Chapter 41

After seeing off the guerrillas, I went back to the room Panfilov had arranged for me to rest. As soon as he took off his clothes and lay down, there was a knock on the door. I was not satisfied with this untimely man who came to disturb my sleep, so I asked out of the door, "who? What can I do for you“ Major o'shanina, your number! It's from the headquarters of the front army! Emergency call It's bahadu's voice that answers me. It seems that there is something urgent. Otherwise, he would not disturb me so late. I quickly got up from the bed, put on my clothes and opened the door. Bahadu stood outside the door. When he saw me open the door, he immediately stepped back, raised his hand to the hat tightly fastened on his forehead, and reported, "the division headquarters has an emergency call for you. It's from the headquarters of the front army. The division commander asked me to come and ask you to answer the phone at once." I nodded, did not care to talk to him, and almost ran into the division headquarters. The microphone from the phone was on the table. When I came in, Panfilov grabbed it and handed it over. I took the microphone, cleared my throat and said in a loud voice, "Hello, I'm o'shanina! Who is calling, please Immediately I heard the familiar voice of general Zhukov, commander of the front army: "major! I'm sorry to disturb your rest. The headquarters of the front army has made new arrangements for your work. That's why they call you up at this time. "“ I'm at your disposal! Georgi konstantinovic. " Hearing that there is a new appointment, I feel a little uneasy. I don't know where I will be sent this time“ You have to get there as soon as possible. "I can't see. You're not easy." His attitude towards me began to soften“ May I come in? Comrade General A familiar voice came from the gate of the command post. Turning around, I saw that it was Colonel polosucci, whom I knew, followed by a colonel in a black tank uniform“ Come in, and I'll be waiting for you. " "This is major oshanina. She is a special commissioner sent by the headquarters of the front army to assist us in our battle," he said My rank is lower than that of the other two. I stood up to salute them. He took the initiative to greet polosucci: "Hello, Mr. division, we meet again." Polosucci was stunned for a moment, but immediately recognized me, seized my hand and shook it vigorously. Lian said, "welcome to our troops, we can fight side by side in the future." Next to the tank soldier Colonel lightly said: "I am the 20th tank brigade commander Colonel olnenko, welcome you." Then he reached out and gave me a polite shake“ Let's all sit down and discuss how to fight after dawn. " Lelushenka called everyone to sit down again, and then began to carry out tactical deployment“ In the past two days, the German army has advanced three to six kilometers in borojino. It is very difficult for our army's equipment to completely block them, so what we can do now is to delay their advance to Moscow as far as possible, so that the headquarters can have enough time to accumulate strength to fight back. "“ How do you arrange it? Comrade General. " Asked Colonel borosushi“ You should defend the position with your infantry. After the enemy's attack is weakened, ornianko's tank brigade will fight back. "“ I don't have many tanks, "ornianko said stiffly, at least in my opinion, his attitude towards the general was very unfriendly. But after a while, he added, "after a series of battles, there are only 20 tanks left in the brigade, but it's enough for a while." The meeting was soon over. While ornianko and lelushenka continued to talk, I faced the nearby Colonel borosushi and asked curiously, "Colonel, what's the matter with that groom, gasan, that day?"“ He died. He died in battle the day after his wedding. Not only him, but also the soldiers of Azerbaijani company have died. They have been very tenacious in the fight until the last one. " Borosushi answered my question in a somewhat low mood.
