Chapter 315

Wake up and look at your watch. It's four o'clock in the morning. Anyway, I can't sleep. I just get up and have a look outside.

As soon as he walked out of the command post, he startled yemeryanov, who was sitting and sleeping outside. The old gentleman immediately stood up, saluted me and asked in a low voice, "Comrade major, where are you really going?"

"Take a look at the position." Then I lifted my feet and left.

The days are long and the nights are short in Russia. It's only four o'clock and it's already light. Because it was still early and it was not time to get up, except for a few sentries on duty, the rest of the soldiers in the trench were sleeping in the shelter or in the blast hole.

I found a place where there was no one. I spread my raincoat on it. Then I got down and looked into the forest with my telescope.

The positions we occupied last time were recaptured by the Germans the next day. In order to prevent us from launching another attack, they reinforced the fortifications, not only repaired the machine gun fire points, but also pulled up the barbed wire in front of the trench and laid out the minefields. At this moment, the enemy's position is the same as ours. Except for a few sentries, the trench is also cold and clear, and no one can be seen.

"Major, do you think the Germans will attack?" Asked yemeryanov, lying next to me in a low voice.

"Yes, sir." I put down my telescope, turned to him and said, "the 131st regiment on the other side of the lake has been completely destroyed. The Germans have no worries. They will certainly mobilize their forces to attack us." I pointed to the wide lake and said, "they won't choose to come from the lake, because in that case, our machine gun fire will give them great damage. I estimate that they will choose to attack us from the position on this side of the forest. In this way, in addition to artillery support, the attacking infantry will even have tanks to cooperate with the attack. "

"Do you think they will attack today?" Asked the chief, a little worried.

I shook my head, raised my telescope again, and said uncertainly, "they didn't send engineers out to clear the mines in front of the position. There should be no action today."

"Comrade major, it's still early. Go back to sleep for a while." The old man said with concern.

I looked at my watch. It's half past five. The time passed so fast that it took an hour and a half to watch the enemy's position.

As I was about to get up, I heard a voice, as if someone was coming towards us. Yemeryanov stood up, looked down at me and said, "it's lieutenant miducci and the four boys."

I looked sideways and saw five or six people coming along the trench, chatting while walking. In front of him was lieutenant miducci. As he walked, he turned back and asked the people behind him, "I said, where are you from?"

The round faced fat man, the soldier named igoleevich, replied, "Petersburg. We're all from Petersburg. "

Miducci had a smile on his face and said, "me too. Where do you live? "

Ygolevich replied, "Gongnong street."

The second lieutenant exclaimed in surprise: "what a coincidence, I live in Gongnong street, too. What's your home number? "

"No.9, comrade commander."

"I'm on the 12th. Where did you read it? "

"No.23 middle school."

The second lieutenant stopped, faced egolevych, punched him hard on the chest, and said excitedly, "God, what a coincidence. I used to study in No.23 middle school." He put his hand on the fat man's shoulder, took him and asked, "do you know the boxing association?"

The fat man nodded his head and said, "well, I know. I've been boxing there for five years."

"Is it?" The Lieutenant's face was full of laughter when he met his neighbor here.

"Yes The fat man gave a positive answer.

The second lieutenant asked with a smile, "who is the coach now?"

"Petrovic."

"Petrovic. Aha The second lieutenant repeated the name aloud, and then asked, "listen, is he still strolling to the city post office every morning to get the new newspaper?"

"I don't know about the newspaper," the fat man replied with a shrug, "but he goes to the teacher's TV station to watch the news every day."

"TV?" The second lieutenant's face became serious. He repeated the new word he heard. He frowned and said, "what is TV? It's the first time I've heard of it. It's a strange word."

"How do you do, Lieutenant miducci?" Because the second lieutenant and they had already come to us, major yemeryanov quickly stood at attention and saluted him.

The second lieutenant turned his head to the sergeant and asked, "Comrade sergeant, do you know what TV is?"

The senior was confused and turned to ask me, "Comrade major, have you ever heard of TV?"

I stood up, pretended to be surprised and said, "TV, this is the first time I've heard the word." Then he pretended to be enlightened and added, "maybe they call the school wall newspaper TV."

The second lieutenant and the first sergeant both let out a cry, with the same expression on their faces, and began to laugh. When the laughter stopped, the second lieutenant turned his head to the fat man and asked, "is the major right? Comrade private. "

The fat man's face twitched violently, then nodded desperately: "yes, comrade commander. In our school, wall newspaper is usually called TV After that, I took the senior officer and a few people to pass by and walked to the company command post. On entering the command post, I told yemeryanov, "Comrade chief, I'll go to sleep first. Wake me up in three hours and call the four young people over. I have something to ask them A step down the wooden steps, I stopped and added, "by the way, I'll get captain Naomi and instructor SOLIN. I lived in the command post last night and I don't know where they went." I said I slept for three hours, but I only slept for less than an hour, and then I woke up again. Get up, go to the door and tell yemeryanov to go and get captain diomi first. The captain and the instructor came to the command post very soon. When they entered the room, they saluted me and asked respectfully, "Comrade major, Captain diomi and instructor SOLIN have been ordered to come and wait for you..." "OK, Captain and instructor." I interrupted them and asked them to sit down. "I asked you to come here to learn something from the four young people of unknown origin."“ The origin is unknown? " The instructor SOLIN asked in a strange way, "didn't he find the relevant documents to prove that all four of them were deserters of the 131st regiment?"“ They're not deserters. But where it came from is still a mystery. " I said in a positive tone, "I'm going to ask Mr. yemeryanov to call them, just to find out the problem."“ But what about those military certificates? " Asked SOLIN. I waved my hand and said, "maybe it's a coincidence. When the four young people come, let's learn about our future from them. " At this moment, yemeryanov's voice came from the door: "report to the major, the four young people have come. Can you go in?"“ Of course, comrades I yelled at the door, "come in. I've been waiting for you for a long time
