Chapter 349

Although the tank soldier's driving skill is very good, it is still like dancing when driving at high speed on the road full of craters. While I was holding Alek, I also grasped the handle on the turret firmly, so as not to bump me down when the tank dodged one dark crater after another.

Less than two kilometers ahead, more and more bodies on the ground, and the remains of tanks, armored vehicles, motorcycles and trucks still burning, are telling people silently how fierce the fighting here not long ago was. It seems that captain boroda's troops may have met and fought with the Germans here. As boroda was eager to find general Vlasov's whereabouts, he didn't even clean the battlefield. The remains of our soldiers and the bodies of German soldiers were lying there, guns and ammunition scattered everywhere.

Looking at the dead bodies in various positions and the dense craters on the roadside, I could not help but look at him sideways. This little guy didn't know when he had fallen asleep. Now he was sleeping sweetly with his head resting on my shoulder. He didn't see the bloody scenes that might leave a psychological shadow on him.

Boroda looked down at Alek, who was held in my arms. She squatted down and asked in a low voice, "Comrade major, whose child is this?"

I gave him a smile and whispered, "his name is Alek. He's my son."

"What?" Hearing my answer, boroda raised her voice in surprise, "your son? How can you have such a big son? What's more, I don't understand why your son appeared in the forest near liuban with you? You know, he's such a small child that he can't come to this area alone. "

To tell you the truth, I don't know why alik appeared in piatnica village. But since captain boroda asked, I couldn't help answering, so I said vaguely, "after the war broke out, I joined the army and left home, and lost contact with my mother and son. Later, after several inquiries, I found out that they were in Leningrad, and I went to them. As a result, my neighbor told me that they had evacuated. I had no hope of finding them, but I met my son in the village of piatnica. "

"And your mother?"

"Dead," I replied calmly, "because of malnutrition." Although I don't know how Rita's mother died, it's the most acceptable reason to use this excuse to prevaricate.

After listening to my explanation, boroda blushed. He coughed and said, "I'm sorry, major oshanina. I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness." With that, he stood up again, holding the handle.

Half an hour later, we approached a small village. There is a temporary checkpoint at the entrance of the village, with a cross bar in the middle of the road and machine gun fortifications piled with sandbags on both sides. Seeing our tank moving towards the village, a soldier stood in front of the crossbar and waved a signal flag to us to stop.

The tank stopped, and boroda jumped out of the tank and went to meet the soldier.

At this time, alik also woke up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked lazily, "Mom, where are we?"

I looked at the village surrounded by the forest, shook my head and said, "I don't know."

After a few words with the soldier on duty, the soldier turned and ran to raise the bar. The captain gestured to us that the tanks and motorcycles should go straight into the village.

The tank stopped in an open space. I jumped out of the tank first, and then I took Alec off the tank. Originally, I still wanted to hold him, but he resolutely refused to say that he was afraid of tiring me. So I took him and stood there waiting for boroda to come.

Boroda trotted up to me and said, "major oshanina, the 378th division of the 59th army is stationed here. The division commander is colonel dorofeyev. His headquarters are in the village. "

I looked at Alec and said in a bit of embarrassment, "Captain, what about this kid?"

Boroda looked around, pointed to a wooden house in the distance and said, "major, there's a medical station there. I suggest you send the child there first and let the female health workers take care of it for you. "

I saw that near the wooden house, the health workers came in and out from time to time. It seems that there are still many people. It is better to put the children there than to take them everywhere. So I nodded and led Alek and boroda to the medical station.

Just outside the medical station, a young female nurse came to us with a smile on her face and asked boloda, "Comrade commander, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that the female health worker only said hello to him, boroda gave me an embarrassed smile and then replied, "Comrade health worker, because we have something important to do, do you think it's convenient to put the child here for the time being?"

"No problem, just leave the baby to me." With that, she bent down and waved to Alek, "come to me, little friend."

Alex looked up at me and waited for my decision. I nodded with a smile and said softly, "go ahead, Alek!" With my permission, alik let go of my hand and ran quickly to the woman health worker.

Looking at the woman health worker holding alik up, I first said thanks to her, and then asked: "female health worker comrades, do not know how to address you?"“ Ulanova, just call me ulanova. "“ Comrade ulanova, "Captain boroda stopped the woman health worker who was about to leave and asked," I want to ask you how to get to your division headquarters. " Hearing boluoda ask the division headquarters, ulanowa gave a shiver inexplicably. Then she pointed to a certain direction and said, "go east, walk 200 meters, and see the house with several sentries at the gate." With that, he ran away without looking back. Seeing the strange performance of ulannova, boroda and I looked at each other. We didn't know that she was fine. How did she hear that the division headquarters became like this. We walked down in the direction pointed by ulannova. As expected, we soon saw several sentries standing guard in front of a big wooden house. It seems that this is the division headquarters we are looking for. Boroda and I walked back and forth to the gate of the headquarters. Facing the incoming sentry, boroda said, "I'm captain boroda, the adjutant of commander meletskov. I'd like to meet your division commander. Is he there?"“ Yes, comrade captain. Mr. and Comrade are inside. Please follow me. " Then the sentry would take boroda inside. I hastened to follow up, but was blocked by another sentry. He said in an official voice: "sorry, this female soldier, this is the division headquarters, not everyone can enter. You just stay outside and wait for the captain to come out."“ Hello, comrade soldier Captain boroda, who was walking inside, heard the man's words, immediately stopped and said sternly, "that's major oshanina. Let her come quickly." When he heard that I was a major from boroda, the sentry was surprised. He quickly stepped aside and bowed to invite me in.
