"Hey, tell me now: how did you come up with a clever way to hit German tanks and infantry with anti-aircraft machine guns? How did you come up with it?! "Captain Holopov stood on the edge of the cliff, holding a telescope and looking with great interest at the soldiers cleaning the battlefield below, and asked me curiously.

Just now he rushed over angrily with a few soldiers, and shouted at me with red ears and bruised muscles: "Comrade Sergeant, you are committing a crime!" You must know that without the permission of his superiors, he used anti-aircraft machine guns to fight the German infantry, and changed the use of technical equipment without authorization, which is a military court······"

I couldn't help but want to refute a few words, but then I restrained myself, smiled wryly and shook my head, many things in this era cannot be measured by the standards of later generations. Fighting infantry with anti-aircraft machine guns is a method of fighting invented by the Soviet army, and I am just plagiarizing the achievements of my predecessors. Although the captain is currently the supreme commander on the nameless heights, he can only remove me from his post at most, and will he really send me to a military court, if he wants to scold, let him scold him enough, anyway, what he said is fast and urgent, I can't understand a lot of content, just choose to ignore it.

He was scolding vigorously when the smoke and disgusting smell of burning from the bottom of the mountain interrupted his tirade. He ran to the edge of the cliff, picked up the binoculars and looked down, first opened his mouth wide in surprise, then laughed and shouted excitedly: "Well done, girls! Well done, girls!! You've done a great job!! Although I didn't look down with a telescope like he did, I knew very well what he saw: the battlefield had long been silent, the corpses of the German soldiers were lying there, the destroyed tanks and armored vehicles were still billowing smoke, and the German soldiers who had survived had no choice but to walk on the road of prisoners of war with their hands held high, escorted by the soldiers.

Although I saw the example of fighting infantry with anti-aircraft machine guns on a well-known forum, I could never have said to the captain: I saw this style of fighting from a World War II post when I was browsing the Internet forum, so I don't think they think I'm crazy. I shrugged my shoulders, smiled sheepishly, and racked my brains to come up with a lame reason. "At that time, I wanted to fight the enemy's tanks and infantry as airplanes······ That's how it happened. ”

He put down his binoculars, glanced at me, shook his head in disbelief, and smiled. "So, you say, you just use those German devils below as enemy planes in the sky to fight, that's what happened?"

I didn't know how to answer him, so I didn't squeak.

"Whatever you thought at the time, you still ordered the anti-aircraft machine gun to be used as an ordinary weapon." The lieutenant continued to ask. "Maybe you just want to take a risk, right? Adventure, don't you feel like you're taking a risk at the time? ”

"Comrade Platoon Commander," I was thinking carefully about how to answer him, when Natasha next to me interjected to relieve me: "Do we continue to count the consumption of ammunition?" ”

"Go ahead." I finally found this reason to get rid of the captain, and I didn't have a reason to take advantage of it, so I instructed them: "First count how many empty magazines there are, and then check how many bullets are left in the magazines on the machine guns, so that you can calculate how much ammunition has been consumed in this battle." ”

Seeing that I was starting to get busy, the captain closed his mouth very interestingly, and continued to look at the scenery below with his binoculars, after all, there was something he liked to see.

The roar of motors was heard in the distance, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in that direction, only to see a group of armored vehicles on the road driving towards us.

"It should be the senior commander who is here." A female soldier behind her whispered, "Look, there are so many armored vehicles. ”

"What senior commander?" The lieutenant's ears were so good that he could hear such a small voice, he put down his binoculars, looked back and saw the approaching convoy, and immediately trotted towards the armored car.

The armored vehicles in front slowed down as they drove past the captain, and the other armored vehicles behind slowed down. One of them stopped a few paces away from the captain, the door opened with a thud, and three generals stepped out of it. One of them, a general of medium stature, broad shoulders and a large brain, walked in front, followed by the other two.

The lieutenant straightened up and saluted the general who came over, and then reported loudly: "Comrade General, I am Senior Captain Kholopov, commander of the 2nd Annihilator Battalion of the 63rd Regiment of the 21st Division of the NKVD, please instruct." ”

The general did not speak, and strode towards the edge of the cliff. We automatically dodged a passage and saluted him collectively. He walked with heavy steps, and at the same time his body swayed slightly, and he did not look left or right, ignoring our salute, but walked forward silently.

Although he didn't say a word, I could already guess who he was, because at this time there were only Zhukov who had the rank of general among the generals staying in Leningrad. A lieutenant general and a major general walking side by side behind him should be his most trusted generals, Khozin and Fedyuninsky. Behind was a group of officers who had just come out of the armored car, almost all of them were colonel-level officers, either lieutenant colonels, colonels or colonels, and even two major generals.

Zhukov came to the edge of the cliff, picked up the telescope hanging around his neck, and without saying a word, observed the situation below the heights. Khozin and Fedyuninsky also stood by, looking down with binoculars. After the officers walked over, they also picked up their binoculars. When I saw this, I couldn't help but think of the spectators with binoculars on the racetrack, and their expressions were as excited as the group of commanders, the only difference was that they looked at the horses they bet on, while the commanders saw our victory on the battlefield.

Zhukov put down his binoculars, turned around and walked through the crowd and came to the captain. The lieutenant hurriedly stood upright, but before he said "Comrade Commander······ Commander", Zhukov interrupted him: "Tell me what is going on on the battlefield below?" ”

"I'm preparing a debriefing, Comrade General," replied the lieutenant hurriedly. "If you're willing to get to know ······"

But Zhukov interrupted him: "You report to me something important. And keep it simple and to the point. ”

"On orders from above," the lieutenant began. "Our battalion is stationed on the ······ of the nameless highlands"

"Be brief," Zhukov interrupted him again. "Where your ministry is stationed, all the people know it. You report on the situation of the battle. ”

"Yes," said the lieutenant, as he stood upright, "the Germans suppressed our battalion's positions with artillery fire, and then a part of the forces took the opportunity to go around behind the high ground and attack the line of the militia division. When the fighters of the anti-aircraft machine gun platoon found out, they opened fire on the enemy with anti-aircraft machine guns. ”

"Who came up with the idea of fighting infantry with anti-aircraft machine guns?" Zhukov asked with a frown.

"It's me, Comrade General." Without waiting for the captain to speak, I took the first step to stand out, whether it was a blessing or a curse, anyway, I let go of the Lu, and I was scolded again. "I can't watch the Germans attack their positions in the rear and die without help. Since we were only armed with rifles, and if we only relied on these weapons, we would not be able to destroy the enemy, so I decided to attack the enemy's armored vehicles and infantry with anti-aircraft machine gun fire and provide fire support for the defense of the militia division. ”

Zhukov listened to me patiently, looked me from head to toe, looked at the medal on my chest for a long time, and then asked expressionlessly: "Who are you?" Current military rank, position? ”

"My name is Mushdakova Oshanina, with the rank of sergeant, and now I am the platoon leader of an unnamed highland anti-aircraft machine gun platoon."

Looking at his serious face, I guessed that Zhukov might be about to lash out, after all, I am now in a very special era, and it is always a taboo to change the way of using technical equipment without authorization, and even if there is merit, the consequences are difficult to predict.

But soon I found out that I was worried in vain, and a smile actually appeared on Zhukov's face, and he deliberately pretended to be serious and said: "Wrong, wrong, not Sergeant Oshanina, but Lieutenant Oshanina." And not a platoon commander, but a company commander. Re-report. ”

Having just received the rank of sergeant yesterday, and today I have received the rank of lieutenant, and I have officially become an officer from a soldier, and I can't help but blush with excitement. When the female soldiers behind me heard that I had become a lieutenant, they also began to whisper happily, and I tried my best to suppress my excitement, reluctantly spoke, repeated the report, and for the first time in my life called myself a lieutenant and a company commander. Of course, I did not forget to express my gratitude to Zhukov, after all, he gave me an unexpected opportunity to improve.

"Anything else you'd like to say?" He asked me kindly.

"Some more anti-aircraft guns should be brought in," I replied almost without thinking, "the anti-aircraft machine guns are too powerful to pose a threat to the German tanks." The anti-aircraft gun is powerful and can be used as an anti-tank gun. "I say this because I think of the German Field Marshal Rommel, when he was in North Africa, he used 88mm anti-aircraft guns as anti-tank guns, and beat the British armored units to the ground.

"Comrade Major General Malyshkov," he asked, turning into one of the major generals in the crowd, "how many anti-aircraft guns can be removed at once and transferred to the battle sequence of the army?" ”

"But, Comrade Commander!" This top boss of mine said in a loud voice. "The city has been under heavy enemy air raids for two weeks in a row. If the number of anti-aircraft guns used for air defense is reduced, then there is no way for us to guarantee the work of Leningrad's air defense, if ······"

"Answer the question!" Zhukov interrupted him, then turned to all those present and added; "If the tanks of the German fascist bandits rushed into the streets, then what was the point of the air defense of the city? ······"

Then he gave the order to the general: "You go and call at once, and report to me in fifteen minutes how many anti-aircraft guns and what kind of guns can be called." Do you understand? ”

"Yes, Comrade Commander," the general replied, and then he asked Zhukov after glancing at me; "Permission for me to leave?" I secretly complained in my heart, it's over, I didn't go through my brain to talk just now, what do I want to say, I have offended my superior, will he give me small shoes in the future?

"Let's go. In fifteen minutes you will report to me in person. And the last question, "Zhukov added. "Tomorrow two platoons of anti-aircraft artillery units will be transferred here to replenish them, under the command of Lieutenant Oshanina."

"It's difficult! Comrade Georgy Konstantinovich. The general began to complain to Zhukov: "There are not enough troops everywhere, where can I go to find so many female soldiers for her?" "I thought to myself, it's only been a few minutes, he actually started to put on my little shoes, it seems that I will have a hard time in the future.

"There are no female soldiers, and even male soldiers are fine." Zhukov unceremoniously retorted to him: "Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, the replenished anti-aircraft artillery units must be in place, this is an order, carry it out." ”

"Yes." The general sighed softly, then saluted and strode towards the armored car. Seeing Zhukov talking to me, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, with such a backer, my boss didn't dare to put on small shoes for me.

Zhukov said to the commanders present: "Let's go, let's go to the Cover Department to continue the meeting." ”

I, a lieutenant in a sergeant's uniform, were not qualified to attend a meeting of this level, and all I could do was to watch them go away, and continue to direct the women soldiers to count the consumption of ammunition and scrub the anti-aircraft machine guns.
