Chapter 156

Seeing my tears, lesdayev was a little flustered. He stood in front of me at a loss and asked anxiously, "Comrade commander, what's the matter with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden? "

I was suddenly in a better mood when I learned about Lukin and sapochuk. Although I have known a lot of people since I crossed the world, they either separated from me or died. Even the team I tried my best to train for myself was lost after several battles. With Lu Jin's ability and qualifications, I will be able to work as a part-time official after discharge. In the future, I will be able to have two more right-hand assistants. Think of here, my heart can not help but a burst of relaxed, wipe a tear, laugh.

"Nothing. I'm happy." I happily punched lesdayev on the shoulder. "Thank you, lesdayev. I always thought that Lukin and sapochuk had died, but I didn't expect that they were still alive. The news is so happy. "

"It's OK," he said with a smirk. "I saw you burst into tears. I thought something was wrong. I worried for a long time."

"Have you eaten yet?" I don't know what time it is. I'm still used to being polite: "if you don't eat, I'll invite you to the restaurant of the hospital."

"I haven't had lunch yet. I'm a little hungry when you say that. Let's go now." Leisdayev shook his head, and without being polite to me, he turned to the side of his body and made a gesture of please: "I guess you don't know where the restaurant is. I'll show you the way."

The dining room in the hospital is not big. There are only about ten square tables in order. This time should not be the time to eat. There is no one in the dining room. As soon as we went in, a fat old lady in a scarf and apron stood up in the corner of the door. She said to lesdayev, "Comrade commander, I'm sorry. The restaurant is closed now. Please come back in two hours."

Although the old lady ordered us to leave, lesdayev still asked reluctantly, "but I haven't eaten since morning. Can you prepare something for me? Even a few slices of bread will do

"No, nothing." The old lady replied coldly, "Comrade commander, the restaurant is not open now. All the food is sold out."

After listening to the old lady's words, I gave a wry smile and said to lesdayev apologetically, "lesdayev, I'm sorry. I wanted to invite you to eat, but I didn't expect that the restaurant didn't work. I'm so sorry. "

Lesdayev sighed disappointedly and said, "Alas! Forget it. I'd better go back to the garrison headquarters. Comrade commander, let's go. "

"Comrade commander!" The old lady looked me up and down when she heard lesdayev call me like this, and repeated my rank in her mouth. As soon as we turned around and walked out, the old lady suddenly called out, "please wait a moment."

We stopped and looked back at the old lady. The old lady stood in front of me and asked me tentatively, "are you commander o'shanina?"

"Yes." I looked at her in surprise and wondered how she would know who I was.

"I'm sorry, comrade commander!" The old lady apologized to me and said, "I didn't recognize you when you were wearing a medical suit."

"It doesn't matter. There's no military rank mark on the patient's suit. It's normal not to recognize it." I said to the old lady in a friendly way, "we just wanted to have something to eat, but we didn't expect that the restaurant was closed. Alas, it's a pity. Let's go first and come back later. Goodbye

After that, I was ready to leave again. The old lady had grabbed my right arm and led me to the restaurant. As she walked, she said, "come with me, girl. It's not easy for you to come here. How can you go back hungry? " After a few steps, he yelled at lesdayev who was still standing there: "I said, comrade commander, what are you doing standing there? Do you want to stand there like a capitalist master, waiting for the servant to bring the food to you on a plate? "

In the kind laughter of the old lady and I, lesdayev laughed sheepishly, raised his foot and caught up with me.

The old lady put us at a table and went to the kitchen to get food for us. Looking at the old lady's back, lesdayev said with emotion: "it seems that you still have a big face. Even the restaurant that is closed can make an exception to provide services for you."

I'm also at a loss. I don't understand why when the old lady hears my rank, her attitude will suddenly turn 180 degrees. She just smiles and doesn't speak.

Lesdayev suddenly asked, "have you been in the 316 infantry division all this time?"

"Yes, since I led the independent battalion to recover the station, I have been responsible for the defense of the area. On the night before the October Revolution Festival, I received an order from the division headquarters to lead a mixed battalion composed of officers from various divisions to red square for a military parade with instructor kroshkov

"Wait a minute," he interrupted me and said, "you mean you also led the troops to the Red Square parade?"

"Yes." It seems to me that he wants to express something, especially when he said "Ye" just now. Did his troops also participate in the famous military parade? Thinking of this, he asked curiously, "why did you say 'Ye'? Were you in the receiving army at that time?"

He shook his head dejectedly and said, "that day, my army was under martial law in the street near Red Square. It's a pity that I missed the chance to see Comrade Stalin with my own eyes."“ It doesn't matter! " I comforted him and said, "I didn't see you this time. I'll have another chance next time. Besides, when you work in the garrison headquarters, you have a much better chance of meeting comrade Stalin than our field forces. "“ "By the way," he changed the subject and asked, "how have they been? Are they still at the station? I haven't seen them for a long time. I miss them very much. " My smile suddenly froze on my face, and my mind immediately recalled the body of filstov that was hanging on the flagpole and swaying in the wind. My nose was sour, and tears almost came down again. After a while, I managed to stabilize myself, looked at the ceiling, and said, "they all died! He died bravely in the battle to defend the station. Besides felstov and Pavlov, aguminte and Aji also died. After recovering the station, our army heard from the captured German officers and men that felstov had blown up a German tank while he was seriously injured. In anger, the German commander ordered him to be hanged on the flagpole of the station When he heard that the German army was treating his comrades in arms in such a way, lesdayev was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table and said with gnashing teeth, "these damned bandits, I want you to pay for your blood!"“ What's the matter? " The old lady, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the loud noise of the dining room and ran out to have a look“ It's OK, it's OK! " I quickly turned and waved to the old lady, said: "we are chatting, major comrades a little excited, patted the table, startled you, I'm sorry."“ It'll be in a minute. " The old lady said this and flashed into the kitchen again. Looking at the emotional lesdayev in front of me, I said slowly: "this is the war. If we want to no longer lose our friends and relatives, we must first defeat these aggressors."“ Comrade commander, I've kept you waiting for a long time. " The old lady's loud voice came from the kitchen, and then she came out with a tray. When she came to our table, she held the tray with her left hand and put everything on the table with her right hand. In addition to two plates of baked potatoes, a plate of bread and a bowl of red vegetable soup, there was a steaming roast with tomato juice and fresh shredded onion. After the old lady set the meal, she put the tray on the next table, then made a gesture of "please eat, comrade commander. You must be hungry. " Lesdayev was not polite either. He took a piece of bread in his left hand and bit it hard. Before he put it down, he forked the potatoes on the plate and said vaguely, "I haven't eaten all day. I'm really hungry." I really want to know how the old lady knows my identity, so instead of eating immediately, I asked her to sit down next to me, and then asked curiously, "old lady, how do you know my name?" The old lady first pushed another plate of potatoes in front of me, and then said, "the hospital informed us yesterday that there was a female lieutenant colonel who was here for treatment. Let's help her at any time. I heard the commander call you Comrade commander just now, and I guessed it was you. And I've heard a lot about you... "What's the story?" Listening to the old lady's words, I became more and more curious. I didn't expect that I was a little famous now. Actually, someone started to recite my story“ He said that you once led a small team to go deep into the enemy's rear to carry out dangerous reconnaissance missions. On the way back, he took in a large number of scattered soldiers and formed an army. When fighting with the Germans who attacked the city, they went to the front line to fight face to face with the enemy, and forced an enemy force to surrender to you. " What the old lady said was brief, but it was true. However, it was impossible to report these things in the newspaper. How did she know? I looked at the old lady puzzled and asked, "who did you listen to what you said?"“ My son“ Your son? "“ Yes The old lady said with pride, "he used to be in the independent camp. He was your company commander."“ My company commander? " I couldn't help looking at the opposite lesdayev. He had half a potato in his mouth and was staring at the old lady. Judging from the old lady's attitude towards him just now, they are definitely not mother son relationship, so who is her son? I recited the names of several company commanders of the independent battalion at that time, and then tentatively asked, "who is your son, please? Lukin or sapochuk? " The old lady shook her head and said, "none of them are. My son's name is issayev. He is your artillery company commander."“ Ishayev The potato in lesdayev's mouth fell into the plate with a click. He stood up with me and asked the old lady in one voice, "is issayev your son? Where is he now? Is he still alive? "
