Burning Moscow

　　 I am now a battalion commander, not a company commander, so there are some things that I don’t need to do myself, I just need to order, and naturally someone will execute the order I issued. For example, the rearrangement of gun positions does not require me to brave the harsh cold wind to supervise the execution on the spot, Kirianova and Orlova will do it properly. What I can do now is to lie down in the quilt in the tent to sleep, because there has been too little sleep time recently.

　　 did not expect to sleep soundly, but was awakened by a noisy sound outside the door. I opened my eyes and raised my wrist to check the time. I only slept for an hour. Because of long-term lack of sleep, I finally had a chance to sleep in, but I was woken up like this. I was upset in my heart. I wished to rush out of the tent and crush the guy who disturbed my sleep. If there was a grenade at the time. If I have it at hand, I guess I pulled the string early and threw it out.

　　 I opened the quilt, turned over and put on a military coat, opened the curtain and went out to see what was happening outside.

A group of female soldiers stood twenty to thirty meters outside the door, surrounded by a red-faced male soldier. A female officer wearing the rank of ensign was pointing his head with her finger, saying something, and The female soldiers onlookers laughed from time to time.

　　 I walked towards them, wanting to know what happened. A sharp-eyed female soldier spotted me walking towards them angrily, and hurriedly shouted: "Comrade commander is here!"

Following her shouting, many people found me in the shortest time, including the ensign, who only heard her shouting the command loudly: "All of them, stand at attention!" All of a sudden the female soldiers were silent, collectively. Pay attention to me.

　　 I walked to a place two or three meters away from them and stopped, and then asked dissatisfiedly: "Who can tell me what happened here?"

　　The female second lieutenant ran up to me quickly, stood at attention and saluted her report and said: "The second platoon leader Ye Lanna is reporting to you, please instruct!"

　　 I returned a gift and asked, "Comrade Ensign, can you tell me what happened?"

　　 Female Lieutenant Ye Lianna turned to look at the male soldier behind, and stopped talking. Seeing her expression, I knew that things could not be explained in a few words, and the male soldier was the key to it, so I waved to him and let him come over.

　　 The male soldier came to me honestly, his chin pressed to his chest, his face flushed, his hands behind his back, his mouth opened a few times, but he couldn't say a word.

　　 I turned my head and asked Ye Lianna: "Comrade Lieutenant, what is going on? I order you to say."

　　 Ye Lanna saw that I asked, knowing that he could no longer avoid it, so he could only answer honestly: "Report Comrade Major, this male soldier is here to look for Naya."

　　 "What happened to Naya?" I asked puzzledly.

　　 Ye Lanna pulled the male soldier's hands behind him to the front, and I saw that the male soldier had a handful of unknown wild flowers in his hands. Perhaps the flowers had withered because of the cold weather. Before I could speak, Ye Lenna kicked the drooping bouquet in the hands of the male soldier with her toes, and taught him in front of me: "Comrade soldier, do you know that this is a time of war? The most important thing now is to love the motherland. , Instead of loving someone. The female soldier is on the front line. First of all, it is a soldier, not a woman. In the war, you should hold a steel gun in your hand, not a flower dedicated to a woman. You don't spend so much energy. To talk about love, it’s better to sign up to join the front-line combat troops and eliminate a few more fascist bandits..."

　　 To be fair, what Ye Lanna said is very reasonable, but she is also a very principled person. Listening to her endlessly teaching the male soldiers, I know that if she does not stop her, she can probably talk for two or three hours. If my battalion needs political workers, she is a suitable candidate. But right now is not the time to listen to her long talk, there are still a lot of things to do.

So I interrupted her and turned to the male soldier and said, "This is the end of today’s business. You can go back. Please remember that our current priority is to protect this Lenin with our own lives. Geller’s lifeline, there is no time and it is not allowed to spend energy on talking and falling in love. Do you understand?"

　　 "Understood, Comrade Commander." The male soldier raised his head and straightened his waist at the same time, and then asked for my opinion: "Can I leave now? Comrade Commander."

　　 "Go!"

　　 He saluted me, threw away the withered bouquet of fingers, and turned to leave.

　　 Seeing the male soldiers leave, Ye Lianna was a little anxious, and hurriedly pulled my sleeves and said: "Comrade Major, I haven't finished my words, why did you let him go?"

I stared at the ensign in front of me and said coldly: "Let him leave, because we have more important things to do, instead of wasting our energy on trivial things. Have you adjusted your gun positions? "

　　 Upon hearing my question, the second lieutenant came to stand at attention and replied loudly: "Report Comrade Major that all the positions of the anti-aircraft guns in the second row have been adjusted. Please instruct!"

　　 I saw Kirianova and Orlova walking towards us from a distance, and waved and said, "When the work is complete, you can take the soldiers in your platoon back to rest."

　　 Ye Lianna agreed, and immediately issued the commands of "Stand Attention" and "Turn Backward" to a group of female soldiers under her, and then left with them. Naya, who was walking at the end, stopped, smiled at me and nodded, before hurriedly chasing the front team.

　　 Kiryanova and Orlova came to me, stood at attention and saluted, and reported loudly: "Report to comrade battalion commander that the adjustment of the positions of the women's antiaircraft battery has been completed. Please instruct!"

　　 I didn’t return the courtesy. I stepped forward and grabbed her hand and pulled it down from her forehead, and said, "Report to me about my work, you don’t need to be so serious."

　　 Kiryanova looked at me, snorted softly, and said in a bad tone: "I don't dare to be too casual, you are a general, and I'm just an ordinary little officer."

　　 "Comrade company commander, please pay attention to your attitude" Orlova saw Kirianova talking a little bit yin and yang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then quietly pulled her sleeves, carefully reminding her.

　　 I understand in my heart that Kirianova's willingness to change my attitude is because I concealed the story of her being a general from her. Busily pulling her into the tent, he said as he walked: "It's too cold outside. Let's go back to the tent and talk about it. I will tell you how I became a general."

　　 Entering the tent, Kirianova and I sat down around the table, while Orlova was busy making a fire and making tea for us.

After everyone sat down, I began to tell the two of what happened in the defense of Moscow, of course, including how to meet and break up with Oshanin, how to become the commander of the guards, and how to be before the counterattack. He became the chief of staff of the 20th Army and was personally awarded the rank of major general by Stalin and other details of a series of events.

　　 When I heard that because I saw Zoya's death, I ordered my subordinates to kill all the prisoners in anger, the two of them applauded again and again. Especially Orlova, she said that if she was in my position at the time, she would not hesitate to give the same order as me. The benefit of such a conversation is that it unknowingly narrows the distance between the three of us and increases their trust in me.

　　 was talking happily, and a familiar voice came from outside the tent: "Comrade commanders, this is Liu Da, can I come in?"

Hearing that it was Liu Da, Kirianova raised her hand and looked at her watch, and said in surprise: "Unknowingly, it was so late. We forgot to eat dinner." She was about to greet Liu Da to come in. It was discovered that Orlova had already stepped out of the tent, went to pick up the dinner in Liu Da's hands, brought it in and put it on the table for us.
