Red Moscow

The girl looked at Lin Hua and said emotionally: "Comrades, I'm looking forward to you coming."

"Who is your comrade?" Seryozha, who was standing beside Lin Hua, pointed at the German officers who raised their hands, and said viciously, "Only these damned Communists are your comrades." Comrade."

Lin Hua looked at her words and saw that the girl was not panicked when she saw the German guard being captured by the soldiers. On the contrary, there was a joyful expression on her face. He quickly raised his hand to stop Seryozha, looked at this young and beautiful girl, and repeated the question just now: "Who the hell are you and why are you here?"

The girl took off her headscarf, revealing her thick chestnut hair, and said with a serious expression: "My name is Adelina, and I was a student of the Volokramsk Academy of Literature before the war, because I can speak French and French fluently. German, so the relevant leaders in the city let me stay in the German-occupied area to work underground after inspecting me.”

"Ah, is that so?" Seryozha couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this, and he quickly changed his tone and said: "Girl, please forgive my rudeness just now, I thought... thought ..." In a hurry, he couldn't find the right words to describe Adelina.

"Are you trying to say that I'm the kind of slut who betrays me?" Unexpectedly, Agelina said generously: "Since I served as a translator for Germans, people who know me think so Mine. The comrades imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war camp looked at me with hatred, thinking that I was a soft bone, and in order to survive, I actually betrayed the motherland and betrayed myself to the enemy." As she spoke, the circles of her eyes couldn't help but turn red, He hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his face.

"Comrade Adelina, you have been wronged." Lin Hua stepped forward and hugged the young girl full of grievances who had lived among the enemies for several months, patted her on the back lightly, and said understandingly : "I know, because of your special status, in order to complete the task well, you have to endure the misunderstandings of your comrades silently, and you can't even tell them who you are, what kind of work you are doing, and why you have to work with the enemy , not even hinting at them."

Hearing what Lin Hua said, Ajielina's tears fell like broken beads, and soon soaked the clothes on Lin Hua's shoulders. She cried and said, "Comrade commander, I have already Tired of all this. You don't know how disgusting it is to live among the Japanese invaders. You have to pretend to be happy every day, and force a smile with these guys who deserve to go to hell..."

"It's all over, Agelina, it's all over." Lin Hua continued to comfort him, "From now on, you're back among your relatives again."

Agelina broke free from Lin Hua's arms, wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, combed her hair, tried to squeeze a smile on her face, and said to Lin Hua: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, please forgive me." , My feelings are too fragile...I can't help it, I saw our Red Army soldiers appearing in front of me at once, arresting all these Japanese invaders, I was so excited."

"Misha," Seryozha said from the side, "let's go and see the soldiers imprisoned here."

Sergey Sha's words reminded Lin Hua that he remembered that he was so busy chatting with Adelina that he actually forgot about the commanders and fighters who were imprisoned here. So surrounded by everyone, he headed towards the place where the soldiers were held.

The Soviet prisoners of war who were imprisoned here could not forget this scene many years later: first, about a company of German soldiers, led by several German officers, swaggered into the prisoner-of-war camp; They overran the watchtowers around the camp, and then disarmed all the guards who came out of the houses. What happened in front of them made them dumbfounded.

At this time, surrounded by a group of German soldiers, a second lieutenant of the German army came to them and announced in his familiar language: "Comrades, you have suffered. I am Lieutenant Sokov, the commander of the Istria company. I was ordered to rescue you, and you are free!"

After Lin Hua finished speaking, the entire venue was silent. The prisoners of war stood up slowly, looked at the people in German uniforms around them with dull eyes, and thought to themselves: "Could this be a conspiracy by the Germans?" ?"

"Comrades, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that the prisoners did not respond to Lin Hua's words, Seryozha raised his voice and said, "Didn't you hear what the lieutenant said? You were liberated, you are all free .”

"Is what you said true?" A voice finally came from among the prisoners this time: "Are you really the Red Army?"

In order to reassure the prisoners of war, Lin Hua turned to Seryozha and said, "Give me your boat cap?"

"What do you want a boat-shaped hat for?" Seryozha asked puzzledly when he heard Lin Hua say this.

"Don't talk nonsense," Lin Hua urged him instead of explaining to him, "Hurry up!"

Seryosha muttered in a low voice, untied his military overcoat, took out a boat-shaped cap from his arms, and handed it to Lin Hua. After Lin Hua took the hat, he took off the German army hat with a large brim and put it under his armpit, then put the boat-shaped hat on his head, and said to the prisoners in front of him, "Do you believe it now?"

When the prisoners saw the boat-shaped cap on Lin Hua's head, they finally reacted: "That's right, they are our own people." "Thank God, we are saved."...

I don't know who took the lead, the prisoners of war and their comrades in German uniforms began to embrace, and some people kept shouting "Ulla". Standing behind Adelina, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears left by the excitement, and looked at the exciting scene in front of her with a smile.

After Lin Hua asked Vanya to arrange the rescued prisoners of war, he squeezed out from the crowd with great difficulty, came to Adelina, and asked in surprise, "Adelina, I heard that there are two prisoners in this camp. There are more than a thousand prisoners of war, why does it look like there are not even a thousand of them, where are the rest of them going?"

"Lieutenant Sokov," Adelina suppressed the smile on her face, and said to Lin Hua, "Please come with me, and I will show you something."

Lin Hua followed Agelina to a corner of the prisoner-of-war camp. Adelina pointed to the distant forest with her hand and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, look over there."

Lin Hua looked in the direction of Agelina's finger and saw piles of wood-like things piled up on the edge of the forest. His first reaction was the wood the Germans were planning to use for heating. But after thinking about it, he felt that if it was just a pile of wood, Adelina would not have brought him here on purpose. He tentatively asked: "Adelina, what is that? wood?"

Adelina's handsome face became extremely serious: "Comrade Lieutenant, how is this possible? They are all the corpses of our comrades. Due to the poor environment of the prisoner-of-war camp, countless prisoners of war died every day, and the Germans killed them dragged out the dead body, hid in the edge of the forest, and prepared to send prisoners of war to bury it after the weather warmed up."

Lin Hua led more than a dozen soldiers and followed Agelina to the place where the bodies of prisoners of war were piled up. The remains of countless Soviet prisoners of war, dressed in thin and tattered military uniforms, died in various postures, and then the Germans stacked them in piles on the edge of the forest like logs.

Seeing the piles of corpses, Lin Hua only felt the blood rushing to his head, and his body trembled with anger. He put his finger on the trigger, wishing he could rush back to the prisoner-of-war camp immediately, and take the captured German guards, All dragged here to be shot.

Seryozha, who came out with him, obviously sensed his emotional fluctuations, so he walked up to him and asked softly, "Misha, shall we go back to the prisoner-of-war camp now and kill all the guards?"

Lin Hua turned his head to look at Seryozha, and almost blurted out the order to kill all the German prisoners. But in the end he calmed down, and hastily changed his words: "No, Seryozha, we are not executioners, even if we are enemies, as long as they lay down their weapons, we cannot massacre them."
