Chapter 1586

The search officially ended at 12:00 noon, and nine pilots were found by the troops in charge of the search. Five of them died and four were injured. The other two pilots, however, had no dead bodies.

After learning the result, rokosovsky said angrily on the phone: "Rita, the two missing pilots are both transport pilots. They know the transport plan. Once captured by the German army, our army's aerial landing behind the defense line will be exposed, which will be very detrimental to major monakov's operations. So I command you to find them anyway. "

When I listened to rokosovsky's rebuke, I thought to myself that the Germans were not fools. Even if the pilot didn't fall into their hands, didn't we know that we were landing behind them? But I said respectfully: "I understand, marshal. I will continue to send people to search for the two missing pilots. Even if they fall into the hands of the Germans, I will try my best to rescue them. "

After putting down the phone, I asked trakov, "general trakov, marshal told us to find the two missing pilots anyway. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Trekov shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "our troops have searched along the river, but they didn't find the transport plane driven by the two pilots. Maybe they fell into the visva river when they crashed and were washed away by the fast water."

"If it's washed away, it's a good thing." After listening to trakov's words, I said thoughtfully: "the pilots of transport planes have charts in their hands. If they don't destroy the charts in time when they fall into the hands of the Germans, then even if they refuse to confess, the enemy can know our specific landing location according to the charts. As long as we have a look at the field, we will find that we have a force of several hundred people who are flying in their rear. When that happens, major monakov and their actions may be affected. "

"What if the Germans found out the intention of our army?" As soon as I finished, trakov said impatiently, "we can't let major monakov lead the troops back."

I don't know why trakov was so angry. He looked at him for some unknown reason, trying to hear what he wanted to say.

Seeing me staring at him, trikov realized that he was a little bit impolite. He gave me a wry smile and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Rita. I didn't control my emotions. Please forgive me!"

"Never mind, general trakov." I knew that trekov's sudden attack was definitely not aimed at me, so I asked, "can I ask you the reason for your anger?"

Trikov got up, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of me. After a little relief of the embarrassing atmosphere in the room, he said, "Rita, you don't know that the former Polish government is famous for anti Soviet. During the October Revolution, it was one of the most active members of the interventionist army. When the red regime was in trouble, it stabbed us in the back, It even occupied Kiev for a time. In the Warsaw campaign, we suffered another tragic defeat and had to cede Western Belarus and western Ukraine. These lost territories did not return to us until the end of 1939.

The Warsaw Uprising was launched by the pro western government in exile and did not contact us in advance. The reason why they launched the uprising in a hurry, regardless of whether the time was right or not and whether the strength in their hands was enough, was to fight for territory and occupy Warsaw before our army arrived. "

Originally, I did not support rokosovsky's troops here, and did not support the Warsaw Uprising nearby. I also had some complaints. But after listening to what trakov said, I immediately realized that my idea was too naive. Our troops did not continue to advance to Warsaw, no matter for military reasons, but also restricted by political factors.

After a moment of silence, I asked tentatively, "general trakov, have we ever had contact with the rebels in the city since the Warsaw Uprising broke out?"

"Of course I have." Trekov nodded his head and said, "with the help of the ryudov army in the city, I once accompanied marshal rokosovsky to meet the representatives of the krayov army."

"The army of lyudov? The krayov army After I saw the two strange words repeated again, I curiously asked trakov, "what kind of troops are these two?"

After listening to my question, trikov immediately explained to me with a smile, "the ryudov army is led by the pro Soviet Polish government, also known as the" Polish people's army. "; The krayov army was led by the pro Western Polish government in exile, also known as the "domestic army."

"So it is." After making clear the relationship between the two armies, I continued to ask, "general trakov, I don't know if you and marshal went to meet the officers of the krayov army. What did you get?"

He snorted heavily, and then said with disdain, "we met with several officers of the seventh division of the krayov army. They wore Polish uniforms and behaved arrogantly. They refused our proposal to cooperate with each other in the war against the German Communist army, and brazenly declared that, The krayov army only obeys the orders of the Polish government in London and its plenipotentiaries, and does not recognize the Polish government established in hewum. "

"These bastards," I said in a low voice, then asked again, "and then? Is there no agreement reached at this meeting? "“ That's right. We went for nothing. " "The officers also said with great eloquence:" we will not take up arms against the Red Army, but we do not want to have any contact with you. " It's a bunch of uneducated guys. They don't even have basic manners. " After listening to trakov's story, I finally understand why he has prejudice against the poles. Even if it was me, I would not help these ungrateful poles. However, there are feelings for poles on one hand, but orders from superiors should be carried out unconditionally. After a while, I said to trakov, "general trakov, I understand your feelings, but our first task is to continue to send people to search for the missing pilot. Even if they fall into the hands of the Germans, we should find a way to send people to rescue them. "“ I understand, "trikov is also a person who knows how to control his emotions. After hearing my order, he immediately called the commander of the troops along the river and told them to continue to send people to search along the river and make sure to find the lost pilot.
