Chapter 282

Just now, when the lieutenant of the road guard asked me how to deal with the prisoners, I tried to save trouble and let him all be shot. But now that his immediate superiors are here, it's none of my business to deal with the prisoners.

Without waiting for my command, the lieutenant trotted all the way to lieutenant colonel Harpy, raised his hand at attention and reported respectfully what had just happened.

I looked at Lieutenant Baku, who stood upright in front of me, and pretended to be straight faced and said seriously, "Comrade lieutenant, you are too slow! You see, after all the battles have been cleaned up, you and your subordinates appear on the battlefield. If you had been earlier, maybe you would have captured a few more prisoners. "

Perhaps he heard that my address to him was "you" instead of "you", and his tone was business like. He could not help but feel a little flustered and explained: "report major, as soon as I got the notice from the soldier Naya, I rushed to support him with the people I could call. As you know, the speed of moving on ice will be affected... "

I couldn't help laughing when I saw his nervous and helpless face. Baku realized that I was joking with him, and he laughed awkwardly with me twice. Then he asked, "Comrade major, are you here to inspect our company's defense?"

"Yes, if I hadn't been attacked by German soldiers just now, I would have been in your company's station by now."

"Then go now," Baku said enthusiastically. "The soldiers and I will show you the way."

Seeing that sapchenko was still standing next to me, I reached out to shake hands with him and said in a friendly way, "Lieutenant sapchenko, thank you for your help today. Only in this way can we eliminate these annoying Germans. Goodbye, see you later! "

The second lieutenant shook my hand a few times and said, "you're very polite. In fact, it's your initiative to use antiaircraft machine gun to hit tanks and armored vehicles. Goodbye and good luck

Lieutenant Baku and I, as they left, saw Colonel harpy's eyes coming towards me, and raised our hands to salute him from a distance. He watched our team leave, and I caught a glimpse of him grinning up slightly as he returned the salute.

On the way to bakulian station, I took Naya's little hand and asked her with concern, "Naya, are you still afraid?" I was really impressed by her performance just now.

Naya didn't say a word. In a moment, she whispered, "I'm not afraid! Rita

I nodded, did not speak, just with the other hand gently patted the back of her hand.

After songkainaya's hand, Baku and I walked side by side. On the way, we told him my air defense plan. After he returned to the station, we arranged to set up air defense sentries as soon as possible.

When I arrived at the station of the second company, accompanied by Baku, I checked the adjusted antiaircraft gun positions, chatted with some soldiers about their family customs, and praised those soldiers who shot down enemy planes and captured prisoners. Finally, in the case of everyone's happiness, we had a simple dinner in advance, and then set foot on the way home with Naya.

Passing the place where the fighting just happened, there were many trucks with awnings and several ambulances marked with Red Cross. A group of soldiers are busy, not only the soldiers but also the wounded civilians are all carried to the ambulance, and the remains of soldiers and civilians are thrown into the truck with awning.

We were passing by these vehicles when we heard someone shouting, "Comrade major, please wait!" I turned and saw that it was the lieutenant who had fought side by side, so I stopped and waited for him to come.

The lieutenant ran to me, saluted and asked tentatively, "Comrade major, are you going back to the antiaircraft artillery camp?"

As for how he knew that I was the commander of the antiaircraft artillery battalion, I could think with my toes that Lt. Col. harpy told him, but I was surprised why he would ask me if I was going back to the station. Was he going to drive me and Naya back? I didn't speak, just nodded in affirmation.

"That's great! Major, I've been ordered to drive you back to the station, and the commander of the convoy, Lieutenant Colonel habi, wants to see you The lieutenant straightened his back and said, "please wait a moment with your female soldiers. I'll go and explain my work."

If we could have a car, Naya and I would be able to walk less than an hour. This is what we can't wait for. I didn't object, so I nodded and agreed.

The lieutenant ran to the middle of the soldiers, called an officer and gave orders. Then he ran to me and said, "Comrade major, please follow me. The car is in front of me."

There was an empty truck in front of him. The lieutenant drove the driver down and sat on the bridge to ask me and Naya to get on the bus. Naya opened the door and let me in first. After I sat down, she followed and closed the door.

While the car was driving, I couldn't help asking the lieutenant, "Comrade lieutenant, have you interrogated the prisoner just now?"

"I've interrogated the soldiers who understand German. These two armored vehicles got lost in the process of patrol and ran into our ice transportation line by mistake. Originally, they found our army activities nearby and planned to leave immediately, but one of the armored vehicles was stuck in the ice for some reason. The other one hung on the traction rope and tried to pull it away. As a result, there was too much movement, which alerted the soldiers on duty of the road protection team and triggered the battle. "

I said, and then asked, "how are our casualties?"“ The casualties were not small, "the lieutenant hesitated when he said this question, but after seeing the rank on the red diamond on my coat collar, he continued to say," according to preliminary statistics, 15 soldiers of the road convoy were killed, 21 were injured, 8 drivers and escorts of the transport team were killed and 19 were injured. More civilian casualties, 35 dead and 49 wounded. " When I counted the numbers, I was startled. My God! Only a small German army without heavy weapons was wiped out, while the Soviet army paid three times as much as the enemy. If we meet a large German army with heavy weapons, we don't know how many people will be killed. Just as he was daydreaming, the lieutenant drove to a tent by the side of the road and stopped. Then he pointed to the tent and said to me, "Comrade major, commander habi's command post is here." I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It hasn't been more than ten minutes since I got on the bus. Naya and I just walked for more than an hour. These four wheels are faster than two legs. After getting out of the car, I told Naya to go back to the camp and report to kirianova and Orlova, saying that I was a guest in the command post of commander habi across the road, so that they would not worry. When I saw Naya trotting all the way to the station of the women's antiaircraft artillery company with her gun on her back, I followed the lieutenant and went into the command post of commander habi. As soon as I entered the tent, I coughed violently because of the smoke. Commander Haby and another officer were sitting at a small wooden table, smoking while looking at a map. Hearing my cough, they looked up at me. Hobby stopped the lieutenant who was about to report to him, put out his cigarette in the ashtray on the table, stood up, reached out his hand to shake hands with me, and said, "Hello, major oshanina, we meet again." Then he pointed to the officer who was looking at me from the beginning to the end and said to me, "this is puccico, the political commissar of our road guard." he pointed to me and said to puccico, "this is our neighbor, major oshanina, the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion stationed in the south of the road." I shook hands with the commissar again, politely said a few words, and then found a seat to sit down. As soon as I sat down, Colonel harpy ordered the lieutenant who had sent me to pour me tea and food. For habi's kindness, I wanted to refuse, but I opened my mouth, but I still didn't say it. This is mainly due to the shortage of food in Leningrad and the poor food supply of the troops defending the ice transport line. Although the food quota is higher than that in the city, they are still often short of food. After a meal in Baku just now, I really didn't have enough to eat. Since it's a treat, I won't refuse anyone. As soon as the lieutenant came out of the tent, I asked frankly, "commander hobby, what can I do for you?"
