Chapter 2528

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 undergoing emergency repairs. It will be repaired in one hour at most." The conductor said with a smile: "You can 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 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 so lazy that he couldn't raise 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 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 conductor that one-third of the garrison force on the train had been lost in the battle that just ended, and she was worried about what would happen next. On the way, they would encounter other gangsters, so they 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 see 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 probably take 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 is sleeping, naturally no one talks to Agelina. She can 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 Bridge in Warsaw and headed towards the station.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the train reached 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 was commanding the troops to forcefully cross the Vistula River and try 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?" Adelina asked in confusion: "These insurgents should understand that you are going to help them, why would they go back on their word and promise to pick you up, but then disappear at the critical moment?"

"Adelina," Sokov took out a cigarette box from his pocket, and a cigarette jumped out with a tremble of his hand. He put it in his mouth and was about to light it, but suddenly he thought that the box was too small. If he smoked, the room would become smoky, so he gave up the idea of ​​lighting a cigarette and continued: "You may not know that the insurgents in the city are actually divided into two parts."

"Well, I know this." After all, Adelina had been engaged in underground work in Warsaw for a period of time, and she knew the composition of the insurgents in the city. It was clear as day: "The insurgents were divided into two factions. One was the pro-Soviet Liudov Army, the Liudov Guards and the Peasant Camp; the other was the pro-British and American Krajow Army. They had a large number of troops and were well-equipped, so they occupied a major position in the Warsaw Uprising."

"Yes, you are right." Seeing that Ajelina knew the factions of the Warsaw Uprising very well, Sokov nodded and continued: "If these two factions worked together to deal with the Germans, I am afraid that the few Germans in Warsaw would have been driven out by them long ago. Unfortunately, after they revolted, they had a slight advantage, and the two sides had an internal conflict. They fought on their own on the battlefield and did not cooperate at all, which gave the Germans a chance to breathe. I remember It was you who passed on the intelligence to us at that time. Not only were the number of Germans in the city limited, but they were also ready to withdraw from Warsaw. As a result, the sudden uprising disrupted their deployment.

At the beginning, the Germans thought that the insurgents would get the support of our army, and they could not compete with us with their strength, so they were ready to break out. But after two days of fighting, they found that the insurgents in the city were fighting alone and did not form any coordination with our army outside the city. The Germans changed their minds and changed from abandoning Warsaw to sticking to Warsaw. Therefore, not only did they not retreat, but they also continuously transferred reinforcements from all over the country to Warsaw to fight a decisive battle with the insurgents in the city.

To put it bluntly, the insurgents Although there were many people, they lacked unified command, weapons and ammunition were insufficient, and there was a lack of tacit cooperation between them. Therefore, after the initial attack failed, they turned to defense and fought street battles with the Germans in the city. But they did not think that they were an isolated army without personnel and ammunition replenishment, and their numbers were getting smaller and smaller, and their bullets were getting less and less; while the Germans were not only constantly increasing their troops, but also strengthening their heavy weapons. In this case, let alone the poorly trained insurgents, even if my troops were pulled over, they would not be a match for the Germans. "

Just as Sokov finished speaking here, he heard the voice of the train conductor from outside: "Comrade General, we have arrived at Warsaw Station, please be ready to get off the train. "
