While Asiya was cleaning and bandaging the wounds of the wounded, Lin Hua began to reorganize the third company.
The original establishment of the Third Company was 140 people, but now there are only 27 people left, including five squad platoon leaders, namely the first platoon platoon leader, the second platoon deputy platoon leader, and three squad leaders; the third platoon's squad leader The platoon commanders all died in the battle, leaving only four soldiers in the platoon.
Considering that there were too few people in the company, Lin Hua merged the soldiers of the original three companies to form a new platoon. The first platoon leader served as the platoon leader, the former deputy platoon leader of the second platoon served as the deputy platoon leader, and the three squad leaders served as Monitor of classes one, two and three.
The designation of the garrison platoon was changed to the second platoon, with the former deputy platoon commander, Sergeant Andre, as the platoon commander. Grisa, Zhelia, and Seryosha still held their original positions as squad leaders.
Watching Asiya re-cleaning and bandaging the wounds of the wounded, Lin Hua was considering whether to call all the soldiers together to say a few words. Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside, and a soldier broke in from the outside. Li shouted loudly: "Lieutenant Sokov, Lieutenant Sokov!"
When he heard this shout, Lin Hua was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the soldier was calling him. The name Lao Maozi is really troublesome. People who are not familiar with him call him by his surname "Sokov"; people who are close to him call him by his real name "Mikhail" or his nickname "Misha"; On formal occasions, his name becomes "Mikhail Sokov"; if someone wants to address himself respectfully, he must combine his birth name and his father's name and pronounce it: "Mikhail Mikha Irnovich”.
Lin Hua shook his head to wake himself up from these messy thoughts, then looked at the soldier and said: "I am Sokov, who are you?"
The soldier quickly raised his hand to salute Lin Hua and said, "I am the correspondent in the battalion. The battalion commander ordered you to assemble immediately and prepare to leave!"
"Departure?!" Lin Hua thought he could have a good night's rest in the city tonight. Unexpectedly, Ivan ordered to depart immediately, so he couldn't help but ask: "Departure to where?"
"In the Istria Reservoir area, our troops are launching a fierce attack on the enemy there." After the soldier reported the situation, he urged Lin Hua: "Comrade Lieutenant, gather your people quickly, the truck sent by the superior will arrive soon. .”
After the correspondent left, Lin Hua gathered all the soldiers in the company and said to them apologetically: "Comrades, I originally wanted everyone to have a good rest tonight, but the superiors have ordered us to rush to Istria immediately. Reservoir, to reinforce our troops fighting there.”
Unexpectedly, the soldiers in the company seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of situation. As soon as Lin Hua finished speaking, they packed up their personal belongings and lined up out of the cafe.
The troops came to the street outside and found that the first and second companies had already lined up. After Lin Hua ordered the soldiers to line up immediately, he trotted to Ivan, raised his hand and saluted him and said: "Comrade Battalion Commander, the third company has been ordered to come, please give instructions!"
Ivan glanced at the Third Company who was lining up not far away, turned around and said to Lin Hua: "Misha, I just received a call from the regiment saying that our army's battle in the Istria Reservoir area has entered a fever pitch. We are in urgent need of troop reinforcements, so we made a temporary decision to send our battalion there, and the main force of the regiment arrived shortly afterwards. You will have to explain to the soldiers later that in order to defeat the fascists, you can only force them to give up their rest time. .”
"Yes, Comrade Battalion Commander." After Lin Hua finished speaking, he raised his hand to his forehead and asked in accordance with the regulations: "Are you allowed to return to the army?"
"Hurry up and get there." Ivan nodded to Lin Hua: "The convoy sent by the superiors will be here soon. You can board the train again after the two trains have been boarded."
Lin Hua returned to his team. As he boarded the car, he thought to himself that in real history, shortly after Kryukovo was liberated by the Soviet army, the 8th Guards Division, which suffered heavy casualties, was Returned to the reserve team of the headquarters of the Supreme Command and retreated to the rear for replenishment. But now, due to his arrival, especially the use of "breaking the wall and opening the way" and "three-three assault tactics", the 8th Guards Division's casualties in the battle have been greatly reduced, so not only were they not withdrawn to the rear, but on the contrary Also given more important combat missions.
When boarding the bus, Lin Hua asked Asiya to sit in the cab with him. No one in the company had any objections to their arrangement. On the contrary, they thought it was a matter of course. After all, in their eyes, The company commander and the young female health worker were a couple.
On the way, Asiya, who was sitting between the driver and Lin Hua, turned to look at Lin Hua and asked: "Misha, do you think our counterattack can be successful?"
When Lin Hua looked sideways at Asiya, he found that the driver was also listening, and knew that he was also eager to hear the ideal answer from him, so he raised his voice and said, "Yes, I think we This counterattack will definitely lead to victory. Even if we cannot completely drive the enemy away from our national border, we can at least drive them far away from the vicinity of Moscow."
"Comrade Sergeant," the driver turned his head and quickly glanced at Lin Hua's collar badge, and then said: "I heard that our army has transferred the most elite Red Flag Division from Siberia. Isn't this strength enough to remove the enemy from our territory?" Are you going to drive them away from the country?”
Hearing the driver call him sergeant, Lin Hua smiled bitterly. It seemed that he needed to change to the new military rank as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to command friendly troops when he encountered them on the battlefield. When Asiya heard what the driver said, her pretty face turned red. She leaned slightly towards Lin Hua and whispered, "Misha, when we get to the place, I will help you sew the new collar badge."
Lin Hua gently squeezed Asiya's little hand, and then said to the driver: "Comrade driver, you are right, we have indeed transferred a lot of troops from the Far East. But at the same time, we must also see that the Germans Their strength is still very strong. They are not willing to accept the defeat they have suffered, and will inevitably carry out crazy resistance. It will take a very long process to completely defeat them."
At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shaking explosion from the front, and the driver suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car. Asiya was so frightened that she threw herself into Lin Hua's arms. Lin Hua hugged Asiya and looked around cautiously, trying to figure out what happened with the explosion just now.
"Comrade Sergeant," the driver said with a frown as he stared ahead, "Maybe the car in front hit a landmine!"
