Struggle in Soviet Russia

On the road from Lviv to Lutsk, Victor’s jeep was traveling hard in the snow. On the front and rear of his car, there was a military truck with a sail cover. The car was equipped with border guards. Of soldiers.

Culkin opposed Victor’s going out in such a weather environment, not to mention patrolling several major cities in the state. According to him, with the siege of anti-government guerrillas, guerrillas lacking food and clothing. The elements are likely to be forced to leave the jungle and attack certain villages and towns.

Moreover, the armed forces that are on the verge of the end of the government are definitely planning a counterattack at this stage, and their counterattack methods will become more diverse. Actions such as assassinations are the most likely to occur. The targets they target are, They must be officials at all levels of the People’s Committee of the Interior.

As the head of the Lviv People’s Committee of the Interior, Victor’s head must have been a highly coveted target by those rebel forces. Kulkin even felt that Victor was not safe in the Lviv city, let alone leave Lviv. Husband, go to all major cities in the prefecture.

However, Victor is destined not to accept Culkin's suggestion. If he just stays in Lviv just because he may be in danger, and does not say anything else, the upper leadership will not spare him.

In the end, Culkin arranged a platoon of guards for Victor when his persuasion was unsuccessful. These soldiers were not drawn from security forces lacking training and combat experience, but from border guards—someone might It is a false impression that the Soviet border defense forces are not effective. The fact is that at the beginning of the Soviet-German war, the most tenacious resistance and the least fear of death were the border defense forces.

The vast wilderness has long been covered by snow, no matter the direction you look at from a distance, the area within the naked eye is all white.

At this moment, the convoy just arrived at the Grulovo Village area. Although it is said to be the area of ​​this village, from the map, it is really close to 30 kilometers away from the village and town.

As the convoy continued to move forward, about six or seven minutes later, a dark gray "ribbon" faintly appeared in front of it. This ribbon extended from the northwest to the southeast horizon.

When the ribbon jumped into Victor’s eyes, he quickly realized that this is a highway under construction. It runs from Nova Volensko on the border to Stalino. Its function is Communicate the border areas with important coal and steel producing areas in Ukraine.

Taking out the map from his briefcase, Victor took a closer look, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was that he wanted to blow up this **** highway.

Speaking of it, Victor really doesn’t quite understand. Judging from the various previous measures, whether it is the relocation of heavy industry or the construction of fortified areas, it shows that Moscow is wary of the Germans. Perhaps the big figures in Moscow have already done it. Well prepared for a battle with the Germans.

But the question is, since this kind of expectation is already in place, why build such a highway in the direction from the border to the inland? And it's not one. As far as Victor knows, there are four such highways currently under construction: one from Transcarpathians to Odessa; one from Novovorensk to Stalino; and the other two in the direction of Belarus. superior.

The construction of this kind of road is undoubtedly a hardware guarantee for the rapid advancement of the German mechanized forces in the future. To a certain extent, this is already a standard enemy.

But when I think about it again, this approach in Moscow seems to make sense, because at the top of the Soviet Union today, I am afraid that no one will believe one thing, that is, in the conflict that erupts between the Soviet Union and Germany, the Soviet army will appear in the early stage. The scale of the rout.

The current high-level Soviet military has disputes over the use of the "Stalin Line" and the new "Eastern Line of Defense" in the construction of fortification areas. The starting points of these two disputes are in addition to their respective predictions on the time of the outbreak of the war. There are differences in forecasting the timing of the counterattack. Those who advocate the use of the "Stalin Line of Defense" believe that in the early stage of the war, the Soviet army may experience some defeat, but the counterattack will be launched on the Stalin Line. Those who advocate the construction of the "Eastern Defense Line" believe that the Soviet army should launch a blockade against the German forces in the border areas to prevent the spread of war on the Soviet land.

Facts have proved that these two views are too optimistic. The four highways that were originally intended to transport troops and supplies to the border area were all made for the German army.

The convoy drove across the highway under construction. Victor folded the map in his hand and stuffed it back into his briefcase. Then, he zipped up the briefcase and looked out the window of the car.

This section of the highway was built close to the edge of a jungle. As for the jungle here, it belongs to the "forest swamp belt" among the three major vegetation belts in Lviv. Jungles belong to the extension of the vast forest swamp belt in the Pripyat River Basin.

"boom!"

As Victor looked down at the exterior, there was a blast from the front of the convoy. This violent explosion even hummed the windows of the Jeep.

Almost subconsciously, Victor slammed down on the seat and threw himself on the seat. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the gun from his waist.

"Bah Bah..."

The intensive sound of gunfire like fried beans smashed the tranquility of the snowy field and jungle in an instant.

The jeep was obviously the main target of the shooting. Victor had just got down on the seat, and the window glass beside him was shattered. The broken glass **** scattered all over him. At the same time, he could hear the sound of the body shot. Boom.

After all, he has gone through too many battles. At this time, Victor was not in a panic. Knowing that he could not stay in the car, he crawled towards the door on the other side.

"Comrade Lieutenant, come down quickly." Just when he was about to reach out and open the opposite car door, the car door had been pulled open from the outside. Varenka held a pistol in one hand, and reached out to him with the other hand. Shouted Li.

Victor grabbed his hand and rushed out of the car with the force of his drag. At the same time as he landed on the ground, he stooped and rolled on the snow, slid directly down the roadbed, and rolled to the **** of the drainage channel on the side of the road. superior.

Until this time, Victor had the opportunity to watch the surrounding situation.

I saw the truck driving in the forefront, which was already on the highway at this time. There were soldiers on the truck jumping down. Move down in the carriage.

On the side of the truck, two soldiers fell on the snow. One of them seemed to have been shot in the head with blood on the side of the face, while the other seemed to have been shot in the abdomen, struggling and convulsing on the ground while holding the lower abdomen with both hands.

A corporal crouched behind the tires of the truck, directing the soldiers to hide in the aqueduct and launch a counterattack against the attacking enemy.

The situation on the latter truck was better. When Victor looked over, the last soldier was putting down the bracket of the heavy machine gun, while the remaining soldiers had all hid in the diversion canal and were leaping under the roadbed towards the highway. Shoot from the other side.

Victor lowered his body and looked from under the chassis of the jeep. Due to the uplift of the soil on the opposite side of the road, his vision was greatly hindered, and he could only see a small area to the left of the front.

In this area, he saw a dozen figures on the snowy ground outside the jungle, rushing towards the road. They were wearing all kinds of clothes and their weapons were not uniform.

"Tom Tom Tom..."

The sound of heavy machine gun shooting finally sounded, and Mark Qin's very characteristic call echoed in the open jungle edge, which seemed a little dull.

Among the dozen or so people in Victor’s field of vision, three or four were hit instantly and fell into the snow in different positions. After a while, the remaining survivors seemed to react and crawled down one by one. Fired back here.

Victor's somewhat rapid heartbeat slowly slowed down. He turned over on the snow slope, lay down on his back, reached into his pocket with one hand, took out a cigarette, and lit one.

Obviously, although they don't know which side this group of attackers belong to, they obviously don't have much combat experience, and they don't know how to fight in ambushes.

Looking at the previous explosion, if there is no accident, the other party hopes to blow up the first truck that led the way, and then focus on attacking the jeep in which he was riding. But I don’t know why. The most likely reason is the tension of the detonator. The bomb exploded early and failed to kill the soldiers on the first truck.

If you were a commander, you would choose to retreat decisively at this time and never fall in love with battle. After all, the enemy's battle has doubled, and continued entanglement can only suffer losses. But these people did not choose to retreat, but continued to attack, which shows that their commanders do not know how to judge the situation and do not know how to choose.

Moreover, if he is responsible for directing the ambush, he will never bury all his hands on one side of the highway, but there is no arrangement for the other side. Taking into account the existence of diversion canals on both sides of the highway, this kind of ambush arrangement is tantamount to setting aside a previously dug trench for the enemy. As soon as the battle started, the enemy hid in the trenches, but his side was launching an offensive. This was equivalent to turning the ambush into a positional war, and he was still the offensive side.

Taking a deep breath, Victor exhaled forcefully. He is now more and more aware of the importance of the art of command, as the so-called "one general is incompetent, and a thousand troops are exhausted", whether in a battle or in a battle. In battle, the personal ability of the commander does dominate. Victor felt that no matter what the future might be, at least in terms of learning combat command, he still needs to work harder.
