This shout made me open my eyes suddenly, and when I looked around, I found that I was still lying on the hospital bed, and the thrilling scene just now was just a dream I had.

I stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, trying to remember what I had seen in my dream. Let's say it's a dream, everything seems so real; Let's say it's true, from the analysis of the situation at that time, it was almost impossible for Rokossovsky's convoy to break out of the encirclement of German tanks in the open field.

However, in my limited memory of the Soviet Union, Rokossovsky lived smoothly into the post-war period, not only becoming a marshal of the Soviet Union, but also serving as the commander-in-chief of the first military parade on Red Square after the victory in World War II. Maybe what I just saw was just a dream, and I didn't need to worry about it at all.

I closed my eyes and wanted to go back to sleep. But after people wake up in the middle of the night, it is not easy to fall asleep again. I tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and I never felt sleepy. When I opened my eyes and looked at the sky, it should still be the middle of the night. At this time, I woke up too early, and even if I got up, there was nothing to do, so I closed my eyes and continued to sleep.

I still didn't feel sleepy when I closed my eyes, and I couldn't help but replay the dream just now in my mind like a movie. I have never been to the village of Peshki in the dream and the tank commander mentioned the name of Durekino, but what does everything in the dream seem so real?

When the sky was bright, I was thinking about it for half a night, and finally looked forward to the sleepiness that I had not seen for a long time. "Maybe it's just a dream." I thought to myself silently, and slowly fell asleep. Not long after I fell asleep, I faintly heard the sound of someone pushing the door, and I tried to open my lead-filled eyelids and look towards the place where the sound was coming from. There was no light in the room, but when I looked around, I knew it was the nurse who was nursing me, and she was walking lightly towards my bedside.

"What's the matter? Comrade Nurse! Seeing that the nurse was planning to wake me up, I sighed and asked weakly.

Maybe I didn't expect that I had woken up, and when she heard my sudden voice, she was so frightened that she covered her chest with her hands and took a few steps back. After calming down a little, she gently patted her chest with her hand, gasped violently a few times, turned on the light in the room, and then walked over again, bent down, and said, "Comrade commander, you are awake!" ”

"Yes! What's the matter? I asked, trying to sit up.

"Colonel Bezikov is waiting for you outside, saying that there is something important!" She hurriedly stepped forward and helped me sit up and get dressed.

I sighed secretly, it seemed that I couldn't even sleep well today, so I asked her while dressing, "Do you know what Comrade Colonel Lu Dao is looking for me?" ”

"I don't know what to say," she replied honestly, buttoning up my hospital gown, "the colonel just asked me to call you up as soon as possible, saying that there is something very important." ”

After getting dressed, I moved my body back, leaned my back against the head of the bed, and said to the nurse, "All right, go and invite Comrade Colonel in." ”

The nurse agreed, went over and opened the door, and said outside, "Comrade Colonel, please come in!" With that, he leaned to the side so that Bezikov could enter the door.

I couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Bezikov limping in, without a cane in his hand: his recovery ability was so strong that he was able to walk independently in such a short time. When he sat down in front of my bed, I preemptively asked, "Comrade Colonel, is there anything important about coming to me so early?" ”

He first raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said unhurriedly: "I just received a phone call informing me that in half an hour, the Kremlin will send a car to pick us up." Comrade Stalin wants to receive you, so get ready. ”

He said it lightly, but as soon as this remark came out, I was immediately stunned: What? How is it possible that Stalin wants to receive me? You must know that during this period of time, I have no remarkable achievements at all, and I can attract the attention of the Supreme Commander, how can I be summoned so abruptly?

Before I could come to my senses from the shock, he looked at me again and said in an irrefutable tone: "You can't wear this to see Comrade Stalin, I have prepared a new military uniform for you, and I will send it to you soon." ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock at the door. The nurse standing in the doorway pulled the door open and poked her head out. I only heard her whisper a few words to the people outside the door, and then opened the door wide. I caught a glimpse of a uniformed soldier standing outside the door, seemingly holding something in his hand. When Bezikov looked back and saw the man, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Give the clothes to the nurse, and you can leave." The warrior outside agreed, handed the clothes in his hand to the nurse, gave a military salute, and turned and walked away.

The nurse came to Bezkov's side with her clothes in her hands and watched as he waited for his order. Bezzikov shook his head at me and said, "Why are you still stunned?" Hurry up and put it on Comrade Lieutenant Colonel. ”

The nurse said yes, came to me with her clothes in her arms, then turned her head to look at Bezikov, and did not speak. I understood the meaning of the nurse's embarrassed expression, and hurriedly beckoned to Bezikov: "Comrade Colonel, I'm going to change my clothes, can you avoid it first?" ”

"Oh," Bezkov was visibly stunned for a moment when he heard me say this, and then nodded again and again: "No problem, I'll go out immediately, I'll wait for you outside." So saying, he got up and limped out of the door, and closed the door with him.

What Bezikov had prepared for me was a brand new military uniform, a dark gray military coat, a white standard shirt, a gray uniform skirt, a standard military uniform with a military rank on the collar, and a gray cylindrical fur hat. The nurse helped me take off my hospital gown, and then helped me put on my new uniform one by one.

I got dressed and got out of the hospital bed, and was about to put on my skirt, when I noticed that the nurse was looking at me in a daze. I asked her curiously, "Comrade nurse, what are you looking at?" ”

"You're so beautiful! I was stunned! The nurse did not hesitate to praise her, but it made me blush, and I quickly diverted the subject while putting on my skirt: "I'm dressed, you go and invite Comrade Colonel in." ”

When Bezikov came in, I was already wearing a military cap and was wearing a military overcoat. As soon as he saw me, he also had the same expression as the nurse just now, staring at me without blinking, and I was extremely embarrassed to see it. I quickly coughed and asked him, "Comrade Colonel, I'm dressed, when can I go?" ”

He came back to his senses abruptly and promised in a panic: "We can leave now, we can go outside and wait for the car." ”

As we walked downstairs down the hall, a staff member in a white coat passed by pushing a food truck. Bezikov stopped him, grabbed a handful of bread slices from the car, handed them to me, and said with concern: "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, eat something first, don't go hungry." ”

I thanked him and took the slice of bread.

Just as he was about to eat, a soldier rushed in from outside, stood up in front of Bezkov and saluted, and reported: "Comrade Colonel! I was ordered to pick you up and Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina. The car is just outside, please come with me! ”

"Understood." Bezkov returned the salute to the soldiers, then turned to me and said, "The car is coming, let's go!" With that, I quickly put the slice of bread I hadn't had time to eat into my pocket and followed him out.

The car drove to the Kremlin, and before entering the arch, Bezikov, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window pane and reached out to gesture to an officer standing by the door. The officer raised his hand in salute and stepped aside. Two gunmen stood on the battlefield next to the brown shack and gave a gun salute to our car.

"Drive the car to the old place." The colonel softly ordered the driver.

Barely slowing down, the car drove past the Grand Kremlin, skirted the empty Ivanov Square, and stopped in front of the steps of the gate, covered with carved metal cornices. As soon as the car came to a stop, the Colonel opened the door, jumped out, and walked to the back to help me open the door.

I got out of the car and looked around curiously, the last time I came was in a hurry, I didn't look so carefully, and now I found that the church next to it with five gilt domes turned out to be the Cathedral of Our Lady, which is said to contain the bronze coffins containing the remains of the popes and tsars of the past.

"Follow me!" Bezzikov said to me with a blank expression, then turned and walked up the steps to lead the way for me. I have the impression that the Kremlin is known for its mystery and guards, and I don't know how many interrogations there will be along the way. But following Bezikov, so the formalities were omitted, and the road was unimpeded.

When you go to the second floor, you come to a large hallway with a long red carpet on the floor. On either side of the corridor there was a tall oak-colored door at considerable intervals, with a large black square sign on the door. I didn't bother to look at what was written on the sign, I just buried my head and followed Bezikov forward, and the more I walked, the more nervous I became.

At the end of the hallway, there is a small table covered with green tweed and a telephone on it. Behind the desk sat a soldier without a military cap. Seeing our arrival, he quickly stood up and whispered to Bezikov: "Comrade Colonel, you are here!" Comrade Stalin was inside, there was an order to let Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina alone in. Then he turned to me again and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, Comrade Stalin is waiting for you inside." Please come in! As he spoke, he carefully and gently grasped the doorknob and pulled it open.

When the door opened, I was still standing in the doorway in a daze, when Colonel Bezikov pushed me from behind and said softly: "Hurry up and get in!" Don't keep Comrade Stalin waiting. ”

I thought I would see Stalin when I entered the door, but I didn't expect to see a man with a shaved head sitting at the table to the left of the door. I took a closer look and found out that it was Bosk Rebelshev whom I knew. Although I almost died at his hands last time, he was Stalin's most trusted person, and I couldn't offend him yet, so I squeezed out a smile on my face and greeted him: "Hello, Comrade Boskrebeshev! We meet again. ”

Boskrebeshev stood up, stretched out his hand with a blank face, shook hands with me politely, then turned around and opened the door behind him, and said coldly to me: "Please come in, Comrade Stalin is waiting for you inside!" ”

As soon as I stepped into the room, I immediately saw Stalin.
