Burning Moscow

I looked at the T-34 and the two three-wheeled motorcycles parked on the road. I didn’t directly answer his question, but instead asked, “Captain Boroda, you don’t want to rate this person. Go and rescue General Vlasov?"

　　 "Rescue?! Major Oshanina, why do you say that? Is General Vlasov in danger now?"

"You are right, Comrade Captain." I pointed to the north side of the road and said, "Along this road, about ten kilometers north, there is a small village called Piatnica, Vlasov. The general and his headquarters are there." Seeing the captain turned around and wanted to go to the tank, I continued, "However, comrade captain, if I were you, I wouldn't take the risk easily. Because the village is right now. Surrounded by the Germans.

"Ah?!" Boroda heard me say this, and couldn't help but stop, and asked anxiously: "Major Oshanina, how did you know that the Germans surrounded the village? Did you just escape from there? ?"

"Yes," after I gave him an affirmative answer, I took the initiative to remind him: "Comrade Captain, if you can contact Commander Meretskov, you'd better ask him to send reinforcements. You need to know about Germany. People besieged the village with at least two battalions of infantry and heavy technical equipment such as tanks. We must have at least one division to have a chance to repel the German army and rescue General Vlasov from the siege." That's what I said, but I knew in my heart that, not to mention one division, even two divisions and three divisions would not necessarily save Vlasov. He has become a German prisoner in nine out of ten.

After hearing what I said, Captain Boroda frowned slightly and thought for a while before he made up his mind and said, "I will report to the commander." After a few steps, he stopped and said to me, "Comrade Major, please come with me too. I must first find a way to get you to a safe place."

After climbing back on the tank, he opened the top of the turret and said loudly into the inside: "Report to the front army headquarters that the rescue team brought by Captain Boroda, after traveling 20 kilometers northward, encountered a single Major Oshanina, who broke out, according to her, the Vlasov headquarters was surrounded by heavy German troops. Only with our existing strength, we could not complete the designated tasks. Please the commander to send me additional reinforcements as soon as possible."

　　 After finishing speaking, he turned his head and saw that I was already holding Alik to the side of the tank. He squatted down to take Alik over, put him on the car, and then stretched out his hand to pull me up. After I stood firm, he said: "I have told the tank soldiers to report to the front army headquarters through the on-board radio. We will decide on future actions when the reply comes."

　　 I looked at the motorcycle parked next to the tank and the six soldiers, and couldn’t help but ask Boroda: "Comrade Captain, how dare you go deep behind enemy lines to perform rescue missions with this person?"

Hearing my question, Boroda smiled bitterly and replied: “In fact, when I set out, Commander Meretskov sent me five or two tanks and a company of motorized infantry. But on the way to here, and The Germans encountered several times, and the other four tanks, some of them struck mines, and some were destroyed by the enemy. The motorized infantry company is the only one left."

　　 I originally thought that Boroda was a bold man. With a tank and two motorcycles, even a dozen people were full, but he dared to rush into the area where the Germans were heavily armed. When I knew that there was only this person in front of me, it was because the small troops kept fighting with the enemy on the road, and after all the hardships, they managed to get here.

While waiting for Meletskov’s reply, I suddenly remembered that after he saw me through the telescope, he quickly determined my identity, but I was very strange to him, and I didn’t know how he recognized me, so I said my question: "Captain Boroda, I want to ask you about one thing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I seem to have never seen you before, how do you recognize me?"

"Major Oshanina, in fact, we've seen each other a long time ago." Seeing my confused look, he went on to say: "I remember the last time you went to the 2nd Assault Army when the Germans attacked the 52nd Army. Matter?"

　　 I nodded vigorously, took Alik next to me and sat on me, and said, "Of course I remember that Commander Meretskov also asked me to lead the ensign training team and the junior officer training company to participate in the battle."

"When you accepted the task, I stood behind Commander Meretskov. Maybe there were too many people on the scene, so you didn't care to pay attention to me." Boroda explained the reason and gave it to me. I am a small step.

So I pretended to suddenly realize, and said, "Oh, you are the adjutant who was standing behind Commander Meretskov at that time! Don't even say that there were too many people in the house that day. I didn't pay attention to anything."

At this time, a tank soldier leaned out half of his body from the open turret and said loudly to Boroda: "Report to Comrade Lieutenant, the commander has instructed that the squad should return on the same route. At the same time, it is necessary to protect Major Oshanina. Personal safety."

　　 Boroda nodded at the tank soldier, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Comrade tank soldier. Let's turn around and join the reinforcements sent by the front army headquarters."

　　 I sat with my back against the turret, grabbed the handle with one hand, and hugged Alek firmly with the other.

　　 The tank restarted, turned around in a circle, and drove south along the highway.
