"Blasting, be careful to be concealed!"

Captain Solzhenitsyn, the captain of the reconnaissance company of the 4th Artillery Regiment Company directly under the 4th Army of the Soviet Red Army (currently affiliated with the 3rd Army), heard a cry of unknown who it was in his ears, and then the whistling sound of the artillery shells that he hated broke through the air!

"Boom..."

Then there were two roars like a meteor hitting the ground, almost deafing the ears of this future great writer.

"Damn it!" He ran along the trench while muttering and swearing.

He had just attended the meeting of the 4th Artillery Regiment to celebrate International Labor Day. Because Deputy Political Company Commander Morozov was hit on the shoulder by a German sniper a week ago, he is now lying comfortably in the hospital in Smolensk to recuperate, so he can only take care of the political and ideological work in the company.

Who knew that on the way back, he actually encountered a German shelling attack!

Based on the movement of the fallen German shells, Solzhenitsyn knew that this was not the front-line German army using regiment-level artillery to fire randomly, or even division-level 150mm or 155mm cannons at the army-level, but German 170mm or French 194mm heavy cannons firing shells.

"Boom..."

Then two loud bangs came, and the landing point of the shell seemed to be much closer than the two bursts that exploded just now!

Solzhenitsyn did not choose to hide in the nearby bunker, but accelerated his pace. He knew that the German army was shooting at the school and there would not be any overwhelming shells to hit the ground. So he had time to rush back to the bunker on the front line of his company. It was a very strong bunker. As long as it was not directly hit by 170mm or 194mm shells, theoretically, those hiding inside should not die.

And that is Solzhenitsyn's combat post! He and his company are now distributed about 100 kilometers northwest of Smolensk, on the frontier positions of the Soviet army near the small town called Veliri, confronting the German army across the Velikaya River.

The Velicaya River is not a natural barrier, it is just a medium river with a width of 100 meters. Moreover, there are many places with shallow river channels that can be ripped by tanks and armored vehicles.

Therefore, Solzhenitsyn and his comrades must act as the eyes of artillery soldiers behind the front when the German tanks and infantry began to attack, and poured Soviet shells ruthlessly and accurately onto the heads of the invaders.

"What kind of invader is that?" Solzhenitsyn thought while running in the traffic trench, "The opposite side of the Velica River is Russia! It is Russia, but this is the Soviet Union... Is this a war between Russia and the Soviet Union?"

Captain Solzhenitsyn, who had been drinking ink for several years in the Department of Physics at Rostov University, was confused about fighting against "Russia". Lieutenant Yakov Fedotovic Pavlov, who served as platoon leader in the 13th Guards Infantry Division (which is currently in Kalinin Prefecture), would not have such strange ideas.

In fact, he was very satisfied with his current situation. He was not moved at all with the reactionary Queen Oliga's "Edict on Land Reform".

Because his ideal is to be a party cadre, not a rich peasant with land. What's the best thing about being a rich peasant? He worked diligently like a cow, but in the end he became an unforgivable bad guy.

Therefore, Pavlov was determined to be a revolutionary cadre since he was a child, and he would become a working class even if he was not good.

And he is now a cadre... Don't be a cadre with a second lieutenant! No matter how small the platoon leader is, he is still an official. After the war is over, he can at least become a collective farm owner. The owner will not agree to divide the land and work alone. Besides, the great Patriotic War has just begun, and there will be many opportunities in the future.

On the morning of April 30, when the German army began a large-scale attack, Pavlov was leading a platoon of soldiers to patrol a simple road covered with leaves and green camouflage nets through an endless forest.

"Hurry, keep up!"

Hearing the urging of the captain Lieutenant Sprosky, he was walking with the guerrillas in the forest near the Great Luki City (belonging to Pskov Prefecture) and Zoya Kasmodemiayanskaya was also as excited as Lieutenant Pavlov.

She is no longer a "bad" family, and is destined to be a tragic figure who is struggling at the lowest level with a household registration in Moscow (there are bad people in Moscow household registration, otherwise who will be the target of high JJs when fighting?).

Because of this sacred war, Zhuoya got rid of her own destiny, or she had become the master of her own destiny!

Zhuoya is now a glorious revolutionary soldier. This bad girl from Moscow has become the squad leader of a guerrilla team behind enemy lines through her own efforts. She also submitted an application to join the glorious Bolshevik Party. Zhuoya knew that as long as she made some more contributions, the application for joining the party would definitely be approved. At that time, she would be a member of the vanguard of the proletariat's revolutionary vanguard, and it would definitely be a problem to go to university after the war.

Years of dreams seem to be coming true!

Just a week ago, she participated in her first battle, burying landmines on a road leading to Big Luki with 4 boys and 3 girls (including Zoya, all from Moscow). And it seemed that something had exploded...

Today, the guerrilla captain Lieutenant Sprousky told Zoya that she was going to carry out a arduous reconnaissance mission, lurking near several important highways in Daluki, and finding out the situation of the passing German convoy.

Just as Zhuo Ya and others were quickly passing through the woods, a dull sound like thunder came from a distance.

"Listen, it seems that somewhere is thundering?" I don't know who asked.

"No, it's not thunder!" Lieutenant Sprousky was a veteran who participated in the Polish battle. He said, "It's firing! The Germans are shelling our positions!"

"German?" Zhuoya asked, "Do they want to attack?"

The second lieutenant nodded and said in a low voice: "It should be! Comrades, we are going to find out the reality of the enemy's attacking troops now. This is very important information!"

"I understand, Comrade Lieutenant!" Zhuoya replied, thinking that she would complete this task no matter what, even if she sacrificed her life!

Zhuoya and her partners were not the only ones who secretly made up their minds to find out the situation of the German army. After the battlefield situation reversed last fall, the Supreme Soviet Command issued an order to carry out guerrilla operations behind enemy lines. It organized and trained a large number of guerrillas and sent them to the fallen West Belarus, Ukraine on the right bank and Pskov areas on Russia respectively.

Because Pskov is a Russian-square area, its mass base is far greater than that of Western Belarus, which is originally a Polish territory and a Belarusian and Ukrainian settlement. Even after the Empress issued the "Edict on Land Reform", there are still many supporters of the Bolshevik Party. Not to mention that there are also urban household registrations in Puslav Prefecture. Just say that there are vested interests in collective farms, such as owners, secretary, accountants, etc., even if these people are assigned to the land, they can still be exempted from tax for three years and will still support and love Comrade Stalin.

However, reactionaries who actively sell themselves to the reactionary queen always exist, and Sergei Bunichenko from the glorious 1st Soviet tank army was one of them.

The 1st Tank Army where he was located was devastatingly hit by the German army outside Warsaw. However, instead of dedicating his entire life to the cause of GCism like most of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Tank Army, he chose to betray! He became a shameful prisoner of war! Not long afterwards, he fell to his knees under the court skirt of the Russian Empress Oliga.

Now, this former GC fighter became the colonel commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Royal Army of the Russian Empire. At this moment, he was leading a cavalry division pieced together by Soviet traitors and remnants of Tsarist Russia, through the forest area east of Daluki City (which belongs to Pskov Prefecture), into the west of Kalinin Prefecture for fire reconnaissance, and establishing a search screen that can cover the German flanks.

For national defense and security reasons, the southern part of Pskov Prefecture and western part of Kalinin Prefecture are both undeveloped forest areas and are not suitable for mechanized troops. However, the geographical location of this forest area is very important. The straight line distance from Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, is less than 400 kilometers. From Daluki City to the east, crossing the forest area about 150 kilometers wide, you will enter the plain agricultural area with good road facilities. It is only about 220 kilometers away from Moscow!

In other words, as long as the German and the Royal Russian army can control the forest and then cut down a road for cars and tanks to pass through, the German and Russian coalition forces can reach the city of Moscow in a very short time. Of course, there is another premise that they must defeat the Kalinin Front commanded by Marshal Zhukov.

Of course, the Soviet generals such as Zhukov and Pavlov also saw the importance of this forest area early in the morning. If the Red Army could firmly control the place and build several roads in the forest, the Red Army could quickly pass from central Pskov through the state of Polo that invaded Germany. The distance from this forest area to Riga, the capital of the state of Polo, was only more than 400 kilometers.
