Red Moscow

Lin Hua's automatic sled arrived at the destination in just five or six minutes. He asked Yakup to park the sled by the side of the road, then jumped off the crowbar, moved his hands and feet that were somewhat frozen, and stood on the side of the road to watch the supplies discarded by the German army.

When they saw the snow-covered tanks, trucks, artillery of various calibers, and countless supplies abandoned on the road, the soldiers who had just got off the pry board couldn't help but exclaimed.

Yakup pushed open the door of the driver's cab, came to Lin Hua's side, and said with emotion: "Comrade Lieutenant, I really didn't expect that the terrorists would leave so many good things along the way when they were escaping. I It can be seen that even if these weapons and equipment are used to form a new infantry division, it is more than enough."

Vasily, who was standing on the other side of Linhua, after hearing what Yakup said, asked tentatively: "Comrade company commander, you said that the Germans will be driven out of the border by our army in one go just like Napoleon back then. ?"

"Don't look at how many things they discarded when they fled, but the Germans are not Napoleon. Even if they were driven away from Moscow by our army, after they panicked at the beginning, they would stop and stop us. Going forward, the farther our army is from Moscow, the stronger the resistance it will encounter." Lin Hua pointed to the technical equipment on the road, and said to Vasily: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, take someone to check first, See where there are landmines, and clean up the ones that can be cleared; mark the ones that can’t be cleared, so that our people don’t step on them. When Vanya and the others arrive with their troops, we will start collecting materials.”

Before the prisoners escorted by Vanya and others arrived, the deputy company commander who went to pick them up from the village came back first. After all, the load of these sledges was much lighter than before, so the time spent on the road was greatly shortened. Yakup found that there was a German prisoner in the new team, but what was strange was that the soldiers around him seemed to turn a blind eye to him, and no one took care of him at all. Seeing this situation, he quickly asked Lin Hua: "Comrade Lieutenant, what happened to that prisoner? Why didn't your soldiers stare at him? Aren't they afraid that he would run away?"

"That's Corporal Ernst, a prisoner we captured near the Istria Reservoir." Lin Hua explained to Yakup: "The reason why I keep him with me is because he can be of great use. "

"Great purpose?" Hearing what Lin Hua said, Yakup couldn't help asking curiously: "Comrade Lieutenant, can I ask, is there any great purpose he can use?"

"He speaks Russian very well, and he is very cooperative with our work." Faced with Yakup's questioning, Lin Hua said with a smile: "If we capture prisoners, he can also act as an interpreter for us."

Seryozha walked up to Lin Hua and Yakup, raised his hand to salute, and then asked who to report to and made a mistake. Although Lin Hua was his immediate boss, there was a group of people standing beside him. A captain with a higher rank than him.

Seeing Seryozha's embarrassment, Yakup smiled and said to him: "Comrade soldier, report to your company commander. He is currently in command of our unit."

Hearing what Yakup said, Seriosha showed a surprised expression on his face, but he still reported to Lin Hua in accordance with the regulations: "Report to Comrade Lieutenant, all the remaining troops have been ordered to arrive, and we are waiting for your instructions." !"

Lin Hua glanced behind him and saw Asiya standing in the crowd. Seeing Lin Hua looking towards her, a blush appeared on Assia's fair face, she raised her hand parallel to her shoulders, and waved gently towards Lin Hua.

"Seryozha!" After Lin Hua and Asiya exchanged glances, they turned their attention to Sergesha and said to him: "The task given to our company by the superior is to abandon the Germans on this road. Collect the materials." He pointed towards the distance with his hand, and continued, "Your class is responsible for cleaning up all the things that hinder traffic on this section of the road, and then pile them up to the side of the road."

When Seryozha led his men to clean up the supplies on the road, Yakup pointed to a short-barreled No. 4 tank lying in the middle of the road and said: "It seems that we need to find some tank soldiers to get this damn tank out of the way." German tanks move away."

"Let me try," Lin Hua handed the rifle in his hand to Yakupu, and said while taking off his military coat, "As long as the tank is not destroyed and there is still fuel in the tank, I can find a way to kill the tank." It pulled over to the side of the road."

Hearing what Lin Hua said, Yakup looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Comrade Lieutenant, did I hear correctly? You just said that you plan to drive this tank to the side of the road?"

"Yes, Captain Yakup." Lin Hua stuffed the military coat he had just taken off into his arms, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"But, but you are just an infantryman." Yakup said a little dumbfounded: "To be honest, I have never seen that infantryman who can drive a tank. Of course, the kind of infantryman who has to pick up a gun and become an infantryman because of the loss of a tank Except for the fighters."

Lin Hua didn't explain, just smiled at him, and walked quickly to the tank. He walked around the tank and saw that the tank showed no signs of being destroyed. It should be that the tanker saw that the road ahead was blocked and impassable, so he had to throw away the tank. After checking the tank, he quickly got on the tank body, opened the hatch and got in.

Lin Hua, who was sitting in the driver's seat, after some inspections, found that the driving style of the German tanks was similar to that of the Soviets. He started the tank familiarly, waited for the engine to warm up for a while, and let the tank drive backwards. After leaving the road, I drove into the snow on the side of the road.

At this moment, Vanya and the others escorted the German prisoners towards the assembly point, and suddenly saw a German tank roaring towards them, and quickly shouted: "Tank, lie down!" After shouting, He was the first to fall on the snow.

When those dejected German prisoners saw a German tank approaching, the surrounding Soviet commanders and fighters who escorted them all lay down on the snow. They immediately thought wishfully that it was their own tank that was coming, so they cheered desperately on the spot, hoping that the other party would come to rescue them as soon as possible. A few daring captives even set their sights on the weapons in the hands of the escorting soldiers, preparing to snatch the weapons by hand to cooperate with the actions of their own tanks.

However, before these brave prisoners took any action, the cheers of the rest of the prisoners stopped abruptly, because they saw that after the tank stopped at a distance of 20 to 30 meters, the hatch of the turret was opened. A Soviet soldier emerged.

The one who came out was none other than Lin Hua who was driving the tank. He heard someone shouting from behind the deafening roar of the tank engine. He thought he was going to hit the crowd behind him, so he braked urgently and opened the door on the top of the turret. Hatch cover, leaning out to look outside. The first thing that caught his eyes was a group of German soldiers, and the surrounding snow was full of Soviet commanders and fighters. He couldn't help thinking strangely: "Damn, what is going on, where did these Germans come from?" here?"

Seeing the Soviet soldiers coming out of the tank, not only the cheering German soldiers saw it, but also Vanya, who was lying on the ground, could clearly see that the person who was half of his body protruding from the turret was actually his company commander. After a moment's absence, he raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead, and said angrily: "How did I forget that the company commander can drive a tank?" He quickly got up from the ground and shouted at the soldiers lying around. Said, "Comrades, get up, you are one of us, our company commander."
