Half an hour later, Captain Diaomi and Sergeant Yemelyanov, who had gone to the health team to deal with the clashes, returned to the company command post with Hojo Tanio.

Although Hojo Tanio spent several years in the Soviet prisoner of war camp, his long-term experience in the community allowed him to always maintain the momentum of not being angry and arrogant. His beard had long since been shaved off, and he looked much younger. However, his condition is not very good at the moment, Guozi's face is blue and purple, his thick eyebrows are constricted, and he is wearing a bandage on his arm, and there are new oozing blood.

Captain Diomi walked up to me, saluted, and reported: "Comrade Major, the troublesome soldiers have been pacified, and I will bring it over to you for disposal." ”

I nodded and said, "Comrade Captain, leave his affairs to me." But now go and gather the soldiers of the company, and I have something to say to them. Then I looked at Sorin, who had been gossiping with me for a long time, and added, "Comrade instructor, you go and help the company commander." ”

"Yes!" The two of them said yes, saluted me, and left.

I walked up to Hojo Tanio and said sincerely, "Instructor Hojo, your injuries don't matter, right?" I apologize for the impulsive behavior of the fighters today and the damage caused to you, please don't mind. After saying that, I solemnly saluted him.

Perhaps he didn't expect me to apologize to him, and he was sincere, without the slightest hint of empathy, hesitated slightly, and then snapped and saluted me. "Sir, I don't blame those soldiers, I will continue to do my best to train them well." ”

I'm very satisfied with his attitude. I nodded and said, "Sergeant Hojo, let's go, come with me to meet the soldiers of the Seventh Company." ”

Since the death squad attacked the German position, it was equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, and the German army continued to attack the 131st Regiment while also paying enough attention to us, and would shell the positions of the Eighth Company every day. Although there were enough anti-artillery holes in the position, casualties were inevitable. Due to the fact that the Seventh Company had more recruits and weak combat effectiveness, this was also the reason why the two companies were not allowed to change their guards. The reason why I apologized to Hojo Tani Yumichi uncharacteristically today is also because I hope that he will train the recruits of the Seventh Company to become qualified soldiers as soon as possible, so that he can replace the Eighth Company, which suffered a lot of casualties, and rest for a while.

When we came outside, we saw that except for the sentries and patrols on duty, the rest of the Seventh Company was already neatly arranged in the clearing. Seeing us coming out, Diomi trotted up to me and immediately reported: "Comrade Major, the Seventh Company has been assembled, and I am waiting for your orders, please instruct." ”

"Get in the ranks!" Hearing my order, he saluted again and turned and trotted back to the far right of the line.

I walked slowly to the front of the queue and said unhurriedly: "Comrades, everyone has seen the beating of the instructor that happened today. I deliberately left Instructor Hojo behind, what did I do? It is to train you, improve your technical and tactical level, so that you can have more ability to save your life in the cruel battles in the future. However, what did you do to Instructor Hojo, dozens of people rushed up and beat the instructor to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and even his arms were discounted. You are really capable, and if you can be so brave against the Germans in the future, I should thank God! ”

"Comrade Major, this Hojo instructor is so bad that he doesn't take the lives of our comrades seriously, and lets a few people hide behind the mound, so he lets people strafe with machine guns, and he doesn't want to kill people like this." Second Lieutenant Saprekin, who was in the ranks, stood up and said loudly with righteous indignation, "The anger in the hearts of the warriors cannot be quelled unless he is taught a harsh lesson." ”

I didn't expect the second lieutenant to say that, obviously doing something wrong, and actually using strong words. I rolled my eyes at him and asked, "Where is the wounded fighter?" ”

"Here I am, Comrade Commander." A fighter, with a bandage on his arm, walked out of the queue behind the second lieutenant.

"Tell me, why are you running around when the machine guns start firing?"

Hearing my question, the soldier was a little flustered, and it took him a long time to reply, "Major...... Comrade Major, you ...... You don't ...... I don't know what to say, but when the bullets whizzed overhead, my mind went blank, I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. ”

I waved at the soldier to get him back into the ranks, and then I said in a loud voice: "Comrades, I'm sure you've all heard that this soldier was wounded by a stray bullet because he was scared when the bullet flew overhead. You can seriously think about what it will be like to be so panicked during training, and when you really go to the battlefield, you will face the enemy's bullets and shells that keep exploding around you. At that time, running around was not only as simple as getting injured, but also paying the price of your life. ”

Seeing that the people in the team listened to my words and looked thoughtful, I hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and then said: "From today onwards, every soldier will have this courage training. But for the sake of safety, Instructor Hojo. At this point, I turned my head and called out to Hojo Tanio, and instructed him: "Later, arrange for the fighters to bury steel plates in the mound, so that the bullets will not pass through the mound and hurt the fighters hiding behind." ”

Hojo Tani slammed and replied loudly, "Yes, sir! ”

I shouted at the group again, "Do you understand what I'm saying?" ”

The commanders and fighters in the team replied loudly in unison: "Understood! ”

Then I gave an order to Diomi and Thorin, saying, "Two company commanders and instructors, the next training will be carried out by you to assist Instructor Hojo." Do you understand? ”

The two replied in unison: "Understood, Comrade Major. We're going to get the job done. ”

Over the next two months, Hojo's training was remarkable, and apart from a lack of battlefield experience, the soldiers of the 7th Company were no worse than the rest of the elite units. Under these circumstances, I was relieved to let the two companies change their guards, the eighth company withdrew to the village to rest, and Daiomi's seventh company took charge of the original eighth company's position.

The situation of the 131st Regiment was getting worse and worse, under the encroachment of the Germans, the positions were greatly reduced, and the troops were almost killed or wounded. In order to rescue the besieged troops, on the morning of June 12, the 132nd Regiment concentrated its forces and launched a fierce attack on the flank of the German army, in an attempt to open a gap in the German blockade line and rescue the besieged troops. But under the counterattack of the powerful artillery fire of the German army, the offensive lasted only an hour and ended hastily.

Standing on the position, I saw through the telescope the 132nd regiment, which had suffered heavy casualties, and after throwing down hundreds of corpses and withdrawing from the battle in disarray, I put down my binoculars, sighed deeply, and then said to Master Yemelyanov, who was standing beside me: "The 131st regiment is finished. Tonight, you take the guard squad to the lake to see if you can find the commanders and fighters of the 131st Regiment who broke through. ”

Tuas hurriedly agreed: "Yes." Then he asked with concern: "Comrade Major, I took away all the guard squads, who will protect your safety." ”

I said disapprehantly, "Don't worry, I can protect myself." Remember, if there's anything going on, call me right away. ”

"Yes." Again, Tuas said yes dryly.

As soon as it was getting dark, it suddenly began to rain, and at the same time, the German shelling began. Listening to the sounds, the shells exploded both at the positions of the 8th Company and at the positions of the 131st Regiment, but the explosions on the other side of the lake appeared to be more dense, and it seemed that the Germans were making the most rear-end attack on the 131st Regiment.

The shelling lasted half an hour, and then suddenly there was silence.

I hurried to the company headquarters of the 8th Company and asked Lieutenant Ugad, who was talking on the phone inside: "Comrade lieutenant, what is the latest situation on the position?" ”

Ugad replied with a crying face: "Comrade Major, communication with the position has been broken, probably the telephone line has been blown up by a shell. I've already arranged for the signal corps to go overhauled. ”

When I heard that the connection with the position had been cut off, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "I'll go to the position and have a look." When he saw that Second Lieutenant Miducci was also sitting in the room, he pointed at him and said, "Second Lieutenant, take two soldiers and come with me." ”

Because we were anxious to understand the situation, we wore raincoats and ran all the way in the rainstorm, usually walking for more than ten minutes, but after only five minutes, we came to the position.

Panting, I entered the position along the communication trench, and when I saw that the soldiers were rushing to repair the bombed fortifications, I quickly grabbed one of the soldiers and asked him, "Where is the company commander?" ”

"In the company command post, Comrade Major." The soldier saw that it was me and hurriedly replied, seeing that I was going to continue walking, and added a sentence later: "The guard squad led by Sergeant Yemelyanov caught four deserters by the lake and took them to the company headquarters. The company commander and the instructor are interrogating them. ”

Deserter?! Whether it was a soldier who had broken through from the 131st Regiment, I had to ask for clarification, so I walked quickly to the company command post.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the earthen hut-style shelter department of the company command post, I suddenly heard a man's nervous and panicked voice coming from inside: "...... I'm sorry, Comrade Captain, I ...... I know the way...... Maybe you...... You think I'm saying ridiculous, but that's totally ...... It was a complete misunderstanding. We...... We are not deserters, we ...... We are your descendants,...... We are from the future! ”
