Burning Moscow

: Section 66 Reconnaissance behind enemy lines (3)

   Sergeant Zelia led the troops and left along the way we came. In order to enrich the combat effectiveness of this unit, I also arranged for three other soldiers to accompany him. When the team passed by me, I discovered that there were still quite a few wounded inside, some with bandages on their heads or arms, and some with a branch as a cane. I couldn't help but feel guilty in my heart, and wondered if my attitude towards them was a bit too much.

   "Comrade Commander, I know you." When a soldier passed by me, he suddenly stopped and said abruptly at me.

   "Really? Comrade Warrior." I said casually. Guilt is guilt, but I still remember their wretched performance just now, so my attitude is still extraordinarily indifferent.

   "In the Porokino area not long ago, you came to our regiment and personally led us to counterattack the Germans. You have hit the war memorial on the high ground."

   "There has been such a thing."

   "I had a face-to-face with you at the time, do you remember me?" He said happily.

Hearing what he said, I couldn’t help looking at him curiously, but unfortunately, in my impression, I seemed to have never seen the soldier in front of me, so I shrugged, shook my head and said, “I’m sorry. I don’t seem to have seen you before."

"Oh, comrade commander," he said aggrieved: "On the high ground, after the Fourth Tank Brigade joined our division, their commanders were looking for you everywhere, or I went to report to you. Don't you remember? "

I remembered! Hearing what he said, I totally remembered it! Just after conquering the high ground, I was standing under the war memorial and was talking to Pavlov who was bringing a few captured French soldiers over. The soldier ran over and reported to me that the Fourth Tank Brigade had reached At the heights, their commanders are looking for me everywhere.

   "Well, I remember." I nodded and said with concern: "What happened to your regiment, how did you get captured?"

"On the second day of your departure, the German infantry under the cover of tanks, artillery and planes attacked our position in turn. The soldiers acted extremely tenaciously and repelled the Germans more than a dozen assaults. He paid a painful price in front of the position. After a day of fighting, the left and right positions were broken by the Germans one after another, and our regiment was surrounded by the Germans. That night, the regimental commander personally led us to break through. The Germans’ firepower was very fierce and they took the lead in the charge. As soon as he left the high ground, he fell under the enemy’s gunpoint and sacrificed heroically. The remaining commanders led us to rush forward, but unfortunately they still failed. The troops were broken up, and most of the soldiers Sacrificed, and the rest was captured by the Germans."

   "Then in this unit, are there any people in your regiment?"

"Nothing." He shook his head and continued: "They were taken to a prisoner-of-war camp behind the enemy, and because I was assigned to a temporary engineering team, I was responsible for digging up graves for them to bury the bodies of the dead soldiers on both sides, or The construction of fortifications delayed until today before sending me and these captured soldiers to the prisoner-of-war camp."

   "How is Pavlov?"

   "I don't know, maybe it was sacrificed."

   "So that's it!..." At this point, I felt a little bit helpless.

   "Comrade Commander!" The soldier said to me with a resolute attitude, "Can I stay and fight you all?"

   "Why?"

   "I want to avenge the dead comrades! How many comrades I have buried myself, I will definitely send the same number of German fascist bandits to the grave in the future."

   I stared at him for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, then you can stay. By the way, what's your name?"

   "Sergeant Sapochuk, from Moscow."

   We walked more than 500 meters south in the forest, and I ordered the team to stop and rest for a while until we couldn't see the forest road just now with the telescope. It turned out that the rugged forest is not easy to walk, plus there is thick snow, so after the rapid march just now, I felt that my underwear was wet with sweat, wet and cold, and stopped by the cold wind. As soon as I blow, I feel cold.

The    team now includes me, only ten people are left. At the forefront of the team is Sergeant Aji. The two fighters with him are the Saskar Superior and Leon Jeff's Superior; beside me is the newly joined Sergeant Sapochuk, the sniper Aguminte, and the reporter. Corporal Orlov; this time behind the team were Sergeant Lukin, Corporal Resdayev and Corporal Sgoria, all three of whom were equipped with submachine guns.

   I walked to Aji's side. He is currently the person I know and trust the most in the squad, so he has always been the task of leading soldiers. At this moment, he was squatting in the bushes between the two birch trees, watching the front warily. I put a hand on his shoulder and asked softly, "Is there anything wrong?"

   Aji turned his head and said, "No, all around is quiet, there is no movement. It seems that our ambush just now hasn't disturbed the Germans yet."

   "Which way shall we go later?"

Aji took out a compass to measure the direction, then used a finger to move forward to the right and said, "You should go in that direction. If you walk for about two hours, you should be able to see a small village. If the village is not there yet. If we are occupied by the Germans, we can choose to stay there tonight."

   I took my submachine gun and returned to Sergeant Sapochuk and Corporal Telegraph Orlov. The radio operator asked me softly: "Comrade Commander, do I need to contact the group army command now?"

   I waved my hand and said, "I don't need it for the time being. I'll talk about it after camping at night." Then I faced Sapochuk and asked him, "Do you know where Jasnaya Polyana is?"

"Ah?!" Sapochuk listened to me, stared at me in surprise, and said: "No way, Comrade Commander. Don't you know the famous Russian writer Lev Tolstoy? Is your manor there?!"

"I know, I know!" I hurriedly concealed my ignorance, "Of course I know this, I'm just testing you." I quickly turned my gaze to Agument and asked, "Is your sniper rifle heavy? ?"

   "It's not heavy." Aguminte said, raising the weapon in his hand, and after several times, he continued: "It's the same as a normal rifle, except that it has an extra scope."

   I walked in front of the three submachine gunners again, and chatted briefly with each of them.

   After a round of inspections, UU read www.uukanshu.com, I felt a lot more at ease, and I returned to my position. I asked the operator: "What time is it?"

   He rolled up his sleeves, looked at the watch on his wrist, and replied, "It's 11:07. We have been resting here for five minutes."

   I looked around, the dense fog had already dispersed, and I waved forward and said, "Go!" Following my order, the squad continued to move forward.

   After another hour of arduous walking in the snow, Aji’s voice suddenly came from ahead: "There is a situation!"

   "Stop!" I hurriedly issued an order to the team: "Stay hidden and stand by." Then I carried the submachine gun and ran to Aji's side, and asked softly, "What did I find this time?"

   "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, look," he pointed to the front and said to me, "Thirty meters ahead, that's a temporary road just built."

   "Is there anything on the road?" I saw that the highway was empty, with no cars or people. But I believe that Aggie found out what happened before alerting us, so I specifically asked.

   "The enemy's troops are coming in this direction. This time they are not infantry but mechanized troops." As if to verify what he said, the roar of motors came from the highway. The enemy came, and this thought just came to my mind, and my body was already lying on the snow instinctively.

In a short while, I saw German tanks, armored vehicles, cannon-pulling tractors, and trucks full of soldiers, one after another, on this rugged and simple forest road. Driving forward.
