After finishing dealing with the troop affairs at hand that had just finished the battle, Malashenko, who couldn't wait any longer, immediately turned his head and ran quickly towards Vatutin. Now Malashenko was really worried that Vatutin had something to do with him.
No matter what, even a minor injury from being shot is nothing.
You must know that Vatutin in the existing history was a wound infection caused by a life-threatening trauma after being shot. In the end, the most critical period of treatment and rescue was delayed, and he died due to complications from the infection.
Malashenko could not guarantee whether the wheels of fate would be strikingly similar, and perhaps there was a possibility that Vatutin would definitely die after suffering a gunshot wound, as it was destined.
Although it sounds a little weird and impossible, but since such ridiculous things have happened to him, Malashenko really can't guarantee that there won't be any ridiculous things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
It happened to Vatutin. After all, time travel has already happened, what else is absolutely impossible? The answer is of course no.
"Comrade Commander! Comrade Commander!!!"
As the saying goes, you hear someone before you see them. Before Vatutin saw the familiar face of Malashenko behind the car, the familiar voice of shouting running towards him had already been heard.
into the ears.
"It's General Malashenko, Comrade Commander, he's coming to meet us!"
After a fierce ambush battle, the adjutant, who had been beaten to pieces and covered in gunpowder smoke and dust, spoke first. Next to him, Vatutin, who was also in embarrassment, inserted the gun in his hand back into the holster on his waist.
, took a few breaths and then nodded slightly.
"It's really thanks to him. If Malashenko hadn't arrived in time with his people, we might have turned into corpses lying on the ground."
Even in front of his subordinates, Vatutin did not hide his praise of Malashenko and blurted it out on the spot.
The adjutant on the side who had the same feeling immediately nodded in agreement. Even he did not expect that Malashenko could bring people to the rescue so quickly. It was like...like he knew in advance.
It is the same as knowing that Comrade Commander will be in danger, and then making preparations and setting off in advance to come.
"Let's go and thank our hero. It seems that he is more anxious than us."
What Vatutin said was right. Malashenko was indeed in a hurry. He rushed to the rescue like an ant on a hot pot, and now he hurriedly ran over to see with his own eyes and confirm that Vatutin
Was Jing injured?
"Comrade Commander, are you okay? Are you injured? I'm really sorry that I brought people here late!"
Before Vatutin could say anything when he met his opponent, Malashenko took the initiative to ask about the situation, and by the way, he took all the responsibility on himself. This really made Vatutin feel safe.
A little dumbfounded, he shook his head.
"No, you didn't come late, Malashenko. On the contrary, you came very timely. Just now I was telling Olyosha that if you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid all of us would have been lying in bed by now.
There are corpses on the ground.”
"As for me, it's fine. I haven't suffered any skin injuries at all. It's just that I've been at the headquarters for a long time, and all the bones in my body are a little stiff. Suddenly fighting such a fierce hand-to-hand battle, my waist and legs are a little uncomfortable.
It feels good, haha!”
Not only was Vatutin okay, he was still joking and laughing. It really made Comrade Ma feel so ashamed that our heart was in our throats.
"As long as it's okay, if something happens to you, I really don't know what to do, Comrade Commander."
I really couldn't think of what to say in response to Vatutin's laughter. Malashenko, who looked ashamed, could only use such words that were not nutritious but could be regarded as normal.
Fortunately, Vatutin actually had questions to ask Malashenko, so the conversation could continue without being embarrassed and speechless.
"Speaking of which, Malashenko, how did you... Well, let me put it another way, it's more appropriate. How did you know that I was in danger? The battles you were responsible for should have ended, and you were still sending telegrams
They told me that your division's equipment has suffered a lot of damage and needs rest and maintenance. If that's the case, shouldn't your division be resting where it is now? Why did you bring your people here?"
Malashenko had already expected that Vatutin would most likely ask such a question. After all, everyone would feel a little confused when someone unexpectedly saves their life. It is normal to ask the reason and find out the situation.
What's more, as the commander of the front army, Vatutin also has the right to know the mobilization of the troops.
"It's like this, Comrade Commander. The liaison officer sent to our division by the Front Army Headquarters is the one who just came to our division with documents to convey the news. He accidentally said that you went to inspect the front line. I looked at the map
I found that the place you went to inspect was still a war zone, and you only brought a few guards with you."
"I have a hunch that there is a high probability that you will be in danger. If the Germans or other forces suddenly attack, it will be difficult to have countermeasures to stop it. So even if my trip is in vain, just treat it as a training exercise for the troops.
It is enough to at least ensure your safety. This is the reason and process. Fortunately, there are still some tanks in our division that can move, and not all of them have reached their limit."
It was impossible for Malashenko to tell Vatutin bluntly, "Oh, my friend has traveled from the future. I know that you, a commander with a lot of provocations, died of prostitution when the battle in Cherkasy was over.
And he died at the gunpoint of bandits, not the gunpoint of a German. He was the most aggrieved Red Army general to die in the entire Patriotic War."
Based on this principle, Malashenko had to make up a suitable reason, which was a lie, to fool Vatutin in front of him.
Malashenko himself felt that this reason was quite appropriate and perfect. Anyway, he couldn't find any obvious flaws after listening to it. As for whether he could fool Vatutin, it all depends on his face.
"So that's it... I've been wondering what caused you to suddenly bring people here. It seems that your battlefield intuition has always been very keen, and you can even guess this kind of thing correctly. It is necessary to let
You can share your experience and experience so that everyone can learn from it. It is best for more Red Army commanders and fighters to have battlefield intuition and keen insight like you."
"..."
Malashenko didn't expect that Vatutin would accept the reasons he gave so easily. This... seemed a bit too much? Something was wrong or something?
Malashenko himself couldn't tell, but since Vatutin didn't go into details, why should he continue to nag about this matter to make trouble for himself?
