Chapter 46

There was a heavy snow at night, and a piercing wind was blowing on the snowy plain. The German troops were disrupted by our counterattack, and the sudden bad weather forced them to suspend their offensive in the direction of borojino. There was no war in the morning. I was organizing a team to rush to repair and reinforce the fortifications to cope with a new round of German offensive that might be launched at any time. Colonel borosushi sent someone to inform me that there was a phone call for me in the headquarters and asked me to answer it as soon as possible. When I heard this news, I immediately informed my soldiers and walked along the traffic ditch to the new headquarters. At the entrance, there was a sentry, wearing a short fur coat and a submachine gun on his chest, stamping his feet in place. After seeing me, he stood at attention and saluted. The walls and ceiling of the headquarters were covered with planks. Along one side of the wall lay a few benches, and in the middle was a wooden table with a battle map and two telephones. Polosucci was on the phone with one of them. He saw me go in, nodded to me, and then said to the microphone, "Comrade General, major oshanina is coming." Then he handed me the microphone. I answered the phone and heard Zhukov's familiar voice: "is that Rita?" He quickly replied, "it's me, Comrade General."“ Well done! Because you have grasped the fighter plane in time, you have successfully counterattacked the enemy and disrupted their overall deployment. Today, the German attack on Moscow has weakened in several other directions. According to the investigation, they are readjusting their forces and preparing to launch a large-scale attack on borojino again. "“ Comrade general, please rest assured that we are well prepared for all battles. " When I said this, I relied on the weak light in the room to observe whether the headquarters was built firmly. First I looked at how the cladding of the wall was made, and then I studied the ceiling and the pillars supporting it. I thought that if the shell exploded in the approaching place, would its fastness stand? What I just said to Zhukov was just a few cliches. I knew as well as he did. People who came to hear the news gathered around me, but I stood in a daze, wondering if I would have the courage to shoot myself in the head if all the troops I led were killed“ What's going on? Where to shoot? " Zhukov's voice rang out behind me, and the lieutenant standing beside me who had never moved quickly replied, "Comrade General, it's major general Smirnov, the principal of podolisk Infantry School, who shot himself."“ Suicide? " Zhukov was furious and angry with the Lieutenant: "when did he come to the headquarters of the front army? Why didn't anyone report to me? And why did he commit suicide? "“ I'm sorry, Comrade General. " The lieutenant quickly defended himself and said, "when he came, you were busy, so I didn't disturb you. As for why suicide? Maybe it's because all his students have died. He can't stand the stimulation. He just chose to take this step when he can't think about it. "“ Shut up Zhukov blushed and roared: "why didn't he report to me immediately after he came? If he could see me, maybe he would not go this way. Now, you hand over your work to others, and then go to the front line immediately to experience the life and death parting between your comrades in arms on the battlefield“ Yes The tearful Lieutenant agreed, put on his cornice hat, saluted Zhukov, and walked out of the corridor with great strides“ Rita, "Zhukov said to me with a wry smile," you go to the logistics department to find a coffin, gather up the remains of major general Smirnov, and then arrange to send someone back to Moscow. "“ Yes I raised my hand to salute. Then I walked along the corridor through the crowd. Finally, I had a look at the major general sitting on the ground against the wall. Then I went to the Logistics Department of the front army to find the quartermaster to arrange his affairs. Welcome to our website www.start.com.
