Red Moscow

Yefim reached out and grabbed Zalitsman's arm, and shouted at him: "Comrade deputy director, have you seen it all? What the hell did the Germans do? They killed Komarkova, These beasts will not spare even an unarmed woman."

Zalitsman looked at Komarkova covered in blood, feeling confused. He didn't know how to comfort Yefim who was in deep grief. He could only say in a hoarse voice: "This is what the German devils owe us. The blood debt owed to them, sooner or later, we will demand repayment of this blood debt from them."

"Komakova is dead!" Yefim said sadly, "No matter how many Germans I kill, I can't bring her back to life."

At this time, Golia came in from the outside. After briefly understanding the situation with Gelia, he walked behind Yefim and bent down, put his hands on the other's shoulders, and said in a low voice. Said: "Comrade Yefim, justice must be done. What you can do for Komarkova now is to take up arms and eliminate more Faxi Temple bandits. This will not only avenge your girlfriend, It can save more innocent lives and prevent similar incidents from happening."

Yefim raised his head, looked at Goria standing beside him, and asked, "Comrade commander, can I join your army?"

"Aren't you a militiaman in the factory?" Golia did not expect that the other party would offer to join the army. "You can still hit the enemy severely if you stay in the factory."

Yefim gently laid Komarkova's body on the ground, stood up and faced Golia, and said firmly: "Commander commander, I want to join your army and destroy more Germans." .”

"Comrade Captain," Zalitzman stood up, and said to Goria who was still hesitant, "Since Comrade Yefim is so determined to join the army, you should agree to his request." After finishing speaking, he said with The inquiring gaze looked at Golia, waiting for the other party to make a final decision.

Fearing that Golya would not agree to his request, Yefim reached out and grabbed Golya's hand, assuring him: "Comrade commander, I swear to you, I will definitely kill more Germans, Avenge Komarkova and her fallen colleagues!"

Seeing that Yefim's attitude was so firm, Golia couldn't refuse any more, so he just said "Okay", then turned his head and said to Gelia who was standing aside: "Lieutenant Gelia, Comrade Yefim Join your company. Remember, put him in the squad with the strongest combat effectiveness."

"Understood, Comrade Captain." Gelia nodded vigorously, "I will place him in the strongest class."

Seeing that the enemies who rushed into the building were wiped out, the female operators who were hiding upstairs returned to the switchboard one after another. Seeing that Komarkova, who stayed on duty, died, the girls burst into tears. They hurriedly carried Komarkova to the long conference table, wiped her bloody face, re-combed her hair, and even the female operator found clean clothes for Komarkova... …

While the female operators were sorting out Komarkova's remains, Golia brought Zalitzman to the corridor and asked, "Comrade deputy factory manager, I would like to ask, what are your plans next? "

After the shelling and bombing of the German army, the No. 4 building has already become riddled with holes. After research, several leaders in the factory decided to evacuate all the people in the building, and Zalitzman came to carry out this evacuation task. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by the German army as soon as he entered the building. If he hadn't been lucky enough to break through and get the support of the Goria troops, the building would have been occupied by the Germans long ago.

Hearing Goria's inquiry at this moment, he immediately said without hesitation: "Comrade Captain, according to the research and discussion of the factory leaders, in order to shrink the line of defense and gather more troops, we are going to abandon this building. It's a pity that the enemy came too soon. Quick, or we should be almost done with the retreat by now."

"So, you don't plan to stick to this building anymore?" After learning about Zalitzman's next plan, Goria considered whether he should take the opportunity to bring the troops back to the archives building. But before leaving, he had the responsibility to cover the safe evacuation of the militia and staff in the building, so he said to Zalitzman: "Comrade deputy factory director, take people to evacuate first, we will stay and cover you."

"Okay, Comrade Captain! I will lead people to evacuate this building immediately." Before organizing the evacuation, Zalitzman also specifically told Golia: "There is no need to hold on here. After we evacuate, you will also Leave early."

Seeing the female operators carrying Komarkova out of the switchboard room, Golia suddenly remembered an important matter, and hurriedly stopped Zalitzman who was about to leave: "Comrade deputy factory director, please wait a moment." .”

Zalitzman stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, "Comrade Captain, is there anything else?"

"It's like this. I want to make a phone call with the head of the group and report the situation here to him." Golia asked tentatively: "Look, can you leave a female operator and put me through the phone line?"

Hearing Golia's request, Zalitzman nodded, and then asked the female operators who had just walked out of the switchboard room: "Girls, this commander needs someone to help him get through the phone, who would like to help him?" stay?"

According to his thinking, after the shock not long ago, no one would be willing to stay in such a dangerous place. Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the female operators raised their hands in unison, and said one after another: "Comrade deputy factory director, I am willing to stay and help the comrades of the friendly army to answer the phone."

The female operators were so active, which really surprised Zalitzman a bit. After sweeping his eyes over the female operators one by one, he reached out to the fat female operator closest to him and said, "Krava, you stay, and the rest of the girls will follow us immediately."

After sitting down in front of the switchboard, Krava looked up at Goria and asked, "Comrade Commander, I wonder where you plan to connect?"

Golia hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Please connect me to the archives building, we have a regiment command post there."

Krava nodded after listening, and began to connect the regiment command post for Golia. After two or three minutes, Krava nodded at Goria and said, "Comrade Commander, the call has been connected."

Golia quickly picked up the microphone, put it close to his ear and said, "Hi, is this Comrade Commander? I am Captain Goria, and we have helped the friendly army recover their positions..." He told Biel about the battle he was engaged in. After Jin reported in detail, he asked, "I want to ask, what should we do next? Should we stay here or withdraw to the archives building."

For Belkin, the more troops guarding the archives building, the better, but he does not have the authority to withdraw the troops sent to the Dzerzhinsky factory, so he can only helplessly talk into the microphone Said: "Comrade Captain, you stick to your current position first, and I will notify you after I call the division commander for instructions."

Golia put down the phone, walked out of the main computer room, and said to Zelia who was standing outside the door: "Comrade Lieutenant, send a squad to guard here. Even if the enemy storms into the building again, they must not be allowed to rush into the main computer room. Understand?"

"Understood, Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander. I'll transfer Sergeant Kopeto's squad here immediately," Gelya said to Golya. "I'll assign Yefim, the militiaman, to this squad."

Golia is very satisfied with Zelia's arrangement. If there is Yefim in the squad that guards the switchboard room, for Krava who stays on duty, at least she has someone she can trust. When you get up, you can be distracted.

Sergeant Kopetuo was the sergeant who rescued Yefim from the Germans. When he saw Yefim added to his squad, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face: "Yefim, why don't you?" It's you?"

"It's you, Comrade Sergeant?" Seeing that he was assigned to an acquaintance's class, Yefim was also surprised: "I really didn't expect that I was assigned to your class."

"I saw that the militiamen and staff in the building have all moved," Koppett saw that everyone else in the building had moved, but Yefim stayed to join his army, which made him feel puzzled : "Why don't you leave together?"

"My relatives were killed by the Germans." Yefim said with red eyes: "Just an hour ago, in the main computer room on the third floor, they were shot to death by the Germans with a submachine gun. I want to stay and avenge her! "

After listening to Yefim's words, Kopetuo raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a sympathetic tone: "Yefim, tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in this damn war." My own relatives. Remember the crimes the Germans committed against us, and one day, sooner or later, we will recover these blood debts from them with interest."

While the two were chatting, a correspondent came over to convey Gelia's order, and asked Coppetuban to rush to the third floor immediately to take charge of the security of the main computer room. "Let's go, Comrade Yefim." Kopetuo said to Yefim: "The superior ordered us to protect the safety of the main computer room. Even if we risk our lives, we must never allow the enemy to rush into the main computer room again."

Sokov, who was far away on Mamayev Hill, was very happy to learn that the troops sent to the Dzerzhinsky factory had helped the friendly army recover some lost positions. But when Belkin asked whether to withdraw his troops to the archives building, he hesitated again. He was worried that his troops would leave and the Germans would reoccupy these positions.

After repeated deliberation, Sokov said into the microphone: "Comrade my political commissar, although I also want this army to withdraw from the Dzerzhinsky factory. But no, the number of defenders in the factory is too large. At least, once Captain Goria and the others retreat, I worry that those positions will be reoccupied by the enemy."

"Misha, what do you mean, Goria and the others don't have to withdraw?"

"That's right." Although Sukov had no mobile force in his hands due to the scattered forces, he didn't dare to withdraw the troops casually, otherwise the defense line might be shaken. He said carefully: "I will call and tell the commander about this, and ask him to send troops to the Dzerzhinsky factory for reinforcements. After the reinforcements arrive, it will not be too late for Goliath and the others to retreat."

"Understood, Misha." Belkin nodded and said, "I will immediately notify Goria and order him to continue to stick to the current position until new troops take over the defense."

After receiving Sokov's instructions, Belkin immediately notified Goria of this decision by phone, and finally said: "Comrade Captain, I order you to hold the current position at all costs until there are new ones. Until the troops come to take over your defense. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Comrade Commander." Goliath replied resolutely: "Before the new troops arrive, even if there is only one of us left, we will definitely not abandon the existing position."

As soon as he put down the phone, Golia called Gelia to him and said to him: "Comrade Lieutenant, according to the order of our superiors, we may have to stand here for a while and wait for new troops to arrive. In addition to continuing to strengthen the fortifications , You also have to organize people to go outside the building to collect usable weapons and ammunition, so that we can support for a longer period of time."

Just when Gelia turned to leave, Golia stopped him again: "Comrade lieutenant, in addition to strengthening the fortifications and collecting ammunition, don't forget to let the soldiers eat as soon as possible. If you wait for the battle to start, there will be no Time to eat."

"By the way, Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, I remember one more thing." After Goria reminded him, Gelia remembered another equally important thing: "In the battle just now, apart from the soldiers who died , and more than 50 people were injured, 15 of whom were seriously injured, how should we deal with them?"

How to accommodate the wounded? It really stumped Golia. There were no health workers in the archives building. If the seriously wounded were to be treated, they had to be sent to Mamayev Post. But here to escort so many seriously wounded people to Mamayev Post, at least fifty or sixty people are needed. In this way, the defense force of Building No. 4 will be greatly weakened. But if they don't send them, they can only watch these wounded die in pain.

Just when Golia was in a dilemma, Yefim, who was guarding the door of the main engine room, said, "Comrade commander, we can ask the deputy factory manager to take the wounded away. Our factory hospital is far away from here." But two or three kilometers, send the wounded there, and they can get timely treatment."

Regarding Yefim's proposal, Golia said in embarrassment: "But Comrade Deputy Factory Director has gone far away. Is it appropriate to call them back at this time?"

"It's suitable, there's nothing inappropriate." Yefim said carelessly: "In the basement of the building, there are several flatbed trucks, we can put the wounded on them, and then let the deputy factory manager send some people back to pull the wounded away." Just go."
