USSR 1941

I wish all brothers a happy Lantern Festival!

***********

Shulka likes this feeling, likes the feeling that someone is waiting to greet him at the station after returning from a narrow escape from the battlefield, which makes him feel like he has a home and a destination.

But Shulka does seem to have a home, because after Valrasha, two middle-aged men appeared in front of Shulka.

Shulka almost couldn't recognize them, but when the middle-aged woman called Shulka while crying, Shulka remembered that she had seen them once.

It was in Volokolamsk, they were building trenches, the difference is that then they were covered in mud and now they were wearing clean clothes.

Yes, they are Shulka's parents.

Shulka cast doubtful eyes on Valrasha.

Val Lasha laughed: "Look at you, so surprised! They are the hero's mother and the subjects of my interview, so we got to know each other in advance!"

"Yes, Shulka!" Mother held Shulka's hand, with tears in her eyes but a smile on her face: "Comrade Major entertained us, she is a good comrade! Only, she never told us ..."

"Aunt Tasia!" Walrasha hastily interrupted her mother's words.

So Shulka understood what her mother meant: Valrasha never told her about her relationship with Shulka, or it can be said that Varrasha herself was not sure about her relationship with Shulka know how to say it.

Until the moment Shulka just got out of the car.

Later, Shulka found out that the parents were really scared at that time, because the host who entertained them was actually a major. Although she was a reporter, the rank of major was not common in the Soviet army at this time.

Therefore, they have been a little trembling during this time, not knowing what mistakes they made or other things, until Shuerka got out of the car and hugged Walrasha for a circle, and their hanging hearts were relieved .

His father even secretly pushed Shuerka aside and gave him a thumbs up: "I said Shuerka, you have a good eye, much better than your father!"

Then he laughed.

"Comrade Lieutenant!" Pukarev called in Shulka's direction.

"I should go!" Shulka said, and then Shulka gratefully shook Valrasha's hand and said, "Thank you, Valrasha, for helping me take care of them!"

"I will!" Val Lasha seemed willing to do so: "We get along very well!"

Shulka hugged his parents again, then turned and left with the troops.

When leaving, Shulka vaguely heard Valrasha explaining to her parents: "He is a soldier, the motherland needs him..."

"We know, Comrade Major!"

Yes, this is the time when the German army is attacking Moscow in an all-round way. Moscow is in a critical period, and no one can have a holiday, especially Shulka is still a company commander and a "breakout hero"!

Shulka felt a little heavy in his heart. It is really good to have a family, but the feeling of parting is not good... Shulka never thought that he would feel this way. He thought he would be a stranger in front of his parents. Feeling even embarrassed.

But the truth is otherwise.

Maybe it's because of the pressure of war, or maybe it's because blood is thicker than water, or maybe it's the instinct of my own body.

Shulka didn't know what was going on, but none of this seemed to matter, the important thing was to know that they were all right.

After climbing into the car that came to pick them up, Shulka calmed down a bit.

"Are you okay, auntie and uncle?" the actor asked.

"Yes!" Shulka replied.

Remembering that the actor was from his hometown, he asked, "Where's your family, Comrade Okunev?"

The actor was taken aback, and then replied with some concern: "I asked Aunt Tasia, and they haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Shulka knew this. The Soviet army's organization of the people who built the fortifications was very chaotic. They always needed people to nod their heads with their hands and then took them away in cars.

Therefore, at the beginning, the people were still based on villages, towns or regions, but they were quickly torn apart.

"Don't worry, Okunev!" Shulka said. "They'll be fine!"

The actor nodded, showing some helplessness on his face.

It can be seen that the actors wanted to go to them or ask about their situation, but the war prevented them from leaving.

Perhaps because the conversation between the two affected other people, Shulka found that the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit different, and all the soldiers lowered their heads and thought about their own thoughts.

The actor silently took out the old newspaper, crumpled it and skillfully wrapped it in shredded tobacco...

Shulka found that he seemed to be a very lucky man. At least he knew that his parents were in Moscow and safe.

The 32nd Army and the 4th Tank Brigade withdrew from Twile smoothly.

According to Major Gavrilov, several bridges were blown up before they left in order to stop the German pursuit.

But Shulka got an unexpected piece of news.

"Colonel Katukov is overwhelmed!" said Major Gavrilov.

"What?" Shulka couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

"No, no, that's not what it means!" Major Gavrilov laughed: "It's a kidney disease! Comrade Katukov has a serious kidney disease... In fact, he insisted on commanding all the time, and when he learned that the battle was won, he finally held on. I couldn't help but fainted, and I'm currently being treated in the hospital!"

Hearing this, Shulka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

You must know that Katukov is the one who hit Berlin, and he will become the marshal of the armored forces in the future.

Katukov also has some knowledge about Shulka, who has severe kidney disease. He should have a kidney removed in this operation, and he will be "a commander on the battlefield with a kidney" in the future.

The 4th Tank Brigade was secretly assigned to an underground barracks near the train station. They even circled outside the city and entered another barracks before returning.

This is for secrecy.

Because it is said that there are many German spies lurking even in Moscow at this time, and they monitor the movements of the Soviet army day and night.

Shulka believed that quite a few of these spies were Soviets, and that German intelligence agencies knew how to use guerrillas and prisoners... As I said before, the prisoners had a handle in the hands of the German army and had to inquire about information for the German army.

And these prisoners who were released were even still in the army, and no one even knew that they had been captured before.

Therefore, secrecy has become a necessary means, especially the fourth tank brigade as a mobile force... If their whereabouts are known by the enemy, they are likely to be bombed by the Luftwaffe.

With the number of tanks in the fourth tank brigade at this time, it only needs to be bombed once, and I am afraid that it will lose its combat effectiveness.
