west, in the southeast of Lviv, the Soviet army of four infantry divisions is speeding up here. They basically did not encounter any decent resistance along the way. The whole operation was like a trip. It's so easy.

Victor now has to worry about not destroying the city facilities before the Poles leave, but worrying about the large-scale destruction of the Germans after they enter the city. After all, according to the agreement between the Soviet Union and Germany, Lviv is to be handed over to the Soviet side. .

There was a flow of people on the streets, rich people busy fleeing, ordinary citizens trying to hoard some supplies, and hooligans looking for opportunities to take advantage. Everyone ignored the endless alarm, even if the sound was harsh.

The first shell exploded at the top of a church in the back alley of the street. The huge explosion and the billowing smoke and dust shocked everyone. The whole street fell into a weird silence, and no one screamed. , And no one ran around, everyone looked at the church in amazement, it was rapidly collapsing in the smoke and dust.

At the moment he saw the explosion, Victor had a very bad feeling. Although he was not a soldier, he had organized so many suppressions and cooperated with border guards many times. This shell that directly blasted the entire church down was obviously not an ordinary small-caliber artillery, but a large-caliber heavy howitzer.

"boom!"

There was another explosion. This time the explosion was much closer than before. Just across the street from Victor’s location, the shells hit the corner of a four-story building along the street. The huge explosion made the entire street tremble. stand up. With the explosion point as the center, all people within a radius of more than ten meters were affected. Some people were directly blown up with stumps and arms, and some were shaken to the ground, rolling and wailing in pain.

In an instant, the pedestrians on the whole street blew up, and people screamed and ran around, eagerly trying to escape as far as possible.

Victor squatted in the corner of a building on the side of the street. He guarded Sauvia behind him and calmly watched the pedestrians running around. At this time, running around in a panic is definitely not a wise choice. Stay away from landmark buildings, find a building that is as strong as possible, and hide away from the direction of the gunfire, so as to maximize the chance of survival.

The intermittent shelling lasted for less than twenty minutes, and then everything around was quiet. At this time, the entire street was already in a mess, and the so-called quietness was also relatively speaking. People who were wounded, fell to the corpse in a random location, lost their parents, and children who were sitting on the ground and howling and crying. In the face of war, anyone is vulnerable.

"The Germans are coming to the city soon," Victor said by rubbing Sauvia's shoulders to soothe her obvious nervousness. Occupation of important facilities, otherwise, the Germans are likely to destroy these facilities."

Sophia obviously hadn't experienced such a cruel scene. She said in a bit of a panic: "But we didn't get permission from the superior."

"It's too late," Victor stood up and said, "Now give the order first, and I will naturally take the responsibility."

"Good," Sophia nodded and said, "As soon as I get back to the base, I will convey your opinion to everyone."

From the current location to the agreed stronghold, there is still a certain distance. If you walk there, it will take at least ten minutes, and this section of the road is obviously not that easy to walk.

The Germans bombarded in less than twenty minutes, shattering Lviv’s confidence. The order of the entire city collapsed with the fall of the artillery shells. The Germans had not entered the city, and the city had become a mob. paradise. Honest robberies and unscrupulous rapes were staged all over the city. In just ten minutes' journey, Victor burnt out two magazines before bringing the dressed-up Sophia back to the stronghold. On the way, she made her mind. There are so many people.

Although in accordance with the "Lviv Plan", Victor made various proper arrangements. So far, all the facilities that need to be protected in the plan have not been damaged in any way, but what is out of touch with the plan is the Soviet offensive forces. Failure to arrive in time, the Germans came first, which made the whole situation very passive.

According to the agreement signed by the Soviet Union and Germany, the two sides’ occupation of Poland is based on the Curzon Line. Moscow wants to get back the land that was forced to cede to Poland in the "Riga Treaty", and Lviv was in Curzon. East of the line. However, the Germans may follow the provisions of the previous agreement and hand over Lviv to the Soviet Union. However, the industrial facilities in Lviv are not covered by the agreement, and no one can guarantee that the Germans will dismantle Lviv. They were all scattered, leaving only an empty shell for the Soviet Union.

In order to avoid the worst situation, Victor had to change his plan hastily and ordered Culkin to immediately launch a riot and seize the city's main traffic arteries and industrial facilities to prevent large-scale sabotage after the German army entered the city.

Because the plan was changed very quickly, Victor only had time to send a telegram to Proskurov, and then without waiting for a reply there, he directly issued an order to initiate an armed riot in the city.

..........................

In front of the dressing mirror, Victor slowly sorted out the buttons of the white lining, his gaze peeked at Sophia behind him from the mirror.

At this time Sophia had cut off her big wave, and only ear-long short hair was left. She stood sideways not far behind Victor, all over her body except for a pair of white lace shorts. There is no more cloth covering the body.

Peering into the woman's plump chest shape in the mirror, Victor was uncontrollably impulsive, but he knew very well that it was not the time to think about these things, and the goal was obviously not the right goal.

Forcing himself to look back, Victor fastened the buttons of the lining as quickly as possible, and took the brand new military uniform at his hand. The sporadic gunshots outside the window seemed to show the urgency of time.

Soon, an image of a National Security Lieutenant of the People’s Committee of the Interior wearing a blue military cap, a brown-green military uniform, blue military trousers and high deerskin military boots appeared in the mirror. After that, Victor will use this The image negotiates with the Germans who may enter the city at any time, and tells them, justifiably, that Lviv is now the territory of the Soviet Union.

Also in the mirror, Sophia also put on her military uniform. Unlike Victor, her hat is a blue boat cap, and she wears a blue knee-length skirt. The high boots on her feet are shorter than the men’s. A bit. As for her military rank, she was an unexpected second lieutenant.

In Victor's view, this military uniform is obviously more suitable for Sophia than those complicated skirts. The tight design not only brings out her slender figure, but also adds a bit of coolness to her.

"Let's go, let's go to Gorodok," Victor turned around and said to Sophia who looked a little excited.

Gorodok District, that is the only place where German troops enter the city of Lviv.
