Chapter 277

I'm a battalion commander now, not a company commander, so I don't need to do some things by myself. I just need to give orders. Naturally, someone will carry out my orders. For example, the relocation of artillery positions does not require me to go to the scene to supervise the implementation in the fierce cold wind. Kiriyanova and Orlova will do it properly. What I can do now is to sleep in the quilt in the tent, because the sleeping time is too little recently.

I didn't expect that I was sleeping soundly, but I was awakened by the noise outside. I opened my eyes, raised my wrist and looked at the time. I only slept for an hour. Because of the lack of sleep for a long time, I finally had a chance to sleep in, but I was woken up by people. I felt very upset. I wanted to rush out of the tent and squash the guy who disturbed my sleep. If there were any grenades in my hand at that time, I would have thrown them out.

I lifted the quilt, turned over, put on my military coat, lifted the curtain and went out to see what was going on outside.

Twenty or thirty meters outside the door stood a group of female soldiers, surrounded by a red faced male soldier, a female officer wearing the rank of second lieutenant, pointing his head with her fingers, talking about something, while the female soldiers around kept laughing from time to time.

I walked towards them to find out what had happened. A sharp eyed female soldier found me walking towards them in anger, and quickly called out: "the commander is coming!"

With her voice, many people found me in the shortest time, including the second lieutenant. They only heard her shout the command: "everyone, stand at attention!" All of a sudden, the women soldiers were silent and paid attention to me.

I stopped two or three meters away from them and asked in a discontented tone, "who can tell me what's going on here?"

The female Lieutenant quickly ran to me, stood at attention, saluted and reported, "second platoon leader Ye Lianna reports to you, please give instructions!"

I saluted and asked, "Comrade lieutenant, can you tell me what happened?"

Second lieutenant Ye Lianna turned to look at the male soldier behind, and then she stopped. Seeing her expression, I knew that things could not be explained in a few words, and male soldiers were the key, so I waved to him to come.

The soldier came to me honestly. His chin was close to his chest, his face was red, his hands were behind him, his mouth was open, but he couldn't say a word.

I turned to ask Ye Lianna: "Comrade lieutenant, what's the matter? I command you to say

Ye Lianna saw that I asked, and knew that she couldn't avoid it any more. She could only honestly reply, "report major, this male soldier is here to find Naya."

"What's the matter with Naya?" I asked, puzzled.

Ye Lianna pulled the soldier's hands behind her to the front, and I saw an unknown wild flower on the soldier's hand. Maybe because of the cold weather, the flower had withered. Without waiting for me to speak, ye Lianna kicked the drooping bouquet in the male soldier's hand with her toes, and taught him a lesson in front of me: "Comrade soldier, do you know that this is a time of war, and now the most important thing is to love the motherland, not someone. A woman soldier is a soldier, not a woman, in the front line. When fighting, what you should hold in your hand is a steel gun, not flowers for women. Instead of spending so much energy on love, you might as well sign up to join the front-line fighting forces and eliminate a few more bandits... "

To be fair, what ye Lianna said is very reasonable, but she is also a person with strong principles. Listening to her endless lecturing of male soldiers, I know that if I don't stop her, she can talk for another two or three hours. If my battalion needs political workers, she is a suitable candidate. But it's not the time to listen to her long talk. There are a lot of things to do.

So I interrupted her later words, turned to the male soldier and said, "that's all for today. Please go back. Please bear in mind that our primary task at present is to protect the lifeline of Leningrad with our own lives. We have no time and are not allowed to devote our energy to love. Do you understand? "

"I see, comrade commander." The soldier raised his head and straightened his back, then asked me, "can I leave now? Comrade commander. "

"Go

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

Seeing the soldier leave, ye Lianna was a little worried. She quickly pulled my sleeve and said, "Comrade major, I haven't finished my words. How can you let him go?"

I looked at the lieutenant in front of me and said coldly, "let him go, because we have more important things to do, instead of wasting our energy on these trivial things. Have you adjusted the position of your platoon? "

Hearing my question, the second lieutenant quickly came to attention and answered in a loud voice, "report, comrade major, that all the positions of the anti-aircraft guns in the second platoon have been adjusted. Please give instructions! "

When I saw kirianova and Orlova coming to us from a distance, I waved and said, "when the work is finished, you can take the soldiers in your platoon back to rest."

Ye Lianna agreed, and then issued the command of "stand at attention" and "turn back" to her group of female soldiers, and then left with them. At the end of the walk, the client, Naya, stopped and nodded to me with a smile, then quickly went to catch up with the front line. Kirianova and Orlova came up to me, stood at attention, saluted, and loudly reported: "report to battalion commander, the adjustment of the artillery position of the women's antiaircraft artillery company has been completed. Please give instructions! " I didn't return the gift. I took her hand and pulled it down from my forehead. I said, "report your work to me. You don't need to be so serious." Kiriyanova looked at me, snorted softly, and said in a poor tone: "I dare not be too casual. You are a general, but I am just an ordinary officer."“ Company commander, please pay attention to your attitude. "When Orlova saw kirianova's strange voice, she quietly pulled her sleeve and reminded her carefully. I knew in my heart that kirianova's willingness to change my attitude was because I concealed the story that I had been a general from her. "It's too cold outside. Let's go back to the tent. I'll tell you what it's like when I'm a general," she said After entering the tent, kiriyanova and I sat down around the table, while Orlova was busy making a fire and boiling tea for us. After everyone sat down, I began to tell them all about what happened in the Moscow defense war, including the details of how I met and broke up with oshanin, how I became the division commander of the close guard division, how I became the chief of staff of the 20th group army before the great counterattack, and how I was awarded the rank of major general by Stalin himself. When I heard that because I saw the tragic situation of Zhuoya's death, I ordered my men to kill all the prisoners in a rage. They cheered one after another. Orlova, in particular, said that if she had been in my position at that time, she would have given the same order as me without hesitation. The advantage of such a conversation is that it unconsciously shortens the distance between the three of us and improves their trust in me. Just talking happily, a familiar voice came from outside the tent: "comrades commander, I'm Liu da. May I come in?" Hearing that it was Liuda, kiriyanova raised her hand and looked at her watch. She was surprised and said, "it's so late that we forgot to eat dinner." She was about to call Liuda in, but she found that Orlova had taken the lead out of the tent, went to take Liuda's dinner, brought it in and put it on the table for us.
