Chapter 13

At night, we did everything, except for leaving a few sentries on duty, the rest of us went back to the cabin.

More than twenty female soldiers and I sat around the big wooden table. The food and tableware had been set, and the hot soup had been put on the plate. I've only had a few slices of black bread since morning, and I feel so hungry that my hands and feet are soft.

Karenina poured a dark red liquid into the enamel teapot in front of everyone. When it was my turn to come here, I quickly covered the mouth of the cup with my hand, waved my hand and said, "no, no, I don't drink."

"Comrade lieutenant, it's not wine, it's just juice." I heard it was juice, so I didn't refuse any more. I moved my hand from the mouth of the cup and let her pour me a full cup.

"Raise your glasses." Karenina began to pay tribute to the wine: "for us to fight back the German Devils today, for Rita to become a lieutenant, let's have a drink."

"Cheers I picked up the teapot, yelled and touched the cups one by one, then took a big drink. The taste of the juice is sour, slightly sweet, but I also feel a spicy taste. I cried in my heart that I had been in Russia for so many years, but I forgot that they all drank alcoholic fruit wine as fruit juice. After a short period of time, I felt that my cheeks were hot, my whole body was soft, and I felt drowsy.

"Let's dance." Suddenly a female soldier suggested. Everyone immediately became active, and the house suddenly became a magpie nest. I saw Jenna stabbing Karenina quietly, indicating that she would ask me for advice.

"Be quiet, everyone. Who's talking about the ball?" Karenina stood up and said solemnly to the women soldiers, "this proposal will not be adopted without the permission of the commander."

After listening to her words, the girls who were just chirping closed their mouths and looked at each other. Then they turned their eyes to me. I know that in this era of lack of entertainment life, there is no TV, computer and other things that can be used to amuse boring time, so we should take a supportive attitude towards this kind of spontaneous entertainment program of female soldiers. So I stood up with the table and said to all the people in the room, "girls, don't stand still. The dance is now on. Let's jump up!"

The soldiers cheered, folded up the big wooden table and moved it to the corner. A wide area suddenly appeared in the middle of the room. I am weak, sitting in the corner chair, watching them busy back and forth.

Lena, the woman soldier who helped me carry soap last night, did not know where to turn out an accordion and pulled it up. With the melodious sound of the piano, a beautiful song suddenly sounded in the room. It was my familiar "Cranberry blossoms". Emotion is a popular song of this era.

At the end of the song, Karenina suddenly proposed to everyone: "next, let's ask our lieutenant to sing a song for me. Do you agree?"

"Good The women soldiers cheered in unison.

I was in a cold sweat. If it were Russian songs, I would be able to sing "Cranberry blossom", "night outside Moscow", "Katyusha" and so on. Unfortunately, I can only sing Chinese, not Russian. The only Russian song I can sing is the once popular song "to marry someone is to marry a man like Putin". On such an occasion, I dare not sing it. I could only wave my hands and say vaguely, "I'm sorry, girls. I'm too drunk to sing. I'll talk about it another day."

Still, the women didn't embarrass me. Karenina grabbed narissa and took the lead. The women soldiers, who had been itching for a long time, entered the primitive dance floor one after another and danced with the music. The room immediately became a sea of joy.

Jeanne didn't go dancing, but sat by my side with me. She suddenly asked me, "Comrade lieutenant, when I was flying a German reconnaissance plane in the morning, I seemed to hear you shout something, but I didn't understand it."

"Oh," she said, and I remembered that I couldn't help shouting in Chinese. I hesitated for a moment, or make up a reason to explain to her: "I called a Chinese sentence."

"Chinese?" She then asked curiously, "what does that mean? Where did you learn Chinese? "

"In Russian, it's" clothes are wumier. "The reason why I want to explain to her is that there is a man who shares a room with me in later generations. He likes to talk in his sleep at night. When he talks in his sleep, he usually uses Chinese and Russian alternately. I'm afraid that when I'm talking in my sleep, there will be such a mix of Chinese and Russian. Instead of arousing other people's suspicion, I'd better find a reason to cover up the truth as soon as possible“ In the school where I used to study, there was an old school worker who was a Chinese who had participated in the October Revolution. I know him very well, so I learned some Chinese from him. "

"Oh." Jenna put on a sudden appearance.

My head more and more dizzy, in front of the characters began to become fuzzy, side Jeanne's voice also seems to come from a distant place, I finally fell asleep unconsciously.

By the time I woke up, it was already bright. As soon as I got out of the cabin, the sentry who was in charge of duty came to me last night and reported to me, "Comrade lieutenant, come and see, there are troops mobilized under the cliff."

"Is it the German army?" I was so surprised that I thought it was the German army that was going around quietly in the dark“ No, "he said The sentry's face was full of joy: "it's our army." The road under the cliff is marching with a large number of people. On the road and roadside, there are soldiers in line or single line, as well as military trucks, artillery cars and even tanks. I watched with a very calm telescope what was going on below. These troops were dispersing along the side roads to the front lines on both sides of the road. In any case, it's a pleasure to see this huge team, artillery and tanks“ How exciting Suddenly there was Karenina's voice. I turned to see that she didn't know when she was standing beside me and was looking excitedly at the passing team. According to my recent habit, I raised my eyes and looked up at the sky, thinking: if we mobilize troops on a large scale in broad daylight, will we be attacked by the German air force? But today's sky is gloomy, heavy clouds are low, and the rain has fallen down. I guess it's mostly for this reason that Zhukov took the risk of continuing to move the team in broad daylight. What team is this? As I looked at it, I guessed whether they were transferred from other parts of the front line or from the reserve team transferred from the headquarters? But there is no doubt about the fact that the Soviet army has concentrated a large number of troops on the prkovo line. According to the known outcome, I know clearly that the German army's attack on the Highlands will end in failure. They will be defeated by the Soviet army and defeated by a devastating counterattack“ You see, comrade lieutenant, that's a sailor! " Karenina pointed down to me excitedly. I looked in the direction of her fingers, and sure enough, I saw several groups of soldiers in blue and white striped shirts and a kind of black uniform marching bravely. These should be the Marines drawn from the warships. I thought about it. Although today's weather is not suitable for the plane to take off, I still can't take it lightly. Then he put down his telescope and said to Karenina beside him, "send out the battle alarm and inform all the soldiers to enter the gun position. We should prepare for air defense in case the German Air Force launches a surprise attack on the troops behind us." Karenina agreed and was about to walk away when a man's voice came out behind her: "girls, where's your commander?" I turned around and saw a second lieutenant in a brand-new uniform and shining boots coming towards us. When he came to us, he looked at the ranks of Karenina and me, and saw that we were both sergeants, so he gave a frivolous whistle: "Hello, beauty, where's your commander?" I gave him a scornful look, and then asked, "I'm lieutenant o'shanina, the commander of the anti-aircraft machine gun company. Who are you?" When he heard that I had reported my family, he quickly straightened up and saluted me. He replied in a flurried way, "sorry, comrade lieutenant, you are still wearing the sergeant's uniform, so I didn't expect you to be the commander." After a pause, he calmed down and said, "I'm lieutenant sapchenko from the air defense command. I've been ordered to be your deputy. The antiaircraft artillery of the two platoons are also in position, ready to enter the position at any time. "
