After the meeting, Balzen naturally slept until noon. Before going to sleep, he had already conveyed the commander's order, after which the officers and men of the battalion also began to prepare for the battle.

Everyone began to prepare for battle, they checked their backpacks, their blankets, and especially their weapons, and began the final and most critical check.

After lunch, the awakened Balzen was in his camp, and after mobilizing all the officers and men, he held an internal mobilization meeting.

After all, Balzen was the commander of the special mixed regiment, and in order to ensure his prestige in the various units, he first ensured the prestige of his own troops, and then communicated with the battalion commanders who were under his command.

However, the internal mobilization meeting had just ended, and the fighters had just been disbanded, when a group of uninvited guests suddenly came to visit!

Natasha went back early, not only conveying the commander's orders, but also selecting the soldiers to participate in the battle before lunch. She boasted that all the elite of the Junior Battalion were selected, and because this special unit was ordered to be managed by Balzen, she personally led the soldiers of the whole suit to visit Balzen's camp in person.

There were four girls in this group of children, including Natasha, a total of eleven people, and their childish faces, small stature, and their huge bags made it difficult not to worry about them.

There is only one strong man in the whole team, and that is Igor. This sturdy warrior was not the guardian of the children, he was like Natasha's "nanny", and the image of him holding the barrel of the anti-tank gun on his shoulder alone was really shocking.

It was like a big bear leading a group of small bears, and they swaggered to Balzen's barracks, which instantly attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion.

A soldier broke into Balzen's dormitory and said with a look of surprise: "Report to the battalion commander!" Someone's coming! It's Spiroskina! ”

"She? What is she doing here?! ”

Balzen hurried out of the house, and saw more than just this girl, and beside her stood a large group of young soldiers in neat military uniforms!

Undoubtedly, among these little warriors, only Natasha was the most glamorous, with her beautiful blond hair, impressive figure, and the appearance of her carrying a semi-automatic rifle and a bag, which Balzen admired. However, the ones standing next to her were incomprehensible.

Before Balzen could speak first, the girl had already shouted the trumpet.

"The whole team has it! Attention! ”

Then, in full view of the onlookers of the reconnaissance battalion, Natasha walked in front of Balzen.

"Report to Comrade Battalion Commander! Our whole team is under your command under the orders of the commander and participates in the next operation. Please instruct! ”

Balzen was still confused, and he scratched his head and asked, "Is this the commander's order?" It's an honor for you and Igor to be commanded by me, what about the others? This group of kids? Are they all under my command? ”

"Yes!"

"Hell! It's really Tai Chi! ”

To be honest, Balzen really didn't want to fight with this group of kids. In the battle at the end of March, if he had been given command again, he would no longer have recklessly charged at the enemy's positions! In that battle, the children of the junior battalion showed bravery that was not inferior to or even surpassed that of regular soldiers, but the price of bravery was a large number of casualties. To this end, he also wrote a special examination self-examination.

Balzen drooped down his old face and muttered, "Anyway, I really don't want to take the people of the Junior Battalion to fight!" I don't want any of you kids to slip up. ”

Natasha retorted on the spot: "No! The fighters I brought are all elites and have a high degree of ideological awareness, and we will not disgrace the reconnaissance battalion. ”

"If it's all fighters like you, I'm satisfied!" Balzen shook his head and raised his voice: "Children! I think you'd better go back! Fighting a war is not a joke, you are all children, it is the future of the country, the battlefield is still for us uncles to go, you just stay in the village! ”

Balzen's words struck a chord with many onlookers, who talked about it, and the words reached the ears of the children and even Natasha. What are the "children should not go to war", "the country has not fallen to the point where children are needed to defend it", and so on.

Natasha's expression didn't change in the slightest, and she repeated the commander's order, which Balzen had to accept.

"Alright! All right! I'm okay with just your eleven soldiers, but if the whole youth battalion goes into battle, I can't afford it. I hope that this time, your so-called elite can be like you, and you will be able to do it yourself. ”

Natasha's reporting was somewhat bad, mainly because her subordinates were not unanimously approved by the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion. Obviously, everyone has shown great courage in the past battles, but now this courage is not appropriate?

The children did not speak at that time, and everyone naturally thought that this was ageism among adults, but it deeply stimulated everyone's will to fight.

Natasha led the whole team back to the station, and in any case, the commander gave the order, and only the commander himself could terminate their mission.

Balzen didn't know that the military order was like a mountain, and now he could only accept the fact that there was a group of children in the army.

The army should be all men, that's Balzen's inherent understanding. He knew his men too well, and the soldiers who lacked the care of women during the war years were like a bunch of arrogant stallions. It's better not to have a woman in the army, even if it's a girl like Natasha, fighting alongside her, this group of straight-eyed warriors can't help but become reckless, and they must show their bravery in front of women.

In March, the presence of the young girls in the youth battalion was like a stimulant, stimulating the combat effectiveness of all officers and soldiers.

Moreover, individual soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion had done dirty things in Slavtish, and even if the offending soldier was executed, it would be difficult for Balzen not to reassess his soldiers. This group of soldiers has reached the point where he trembles at the sight of a woman, and now that there are a few more female soldiers in the team, he is not worried that someone will be rude to the female soldiers, at least the soldiers can't help but gather around the female soldiers, even if it is still a group of children!

Balzen was really embarrassed to say anything to Natasha about this situation, and he could only give another lesson to the officers and soldiers of the battalion after Natasha left, a lesson on discipline.

He shouted embarrassedly: "Some of the soldiers of the junior battalion have become our comrades-in-arms, this is the order of the commander himself!" I know there are some young female soldiers among them, and you guys are excited when they see them now. In terms of age, you are their elder brother and father. You must not doubt the combat ability of these children, let alone go too far. All must be disciplined, otherwise, I will enforce battlefield discipline. ”

Hearing these words, the first thing that the vast number of officers and men thought of was the incident that happened in the city of Slavtish, which was a shame for all the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers are really taboo to be in the company of female soldiers, but one by one they crave the care of women, even if it is a smile. They really envy the 3rd Regiment of the 284th Division, that strange infantry regiment is not an elite unit, but it is the only unit with a mixed mix of men and women. The male soldiers there must be very happy.

Some of the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion were looking forward to fighting alongside this group of children, and some of them were veterans who even realized that there were some familiar faces among the children.

Some officers and soldiers were very prejudiced, and their complaints were very straightforward: "I think the commander really takes it for granted!" Not all children are like Natasha, others are too immature, even boys, at least until they are eighteen years old before they become soldiers. What other girls, they still don't want to be soldiers, they are not men after all. ”

This is some cliché prejudice, and Balzen did not want to talk about anything with his soldiers at all, so he simply gave the order to disband. After that, he went straight into his dormitory and wiped down his submachine gun.

"Natasha, Nina, Shura, and those two girls." Balzen muttered as he wiped his gun, and his mind couldn't help but go back to March.

In addition to Natasha and the commander's wife, there are at least two girls who impress him. After that battle, the boys' battalion had no share in the battle after the losses were too great, but the female soldiers Nina and Shura, whose names are reminiscent of Balzen, were awarded the Order of the Red Banner because they killed more than a dozen enemies.

As for the condition of the others, Balzen does not know.

"Alright! All right! Natasha, since you are choosing soldiers on the orders of the commander, don't disgrace me with the people you choose, and don't hurt any of them. I can't afford it! ”
