When Lieutenant Colonel Serebryavko walked out of the headquarters, the commissar asked me with a serious expression: "Comrade Lida, now that the troops at the front are seriously insufficient, we should not be so selfish and leave a company of fighters to protect our own safety." ”

I smiled bitterly, thinking to myself that this commissar really doesn't have a long memory, and General Panfilov's bones are not cold, and he will heal the scars and forget the pain. If the guard is not strengthened, the enemy will dismiss the command, and the team that has lost its command will be in a mess, and the enemy can easily defeat or eliminate them.

Before I could speak, the political commissar continued: "Actually, the guard work of the division headquarters is completely done by drawing people from the logistics organs, which we used to do. ”

No wonder the division commander will be sacrificed, and the guard platoon will be almost completely wiped out, because it is influenced by your erroneous thinking. Although I was particularly dissatisfied with him in my heart, I still had to explain to him: "The commanders and fighters of the logistics organs lack combat experience and are not well equipped, so it is easy to suffer big losses once they fight......

"But our warriors were valiant, and not a single one of them retreated timidly in the face of a ferocious enemy." As I spoke, the political commissar actually raised the bar with me.

"Our commanders and fighters raised their pistols to fight the enemy with submachine guns and machine guns, and it was not a level of competition at all. The pistol only shoots once, and the opponent can shoot a volley of bullets. Not to mention our inexperienced logistics personnel, even Rambo is here, and if you ask him to take a pistol and fight an enemy armed to the teeth, he will still be shot into a sieve. ”

"Rambo?! Who is Rambo? The commissar asked curiously.

Although the temperature in the room was very low, listening to the political commissar's question, I was so scared that cold sweat broke out. I replied with a squeak: "Rambo, Rambo should be a legendary god of war, he is said to be a heroic figure who cannot be killed." ”

"Really?" The commissar said in a skeptical tone: "Is it a legendary figure of that country, Greece, Rome or Persia, how come I have never heard of this person?" ……”

"Report, can I come in?" The sound of a report from the door interrupted the words of the commissar and directly relieved me.

"Come in." When I saw that it was Lieutenant Ramis who was shouting the report, I asked him with a smile, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Report to the division commander and comrade political commissar, in order to prevent another sneak attack by the German army, I have already arranged sufficient fire points and guard posts near the division headquarters. I'm here to ask, is there anything else I need to do? ”

"What happens to the bodies of the fallen soldiers?" The commissar asked with a blank face.

"They have been buried in the forest, and they have been marked, and their graves will be relocated when the fighting is over."

"Well done." I went up and patted him on the shoulder, and then said, "You can go out, and if there's anything, I'll call you again." ”

"Yes." Ramis saluted and left the headquarters.

The commissar and I sat at the table and looked at each other, neither of us spoke, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely dull for a while. I was about to speak, when the wound on my shoulder suddenly hurt without warning, and I gasped in pain. The political commissar on the opposite side saw it and immediately asked with concern: "Lida, what's wrong with you, is the wound hurting again?" ”

"Uh-huh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!" I wanted to grit my teeth and persevere, but the pain that pierced my heart still made me cry out.

"Come, go to bed and lie down and rest, it will be fine soon." The commissar came up to me and helped me and told me to lie down on the marching bed by the wall and rest. I looked at the bed where the body of General Panfilov had been placed not long ago, and I could not help but hesitate, but I could not stand the concern of the political commissar, so I had to close my eyes and lie down obediently.

My left shoulder was injured, and I was afraid that sleeping would be a pressure on the wound, so I had to sleep on my right side. Although I stayed up late last night and tried to close my eyes, the pain made me unable to sleep at all.

I don't know how long I lay in bed, but I couldn't sleep because of the pain, so I simply sat up. Sitting up and looking around, he found that the political commissar was not in the room, and he didn't know where he would run at this time.

I was alone in the headquarters, and now I was sitting in the place where the dead had been lying, and I couldn't help but feel a little hairy in my heart, and the pain of the wound made me restless, so I simply went out for a walk to see how the situation was outside.

As soon as I walked to the door, I met the political commissar who was about to enter the door. When he saw me, he asked in surprise, "Lida, why did you get up and not sleep longer?" ”

"How's the situation with the troops?" Instead of answering his questions, I asked myself what I cared about.

"According to the latest information, the 1073rd and 1075th regiments are withdrawing from the city in an orderly manner, and the 1077th regiment is also broken into pieces, scattered to the city in company and platoon, and engaged in street fighting with the Germans."

I still stood at the door, and continued to ask: "The troops did not suffer any losses during the retreat, right?" ”

"Nope." The commissar shook his head and said, "The Germans did not expect that we would suddenly abandon our positions, and they were afraid that this was a trap we had set for them, so the Germans in the south and west had temporarily stopped attacking. ”

I listened closely, and there was only a sparse sound of gunfire in the city in the distance, and it was mainly concentrated on the north side of the original 1077th regiment defense, and as the political commissar said, there was no movement in the southwest two directions.

"Let's go in," the commissar said on his own initiative, "and we can get in touch with all the troops by phone." ”

"Okay." I said yes and followed the commissar into the headquarters.

Sitting down at the table again, the political commissar asked me again: "Lida, have you reported your combat deployment to your superiors?" If you don't get their approval, if you make any mistakes, you will lose your head. ”

Hearing what the political commissar said, it scared me out of a cold sweat again, yes, I moved troops without asking for instructions, and it is reasonable to say that I won the battle, and if I want to lose the battle and lose Volosramsk, it is estimated that even Zhukov will not be able to protect me. Thinking of this, I hurriedly picked up the telephone microphone on the table and asked the political commissar to help me with the handle, wanting to quickly report my combat deployment to Lu Shang.

Before I could get on the phone, the gunfire outside suddenly intensified. I hurriedly put down the phone and rushed out of the house first, looking out in the direction of the city. Hearing the dense explosions, seeing the fires rising from time to time and the smoke covering the sky, I can't help but sink my heart, the German army is actually carrying out a fierce artillery bombardment of the city, and the density of the shelling is still so large, so what happened to the retreating our troops, will they suffer heavy losses?
