(2nd Update)

For the old commissar Valentin, every meeting with Major Mashkov was a torture. The head of the military base was his colleague and a bureaucratic man. God knows through what relationship this brain-filled guy climbed to this position.

Tonight, Mashkov summoned Valentin to his office, and as soon as Valentin entered the door, the other party came up with a smile on his face, and the smile was reflected on the face full of flesh, which looked particularly strange. Major Mashkov's belly was so big that even the buttons could barely outline the fat intestines that were about to come out.

"Comrade Commissar, please be seated." Mashkov kindly beckoned Valentin to sit down, which made Valentin feel a little uneasy, every time Mashkov showed such an attitude, it was always accompanied by bad things.

"Say, Comrade Mashkov. Do you have anything you want me to explain? Valenjing didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly asked him to get straight to the point and point out the topic. Anyway, the previous war was also presided over by Valentin, and he never counted on Mashkov, who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Mashkov smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, I hope that the more than a hundred soldiers in the base this night will be under your sole responsibility, and I need to go to the rear to see when the reinforcements from the army will arrive." ”

"Did you escape?" Valentin slowly retracted his expression, and he looked at Mashkov in front of him with the same indifference as he looked at those Chechen militants.

"Where, where, you misunderstood, Comrade Valentin." Mashkov touched his nose in embarrassment, but in his heart he was annoyed and angry that the conspiracy was exposed, this major's position was originally the position he spent and dredged up the relationship to drill the camp, and now that something went wrong, he didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be accused of escaping, so he simply let Valentin take over the command of the military base.

Anyway, if all of them die in the end, then he can still say that he is the only one who lives, and maybe he will be assigned to another place to continue to hold an official position. If in the end these people did not die and survived, then Mashkov would have collected enough money to hide in the Western world for the rest of his life to squander.

"Comrade Mashkov, let's get straight to the point." Valentin, leaning back in his chair and putting on a serious face, asked, "Just tell me if you plan to escape, and I won't embarrass you if you say yes or no." Yes, get out of here before it's too late, there's no need for a coward like you here! ”

"Yes, I'm just going to get ready to escape, what's wrong?" Since he couldn't pretend anymore, Mashkov simply tore his face and told Valentin the truth, "Moscow only asks us to hold our positions until the last man, and says that reinforcements will arrive soon." When will it be soon? Comrade Valentin? One day, two days or a week? By that time, we would have long since been cut off and hung on a tree by the Chechens who rushed in. Don't forget how they treated the soldiers of Grozny who were unwilling to surrender! ”

"But you're a soldier! It is a soldier's duty to obey orders! Valentin rebuked, and at this moment he felt that Mashkov had completely ruined the reputation of the Red Army, like the dirtiest villain in the movie.

"What a joke." Mashkov snorted coldly, "Tell you, Comrade Valentin, what communism, what long live the Soviets are bullshit, it is the truth to live first, shouting all day long to fight for ideals?" It's just a dream, phew. ”

Mashkov spat on the ground and stomped on it with his boots, smashing the things he had sworn to protect.

Valentin took a deep breath, and he calmly said to Mashkov, "Do you know what the greatest duty of the commissar was during the Great Patriotic War? ”

"How do I know, and I don't want to know. If you want to stay here, stay and stay, I'll go first. Mashkov turned to pick up the coat hanging on the hanger, and Valentin, standing behind him, pulled out his pistol and shot him directly in the back of the head.

"Bang." A sharp gunshot tore through the calm of the base, and a bullet pierced a bloody hole in Mashkov's head, and the splattered blood clots stained the portrait of Lenin hanging on the wall a blood-red color.

"The greatest duty of the commissar is to shoot the cowards who have escaped." Valentin stared at Mashkov's dead face and said to himself. At this time, the gate suddenly opened, and Mashkov's guards rushed in, and they saw Major Mashkov who had fallen to the ground, and Valentin Commissar with murderous faces, and they didn't know what to do at once.

"Comrade Mashkov tried to leave his post without permission, and I shot him dead. Who wants to be next? The decisive appearance of Valentine's sofa made everyone subconsciously take a step back.

"No one wants to escape? Very well, then you should hurry back to your post and keep it for me. Valentin walked out angrily, the guards consciously avoided a road, and before walking out, Valentin said to one of them, "By the way, clean up the body in the house, I don't want to see this person." ”

"Yes." In the face of Valentin's intimidating eyes, it took almost a great deal of effort for the guard to utter the word.

Just as Valentin was about to arrive at the gate of the base, suddenly a soldier rushed in and said breathlessly, "Commissar Valentin, it's not good. The Chechens organized an even more violent offensive. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, a loud explosion came from outside the window, and the entire base shook because of this huge explosion, and the glass outside the window was shattered in half, and the fragments fell on the soldiers leaning against the wall.

"Calm down, get back to your position, lad." Valentin patted the young man's somewhat stunned face, gave him an order, and then took a Kalashnikov rifle from the soldiers beside him, and said to the soldiers behind him who were about to rush out of the underground base bunker, "Follow me, soldiers. Be sure to hold the base tonight, the reinforcements will return to Dada tomorrow, and the final victory will definitely be ours! ”

After that earth-shattering explosion, the position fell silent again.

Without any artillery fire or air support, the army relied on its iron will to stop the Chechen militants who rushed up. Everyone stayed in the trenches, with magazines ready, bullets loaded, and bayonets for white-knuckle combat. They stared at the barbed wire fence in front of them, and looked at the figures in the fields outside the birch forest that were gradually becoming dense.

It's not dawn yet, and the eerie silence of midnight here.

All in white camouflage uniforms fell in the snow, holding their breath as the Chechen militants stepped into the range of bullets. They have forgotten what fear is, only a firm faith, a heroic spirit that will never retreat, and a determination to die with this land.

"The Soviets never say never!"

The encouragement of the commissar lingered in the ears of every soldier and lasted for a long time.

"Kill them!"

The soldiers who were lying in ambush in the birch forest suddenly stood up with a shout, and in the brief panic of the militants, pulled the trigger on the incoming enemy. The Kalashnikov rifle constantly sprayed tongues of fire, mercilessly harvesting the lives of those militants.

"Ulla!"
