Chapter 250

Due to the arrival of the field journalists, I was going to have Lin and Vlasov invited down to the bell tower. Unexpectedly, they came down first.

Vlasov heard his voice before he saw him. Before he entered the headquarters, his voice came in: "Rita, did the reserve team attack?"

I didn't answer immediately, but when I saw him enter the headquarters, I replied loudly, "Comrade commander, the order to attack has been given, and the reserve team should have started to act by this time." Then he pointed to the reporter sitting at the table drinking tea and introduced to Vlasov, "this is a reporter from Moscow..."

Before I finished, the reporter who had been sitting stood up and exclaimed excitedly, "Comrade Vlasov, is that you?" Then he came forward with a quick step.

When Vlasov heard this, he was stunned. When he saw who was coming, he laughed and welcomed him. When they were holding each other, I heard Vlasov say in a loud voice, "it's you, comrade ellenburg. Welcome to our group army. "

Seeing Vlasov's enthusiasm for this reporter made me have a strong interest in this reporter who had never heard of his name. I asked one of the staff around me quietly, "is this reporter very famous?"

After hearing my question, the staff officer gave me a look at the alien, and then answered in a panic: "Comrade chief of staff, don't you know him? He is a famous journalist, writer and international peace fighter

I can understand the two identities of a famous journalist or writer, but where does the title of international peace fighter come from? I wanted to ask again, but I didn't want to show my ignorance in front of the Ministry, so I pretended to be enlightened and said, "Oh, it's him. I've heard his name for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to see a real person. This time, I finally got a wish. Well, there's nothing for you here. Go and do your work

Lin always didn't know when he came to me. When no one noticed, he asked me quietly: "who is this? Why is Comrade commander so enthusiastic about him? "

I shrugged and replied in Chinese in a low voice, "I don't know the exact identity. But he is said to be a famous journalist and writer. " As for the identity of the international peace fighter, I didn't know what was going on, so I didn't tell president Lin.

When they were separated, Vlasov came to us with ellenburg's hand in his hand and said excitedly, "deputy commander Lin, Rita, let me explain to you. This is a famous journalist of our country, comrade ellenburg. During the Spanish Civil War in 1936, he once served as a special correspondent of the news in the Spanish front. While conducting interviews in war-torn places, he showed the Spanish people the Soviet revolutionary films "chaboyang" and "we are from cranstadt" to inspire their fighting spirit. At that time, he successively published several feature books such as "my rations", "my Paris" and "Spain", which timely revealed the rampant reactionary forces in European countries and the truth of the Spanish incident, and played a certain role in mobilizing people all over the world to support the just cause of the Spanish people. During this period, he often dealt with Spanish anarchists and made joint efforts for the anti Communist Spanish domestic forces. Exposing the crimes of Germany and Italy in time has played a certain role in mobilizing people all over the world to support the just cause of the Spanish people. "

I didn't expect that the old reporter standing in front of me had such extraordinary experience. I immediately looked at him with new eyes and a friendly smile on his face.

Vlasov continued to introduce ellenburg's resume to us: "in 1935 and 1937, he represented Soviet writers and journalists to the International Conference for the defense of culture twice. Together with Picasso, barbice and many other cultural celebrities in the world, he angrily denounced the Communist Party of China and its war plot, and called for the protection of Europe and human progressive culture. In 1939, he was arrested by the French gendarmerie in Paris on suspicion of having links with the German Hitler authorities. After a while, Mr. Lin shook hands with him and said hello. For the greetings from the Chinese comrades, ellenburg just gave a polite smile and a light greeting.

Vlasov solemnly introduced me to him: "this is Comrade oshanina, chief of staff, and the first female general of our army. The famous Soviet hero, commander krochkov, is in her division. "

As soon as ellenburg's eyes brightened, he came forward and took my hand with both hands. He shook it hard and said, "it's you, comrade o'shanina. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you just now. When I interviewed the 316 infantry division, which is now the eighth division of the guards, I heard the commanders and fighters mention you many times, saying that you are a great heroine. "

I gave a polite smile and said, "you flatter me. I should like to thank you for letting everyone know the heroic deeds of instructor krochkov and the famous saying "although Russia is big, we have no way back, because Moscow is behind us". I'm sure that if instructor krochkov and the 30 soldiers who died were aware of it, I would appreciate it. "

Ellenburg suddenly let go of my hand, put away the smile on his face, and said to me in a serious tone, "Comrade o'shanina, I need to remind you that there are not thirty soldiers, but twenty-eight."

The reason why I say 30 instead of the 28 people recorded in the book is that I once learned about the situation from the commanders and fighters who stood behind their line of defense in krochkov, and knew that there were 31 people in the position, including the instructors. So I reminded him, "Comrade reporter, as far as I know afterwards, there were 31 people in the position, including commander krochkov."“ Don't you know? " Ellenburg's face even showed an angry expression: "among the 30 soldiers, there are two shameful traitors. They actually put down their arms and surrendered to the bandits." His words calmed me down, because I knew that all the people in the position had died, so when I asked the commanders and fighters about the situation, I only asked how many people were in the position of krochkov, but did not ask any other questions. I did not expect that there would be traitors in this heroic team, and I was speechless“ Come on, don't stand and talk. Let's all sit down and have tea. " Vlasov found my embarrassment and quickly asked everyone to sit down. He solved the embarrassment crisis in the house. Seeing that everyone was silent, Vlasov finally took the lead and said, "Comrade ellenburg, I don't know if there is any news in the newspaper recently?" Ellenburg could not help but feel a little stunned and asked, "can't you see the newspaper here?" Vlasov shook his head and said, "we are busy fighting every day. The troops are moving at any time. Even if there are newspapers, they can't be delivered to us in time." Ellenburg took a folded newspaper out of his coat pocket, spread it out on the table, pushed it over to Vlasov, and said, "I only have this December 13th newspaper with me. You can read it first." I looked over and saw that it was a Pravda. The Soviet news agency announced that the German attempt to encircle Moscow had completely failed, and published on the front page photos of red army generals who had made great achievements in the battle of neutrality in Moscow, including the photo of Vlasov. He was honored to be juxtaposed with the photos of Zhukov, lelushenko, Kuznetsov, rokosovsky, govorov, baoerjin, Golikov and belov, the outstanding Soviet generals, and became a hero in the defense of Moscow in people's minds.
