While waiting for the platoon commanders to report the casualties, there seemed to be someone moaning near me, and someone shouting something at the top of their voices. With the shouting, a male hygienist wearing a steel helmet carrying a medical kit and a red cross armband on his arm ran down the trench. After running past me, he took a few more steps forward before stopping and crouching down.

I looked curiously, and saw a soldier lying on his side on the ground in the corner of the trench, his body strangely bent, his hands pressed against his stomach, and another soldier crouching beside him. The hygienist apparently came to treat him on purpose, and after taking out the bandages and the like from the medical kit, he pulled the soldier's hands away from covering his stomach and began to treat him.

I was watching the hygienist treat the wounded, when suddenly I heard Mikhailov's voice: "Comrade division commander, I found you, are you okay?" ”

I turned around, saw Mikhailov, who had just jumped into the trench, smiled at him and nodded, and then asked: "Comrade Corporal, are Lieutenant Prully's armored forces scattered and hidden?" ”

"It's been hidden for a long time." After answering my question, Mikhailov said nervously: "After delivering the order, I withdrew with them in an armored car to the rear of the position. I just saw the Germans shelling their positions, and I was worried about your safety, so I ran back. ”

At this time, Captain Dubrovsky and the company commander, Captain Rosenberg, came to me.

I saw both commanders appear in front of me. I asked bluntly, "What about the casualties of the troops?" ”

"Seventeen sacrifices. Thirty-eight were wounded. Captain Rosenberg replied preemptively.

"Got it. Before we could see the enemy, we suffered fifty-five casualties. Hearing such casualty figures, I couldn't help but say bitterly, "As a result, less than half of the commanders and fighters will be left in the whole company." ”

"Comrade division commander, what you said is not right." As soon as I finished speaking, Dubrovsky corrected me and said: "Our battalion is a reinforced battalion, and each company has 230 men. Including the guard platoon of the battalion, there were 800 people in total. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, before the shelling, you let the second and third companies withdraw in time, otherwise so many people are crowded in this trench, and we will pay more casualties." ”

"Commanders, comrades," I said, looking at the two battalion and company-level commanders in front of me, in a stern tone, "while the German offensive has not yet begun, you immediately organize manpower to repair the fortifications. At the same time, it is necessary to send out reconnaissance teams to find out the general situation of the enemy. so that we can take targeted deployments. ”

The two commanders said yes and turned to carry out my mission. After the two of them left, I asked Mikhailov: "Did the guard squad suffer heavy casualties in the shelling just now?" ”

Mikhailov looked to the left and right, and said to me with some embarrassment: "Comrade division commander, I can't answer you about this. You know, I just came back to the trenches after the shelling. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he suddenly said to me, "Comrade Division Commander, I heard him say something while I was retreating with Lieutenant Prulley. ”

"What's the matter, Comrade Corporal?" I asked lightly.

Pointing to a place to the north, Mikhailov said to me: "Comrade division commander, Lieutenant Prulli told me that he had discovered a German place where mines were stored. If I'm not mistaken, it should be in that location. ”

"Landmines?" When I heard this Dongdong, which was helpful for the defense, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart, but then I thought of the intensive shelling of the German army just now, and my heart went cold again, and I asked uncertainly: "The German bombardment of us just now, I believe you also saw it from a distance." Can you determine the location of this storage mine, which was not destroyed in the shelling? ”

"Probably not." Mikhailov affirmed: "Despite the heavy German shelling, I did not find any explosions at the location where the mines were stored, and I think they should remain there intact." ”

"It's a pity that Captain Mihayev's engineer company is not here," I could only sigh when I heard that the mines were still intact at the storage point, "otherwise, I could have him lead people to bury them in front of the position, so that when the enemy infantry rushed up, they could still inflict some damage." ”

"Comrade division commander, you don't have to worry." Mikhailov said confidently: "Leave this matter to me, I will take the fighters of the guard squad to mine mines." ”

"Well, you bring more soldiers and try to use all the mines there. If the Germans don't come, they will definitely give them a taste of the power of mines. ”

I was deeply afraid that Mikhailov's rank was too low to command a battalion of soldiers, so I called Captain Dubrovsky over and asked him to arrange some men to follow Mikhailov on his mission. When Dubrovsky heard that Corporal Mikhailov was going to take people to lay mines, without saying a word, he immediately gathered twenty fighters and left the position with Mikhailov.

Looking at the back of Mikhailov and their departure, Dubrovsky asked worriedly: "Comrade division commander, is it still too late to lay mines?" I was afraid that as soon as they began to lay mines, the German troops rushed up. ”

"Don't worry, Comrade Captain, Corporal Mikhailov is also a veteran of many battles, and he will know how to improvise. When laying mines, he will arrange special personnel to serve as guards. ”

After about twenty minutes, I saw Mikhailov running towards the trench with a group of fighters. I patted Dubrovsky next to me and said to him with some pride: "How is it, Comrade Captain, I am not wrong, as long as Corporal Mikhailov leads the team, nothing will happen, and they will not all come back safely?" ”

As soon as Mikhailov jumped into the trenches, I quickly grabbed him and asked: "How is it, Comrade Corporal, have the mines been laid?" ”

"Buried. It's buried. Comrade division commander. Mikhailov replied breathlessly. He took a few breaths. He also reported to me: "A total of 110 mines, all of which have been laid. As soon as our mines were laid, we discovered in the distance that German troops were moving towards our side. ”

"The Germans are coming up?" Although I had long guessed that the Germans might attack us after the shelling was over, when I really heard that the Germans were coming, I couldn't help but be a little nervous, and quickly asked Mikhailov: "Comrade Corporal. Do you see how many troops they have, do they have tanks and armored vehicles? ”

Mikhailov shook his head and said in embarrassment: "We were patronizing the retreat and did not have time to take a closer look. ”

Hearing his answer, I was so angry that I almost kicked him, and was about to send someone to scout it. Captain Rosenberg came up along the trench with a soldier and reported to me: "Comrade division commander, our scouts have returned. According to his report, enemy troops are moving to our side, probably in a few more minutes. will appear in front of our positions. ”

When I learned that it was a scout standing in front of me, I quickly repeated the question I had just asked Mikhailov. Then quietly wait for the other party's answer.

When the scout heard my question, he quickly straightened up and replied with some nervousness: "Report to the division commander, it is estimated that our reconnaissance shows that the Germans have probably dispatched a company of infantry, and under the cover of two armored vehicles, are moving towards our position. ”

"Only two armored vehicles? Comrade Scout, are you sure you read that right? "Although my tone was very kind, anyone could hear my suspicion in my words, when the Germans attacked our positions, they would send tanks to cooperate, and this time only armored vehicles were dispatched, or only two, which is a bit incredible.

"That's right, that's right, Commander." The scout also heard the suspicion in my words, and hurriedly defended loudly: "We have repeatedly confirmed that the Germans really only sent one company of infantry and two armored vehicles. ”

"I get it. Comrade soldier, there's nothing to do with you here, you go down first. After I sent the scouts away, I asked Dubrovsky: "Comrade Captain, what do you think of this?" ”

Dubrovsky frowned and thought about it carefully, and then replied to me: "Comrade division commander, I guess it is nothing more than two situations: first, the German army cannot find out what we are doing, so they only send a small force to test it; Second, the German forces were too scattered to be inconvenient to mobilize at night, and the only reserve that the German commander could mobilize to attack us was to attack us. After saying that, seeing that I was deep in thought, he hurriedly added, "No matter which of these two cases, the shape is very beneficial to us." Our strength and equipment are almost the same as those of the Germans, and it should not be difficult to repel their attack. The only trouble was the two armored vehicles of the German army, we had no anti-tank weapons, and the only way to deal with them was to let the fighters blow them up with cluster grenades. ”

When I heard Dubrovsky's concern, I said disappreciatively: "Don't worry, although there are no anti-tank weapons, we still have tanks." Then I instructed Mikhailov, "Comrade Corporal, I now give you a glorious and difficult task. You immediately return to Lieutenant Pruli and let him lead the panzer to make a detour from the German flank, cut off the enemy's retreat, and strive to annihilate the invading enemy. ”

Not long after Mikhailov left, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded more than 100 meters in front of the position. I followed the prestige, and saw that the stragglers of the German infantry had entered our minefield, and the mines under their feet were stepped on one after another, and a loud explosion was formed, and the thick clouds of smoke and fire flew up with the stumps and severed arms of the enemy. In the sound of the explosion, the screams of the wounded who fell to the ground and rolled could be faintly heard.

Captain Dubrovsky, Captain Rosenberg, and their commanders and fighters all smiled and applauded when they saw this scene. I was afraid that they would get too carried away, and hurriedly reminded them: "Hey, I say, Captain Dubrovsky, why don't you get your fighters ready for battle yet?" ”

Hearing my shout, Dubrovsky didn't care about looking at the tragic situation of the German army, and hurriedly raised his voice and shouted left and right: "All listen to my orders, enter the position and prepare for battle!" As soon as his words fell, the surrounding warriors immediately passed on his order by word of mouth.

In fact, his order was a bit redundant, and the commanders and fighters had been staying in the trenches, and their weapons were all set up on the edge of the trenches, so-called ready for battle. It was nothing more than a machine-gun shooter putting his finger on the trigger. The rest of the fighters took out the grenades in their backpacks. Unscrew the lid on the back and place it neatly in front of yourself.

The combat effectiveness of the German army should not be underestimated, and although we had caused a lot of casualties in the minefields we had set up temporarily, nearly half of the soldiers managed to rush over and continue to rush towards our positions with their weapons in hand.

Looking at the German soldiers who were getting closer and closer, he stared intently at Captain Dubrovsky in front of him, raised his pistol high, and whispered something in his mouth. When the German sparse queue was less than fifty meters away from our trenches. Dubrovsky shouted violently: shoot! After firing a shot into the sky, he flattened the muzzle of the gun and continued to shoot at the German soldiers who were shaking their positions.

Although Dubrovsky's command was heard only by the soldiers who were close by, the gunfire was an order, and as his gun rang out, two light machine guns in the vicinity also clicked, and then more and more weapons joined the fire. Under the dense rain of bullets of our army, the twenty or thirty German soldiers who rushed to the front seemed to have crashed into a transparent glass wall. They all leaned back or fell straight down. Or turn around and fall headlong to the ground. Some cunning German soldiers in the back saw that our firepower was too fierce, so they hurriedly lay on the ground and hid in the shooting corner to shoot at us.

The marksmanship of the German soldiers was significantly better than that of our fighters, and although their numbers were limited, they also inflicted considerable casualties on us. The machine-gun shooter on my left was firing at a distant point of fire when the gunfire stopped abruptly, and then he lunged forward and pressed against the machine gun.

Seeing that the machine gun shooter was shot and killed, the secondary shooter hurriedly pushed his body away, moved the machine gun in front of him, set it up on the wall of the trench, and simply aimed it and began to shoot. As soon as he fired half a bullet, he suddenly covered his right shoulder with his left hand and fell on his back in the trench.

I hesitated for a moment when I saw the secondary shooter fall to the ground, and before I could think about whether to go over and take the place of the machine gun shooter, someone had already run past me, grabbed the machine gun and began to shoot at the Germans outside. I took a closer look, and it turned out to be Captain Rosenberg, the commander of the first company, who took over the position of deputy shooter. As the captain was shooting, one of the fighters bent over and ran to his side, whispered to pick up the fallen co-shooter, and hobbled towards the distance.

Seeing that the infantry attack was frustrated, the armored vehicles, which had provided fire cover in the rear of the entire platoon, could not hold their breath and rushed towards our positions with increased horsepower, while the machine guns on the vehicles were firing incessantly, causing dust to fly in the places they passed.

The German armored vehicles were getting closer and closer to our positions, and a few brave German soldiers got up from the ground, followed behind the armored vehicles, and cautiously approached our positions. I was deliberating whether I should have Captain Dubrovsky send someone to blow up the two tanks when I heard the sound of cannonballs. Behind the two armoured vehicles that were approaching, a puff of dirt rushed up, followed by an explosion that sent several hapless soldiers who followed them down.

When I saw the smoke from the explosion of the shells, the thought crossed my mind: "What's going on?" Could it be that the Germans fired again? Aren't they afraid of hurting their own people by mistake? ”

There was another explosion, and a ball of fire suddenly rose from the body of the armored car on the left, and after the armored car was on fire for a few meters, the body suddenly tilted and stopped.

One armored car was destroyed, and the soldiers who had been following behind were back on the ground, but the other continued to drive out despite the fact that they were not in charge. However, it was obviously unlucky, and after driving a short distance, I saw that it was hit by a high-speed flying object in the body, and the weak armor was immediately torn open a large hole, and with an explosion, the armored car was immediately surrounded by raging flames.

I heard the roar of a motor behind me, and I looked back to see what was going on. I panicked for a moment when I saw a group of tanks and armored vehicles painted with the German white cross emblem on their faces rushing towards us, but it soon dawned on me that it was Lieutenant Prully's armored unit.

But as the tank leaped rapidly over our trench, I waved my arms and shouted loudly to the deafening roar of the tank's motor: "Lieutenant Prully, forward!" Go ahead! Beat them up, beat up these damn Germans, don't let any of them run. ”

Seeing that their armored vehicles were destroyed and our armored units rushed up again, the Germans, who were still lying on the ground, did not get up and turn around and fled. It just stayed where it was and raised its hands high.

Seeing our armored units rushed forward. Dubrovsky, who was in the trenches, also lost his breath. He jumped out of the trench, stood on a high place, brandished the pistol in his hand and shouted loudly: "Comrades, forward, forward!" After shouting, he took the lead and rushed forward. The commander rushed forward, and the soldiers in the trenches also climbed out of the trenches. Armed with a weapon, he shouted and rushed forward.

Five minutes later, the battle was over. The battlefield was filled with spicy and pungent black smoke from the burned armored vehicle, and the smell of roasted meat. The thought of the smell of roasted meat, emitted by the charred corpses of German soldiers, made me feel a pang of nausea.

Dubrovsky returned to me and reported to me: "Comrade division commander, the battle is over. We suffered 76 casualties, eliminated 217 Germans, and did not take prisoners. ”

There were no captives, as soon as I heard this. I know that he is lying, just now I saw so many German troops raising up and surrendering. It must have been that he thought it was inconvenient to carry German prisoners, so he disposed of them without permission. But now is not the time to blame him, and our immediate priority is to get out of here as soon as possible and return to Mamayev Hills. So I ignored his killing, and instead ordered him: "Comrade Captain, the German attack has just been repulsed by us, and in a short time there should be no more attacks, so we should use this precious time to withdraw our troops." ”

"Comrade division commander, what about the wounded?" As soon as I finished giving the order, Dubrovsky suddenly asked.

I couldn't help but be stunned by this question, and I said in my heart what he meant by asking this sentence, did he want to give a grenade to each of the seriously wounded who could not move, and let them stay for us to block the German attack? Thinking of this, my brows couldn't help frowning, and at the same time I asked dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Captain, what do you mean by this, do you want to throw them all down?" Knowing that they are our comrades, is it appropriate to do so? ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as my words came out, Dubrovsky waved his hand again and again and said: "Comrade division commander, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Speaking of this, he pointed with his hand to the tanks and armored vehicles that were coming towards the trenches, and asked cautiously: "I want to ask, can we let those wounded who have difficulty moving in armored vehicles be transferred, so that we can increase the speed of our march?" ”

I saw an armored vehicle stop not far from us, and several commanders and fighters who got out of the car walked towards us almost without hesitation. I looked closely at the comers, and saw that Corporal Mikhailov was walking in front, and he was accompanied by Lieutenant Prully. I hurriedly waved at them and shouted, "Hey! Lieutenant Pruli, Corporal Mikhailov, hurry up to me. ”

Hearing my shout, Pruli and Mikhailov hastened their pace, took three steps and two steps to the edge of the trench and jumped in. After raising his hand to salute me, Pruli respectfully reported: "Comrade division commander, Tank Lieutenant Pruli reports to you that the armored forces have completely annihilated the invading German troops, please instruct!" ”

"Well done, Comrade Lieutenant." After I had finished complimenting him, I asked him in a consultative tone: "Lieutenant Prulley, I think you have also seen that in the German artillery bombardment and battle just now, the three regiments and one battalion suffered heavy casualties. If the soldiers were to carry the wounded on the march, it would affect the speed of our march. So I want to transfer the wounded in your armored car, you don't disagree, right? ”

Lieutenant Prulli hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Comrade Division Commander." After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "However, the space in the armored car is limited, and it is estimated that the wounded can be limited. ”

After listening to him, I waved my hand and said disappreciatively: "Comrade lieutenant, you don't have to worry about this, you can put as much as you can." As for the remaining wounded, it doesn't affect us much. ”

In this way, Captain Rosenberg and Lieutenant Prulli, who had received my order, began to arrange their manpower and carry the seriously wounded and the lightly wounded in the leg onto the armored car, while the rest of the lightly wounded left on foot with the large force.

Looking at the wounded who were getting into the car, Dubrovsky said to me flatteringly: "Comrade division commander, there are still about five kilometers from the 107.5 heights here, so you might as well leave in an armored car." He was deeply afraid of my concern, and he emphatically said, "Leave the rest of the matter to me and Captain Rosenberg." ”

Dubrovsky's advice did make me feel excited, but it only lasted for a moment before it vanished. I knew in my heart that if I evacuated with the wounded. Plus the guards who protected me. It is necessary to occupy at least one armored vehicle. As a result, a few wounded had to endure the pain and follow the troops on a long march, but it still had some effect on my glorious image. After thinking about this matter clearly, I shook my head decisively and said resolutely: "No, Comrade Captain, I have just said that the armored car is for the wounded. Then I can't be untrustworthy. So I'm going to leave here on foot, like the rest of you. ”

Dubrovsky wanted to persuade me a few more words, but I stopped me, and I stubbornly said: "Comrade Captain, don't persuade me anymore, just take my order to you." You have been in the army for so long, don't you know that the orders of your superiors are not allowed to be discussed and disobeyed, but can only be carried out? ”

Seeing me say this, Dubrovsky reluctantly agreed, and then he gathered his troops and went. While waiting for the wounded to get on the car and gather troops. Although I said that I was calm, I was actually anxious. I am afraid that the Germans will not be reconciled to the defeat they have suffered, and they will shell us here, and then so many of us will stay in the open ground without shelter, and there will be no casualties?

However, in the end it turned out that I was unfounded, and the Germans did not shell us or send any more troops to attack, and perhaps it was true, as Dubrovsky had just analyzed, because it was dark, and the Germans were unable to mobilize too many troops in a hurry, and after losing the only reserves, they could not attack us again.

After loading the seriously wounded and the wounded with limited mobility, Lieutenant Pruli's armored unit set off. Seven tanks in front of the road, followed by a long line of armored vehicles, and behind us were our infantry units on foot.

Halfway along the way, Dubrovsky asked me worriedly: "Comrade division commander, Lieutenant Prulli, their tanks and armored vehicles are still painted with the white cross of the German army, and the troops who are sticking to the 107.5 heights, don't think of them as Germans, if the two sides misunderstand, and your own people fight, it will be a joke." ”

Originally, I thought that everything was arranged, but after hearing Captain Dubrovsky say this, I felt that this possibility really existed, so I racked my brain to think about how to avoid this misunderstanding.

At this moment, the team in front suddenly stopped. Before I could speak, Dubrovsky was already asking from the front: "Hey, what's going on, why did the troops stop?" ”

Captain Rosenberg, who was walking in front of the ranks, hurriedly ran in front of us and reported: "Comrade division commander, it was the armored units in front that suddenly stopped, as if they were blocked by something. Because the queue of armored units is too long, it is not clear from us what exactly is happening in front. ”

I know what Captain Rosenberg said is the truth, when the tanks are marching, each tank is fifty meters apart, and the queue of seven tanks and fifteen armored vehicles can be thousands of kilometers long, and if something really happens in front of us, we really can't figure it out here. I listened attentively, and I didn't hear anything other than the roar of the armored car's motor in front of me, so it shouldn't have been a misunderstanding with the friendly forces holding the 107.5 heights.

I was about to send someone to the front to find out what was going on, when I suddenly heard Mikhailov next to me shout in surprise: "Comrade division commander, you see, it's the trucks, it's our truck team that has returned." ”

I hurriedly looked ahead, and sure enough, I saw seven or eight trucks with big headlights, half of which were on the road and half on the grass, next to the armored troops, staggering towards us. When I saw the truck coming, a smile appeared on my face and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as we had trucks, we could march faster, and in a few minutes we would be able to return to Mamayev Hill in a smooth way, by which time the Germans would not be able to catch up even if they wanted to.

The truck drove past us, drove forward for some distance, and then began to make a U-turn on the road. The commanders and fighters standing on the road hurriedly moved to both sides of the road to make way for the trucks that came up.

A truck stopped in front of me, the door on the side of the passenger station suddenly opened, and a commander jumped out of it, ran quickly in front of me, and reported to me respectfully after standing upright: "Comrade division commander, I am here to meet you on the orders of the deputy division commander and political commissar, please get in the car?" ”

I raised my hand and patted the other person on the shoulder, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Captain Basmanov." Then he said with a head shake to him. Still stunned for what to do. Don't get in the car yet. ”

The commanders and fighters of the first company of the Dubrovsky battalion on foot were about seventy or eighty people. There are more than a dozen people in a car, which looks extraordinarily loose. When the commanders and fighters finished waiting for the car, Basmanov gave the order, and the convoy began to move forward.

As our truck passed by the armored unit parked on the road, I curiously asked Basmanov, who was sitting next to me: "Comrade Captain, you just said that you came to meet us on the orders of the deputy division commander and political commissar. Where are they now? ”

"Report to the Divisional Commander," heard my question. Basmanov replied respectfully: "They are all waiting for you below the 107.5 heights at the moment." ”

When I heard that Kirillov had come out to meet me, I was so moved that I pretended to be angry so that Basmanov would not notice my excitement: "It's not that I can't find my way, and I need them to meet me." It's okay to wait for me at the division headquarters, why wait for me at the 107.5 heights? Besides, what if our superiors give us orders while they are away? ”

Basmanov was deceived by me, and he was unaware of my anomaly. He replied earnestly: "Comrade division commander, that's right. I went to the 107.5 heights with the deputy division commander. After talking to the commissar on the phone there, the commissar said that there was a chief of staff on duty at the division headquarters, and he could come out to meet you in person. As for why he is waiting for you in front of the 107.5 heights, it is estimated that the political commissar heard that among the returning troops, there is an armored unit formed by captured German tanks and armored vehicles, and he is afraid that the defenders on the high ground will not understand the situation and have a misunderstanding with the returning friendly troops. ”

After listening to Basmanov's words, I couldn't help but nod my head, and secretly praised in my heart that Kirillov had thought it through, if it hadn't been for them personally in front of the high ground, maybe the defenders on the high ground would have found a huge German armored force and opened fire without saying a word. Once a fight breaks out, it is bound to cause unnecessary casualties.

While I was thinking, Basmanov suddenly pointed forward and said to me excitedly: "Comrade division commander, look, the political commissar and the deputy division commander are there. ”

I looked in the direction of his finger, and on the right side of the road ahead, next to the blackened wreckage of several tanks, stood a group of people. Although it is not clear to see their faces, judging by their clothing, it is undoubtedly our own troops. I hurriedly instructed the driver: "Comrade driver, drive ten meters further and stop the car." ”

The driver nodded, and after the truck had moved forward for some distance, it came to a steady stop, and the place was only four or five meters away from the waiting crowd. Basmanov was the first to pull open the car door and jumped, then stood sideways beside the car and held out a hand to me. I grabbed Basmanov's outstretched hand, jumped off the bridge, and walked briskly towards the crowd.

Seeing me get out of the car, the crowd immediately rushed towards me. Before I could see the person on the other side, I heard Kirillov's familiar voice: "Comrade Oshanina, welcome back!" Then a man broke away from the group, came to my side, grabbed my hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Hello, Comrade Political Commissar," I felt a sour nose when I shook Kirillov's hand, but I didn't want to cry in front of so many subordinates, so I tried hard to suppress my feelings and shook Kirillov's hand warmly.

After shaking hands with Bandereev and the rest of the commanders and fighters who were waiting here, Kirillov beckoned me to get into a jeep that had been waiting on the side of the road, because Bandereev wanted to leave behind the armored unit to house Lieutenant Pruli, so he did not return with us.

In the jeep, I asked Kirillov curiously: "Comrade commissar, this jeep looks quite new, where did you get it?" ”

"It was given to us by the Front Command, saying that it was to congratulate our division on winning the Order of the Red Banner." After Kirillov gave a brief introduction to the origin of the jeep, he suddenly turned his face and said to me sternly: "Comrade division commander, I once again ask you not to personally lead the troops on such a dangerous mission in the future, okay?" ”

"Comrade Commissar," I don't know why he said that, so I pretended to be light-hearted, "how can I call this an adventure?" You must know that not only did I consult the group army headquarters in advance, but also the deputy division commander accompanied me. ”

"The command of the army group will not be able to agree to it." Kirilov said reluctantly: "Do you know that after the front army command learned that you personally led your troops north, the commander and the military commissar were furious, and several phone calls a day asked about your situation, and said that if you have anything to do, we will not end well. ”

Kirillov's words stunned me, although I have met with Yeremenko and Khrushchev several times, but the relationship is not very good, how can they be angry at Kirillov for the sake of my little division commander?

Before I could come up with a reason, the jeep had already reached the foot of the hill where the division headquarters was located. Along the trenches, we quickly came to the outside of the division headquarters. Looking at this familiar place, I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart, it was really not easy for me to come back here alive.
