I didn't care to see if Ivan was following behind, and quickly dodged into the jungle, fleeing in the opposite direction.

When we fled, we were spotted by German armored vehicles on the road, who immediately turned their guns and fired at us. The bullets continued to hit the surrounding trees, breaking branches and leaves. I had only one thought in my heart, run! You must not be hit by a bullet or taken prisoner.

In times of crisis, people can always burst out to their maximum potential, and in the following time, I spent the rest of my life in a panic. Until Ivan grabbed me, gasped and said, "Less...... Comrade Major, no...... No need to run, Germans...... ...... by me We got rid of it. I stopped, crossed my hands on my waist, and stood beside a tree gasping for air.

When the breathing was even, I asked Ivan: "Ivan, are you sure that the Germans were dumped by us?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Major." Ivan said with certainty: "Just now the armored vehicles on the road just fired at us, and did not send anyone to pursue us at all." ”

"Huh?! Are you sure? Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but regret a little, I knew that the Germans didn't chase after me, why did I run so hard, tired like a dog. I sat down with my back to the trunk of the tree and said with some rejoicing: "It's good that we didn't cross the street with Instructor Zalilov, otherwise we would have lost our lives now." ”

"Instructor Zalilov is not dead." Ivan's words surprised me: "Just now when I was on the run, I looked back and saw that when the Germans who came out of the armored car captured him, he still fought with them stubbornly. ”

"Wrestling?!" I repeated the word and asked tentatively: "Ivan, you mean that the Zalilov instructor was captured by the Germans?" ”

"Yes. Maybe the Germans found out that he was a commander, so they didn't continue to shoot and wanted to catch him alive. ”

I looked around, and I couldn't figure out where I was except the trees or the trees, so I had to ask Ivan, "Ivan, where are we now, do you know the way?" ”

Ivan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Comrade Major, I don't know what to do. We were just running around in the forest and got lost again. ”

I was about to say a few more words, when Ivan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Major, someone is coming." With that, he took off the rifle on his back and lay down on the ground.

At the same time, the noise of the crowd was already heard from the side, and I removed the rifle from my back, also lay on the ground, rolled on the spot a few times, and rolled behind a tree four or five meters away from Ivan. After a while, a group of figures in the distance had already walked towards our location from far and near. I hurriedly buried my head low, afraid that someone would find out. As the footsteps got closer and closer, so did my heart, and when the first footsteps passed me, I was so scared that I almost wanted to jump up and turn around. But reason told me: I can't move! Can't move! If you move, you're dead! Can't move! Can't move!

Just then, the group stopped, and then I heard a man say, "Captain, let's try it here." ”

Then I heard another man say, "Okay, you guys are shouting around here to see if there's anyone around." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, I shivered excitedly, they all spoke Russian, could it be that they were here to meet our breakthrough troops? But I didn't have the courage to look up, for fear that when I looked up, I would be greeted by a row of black muzzles.

Just then, I heard someone start shouting, "Anyone? Is there anyone here? Are there any comrades from the 2nd Assault Army? He shouted the same words three times in a row. Maybe it was because he saw me lying on the ground and didn't move, so Ivan didn't act rashly.

The man shouted for a long time, and when he saw that no one answered, he said to the captain, "Captain, maybe there is no one here, let's go look for it somewhere else." "This time I heard very clearly, he spoke Russian, and the words were full of authentic Russian, which he had definitely spoken since childhood.

While I was still hesitating to stand up and greet them, Ivan had already taken the lead in standing up and excitedly shouted: "Hey, comrades, I'm here." ”

I didn't hear the other man speak, but there was a sound of pulling the bolt of the gun, and then a man shouted and asked, "Who are you?" "It's the captain who listens to the voice.

"Who else could it be? Comrade Captain. Ivan replied with some grievances: "Of course it's my own." ”

"It's your own people, put away your guns." After the captain gave the order, he then asked: "Comrade soldier, are you alone?" ”

"Alone, how is that possible. I was withdrawn from my position with Comrade Major. When Ivan said this, he began to call me out loudly: "Comrade Major, there is nothing to do, it is my own people." ”

"It turns out that you broke out with your commander, where is he?" The captain asked, his tone tinged with curiosity.

"I'm here," I tried to stand up, but because of excessive hunger, I ran out of strength when I ran for my life just now, and I couldn't stand up after several attempts, so I had to say weakly: "I can't stand up, who will help me." ”

Hearing me speak, the captain immediately commanded, "You two, hurry up and pick up the major." ”

Two fighters came over, bent down and lifted me up from the ground, and carried me to the captain.

"Hello, Comrade Major." The captain, wearing a large-brimmed hat and a brand new summer uniform, saluted me.

Looking at the young and handsome captain with a smile on his face, I felt a little kind, as if I had seen it somewhere before. However, this is not the right time to catch up, so I saluted him and asked, "Hello, Comrade Captain." What are you from? ”

The handsome captain replied simply and clearly: "Report to Comrade Major, we are a search team directly under the 372nd Division, and our mission is to find the lost commanders and fighters in the forest and take them to safety. ”

"Comrade Captain, do you have anything to eat?" After asking about the identity of the other party, I was a little embarrassed and said to the captain, "My fighters and I haven't eaten since yesterday. ...... "Before I could finish speaking, I felt my face burn.

The captain didn't say anything, but took out a packet of paper bread from his briefcase, handed it to me, and said, "Comrade Major, there is bread here, you can eat some first." After thanking him, I took the bread, opened it, and divided half of it to Ivan, who was drooling nearby.

The captain shook his head and said, "Let's go, Comrade Major, I'll take you to a safe place." Then he instructed his men: "You two help the Major and her warriors to carry their rifles." "So when we set off, Ivan's rifles and I were transferred to the shoulders of the search party fighters.

Ivan and I walked in the middle of the line, and after eating, we were somewhat relieved, and our feet stopped shaking when we walked. As I walked, Ivan suddenly whispered to me: "Look, Comrade Major, their equipment is really wonderful, everyone is carrying the latest submachine guns, even if we encounter the same number of Germans, we can destroy them with the advantage of firepower." ”

Hearing Ivan say this, I took a closer look at the troops, and indeed as Ivan said, all officers and soldiers, all of them carried the latest Bobosha submachine guns, and they all wore new summer uniforms, and wore large-brimmed hats or boat-shaped hats on their heads. Look at Ivan and I again, although the military uniforms on the two of them are not tattered, they are also dirty enough, where can they compare with other people's military appearances as if they were going to participate in a military parade.

Every time our team had gone a certain distance, they would stop, and then the captain would send someone into the jungle to shout a few times to see if there were any other lost commanders and fighters hiding in the woods. Unfortunately, their luck didn't seem to be very good, and apart from me and Ivan, they didn't find any other scattered personnel.

The procession walked through the forest, and no one spoke. As I walked, I began to think about this small unit, although their words and deeds were completely in line with the requirements of the Soviet army's regulations, this image was cultivated by years of queue training, and it was impossible to pretend, and everyone spoke standard Russian, wore Soviet uniforms, and held the latest Soviet weapons in their hands. But walking among them, I have a feeling of unsteadiness in my heart. The captain, in particular, looked so familiar with what he looked like, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it in a hurry.

As he walked, Ivan suddenly shouted: "Everyone be careful, there are Germans ahead!" ”

His shout interrupted my thoughts, and I hurriedly looked around and asked aloud: "Where are the Germans?" ”

Ivan pointed to me and said, "Right there, the tanks of the Germans." ”

I looked in the direction of his finger, but no, we didn't know when we came to a forest road, and more than a hundred meters in front of us, a tank was parked, and the white cross on it was very clear. Near the tank, there was also a group of Germans in steel helmets.

"Hell, it's German!" I was startled by the sight of the Germans suddenly appearing in front of me, and I rushed to the captain's side with an arrow, grabbed him by the shoulder, and reminded him loudly: "Captain, quickly tell your men to stop, there are Germans ahead." ”

Unexpectedly, the captain looked at me, with a hideous smile on his face, and said, "It's right that it's the Germans, and I will send you and your fighters to them safely." ”

I was confused by his reaction, what the hell is this TMD! As soon as my hand reached for the pistol, I was pressed against a hard erection at the waist, and a deep voice came from behind: "Don't move, Comrade Major, I will kill you if you move." I obediently stopped drawing my gun, and then the captain skillfully disarmed me, and said to me in a mocking tone: "Major Oshanina, we meet again." Do you remember who I am? ”

"Rai, you're Sergeant Rai." At this time, I suddenly remembered who he was, it turned out that he was a subordinate of Colonel Porosuhi of the Red Banner Division of the Far East, the Azerbaijani company of Colonel Rai, but I heard from the colonel that the company was all killed in the battle, and this damn bastard came out of nowhere.

"You have a good memory, Comrade Major." Rai smirked in front of me and said, "But I want to correct you, I'm not a sergeant now, I'm a captain, the commander of the German 47th Vostok Battalion. Then he instructed one of his men: "Go and signal the Germans, lest there be a misunderstanding later." After saying that, he sneered at me again and again.

Enraged by his sneer, my breathing became heavy, my fingers trembled, and I yelled at him, "You damned traitor. Then she lunged at him. Before my hand could touch his body, I was hit the back of the head, and then my eyes went black and I lost consciousness.
