Chapter 1598

The next morning, a car and two guards were sent to take me to the women's health company in the western suburb of Lublin.

The base of the health company is a small church, and several soldiers are on guard under the church steps. Seeing that I got off the jeep, a male second lieutenant immediately came up to greet me and raised his hand to salute me. At the same time, he said, "Comrade General, I'm second lieutenant of the women's health company. I'm following your orders. Please give me instructions!"

After I raised my hand to return a salute, I looked at the soldiers walking around and found that there were four male soldiers among the six. Then I frowned and asked, "Comrade lieutenant, isn't this the women's health company? Why are there so many male soldiers

The second lieutenant saw my eyes looking at the soldiers on duty, immediately understood the meaning of my question, and quickly explained: "Comrade General, in order to avoid unnecessary harassment of the female soldiers trained here, the superior sent me to bring a class of male soldiers to take charge of the security work here."

I didn't ask the women soldiers what kind of harassment they would encounter. I asked myself, "where are the commanders in the company?"

"I should still be sleeping in it." Replied the second lieutenant.

I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was already half past eight, but the female soldiers of the health company were still sleeping. I couldn't help feeling angry. I told blikai impolitely, "Comrade lieutenant, I'll wait for them here. You'll send someone to call them out immediately."

The second lieutenant nodded, then ran to a woman soldier's side and gave her a few orders in a low voice. After looking at me in surprise, the woman soldier turned and ran up the steps of the church, opened the huge wooden door and flashed in.

I walked back and forth by the jeep, waiting patiently for the health company commander to show up. And lieutenant Blick and the two guards who escorted me here stood by and looked at me quietly, not daring to say a word.

After the church door was reopened, two well-dressed female officers followed the soldier and ran down the steps. They came to my front and back, pulled the hem of their clothes, arranged their caps, and then raised their hands to salute: "Comrade General, Lieutenant Nina, the commander of the women's health company, has been ordered to report. Please give instructions!"

"Nina? Ulanova After I saw the two female officers standing in front of me, I was surprised and said, "it's you

"Rita, it's Rita!" After a moment's hesitation, they immediately cheered and rushed forward to give me a warm hug. At the same time, they said excitedly, "Rita, I didn't expect to see you here."

I didn't expect to meet my former comrades in front of warhoff here. After releasing them, I looked them up and down, and said with a smile, "two years no see, you two are already officers."

"You're still good," Nina said enviously, looking at me. "You're all generals now!"

Ulannova soon stabilized her mood and asked me what I came for: "Rita, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

Of course, I would not tell them that I was sent here. I could only switch the topic and ask, "how about those newly recruited girls? How about management?"

"Not bad!" Hearing my question, Nina's face flashed a haze, "these girls are all from school. They are very easy to manage. But... "

Half way through her words, it stopped abruptly, and I knew there must be something in it. I quickly asked, "Nina, but what? If there's anything, just say it. I'll help you. "

"Can you really help us?" Wulannuova's eyes brightened, quickly asked: "you know that person's position is not low, if you help us, not afraid to offend them?"

I looked at ulannova in front of me and thought that he was almost taken over by the chief of staff of the division in those years, but he survived only with my protection. I didn't expect that the newly established women's health company was facing the same problem. Now, in my position, it's easy to help them in the front army, so I said calmly, "ulanova, please let me know if you are in any trouble. I'll make the decision for you."

"Since the women's health company was stationed here, many officers have come here every night to find our soldiers and let them go out to drink and dance with them." "It's very difficult for us to stop these officers because of their high positions," she explained to me with an embarrassed face

It suddenly occurred to me that rokosovsky sent me to manage the women's health company not to punish me, but to let me deal with these difficult things. I turned my eyes to Nina next to me and asked, "Nina, that's why you report to your superiors and find a men's squad to be the guard here?"

Nina nodded and said, "that's right, Rita. That's what we meant. Although the male soldiers have helped the female soldiers to block many unexpected guests since they came here, they still... "

"But there's still someone who can't stop it, right?" I asked preemptively.

"That's right," Nina said affirmatively. "There used to be officers of all ranks, from second lieutenant to general. Since the arrival of the men's squad, the officers at the rank of captain have not come, and there are fewer officers at the rank of school. Only those at the rank of general have not come to us. As you know, our rank is too low to refuse orders from the general. "

"Come on, Nina, don't say any more. I've got it." I interrupted Nina and called the second lieutenant officer, Brigitte. Facing the three officers of the health company, I said solemnly: "from now on, until the women soldiers are assigned to the field hospital, no matter what level of officers, it is not allowed to take our soldiers away from here. Do you hear me clearly? "

"But, Comrade General." After turning to look at the two female colleagues next to him, he asked with great misgivings, "if a general comes here in person, I don't think we can hold them."

"Comrade lieutenant, I'm authorizing you now that no man is allowed to enter this church unless there is my own warrant, do you understand?"

"Comrade General, can you tell me your position in the front army?" Burlikai is a serious person. Although I have made my words very clear, he still stubbornly asked: "in this way, when someone tries to break in, I can have the ability to stop him."

"I'm glad you're a very dedicated soldier, Lieutenant Blick." After praising burlikai, I went on to show my identity: "I'm the deputy commander of the front army. If anyone tries to break into here by taking advantage of his power, you can record their name, rank and position. I'll deal with the rest in person."

"I see, comrade deputy commander of the front army." When I showed my identity, burlikai immediately replied with full confidence, "I will resolutely carry out your order and not let a man enter the church."

I don't have the heart to stay here and ask about the details of the health company, because according to my understanding of Nina and ulanova, as long as no one bothers them, they will handle everything properly.

After saying goodbye to them, I went back to the jeep, sat in the co driver's seat and told the driver, "drive!"

The driver side face, politely asked me: "deputy commander comrade, do not know where you are going?"

"Go to the headquarters of the 70th army." The matter of the health company has come to an end. I think it's time to go to the combat forces and communicate with the commanders of the two group armies to understand the situation of the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield, so that we can work out an appropriate combat plan.

After more than three hours of turbulence, I suddenly heard the driver exclaim in surprise: "Comrade deputy commander, look, Brest fortress is here."

I quickly opened my eyes and looked around the car window. I saw a big red fort on the right side of a big river. I thought Brest fortress was a small-scale fortress, but now I found that from the appearance, it can at least compare with a medium-sized city.

The driver was deeply afraid that I didn't know Brest fortress, so he wanted to popularize science to me: "this was Brest city. After the Tsar occupied it, he moved the original city three kilometers to the East in order to build the fortress. After many times of expansion and construction, it has become a huge fortification. It is composed of four independent islands separated by the Bouguer River and the artificial canal. The central castle is located in the center of the whole fortification area. To the southwest of the central fortress is the fortress of jeresport, to the south is the fortress of Warren, and to the north is the fortress of coblin. All the fortresses are surrounded by rivers and connected by bridges.

When the patriotic war broke out, it was the first place to be attacked by the German army. It is said that our troops resisted here for almost a month, containing a large number of German troops. You see, in front of you is the gate of gilsberg, from which you can enter the fortress

I saw a long bridge in front of me connecting to the gate of jersborough. I immediately told the driver, "Comrade driver, stop by the bridge. I want to see this heroic fortress."

The driver stopped at the bridge. I pushed the door open and got off. I looked across the broad Bouguer river at the opposite fort. There are four or five soldiers on guard at the gate of jersborough gate. On the wall behind them are dense craters the size of fists, as if they had been hit by a meteorite shower.

I stare at the gate of the fortress on the other side of the river in a daze, as if I saw a group of ragged and wounded soldiers walking out of the fortress under the escort of the German army. A German officer stood at the end of the bridge and kept shouting in broken Russian, "Jew, commissar, step out!"

With the help of two soldiers, fuming political commissar, who was seriously injured, just walked up to the stone bridge. Hearing the officer's cry, he broke away from the soldiers who helped him, sorted out his army appearance, came to the officer and said, "I am a Jew, political commissar and Party member!"

After squinting at him for a moment, the German officer waved to the soldiers standing next to him. Immediately, two soldiers set up fuming and dragged him to the wall. When he stood close to the wall, the German soldiers stepped back two steps and started shooting at fuming with their submachine guns in their hands

When I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt that someone beside me was shaking my arm. At the same time, I was close to my ear and cried out: "Comrade deputy commander!"

The cry woke me up from my meditation. I turned to look at the driver standing next to me and asked curiously, "Comrade driver, what's the matter with you?"

"Comrade deputy commander, look at the other side." The driver pointed to the other side and said with some dissatisfaction: "those sentinels who were on guard at the gate of the fortress actually gave us a new number, saying that we were not allowed to stay here casually. Let's leave immediately. Do you think I should take a soldier to teach them a lesson? " I looked in the direction of the driver's forehead, and sure enough, I saw a soldier standing at the end of the bridge, waving red and green flags at us, indicating that we should leave here quickly. Originally, I wanted to go to the fortress to have a look. However, some time ago, two officers of the 70th group army were killed by hidden puppet soldiers when they were inspecting inside, so I beat the drum to withdraw. At the moment, when I saw the soldier on the opposite side sending a signal to let us leave, I pushed the boat along the water and said, "no, I've seen everything I need to see anyway, so let's go." When the driver saw that I was calm, he was kind-hearted and said, "well, comrade deputy commander, since you don't want to worry about them, forget it this time. Next time I meet these people, I won't let them off lightly." When I heard that the driver was talking hard, I just gave a faint smile and turned over and walked back to the car. After he sat in his seat again, I urged him: "Comrade driver, drive! If you drive faster, we'll be able to catch up for lunch at the headquarters of the 70th army. " Our car drove a little further and was stopped by two armored cars coming head-on. An officer came up to us with four soldiers, came to our car and asked, "what part are you from?" I pushed open the car door, leaned out half of my body, looked at the officer and said, "commander comrade, I'm general o'shanina, deputy commander of the front army. I have something to see Lei Ruo Fu, commander of your group army. Can you show me the way?" The officer stood at attention, raised his hand and said respectfully, "Comrade deputy commander, it's my honor to show you the way." After that, he trotted back to the armored car with the soldiers. Two armored vehicles turned around in front of us and drove down the road to guide us to the headquarters of rerov.
