Red Moscow

After a while, a German pilot wearing a black pilot's leather jacket and a flight cap, with a medium build and freckles on his face, limped along under the escort of two soldiers with submachine guns. Into the command post.

Sokov glanced at him, and then said to a soldier escorting the prisoners, "Go and call Ernst here."

The bunker where Ernst lived was not far from the battalion command post, and he came over not long after the soldiers left. Seeing him enter the door, Sokov immediately said to him: "Ernst, we have captured a German pilot, please be an interpreter for us."

When Ernst heard Sokov say this, he realized that there was a German pilot standing in the room. He had lived in the Soviet Army for a long time, and when he suddenly saw a compatriot appearing in front of him, he couldn't help but feel very cordial. He threw a friendly smile at the other party, and then began to translate what Sokov asked: "Your name and rank?"

For this question, the German pilot answered very readily: "Second Lieutenant Grass." But when Sokov asked what unit he belonged to and what the reconnaissance mission was today, he remained silent.

Seeing the stubbornness of the German pilots, Belkin said a little annoyed: "I didn't expect this German guy to be so stubborn. I really want to order someone to drag him out and shoot him." Ernst, who was acting as an interpreter, heard Berkin Jin was getting angry, and he couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression on his face.

Seeing that the pilot was stubborn, Sokov knew that if he followed the routine, he would not be able to get any valuable information, so he changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Falling from high altitude, why didn't you fall to your death?"

When Ernst heard Sokov's question, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face. Because he had been staying in the bunker all the time, he didn't know that the women's anti-aircraft machine gun company shot down the German reconnaissance plane, let alone the pilot. In the case of a parachute being smashed, falling from a height of several hundred meters, it is still possible to survive miraculously. But his surprise lasted only for a moment, and he faithfully translated Sokov's original words to the pilot.

After hearing this, Second Lieutenant Glass said with a wry smile: "When my parachute was broken, I thought I must be finished. Before landing, I was blocked by those branches full of snow, which slowed down the speed of falling , where I fell to the ground, the snow was as high as half a person. Mr. Officer, it may be the combination of these factors that made me survive miraculously."

Liuba and Sveta returned to the company, called the three platoon leaders to their command post, and praised the female soldiers who had performed outstandingly in the battle. And commented on some deficiencies in this battle. At this moment, a female soldier suddenly rushed in.

Seeing this female soldier rushing in rashly, Sveta showed an expression of displeasure on her face, and she asked coldly, "Comrade soldier, why didn't you call for a report when you entered the door?"

After being criticized by Sveta, the female soldier not only did not show the slightest annoyance on her face, but stuck out her tongue quietly, and then said to Liuba: "Comrade company commander, I just saw the comrades in the guard platoon. The German pilots are back. Aren't you going to have a look?"

"I fell from a height of several hundred meters and fell into a puddle of mud. What's there to see?" Liuba waited for the female soldier to finish speaking, waved at her, and said impatiently, "Hurry up and return to your post." go up."

But Lida heard something was wrong from the female soldier's words. She grabbed the female soldier's hand and asked in surprise: "What did you just say? The soldiers from the guard platoon escorted the German pilot back. Could it be, Didn't he fall to his death from such a high place?"

"No." The female soldier shook her head and said, "When I saw it just now, I thought I was mistaken. But the man was obviously wearing a pilot's uniform, and I didn't see it except for the reconnaissance plane that we shot down. Second enemy plane shot down."

"My God." Liuba and Sveta said in unison: "It's incredible that the pilot survived." After the two looked at each other, Liuba said first, "Come on, let's go Witness this miracle."

When Liuba and his group came to the battalion command post, they saw two soldiers standing guard outside the door, all gathered around the door, looking inside. Liuba patted one of them on the shoulder, and when the other person turned his head, she asked curiously, "Comrade soldier, what are you looking at?"

"What else can you see?" The soldier replied with a smile on his face: "Look at the German pilot who was captured by our army. This kid is really lucky. The parachute was broken by you. He fell from a height of several hundred meters, but he didn't fall. Death is simply unbelievable."

"My God, this is actually true." From the mouth of the soldier, Liuba and the others were shocked when they received the news that the German pilot had survived again. She tentatively asked the soldier: "Comrade soldier, we can go in." ?"

The soldier looked behind her and saw that there were five or six people, so he said with some embarrassment: "Comrade lieutenant, if you and the instructor go in together, I can make the decision, but it may be difficult for so many of you to go in. There can't be so many people standing inside."

Sokov, who was sitting inside, heard the voice of Liuba talking to the soldiers outside the door, and he said to the door, "Is it Lieutenant Liuba? Don't stand at the door, please come in!"

At Sokov's request, Liuba and Sveta walked into the command post side by side. Seeing the German pilot standing in the middle of the room, Sveta asked Sokov curiously: "Comrade battalion commander, is this the pilot of the reconnaissance plane that we shot down?"

"That's right, it's him." Sokov asked with a smile on his face: "Comrade instructor, do you find it strange to see him standing here alive?"

"Isn't it?" Sveta looked at the German pilot carefully, nodded his head and said, "It's unbelievable that someone can survive after falling from such a high place."

Taking advantage of the gap between Sokov's words, Belgin interjected, "Comrade battalion commander, do you think we should report this matter to the division commander immediately?"

Sokov spoke directly to General Chernyshov through the intercom. After listening to Sokov's report, the commander of the Guards Division also exclaimed: "This is impossible. Captain Sokov, even if you are joking, it depends on the occasion. How can you take such a serious matter?" Just kidding?"

Seeing that Chernyshev didn't believe his words, Sokov covered the microphone and said to Belgin with a wry smile: "Comrade deputy battalion commander, the division commander doesn't believe what we're saying is true."

"Since the division commander doesn't believe it, we will send someone to send this prisoner to Suhinich." Belkin said confidently, "Let the division commander and the commander witness this miracle."

"Good way." Sokov immediately agreed with Belkin's proposal, and he quickly ordered Sergey Sha: "Sergesha, take a squad of fighters and send this pilot to Sukhinich The Germans are bombarding the city non-stop from the north of the city, after you enter the city, you should pay more attention to your own safety."

When Seryozha escorted the pilot to leave the room, Belkin stopped him again, and specifically told him: "Seryozha, remember to bring Asiya back with you when you go to the city. But don't worry about it." Don't forget!"

"Don't worry, Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander." Seryozha glanced at Sokov quickly, and replied bluntly, "I will definitely bring Assia back."
