Burning Moscow

　　Half an hour later, Captain Diomi and Mr. Yemelyanov, who went to the health team to deal with the conflict, took Hojo Tanao and returned to the company command post.

　　 Although Hojo Tanio spent several years in a Soviet prisoner-of-war camp, his long-standing human experience has kept him in an unrelenting manner. His beard has already been shaved off, and he looks much younger. However, his condition is not very good at the moment. The Guozi face is blue and purple, thick eyebrows are tightened, bandages are slung on his arms, and there are new blood stains.

　　 Captain Diomi walked in front of me, and after saluting, he reported: "Comrade Major, the troubled soldiers are all comforted. I will bring Hojo Tanio to you."

I nodded and said, "Comrade Captain, I will take care of his affairs. But now you go and gather the soldiers in the company. I have something to say to them." Then I looked at the gossip with me. After waiting for a long time, Thorin added, "Comrade instructor, you can help the company commander."

　　 "Yes!" The two agreed, saluted me and left.

I walked up to Hojo Tanao and said sincerely: "Instructor Hojo, your injury does not matter, right? I apologize for the impulsive behavior of the soldiers today and the harm they have caused you. Please don't mind." After speaking, I solemnly salute him.

　　 Maybe he didn't expect that I would apologize to him, and he looked sincere and didn't have the slightest confusion. He hesitated a little, and then he slapped his attention and saluted me. Say loudly: "Sir, I won't blame the soldiers, I will continue to try my best to train them well."

　　 I am very satisfied with his attitude. I nodded and said, "Sergeant Hojo, let's go, and join me to meet the soldiers of Qilian."

　　Since the killing team attacked the German positions, it was tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest. While the German troops continued to attack the 131st regiment, they also paid enough attention to us. They shelled the eighth company's position every day. Although there are enough blastholes in the position, casualties are still inevitable. As the seventh company has more recruits and weak combat effectiveness, this is also the reason why the two companies have not been able to change defenses. The reason why I am uncharacteristically apologizing to Hojo Tanao today is that he also hopes that he will train the recruits of the Seventh Company into qualified fighters as soon as possible, so that he can replace the Eighth Company with heavy casualties for a period of rest.

　　 When we came outside, we saw that the Seventh Company, except for the sentries and patrols on duty, had been neatly arranged in the open space. Seeing us coming out, Diomi trot to me, and immediately reported: "Comrade Major, Seventh Company is assembled. I am waiting for your order. Please give instructions."

　　 "Entry!" Hearing my order, he saluted again and trot back to the far right of the queue.

I walked slowly to the front of the queue, and said unhurriedly: "Comrades, everyone has seen the beating of instructors that happened today. I specially left Hojo instructors for what I did? Just to train you. Improve your skills and tactics so that you will have more ability to save your lives in the cruel battles in the future. However, what did you do to the Hojo instructor, unexpectedly dozens of people swarmed and beat the instructor to a bruised face, even The arms are all discounted. You are really capable. If you can be so brave when confronting Germans in the future, I should thank God!"

"Comrade Major, this Hojo instructor is not something. He didn't take our comrade's life as his life. He let a few people hide behind the mound and let them shoot with machine guns. I didn't want to think that this would kill people." Lieutenant Saprekin stood up and said loudly and outrageously, "If you don't teach him severely, the anger in the soldier's heart cannot be calmed."

　　 I didn't expect the second lieutenant to say that. He obviously did something wrong, and he was still arrogant. I rolled my eyes at him and asked, "Where is the wounded soldier?"

　　 "I'm here, Comrade Commander." A soldier with a bandage on his arm came out from the queue behind the ensign.

　　 "Tell me, why did you run around when the machine gun started shooting?"

Hearing my question, the soldier was a little flustered. It took a long time to replied hesitantly: "Major... Comrade Major, you... don't you... don't know, when the bullet swished over my head, my mind went blank. I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to leave there as soon as possible."

I waved at the soldier, let him return to the team, and then said loudly, "Comrades, I believe you have all heard. This soldier was injured because he was scared when the bullet flew over his head and ran around. I was injured by a stray bullet. Everyone can seriously think about it. You were so panicked during training. What would it look like when you were on the battlefield, facing the enemy's rain of bullets and the bombs that kept exploding around you? Running around is not just as simple as being injured, it may cost your life."

Seeing that the people in the team looked thoughtful after hearing what I said, I hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot, and then said: "From today on, every soldier will have this training. But for the sake of safety, Hojo instructor." At this point, I turned my head and called Hojo Tanao, and told him: "We will arrange for the soldiers to bury steel plates in the mound later so that the bullets will not pass through the mound and hurt to hide behind. Warrior."

　　Tanio Hojo slapped to attention and replied loudly, "Yes, sir!"

　　 I shouted at the team again: "Do you understand what I said?"

　　 The commanders in the team replied loudly and in unison: "I understand!"

　　 Then I gave orders to Diomi and Sorin, saying: "Two company commanders and instructors, you will assist Hojo instructor in the next training. Do you understand?"

　　 The two replied in unison: "Understood, Comrade Major. We must complete the task."

　　 In the next two months, Hojo’s training results were remarkable. Except for the lack of some battlefield experience, the soldiers of the Seventh Company were no worse than the other elite troops. Under this circumstance, I assured the two companies to change defenses, and the eighth company withdrew to the village to rest, while Diomi's seventh connection took over the original eighth company's position.

　　The situation of the 131st Regiment was getting worse and worse. Under the encroachment of the German army, the position was greatly reduced, and the troops were almost casualties. In order to rescue the besieged troops, on the morning of June 22, the 132nd Regiment concentrated its forces and launched a fierce attack on the German flanks, attempting to open a gap in the strong German blockade and rescue the besieged troops. But under the counterattack of the powerful German artillery fire, the offensive lasted only an hour before it was over.

I stood on the ground and saw through the binoculars the 132nd regiment, which suffered heavy casualties. After dropping hundreds of corpses and evacuating from the battle in embarrassment, I put down the binoculars and sighed deeply, and then confronted those standing next to me. Master Yemelyanov said: "The 131st regiment is over. Tonight you take the guards to the lake to see if you can find the commanders and fighters who broke out of the 131st regiment."

　　 Tuashi quickly agreed: "Yes." Then he asked with concern: "Comrade Major, I have taken all the guards away, who will protect your safety."

　　 I said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, I can protect myself. Remember, if there is any movement, call me immediately."

　　 "Yes." Tuashi promised me simply again.

　　 Just after it got dark, it suddenly rained heavily. At the same time, the German shelling began again. Listening to the sound, the artillery shells exploded at the position of the Eighth Company and also at the position of the 131st Regiment, but the explosion sound on the other side of the lake appeared to be denser. It seems that the Germans are making the final attack on the 131st Regiment.

　　The shelling lasted for half an hour, and then suddenly there was no sound.

　　I hurried to the company headquarters of the Eighth Company and asked Lieutenant Ugard who was calling inside: "Comrade Lieutenant~www.wuxiaspot.com~What's the latest situation on the position?"

　　 Ugarde replied with a crying face: "Comrade Major, the contact with the position has been interrupted. It may be that the telephone line was broken by a shell. I have arranged for the signal soldier to overhaul it."

Hearing that the contact with the position was interrupted, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and said quickly, "I'll go to the position and have a look." Seeing Lieutenant Miducci also sitting in the room, I pointed to him and said, "Ensign, take a look. Two fighters, come with me."

　　 Because we were anxious to understand the situation, we ran all the way in the rainstorm wearing raincoats. We usually had to walk for ten minutes. After only five minutes, we came to the battlefield.

　　 I walked into the position panting along the traffic trench, and saw that the soldiers were rushing to repair the collapsed fortifications. I quickly grabbed a soldier and asked him, "Where is the company commander?"

"In the company command post, comrade major." The soldier saw that I hurriedly replied, and when he saw that I was going to move forward, he added: "The guard squad led by Master Yemelyanov , Caught four deserters by the lake and took them to the company headquarters. The company commander and instructor are interrogating them."

　　 Deserter? ! Could it be a soldier who broke out of the 131st regiment? I have to ask about this, so I walked quickly towards the company command post.

As soon as I walked to the door of the earthen house-like shelter in the company command post, I suddenly heard a nervous and flustered voice from a man inside: "...I'm sorry, Comrade Captain, I...I know...Maybe you...you think I said It's absurd, but it's totally...a misunderstanding. We...we are not deserters, we...we are your descendants,...we come from the future!"
