Chapter 345

I was walking back and forth outside the headquarters when I heard my name called. Looking around, a second lieutenant in a helmet and submachine gun stood in front of me.

Seeing me looking back, he said with a smile: "Hello! Major oshanina. I didn't expect to see you here. " Between speaking, the tone is very respectful.

I looked at the second lieutenant in front of me for a few minutes, and immediately remembered that the day I went to the 2nd assault group army headquarters to report, it was Vlasov that he took me to see, but I didn't know his name. I said with a smile, "it's you, comrade lieutenant. We've met again."

"Are you here to see Comrade commander?" Asked the second lieutenant.

I nodded and answered positively, "yes, lieutenant. I wanted to see the commander just now, but the soldier at the door stopped me and said that the commander wanted to see important guests, so he didn't see anyone for the time being. "

The second lieutenant was a little surprised and said, "the commander has important guests. Why don't I know?"

I nodded at the car parked at the door and said, "that's the visitor's car. He's talking with the commander in it."

The second lieutenant said, "I really don't know. I just went to patrol the village. Now I'll ask the sentry at the gate." With that, he ran to the two sentinels and began to talk to each other in a low voice.

After a while, he came back to me and said awkwardly, "listen to the sentry, comrade commander is negotiating with the representative sent by the German." Speaking of this, he looked around and said in a low voice, "Comrade major, this is not a place to talk. Let's talk about it in another place."

I nodded in agreement, and then followed him to an empty house nearby.

As soon as I entered the room, he asked me to sit down at the table in the middle of the room. Then he picked up a wooden basin in the corner and went out. He came in with half a basin of steaming water and carefully placed it on the table. He handed me a towel he had put on his shoulder and said, "Comrade major, wash your face."

There was a broken mirror on the wall not far away. From a distance, I could see that my face was black and smoky, and my left cheek was bruised. The damned Layi was so cruel that he almost destroyed my face.

Wet towel a Wu in the face, suddenly felt a burst of hot pain, pain I can not help but take a breath of air conditioning. The second lieutenant next to him immediately asked with concern, "Comrade major, how did you get the injury on your face?"

"I was wounded when I was fighting with the enemy," I replied without taking off the towel on my face.

"It's amazing that you should fight with the enemy in a white-edged battle." Listening to his tone, he seemed to admire me. Perhaps in his mind, fighting with the enemy is another way of saying "white-edged war".

The pain on my face slightly weakened, so I took the time to wipe the whole face again, and then threw the towel back into the basin. I looked at the second lieutenant standing in front of me and asked, "Comrade second lieutenant, I don't know what to call you. I can't always call you Comrade second lieutenant."

The second lieutenant was a little shy and blushed a little before he replied, "you can call me gusip, comrade major."

"Gusipu, you call me Rita. That's what general frasov usually calls me."

"I see, comrade major. I'll call you Rita later."

"By the way, gusipu, do you know what commander Vlasov and the Germans met to talk about?" I always think of the German officer who walked into the headquarters.

Gusip put the wooden basin on the floor and sat opposite me. He took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and handed it to him. "Have a cigarette, Rita," he said

I waved my hand and said, "I won't."

He lit a cigarette, took a hard breath, and said: "a few days ago, after the German army closed the channel which was finally opened, the headquarters of the group army issued an order to disperse the troops still trapped in the encirclement. The leaders of the headquarters were also divided into three groups, each with a firepower company composed entirely of stormtroopers. The first group was led by the deputy commander, general alfiliev, and the reconnaissance director, Colonel Rogoff; The second group was led by general afanasiyev, military commissar and communications director of the group army, and Colonel vinogoladov, chief of staff; The third group is under the command of commander General Vlasov and commander of operations Colonel brenning. According to the original plan, our group will arrive at the station of the 46th infantry division within the specified time and break through with the troops of the division. It was discovered on the way that none of the staff in the headquarters knew where the commander of the 46th Infantry Division was. We have to feel our way. As we approached the POLISI River, we were heavily bombarded by enemy artillery and mortars. Some people fell down, some people wanted to get rid of the enemy's fire, so they scattered and fled. "

"And then you came back to this village?" I asked tentatively.

"Yes, after we retreated to the village, many scattered small troops also retreated. Now there are about 400 people in the village. If we regroup so many people, we will be able to go back to the river POLISI and jump out of the German encirclement. But... "At this point, gusip stopped.

"But what? Go on, gusip In the middle of the speech, he stopped and made me confused, so I urged him to continue. He hesitated for a moment, then continued: "when Colonel brenning called the village commanders to a meeting, Vlasov did not attend at all. He was indifferent to our next action. Although there are simple fortifications and guard posts all around the village, I don't think we can stop the German attack. "“ Those fortifications are really simple, "I thought of the so-called fortifications I saw when I entered the village, and I couldn't help complaining." let alone the German artillery, which is the stray bullet of infantry attack, is enough to wipe out all the soldiers in our fortifications. "“ Rita, you don't know something. All the troops in the village were exhausted because of the constant fighting and lack of food. Some soldiers even fainted because of hunger while on duty. According to yesterday's reconnaissance, the Germans have occupied three directions, East, West and south, and completely cut off the passage for us to break through. "“ What about the north? There are no Germans over there. Why don't you break through there? "“ Colonel brenning sent for a reconnaissance. To the north, there was an insurmountable swamp, which could not be passed at all. Even if we break through, we will pay a heavy price. And no one knows what's going on on the other side of the swamp. Maybe we just jumped out of the German encirclement and fell into another encirclement. "“ Do you know the purpose of the German just now? " Gusip thought for a moment and replied, "I asked the sentry just now. He said that this morning general Vlasov sent an officer to the German position. Then when I came back just now, I brought back a German officer. " At this point, he stood up, pointed to a nearby door and said, "Rita, there's a bed in that room. Take a rest first. I don't think the conversation between the commander and the German will be over for a while. You'd better see him tomorrow. " After hearing what lieutenant gusip said, I knew that it was impossible to see Vlasov today, so I agreed to his arrangement. Before he left the room, I asked again, "gusipu, what's the name of this village?"“ It's like PIA what? By the way, it's called piatnica village. "
