Burning Moscow

I remember when I was learning "Mulan Ci" many years ago, I was very curious. Hua Mulan dressed as a man and spent ten years with her comrades in arms, but no one had ever seen her identity. Now seeing the young female tanker in front of me, I seem to understand something. The reason why they weren't seen through may be because they belonged to the fighting nation, and they were not inferior to men of the same race in terms of physical strength and physique, so they were not as easy to see through as weak women. In addition, their feminine characteristics are not obvious, so people who usually contact them would never think that she would be a woman.

After Roschukin heard my question, he remained silent. Knowing that she must have concerns, I asked again in an amiable tone: "Comrade sergeant, can you tell me your real name?"

Roschukin blushed and lowered his head, and replied shyly: "Comrade Commander, my real name is Alexandra Mitrovanovna Roschukina."

In order to show closeness, I replaced the polite and alienated "you" with "you" when I continued to ask: "Can you tell me why you want to pretend to be a man?"

Roschukina raised her head and looked at me, and said unwillingly: "Comrade Commander, do you think I want to pretend to be a man? After the war broke out, I went to the conscription point to sign up, but the staff in charge of the conscription said no The female soldier rejected my application for enlistment. I did not give up and changed to another recruiting point, but I was still rejected.

In this way, in one year, I went to nearly a hundred recruiting sites to apply for enlistment, but without exception, I was rejected by the staff responsible for recruiting.

Seeing that my peers around me enlisted in the army or joined the militia, while I was still at home doing nothing, I felt very uncomfortable. Later, I simply cut my hair and disguised myself as a man to apply for the recruitment, and changed my name to Alexander Roschukin. This time I was finally admitted to the army.

After enlisting in the army, I was assigned to the transportation regiment. At the beginning, I learned how to drive a vehicle in Moscow. It didn't take long for the regiment to issue an order saying that there is an urgent shortage of tankers in the army. I hope everyone can sign up to learn to drive a tank. Driven by curiosity, I took the initiative to sign up for the group. that's all. I came to Stalingrad and was assigned to a tank unit to learn tank driving skills. After learning for less than two months, the defense of Stalingrad broke out, and my unit was assigned to the 62nd Army of General Cuikov. "

I heard that she had also been under Cui Kefu's hand, and I couldn't help but increase my liking for her. As a result, the tone of the speech was no longer the same as the conversation between the superior and the superior, but the tone of the two friends chatting. "Roschukina, do you know? I was also a unit of General Trikov. I participated in the defense of Stalingrad."

"I know you, Comrade Commander." Roschukina nodded vigorously and said affirmatively: "I have heard of your deeds in the army, and almost every day I can hear you fight back from the mouths of others. The good news for the German offensive. It is your performance that made me understand that even a woman can make contributions like a man." At this point, her eyes became hot, "So, you have always been a role model for me! "

Roschukina’s praise made me a little embarrassed. I waved my hand and smiled and said, "Comrade sergeant, you are too rewarding. Actually, I just had better luck. I can get the same result when I change to someone else." I don't want to keep up with my own business. When she was entangled, she changed the topic in time, "Roschukina, you are not easy. After only one year in the army, she became a car commander and was awarded the rank of sergeant."

"During the Defence of Stalingrad, the tank I drove destroyed three combat targets. Among them was a tank, a truck, and a firepoint, and killed more than 30 German soldiers with a vehicle-mounted machine gun." Jin Na introduced me to her previous achievements. "After the battle, I was promoted to sergeant because of my military exploits. And I was appointed as the captain."

"What are your plans?" After listening to her record, I asked with concern: "Roschukina, what plans do you have in the future, whether to continue to pretend to be a man, or to show your true identity to the superior? If you want to If you reply to your daughter's body, I will take care of this matter. I believe it won't cause you any trouble."

Unexpectedly, as soon as my suggestion was given, Roschukina waved her hands desperately and said: "No, no, Comrade Commander. If I announce my true identity now, my superiors will definitely remove me from the tank brigade. Yes. Maybe I will be transferred to the health team to be a hygienist, or the communication link to the operator."

"These arms are all good." To be honest, my purpose for regaining her original identity is to transfer her to the rear to be a hygienist or radio operator. Although those positions are also dangerous, they are at least better than tanks. Hand safety. Now that she said it first, I followed the flow and said: "In these positions, at least it is safer than you to be a tank soldier."

But Roschukina asked: "Comrade Commander, my comrade-in-arms is going to fight the Germans, but you want me to go back to the safe rear? Is this a deserter?" At this point, she said. There was a clear anger in his tone.

I propose to let her restore her true identity, but also for her sake. However, judging from the current situation, I seem to take it for granted. She doesn't want to restore her identity at this time. But the last words she said shaken my determination.

Since she is unwilling to regain her original identity, I can't force it anymore. I thought about it and said, "Dear Ruschukina, if you change your mind someday, you can call me and I will help you. Everything is arranged."

"Thank you, Comrade Commander!" Roschukina said gratefully: "If one day I want to recover my daughter's body, I will definitely be able to call you, please help."

Although I have said it for this purpose, my heart is still not at ease. It suddenly occurred to me that in a movie before, there was a female militia dressed as a man who joined the regular army. Later, she was injured in a battle. The military doctor saw through her identity when she took off her pants and changed her dressing. As a tanker, Roschukina had more chances of being injured in the cruel Battle of Kursk, and it would be sooner or later that her true identity was revealed.

Thinking of this, I said worriedly: "By the way, Roschukina, I have a question. If you are injured in battle, your identity will not be exposed when you are bandaged by a health worker or a military doctor. Is it? If you encounter this situation, what should you do?" My question left Roschukina speechless and stood still.

Seeing her helpless look, I couldn't bear it again, so I said my plan: "Do you think this is good, as long as the tank you command will destroy ten enemy vehicles in the next battle." The above tanks, then I will help you restore your true identity and keep you in the tank brigade. Anyway, there are no female tankers in the tank unit. What do you think of my arrangement?"

After listening to my advice, Roschukina nodded first, then shook his head, and said hesitantly: "Comrade Commander, do you think my tank can destroy more than ten tanks in battle?"

I didn't answer her question, but instead asked: "Do you think the current tanks are better than the tanks you used to drive?"

"Then it needs to be said, of course this is the current one. Didn't you see that the German tank fired at such a close range and failed to penetrate our armor? And we fired a shot and claimed that the Germans could not penetrate. The Tiger tank was killed.” Speaking of the process of killing the German tanks, Roschukina was particularly excited: “The new tanks can also shoot on the move, and the hit rate can reach more than 40%, compared with the zero hits of the old tanks. , It’s a world of difference."

Seeing that she knows the performance of the new tank very well, I nodded with satisfaction. "Since you know the performance of the new tank, are you still having difficulty destroying more than ten German tanks?"

An expression of surprise appeared on Roschukina’s face. After UU reading www.uukanshu.com, she shook her head fiercely, and replied loudly: "Please rest assured, the commander. Destroyed more than ten German tanks in the battle."

"Yes, there is one more thing. You haven't answered me yet." After seeing her happy again, I asked another question that interests me: "You have been in the army for so long. Has no one ever found out that you are a woman?"

"Please rest assured, the commander, I didn't find my identity." Roschukina reported to me with some pride: "We tankers and infantrymen are different. It is not that people in a squad or even a platoon live together. The respective tank groups were stationed separately. I let the other crew sleep in makeshift tents, and I slept alone in the tank on the grounds of guarding the tank. As for the bath, I was always near the troop station. It's done in a pond or river. I'm very careful every time, no one will ever see it."

"It turned out to be like this, no wonder no one found out that you are a woman after more than a year." After figuring out how she prevented others from discovering her true identity, I smiled and waved at her. Said: "Okay, dear Roschukina, it's okay now, you can go back to work first."

"Yes!" Roschukina replied loudly, and after raising her hand to salute, she turned and ran towards her tank. (To be continued.)
