Chapter 1640

For the next few days, I continued to work as a teacher at the Military Academy of vorongze on the Moscow river. Because I have no goods in my stomach, I can only analyze the battles I have participated in in class and comment on the experience and lessons that this battle has brought us. I didn't expect that my way of lecturing was very popular with the students. For this reason, bujoni and voroshlov have praised me several times.

One October day, after class, I walked across the playground towards the school gate, planning to take the subway to go home nearby. A lot of students gathered in the playground, from major to major general. They formed different circles according to the degree of intimacy. When they saw me passing by, they would stop talking and raise their hands to salute me.

From time to time, I raised my hand to salute the students. At the same time, I quickened my pace and walked towards the school gate“ Comrade general, "at this moment, I suddenly heard a timid voice calling me. I quickly stopped and looked in the direction of the voice. I saw a handsome young officer standing not far from me.

I took a quick glance at the rank on his shoulder and then politely asked, "Comrade major, are you calling me?"

Perhaps the major recognized my politeness with estrangement and immediately reminded me, "Comrade General, don't you remember me?"

I carefully looked at the major in front of me, trying to find a matching image in my mind. But after thinking about it for a long time, although I thought he was very familiar, I couldn't remember where I met him. I could only tentatively ask, "major, which class are you in? Have I taught you any lessons?"

"Comrade General, I haven't had the honor to hear your lecture." The major replied with a smile, "don't you really remember me?"

I said in my heart, who are you? You are not a big man. Why should I remember you? I didn't have the heart to play riddles with him, so I said impatiently, "I'm sorry, comrade major. Although you look familiar, I really can't remember where I met you."

The major listened to me with a look of disappointment: "Comrade General, you really don't know me."

"I don't know!" I said coldly.

Just as I was about to turn around and walk away, I heard the major say, "do you remember the five officers I met in the Dean the other day, the ones fighting in the canteen?"

As soon as he talked about the officers fighting in the canteen, my mind immediately began to recall the situation that day. At the head of the line was a colonel, followed by two colonels and two majors. Was this one of the two majors? I carefully looked at the major, and at the same time compared with the two people in my memory, the more he looked like the bruised major at the end of the line.

So I pointed to him: "you are the deputy head of the 254th guard regiment of the 56th division, major Sasa!"

"Yes, yes, comrade general, it's me." Hearing that I accurately named his position and name, Sasa said excitedly, "your memory is so good that you still remember me."

For his praise, I can't help laughing bitterly in my heart. My heart said that if it wasn't for your reminding, I would never think of who you are. I gave him a smile and asked, "major, how's the wound on your face?"

"It's been a long time," Sasa said to me with a smile. "Thank you for your concern!"

After I found out the identity of the major, I immediately contacted Matrosov, because later there emerged heroes in various countries who took him as an example to block the enemy's loopholes, so I was very interested in this hero, so I asked Sasa curiously: "Comrade major, can you tell me the story of Matrosov? You know, if it wasn't for the unpleasant things that happened that day, I really didn't know that such an excellent hero was born. "

"Comrade General, I'll show you something. After you see it, you can understand what kind of hero matlosov is." He took out his military card from his coat pocket and took out a piece of paper folded into a square.

I quickly reached for the paper in his hand and unfolded it in front of my eyes. It read: "Order No. 269 of the people's National Defense Commission

On February 23, 1943, Alexander matyoyevich matlosov, an ordinary guard soldier of the 54th commando regiment of the 56th guard division, rushed to a firepower point of the enemy at the decisive moment of fighting against the German bandits in the village of chernush. He covered the gun hole with his own body and sacrificed himself, thus ensuring the victory of the wrong attack.

On June 19, 1943, the presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union ordered that Comrade matlosov, an ordinary soldier of the close guard army, be recognized as a hero of the Soviet Union. Comrade matlosov's great contributions should serve as an example of bravery and heroism for all the officers and men of the Red Army.

In memory of Alexander matyoyevich matlosov, a hero of the Soviet Union and a soldier of the common guards, my order is as follows:

1、 The 254th guard regiment of the 56th division was officially named "Alexander matlosov 254th guard regiment";

2、 The name of Alexander matlosov, a Soviet hero and ordinary guard soldier, will always be included in the roster of the first company of Alexander matlosov's 254 guard regiment.

Stalin, Soviet marshal of the people's Commission of national defense. "I finally understand why Zhukov threatened the Colonel that night, saying that he insulted the hero who was personally recognized by Stalin and wanted to take him to the military court. According to the order in hand, matlosov is a hero appointed by Stalin. No one is allowed to question his heroic behavior. Maybe it is because of this that although major Sasa started beating people a few days ago, and he was still an officer with a higher rank than himself, in the end, voroshlov became a major event and a minor event. I pointed to the second item of the order and asked curiously, "Comrade major, what do you mean by permanently listing matlosov's name on the list of the first company?" Sasa looked at me in surprise and answered truthfully, "that means as long as the first company exists, matlosov's name will be on the roster. Every morning, when the company commander reads his name, all the soldiers will answer "here!" I can't help but think of * * through Sasha's explanation. It's said that when the car where he lived was called every morning, as long as his name was called, all the soldiers would reply loudly: "here we are!"“ Major, "I folded the order signed by Stalin himself and handed it back to Sasa. At the same time, I asked," after being posthumously awarded as a hero of the Soviet Union, has Matrosov encouraged all the soldiers? "“ Yes, Comrade General. " Sasha carefully put the order into the military certificate, and then replied: "on the day of receiving the order signed by Comrade Stalin, our commanders and fighters swore in front of the flag of the New Guard Corps: we should learn from Comrade matlosov and serve our motherland with our own blood and life."“ I think the soldiers have all fulfilled their promise? "“ Yes, comrade general, you are right. The soldiers of our regiment have proved this with their own actions in countless battles. " Sasha said to me solemnly: "once when we were seizing an important highland, we were tenaciously blocked by the German army, and we were defeated by the enemy for three consecutive charges. In the face of the enemy's intensive fire, the company's instructor, Lieutenant frannoff, stood up and yelled to the soldiers, "comrades, if anyone feels afraid or difficult, just think of Matrosov. Follow me, brothers, for the motherland, for Stalin, move forward! " At the call of frennoff, the soldiers bravely stood up from their hiding place and charged towards the enemy's position again. After a fierce battle, we drove the enemy away from the high ground. " When I heard this, I couldn't help saying: "the power of example is infinite!"“ No, Comrade General. " As if she had found a bosom friend, Sasha continued to say: "later, when our regiment was carrying out the interleaved mission, a soldier of a platoon seized a high ground and blocked the retreat of the German army They beat back the enemy's attack after attack, and at last there was only one soldier left in the whole platoon. When he called to report to the company commander, he asked him, "how many people are left?" The soldier replied, "matlosov and I are fighting side by side!" When it comes to Matrosov, the deputy head of Matrosov's guards seems to have so much to say that I don't even have a chance to interrupt. When he came to an end, I quickly cut off the topic: "Comrade major, you haven't had any conflict with the Colonel these days, have you?"“ No, "she said, shaking her head." I met him twice in the canteen later. He apologized to me for his drunken remarks that night. " I raised my hand and looked at my watch. I found that I had been chatting with Sasha for almost an hour unconsciously. I said quickly, "Comrade major, I have something else to do. Let's talk about it another day." After that, he waved to him and walked quickly towards the school gate. As soon as I walked out of the school gate, I saw a black car driving from north to south along the Moscow river. I took a look at the license plate of the car, which belongs to the headquarters of the general staff. I still said in my heart that from the perspective of direction, it should be that I just came out of the Kremlin, and I don't know whether it's Antonov or the rest of the members. I didn't expect the car to stop when it came to me. The back window was rolled down to reveal the familiar face of vassilevsky. He leaned out and waved his head from me: "Rita, get in the car, follow me to the staff headquarters, Marshal Zhukov wants to see you."
