Hubar stepped forward and said to Dunaev: "Comrade Captain, I am Major Hubar of the Lyudov Guards, thank you for saving us. Don't know what we can do for you? ”

"Major Hubar, this is the case." Dunayev repeated the contents of the telegram from the headquarters to Hubar and the commanders in the conference room, and finally emphasized: "...... In order to prevent Komorovsky and his Krajov army from colluding with the Germans, our superiors ordered us to launch an attack on the headquarters of the rebel army to eradicate the bad elements who were pro-German. ”

After Hubal finished speaking to Dunaev, he asked the question he had just asked again: "Comrade Captain, don't you know if we can help you with anything?" ”

"That's right, in the battle that just ended, quite a few commanders of the Krajov army fled." Dunayev said to Hubar: "I hope that you will inform the commanders and fighters of Komorovsky's collusion with the Germans through the communication system of the rebel army. ”

Khubal was silent about Dunayev's demands, weighing in his heart the consequences of doing so. Seeing that Hubar was slow to speak, a captain next to him could not hold his breath, and he said to Hubal: "Comrade Major, what's wrong with you, have you forgotten that the people of the Krajov army just wanted to kill us all?" ”

The captain's words finally made Hubal make up his mind. He faced Dunaev and said with a resolute expression: "Comrade Captain, I am willing to expose to all the officers and men of the rebel army about the collusion between Komorovsky and the Germans. ”

"Thank you, Comrade Major." Seeing that Hubar was willing to cooperate with his actions, a smile appeared on Dunayev's face, and he held the other man's hand tightly and thanked him again and again.

Rokossovsky, who was far away in Lublin, was relieved to learn that the troops of the 79th Guards Division had captured the headquarters of the Warsaw Insurgent Army and rescued all the commanders of the Lyudov Army who were imprisoned inside.

At this moment, the telephone on the table rang again, Terekin picked up the phone and listened, then covered the microphone and said to Rokossovsky: "Comrade Marshal, the main leading comrades of the Polish government have come here to visit us, and at this moment they are outside the headquarters. ”

"Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and invite them in." As soon as Rokossovsky said this, he felt that something was wrong, after all, the other party was the head of a country, and he was a little too snub to the other party, so he hurriedly added: "Forget it, I will personally go out to meet them." ”

When Rokossovsky came to the outside of the headquarters with Terekin, Malinin and others, he saw four or five black cars parked at the door, and several Polish leaders in civilian clothes were standing next to the cars.

Seeing Rokossovsky and them coming out, those people immediately greeted them. Terekin, who had met all the members of the new Polish government, took the initiative to introduce Rokossovsky to Rokossovsky: "This is the chairman of the committee, Comrade Moravsky,... This is Comrade Vitos, the deputy director,... This is the Minister of Defense, Colonel-General Zhimelsky. Finally, he pointed to the only lady and said, "This is Comrade Vasilevskaya, the deputy chairman." ”

After shaking hands with the members of the new government, Rokossovsky greeted everyone and said: "Comrades, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the house and talk." ”

Rokossovski led the members of the Polish government to a conference room, where everyone sat down in turn. He said to them in a heavy tone: "Polish leading comrades, I have bad news for you. The Krajov army, without ventilating our troops, launched an uprising in the city of Warsaw. Two of our divisions, the 79th Guards Division and the 3rd Polish Division, successfully captured the Veranov Palace, Moresyn Park, as well as the Vazienki Palace and the Lazienki Bridge.

In this case, even if they do not send troops to cooperate, they should send us guides to guide our troops to attack the vital sectors of the German army. Who knew that Komorovsky was deeply afraid that the city of Warsaw would fall into the hands of the new pro-Soviet government, and actually secretly colluded with the Germans to eliminate the Lyudov army in the rebel army by the hands of the Germans. ”

Rokossovsky's words immediately caused an uproar, and the heads of the Polish government immediately began to whisper. After the room was a little quieter, Vasilevskaya stood up and asked Rokossovsky with a serious expression: "Comrade Marshal, I would like to know whether what you said is your speculation or whether it really happened. ”

"It's real." Rokossovsky looked at Vasilevskaya and said: "According to the information we have, Komorovsky summoned all the commanders of the Lyudov army to his command headquarters for detention; At the same time, all the Lyudov army was gathered to attack the fortified positions of the German army, in an attempt to wipe out the Lyudov army through the hands of the Germans. ”

Although Rokossovsky truthfully stated the facts, Vasilevskaya said in a skeptical tone: "Comrade Marshal, I don't understand, how Komorovsky used the Germans to destroy Lyudov's army? ”

Instead of being angry, Rokossovsky patiently explained to Vasilevskaya that "Komorovsky ordered the fighters of the Lyudov Army to attack the fortified German positions, and in the areas where the Krajov Army and the Germans came into contact, a ceasefire was imposed, so that the Germans could calmly move their troops from these places to strengthen the attacked positions. ”

After Rokossovsky's explanation, everyone understood what was going on. Colonel-General Zhimelsky gritted his teeth and said: "This damned Komorowsky, he is simply a traitor to Poland, who actually betrayed his compatriots for his own selfishness. If I had to catch him, I'd have him torn to pieces. ”

"General Zhimelsky," Malinin said in a regretful tone after waiting for Zhimelsky to finish, "We immediately sent troops to attack the headquarters of the rebel army after learning that the commander of the Lyudov army was being held. After half an hour of fighting, our troops managed to occupy the area and free the imprisoned commanders. Regrettably, Komorowsky and most of his men fled. ”

It was a regrettable time for Komorovsky and his men to flee, but the commanders of the Lyudov Army, who were imprisoned, were rescued by the Soviet troops. Zhimelsky drew a cross on his chest, folded his hands and said: "Thank God, all our commanders were rescued." ”

"Comrade General, not all, to be precise, but some." Teregin hurriedly said to Zhimelsky: "Many of these commanders were brutally killed by the Krajov army during their captivity. ”

Moravsky stood up and looked at Rokossovsky and asked: "Comrade Marshal, I wonder what we have to serve you?" ”

"Comrade President," Rokossovsky said with a smile, "I hope that you will broadcast to the citizens of Warsaw so that everyone knows about Komorowsky's ugly deeds and the crimes he committed." At the same time, you tell the citizens that the Soviet Red Army was liberators, in order to free them from the clutches of the German fascists, in the hope that they would provide the necessary help to our army. For example, helping the wounded, acting as a guide, and so on. ”

"Don't worry, Comrade Marshal." When Moravsky waited for Rokossovsky to finish, he immediately nodded and said: "I will ask the Minister of Propaganda to immediately make such a broadcast so that the citizens of Warsaw will know what is happening in the city." ”

…………

The news of the Soviet attack on the headquarters of the rebel army soon reached the streets of Warsaw. The soldiers and citizens of the rebel army, who did not know the truth, became resistant to the Soviet army, feeling that they were the same as the Germans, and did not want to see themselves liberate their cities.

When the citizens saw the appearance of the Soviet troops, not only did they not welcome them, but they hid as if they had seen a leper. And some of the children spat at the Soviets when they saw them, and even threw stones at the Soviet commanders and fighters marching through the streets.

Seeing this, some of the young soldiers could not bear it and tried to fire warning shots at the children who threw stones and spit, but were stopped by their own commanders. The soldier was unconvinced and said: "Comrade company commander, look at those children, we are obviously here to liberate them, but they spit on us and throw stones, don't they regard us as enemies?" I shoot two shots to scare them, what's not to do? ”

"No, comrade warrior." Although the company commander was very upset with the hostile gaze of the Poles and the children who spat and threw stones at him, he maintained sufficient restraint: "These citizens are blinded people, and they will be friendly to us when they find out what is going on." ”

The words of the company commander were quickly fulfilled. With the new Polish government's broadcast, the citizens of Warsaw who could listen to the radio finally figured out the truth of the matter. They took to the streets to meet the Soviet commanders and fighters who were passing through the rubble. And the children, who had spat and threw stones at the Soviet troops, also realized their mistakes and stood on the side of the street with the adults to welcome their liberators.

Seeing that the order in the city was improving, Vajin hurriedly gave orders to the three regiment commanders below, asking them to lead their troops to the area where the fierce battle was being fought to reinforce the weak Lyudov army and prevent them from being wiped out by the strong German army.

And the battle for the Lazienki Bridge continues. Except for a small number of troops left by Galitsky to hold on to the occupied Vilanov Palace, Moresin Park and Vazienki Palace, the rest of the troops were placed in the direction of the Vazienki Bridge. Colonel Galitsky had secretly made up his mind that even if he had exhausted his troops, he would never let the Lazienki Bridge fall into the hands of the Germans.

"Comrade General, not all, to be precise, but some." Teregin hurriedly said to Zhimelsky: "Many of these commanders were brutally killed by the Krajov army during their captivity. ”

Moravsky stood up and looked at Rokossovsky and asked: "Comrade Marshal, I wonder what we have to serve you?" ”
