Chapter 157

November 22 is my lucky day.

First, he met lesdayev, whom he had not met for a long time, and learned from him the good news that Lukin and sapochuk were still in the world. What's more surprising is that in the restaurant of the hospital, I met the mother of former artillery company commander isayev. I knew that isayev was lucky to survive and was recovering in a military hospital in Moscow.

The old lady brought us a pot of tea from the kitchen and poured it for both of us before she sat down beside me. Because of the common topic of issayev, we are not so formal and chatting freely.

"Mom, Cheka," said lesdayev with a sweet mouth. He immediately called the old lady with a nickname, which made the old man smile. Then he asked, "tell us about issayev quickly."

"Well, tell us how he came back to Moscow. Is he seriously injured?" I also agreed that I had hardly seen issayev since the recovery of the station. As for when he was transported back to Moscow as a wounded, I had no idea. It can be seen how incompetent a commander like me is.

"That day, just in time for my rest, in response to the call of the Soviet business labor, I was not idle, and the remaining women in the residential building dug trenches in the community. Suddenly, a strange voice asked aloud, "excuse me, is there any relative of Comrade issayev here?"

We were stunned. Qi Qi looked at the speaker. It turned out that a woman dressed as a government worker was standing above the trench‘ He is the civil affairs assistant of the district Soviet. " Hearing this, I felt my heart sank suddenly. My heart said that my son isayev had died. I just felt as if my whole strength had been taken away, and I just sat down in the trench.

"Who are the relatives of Comrade issayev?" The staff member asked again, with a trace of impatience.

All the people didn't speak, just looked at me.

Holding the moat wall, I tried to stand up. Only half of the time I got up, I fell to the ground again. When a neighbor came by and helped me, I got up with difficulty. I hobbled to the man and came to her. I answered her in a slightly changed voice: "I'm isayev's mother."

The staff took out an envelope from her briefcase, squatted down and handed it to me. I took the envelope, but I didn't have the courage to open it, so I gave it back to the staff and begged her to read it for me.

Originally, I thought it was the death notice of my son isayev. Unexpectedly, my son was injured and was recovering in XX military hospital. I was informed to visit him. The notice also said that due to Comrade issayev's heroic performance in the battle, the higher authorities awarded him a medal for bravery and promoted him to the rank of lieutenant. "

Hearing this, lesdayev excitedly said to me, "do you hear me? Comrade commander, isayev has also won the rank of lieutenant. " I looked at him and nodded. I didn't speak. I said in my heart that during the war, promotion is always the fastest. Don't you become a major.

The old lady then said, "I'll go to the military hospital where my son is recovering according to the address on the notice. When I first saw my son, he was covered with bandages stained with blood on his body and head. He looked like he was dying of serious injury, which scared me. But when he spoke, he found that he was in good spirits. Later, when I asked the doctor, I found out that he was only suffering from skin injury, and the injury was not as serious as it seemed.

I stayed with my son in front of his bed and listened to him talk about his fighting experience. He told me that his unit had been broken up by the German forces in borojino when he escaped alone. I met the platoon leader of felstov in the forest and moved to the rear with them.

On the way to transfer, I met the reconnaissance unit led by you. As you are the commander of the highest rank, it is natural for you to take over the command of the whole army. When you first accepted the army, he looked down on you. He thought that what kind of war a woman would fight might soon make everyone a prisoner.

But in the battle of attacking the station, I saw you take the lead, waving a submachine gun and charging with the soldiers; When holding the position, he was not afraid of the bullets whizzing over his head. He stayed at the forefront all the time. Like an ordinary soldier, he took up his gun and fought face to face with the German. Only then did he admire you so much. "

The old lady is really talkative. She has been talking almost all afternoon. Lesdayev and I don't even have a chance to interrupt. If the waiter didn't come back to work to prepare dinner for the wounded, I don't know when she would have said that.

I sent lesdayev away and went back to my own ward. As soon as I pushed the door, I saw the beautiful nurse circling in the room. I closed the door and asked jokingly, "what's the matter with you, nurse? How can you go around like a lion in a cage? "

The nurse heard my voice, stopped and asked angrily, "Comrade commander, where have you been? I almost searched the whole hospital and didn't see you. I thought something was wrong with you. "

I said with a smile, "what can happen to me? What can I do for you in such a hurry?"

"It's time to change the dressing," he then gave me an order and said, "go to bed and I'll change the dressing for you."

With the help of the nurse, I took off my hospital uniform and lay naked on the bed. She took off the bandage carefully to change the dressing for me. When I cleaned the wound with alcohol, I felt cool without any pain. It seemed that the wound had almost healed.

After changing the medicine for injection, she covered the quilt for me and said, "Comrade commander, have a good rest. Don't run around any more." Then he came out of the room with a tray full of bottles and cans.

She gave me the injection, it is estimated that there are sedative ingredients, not a moment later, I feel more and more heavy eyelids, gradually unable to open their eyes, soon unconsciously fell asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, I feel my body floating up, floating out of the room, floating out of the city, floating to the raging battlefield. Looking down from high altitude, in the open land in the middle of the boundless forest, there are fierce battles everywhere. Countless shells exploded in the positions of both sides, and the smoke was dispersed by the wind, forming a smoke area on the battlefield.

I continued to drift deep into the Soviet army and soon came to the top of a village. There is a T-34 tank in the west of the village. Several tankers are sitting on the tank, smoking and chatting with each other. Except for them, there are no soldiers of our army around. There is a big wooden sign at the entrance of the village, on which there is a place name written in Black: "peshki village".

There seems to be a lot of people in the wooden room next to the tank. I floated over curiously to see what happened. There was a lot of noise in the room. Let's discuss and analyze the situation. I looked at the people present. I knew almost all the senior commanders, except the commander of the 16th group army, rokosovsky and the chief of staff, malining, as well as general kamela and general kurkin from the headquarters of the front army. From their conversation, I knew that these people were originally sent by Zhukov to investigate the situation.

At this time, general Carmela stood up and said loudly to the people present: "comrades of the front command, there is no need to discuss any more. General rokosovsky, who is responsible for defending this area, has arrived. Let's not hinder him from commanding the battle any more, let's go!" With that, he went to shake hands with handsome Luo and left with the investigation team of the headquarters of the front army.

I followed them through the village and came to the south of the village. I found that there were more than 20 cars, large and small, parked in the middle of the building. A group of drivers had been chatting together. When they saw the commander coming, they quickly dispersed and stood at attention. The drivers from the headquarters of the front army saluted and rushed to open the door and ask their commanders to get on the bus.

Watching the convoy of the investigation team of the front army command go away, I went back to the wooden house where rokosovsky was. At this time, the commander, the chief of staff, and the staff of the headquarters were analyzing the war situation. According to various indications, some troops of the eighth division of the guards have arrived in the forest five or six kilometers north of the village, while other troops are still fighting and withdrawing, and have not entered the designated defense area for the time being.

When we were studying the situation of the enemy and ourselves, there was a loud noise, which startled us. Looking back at the direction of the sound, we found that a German tank shell had penetrated the wall and fell into the room. Fortunately, the shell did not explode.

Rokosovsky turned to a commander and asked him anxiously, "Comrade commander, where are your tanks? What are your tank soldiers doing? How can the German army easily touch the outside of the village, and no one issued a battle alarm. "

The tank commander's reply surprised everyone: "sorry, comrade commander! I left two tanks for the infantry in the northern position of the village, and the rest went to durekino to refuel. "

"What?" Malining slapped the table and was so angry that he scolded: "nonsense! It's nonsense

Rokosovsky is still trying to keep calm, lightly asked the tank commander: "are you sure these two tanks left for infantry are still in the position, did not go to refuel?"

The tank commander seemed blind, he argued: "according to the doctrine, in war, it is generally from the rear to deliver oil to the tank, rather than from the front to deliver oil to the tank. I've been sending tanks to refuel ever since I received the order to transfer all the tanks to peshkey

"Report!" A combat staff officer pushed open the door and rushed in, reporting to rokosovsky in a loud voice: "report, comrade commander! German tanks rushed down the road into the village, and stormtroopers advanced in all directions of the village, shooting at houses. In three minutes at most, the German tanks will come to us. "

Rokosovsky was surprised and asked the commanders in the field, "where are our troops blocking the road? And where is our car and is it still in good condition? "

"Comrade commander," said the chief of staff, malining, melancholy, "at this time, we can only gamble our luck."

"Let's go!" Rokosovsky called out, and then took everyone out of the wooden house and looked around. Over the village, there were shells flying around from time to time, falling in front of them and on both sides of them. Some shells roared past, but landed gently; Some shells fell on buildings or walls, but did not explode. I fixed my eyes on it. It turned out that these were fake bullets fired by German tanks.

The T-34 tank is still parked next to the house. The tank commander advised rokosovsky to sit in the tank. However, rokosovsky ordered him to take this tank to find his own troops immediately, and command the tank troops to cover the road, so as not to let the enemy continue to advance along the railway. We should know that the railway crosses the Leningrad road 6-8 kilometers south of peshki. They evacuated with 12 people, kept within sight of each other, and quietly walked to the south of the village. The T-34 tank, on the other hand, drove West with full strength, attracting the enemy's attention. The tank driver's technology is very good, his tank in the enemy's heavy fire, quickly disappeared from our view. And rokosovsky, they are carefully along the street to the south of the village, and soon found their own car. Those drivers who are waiting anxiously here, seeing the arrival of the commanders, immediately rush to their cars, open the doors and ask them to get on and run for their lives. As there was no defense from our army in the north of the village, the German army was able to drive straight in and quickly break into the village. The German tanks took the lead and rushed to the front of the whole army. When they saw rokosovsky's motorcade, they immediately increased their horsepower to catch up. I can't help but cry out with worry when I see rokosovsky and their situation is dangerous.
