Who is who in the RVSN. Zakharov Vladimir Leonidovich
Fancy attacks
Cavkorpus continuously spent unsuccessful fights, seeking to break through through the Warsaw highway.
The Germans, as always, having tightening the mobile reserve on the highway, with the help of fire of artillery, tanks and aviation, easily defeated his attacks. Now the fighters survived were in deep snow, on a strong frost, hungry, exhausted battles and sleepless nights. And those who do not fall asleep, will not freeze and wait for the darkness, will be able to move away to the nearest settlements, it will be possible to rebuild, at least a little snack, but the most important thing is to calm down if tomorrow at dawn will not be sent to battle tomorrow. In the evening in the house of the chief of intelligence of the building A.K. Kononenko entered the Communication Head Colonel Bukhiko and said:
- Deputy Zhukova General G.F. Zakharov * ". He is from Belov. Driving on Sanya from Kaluga himself, it was visible, I was afraid to fly on U-2. Causes you with a report.
When Kononenko entered Belov's house, there was a stranger with a wide, sullen face of an unfamiliar general. He silently showed him on the table with his hand, giving to understand where he should deploy his card for the report. Kononenko reported that on the site of the Warsaw highway, where the body was unsuccessfully tried to break through, the 10th German Money Motion was defended, and the right and left - 34th, as well as the 216th Infantry Divisions. All indicated compounds were part of the 4th German army. The depth of the defense of the Germans was small. The highways were located in the settlements, adapting them, as a rule, to circular defense. The roads between such items were cleared, and they patrolled tanks and armored personnel carriers.
* Georgy Fedorovich Zakharov (1897-1957). In the Soviet Army and the CPSU since 1919. A participant in the Civil War. Since 1939, after the end of the Military Academy, the General Staff is the head of the Ural Staff. Since June 1941 - Major General. During the war, the head of the headquarters of the 22nd Army, the head of the headquarters and the commander of the Bryansky front, from December 1941 to May 1942 - Deputy Commander of the Western Front, then the head of the headquarters and deputy commander of a number of fronts, from June to November 1944 - Commander of the 2nd Belarusian Front, then the commander of the 4th GW. army. Since 1944 - Army General. After the war, Committing the Military District. (Great Patriotic War, Encyclopedia, p. 282).
The general listened, without interrupting, but the fingers on his hands and the knees trembled. He quietly asked with some hiss: "Well, one lousy division of the Germans is defended in front of you, and you are going to batch in place in place and you can't break through her weak defense?" He fell silent, deeply inhaled the air, delayed and said again: "In addition, you have two small divisions, and you ..." And he cursed dirty, with difficulty holding away anger. The general one, it can be seen, did not know that the light cavalry divisions, and the two rifle divisions had less than three thousand people each, which is the main burden of combat, lay on two Guards Cavalry Divisions. But they went to the attack on the tanks and the fortifications of the Germans almost with bare hands, carried huge losses.
"No, Comrade General," replied Kononenko, - without tanks, without artillery through the highway we should not break through. We will put all people, and there will be no success. And the division of the Germans is not so Parshiva, as you said, she has almost ten thousand people, there are enough tanks, in an unlimited amount of ammunition, her soldiers are heated in settlements and in specially equipped dugouts, it does not feel a shortage of food, and we? We fight with almost bare hands and, in addition, the injignment, we even have a horse often remain without fuez, and what is the sense from the cavalry, if his horse is hungry? "
The misfortune of Kononenko, as it turned out, was in the inability to crush the soul.
Zakharov sharply moved his reporting card, giving it to understand that the report was over, sat on a chair and, often breathe, asked: "And why don't you have tanks, artillery, shells, min?" He took a deep breath, took a pause, jumped up and shouted pickedly: "So-y-u? Where is food?! Where are your rear?! " And again rudely swore. The question was asked clearly not to the address. In addition, the answer should be kept on such questions. The front of the front clearly did not cope with his responsibilities for ensuring and supplying troops. He worked in the dissonance with the tasks that the commander put the troops. Or maybe the commander acted in dissonance with the capabilities of the rear?
Kononenko watched Zakharov in surprise. That sweated, his eyes, who came out of the orbits, did not see anyone. He rushed to Kononenko. In the face of which he cried the blow of the pistol "Walter" and shouted to Fallete: "Shot, bastard, who should clear the road I, yes?! I myself went to you on the sleigh! I - deputy. Complert! " At the same moment, the representative of Aviation, General Nikolanko, appeared between them. He easily, with his left hand pulled Zakharov's gun, and in his right hand he held the cigarette "Kazbek" with a revealed box. Running the box almost to the very face of the sworded general, he calmly and persistently told: "Do not worry, snack a cigarette, snack, zero!" At the same time, with his left hand for his back he made Kononenko signs - go away.
Returning to his house, Kononenko caught there Bukhiko and the head of the special department of the Cobernyuk. In a few words told them about the "report."
"Do not pay attention," said Cobernyuk, "I know this abnormal time from a pre-war time, he then chose a" number ". In short, we will not give you offense. Beleov will arrive, we will talk to him on this issue. "
In the evening, General Belov arrived and headquarters headquarters Colonel of Greeks. Zakomfront, after a stormy scandal, I slept tightly, and General Nikolanko told them in detail about what happened.
General Belov called Kononenko and asked: "Well, how did you like the new" bomber "?". With the light hand of Belova, all the headquarters began to call General Zakharov "Bomber". But he brought the corpus much more misfortunes and victims than a bomber could bring.
Only later, carefully looking at the actions, the words and actions of Zakharov, Kononenko, as he writes, I understood what a terrible malice was filled with all his creature, as he wildly hated people. An angry mist is his and so not a clear reason. In his old notebook about Zakharov, it is written: "... He is so abundant and tightly filled with anger that no other qualities can already be accommodated in it. Glory to many generals comes through the mountains of corpses. Their glory is always accompanied by death. There was no case that the general refuses the awarded award due to the fact that his merit cost hundreds of times more lives and blood than could cost. I always caused a bewilderment, as such people as Zakharov and such people, trust and subjugate the troops? ".
