It was almost eight o'clock the next morning. Zhou Zhihan woke up and opened his eyes drowsily. His gray-green tent was very clean and warm. The carbon in the brazier looked like it had been newly replaced. There was an iron The chimney leads outside the tent, and the tea cup on the table is still steaming happily. There is a beautiful little wreath next to the cup.
Seems to be……
It seemed that a female warrior named Tatiana Malokava had specially compiled it for him.
The Soviet people are so enthusiastic!
Yesterday afternoon, when the 34th Aviation Regiment returned to the Sixth Fighter Aviation Base stationed on the outskirts of Moscow, it received an unprecedented welcome. Their battle broke the myth of the German Air Force's invincibility and successfully covered the attack led by General Potalov. The remnants of the 5th Army were evacuated and were commended by the entire army. General Gromagin personally sent a congratulatory message to thank them for their contribution to the Patriotic War.
That night, the temperature in Moscow dropped slightly, and a light snow suddenly appeared in the sky.
Commanders at all levels of the Sixth Fighter Air Force took turns toasting to Zhou Zhihan, and sincerely asked him for advice on his air combat experience. Faced with the enthusiasm of the crowd, Zhou Zhihan would not refuse anyone who came to drink, and patiently explained to everyone that the Soviet Army What kind of tactics are best to use when facing Messerschmitt?
When Zhou Zhihan first came, many people doubted him. After the victory in the first battle in Kiev in the morning, no one doubted his ability. After the 34th Aviation Regiment returned to the station, they spent the entire afternoon talking about Zhou Zhihan's three consecutive Incredible lift jump.
When Major Pisanko's saliva was flying and he said that Spitfire No. 214 jumped over the heads of four He111s and shot down four bombers with a super large deflection angle shot, the whole base was boiling.
During the air battle in Kiev, the rookie pilot Fedrov, who learned from Zhou Zhihan on the spot and shot down a He111 bomber, also became a hero. Less than a week after he was transferred to the front line, he shot down a German bomber. The top command of the army The officer personally brought him a big red flower and asked all young pilots to learn from him.
During the banquet, the pilots who were in a good mood played wrestling around the huge bonfire, and several enthusiastic female warriors also pulled Zhou Zhihan to dance a folk dance around the bonfire.
After staying in bed for a while, Zhou Zhihan sat up and shook his head, feeling a little heavy. He didn't know how much vodka he drank last night.
In order to prepare for the battle to defend Moscow, the Sixth Fighter Air Force is temporarily inactive. What they have to do now is to quickly replenish fighters and pilots and become familiar with where in Moscow, anti-aircraft arresting balloons and anti-aircraft artillery are deployed.
He reached for the cup and took a few sips of the hot tea. During the war, there were not so many things to pay attention to. It was normal not to brush your teeth for a day or two.
After calming down for a while, Zhou Zhihan put on his shoes and got out of bed. He walked to the stove with a teacup and sat down. He took out a cigarette, took off the stove lid, picked up a piece of charcoal with a pair of tongs and lit it. He took a few puffs and enjoyed the rare experience. An Yi reached out to take out the insoles in the leather boots to bake them, only to find that the leather boots that were still dusty last night had been polished and polished at some point. New insoles were placed inside, and there was a new pair of socks beside them.
Hearing noises from inside the house, a young voice came from outside: "Comrade Colonel, are you awake?"
Zhou Zhihan said: "Please come in!"
A soldier with the fur on his lips came in carrying a dinner plate: "Comrade Colonel, are you hungry? This is your breakfast." As he said that, the soldier placed the plate on the small table next to the stove. , then moved the small table and placed it in front of Zhou Zhihan.
There are two pieces of black bread on the dinner plate, a small plate of black caviar, two slices of ham and vegetable leaves, and a glass of milk.
During the war years, being able to eat caviar and drink milk must have been a special treat.
Zhou Zhihan looked at the young soldier.
The little guy is so considerate.
The young soldier looked a little shy: "I am your orderly Podolsky, comrade colonel!"
Zhou Zhihan remembered that he drank a little too much last night and was helped back to the tent by two soldiers. It seemed that one of them was a stuffed soldier named Podolsky.
"How old are you this year?"
Podolsky stood at attention and straightened his back: "In two months, I will be 17 years old, comrade colonel!"
"Oh!" Zhou Zhihan's heart twitched. The German raid caused heavy losses to the Soviet Red Army. Such a young child has become a soldier. He waved his hand for him to sit down, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Have eaten, comrade colonel!"
Zhou Zhihan waved his hand again: "Don't be so formal, sit down!"
"Yes, Comrade Colonel."
Podolsky sat down as he spoke, placing his hands on his knees in an upright manner.
Zhou Zhihan shook his head helplessly, took a few puffs of his cigarette and put it out. He reached for the plate, picked up a piece of black bread, spread it with caviar, and then sandwiched it with ham and vegetable leaves: "I didn't say I wanted an orderly!"
"Comrade Colonel! Letting me serve as your orderly is an order from the base commander."
Podolsky stood up quickly, shyly and anxiously, "Are you...are you dissatisfied with me?"
Zhou Zhihan put down the bread that had just reached his mouth and didn't even have time to take a bite of the bread. This kid was nowhere to be found: "I'm very satisfied with you, Corporal Podolsky." Zhou Zhihan said and pursed his lips towards the leather boots, " Did you wipe it?"
Podolsky scratched his head, with a girlish shyness on his young face: "Yes, Comrade Colonel!"
"It's pretty clean!" Zhou Zhihan said and finally took a bite of bread. This food combination had a bit of a strange smell, but fortunately he had gotten used to it during his time in the UK and the United States.
This kind of black bread has no sweet aroma, has a very poor taste, is rough and full of sour taste, but Zhou Zhihan knows his stuff. The production process of this kind of bread is purely natural, without any additives, and paired with expensive caviar, it is super nutritious.
"Can you smoke?"
After taking a sip of milk, Zhou Zhihan looked at Podolsky, then licked his lips at the cigarette on the table.
Podolsky's sitting posture is still upright, like a boy on a blind date, with his hands on his knees, like a sculpture: "No, Comrade Colonel!"
"Can't study."
Zhou Zhihan said, taking out one and throwing it over.
This is not a misleading person.
During World War II, the existence of cigarettes saved the lives of many soldiers.
In lonely nights, on the battlefield of life and death, a cigarette can sometimes be the most loyal companion of a lonely soldier, allowing each other to rely on each other for warmth and silent inner conversations.
Are cigarettes bad for your health?
Get lost!
Damn war is not good for the body at all.
"Yes!" Podolsky hurriedly stretched out his palms to take it.
Zhou Zhihan put down the bread, took the tongs, picked up a piece of hot coal, handed it over, and pursed his lips.
Podolsky's appearance when smoking was very lame and green. He held the cigarette tightly between his thumb and forefinger as if he was afraid of losing it. He put it in the middle of his lips and took a sip as if to taste the taste. He had not yet tasted the taste. , and started to squeeze his eyes...
This suddenly reminded Zhou Zhihan of his youthful self.
"Ahem..."
Podolsky was brought to tears and coughed at the same time...
I was actually misleading others, Zhou Zhihan slandered himself, and then picked up the black bread...
After Zhou Zhihan had finished his breakfast, Podolsky told Zhou Zhihan about today's itinerary while clearing the plates. There was nothing to do in the morning. At noon, commanders from other fighter units would come to listen to Zhou Zhihan's lectures, including recent ones. Female pilots of the 46th Guards Night Fighter Aviation Regiment.
46th Guards Night Fighter Aviation Regiment?
This name is so familiar.
