Section 88 A generation of famous generals
Crochkov sat in the co-pilot's seat, and I could only go to the back and sit with General Vlasov.
Strange to say, although Vlasov saved my life just now, sitting with this life-saving benefactor, I felt uncomfortable and looked extraordinarily restrained. He didn't speak, I didn't speak first, I just clutched the submachine gun in my arms, twisted my head to the side, and looked out the window.
All the way I thought that I was a soul who had traveled to this plane, borrowed Leda's body, and occasionally saw something strange, and it was reasonable. But why did General Vlasov see the soul of Admiral Kirponos? What's even more bizarre is that when we were communicating with the souls, we disappeared out of sight of the others. As soon as I thought about it, I felt a chill come out of my back.
Thinking back to the last time I met the real Leda in a dream, next to the puddle just now, my Russian level reached the level of my mother tongue almost overnight, could it be that after communicating with Leda, I directly inherited all her language memory? Then we jumped to the end of 2009, when Russian television news reported that a flying saucer had appeared near Red Square, and a video was shown for several minutes. Judging by where the UFO hovered at the time, it was not far from this cathedral. Could it be that there is some mysterious power hidden in the place where this church is located? And when General Vlasov and I saw the Admiral's soul, we were briefly swept into this mysterious space, so that the others could not see us for a while.
"Comrade Oshanina! Comrade Oshanina!! "Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Vlasov's shouts from the side. I quickly calmed down, turned my head to look at him, and asked, "Comrade General, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"What are you thinking? I screamed several times and you didn't respond. The general said with a little dissatisfaction.
"I ...... I was thinking, what important task will Comrade Boskrebeshev let me perform? I will actually let you drive with Comrade Krochkov to chase me back. ”
"Comrade Crochkov, do you think I'm here to give Comrade Oshanina an explanation, or are you coming?" Vlasov asked Crochkov, who was sitting in the front row.
Hearing the general call him, Crochkov turned his head and looked at me first, then turned his head to the general, and said, "It's better for you to give an account yourself, Comrade General." Comrade Boskrebeshev sent me only to lead you two to your destination. ”
"Got it, then I'll take care of it." Vlasov held his glasses back with his fingers, and then said to me slowly: "We chased you back today because we wanted you to accompany me to meet someone." ……”
"Anyone, do I know?" Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Don't interject yet, listen to me first." He raised his hand to stop me from continuing, and when he saw that I nodded in understanding, he continued: "The person we are going to meet is a comrade from China. He was a prodigy with great military talent, and when Germany invaded France last year, he accurately pointed out that the Germans would bypass the heavily defended Maginot Line and attack France from the flanks in a massive detour. The reason why he made such a prediction was because of this tactic, which was often used by the Chinese Red Army in the struggle against encirclement and suppression in the Soviet zone of China. ……”
Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning and racking my brains to think: Who will this famous military strategist of our country be? The domestic War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has entered a stage of stalemate, and those future generals and marshals of the Republic are on their respective battlefields, commanding troops and fighting to the death against the Japanese invaders, who will run to the Soviet Union at this time? Could it be a general of the national army, but I don't seem to have heard of any famous generals who have been to the Soviet Union, and they usually go to the United States. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a reason.
Vlasov was still gushing: "After the German occupation of Poland, the High Command held an important military meeting, and invited this comrade to attend. At that meeting, the marshals and generals of our army believed that if war broke out with Germany, they would definitely attack rich Ukraine first. However, this comrade tried his best to disagree, saying that if Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, he would not only plunder the wealth and resources of the Soviet Union, but also completely destroy the Soviet Union, so he would not fight from Ukraine, but would attack from the Caucasus on the Western Front, from the Baltic Sea to the Carpathian Mountains, and occupy Moscow. The participants shook their heads at his proposal, and none of them agreed with his point of view, and finally deployed the main forces in Ukraine. As a result, the Germans really attacked according to the route he predicted. ”
"He's amazing!" Hearing that my compatriots are so capable, I also have a sense of honor, so I can't help but praise it.
After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, he, who had been paying close attention to the war situation, proposed to the Supreme Commander that the Western Front and the Reserve Front were in danger of being surrounded by the German army, and asked the High Command to take preventive measures as soon as possible. Unfortunately, his reminder did not attract anyone's attention, and as a result, the situation was really as he had analyzed, and the two fronts were encircled by the Germans, and a large number of loyal commanders and fighters with rich combat experience sacrificed their precious lives. ……”
The car stopped in front of a white building, I opened the door and stepped out, then went around the back of the car to the other side and opened the door for Vlasov.
At the entrance of the building, in addition to the two soldiers standing guard, there was a lieutenant officer on duty who walked around with his hands behind his back. When he saw the three of us walking over, he stepped forward to stop us, and just as he was about to say something, Krochkov had already taken out his ID and handed it over. As soon as the officer saw the red cover of the ID, he immediately stood up and sideways to make way for us.
Walking into the building, to the right of the door was a duty room, and Crochkov asked me to hand over the submachine gun and camouflage suit to the duty officer before leading us forward along the corridor.
As we walked along the corridor, Vlasov explained to me the task of the trip: "Comrade Stalin said that this Chinese comrade who had come to the Soviet Union to recuperate from his wounds was a rare military talent, and we should try to persuade him to stay and serve us. As long as he is willing to stay, we can even provide their troops with two divisions of military equipment. Your mission here today is to persuade him to stay. As for his position, let him serve as deputy commander and chief of staff of my 20th Army. After fighting one or two battles and establishing a certain prestige in the troops, he was sent to the Western Front headquarters as Zhukov's deputy. ”
"But Comrade General," I said with some embarrassment, "I am afraid that I will not be able to accomplish this task, and he will not necessarily listen to me." ”
"The person who assigned you here is the Supreme Commander himself." This time it was Crochkov who spoke, and he lowered his voice and said: "This Chinese comrade has read the record of your speech on the Kremlin podium, praised you, and said that you are also a great military genius, and he has asked Comrade Stalin more than once to find an opportunity to get to know you." ”
"Huh?!" I didn't expect that I would attract the attention of my compatriots, which was such a surprise. However, from the two points of "recuperation" and "substitution of weapons and equipment" by Vlasov, I have already vaguely guessed who I am going to meet.
As he spoke, having reached the end of the corridor, Crochkov walked up to the door of the confinement room and knocked lightly twice. The door soon opened, revealing a soldier in a gray military uniform without a hat. My eyes were sharp, and I could see clearly that his armband had two words written in Chinese, "Eight Roads". The soldier held his hand to the door and did not speak, but swept his eyes suspiciously over the few of us uninvited guests.
"Comrade Shi Zhe, who is from outside?" Before we could speak, a deep voice came from the room, and although he didn't speak Russian, I understood it all because he spoke Chinese. Hearing this familiar mother tongue again, my heart beat sharply, and tears welled up in my eyes. Fortunately, I stood at the back of the closest, and Vlasov and Krochkov stood in front with their backs to me, just blocking the view of the warrior, so that no one could notice my gaffe.
"Comrade division commander, three Soviet comrades have come to you!" The comrade named Shi Zhe turned his head and said to the people inside.
"Invite them in."
Hearing the instructions of the people inside, Shi Zhe took a step back, opened the door wide, and asked us to make a gesture of please.
I followed everyone into the room, and saw a young man standing at a table against the wall, also wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army. It's only a cursory glance, but that's enough for my familiarity with him, and I'm fully sure he's the guy I've just guessed.
"Hello! Nice to meet you! Vlasov was the first to step forward and stretched out his hand to him, and Shi Zhe was next to him and translated this sentence into Chinese in time. When the two were shaking hands, Vlasov introduced himself to the other party: "I am Vlasov, commander of the 20th Army, and I have made a special trip to visit you today. ”
Croshikov seemed to be a regular visitor here, and after Vlasov finished shaking hands, he also stepped forward to shake the other party politely. Then, according to Russian tradition, he pointed to me and introduced him: "This female officer is the Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina that you have always wanted to know." ”
"Comrade Oshanina," after introducing me, he pointed his finger to the other party and introduced me again: "This comrade is the commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army from China......
Before Krochkov finished his introduction, I had already stepped forward to shake the hand of this great man and said excitedly: "Hello, Master Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you!" After saying that, I realized that I had made a big mistake, and this sentence was actually said in Chinese.
There was silence in the room, and everyone looked at me in amazement.
