Two German soldiers holding rifles with bayonets inserted into the muzzle walked up to the second floor to inspect each room.

A Soviet officer pulled out the pistol from his pocket, gritted his teeth and his expression was twisted, and he was ready to fight the German army that rushed in.

The general reached out and pressed his weapon, then shook his head at him, signaling him to hide the weapon in the right place.

The two German soldiers finally walked to the door of the room where Khrushchev was and stood at the door watching several people eating around a table.

Then, a German army carried the weapon in his hand, walked into the room, stood behind Khrushchev, and bent down.

Khrushchev was already scared and pale, but the German army didn't even look at him. He reached out and picked up a dark bread on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

The German army did not allow the masses to take one needle and one thread. After entering the house, they would eat the owner's food. In the eyes of grassroots soldiers, it was actually not a big deal.

After stuffing the food into his mouth, the two German soldiers left the door and walked towards the next room.

The order to search Khrushchev has not been passed to every unit, so this time they came, they did not deliberately search, and it was naturally not so careful.

When the two German soldiers walked out of the house, the Soviet army and Khrushchev themselves were greatly relieved.

Maybe this was the closest he had to the German soldiers. Moreover, the shaky bayonet was right beside him just now, and it looked chilling.

"We will leave here immediately. When they interrogate the prisoners, we will probably know our location. As long as the martial law is on, we will not be able to leave." The experienced Soviet general said.

His words made Khrushchev very nervous. He nodded quickly and said, "Let's go, wait until the German troops outside leave, we will leave."

Obviously, it was impossible for these German troops to rest to leave immediately, and it was impossible for these German troops to watch several men walking past them with suspicious signs.

There were many women and children in the room, so Khrushchev and others were given some cover. If a few men were suddenly seen on the street, the German soldiers would not let them go easily.

"It's too late, we jump out of the window behind the building! If we don't act immediately, it will be very easy for the Germans to catch us once the martial law is on the rise," said the general.

The guard battalions that protected them could not be killed in battle. The German army would definitely capture some prisoners. As long as these prisoners were interrogated, everything would be obvious.

As long as it was proved that Khrushchev and others were nearby, the German army could easily control several blocks, and then search for the hidden senior Soviet commander bit by bit.

If the other party looks for it seriously, they will not be able to escape, not to mention that if they don’t leave here immediately, the German army will announce the news of Khrushchev’s absconding.

At that time, even if Khrushchev was lucky enough to die, he would be recorded by Stalin and become a traitor of the Soviet Union and become a sinner...

In order to avoid this situation, they must leave here immediately and find a defensive area where the Soviet army is stationed, and show their identity to continue fighting!

"Okay!" After thinking about this, Khrushchev finally became reasonable.

Although he was unwilling to take the risk of leaving, the fear brought by the surrounding German troops forced him to obey other people's advice and leave here immediately.

Several people grabbed some food and stuffed it into their pockets, then walked to the first floor, chose a window, and under the gaze of several old women, they climbed out of the wall.

...

"Khrushchev's command has been captured, why didn't he catch him?" Manstein put down the documents in his hand and frowned and asked the officer who came to report.

The original plan was that after taking over the Kremlin, the battle in Moscow would almost end.

But who would know that Konev and a group of people hid in the defensive bunker near Hexin Island, continued to command the battle, and persisted until now, never surrendered.

Although the Soviet army in the north was almost completely cleaned up, it was the credit of the Northern Army Group and had nothing to do with Manstein.

The problem now is that he could have caught Khrushchev, but the damn left-behind political commissar also ran away at the last moment!

Are these Soviet senior officials born in the United States? Stalin fled before Moscow was surrounded, and Khrushchev also ran away at the last moment!

"Don't they dare to fight like a man in a dignified manner and die in the position they deserve to die?" Manstein, a little angry, muttered to himself.

"We are looking for Khrushchev's whereabouts. The most reliable information is that the direction he fled was in northern Moscow!" said the officer who came to report.

Nodding, Manstein looked at the map that was hung in Khrushchev's office on the table, which was placed on the table, and ordered: "Send this map to the Supreme Commander! Leave it to the head of state!"

"Northern..." After saying that, he stood up, walked to the front of the map hanging in his office with his hands behind his back, and muttering to himself in a low voice.

When his eyes fell on the Soviet army's defending areas that were about to disappear in the north, he seemed to have thought of something.

Khrushchev could not get through these Soviet defense circles that were about to be wiped out.

Even if you can reach it, you will not be able to cross the German thick encirclement and join with the Soviet stubborn forces inside.

In this way, the possibility of Khrushchev continuing to flee north became very small. His most likely choice was to turn around and go south immediately!

That's right. In this way, the confessions of Soviet prisoners can be used to mislead the German arresting troops, making the German army mistakenly believe that Khrushchev has been fleeing north.

But he had actually disguised himself as he ran south, which could get rid of most of the search troops.

As for how to join the Soviet army in the Hexin Island defense circle, it is easier to say - as long as they can touch the Moscow River, crossing the river is easier than crossing the Germans' tight defense lines.

"He probably won't be able to go north! Now he should have changed into civilian clothes, avoided our front-line combat soldiers, and turned to fled south!" Manstein, who guessed something, said confidently.
