Burning Moscow

　　 Hearing Vaskov’s affirmative answer, I smiled bitterly. It seems that no matter how I escape, I still cannot avoid the fate of meeting Lida’s relatives.

　　 Although I don't want to see Lida's relatives, I can't show it in front of anyone. So I pretended to be moved, held Vaskov’s hand, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Feijia! Although you haven't been able to find my mother and son for the time being, I still thank you."

Vaskov was also emotional. While shaking hands with me, he gently patted the back of my hand with the other hand and said, "Lida, don't be sad. I will help you keep paying attention. I believe it will happen sooner or later. Found them..."

I was afraid that he could not finish talking, so I hurriedly made a gesture and cut off his words: "Feijia, it's late, I'll talk about the matter of looking for my mother and son later, let's go to the village to find the troops." ."

　　 We both walked silently in the forest. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit deserted, I took the initiative to say to Vaskov: "Feja, do you remember Sergeant Kirianova?"

Vaskov smiled and said, "How can you not remember that she was your platoon leader. I remember when you first arrived at the 171 concession place, she was so arrogant that no one looked down on her. After getting along for a long time, I still I think this person is good, but I don’t know where she is transferred now? Is she alive or sacrificed?"

　　 "She is still alive." I gave Vaskov an affirmative answer: "I served as the antiaircraft artillery battalion commander on the ice transportation line a few months ago. Lieutenant Kiryanova is a company commander under my command."

Vaskov said with emotion: "I didn't expect this strong sergeant everywhere to become an officer now. It's really amazing." Having said that, he glanced at me, fearing I might misunderstand, and quickly added: "Of course and You are so much worse than you. You must know that you have been a general."

　　 Regarding Vaskov’s compliment, I just smiled politely and did not speak.

　　 At this moment, a sentry wearing a helmet, a raincoat, and a rifle emerged from behind the tree in front of him. He shouted loudly: "Stop, who are you?"

As soon as the sentry jumped out, Vaskov almost instinctively stood in front of me, and replied, "I am Vaskov, the squadron captain of the Sotnikov guerrillas." Then he pointed back at me, "This It is Major Oshanina of the 2nd Assault Army. Comrade soldier, which part are you from?"

　　 I walked out from behind Vaskov, and said to the sentry, "I am Major Oshanina, the commander of the 327th Division, where is your commander?"

　　 After putting the gun on his shoulder, the sentry stood at attention and saluted me, reporting: "Report Comrade Major, I am from the guard battalion of the Group Army Headquarters, and I am on guard duty. Please instruct!"

　　 "Keep on guard, comrade soldier."

　　 "Yes!" The sentry agreed loudly.

　　 I then asked the sentry again: "Where is this? What part of the troops live in the village?"

The sentry hesitated and told me honestly: "This village is called Piatnica. The commander General Vlasov and some of the commanders of the headquarters live here, and some of them have been dispersed and gathered temporarily. The troops that got up. In order to prevent the Germans from attacking, in addition to building simple fortifications in the village, we also released guard posts in four directions: east, west, south, and north."

　　 We bid farewell to the sentry and walked towards the village. When he was approaching the village, Vaskov stopped, took a bag of rusks from his pocket and handed it to me, saying, "Lida, you can go into the village alone. I won't accompany you in."

　　 I was very surprised by Vaskov’s sudden departure, and asked quickly: "Fejia, why don’t you enter the village? Where are you going?"

Vaskov smiled and said, "I am going to find my troops in the forest. I have some important information and need to report to Comrade Sotnikov in time." He opened his arms and hugged me. "Goodbye Now, my dear Lida, I hope you find your mother and son as soon as possible."

　　 For his blessing, I immediately thanked him.

　　 He took a step back, saluted me a standard military salute, then turned and left.

At the entrance of the village, a shallow trench was dug. There was a turntable machine gun. Two machine gun shooters and a soldier with a rifle, sitting or standing together in the trench, saw me passing by. , Just glanced at it, had no intention of coming up to question, and continued to chat with no one else.

　　 Seeing all this, I can't help but frown. The defenses at the headquarters are so lax. If soldiers from the Eastern Battalion wear our military uniforms to come in, it is estimated that the soldiers will be able to take the headquarters away. I walked in front of them, stopped, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Comrade soldier, may I ask, where is the headquarters going?"

　　 The three soldiers stood up quickly and saluted me. The soldier with the rifle reported to me loudly: "Report Comrade Commander, go west along this road. The fifth wooden house is the headquarters."

"Thank you, Comrade Soldier." I thanked him first, and then criticized them: "You all have your eyes wide open. Don't let the Germans with makeup come in. Just know that the group army command It’s not far behind you."

When I came to the wooden house they were talking about, I was stopped by two sentry guards at the door. The sentry said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Major, the commander is waiting for some important guests. I won't see anyone for the time being. Please wait a moment. Go in again."

　　 At this moment, a convertible car came over~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and stopped not far from me. A Soviet lieutenant wearing a big brimmed hat jumped out of the car first. He pulled the car door and respectfully asked the people in the car to get off.

　　 After the car door opened, a major wearing a big brimmed hat swaggered down. Seeing him wearing a silver spool of epaulettes, I immediately recognized that the major turned out to be a German officer. I stretched out my hand to get a gun, but I felt it empty, only to remember that when Rai was captured, the gun was found by him.

　　The Soviet lieutenant walked to the sentry and asked in a low voice, "Is General Vlasov here?"

　　 The sentry nodded vigorously and replied, "Report to Comrade Lieutenant, the general is waiting for you inside."

　　 The lieutenant nodded his head in satisfaction, returned to the German major, stretched out his hand to the side, and made a gesture of asking, saying, "Please, Mr. Major, General Vlasov is waiting for you in the house."

　　 Seeing the German major following the lieutenant, he swaggered into the room where the headquarters was. I grabbed the collar of the sentry and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with this German? Why does General Vlasov wait for him in the house? What is going on?"

　　 The sentry had an unnatural expression on his face, and he said falteringly: "The lieutenant was sent by the commander to negotiate with the German army. As for why this German major came back with the lieutenant, I really don't know."

　　 I loosened the collar of the sentry and pushed him vigorously. I couldn't help but get angry. I didn't expect Vlasov to negotiate with the Germans. What did he want to do? The German army major came to the headquarters of the group army alone, and nine out of ten, he shouldered the important mission of persuading surrender.
