Half an hour later, Captain diomi and sergeant yemeryanov, who went to the health team to deal with the conflict, went back to the company headquarters with kitaoku.
Although he spent several years in the Soviet prisoner's camp, his long-time experience in human life made him keep his momentum. He had already shaved off his beard and looked much younger. But at the moment, his condition is not very good. Guozi's face is blue and purple, his thick eyebrows are tight, his arms are wearing bandages, and there are new blood stains.
Captain diomi came up to me, saluted and reported, "Comrade major, the troublemakers have been pacified. I'll bring it to you for your disposal."
I nodded and said, "Comrade captain, I'll take care of his affairs. But now go and gather the soldiers in the company. I have something to say to them. " Then I looked at SOLIN, who had been gossiping with me for a long time, and added, "Comrade instructor, go and help the company commander."
"Yes They agreed, saluted me and left.
I walked up to him and said with sincerity, "Beitiao instructor, is your injury OK? I'm sorry for the impulsive behavior of the soldiers today and the harm they brought to you. Please don't mind With that, I solemnly saluted him.
Maybe he didn't expect that I would apologize to him. He was sincere and didn't show any hypocrisy. He hesitated a little, and then he stood at attention and saluted me. He said in a loud voice, "Sir, I won't blame the soldiers. I will continue to train them as well as I can."
I am very satisfied with his attitude. I nodded and said, "sergeant Beitiao, let's go and meet the soldiers of the seventh company with me."
Since the death driving team attacked the German position, it was tantamount to poking a hornet's nest. While the German army continued to attack the 131st regiment, it also gave us enough attention, shelling the position of the eighth company every day. Although there are enough blast holes in the position, casualties are inevitable. Because there are many new recruits in the seventh company and their combat effectiveness is weak, this is also the reason why the two companies have not been changed. Today, I would like to apologize to kitao Tanaka in an unusual way. I also hope that he can train the recruits of the seventh company to be qualified soldiers as soon as possible, and replace the eighth company, which suffered a lot of casualties, for a period of rest.
When we came outside, we saw that the rest of the seven companies, except for the sentinels and patrols on duty, had been neatly arranged in the open space. When we came out, diomi trotted up to me, stood at attention and said, "Comrade major, the seventh company has assembled. I'm waiting for your order. Please give me directions."
"Come in!" At my command, he saluted again and trotted back to the far right of the line.
I walked slowly to the front of the line and said, "comrades, we have all seen the incident of beating the drillmaster today. What do I do to keep the Beitiao instructor? Is to train you, improve your technical and tactical level, so that you in the future cruel battle, a little more ability to save their lives. However, what did you do to the Beitiao instructor? Dozens of people swarmed up and beat the instructor so black and blue that even his arms were discounted. You are really capable. If you can be so brave against the Germans in the future, I should thank God! "
"Comrade major, this Beitiao drillmaster is nothing. He didn't take our comrade's life as his life. He let a few people hide behind the mound and let them shoot with machine guns. He didn't think that he would kill people." Lieutenant saprekin, who was in the line, stood up and exclaimed indignantly, "if you don't teach him hard, the anger in the soldier's heart will not be appeased."
I didn't expect that the second lieutenant would say that. He made a mistake, but he still tried to be reasonable. I rolled my eyes at him and asked, "where is the wounded soldier?"
"Here I am, comrade commander." A soldier with bandaged arms came out of the line behind the second lieutenant.
"Why do you run around when the machine gun starts shooting?"
Hearing my question, the soldier was a little flustered and hesitated for a long time to reply, "major... Comrade major, you... You don't... Don't know, when the bullet whizzed over my head, my mind was blank. I didn't think about anything, just wanted to leave there as soon as possible."
I waved to the soldier and let him return to the team. Then I said in a loud voice: "comrades, I believe you all heard that the soldier was injured because he was afraid of bullets flying overhead and ran around. He was injured by stray bullets. You can seriously consider what it would be like to be in such a panic during training when you are really on the battlefield in the face of the enemy's barrage of bullets and constantly exploding shells? At that time, I was running around, not only injured, but also at the cost of my life. "
Seeing that the people in the team listened to me, they all looked thoughtful. I quickly struck while the iron was hot, and then said, "from today on, every soldier will carry out this training. But for the sake of safety, Beitiao instructor. " At this point, I turned around and called kitaoku Xiong, and said to him, "I'll arrange soldiers to bury steel plates in the mound later, so that bullets won't go through the mound and hurt the soldiers hiding behind."
"Yes, sir!" he replied loudly I asked loudly to the team, "do you understand me?" The commanders and fighters in the team answered in a loud voice: "I understand!" Then I gave orders to diomi and SOLIN, saying, "two company commanders and instructors, the next training is for you to assist the Beitiao instructor. Do you understand? " They answered in unison, "yes, comrade major. We must finish the task. " In the next two months, the training results of Beitiao were remarkable. Except for lacking some battlefield experience, the soldiers of the seventh company were no worse than other elite troops. In this case, I was relieved to let the two companies change their guard, and the eighth company withdrew to the village to rest, while diomi's seven links took charge of the original positions of the eighth company. The situation of the 131st regiment was getting worse and worse. Under the encroachment of the German army, the positions were greatly reduced, and the troops were almost killed. In order to rescue the besieged troops, on the morning of June 12, the 132nd regiment concentrated its forces and launched a fierce attack on the flank of the German army in an attempt to open a gap in the German blockade line and rescue the besieged troops. However, under the counterattack of the German artillery, the attack lasted only an hour and ended hastily. Standing in the position, I saw the 132nd regiment with heavy casualties through the telescope. After throwing down hundreds of corpses and withdrawing from the battle in confusion, I put down the telescope and sighed deeply. Then I said to sergeant yemeryanov standing beside me, "the 131st regiment is over. Tonight, you take the guard team to the lake to see if you can find the officers and men who broke out of the 131st regiment. " "Yes," he said Then he asked with concern, "Comrade major, I have taken away the guard class. Who will protect your safety?" I said with disapproval, "don't worry, I can protect myself. Remember, call me as soon as you have any news. "“ Yes The chief once again simply promised me. As soon as it was dark, it began to rain. Meanwhile, the German shelling began again. Listening to the sound, the shells exploded in the positions of the eighth company and the 131st regiment, but the explosion across the lake was more intensive. It seems that the Germans are making a final attack on the 131st regiment. The shelling lasted half an hour, and then suddenly there was silence. I came to the company headquarters of the eighth company in a hurry and asked lieutenant wugad who was calling inside: "Comrade lieutenant, what's the latest situation on the position?" Wugad replied with a tearful face: "Comrade major, the contact with the position has been interrupted. Maybe the telephone line has been broken by the shell. I've arranged for the signalman to check it out. " Hearing that the contact with the position was interrupted, I couldn't help feeling a little worried and said, "I'll go to the position and have a look." Seeing lieutenant miducci sitting in the room, he pointed at him and said, "Lieutenant, take two soldiers and come with me." Because we were anxious to know the situation, we wore raincoats and ran all the way in the rainstorm. We usually had to walk for more than ten minutes. After only five minutes, we came to the position. I panted along the traffic trench into the position, saw the soldiers were repairing the collapsed fortifications, quickly grabbed a soldier, asked him: "where is the company commander?"“ In the company headquarters, comrade major. " The soldier saw that I was the one and replied in a hurry. Seeing that I was going on, he added: "the guard team led by sergeant yemeryanov captured four deserters by the lake and took them to the company headquarters. The company commander and the instructor are interrogating them. " deserter?! Is it the soldier who broke through from the 131st regiment? I have to ask him clearly, so I quickly walked to the company headquarters. As soon as I got to the gate of the earth house shelter of the company headquarters, I suddenly heard a man's nervous and flustered voice: "sorry, comrade captain, i... I know... Maybe you... You think what I said is absurd, but it's totally... Totally a misunderstanding. We... We are not deserters, we... We are your descendants,... We come from the future! "
