Burning Moscow

　　 When I hugged Kirianova tightly, I couldn't help but think of the scenes when I first met her.

　　 I turned into Lida that day, dragging my injured body, trying to stay awake, following the prisoners in a line, and the warrant officer who escorted them, and walked forward staggeringly.

　　 waded the creek with difficulty. Almost out of the forest. I felt that I was getting tired and I couldn't support it anymore, but I didn't dare to stop, because I knew that once I fell, I would never be able to get up again. The only thing that can be done is to follow the warrant officer in front of him and continue to move forward until he reaches his destination.

　　 In the silent forest, only heavy steps rang.

Dawns Here Are Quiet.

　　 Suddenly, countless Red Army soldiers emerged from the surrounding forests, hills, and rivers. They shouted and rushed to us. At the forefront, in addition to Warrant Lieutenant Vaskov’s immediate boss, Major Rostov, there was another female soldier, Sergeant Kiryanova, deputy platoon leader of the antiaircraft artillery company guarding the 171 convoy. People saw that our small team chasing the German army had not returned, so they deliberately brought a large force to search for us in the forest.

　　 I remember just fainting after reporting the results to Major Rostov.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on a stretcher that was temporarily tied up. Several male soldiers were carrying me through the dense forest, while the deputy platoon leader Sergeant Kirianova followed closely. Next to the stretcher, he was secretly wiping tears as he walked.

　　 "Kirianova," I just called her in a weak voice, she immediately bent down and grabbed my right hand, and asked me with concern: "Lida, how do you feel?"

"I'm not going to die, I'm dead, who will take care of my mother and son Alek." Although this is not what I want to say, I can't help but say it. It seems that Lida's body is in I am not alone in the final decision.

　　 Kiryanova nodded and wiped her tears, comforting me: "Lida, no, no, you will definitely not die. Hold on again and we will be back to the station soon."

　　 Later, Vaskov and I were sent to the Leningrad military hospital by the major. After I recovered from my injury, and then asked about the whereabouts of the warrant officers and the female soldiers, I learned that the 171 Club had been occupied by the Germans, and the nearby defensive troops were also dispersed. Since then, I have completely lost contact with them. Unexpectedly, I would be overjoyed to see my old superior in the tent of the Women's Air Defense Company on Lake Ladoga today.

　　 "Comrade company commander," the instructor next to me interrupted my memory. She tugged at Kirianova's clothes corner and reminded in a low voice: "Comrade company commander, the brigade political comrades are still here."

After Kirianova and I separated, while she was still wiping tears and finishing her clothes, I first stabilized my emotions and explained to Hijin apologetically: "Sorry, Comrade Political Commissar, please forgive me. I don’t have any. I thought I would meet Comrade Kirianova here. She used to be my platoon leader before, but after I was injured in the battle and was taken to the Leningrad hospital, I completely lost contact with her. Unexpectedly I was able to meet her here today, so my momentary gaffe, please understand me."

　　 Xijin laughed and said, "It’s a good thing that the old comrades reunite again. Anyway, I have already sent you to the destination. There is nothing wrong with me here. I won’t delay you from retelling the past. This time I will go to the city.

"Comrade Political Commissar," Kirianova said, holding him back: "It's not easy to walk when it's dark, so you can rest with us for one night. There is an empty tent right next to it, and you will stay there with the driver tonight. Go ahead."

　　 The political commissar looked at his watch, shook his head and said, "No, it's just eight o'clock now. At this time, we are going back and the time is right."

　　 At this time, I found out that the driver was not there. I just wanted to ask the political commissar. The driver had already walked in with a curtain and was still carrying my luggage. He put his luggage on the ground and said, "Comrade Major, I have taken your luggage." Before I could reply, he turned around and said to Hijin, "Comrade Political Commissar, the car has not stalled yet, shall we leave now? ?"

　　 Xijin nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." Parting and shaking hands with us one by one, then he opened the curtain and left with the driver.

　　 After the political commissars left, Kirianova took me to sit down at the table and asked curiously: "Lida, where have you been in the past few months, why haven't you heard from me at all?"

Instructor Orlova also echoed: "Yes, Lida, you can tell us about it. I often hear the company commander mention you, and hear her say that you have taken down German aircraft and followed Vaskov Warrant Officer. , To chase down the German devils who sneaked into the rear of our army. When you returned from the mission, you were seriously injured. After being sent to the Leningrad hospital, she completely lost your information."

I smiled slightly and turned off the subject and said, "This is a long story. I'll talk to you later. Comrade platoon commander, after I recovered from my wounds in the hospital, Marshal Tovoroshilov asked about you. The whereabouts of, the result was the news: 171 will let the Germans take over. Not only you and Warrant Lieutenant Vaskov lost the news, but also the whereabouts of Major Rostov, who is in charge of commanding us, is also unknown. Can you tell me, in me Did something happen during the hospitalization?"

　　 "Marshal Voroshilov?" The instructor looked at me with admiring eyes, and asked somewhat surprised: "Have you ever seen Comrade Marshal himself?"

　　 "Yes. I have seen it more than once." I replied faintly, saying that if you knew that I had even seen Stalin himself, you would probably faint in excitement.

Kirianova pushed a cup of hot tea in front of me, and then began to tell the story that happened when I left the 171 concession: "Shortly after you and Vaskov Warrant Lieutenant were sent to the Leningrad hospital, the Germans launched A new offensive was launched. Although our soldiers fought stubbornly and competed hard with the enemy, they were still unable to stop their attack. After Major Rostov’s railway junction was captured by the Germans, there was almost one. The soldiers of the company highlighted the enemy’s encirclement and escorted the wounded major to the 171 concession place. As a result, the German army followed and fought fiercely with us. Due to being outnumbered, after half a day of fighting, except for me and a few soldiers Escaped the encirclement from the lake, and the rest of the soldiers, including Major Rostov, all died heroically...."

　　 Seeing Kirianova’s painful expression when she recalled the past, I patted the back of her hand lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the whereabouts of Warrant Lieutenant Vaskov?"

　　 She shook her head instinctively, then nodded vigorously. Her contradictory expression confused me~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I asked strangely: "Do you know what happened to Comrade Warrant Officer?"

　　 She suddenly showed embarrassment, her expression was a little flustered, Huo Di stood up and replied: "I have heard some news about him, but I can't determine the true or false."

　　 "Whether it is true or not, let's hear it." To be honest, I am still very concerned about the whereabouts of the first person I saw after crossing.

"Some people say that after coming out of the hospital, Warrant Officer was transferred to a temporary unit and participated in the battle to defend the Pulkovo Heights. He had already died in the battle. Others said that Warrant Officer went straight after he was discharged from the hospital. At the railway junction station, he participated in the battle there. After most of the troops broke through, he also stood out and joined the guerrillas."

　　 Although I did not know the exact news of Vaskov from Kirianova’s mouth, my heart was relieved, because at the end of the novel, Comrade Warrant Officer went to find Lida’s son and raised him. Although Vaskov's whereabouts are unknown at this moment, he is a lucky person and will definitely live well.

While thinking about it, I heard Orlova’s voice again: "Comrade Major, you must know that you used to be a subordinate of a company commander, but now you are already a major. There must be a lot of legendary experience in it. Let's tell your story."

　　 "Yes, Lida." Kirianova also said: "It's been only a few months. You have become a major. There must be many stories in it. Just tell us."

　　 Seeing that the hospitality was difficult, I had to cough and began to tell my story to the two of them.
