USSR 1941

That night Shulka slept soundly.

Although there were wounded everywhere outside the ward, they made all kinds of snores, whispers, groans, cries of pain and even cries, while Shulka could only lie on his side...his wound was on his back and he couldn't lie flat.

But Shulka fell asleep anyway.

Perhaps, it was because for the first time in a long time he knew he could let it all go and sleep easily.

Shulka didn't wake up until noon the next day, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Valrasha sitting by the bed, with a hint of worry in the smile on her face.

"Walratha, why are you here?" Shulka asked.

"Have you forgotten what I do?" Walrassa replied, "I'm a reporter, Shulka!"

"Yes, of course I know!" Shulka said, "So, are you here to interview me?"

Walrassa laughed: "If you want!"

"Do you know what's going on with the 1st Battalion?" Shulka asked.

"Yes!" Walrasa nodded: "After you repelled the enemy, reinforcements from the 316th Division arrived, and they drove the enemy out of the line of defense. Volokolamsk is still in our hands. There is no shortage of land!"

"Very good!" Shulka breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't you want to hear anything else?" Walrassa asked, peeling an apple and sending it to Shulka's mouth.

Shulka was chewing almost greedily... He hadn't tasted fruit for a long time, which was definitely a rarity in Moscow at this time, especially in the cold winter.

Then Shulka found a basket of apples on the bedside, and asked suspiciously, "Where did this come from?"

"Don't look at me like that!" Walrassa said, "This was sent to you by Comrade Zhukov, before you woke up!"

"Comrade Zhukov?" Shulka was a little surprised.

"Yes!" Walrassa said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Comrade Shulka, the whole of Moscow is a sensation... You sank nearly a hundred German tanks to the bottom of the lake, just using some camouflage!"

Speaking of which, Walratha looked at Shulka with incredible eyes: "I can't believe how you did it.

I mean, I can't believe the hero who did this is right in front of me! "

"my family……"

"They're fine!" said Valrassa. "They're proud of you. I didn't tell them you were hurt!"

"Thank you, Valrassa!"

"Shuerka, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Walrassa shook his head and said, "They told me you went to blow up tanks by yourself... You don't need to do this, understand? I hope you will think about yourself more, You are already a second lieutenant!"

"I understand!" Shulka nodded: "I know what I'm doing!"

Shurka really understood what Walrasa meant. She hoped that Shurka would not be so "brave" on the battlefield. As a second lieutenant, he could entrust some dangerous tasks to his subordinates.

Of course, Walrassa could not speak too clearly, this is not allowed.

But Walrassa didn't understand one thing. War was not like she imagined, and could be measured to a certain extent, such as thinking more about herself.

In fact, many times it was the enemy who left Shulka with no other options. It was a place of life or death, like a gamble, with no middle ground.

Shulka takes risks precisely to live.

"Walrasa!" Someone called outside the door at this time: "The phone number of the newspaper office!"

"I should go back!" Val Rasha hurriedly took the coat from the side and put it on: "I told them that I came to interview you, and they are waiting for my first-hand news... I will come to see you again, okay ?"

Before Shulka could answer, Valrasha suddenly turned around and kissed Shulka's lips.

It seemed to be a long time, and it seemed to be only a moment, like the condensation of snowflakes falling on the ice, with some perfume smell, which made Shulka uncontrollably respond.

"My hero!" Valrasha hugged Shulka carefully, and then reluctantly left.

Then Shulka quickly understood what Valrasha meant by "sensation".

As soon as Varrasha left, there was a group of lightly wounded people... No, they were not all lightly wounded, because Shulka saw some people with broken legs and crutches.

"Comrade Shulka, can you tell us your story?"

"Comrade Shulka, tell me how you defeated the Germans?"

...

They rushed in one after another, making Shulka a little at a loss... Could it be that they were waiting outside the door just now? !

Fortunately, Dr. Anatoly came to rescue Shulka.

"Comrades, Comrade Shulka needs a rest!" said Dr. Anatole. "You don't want me to call the guards!"

So the wounded retreated reluctantly.

"If you need anything..." Dr. Anatoly raised his head towards the middle-aged nurse beside him: "You can tell Nurse Andriusha!"

Shulka remembered the nurse who called the doctor when Shulka woke up.

"Nice to meet you, Comrade Shulka!" The nurse was a little nervous. She wiped her hands on her white coat before she dared to shake hands with Shulka.

"Thank you very much!" said Shulka, "for taking care of me during this time!"

"No, don't say that... This, this is what I should do!"

Shulka's words seemed to frighten the nurse.

It was only later that Shulka realized how he was treated... Others had more than a dozen people in a ward, and even a considerable number of people had to live in unheated tents outside the hospital because of the large number of wounded.

But Shulka has a separate ward, not only that, but also a special nurse, this nurse Andryusha is very experienced, usually she can solve most problems, and Anatoly is the best in this hospital If it is not a more complicated operation, it is generally not possible to arrange him.

Add to that nutritious meals and sometimes even get fresh beef... fresh beef instead of canned beef.

And Shulka, in the final analysis, was only a little skin trauma, but Anatole followed him all the way.

But this also seems to be normal.

At this time, Shulka was already a hero who attracted people's attention. Moscow needed such a hero to strengthen the confidence of the troops and the people to continue fighting the enemy, and to boost their morale, so of course nothing happened to Shulka.

But later Shulka learned that the reason why Dr. Anatoly was willing to follow him all the way was not only because Shulka was a hero, but also because of the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and because of Shulka's kindness to Dr. Anatoly. .

It's just that Shulka doesn't know this yet.
