Looking out through the broken wall of snow, I saw a crowd of people gathering at the broken down truck, and many more were rushing towards it from all directions. I didn't care about the sacrifice of Lena and comforting the grief-stricken female soldier, and shouted to Kirianova, who was standing next to me: "Bring a few people, follow me!" Then he ran to the truck first.

We quickly ran to the truck, because the ice next to the truck was shattered by the strafing of the enemy planes just now, and the black water was spilled onto the ice under the weight of the heavy truck. The bodies of the soldiers who died just now had been moved to a distance of more than ten meters and placed neatly on the side of the road. At this moment, dozens of soldiers in short fur coats and military coats were desperately pushing the truck full of grain, trying to save the truck from the danger of sinking into the lake as soon as possible.

Kirianova and several female soldiers who came with her also wanted to join the cart, but I stopped them. When I came over just now, I found the driver dead in the cab. Judging by the huge bullet holes in the hood, there is no chance that the car will start again. And too many people were huddled around the truck to push the cart, the overwhelmed shattered ice was falling, and people were already standing in ankle-length water. I knew in my heart that if this continued, the ice under their feet would crumble at any moment, and then they would sink with the truck, into the dark ice cave. So after stopping the female soldiers from coming forward to help, I shouted loudly: "Stop, stop quickly!" Although Kirianova didn't know the reason for my shouting, she raised her voice to help me shout out of trust in me. The female soldiers shouted in unison.

The voices of the female soldiers stopped the busy people, and one of the commanders, wearing the rank of second lieutenant, wiped the sweat from his head, waded through the water that overflowed into the ice, walked in front of me, gave a military salute, and asked politely: "Hello, Comrade Major!" I'm Second Lieutenant Miducci, the traffic commander, why do you want to stop? ”

I pointed to the deeper and deeper water beneath his feet, and said unceremoniously: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, I don't know if you have paid attention, if a few more people come to help you push the cart, the ice under your feet will be in danger of breaking, so that all of you will sink to the bottom of the lake with the truck." After saying this, I waved to the soldiers who were still gathered around the truck and said loudly: "Comrades soldiers, don't crowd here, stand aside first." ”

"But, Comrade Major!" The second lieutenant said in a pleading tone: "The car is full of food!" It's all priceless food! We don't have the right to watch this cart of grain sink to the bottom of the lake. ”

"Yes, Comrade Major! Even if we sacrifice our lives, we must protect our food! "Not far away, a soldier overheard my conversation with the second lieutenant and loudly defended the second lieutenant.

With a leader, a group of people immediately followed and said: "Yes, comrade commander, as long as we can protect the grain, we are not afraid of sacrifice!" ”……

Seeing everyone's turbulence, I hurriedly raised my hands and pressed down on Lu, and said loudly: "Quiet, everyone be quiet, listen to me well." "Because Lao Maozi's army is highly hierarchical, although many people are dissatisfied with me, but I am the highest-ranking military among the people present at the moment, and when I heard this, everyone immediately quieted down.

When no one spoke, I began to give a series of orders: "Second Lieutenant Miducci! ”

"In!"

"This truck was damaged in a German air raid just now, and it is estimated that it cannot be driven. You immediately go ahead and find a truck and use the tow rope to tow the car out. ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant said yes and ran away quickly.

"Lieutenant Kirianova!"

"Comrade battalion commander, I'm here!" Kirianova hurriedly stepped forward and promised me.

"You see, because this truck is blocking the road, the whole traffic is interrupted, and the troops and civilians who are leaving the city are blocking the traffic and blocking the road of the convoy entering the city. You immediately evacuate the crowd with the female soldiers to maintain order and get traffic back to normal. ”

"Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task. ”

It was only after the end of the day that I gave the order to the soldiers who were still standing around the truck, "Alright, it's your turn." Obey my orders, go to two people in the carriage and unload the grain from the carriage. ”

The warriors said yes, and then two burly warriors boarded the carriage and climbed onto the mountain of grain sacks. "The soldiers under the car lined up and passed the grain unloaded from the car to the side of the road."

The two soldiers each grabbed a bag of grain and threw it down, but they didn't expect that many pockets were broken in the strafing just now, and they threw two of them, and suddenly white flour flew all over the sky, fascinating the eyes of many soldiers under the car, and some short-tempered people immediately shouted at the soldiers on the car.

"Quiet, all quiet for me!" Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, I shouted loudly at the soldiers in the line, and when they had quieted down again, I said to the two soldiers in the carriage: "Comrade soldiers, there are a lot of pockets on the car, which have been damaged by the German plane just now, so you should unload those pockets that are not broken." ”

The two fighters in the car nodded, carefully grabbed a bag and threw it down. A few hands under the car immediately grabbed the bag from the ice and passed it to the side of the road in turn. When the grain on the truck was almost half unloaded, Ensign Miducci, who had gone looking for the truck, returned. So I asked the fighters who were unloading in the carriage to come down first, and asked the second lieutenant to hang the tow rope trailer. Luckily, there was a lot of unloading on the truck, so the front vehicle easily towed the broken down truck to a safe place.

Looking at the shattered ice and the swarthy lake in the ice cave, I asked the second lieutenant with some concern, "Second Lieutenant Miducci, what should I do if the ice in this place is broken?" ”

He just looked at it casually, and then said lightly: "Comrade Major, please rest assured that the temperature on the lake is low, and it will freeze again here in less than two hours." ”

"Report to Comrade Major," a familiar voice sounded beside her, and when she turned her head, it turned out to be instructor Orlova, and seeing that I had noticed her, she continued to report: "The commanders of the 1st and 2nd companies of the anti-aircraft artillery company have arrived and are waiting for you in the tent." ”

I nodded first and continued to say to Miducci: "Comrade Ensign, then this place will be handed over to you, good luck!" After saying that, after raising his hand to salute him, he turned to Orlova and said, "Let's go!" Comrade instructor. Take me to meet the two company commanders. ”
