As soon as he entered the forest, Rokossovsky heard a loud singing voice from the depths of the forest, and he quickly slowed down and listened carefully to the song in the language he knew best: "Tieling Rock, overgrown with trees, torrential rain and strong winds, and the sound of war horses on the waterside of the wasteland." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The fire is united, and the sky is full of red. Comrades! Ruizhi is afraid of the late waves of Songjiang.

Get up! Courageously charged, day by day, recovering the northeast, the sky dawned, and the glory surged. ……”

"Comrade Lieutenant," Lobachev, who was walking beside Rokossovsky, heard the singing and asked Tian Shuzi in front of him, "what kind of song are the soldiers singing?" The melody sounds pretty good. ”

Tian Shuzi did not understand Lobachev's words, and continued to look into the forest with his head deep and shallow, while Wang Erzhu, who was parallel to him, turned his head and smiled at Lobachev, and then replied: "Comrade Military Commissar, this song is called "Camping Song", and it was written by a leader of our Anti-Japanese Federation. ”

Entering the glade, Rokossovsky saw that a large area of snow had been cleared, and the soldiers were cutting down trees and building improvised huts. Tian Shuzi and Wang Erzhu ran over briskly and began to give orders to those soldiers. With the command of the two, the soldiers stopped their work one after another, and quickly lined up in five neat rows in the open space.

After the troops were assembled, Tian Shuzi and Wang Erzhu left the team and came to Rokossovsky and Lobachev, raised their hands and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the commander, comrade military commissar, the special company has been assembled, please instruct!" ”

After Rokossovsky raised his hand to return the salute, he walked quickly to the front of the team, looking at the anti-United Nations fighters of different heights but full of energy, he said with some emotion: "Hello comrades, you have worked hard! ”

"Hello Comrade Commander!" The queue replied neatly.

Rokossovsky listened to the stiff Russian coming from the ranks, and understood that many of these anti-United Nations fighters did not understand Russian, and if he made any tirade, they probably wouldn't understand it, so he turned around and asked Tian Shuzi: "Comrade lieutenant, how many people are there in your company, and what is the situation of weapons and equipment?" ”

"Report to Comrade Commander!" After listening to Wang Erzhu's translation, Tian Shuzi reported again: "There are 94 people in our company, except for one Degadailev light machine gun and ten submachine guns, all the rest are equipped with Mosin Lagan rifles. ”

"Is it equipped with communication equipment?" Rokossovsky then asked.

Tian Shuzi shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "No, Comrade Commander." Not only did there be no radio, but there was not even a telephone. ”

After listening to Tian Shuzi's answer, Lobachev asked in surprise: "Then how do you communicate with your superiors and convey the orders of your superiors to the soldiers below?" ”

"Signal Corps." Tian Shuzi hurriedly replied: "Our company reports to the superiors and conveys orders, and they are all done with communication soldiers. ”

"If Khimki is attacked by the Germans," Rokossovsky waited for him to finish speaking, and then asked with a straight face: "And your forces are not enough to hold here, how are you going to ask for help from the headquarters of the army group located dozens of kilometers away?" ”

In response to Rokossovsky's question, Tian Shuzi hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "After the troops arrived here, I went to Khimki and talked with two policemen in the town, and they said that if we needed to contact our superiors about anything, we could call the post and telecommunications office. Since it is now the war phase, all the civilian lines have been requisitioned by the army, and we can get in touch with our superiors through these phone calls. ”

"Nonsense, it's nonsense." As soon as Rokossovsky finished speaking, he immediately said with a sinking face: "You even stay outside the town, if the Germans directly rush into the town and occupy the post and telecommunications office, how can you contact your superiors?" Seeing that Tian Shuzi opened his mouth and wanted to speak, he raised his hand to stop the other party, and then said, "Don't tell me, say that you can send a signal soldier to report the situation to your superiors." Don't say whether your communications troops can reach the higher-level headquarters smoothly, and even if they do, there may be a language barrier between them and the commander. ”

Rokossovsky's words made Tian Shuzi a little overwhelmed, and he scratched the back of his head and said to himself: "Yes, what if the Germans rush into the town and cut off the connection between us and our superiors?" ”

Seeing Tian Shuzi's embarrassed appearance, the expression on Rokossovsky's face softened, and he continued: "Comrade Lieutenant, when I just passed Khimki, I found that many houses in the town were empty. You can lead your troops into Khimki and build a defensive line there to prevent the Germans from storming the town. Do you understand? ”

Tian Shuzi pointed to the half-built shacks in the glade, and asked with some embarrassment: "Comrade commander, what should we do with these shacks?" ”

"Leave these shacks alone." Rokossovsky waved his hand impatiently and said in an unquestionable tone: "Comrade lieutenant, I order you to immediately lead your troops to Khimki and build the necessary defenses there, understand?" ”

"Got it!" Tian Shuzi agreed, then ran back to the front of the queue and shouted at the team: "The soldiers of the fifth platoon stay to pack up the supplies of the camp, and the comrades of the first four platoons will follow me into the town." Listen to my command: Stand up! Turn right~~ Start walking! ”

The energetic anti-union fighters marched in unison and with their heads held high in front of Rokossovsky and Lobachev. Tian Shuzi probably wanted to show himself in front of the two group army leaders, but he suddenly shouted at the soldiers: "Comrades, let's all sing a song." Revolutionary soldiers should keep in mind..., prepare ~~! ”

"Revolutionary soldiers should keep in mind,

We should pay attention to the three major disciplines and eight points.

First, all actions are commanded,

Winning is the only way to be victorious;

Second, don't take a needle and thread from the masses,

The masses support and like me;

Thirdly, all seizures shall be returned to the public,

Striving to lighten the burden on the people,

We must do ...... of the three major disciplines"

Rokossovsky originally thought that the fighters would march with the songs of the Anti-United Nations, but he did not expect them to sing "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions". Listening to this well-known military song, Rokossovsky, who was once a Chinese soldier, almost burst into tears. He hurriedly raised his hand and pinched his sour nose, so as not to be too excited and burst into tears.

Lobachev, who was standing on the sidelines, did not notice Rokossovsky's abnormality, and he couldn't help frowning as he listened to the songs sung by the anti-United Nations fighters. He tilted his head towards Rokossovsky's position and asked with some surprise: "Comrade commander, although I can't understand the lyrics they sang, the melody of this song is clearly "Kaiser Wilhelm's Military Training Song". ”

Rokossovsky quickly sniffed, coughed lightly again, and after his mood stabilized a little, he explained to Lobachev with a smile: "Comrade Military Commissar, you are mistaken, they are Chinese, how can they sing the songs of the Germans, this should be the military song after they rewrote the lyrics!" You see, it's fitting that they use this song to match the neat pace of the troops. ”

"Oh, I see!" Lobachev looked at the back of the team and asked Rokossovsky with some concern: "Comrade commander, there are too few comrades in the special company, there are less than a hundred people in the full battle." If the Germans really launched an attack here, would they be able to hold Khimki with their little strength? ”

"Comrade Military Commissar, although there are a few of them," Rokossovsky, after seeing the mental outlook of the anti-United Nations fighters, immediately answered Lobachev's question without hesitation, "but I believe that they will resolutely hold Khimki no matter what." Yes, I'm sure they'll be able to hold it here. ”
