Red Moscow

"Quiet, commanders and comrades, please keep quiet!" As soon as Sokov said, the room returned to calm again, and everyone looked at him, quietly waiting for him to give a combat order.

Sokov glanced over the commanders in the room one by one, and then began to issue orders: "This time, the task of capturing the German warehouse will be completed by the first company, the third company and the first machine gun company, and the second company will stay in the prisoner-of-war camp. "

"Comrade battalion commander," Andrei heard that Sukov asked him to lead the team to stay, and he didn't care about the meeting, he quickly raised his voice and said: "Our company's combat effectiveness is one of the best in the battalion. How about staying as a garrison?" The other company commanders were not happy about what Andre said, they stood up one after another, opened their mouths to fight back against Andre, and the room suddenly became chaotic like a vegetable market.

Sokov slammed the table and said sharply: "Shut up!" After the room regained calm, he continued, "You must remember your identities, you are company commanders, not tavern commanders. The drunks are making noise here, what's the point? Sit down for me!" The commanders who were criticized did not dare to refute, and sat down with blushing faces.

Seeing that the commanders were silent, Sokov continued to assign tasks: "There are only five covered trucks in the prisoner-of-war camp. It is obviously unrealistic for everyone to go to the German warehouse by car. Therefore, a company We will draw a platoon from the machine gun company to ride in the car, and the rest of the troops and the third company will follow by sledge."

When the company commanders got up and walked out one after another, Sokov said to Adelina: "Adelina, you are the only one who knows the way to the warehouse. Please guide us, okay?"

"No problem," Agelina nodded, and said briskly, "I'll go clean up and set off with you."

The prisoner-of-war camp is more than 20 kilometers away from the warehouse. Most of the roads are covered with snow. For safety reasons, the trucks drive very slowly. Sokov and Adelina were sitting in the cab of the first truck. In order to pass the boring time, he casually asked Adelina who was sitting between himself and the driver: "Adelina, where should we go this time?" The warehouse may be in danger, are you afraid?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of," Adelina said with a wry smile. "Compared with living among the enemy, I would rather attack the enemy's transportation lines every day, plant landmines, and burn down their warehouses, like other comrades who stayed behind the enemy lines." Same, holding a weapon and fighting the enemy face to face.

Comrade battalion commander, do you know? In order to obtain those important information, I had to participate in various interrogations by the Germans, watched them torture our people, and translated what they said; at the same time, I had to endure the malicious insults from my own people because of misunderstandings... ...If you hadn't liberated the prisoner-of-war camp in time, I don't think my nerves can hold on any longer..." Adelina threw herself into Sokov's arms sideways, and burst into tears.

The driver was selected from among the rescued commanders and fighters. Because he didn't know the truth, he always hated Adelina, who was interpreting for the Germans. Seeing that Adelina actually got into the car he was driving, he felt even more irritated. If he hadn't seen the battalion commander, Captain Sokov, also in the car, he would definitely have hit the big tree on the side of the road without hesitation. , Let's talk about killing this woman. But after listening to Adelina's narration, he immediately realized that he had wronged the other party. The reason why this young girl became a translator for the Germans was to follow the orders of her superiors and lurk among the enemies to carry out her special mission. .

Sokov put his arms around Adelina's shoulders, patted her on the back with his hands, and comforted her: "Adelina, don't worry, it's over, the worst days are over. You're back now By the side of your loved ones, in the days to come, you can live in the way you like."

When the convoy arrived at the entrance of the German supply warehouse, it was stopped by a German second lieutenant wearing a large-brimmed hat. He walked to the car with a submachine gun and said to Sokov, who was wearing a lieutenant uniform, through the car window: "Mr. , please show your ID!"

Adelina pinched Sokov's arm lightly according to the pre-arranged signal, indicating that he should show his ID. Sokov, who understood, quickly took out the pass from his pocket and handed it to the German second lieutenant outside the car.

The second lieutenant of the German army glanced at the documents in his hand, and found that there was only a pass, but no military officer's card. He quickly reminded Sokov: "Mr. Lieutenant, where is your military officer's card?"

How could Sokov understand what he was asking, and when he was worrying, Adelina interrupted in time and asked, "Mr. Second Lieutenant, do you remember me?"

Although Adelina only came to the warehouse once, her beauty, wonderful singing voice and skillful piano performance left a deep impression on the officers and soldiers here. The second lieutenant of the German army quickly smiled and said, "Look at what you said, Adelina, how can I not remember you? Why are you free to come to the warehouse today?"

"A new batch of prisoners of war has been sent to the city of Volokramsk," Adelina said to the German second lieutenant with a smile: "We don't have enough supplies there, so we can only make a special trip. By the way, Mr. Major is here His office?"

"Yes, yes, you should go directly to his office and you should be able to find him." After chatting with Adelina for a few words, the second lieutenant didn't insist on asking for Sokov's military ID card, and just flipped through it casually The pass was returned to him, and he waved and said, "Go!" Then he turned around and asked his men to raise the crossbar to let the trucks from the prisoner-of-war camp enter.

Seeing the second lieutenant of the German army reassuring the convoy, Agelina couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. She turned her head and nodded to the driver, indicating that the car could be driven in.

As the truck drove forward along the bumpy and muddy road, Adelina whispered to Sokov: "Comrade Battalion Commander, there are two entrances, east and west, in the warehouse area. We entered the west entrance; The wooden house was where the Germans stored supplies, and there were patrol soldiers with dogs on their hands, patrolling 24 hours a day to prevent guerrillas from cutting the barbed wire and sneaking in.”

After waiting for Adelina to finish speaking, Sokov asked back: "Do you know where the defenders live?"

"In the north of the warehouse area, there are several wooden houses. Off-duty German soldiers live there." After answering Sukov's question, Adelina took the initiative to say: " The person in charge of managing the warehouse is a major, and we can drive more than two hundred meters along this road to reach the outside of his office."

Seeing that Adelina knew so much about the situation in the warehouse, Sokov couldn't help asking curiously: "Adelina, I want to ask, how do you know so much about the situation of the Germans?"

"Comrade Battalion Commander," Adelina looked at Sokov with a sweet smile, and said, "My task is to collect intelligence about the enemy and provide it to our comrades so that they can strike the enemy hard."
