Red Moscow

When the convoy of the female soldier company drove towards the station in the south of Sushinich, Sokov and Liuba were both sitting in the cab of the first truck. Sokov was acting as a guide, showing the driver the way; and Liuba wanted to learn more about the situation in the south of the city from Sokov.

Seeing that Sokov was alone, Liuba couldn't help asking curiously: "Comrade Captain, I want to ask, why did you come to the city alone without even a guard? Are you not afraid of danger on the road?" ?”

"Lieutenant Liuba, I didn't go back to the city alone." Sokov explained to her: "During last night's battle, we captured several howitzers from the Germans, and I was ordered to send the artillery to the I went back to the city. As for not bringing the guards, I did it on purpose."

"Why?" Sokov's words aroused Liuba's curiosity.

"You should know that there is a severe shortage of troops in the city, and everyone is trying to find ways to replenish their own troops." Sokov said with a wry smile, "If I bring a guard into the city and the division commander or commander sees them, if they Let me leave half of the fighters for them, do you think I will give them?"

"So that's how it is." After listening to Sokov's explanation, Liuba had a clear expression on her face. She pointed to Sokov's nose and said, "Comrade Captain, you are really cunning."

With the help of trucks, the six-kilometer distance was covered in just over 20 minutes.

Seeing the position ahead, Liuba quickly asked: "Comrade Captain, where do you plan to arrange our company?"

"There." Sokov pointed to the place where the 3rd Battalion of the 972nd Infantry Regiment once stayed, and said to Liuba: "There is a command post and a dozen or so concealed posts there. Your company should be temporarily stationed there."

"Then where should our anti-aircraft machine guns be deployed?" Liuba continued to ask.

Ever since he learned that the women's anti-aircraft machine gun company was to be placed under his command, Sokov had been thinking about where the position should be arranged. Hearing Liuba's question at this moment, he replied confidently: "From where you live to the foot of the mountain on the northern slope, there is an open area. You can deploy air defense positions in that area."

The soldiers on guard found a convoy approaching the position and hurriedly reported to Belkin by phone. Belkin, who got the news, walked out of the command post, led a few soldiers from the guard platoon, and walked towards the convoy, wanting to ask which part of the troops came.

Seeing Belkin leading someone over, Sokov quickly asked the driver to stop, then opened the door and jumped out of the car. Seeing that the person coming out of the driver's cab was actually Sokov, Belkin couldn't help asking curiously: "Comrade Battalion Commander, what troops are you coming with?"..." Before he finished speaking, I saw Liuba coming out of the cab, and the female anti-aircraft machine gunners coming down one after another from the car behind.

"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, why are you in a daze?" Sokov led Liuba and Sveta to meet Belkin and introduced him, "Let me introduce to you, they are from the women's anti-aircraft machine gun company." Commander, this is the company commander, Lieutenant Liuba, and that is the instructor Sveta." Then, he turned to Liuba and Sveta and said, "This is Comrade Belgin, the political deputy battalion commander."

After the two sides saluted and shook hands, Belkin enthusiastically said to Liuba and the others: "Comrades, two commanders, it's too cold outside. Let's go back to the battalion headquarters first. It's warm there."

Regarding Belkin's kind invitation, Liuba said with some embarrassment: "It's because my soldiers are still here."

"Don't worry, I will settle them down." After Belkin finished speaking, he turned to look at Sokov, wanting to hear how he arranged the accommodation for the female soldiers. Seeing Sokov pointing to the place where the former 972nd Infantry Regiment lived, he immediately understood. He turned around and told Sergey who was following him: "Sergesha, take someone to help the female soldiers to live there first." Down."

Just when Sokov and Belkin took Liuba to the battalion command post, the soldiers staying warm in the hidden department learned from the sentinels that a group of female soldiers had come, and rushed to the camp one after another. In the trenches, they continued to comment: "Wow, it's really a female soldier. I thought that kid Anton lied to me, but it turned out to be true."

"I've seen it. Where did the female soldiers come from? There are so many, dozens of them."

"Brothers, it's been a long time since we've seen so many women. We'll go find them later."

"No, no. Their expressions are too serious, so it shouldn't be easy to get close to them."

…………

The female soldiers who passed by not far away blushed with shame when they heard the chattering discussions of the male soldiers. They lowered their heads in unison, and at the same time quickened their pace, wanting to leave the place of trouble as soon as possible.

Seeing the reaction of the female soldiers, the male soldiers became more and more proud. They whistled desperately at the female soldiers, trying to attract the attention of the female soldiers. There was even a male soldier who shouted loudly at the female soldiers: "Hey, girls, we are from the Istria camp. If you have anything to do, you can come to us. We are very willing to serve young girls like you." ..."

He was shouting vigorously when he suddenly felt someone slap his steel helmet hard. He turned his head and was about to explode, but saw the company commander Vanya standing seriously behind him. He immediately died down in fright, quietly greeted other soldiers who watched the excitement, and slipped back to his shelter.

Vanya stood in the trench with his hands behind his back. Looking at the dozens of young female soldiers, he frowned and asked the sentinel standing next to him, "Sentry, where did they come from?"

After hearing the questions from Vanyaar and others, the sentinel quickly replied, "They came back with the battalion commander. The two female commanders who led the team have followed the two battalion commanders to the command post."

"Playing the qin indiscriminately, it's just playing the qin indiscriminately." Vanya said dissatisfied in his heart: "Our men are not dead yet, how can we let women go to the battlefield? No, I have to talk to the battalion commander and let him Send these female soldiers back." Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards the battalion command post.

Vasily was chatting with the second company commander Andrei in the shelter when he heard a soldier come in and report: "Comrade two company commanders, go out and have a look. A group of female soldiers came from nowhere. Our brothers are all here. Watching the fun outside."

The two walked out of the shelter, just in time to see dozens of female soldiers walking towards the idle fortifications behind Sergesha. Andre said a little puzzled: "Vassily, what do you think the superior sent such a group of people here? They can't be like male soldiers, holding guns to fight the Germans with bayonets, right?"

Vasya's eyes were sharp, and he had seen the truck parked in the distance and the anti-aircraft machine gun behind him, so he smiled and said to Andre: "Andre, don't worry, the superior will never let these female soldiers, Follow us to bayonet the Germans. Look at the trucks over there and the anti-aircraft machine guns behind them, the superiors should have sent them to strengthen our air defense."
