The snow fell heavily overnight and did not stop until dawn.
Rokossovsky stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, only to see a blank white patch everywhere, covered with snow, and only the faint outlines of the cars parked on the side of the road remained.
Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart, how could he get to the airport with such thick snow on the road? Thinking of the several female pilots he had met last night, he was worried that they would be in danger as they were in a hurry to take off and return to the front line, so he went to the office of the hotel manager and made a call to the airport duty room. After identifying himself, he specifically told the other party: "Before I arrive at the airport, you can't let those female pilots take off." Do you understand? ”
"Comrade General," the other party said to Rokossovsky with a wry smile after listening to his words: "Even if they want to fly, they can't do it, the runway of the airport is already covered with snow, and we are organizing people to clear the snow." ”
Hearing that the female pilots had not yet taken off, Rokossovsky's heart was hanging on the ground, but he still made a special point of emphasis: "Comrade on duty, please remember that you must not let them take off until I get to the airport." ”
Seeing Rokossovsky put down the phone, the manager hurriedly and respectfully asked: "Comrade General, are you in a hurry to go to the airport?" ”
"That's right, I need to get to the airport immediately and return to the front by plane." Rokossovsky looked at the snow outside the window, sighed and said, "But the snow is so deep that the car can't move." ”
"Comrade General, please rest assured." The manager patted his chest and assured Rokossovsky: "I will immediately organize people to help you clear the snow." In a maximum of an hour, you will be able to reach the airport. With that, the manager got up and walked outside, arranging for someone to clear the snow.
Rokossovsky went to the courtyard in front of the hotel and saw his driver and guards shoveling snow with wooden shovels, preparing to dig the snow-covered car out of the snowdrift.
Seeing Rokossovsky coming out of the building, the two quickly stopped what they were doing. The guard raised his hand and saluted and asked, "Comrade Commander, are we still going to the airport today?" ”
"Yes, we have to fly back to the front line today." After Rokossovsky said this, he saw that the driver and the guard were both sweating profusely, and hurriedly asked: "Is there still a wooden shovel?" The three of us did it together, and it was faster. ”
The manager of the inn, a man of considerable ability, went to the nearby district Soviet and contacted the staff and asked them to organize citizens to shovel snow on the road in front of the hotel. At first, the staff was a little reluctant, but when he heard that it was a particularly important general who was going to rush to the airport to return to the front line by plane, he immediately made several phone calls and asked the relevant departments to organize people to shovel snow.
With the help of hundreds of citizens and two snowplows, Rokossovsky finally arrived at the airport without any problems, nearly three hours after the time of his phone call. Due to his ban, the female pilots, led by Rokova, could not take off and could only wait on the runway, waiting for Rokossovsky's arrival.
Seeing Rokossovsky's car appear on the airport runway, Rokokova hurriedly greeted him. As soon as the car stopped, she stepped forward and pulled the car door, and asked a little anxiously: "Comrade commander, I don't know when we can take off back to the front line?" ”
Rokossovsky got out of the car, stretched out his hand and shook Rokova, comforted him: "Comrade Major, don't be in a hurry, please wait a while, we will take off right away." ”
Although she knew that it was her boss standing in front of her, Roskova still muttered: "Originally, according to the plan, we were supposed to return to the front-line airfield last night, but it has been delayed until now." I don't know how many combat missions have been delayed. ”
"Don't worry, Comrade Major." Rokossovsky smiled and said to Rokoslava: "You have a lot of tasks ahead, don't worry about finding a fight!" ”
Hearing that Rokossovsky was going to arrange a combat mission for herself, Rokoslava couldn't help but smile and hurriedly asked: "Comrade commander, is this all true?" Do you really give us important tasks? ”
Without waiting for Rokossovsky to speak, an officer ran over from the next duty room, saluted Rokossovsky and reported: "Comrade General, the fighter planes escorting your plane are ready to take off at any time. ”
"No need, Comrade Captain." After Rokossovsky saw the other party's rank clearly, he waved his hand at him, "There are three dive bombers returning to the front line with us, and they can escort me, so there is no need to send another fighter." ”
When the officer turned around to arrange the special plane, Rokossovsky continued to say to Rokova: "Comrade Major, let me give you a thorough explanation, in the coming days, the tasks of your women's flight regiment will be extremely heavy, you must be mentally prepared!" ”
"Comrade Commander, can you be more detailed?" Rokossovsky's words aroused Roskova's curiosity, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Can we also bomb the German defensive positions every day, like male pilots, and not just harass the German transport lines?" ”
"The transport lines of the German army have been completely cut off by us." Rokossovsky said with a smile: "Starting tomorrow, you will carry out non-stop bombardment of German positions, not only during the day, but also at night, doing everything possible to destroy the German fortifications and consume their combat units." When the time comes, you two women's flying regiments will have more feats than anyone else. ”
After Rokossovsky's plane took off, Rokokova's plane also took off, followed by Stalingrad.
When the plane landed at the field airfield, the head of the airfield, seeing Roskova getting out of the cabin, immediately walked over and shouted loudly: "I said Major Roskova, what the hell is going on with you?" According to the flight plan, shouldn't you have returned to the airport yesterday evening? Why didn't you come back until now? It's simply disorganized and undisciplined, you just wait to be punished! ”
As soon as the officer finished speaking, Rokossovsky, who came over, asked lightly: "The reason why they did not return to the airport in time yesterday was that I ordered them to stay at the Moscow airport for one night. For us, every pilot is very valuable, and no one has the right to order them to fly in extremely bad weather, risking their lives. Do you understand? ”
The officer clearly saw that the person who spoke to him was actually the commander of the Front, Rokossovsky, and was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, I didn't know it was you, please forgive me......"
"The person you're going to say sorry for isn't me, it's her." Rokossovsky nodded at Rokoslava, who was standing aside, and said, "You can't go over, apologize to her for the attitude you just had." ”
The officer did not dare to disobey Rokossovsky's order, he hurriedly came to Rokokova, blushed and said embarrassedly: "Comrade Major, I'm sorry, just my attitude was bad, please forgive me for my rashness!" ”
