As the order was given, the defenders of several cities near Sushinich took active action. In the shortest possible time, they assembled the required materials and delivered them by truck to both sides www.biquge.info of the road where the refugees were about to pass, setting up a sufficient number of supply and heating points.

After walking for more than ten hours, the people who had fled from Sushinich were tired and hungry when they suddenly noticed that a tent had appeared in the open space on the side of the road in front of them, and there was a faint smell of fragrance. But all this did not attract enough attention from them, everyone thought that this was a special supply point for the army, and in order not to cause trouble, they also deliberately accelerated their pace, wanting to pass through here as soon as possible.

Who knew that as soon as they reached the tent, several soldiers stopped their way and shouted at them: "Comrades, you are all tired, stop and rest for a while, go to the tent to get warm, eat something before leaving." ”

After the soldiers finished shouting, the refugees did not react, just looked at each other numbly, as if the soldiers were not talking to themselves. The sergeant who led the team saw that the refugees standing on the road were standing in the distance and did not move, thinking that everyone had not heard, raised his voice and shouted again.

This time, an old lady in a headscarf walked up to him tremblingly and asked tentatively, "Comrade soldier, are you talking to us?" ”

"That's right, old lady." The sergeant was afraid that the old lady would be deaf in her old age, so he deliberately raised his voice and said to her: "We have set up a supply point and a heating place here for you according to the orders of our superiors. Let's go, go in and have a bite to eat, bake the fire for a while and then move on. ”

He was worried that the old lady would not believe his words, and when he had finished speaking, he pulled her towards the tent. The old lady followed the sergeant to an open tent, and saw a large wooden table with two large ceramic vats on it, steaming hot, and a bamboo basket full of slices of bread beside it.

Seeing the old lady coming over with the help of the sergeant, a cook wearing a white apron bent down and picked up a small ceramic basin from under the table, scooped a spoonful of hot soup into the basin, handed it to the old lady, and said: "After you finish drinking the soup, don't take the basin away, otherwise the people who come behind will have no way to drink the soup." ”

The sergeant took out two slices of bread from the bamboo basket, stuffed them into the old lady's hand, pointed to a large tent not far away, and said to her, "Auntie, that is the heating place, you can go inside and eat." ”

When the old lady walked away, the sergeant turned around and raised his voice to face the refugees who were still standing on the road, and shouted: "Hey, comrades, what are you still in a daze, hurry up and eat!" ”

The scene where the sergeant took the old lady to get the hot soup and bread was seen by many people, but everyone could not believe that it was true. It wasn't until the sergeant shouted at them a few more times that the men confirmed that it wasn't their hallucination, but something real. So everyone rushed up to the tent where the hot soup and bread were distributed and lined up.

While the refugees were receiving food and heating at the newly established supply points, the German bombers had finished their bombing of Sushinich and returned triumphantly.

Because the enemy planes flew at an altitude that far exceeded the range of the anti-aircraft machine gun battery, Oshanina and her men could only watch as the enemy flew over their heads and towards the west.

Shortly after the departure of the enemy aircraft, one of the fighters ran out of a tent in the forest and shouted as he ran: "Comrade lieutenant, your call is from General Chernyshov. ”

Oshanina trotted to the tent, picked up the telephone placed on the small wooden table, and said politely: "Hello, Comrade General, I am Lieutenant Oshanina, what instructions do you have?" ”

"Comrade Lieutenant, explain to me, what the hell is going on?" Chernyshov said angrily on the phone: "Why did the enemy bombers pass by your defense zone twice, and you did not open fire." ”

When she heard Chernyshov's anger, Oshanina was still furious in her heart, thinking that something was wrong, and she figured out that the other party was furious because she did not fire at the enemy plane, and her heart suddenly became much more steady, and she explained into the microphone: "Comrade General, please listen to my explanation, anti-aircraft machine guns can only hit the enemy's low-altitude targets within two thousand meters, and the German bombers passing over our air defense positions have exceeded this height, and even if we fire, it will be a waste of bullets." ”

Rokossovsky, who was in Chernyshov's command at the moment, heard Oshanina's reply, bowed his head slightly, and said to Chernyshov: "Since the enemy exceeds the effective range of the anti-aircraft machine guns, even firing will have no effect, but will expose our air defense positions. She did so, and she was absolutely right. ”

After Rokossovsky had already expressed his position on the matter, Chernyshov could not dwell on this matter anymore, so he had to say vaguely: "Well, since this is the case, forget about the matter this time." In the future, when enemy planes re-enter your air defense zone, you must find ways to shoot them down. ”

After waiting for Chernyshov to finish the call, Rokossovsky said to him: "Comrade General, I came to your division this time to award medals to several soldiers. ”

Hearing that the commander was going to award medals to his soldiers, Chernysov's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Comrade commander, I don't know who you plan to award medals." ”

"It was the soldiers from China," Rokossovsky said to Chernyshov, "and they did a good job in this reconnaissance mission, not only to be the first to report to us the enemy's escape, but also to take the city without bloodshed." At the same time, they also got into the situation where the enemy managed to manage on our pursuit route, so that the troops avoided even greater losses. ”

"Chief of Staff," Cherneshov waited for Rokossovsky to finish speaking, and then shouted to the division chief of staff who was busy next to him, "Come to me." ”

"Comrade division commander," the chief of staff of the division hurriedly put down his work, quickly came to Rokossovsky and Chernyshov and stood still, and asked politely: "What instructions do you have!" ”

"Get me a jug of wine." Chernyshov ordered.

"Looking for wine?!" When the chief of staff heard this order, he couldn't help but look at Chernyshov with wide eyes, and said in a low voice: "Comrade division commander, we may start a battle with the enemy's ground forces at any time, and it is not appropriate to drink now, right?" ”

"Chief of Staff, you're mistaken." Chernyshov waved his hand at the chief of staff and said with a smile: "Comrade Commander intends to award medals to several fighters in the division, according to the tradition of the Russian army, medals must be soaked in wine to be auspicious." ”

"Understood, Comrade Division Commander. Please wait a moment while I'll go get you a drink. After the chief of staff finished speaking, he quickly ran out of the command headquarters and helped Chernyshov find wine.

Rokossovsky was not very familiar with such a tradition, but in this case, it was difficult to ask Chernesov, so he could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and continue to remain silent without saying a word.

Not long after the chief of staff went out, he ran back with a military kettle, handed it to Chernyshov, and said excitedly: "Comrade division commander, this is the wine you wanted." ”

Ten minutes later, Rokossovsky and Chernyshov appeared on the position where Zhu Zhendong and their platoon were. In the dimly lit shelter department, Zhu Zhendong, Li Muzi, Tang Sanshui, and Chen Xiaopu stood in a row, facing the two generals standing in front of them.

Rokossovsky glanced at Cherneshov, who immediately stepped forward and said loudly to the four with a solemn expression: "Comrades, in recognition of your bravery and heroism in the performance of combat missions, you are hereby awarded the Military Merit Medal to three of you. ”

Hearing that it was a military medal rather than a medal, Zhu Zhendong couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed in his heart. He saw the division commander Chernyshov take four military medals from the commander's hand, throw them into a ceramic tea jar, then take a kettle, unscrew the lid and pour water on you.

But soon, Lao Zhu found out that instead of water, Chernyshov poured vodka into the cup. His eyes widened and he looked at the division commander who was pouring wine in surprise.

Chernyshov noticed the strange expressions of the four fighters in front of him, and quickly explained to them with a smile: "This is the tradition of the Russian army, and soaking the medal in wine means that this is not the last one, and there will be many more in the future." After speaking, he handed the cup to Lao Zhu and motioned for him to drink it.

Lao Zhu took the wine glass and took a big sip, turned around and handed it to Li Muzi next to him, and after Muzi drank it, he handed it to Tang Sanshui. By the time the glass spun around and returned to Chernyshov's hand, the vodka in the glass had been completely drunk. Chernyshov stretched out his hand and fished out the military merit medal, and with the cooperation of one of his subordinates, he put the military merit medal on the four anti-United Nations fighters one by one.

When all this was done, Chernyshov took two steps back, stood with Rokossovsky, and carefully looked at the four fighters in front of him. But after waiting for a while, he found that the four warriors were still standing still like wood, and he couldn't help frowning, and asked sharply: "Why don't you speak, don't you know what to say after receiving the medal?" ”

"Serve the Soviets!" Zhu Zhendong hurriedly said loudly.

"That's right, that's what I should say." After complimenting Lao Zhu, Chernyshov turned his attention to the other three fighters.

The three of them immediately exclaimed, "Serve the Soviets!" ”

Rokossovsky stepped forward, looked at the four of them carefully, and said with a kind smile: "Comrades from China, I want to say that you are all good!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with the four people one by one.

The simple ceremony of awarding the medal was not completely over, when suddenly the sound of machine gun fire was heard outside. Zhu Zhendong reacted the fastest, and he rushed to the wall with a brisk stride, grabbing the rifle he was leaning on the gun rack. Then Li Muzi, Tang Sanshui, and Chen Xiaopaw also rushed over, grabbing their rifles one after another, ready to rush out at any time.

"Wait a minute," Rokossovsky listened to the fierce gunfire outside, frowned, and said, "It seems that an anti-aircraft machine gun is ringing, General Chernyshov, let's go out and see what is going on." ”

After the two men came to the trench outside, they stood up straight and looked in the direction where the gunfire came from, and saw that not far behind the position, there was the anti-aircraft position of the anti-aircraft machine gun company, and the three machine guns in the center of the triangle were firing into the air.

Rokossovsky looked up into the sky and saw an enemy plane hovering in the sky, trying to dodge machine-gun bullets from the ground.

"It's an enemy reconnaissance plane." Chernyshov also saw the aircraft hovering in the air, and said to Rokossovsky in some anxiety: "The altitude of the enemy plane is too high, and I am worried that the anti-aircraft machine gun company will waste bullets if it shoots like this." ”

When the enemy planes saw that the anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground could not help themselves, they became more and more arrogant. It could have flown away directly, but it just refused to leave, hovering above the air defense positions and teasing the air defense forces on the ground.

Rokossovsky looked intently in the direction of the anti-aircraft machine gun position, and saw Oshanina holding a signal flag, standing next to the anti-aircraft machine gun and directing. He soon noticed a strange phenomenon, although the six machine guns around him were also constantly adjusting their angles, they never fired, as if waiting for something.

Seeing this scene, he said to Chernyshov next to him: "Comrade General, let's stay here and watch a good show." If the enemy planes do not fly away, I believe that they will soon be shot down by our fighters. ”

"But, Comrade Commander." Chernyshov did not notice anything unusual in the air defense position, but pointed to the air and said: "You see, how many bullets are fired from our anti-aircraft machine guns, but they are not even next to the enemy planes." I don't think it will be long before the enemy planes will be on the run. ”
