From a gossipy female villager, Lin Hua learned the reason why Vasily was not seen during the battle. But he had no intention of blaming the other party at all. He knew very well that fear of death was human instinct. If he and Vasily were in a different position, he might hide in the house and not come out. If Vasily hadn't called his superiors for help, his entire army would have been destroyed. After all, he should be grateful to him.
When Lin Hua was leading his comrades to bury his fallen comrades, a motorcycle drove over and stopped not far away. The motorcyclist wearing windshield sunglasses asked loudly to the busy soldiers: "Who is Sergeant Sokov?"
Lin Hua, who was filling the hole, suddenly heard someone calling him. He quickly stopped what he was doing, handed the shovel to Seryosha beside him, and walked towards the motorcyclist: "I am Sokov, what can I do? ?"
The motorcyclist took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Hua, saying, "This is the order given to you by the division headquarters!" After saying this, he raised his hand and saluted Lin Hua. Li, he turned his motorcycle around and left.
Andre came over and asked curiously: "Comrade platoon leader, why did the division headquarters give you an order directly?"
After Lin Hua quickly read the contents of the telegram, he handed the telegram to Andre: "The division headquarters ordered our platoon to rush immediately to the 1077th Regiment command post east of Kryukovo City and go there to accept the combat mission!"
After Andrei read the contents of the telegram, he couldn't help but frowned. He looked up at Lin Hua and asked, "Comrade platoon leader, are we going to be arranged to fight in Kryukovo next?"
"I think this is for sure. Since we have been placed under the command of the 8th Guards Division, it will be a matter of time before we go to the city to participate in the battle." Lin Hua waved his hand: "Comrade Sergeant, gather all the soldiers. .”
Following Andre's command, the soldiers who had just finished their work quickly stood in a row. Lin Hua walked to the end of the queue and pulled Asiya out: "Asiya, you won't go with us this time."
"Why?" Asiya asked in confusion: "I am also a member of the platoon, why can't I go with you."
Lin Hua knew that when he went to the city to join the battle, the battle would be extremely cruel. Whether anyone in the platoon would survive was unknown, so there was no need for Asiya to take the risk. After hearing Asiya's question, he nodded towards the barn in the distance: "You stay to take care of the wounded."
"Comrade Platoon Commander," Asiya is also a smart girl. She guessed that Lin Hua left her behind because he didn't want to be in danger, but she didn't want to leave her comrades like this, so she pleaded to Lin Hua: " Please let me fight with you!"
"No," Lin Hua said firmly, "Your mission is to stay and take care of the wounded, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Asia replied in a low voice, then turned around and walked slowly towards the barn.
Lin Hua led his garrison platoon and marched on foot to the east of Klyukovo city. He asked several people in succession before he found the regiment command post.
Seeing Lin Hua walking into the command post, a lieutenant colonel without a military cap immediately came over and asked first, "Are you Corporal Sokov? I am the regiment leader, Lieutenant Colonel Shwe Dulin!"
Lin Hua hurriedly raised his hand to salute Xie Dulin, and when he was reporting to him in accordance with the regulations, he was stopped by the other party with a wave of his hand: "Comrade Sokov, after days of fighting, our regiment has suffered a serious reduction in troop numbers, so we have to transfer all the troops without it." What kind of combat-effective garrison platoon is transferred here. The task of your platoon is..."
When Lieutenant Colonel Xie Dulin assigned the mission, Lin Hua, who was standing next to him, was dumbfounded. He did not expect that the other party actually believed that his troops had no combat effectiveness. If it were not for the shortage of troops, they would not be allowed to participate in the war at all.
Just when he was thinking about how to perform well in this battle, a young major walked in from outside. He came straight to Shedulin, raised his hand in salute, and said: "Comrade Commander, the German barricades The fortifications are too strong, I think we should ask the tank troops to cooperate with our attack!"
After hearing this, Xie Dulin did not express his position, but asked: "Where is the current location of your battalion?"
"Our battalion has advanced to Gogol Street," the major pointed to the Kryukovo city map on the table and said to Shedulin: "After the battle, the barricade fortifications at the east entrance of the street have been occupied by us. Hold on to the street The Germans in the middle section of the barricade blocked the entire street with machine guns. The two charges we organized failed and a company of troops was lost."
After the major finished speaking, he suddenly noticed Lin Hua poking his head next to him, and curiously asked Xie Dulin: "Comrade leader, who is he and what is he doing here?"
"Major, let me introduce you." Shedulin pointed at Lin Hua and said to the major: "This is Sergeant Sokov, the platoon leader of the Klyukovo village garrison platoon. I see that your battalion is in battle. The attrition is quite large, so we will transfer you here to strengthen you."
After the major looked Lin Hua up and down, he asked coldly: "Comrade Sergeant, have you ever fought in a war?"
"Yes, Comrade Major." After hearing the major's question, Lin Hua quickly straightened his body and replied: "I have participated in two small-scale battles, one was to defend Khimki; and the other time," said When he got here, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and finally said bravely, "I was fighting the sneak attack enemy in the village of Kryukovo last night."
Lieutenant Colonel Xie Dulin heard Lin Hua say that he had fought with the Germans last night, and couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Comrade Sergeant, how many people are left in your platoon?"
"Including me, there are twelve people."
"There are only twelve people." After the major heard the number of people mentioned by Lin Hua, he smiled bitterly and said to Shedulin: "Comrade commander, that's a bit too few. Before they can rush to the barricade, the German machine guns will kill them all." Beat to death."
When the major was introducing the troops to Xie Dulin, Lin Hua heard clearly from the sidelines that the battalion's attack on the barricade in the middle of the street failed because it adopted a dense formation and charged in the street. In fact, they could have entered the buildings on both sides, blasted through the walls, and approached the enemy barricades indoors, instead of stupidly crowding in the streets and serving as targets for German machine guns.
At this moment, when he heard that the major actually treated them as cannon fodder, he couldn't help but said to Xie Dulin: "Comrade commander, in fact, in my opinion, it is not difficult at all to seize the barricade in the middle of the street. I will lead the soldiers of the garrison platoon , we can successfully complete this task.”
"What, Comrade Sergeant, do you know what you are talking about?" After Lin Hua finished speaking, before Xie Dulin could speak, the major said in a contemptuous tone: "We sacrificed a fortification that we did not take down. You Can we take it down with only twelve men?" He turned to Xie Dulin and said: "Comrade commander, is there something wrong with this soldier's brain? He actually wants to take down the enemy's position with only a dozen men..."
Du Lin didn't wait for the major to finish, then raised his hand to interrupt what he was saying, looked at Lin Hua and asked: "Comrade Sokov, can you really take down the barricade in the middle of the street?"
"Yes, two comrades, commanders." Lin Hua saw Xie Dulin looking at him with doubts in his eyes. Knowing that this was his chance to perform, he quickly said in a positive tone: "As long as we can be equipped with enough grenades , I will be sure to win the barricade!"
"I believe you, Comrade Sokov. I will provide you with as many grenades as possible." Seeing Lin Hua speaking so confidently, Xie Dulin also felt confident. He nodded and said, "If we win the fortification , I will make you the company commander!"
