We walked through the ruins of the city. Under the guidance of the commanders and fighters we met, we successfully avoided the enemy''s firepower points and arrived at the headquarters of the group army without danger.


    When we were 50 or 60 meters away from the headquarters, from a collapsed building on the side of the road, a stern voice suddenly came out: "who, stop!"


    Hearing the sudden sound, I instinctively crouched down and hid behind a pile of bricks and stones. Looking back, I found that the accompanying soldiers and Yushchenko were still standing in place. I thought they didn''t react, so they yelled to Yushchenko in a low voice: "Hey, Captain, what are you doing there? Why don''t you squat down?"


    After listening to my words, Yushchenko didn''t squat down. Instead, he took a step forward and asked aloud in the direction of the voice: "is it lieutenant vorenzov?"


    When I heard Yushchenko asking the people who were shouting, I immediately guessed that he might be nervous. I quickly stood up from the squatting place and looked at the ruins of the building attentively. From the gap on the wall, several helmeted commanders and fighters came out quickly. Seeing their familiar bullet proof vests, I knew that they were all members of the guard platoon that we sent to protect the safety of the headquarters of the group army.


    A second lieutenant came to Yushchenko quickly. After standing at attention, he straightened his body and reported to him, "report to company commander, special guard company, one platoon and one group are carrying out the guard task, please give instructions!"


    Yushchenko nodded, and then told him briefly, "keep alert!"


    The second lieutenant turned and told the soldiers who followed him out of the gap: "all go back and continue to guard!" After that, he came to me and stood at attention. Then he said in a loud voice, "Sir, please allow me to guide you to the headquarters."


    "Lead the way ahead."


    After hearing my order, the second lieutenant turned around and acted as a guide for us.


    After a while, we came outside the underground shelter of the headquarters. Lieutenant vorenzov, the guide, stopped, pointed to the entrance where two Sentinels were on guard and said, "Comrade division, after you go in there, go straight ahead and you will see a fork in the road. Turn left. The second room on your left is the commander''s headquarters. There are many commanders meeting in it tonight."


    I took off the AK47 I was carrying and handed it to Yushchenko, who was following me. At the same time, I told him, "Comrade captain, take your people to hide nearby and shoulder the work of the guard headquarters side by side. Do you understand? " When I said the last sentence, I accentuated it.


    "I understand!" Yushchenko replied loudly: "I will immediately arrange for people to guard the neighborhood. I will never let a German approach here."


    I walked into the half buried headquarters, walked along the low narrow passage, and kept raising my hands to salute the commanders and fighters who saluted me. The more I go in, the more uncomfortable I feel. It''s not only stuffy, but also a bad smell. If I''m not going to a meeting, I really don''t want to stay here for a second. And trakov, they live in such an environment every day, and they don''t know how they stick to it.


    I followed the instructions of lieutenant vorenzov and went to the outside of trakov''s headquarters. It was full of people. I didn''t care to check what people were in it, so I strode in. After seeing the location of trakov and gurov, I raised my hand to salute them, and loudly reported, "report commander, comrade military commissar, division chief of red flag independent division, o''shanina, has come to report to you, waiting for your instructions."


    "Comrade o''shanina is here." The nearest guroff stood up, and at the same time extended his hand to me with a smile.


    After I shook hands with gurov, I shook hands with trekov who stood up. Trekov''s hands were all bandaged. Instead of touching my hand directly, he put his palm on my wrist. After clenching it, he shook it a few times, which meant he had shaken it.


    I stared at trakov''s bandaged hand and asked nervously, "Comrade commander, what''s the matter with you? Have you been wounded in the battle?"


    "It''s all damned eczema, and it''s so wet here that my hands are infected, so I have to put on gauze." After that, he stared at the strange shape of the bullet proof clothes I was wearing and asked with a smile, "Comrade o''shanina, do you think this so-called bullet proof clothes are really as powerful as those in the legend? If we can really stop the bullets coming from the opposite side, our soldiers will become invulnerable. In that case, do we still use the plane cannons that are afraid of the bandits? "


    Trikov''s words caused the commanders on the scene to laugh, and the atmosphere of silence became relaxed. I know that trekov is teasing me, so I don''t mind. After everyone finished laughing, I solemnly asked trekov, "Comrade commander, I don''t know what the main topic of this meeting you are holding today?"


    "What else can be discussed? Of course, it''s about festivals." Trikov happily replied: "I''m going to make the commanders and soldiers of the whole army eat a hot Siberian dumpling. So I ordered commander spasov, who is in charge of logistics, to distribute meat to all divisions to ensure that each soldier has 200 grams of meat. After the meeting, you can send someone to spasov to collect the necessary materials. As for the second point, "his expression suddenly became serious," since tomorrow is the October Revolution Day, we must do something as a gift to this important festival. On this day of last year, in our great capital, Moscow, there was a military parade that the enemy did not expect. After leaving Red Square, the troops participating in the parade went directly to the front line and continued to fight with the ferocious enemy stubbornly. "


    As trakov spoke, I looked around curiously and found many familiar faces. In addition to the chief of staff and the director of the political department, they are also the division heads of various divisions, such as lyudnikov, rodimzev, guriyev, roluev, gorishner, and their deputy division heads and political commissars. When everyone and my eyes met, they all nodded to me with a smile, which was regarded as greeting me. When trakov finished, there was a sudden silence in the room. After a while, general rodimzev took the lead in asking, "Comrade commander, if I understand correctly, do you intend to launch an attack tomorrow to celebrate our great festival with victory?"“ Exactly right, comrade rojmtsev. " Seeing that rodymzev had guessed his intention, trakov nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "we will teach the enemy a lesson tomorrow, so that they can no longer do as they like now."“ Comrade commander, with all due respect. " Lyudnikov stood up and said, "I want to ask where and with what kind of forces the group army command plans to launch a significant counterattack against the enemy tomorrow."“ "Colonel lyudnikov," said trakov in a regretful tone, "under the present circumstances, we can not get any supplement, so we can only rely on the existing forces to counterattack the German forces face to face and try to drive them away from our position." After listening to trakov, lyudnikov sat down without a word, while Col. gorishner, who was sitting next to me, sighed softly. Gurov''s ears were very good. He heard the groaning of gorishner. He called his name and asked, "Comrade Colonel, I want to ask you, why do you sigh?" Gorishner got up from his seat, looked at trakov first, then at gurov, and asked cautiously, "Comrade military commissar, can I tell the truth?" After grunting from his nose, gurov said angrily, "no matter how beautiful a lie is, I just want to hear from your heart." After gorishner got gurov''s permission, he had a lot of confidence. He said carefully: "I think it''s meaningless to simply drive the enemy away from our position. Because our troops are limited now, even if we recover these defensive areas, we will not have enough troops to defend them. When the new round of German attack begins, our troops will have to give up these places because they can''t resist it. " Guriyev first disagreed with gorishner''s words. As soon as gorishner''s words were finished, he immediately stood up and gave a tit for tat opinion: "I think it was in the recent battle that Colonel gorishner was terrified by the temporary strength of the Communist aggressors that he made such absurd remarks."“ General guriyev is right. I agree with him. " Major general ruolujaf, the commander of the 37th division of the guards, promptly supported guriyev, pointed the spearhead at gorishner and said: "although we have fewer people, our soldiers are all fearless warriors, and no force can defeat them." For the dispute between several teachers, whether it is trekov or gurov, did not interrupt them, but quietly listen to them expound their own views. After all three of them finished, trakov turned to look at me and asked, "Comrade oshanina, I want to hear your opinion. What do you think of your counterattack tomorrow?"“ Comrade commander, "I cautiously replied when I heard trekov ask me this question," I think your idea is correct. In addition to a victory to celebrate the great October Revolution Day, we also need to make use of this battle to strengthen the confidence of the commanders and fighters of the whole group army to continue to fight, so that they can understand that although the Germans have the advantage, in the end, the German army will continue to fight, They are bound to be defeated by us.
