Struggle in Soviet Russia

Dongdongdong's footsteps sounded outside the door, Victor looked away from the document in hand, and glanced in the direction of the door, only to see Varenka coming in from outside the door carrying a tray, and the plate was filled with ingredients. Bunches of grapes.

The grapes produced in Kazakhstan are quite famous throughout the league. However, this is not the season for grape harvesting, and I don't know where the military region came from.

"Comrade Major," Varenka said hesitantly, placing the tray in front of Victor, raising his hand to scratch the back of his head, "Can I ask for a leave in the afternoon?"

Victor looked up at him and asked curiously: "Something?"

"Hey, the first time I came to Almaty, I wanted to go around," Varenka said embarrassedly, "Moreover, yesterday I met a fellow, and I was very good at chatting, so..."

"My fellow?" Victor smiled. "Men's and women's?"

Varenka's face flushed quickly, and he hesitated for a long while, and did not say whether it was a male or a female, but from his expression, the answer seemed to be obvious.

"Go," Victor said, waving his hand. "Come back before eight o'clock in the evening. I'll use the car then."

"Yes, Comrade Major!" Varenka was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted.

At this moment, the sound of Dong Dong's footsteps came from outside the door again. Soon, Nino's figure appeared at the door. Her long hair was already wet, and her military uniform was almost drenched. However, her emotions It seemed very good, the ship-shaped military cap was picked up by her with a finger, and it turned twice from time to time.

"This **** rain, it's coming so fast," Nino didn't know how to say hello to the leader as he walked into the door, and said grinningly, and walked straight to the window and looked outside. Asked, "Are there any dry towels?"

Victor waved his hand to Varenka, indicating that he could go, and then said to Nino: "You should change your clothes instead of just a dry towel."

It seemed that she quickly lost interest in the heavy rain outside. Nino turned and walked towards the desk. She glanced at Valenka who had walked out of the room and asked, "What is he going to do? In such a hurry."

Victor did not speak, but stretched out his hand to open the drawer beside his leg, took out an unused towel and handed it to her.

Sitting on the sofa opposite the desk, Nino tilted her head and wiped her hair, and said: "I have verified that there is no one you mentioned on the tank division to be formed."

Victor was a little disappointed. The person he was looking for was Panfilov, who had been seen in the previous life movies, but unfortunately, after he arrived in Transbaikal, no matter how he inquired, he could not find this person.

In fact, this is the reason why Victor's previous life lacked understanding of the history of the Soviet Union in World War II. The 16th Army in the movie was the 16th Army in the defense of Moscow. Before that, this army had been reorganized no less than three times. To put it bluntly, this designation has been following the command of the group army, but the subordinate units are always changing. Therefore, when Victor happily accepted the new task given by Serov, he did not know how much this new task was. trouble.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it." Despite some regrets, Victor was not disappointed. He pushed the documents in front of him to the side, opened the drawer in the middle of the table, and took out a pack of cigarettes. Notice, at twelve o'clock this evening, we are leaving here with the direct artillery. You should also pack your personal belongings."

Nino put the towel in her hand on the table, leaned up, grabbed the pack of cigarettes and matches that Victor had just put down, and honestly ordered one for herself, and said, "What can I take away? It's nothing more than a few clothes."

After speaking, she drew up again, reached into the plate of grapes in front of Victor, pinched one and threw it into her mouth.

Victor looked at her helplessly, and he could see that the woman in front of him had nothing in common with Ji Ana except for some experiences.

Ji Ana is undoubtedly a woman with a strong personality and quite ambitious. Even though she has suffered several years of blows, she has never given up her pursuit of progress, while the Nino in front of her is the opposite. She is very carefree and even okay. He said that he was a little bit cynical, and he didn't have any respect for him as a direct leader. As for the attitude of work, I still can't see it. After all, after a lot of busy in Moscow, Victor has been free from Almaty.

As the representative of the NKVD stationed in the 16th Army, Victor cannot rely on his own efforts to establish a complete anti-intelligence and anti-secret network within the entire Army. He can only build a backbone, as for branches. The affairs of the country need to be taken care of by the many internal staff who constitute the backbone.

Seeing Nino swallowed the grapes in his mouth, took a breath of cigarettes, and leaned forward again, Victor pushed the entire plate in front of her, and then lowered his head to continue to look at his files.

Since the war broke out, Victor has always been paying attention to the battle on the front line. This is not to say that he wants to fight on the front line, but to be prepared. Now for the entire alliance, war is the top priority. Why should we establish a People’s Committee for National Defense that almost encompasses the power of the party, government, and military? The purpose is not to make the entire alliance run and serve this war.

In Victor's view, as an internal servant, he can avoid the frontline war as much as possible and stay away from the war, but he can't be ignorant of the war. Otherwise, if a leader asks him to talk about the war, he will do so. I don't know, I can't say fart, I guess it's not far from bad luck.

The front-line war entered July, and the war in the border area was basically over. Because before the war, Moscow believed that the main direction of the German offensive must be in the resource-rich Ukraine, and a large number of troops were deployed in the direction of Ukraine. Therefore, even if the Southwest Front Army suffered huge losses in the battles of Lviv and Dubno, the war in Ukraine has not yet collapsed. The Soviet army has built new defensive positions in the outlying areas of Kiev and contained them. The continued advancement of the German army.

At present, what is really bad is the war on the Western Front, which is the direction of Belarus led by the Western Front. Due to the complete failure of the Western Front at the beginning of the war, the 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 13th Army Groups have all been crippled and their soldiers lost. Exhausted, weapons and equipment were completely destroyed, and had to be pulled to the rear for rest.

It is now deployed in the direction of Belarus. To be precise, it is the Soviet army deployed in the direction of Smolensk, the gateway to Moscow. There are only 37 divisions, and among these 37 divisions, there are still full Severely disabled teachers whose editing rate is less than 10%. According to the report submitted by the Command of the Western Front to the People’s Commissar of National Defense, they currently have less than 200 tanks and less than 370 aircraft, which is no longer enough to support a large-scale war.

The People’s Committee for National Defense is now considering building a new direction on the line from the Dnieper River to the West Dvina River. On this line of defense, Smolensk is a key node. Therefore, Smolensk must be defended. , No matter what the price is paid.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, the base camp has just formed the 24th and 28th reserve group armies into the Smolensk area, and the 16th group army is also ordered to garrison in the area.

In fact, the work of the 16th Army’s westward transfer started as early as a week ago. However, the initial order was to go to Kiev and go first to the 109th Motorized Division and the 57th Tank Division under the Mechanized 5th Army. The 116th tank regiment has been deployed to Shepetovka. The half of the group army's field leader that arrived with the team received the order from the base camp and transferred to the direction of Smolensk.

Unfortunately, this unit of the Mechanized 5th Army had not had time to transfer, and the German offensive had arrived, so General Lukin, the commander of the group army, decisively abandoned the plan to transfer to Smolensk and moved to the spot. Organized the defense line and launched a fierce battle with the German army.

In this way, the situation now is: the 32nd Infantry Corps under the 16th Army, the remaining units of the Mechanized 5th Army, together with the commander organization without the staff team and commander, will continue to go in the direction of Smolensk, commander Member Lukin, together with the staff, organized the battle in Shepetovka.

Among the documents in Victor's hands, the People's Committee for National Defense has redeployed the 16th Army, and the remaining half of the Army Commander's organization went to Shepetovka to join the field leader's organization temporarily formed by Lukin. As for the troops, they will continue to Smolensk, where command will be taken over by the new command established by General Rokosovsky.

It stands to reason that as the internal affairs representative of the group army of the NKVD, Victor should have acted with the command organization of the group army, but the work of the NKVD is very special, and his backbone in the group army has just been formed, if If he was transferred to the Lukin combat group, the preliminary work would have been done in vain.

Therefore, the NKVD ordered Victor to accompany the troops to the Smolensk area and join the new field commander of the group army.

For this order, Victor definitely raised his hands and feet in favor. After all, Shepetovka was fought very hard in the ongoing battle, and in Lukin's hands, except for a 109 motorized division, the rest of the troops were all It was a collapsed soldier. The line of defense he set up in Shepetovka was not strong. Who knows what it will be like.
