Chapter 90

I let go of Mr. Lin's hand, stepped back, looked at Vlasov and krochkov, and pretended to be surprised and asked, "eh! What are you all watching me do? "

"I heard you said hello to Mr. Lin in Chinese just now." "I didn't expect you to know Chinese," Vlasov said, somewhat surprised

After hearing what Vlasov said, I cried in my heart: no! Bad things. Krochkov is a member of the people's Committee of the interior. If I can't give a reasonable explanation for this matter, he is bound to doubt me. In that case, my future situation will be very bad.

I coughed and said with a smile, "where can I speak Chinese?" Then he pointed to Shi Zhe standing beside him: "I just remember a few Chinese words used by this translator when he introduced you just now, and then string them together and say them out." After listening to my explanation, except for Mr. Lin, who didn't understand Russian, his face was at a loss, the other three people were all dubious. So I asked Shi Zhe on purpose, "Comrade translator, is my pronunciation standard just now?"

"What you said just now is very standard. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would think it was the Chinese speaking." Shi Zhe finished, then turned to quietly translate my words to Mr. Lin.

"Sit down, everyone, please After listening to the content translated by Shi Zhe, Mr. Lin nodded. He suddenly realized it. Then he asked everyone to sit down.

Krochkov didn't sit down. He said that his mission was to send me and general Vlasov here. Now that his mission has been completed, it's time to go back. Hearing what he said, Mr. Lin couldn't keep him. He sent him to the door.

The departure of krochkov gave me a sigh of relief. It was very dangerous just now. If I hadn't been quick witted and perfunctory, I would have gone to the interior department for coffee again tonight. It seems that I have to control my mood well in the future, even if I am excited, I have to keep absolutely calm, otherwise I will lose my life and I don't know what happened.

After the attendant brought us a few cups of tea, Mr. Lin and Vlasov had a chat. Before today, I didn't know who general Vlasov was. Even now, I know little about him. However, it seems that Mr. Lin knows him very well. I just want to know what this general Vlasov really has through their conversation.

"Comrade General, I heard that you have been to China?" Mr. Lin's words surprised me. I didn't expect that the general around me had been to China, but I never seem to have seen his name in history books.

"Yes, Mr. Lin. I came to Wuhan in 1938, your 27th year of the Republic of China, to help your Chairman Jiang train his army to resist the Japanese attack. "

"When did you return to the Soviet Union?"

"I came back in November 1939. At that time, the war between our country and the Finnish white bandit army was imminent, and the army needed a lot of commanding personnel, so I was transferred back from China. Shortly after returning home, I was appointed division commander of the 99th Infantry Division under the Kiev military region. In September of the next year, marshal Timoshenko went to Kiev to inspect the troops and spoke highly of our division. Soon after, I was awarded the rank of major general and transferred to the fourth mechanized army as commander. "

"It's said that in the defense of Kiev, your troops were very brave and tenacious, resolutely blocking the German attack."

"Yes, you are right." Without modesty, Vlasov naturally accepted Mr. Lin's praise: "at that time, I took the remnants of the fighting troops and withdrew from the region of przemeiser on the border of Ukraine. General kirponos, commander of the front army, and Comrade Khrushchev, then member of the front Military Commission, appointed me commander of the newly formed 37th army. I took in the soldiers who had retreated from the front line, added them to the various units of the 37th army, and quickly organized the defense. In early August, the 29th German army launched its first attack on Kiev. Under the resistance of our organization, their attack failed. In the middle of August, the German offensive in the southwest of Kiev was repulsed by our group army again, and we tenaciously held the front line of Kiev. If there is a gap between Kuznetsov's 21st group army and podras's 40th group army on the flank, as well as the failure of the buliansk front army's counter attack on the German army, Guderian and Kleist's armored cluster will not be able to drive straight in, and Kiev will not fall so easily. " I heard everything Vlasov said for the first time, so I enjoyed it.

Vlasov finished his story and asked Mr. Lin, "general Lin, do you think the German army will occupy Moscow?"

"Occupy Moscow?" When Mr. Lin heard his question, he waved his hand and said, "it's impossible."

"Why?" Although this is what Vlasov asked, it is also what I want to ask. I come from later generations and know that Moscow will never fall. But division chief Lin is not a passer-by. How can he be so sure that the Soviet army will be able to defend Moscow? You know, the Soviet Army outside the city is retreating, and the German army is approaching Moscow.

"Don't look at the German offensive, but it's not so easy for them to win Moscow." With a smile, master Lin continued, "besides, there is a natural ally who will help you."

"Natural allies? Who is it, Brit or American? " Asked Vlasov, puzzled. Listening to what Mr. Lin said, I have guessed that the "ally" he said is neither Britain nor the United States, but Russia's cold climate. Not surprisingly, division commander Lin explained to Vlasov: "the German army originally planned to win the Soviet Union in two months, so they were not prepared for winter combat at all. Although the German army has been under Moscow, but with their ability in the short term can not achieve the strategic goal. Therefore, with the arrival of winter, the German army, which lacks winter combat equipment and even winter clothing, will surely pay a heavy price in the face of cold, Russia's natural ally. " When Mr. Lin said this, Vlasov patted the table and said excitedly, "you are absolutely right! As long as the cold comes, the unprepared German army will suffer. Their artillery will be frozen in the soil, the engine of the tank will not start, and the soldiers will be frozen to death. In that case, they will have to turn to defense and wait for spring to come. "“ Not bad. " Lin added: "however, with Comrade Stalin's character, they will never be allowed to wait quietly for the arrival of spring in the defensive positions. He will surely transfer well-equipped and highly effective infantry divisions from Siberia to Moscow City in an endless stream, consume the living strength of the German army little by little, and launch a counterattack at the right time to defeat the German army thoroughly! " After listening to Mr. Lin's analysis, I can't help but raise my thumb under the table. I'm really a famous general! The analysis is so accurate. As far as I know, Hitler had been planning to end the war before winter, so instead of urging the relevant departments to increase the production of cotton padded clothes, he delayed the delivery of cotton padded clothes to the front. Now the winter in Russia has been more than a month, and many German soldiers are still wearing summer combat clothes. So many German soldiers had to take off their short fur coats from the dead Soviet soldiers to keep warm“ General Lin, your military ability is also highly appreciated by Comrade Stalin. He sent me here today to convey a word to you. "“ What are you talking about? Just say it. "“ Please stay and take part in our patriotic war. Comrade Stalin said that if you are willing to stay, you can first serve as deputy commander and chief of staff in my 20th army. When you are familiar with the troops, you will be sent to the Western army headquarters to serve as deputy to Comrade Zhukov. " After listening to this, Mr. Lin was silent. He just tapped the map on the table with his fingers. Seeing his expression, Vlasov added, "Comrade Stalin also said that if you are willing to stay, he is willing to provide the Chinese comrades in Yan'an with weapons and equipment of two divisions." The most popular legend in later generations is that Stalin, in order to retain Mr. Lin, was willing to exchange ten divisions for him, which I always believed to be true. Now I understand that it's not ten divisions, it's just two divisions' weaponry. Mr. Lin raised his head and gave Vlasov a blank look. Then he looked down at the map in front of him and continued to tap the table with his fingers.
