Chapter 412

After the conversation between trakov and Zhukov, he just sat on the chair beside the phone and didn't say a word. He was so dejected that kolpakchi and gurov didn't answer the questions around him.

I just stood by and heard his conversation with Zhukov. As a front-line commander, he had foreseen the cruelty of the battle, so he tactfully proposed to Zhukov that he hoped to restore the group army's defensive position on the West Bank of the Don river. In fact, when he heard the good news, kolpakchi was also very excited. He came up to me, took the initiative to shake hands with me, and said, "major oshanina, I congratulate you. It's a great honor to be rewarded by the Supreme Commander himself. " At this point, he asked gulov: "Comrade military commissar, I don't know when the commander of the front army will send the medal?"

"General gordoff said the medal would be sent overnight. At the same time, he also suggested that we hold a short commendation meeting to publicize the heroic deeds of major oshanina and several of them in the whole army. "

"Commendation meeting?! Where should we hold this commendation meeting? " Colpakchi rubbed his hands and walked back and forth in the room, mumbling about the commendation meeting.

At this time, trakov said: "I said, general korpakchi, your anti assault operation has been postponed to 10 a.m. tomorrow? I suggest that we hold a brief commendation meeting here before the start of the counterattack, so that all the participating troops can send representatives to show them the brilliant achievements and the supreme glory of major o'shanina and her subordinates, so as to stimulate the morale of the participating troops. What do you think of my proposal? "

On hearing this, gurov clapped his hands and said, "this proposal of Comrade trakov is good. It not only achieves the purpose of commending heroes, but also effectively improves the morale of the army. This will be of great help to the attack tomorrow morning

As he was about to answer the question, colpacchi turned his head and found that I was still standing beside me like a nail. He quickly called shmikov in and told him, "Comrade captain, major o'shanina has been in a hard time these days. Today, she has been fighting for another day. She should be very tired. Take her to have a rest."

Shamilov promised, took me out of the headquarters, came to a nearby house, pointed to the house and said to me: "Comrade major, the owner of this house has been evacuated, but the things in the house are quite complete, and you can live here. You can stay here for the time being tonight."

I said thanks to him. Just as I was going to push the door in, he said at the back, "I'll call you before the commendation meeting starts. You don't have to worry about being late."

I went into the room and looked at the sheets on the bed and the neatly folded quilts. Some of them were washed and turned white. They should be the things of the original landlord. He might have left in a hurry, so he didn't have time to take them away. I went to the bed and sat down. I took off my boots and lay on the bed. I pulled over the quilt and covered myself. It wasn't long before I fell asleep.

I was sleeping soundly when I heard the bugle outside the window. I felt that it was familiar, like a collection number. When I think of the assembly, I suddenly think of the commendation meeting to be held this morning. I quickly get out of bed, put on my boots and run out.

As soon as I opened the door, Captain shamikov was trotting towards me. I guess he should have come to wake me up. He immediately took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Captain shamikov."

As soon as he looked up and saw that I was standing at the door, he said with a smile: "good morning, comrade major. I was going to wake you up, but I didn't expect you to get up first. The officers and men attending the commendation meeting are gathering. Let's go now. Don't be late. "

Captain shamikov took me to the place where the commendation meeting was going to be held. There were two or three hundred people gathered here and they stood in four squares. I asked shamikov in a low voice, "Comrade captain, where do these commanders and fighters come from?"

Shamikov replied in a low voice: "some of them are the staff of the group army headquarters, the rest are all the representatives of the troops who are going to participate in the anti assault operations today, and the five of us who are going to cooperate with us in our operations today. After shamikov, who is leading the way, we quickly come to the decorated Colonel ruhle.

Colonel ruhle looked at the medal on my chest and said with approval, "Comrade major, oh no, it's comrade commander now. It seems that you have done very well in the battle. You already have several medals. "

When he hung the new red flag medal on my chest, I raised my hand to salute him and habitually called out: "serve the Soviet motherland!"

Next, Captain Peter, who had been awarded the medal, raised his hand to salute Colonel ruhle, just like me, and called out, "serve the Soviet motherland!"

After the brief award, gurov came out to speak again, and all five of us stepped back and stood in a line not far behind him. After looking back at us, gurov said in a loud voice to the commanders and fighters in front of us, "Comrade commanders and fighters, in a few hours, we will launch a counter attack against the bandits. In combat, we should exert our brave and indomitable fighting spirit to drive the enemy out of our original positions and complete our glorious task of counterattack. At the same time, we should not be afraid of sacrifice or fatigue, and we should thoroughly and simply annihilate future enemies in continuous combat! " At this point, he raised decibels: "members of the Communist Party, members of GQT, carry forward your vanguard role and resolutely eliminate the enemy! Comrades, it's time to make contributions. Look at these commanders and fighters standing in front of you. They are your examples! Comrades, fight bravely, march forward and destroy all the enemies you see! "

The commanders and fighters were excited by gurov's words. As soon as his words fell, the slogan of "Wula" sounded in the queue!
