Chapter 272

When from Liuda's mouth, learned the news of Lida's mother and son, the happiest is kiriyanova. Although in 171 will let, she once and real Rita is enemy. But it's the easiest to cultivate friendship on the battlefield. Lida's outstanding performance in several air defense battles has gradually made their relationship harmonious. Although they are not close friends, she can't help but feel sad when she sees that Lida is seriously injured.

At the moment, she is really happy for Lida. Unexpectedly, I am a real fake. She said excitedly, "Lida, since you know the whereabouts of your mother and son, you should go to see them right away."

I looked at her sitting opposite me, smiling and shaking my head, and said, "honey, I'd like to see my mom and kids, too, but it's not the right time. I have more important things to do."

"Comrade major is right! Our main task at present is to protect the ice transport line. You can wait for your spare time and go back to the city to have a look. " The instructor Orlova stood up to support me. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. Then she said, "it's already seven o'clock. You can take advantage of two hours of sleep before dawn." He also said to kiriyanova, "company commander, I'll go out to check the sentry first. You should also take time to have a rest." Then he put on his hat and took Liuda away.

There were two mattresses on the ground of the tent. She pointed to one of them and told me, "Rita, you can sleep here."

After chatting with them all night, I felt a little sleepy at this time. Without being polite to her, I just lay down and covered myself with my military uniform. When I was about to close my eyes and go to bed, I suddenly thought that I would meet with the company commanders of the other two companies later. I told kiriyanova, "honey, I'll sleep for two hours. Please call me later."

"All right." She very readily agreed, also want to lie on the mattress beside me. Suddenly, as if she had found a new world, she gave a cry, which woke me up with a fright. I asked her feebly, "honey, what's the matter with you?"

"Rita, I found out you don't have a watch."

"I never have." It turned out that she was doing it for this reason. It was such a fuss that I wrapped up my military coat and closed my eyes again.

I didn't expect that she gave up her plan to sleep, squatted beside me, gently shook me and said, "Rita, I have an extra watch here. I'll give it to you!" Then she took my hand out from under my coat.

When I opened my eyes, I found on my wrist a man's watch with black patent leather strap. I wonder why she has a man's watch. Is it from her lover? So he asked curiously, "honey, where does this watch come from? If it's from your suitor, I can't have it. "

"No, it was taken from a dead German officer. I have the same one here She also raised her wrist to show me the same style men's watch.

I can't accept it psychologically, but if I want to refuse it directly, I'm afraid of making kiriyanova unhappy. So I deliberately said: "I don't want the dirty things of German devils." Then he raised his other hand to take the watch off.

She took my hand and said, "Rita, it's very inconvenient for me to see that you don't have a watch. You know, a commander can't command a war without a watch. Wear it. When you have a suitable new watch, you can change it. "

Now that kirianova has said this, it's hard to say no more, so I can only accept the gift she gave me.

Before I closed my eyes and went to bed again, I told her to call the other two company commanders and ask them to report back after dawn and report to me about their deployment.

After I told her what I should do, I closed my eyes and went to sleep again. This time, without her interference, I soon fell asleep unconsciously.

When Orlova woke me up, it was already dawn. Kiriyanova, who was lying on the mattress beside her, had already disappeared. I raised my hand and looked at the watch she gave me. The pointer had already pointed to ten o'clock, but the two antiaircraft artillery company leaders of the two had not come to report to me.

I lifted the curtain and went out. After adjusting to the light outside, I finally saw a different scene from last night. The frozen lake is not a vast expanse of open land. Except for the transportation line in the middle, there are icebergs of different sizes all around. Tents, heating sheds and so on are located in the middle of these icebergs.

Moving into the encirclement, one truck after another was loaded with much-needed food and materials in the city. On the other hand, it is a long line of walking. In this long line, there are not only various residents, but also organized troops.

The soldiers who marched across Lake Ladoga on foot walked quite slowly. It seems that the hunger not only weakened the residents of the city, but also made the army not escape the same fate. But when they saw the oncoming car full of bags and canvas, all the people were obviously active, cheerfully shouting: "food is coming, food!..."

"Rita," kirianova said thoughtfully, looking at the people walking on the ice, she didn't know when she came to me. "Do you think your mother and son will also be among the people who have evacuated to the outside of the encirclement?"“ Maybe it will I replied uncertainly. At the same time, I was secretly planning that after Liuda gave me the address, I must find time to go to the car to see Lida's mother and son. It's also a wish that I helped her. When I was thinking about it, suddenly someone was shouting in the distance, because it was too far away, and the wind was too strong outside, I couldn't hear what he was shouting. Kirianova next to me gave me a push. When I noticed her, she said solemnly, "Rita, it's a battle alert! The German planes are bombing again. "
