Red Moscow

After Shamrih and others said goodbye and left, Sokov stood there in a daze for a while, and then said to Menshov who was standing next to him: "Comrade Captain, it's almost time. You can send someone to clean up the ruins and look inside." Any lucky guy survived."

"Okay, Comrade General, I will personally take people over to clean up."

But Menshov took a few steps in the direction of the ruins. Suddenly he thought of something and stepped back. He said to Sokov sincerely: "Comrade General, it's too cold outside. I'll send two soldiers to escort you back to the train." Bar."

"Okay." Seeing that the gangsters had been dealt with and that there was no need for him to stay here to blow the northwest wind, Sokov agreed to Menshov's proposal and returned to the train under the escort of the two soldiers he sent.

When he was about to get on the train, he saw the conductor and Torba getting out of the train. Sokov stopped and asked them, "When can the train leave?"

"Comrade General, the road ahead is under emergency repair. It will be repaired in one hour at most." The conductor said with a smile: "You go back to the box and rest for a while."

Sokov couldn't help but frown slightly and said dissatisfied: "Why hasn't the railway been repaired for so long?"

"The railway that was blown up by the gang was more than 50 meters long." The conductor was worried that Sokov would be angry, so he took the initiative to explain to him: "Repairing the railway does not mean just laying the rails directly. Because the explosion caused the paving underneath the rails to be shattered. A lot of rocks were blown away, and railway workers need to shovel out the rubble in this area and re-pave it. After all this is done, the tracks can be laid. Therefore, it will take a lot of time to repair this section of the railway. "

After Sokov figured out what was going on, he nodded slightly and asked Torba who was standing next to him: "Comrade Sergeant, did your men suffer any casualties in the battle that just ended?"

"Two people were killed and three were injured."

"Five casualties." Sokov couldn't help but worry after hearing this: "Comrade Sergeant, this is equivalent to a direct reduction of one-third of the number. If we are attacked by gangs again on the road, will we still be able to deal with them?"

"Comrade General, you don't have to worry about your safety along the way." After the train conductor waited for Sokov to finish speaking, he quickly said: "We can ask Captain Menshov to send someone to escort, so that even if we encounter gangsters again on the road, they will be safe. No need..." When he said this, he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and quickly explained, "Comrade General, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that we will encounter gangs again, but I'm just making a big mistake. angry!"

Sokov felt that what the train conductor said made sense. As long as Menshov dispatched even one platoon to escort them, even if they encountered gangs on the road, they would still be able to fight. Unlike just now, when there was only one garrison squad facing hundreds of enemies. It seems a little powerless. If it weren't for the bandit leader's poor command skills, the train might have been occupied by the bandits long ago. Even if Sokov tried his best, he was lucky enough to be able to rescue Agelina alone.

"Conductor, you are right." Sokov said in order to dispel the conductor's concerns: "As long as Captain Menshov sends someone to escort us, our train will reach Berlin smoothly."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the conductor showed a surprised expression on his face: "Comrade General, because the train was damaged when it was attacked by gangs, we may have to stay for a while after arriving in Warsaw to conduct inspections on the train. repair."

"What, you want to stay in Warsaw for a while?" Sokov asked in surprise: "I wonder how long you want to stay?"

"It shouldn't take too long." The train conductor said, "About half a day to a day."

"Okay then." Sokov yawned and said, "I'll go back to the box to sleep for a while, and then wake me up when we get to Warsaw."

"Okay, Comrade General." The train conductor said respectfully, "When we get to Warsaw, I will call you personally."

When Sokov returned to the box, Agelina immediately threw herself into his arms and asked eagerly: "Misha, have all the gangsters been eliminated?"

"Yes, Agelina, they have all been wiped out." After wiping out the gangsters who attacked the train, Sokov felt that all the energy in his body had been drained out. He was too lazy to lift his energy. Even if he spoke, he could not speak. With a sense of tiredness and laziness: "I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while."

"You didn't sleep last night, you must be very tired." Agelina quickly took the assault rifle from Sokov's hand, placed it in the corner near the door, and helped him remove it from his belt. magazine, took off his cold military coat, and finally helped him lie down on the berth.

"Agelina," although Sokov felt that his eyelids were as heavy as lead, he still managed to gather his energy and said to Agelina: "This train will stay in Warsaw for half a day to a day. You can Go find your old friends..."

Agelina was very surprised when she heard what Sokov said. She quickly asked: "Misha, why do we have to stay in Warsaw for half a day to a day?"

"Because the train was attacked and the carriages were damaged and need to be repaired in Warsaw..." Sokov's weak voice quickly disappeared and was replaced by shouts.

Agelina knew very well that although Sokov had been lying on the berth last night, he did not fall asleep at all, otherwise he would not have jumped out of the berth decisively as soon as the gunshots were fired, and prepared Preparation to shoot out the window. At this moment, the gangsters have been eliminated, and the opponent's spirit has relaxed, and he will naturally feel tired. Agelina quickly shakes off the quilt and gently covers Sokov, for fear of disturbing his sleep.

Under emergency repairs by railway workers, the railway finally returned to normal two hours later. After cleaning up the ruins, Menshov returned to the train. He was about to report the situation to Sokov. Unexpectedly, when he came to the door of the box, he was stopped by Agelina: "Comrade Captain, what can I do for you?" ?"

"That's it, girl." Menshov quickly explained to Adelina: "I want to report to Comrade General about the suppression of bandits. I wonder if you can inform me."

"I'm sorry, Comrade Captain, the general has already gone to bed." Agelina replied in a nonchalant manner: "He is just an ordinary passenger, not your superior commander, so you don't have to ask him about the annihilation of the gang." report."

"Oh, so that's it." Menshov thought about it, and it seemed like this was the case. Sokov was not his superior. He just came out to give him some orders when he was annihilating the gangs. Now that the gang has been eliminated, it doesn't seem to matter even if they don't report to him. Thinking of this, Menshov saluted Agelina: "I'm sorry, girl, for disturbing me."

After saying that, Mensov turned around and left.

"Wait a moment, Comrade Captain."

Hearing Agelina calling him from behind, Menshov stopped, turned to look at Agelina and asked politely: "Is there anything else you can do?"

"That's it, Comrade Captain." Agelina learned from Torba and the train conductor that one-third of the garrison force on the train had been lost in the battle that just ended. She was worried about what would happen next. On the way, I would encounter other gangsters, so I asked tentatively: "I wonder if you can leave some of your manpower to protect the safety of the train?"

"Of course." Unexpectedly, Menshov answered very simply: "No one knows what will happen on the next journey. As a member of the road protection team, it is my duty to protect the safety of the train. Even if you Don’t tell me, I plan to leave two platoons of troops on the train to protect the safety of the train.”

"Thank you, Comrade Captain, thank you very much." Knowing that Mensov planned to leave two platoons of troops to ensure the safety of the train, Agelina couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly expressed her gratitude to Mensov: " With your protection, we will be able to reach Warsaw safely?”

"Warsaw?" Menschov couldn't help but be startled after hearing this, and then asked: "Aren't you going to Berlin? Why did your destination become Warsaw again?"

After Adelina fell asleep in Sokov, she went to the conductor and Torba to find out the situation. Therefore, the questions raised by Menshov did not trouble her: "When the train was attacked by gangs, the train body was damaged in many places. If it is damaged, it needs to be repaired at Warsaw Station, which will take about half a day to a day.”

"Oh, so that's what happened." Menshov originally thought that he was going to escort the train to Berlin, so he planned to leave two platoons behind and then take the remaining people back to the station. But when he heard what Agelina said, he changed his mind: "Since I am escorting you to Warsaw, I plan to lead the team myself and take you to your destination."

The train restarted and headed towards Warsaw.

It was a pity that Sokov was fast asleep along the way, otherwise he would point out the window and tell Agelina where his troops had fought and what results they had achieved. But now that he was sleeping, naturally no one talked to Agelina. She could only look at the scenery flashing outside the window, recalling the scene in Warsaw that year. She was even thinking that Warsaw was said to have been completely destroyed by the Germans. She wondered if she would still be able to see her comrades who fought side by side when she arrived in Warsaw. If not seen, were they sacrificed or sent to other areas?

After more than three hours of turbulence, the train finally drove onto the Vistula River Bridge in Warsaw and headed towards the station.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the train crossed the Vistula Bridge, Sokov sat up from the sleeper and asked Agelina, who was staring out the window in a daze: "Agelina, have we arrived in Warsaw?"

"Yes, we have entered the city of Warsaw and are crossing the Vistula Bridge." After Agelina said this, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Misha, how did you know that we had arrived in Warsaw? ?”

"I just had a dream. I dreamed that I commanded the troops to cross the Vistula River and tried to establish a landing site in the West City District of Warsaw. Unfortunately, as soon as the troops landed, they were counterattacked by the German armored forces and were driven out of the maintenance area. Sva River." Sokov sighed: "I was suddenly awakened."

"Misha, I remember that your troops seemed to have crossed the Vistula River, right?" Agelina asked cautiously.

"Yes, some troops did cross the river with the Polish army." Sokov couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of the past events: "The person in charge of the rebel army in the city at that time said that he would send personnel to meet us. Who knew We waited by the river for a long time, but instead of waiting for a response, we waited for a German counterattack. Finally, we had to abandon the landing site and retreat to the other side of the Vistula River in despair. "

"Why is this happening?" Agelina asked puzzledly: "These rebels should understand that you are here to help them. Why did they break their promises and promised to help you, but at the critical moment they disappeared without a trace? ”

"Agelina," Sokov took out the cigarette case from his pocket. With a shake of his hand, a cigarette jumped out. He held it in his mouth and was about to light it when he suddenly thought that this box was too small. If he Smoking would make the room smoky, so he gave up his plan to light a cigarette and continued: "You may not know that the rebel army in the city is actually divided into two parts."

"Well, I know that." After all, Agelina had been engaged in underground work in Warsaw for a period of time, so she naturally knew the composition of the rebels in the city: "The rebels are divided into two factions. One is the pro-Soviet Liu The Dov Army, the Liudov Guards and the Peasant Battalion; the other faction was the Krajow Army, which was close to Britain and the United States. Because of their large number of troops and well-equipped equipment, they occupied a major position in the Warsaw Uprising. "

"Yes, you are right." Seeing that Agelina knew the factions of the Warsaw Uprising Army very clearly, Sokov nodded and continued: "If these two factions work together to deal with the Germans, , I am afraid that the Germans in Warsaw have been driven out by them long ago. Unfortunately, after they rose up and gained some advantages, the two sides started fighting internally and fought independently on the battlefield without any cooperation at all, thus giving the Germans a chance. To take a breather. I remember that it was you who conveyed the information to us. Not only were the number of Germans in the city limited, but they were also planning to evacuate Warsaw. However, the sudden uprising disrupted their deployment.

At the beginning, the Germans thought that the rebels would get the support of our army. With their strength, they would not be able to compete with us, so they were ready to break out. But after two days of fighting, they discovered that the rebel army in the city was fighting alone and did not cooperate with our army outside the city at all. The Germans changed their minds and changed from abandoning Warsaw to sticking to Warsaw. Therefore, they not only There was no retreat, and reinforcements from various places were continuously transferred to Warsaw to engage in a decisive battle with the rebels in the city.

To put it bluntly, although the number of the rebels was large, they lacked unified command, insufficient weapons and ammunition, and lacked tacit cooperation with each other. Therefore, after the initial attack failed, they turned to defense. , fighting street battles with the Germans in the city. But they never thought that they were a lone army without replenishment of men and ammunition. Their numbers were getting smaller and smaller, and their bullets were missing each time. As for the Germans, they were not only increasing their troops, but also strengthening their strength. Heavy weapons. In this case, let alone the under-trained insurgents, even if my troops were pulled over, they would not be a match for the Germans. "

As soon as Sokov finished speaking, he heard the train conductor's voice coming from outside: "Comrade General, we have arrived at Warsaw Station. Please be ready to get off."
