BXBX NOVEL Chapter 280: family
********
Shuerka likes this feeling, likes the feeling that someone is waiting for him at the station to greet him 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 Walrasha, two middle-aged people appeared in front of Shulka.
Shuerka almost couldn't recognize them, but when the middle-aged woman called Shurka while crying, Shurka remembered that she had seen them once.
That was in Volokolamsk, they were building trenches, the difference is that they were covered in mud and now they were wearing clean clothes.
Yes, they are Shulka's parents.
Shuerka cast doubtful eyes on Valrasha.
Varrasha 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 hurriedly 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 his parents were really scared at the 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 .
Father even secretly pulled Shuerka aside, and gave a thumbs up: "I said Shuerka, he has a good vision, much better than your father!"
Then he laughed.
"Comrade Lieutenant!" At this moment Pukarev called in Shulka's direction.
"I should go!" Shulka said, 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 around and left with the troops.
When leaving, Shulka faintly 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 fully attacking Moscow, Moscow is in a critical period, no one can have a holiday, especially Shulka is still a company commander, 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 feel strange in front of his parents Even embarrassing.
But the truth is otherwise.
Maybe it was because of the pressure of war, or maybe it was because blood was thicker than water, or maybe it was the instinct of my own body.
Shulka doesn't know what's going on, but none of this seems to matter, the important thing is to know that they are 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 for a moment, and then replied with some concern: "I asked Aunt Tasia, and they haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Shuerka 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.
So, the people started out as villages, towns or regions, but they were soon 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 really want to go to them or ask about their situation, but the war prevents them from leaving.
Perhaps because the conversation between the two affected other people, Shulka noticed 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 person. At least he knew that his parents were in Moscow and they were 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 prevent the German pursuit.
But Shulka got an unexpected news.
"Colonel Katukov can't hold on!" 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 kidney disease! Comrade Katukov has a serious kidney disease... In fact, he has been insisting on commanding, and when he learned that the battle was won, he finally couldn't hold on. Passed out and is 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 knows 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 the underground barracks near the train station. They even circled outside the city and entered another barracks before returning.
This is for confidentiality.
Because it is said that there are many German spies lurking even in Moscow at this time, and they are constantly monitoring the movements of the Soviet army day and night.
Shuerka believes that a considerable number of these spies are Soviets, and German intelligence agencies know how to use guerrillas and prisoners... As I said before, the prisoners have a handle in the hands of the German army and have to scout for the German army.
And these captives that were released were still in the army, and no one even knew that they had been captured.
Therefore, secrecy has become a necessary means, especially the 4th 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 4th Tank Brigade at this time, it only needs to be bombed once, and I am afraid that it will lose its combat effectiveness.
