The remaining German troops fled to the area where the motorcycles were parked and tried to get on the motorcycles to escape, but before they could turn the motorcycles around, they were surrounded by a flood of militia soldiers. Facing the black muzzles all around, the German officers and soldiers hurriedly threw away their weapons and raised their hands high.
Lin Hua and the other three did not participate in the pursuit. Seryozha took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and handed it to Lin Hua. After being rejected, he handed it to Christopher. While the two were puffing away their smoke, Lin Hua looked over their heads, looking at the militiamen who were escorting the prisoners back and busy cleaning the battlefield. He thought to himself: "What if Cochetto, the People's Commissar of the Soviet Union, Comrade Husband, if you can believe me, if you mobilize the militiamen to set up defenses as soon as possible, the soldiers in the squad will not suffer all casualties."
"Hello, comrades!" At this moment, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from above: "You are not injured, are you?"
The three of them looked up and saw a young female health worker wearing a short leather military coat and carrying a medical bag. She was of medium build, with an oval face and delicate facial features that made people reluctant to look away. Seeing the three people looking at her blankly, the female health worker smiled, squatted down and jumped into the trench, and walked over to prepare to examine Lin Hua.
Lin Hua quickly waved his hand to her and said with a smile: "Thank you, comrade health worker, I am not injured." He nuzzled at Christopher next to him, "My soldier seems to be injured."
"That's right, comrade health worker." Christopher threw the cigarette he had just taken two puffs on the ground, crushed it with his toes, and said to the female health worker with a playful smile: "I just got shot in the arm, please check it for me. Take a look and see if it will make you disabled?"
Hearing that Christopher had been shot in the arm, and seeing that a patch of his left sleeve was stained brown with blood, he quickly helped him unbutton his military coat. After seeing clearly the extent of Christopher's injury, the female hygienist showed a relaxed expression on her face. She cleaned the wound with alcohol, applied iodine, and bandaged Christopher's wound.
After finishing all this, she carefully helped General Christopher put on his coat, and while packing his things, she said with a smile: "Don't worry, comrade soldier, it's just a small piece of flesh that was wiped off by the bullet, nothing." It hurts the bones. It will heal before you get married."
"What did you say, comrade health worker?" Lin Hua heard the female health worker say this and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What does this mean?"
"I said the wound can heal before getting married," the female hygienist looked at Lin Hua with strange eyes and asked, "You don't even know this saying, do you?"
"I know, I just didn't think about it for a moment." When the female health worker reminded her, Lin Hua immediately remembered that there is indeed such a saying in Russia, which means that the wound will heal soon. He was afraid that the female health worker would see the flaw, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I don't know what to call you?"
The female hygienist smiled and replied: "You can call me Asiya."
"Asiya," Asiya was the first beautiful woman Lin Hua met after traveling through time. Lin Hua wanted to get close to her from the bottom of his heart, "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Moscow, comrade corporal." Asiya glanced at Lin Hua's collar badge and said, "My family lives in the instrument factory. Today I happened to go home to visit relatives, and when the militiamen were about to be dispatched, I thought that the battlefield must be There were casualties, so I followed."
"Seryozha," Lin Hua waited for Asiya to finish speaking, then immediately turned to ask Seryozha: "What time is it now?"
Seryozha took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and then said to him: "There are still five minutes to go, it will be four o'clock sharp."
Lin Hua calculated silently in his mind that he could stop the Germans for no more than forty minutes at most, and the instrument factory was several kilometers away. How could the militiamen arrive in such time? When he was about to ask Asiya, he suddenly heard a familiar voice above his head: "Comrade Corporal, can I talk to you?"
Lin Hua looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray military coat without a collar badge, standing next to the trench with his hands behind his back. Lin Hua looked at the opponent carefully and then recognized him as Kochetov, the commissar of the Town Soviet. Lin Hua quickly climbed out of the trench on hands and knees, stood at attention in front of the opponent, then straightened his back and raised his hands in salute: "People's Commissar Comrade! Corporal Sokov reports to you that our squad is performing a combat mission. I am waiting for your orders, please give instructions!"
"Please rest a moment!" Kochetov, with a smile on his face, said to Lin Hua enthusiastically: "Comrade Sokov, we are all old acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite. Let me call you Misha, and you Call me Kochetov.”
Lin Hua heard that there was an element of flattery and friendship in the other party's tone. Although he didn't know why the other party was so arrogant and respectful to him, he still said smoothly: "I understand, Comrade Kochetov!"
Kochetov glanced at the militiamen who had finished cleaning the battlefield, and then said to Lin Hua: "Misha, it's too cold outside and it's not the place to talk. You first come to the office of the Soviet with me and have a drink." Hot tea with honey will warm your body.”
Hearing that Kochetov asked him to leave, Han Zhan looked at the bodies of his comrades in the trench and said with some embarrassment: "Comrade Kochetov, I want to bury our comrades first..."
Although Lin Hua politely rejected Kochetov's kindness, the other party still stubbornly said: "No, you must follow me to the office immediately." He was deeply afraid that Lin Hua and the others would not go, and he specifically emphasized, "Shim You have reported the news that Key Town was attacked by the German army to the Moscow garrison commander General Artemyev, who is on his way here at the moment."
When he learned that the garrison commander was coming to Khimki Town in person, Lin Hua did not dare to neglect. He called Seryosha and Kristoff and followed Kochetov towards the office of the town Soviet. After bypassing the two-story building, Lin Hua saw a dozen open trucks parked on the street behind.
Seeing Lin Hua staring blankly at the trucks, Kochetov smiled and explained to him: "Misha, without these trucks, the militia comrades would not have been able to get here in such a short time. You know, the instrument The factory is not close to the town.”
"Comrade Kochetov," Lin Hua knew that in real history, the militiamen of the instrument factory launched the attack more than two hours after the German army occupied the town, but today they were able to attack in time before the German army rushed into the town. Arrived. Since Kochetov was talking about the militiamen at the instrument factory at this moment, Lin Hua couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "Did you inform the instrument factory and ask them to send people to support us?"
"Yes, Misha, that's exactly what happened." Kochetov said with some pride: "As soon as you started fighting outside the town, the soldiers you sent to report the news came. After I learned that the enemy was coming fiercely, I immediately called the military representative of the instrument factory and asked him to send a militia company to support. In addition, I also called the garrison headquarters and reported to them the enemy's appearance." After saying this, he paused After a while, he blushed and apologized to Lin Hua, "I'm sorry, Misha, when you came to warn me, I shouldn't have doubted you. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
Kochetov's initiative to admit his mistake made Lin Hua's favor towards him increase a bit. Lin Hua quickly waved his hands and said, "Comrade Kochetov, as the leader of the Soviet, what you did was absolutely right. I was too reckless."
As soon as the group returned to the office, the garrison commander, General Artemyev, walked in, and with him came several staff officers from the garrison headquarters. Seeing Artemyev coming in, Kochetov quickly stood up to greet him and reached out his hand: "Hello, Comrade General!"
"Hello, Comrade Kochetov!" Artemyev held Kochetov's hand and asked anxiously: "How is the current situation? Have you blocked the enemy?"
"Yes, Comrade General!" Kochetov replied with a smile on his face: "We have wiped out all the invading enemies."
"Where are the soldiers who took the lead in setting up defenses outside the town?" Artemyev asked, searching around the room with his eyes. When he saw Lin Hua and the others standing straight against the wall, he pointed with his hand and asked, "Is it them?"
"Yes, it's them." After Kochetov finished speaking, he winked at Lin Hua and motioned for him to come forward and greet General Artemyev.
Lin Hua stepped forward with understanding, raised his hand to salute Artemyev, and reported loudly: "Comrade General, Corporal Sokov reports to you that our squad has successfully completed the task of blocking the German army!"
"Sokov?!" Artemyev repeated Lin Hua's last name, nodded, and then asked in a friendly tone: "I wonder what your real name and father's name are...?"
Lin Hua, who has been in Russia for more than ten years, naturally knows that it is polite to use his given name and father's name when addressing the other party, and he quickly replied: "Mikhail Mikhailovich."
"Misha," Artemyev affectionately called Lin Hua's nickname after finding out his real name and father's name: "You are good people. If you hadn't taken timely and decisive action, the enemy would have Rush into our town." After that, he hugged Lin Hua, Seryosha, and Christopher, and said excitedly, "Thank you, thank you!"
After hugging the three of them, Artemyev turned around and said to a staff officer standing behind him: "Bring me the medal!" The staff officer quickly took out three red velvet boxes from his satchel. , handed it to Artemyev. Artemyev took the box, shook hands with Lin Hua and others one by one, and distributed the boxes containing medals to them.
Seeing Lin Hua and others holding the medal box in their hands, Kochetov came over with a ceramic teapot and said to Artemyev with a smile: "Wait a minute, Comrade General, have you forgotten us?" Is it a tradition in the military?”
"Yes, yes, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot." Hearing what Kochetov said, Artemyev nodded quickly, and then said to Lin Hua and others: "Put your medals in In the teapot.”
Lin Hua quickly took out the medal from the box and put it into the tea vat. Seryosha and Christopher also followed suit and took the medals out of the box and put them in the teapot. Artemyev took the bottle of wine handed over by the staff, and while pouring wine into the tea vat, he explained to them: "According to the tradition of the Russian army, soaking medals in wine shows that this is not the last one."
After pouring most of the tea jar with vodka, Artemyev handed the tea jar to Lin Hua and said with a smile: "Drink, Comrade Sokov."
Lin Hua took the tea jar, glanced at the vodka inside, grinned, raised the tea jar high, and said, "For victory!" After that, he brought the tea jar to his mouth and drank a sip. After taking a small sip, he handed the teapot to Seryosha next to him.
After the three of them drank the vodka in the tea vat, Artemyev fished out the medals inside and gave them back to the three of them. Then he said to Lin Hua: "Comrade Sokov, after research, in order to avoid similar Regarding the matter, we plan to send two more squads to Khimki Town to form a special platoon. After research and decision by the garrison headquarters, you will be the platoon leader and you will be promoted to the rank of sergeant."
