Burning Moscow

Seeing Rosenberg and Greetka hugging each other, the German soldiers who pointed their guns at Trafkin and the others also put down their weapons and looked at the survivors with a smile. The touching scene when the comrades reunited.

After seeing this scene, Trafkin next to him took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, got out of the car, walked quickly to the two people who were hugging, and said with a straight face: "Comrade Captain, The joke is too big. If you don’t show up in time, chances are we will shoot through the barriers. Can you afford the consequences of cannibalism?"

Greetka leaned close to Rosenberg's ear and said in a low voice: "Don't confess your mistake to the major, otherwise you will feel better."

Rosenberg let go of Greteka, straightened up and saluted Trafkin, then respectfully reported: "Excuse me, Comrade Major. We captured this checkpoint early in the morning. Just now. We found that two motorcycles were coming towards us along the road, so I ordered soldiers disguised as German soldiers to find a way to take the motorcycles. Therefore, this unpleasant misunderstanding occurred."

After listening to Rosenberg's explanation, Trafkin frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that what he said made sense. All three of them were wearing goggles. When they rushed back to the guerrilla camp yesterday, even the old scout Alexander, who had been with him day and night, did not immediately recognize him, let alone Rosenberg, who had only a few sides. .

After a warm hug from Trafkin and Rosenberg, they punched his chest twice with their fists, and said with some gratitude: "Thank you, Comrade Captain, if you weren't leading the troops yesterday. Attacked the convoy we were in. It is estimated that we were all sent to Rivne at this time. Thank you for saving us."

"I saved you?!" Rosenberg was confused by this nonsense. He turned to look at Greteka next to him, and asked in amazement: "You know, from crossing the river to now, we It’s the first time I met, where did I start saying that I saved you?"

"That's it, Comrade Captain." Gretka has been dealing with Rosenberg for a long time, so he speaks relatively casually. He explained: "The day before yesterday, the major and I went to the city of Lutsk for reconnaissance, but we were caught A German containment team caught it. They said that the frontline was not strong enough. After regrouping us and hundreds of soldiers in the barracks, we were to be transported to the front line. As a result, on the way to Rivne, the front line was first. The car landed on a landmine and stopped the entire convoy; then a car behind us was hit by a bazooka again. We were in chaos and escaped into the forest. After walking in the forest for a few hours, we ran into this The owners of the two motorcycles and the three SS officers and soldiers who served as military police in the field. After they are killed, their weapons, uniforms, certificates and vehicles will be ours."

"Yes, we ambushed a German convoy on the road in Lutskrovno yesterday, blew up seven trucks, and killed more than a hundred German soldiers." Speaking of which, Rosenberg Ge couldn't help but raised his hand to touch the sweat coming out of his forehead, and said gratefully: "Fortunately, we only had one rocket left at the time. Otherwise, we would definitely destroy a few more trucks. That way, not only could not be saved You, on the contrary, will accidentally hurt you."

Trafkin looked around, and then said, "Okay, Comrade Captain, let's not stand here and chat. If the real Germans come, we will be in trouble. Let's continue our conversation in another place, by the way. Me, how did you get here."

Rosenberg asked the soldiers to stay at the checkpoint and continue to disguise themselves as German soldiers, in charge of interrogating the vehicles passing by, and instructing them to solve them if they see an enemy who is alone. After all this was ordered, he turned his head and said to Trafkin: "Well, Comrade Major, we can go." After that, he sat behind Greteka's motorcycle.

The two motorcycles drove in the direction he pointed towards the snow-covered forest. Because the snow is too deep to drive a long distance, you have to get down and push the car once.

About ten minutes later, just as the motorcycle was once again caught in the snow, when Rosenberg and the cultural relics expert got down to the cart, from behind a few nearby trees, suddenly two wearing helmets and submachine guns appeared. German soldiers.

Seeing the sudden emergence of the enemy, Greteka quickly let go of the handlebar, and reached out to grab the submachine gun with its big back behind him, but was taken by Rosenbergera. Rosenberg shouted at the two men: "Hey, come and help!"

The two German soldiers slung their submachine guns around their necks and rushed over to help the cart without saying a word. Only then did Greetka understand that the two men were not real German soldiers, but Rosenberg's subordinates.

The motorcycle drove another distance, and Rosenberg sitting behind suddenly said loudly: "Comrade Lieutenant, our camp is here. There is a snow wall in front, and you can see our camp when you go around."

Greetka took a closer look. A few tens of meters in front, there was a snow wall as high as half a person. Behind the wall was a wooden spire full of snow. Just after bypassing the snow wall, a soldier in camouflage clothes stood up from the nearby snowdrift. Seeing Rosenberg sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle, he politely greeted: "Comrade Captain, you are back!"

"Back!" As soon as Rosenberg waited for the car to stop, he lifted his leg off the motorcycle and walked to the soldier and asked, "What's the matter?"

"No, Comrade Captain." The sentry hurriedly replied, "Everything is normal. The soldiers are resting in the igloo."

"Keep on duty!" After Rosenberg finished speaking, he turned and pointed to a small wooden house full of snow, and said to Trafkin: "Comrade Major, it is a forest ranger's house. Let's go inside. Go take a rest."

Trafkin stood there and didn't move. Instead, he looked around and asked curiously: "Comrade Captain, where are the soldiers resting, why didn't I see it?"

"There!" Rosenberg replied, pointing to a snowdrift a dozen meters away. "That's an igloo built by the soldiers. From a distance, it looks like a snowdrift. When you get closer, you can see a house where people can live."

The four walked into the forest ranger's cabin. Although the wooden cabin was small, it was well-equipped with a table, chairs, and a small wooden bed. After everyone squeezed around the wooden table and sat down, Rosenberg said to everyone apologetically: "I'm sorry, because we are afraid of revealing the goal, we dare not live in the house, so it's a bit cold. Please forgive me."

Trafkin waved his hand, and said disapprovingly: "Comrade Captain, we are all scouts. We have experienced more difficult conditions than this. It's nothing. You can still talk about how you went so far behind the enemy line?"

"That's it, Comrade Major." Rosenberg explained to Trafkin: "My old superior was Lieutenant Colonel Sergeikov. Not long ago, he was appointed commander of the 51st Guards Division and was Promoted to Colonel. The first thing he did after taking office was to apply to Comrade Commander and transfer me to his division as a company commander. The night our division occupied Zhytomyr, he took me Called to the headquarters and said to me,'Comrade Captain, based on what I know about Comrade Commander, she might attack the depths of the German army next. You led a unit overnight and went deep behind the enemy while spying on the enemy. The deployment of troops, while destroying the enemy’s communication lines and logistics supply base, making the enemy’s rear uneasy.'” At this point, Rosenberg shrugged and said, “Just like this, I will lead the troops. So here it is."

"Comrade Captain," Trafkin waited for Rosenberg to finish, and asked tentatively, "Do you think our troops will launch an offensive in the direction of Lutsk in the near future?"

"Comrade Major, I think my news has disappointed you." Rosenberg said with a serious expression: "According to the information I have, the German army is gathering heavy troops and preparing to move from the north, west, and south at the same time. Zhytomyr launched a counterattack. Although our army is preparing for war, it is a question of whether it can block the enemy's offensive, let alone actively launch an offensive into the enemy's defense."

After listening to Rosenberg’s words, the cultural relics expert sighed, then turned to ask Trafkin: "Comrade Major, what should we do? If the main force cannot quickly attack Lutsk, we will figure it out. After knowing what is stored in the bank, maybe you can only watch the Germans go away."

Although Rosenberg did not understand what the cultural relics experts meant, he received the order to find some reconnaissance squad and accept the command of Major Trafkin. As soon as he waited for the cultural relics expert to finish speaking, he immediately stood up and said to Trafkin: "Comrade Major, the order I received is to accept your command. Don't worry, as long as the enemy transports what you are looking for out of the bank. , I must lead the troops near them on the road and grab things back."

After listening to Rosenberg’s statement, Trafkin stood up and patted him on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Comrade Captain. But we are looking for something special. Once we find the enemy will transfer these things. , We can only watch them leave without taking any action, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Rosenberg was confused by Trafkin’s words. He looked at the opponent with wide eyes and said in a puzzled way: "What, Comrade Major, when we saw the enemy shifting, we couldn’t take any action. I can tell. Something?"

Trafkin did not answer, but instead turned his attention to the cultural relics expert sitting next to him. The expert narrowed his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, comrade captain, you are not at a level enough to know what we are looking for."

After hearing the expert say this in a disdainful tone, Rosenberg’s smile froze on his face, and he said indifferently: "I understand, I understand. You are performing a confidential mission, and we are just cooperating with you. ."

Seeing an embarrassed expression on his old friend's face, Greetka took the initiative to help him: "Major, when you set out this morning, you sent Alexander to the east to find Captain Rosenberg, but they are here now. , Didn’t you let Comrade Alexander take the air?"

"Oh, Comrade Lieutenant, if you don't remind me, I almost forgot about it." Trafkin looked at Gretka, then looked at the cultural relics expert, and said embarrassedly: "But you both have to accompany you. I'm going to Lutsk, then who should I go to Alexander?"

"Comrade Major, leave this task to me." Rosenberg quickly appealed to Trafkin to resolve his embarrassment.

Trafkin thought for a while, then nodded and agreed to Rosenberg's request. Then he asked: "Captain, do you have a map here?"

Rosenberg took out a map from the briefcase hung on the wall and spread it out on the table. Trafkin found the location of Lutsk, took a closer look, then took a pencil and drew a circle somewhere, and said to Rosenberg: "Captain, there is a cave here, our telegraph operator It’s hidden here. Comrade Alexander started from the cave and went east to find you. If he can’t find you, he will definitely return to the cave before dark. So you just need to send someone to find this The cave is just fine."

"Understood, I'll send someone over." Rosenberg said, ready to go outside and call for someone. Unexpectedly, after just two steps, Gretka stopped him.

Seeing Rosenberg’s surprised gaze, Greetka kindly reminded him: "Comrade Captain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the people you send to the cave must not wear German uniforms to avoid misunderstandings."

"Don't worry, Comrade Lieutenant." After figuring out what was going on, Rosenberg smiled gratefully at Gretka, and said, "I will let the soldiers wear our uniforms."

As soon as Rosenberg left, the cultural relics expert couldn't wait to ask Trafkin: "Comrade Major, we have stayed long enough. When will we leave for the city?"

"Don't worry, comrade expert." Trafkin said thoughtfully: "We haven't found a way to enter the bank. Even if we rush over now, we won't have any gains. It's better to wait for the captain to come back. See if he has any good solutions."

After hearing this, the cultural relics expert said with some disdain: "He has never been a scout, can he do it?"

Travkin took the words of the cultural relics expert as the wind in his ears. He stared at the map in front of him, thinking in his mind: "Maybe our troops will not attack Lutsk for the time being. Maybe it is a good thing, because the Germans want to concentrate. The forces transport the soldiers, weapons and ammunition and various military materials that are urgently needed on the front line, and there is no time to take care of the cultural relics stored in the bank. This way, we will have plenty of time for reconnaissance." (To be continued.)
