After that, Eva and I took off to fight many times, and the reputation of "the white demon of the Confederate forces" was widely spread among Nazi pilots. Once I appeared on the battlefield, more than three rune planes would immediately pounce on me

Come on. But this does not pose a threat to Eva and me who have already crossed the highest hurdle.

But just like after I became the best hunter in the tundra, I would sweat constantly when I hunted, and every time I returned from the battle, my flight jacket was so wet that I could wring out the water. For this reason, Eva laughed at me a lot.

It made me hate this "habit" for the first time, but no matter how hard I tried, it just couldn't be changed, so I had to give up in the end.

My record continued to grow, and by the time I took off from Lar Airport in Valkyrie 1, my shooting down had exceeded one hundred.

Under my guidance, the Fourth Air Hunting Brigade stationed in Lar Airport also became the most terrifying Confederate Air Force unit in the entire war zone at that time. Axis Air Force pilots called the airspace near Lar the "Jacques Corridor"

All small teams below ten are far away from this area. The Confederate Air Force headquarters issued an order that the pilots who shot down more than ten in the Chartered Fourth Battalion decided to paint the landlines themselves. Later, as the war progressed, this practice was

Promoted to the entire army.

However, although I and the brigade I temporarily managed to obtain brilliant results, they still could not change the increasingly worse battle situation at that time.

The Kiev Front was completely destroyed, and the Bryansk Front was blocked in the narrow area around the Bryansk Fortress. It was entirely supported by the Confederate Navy's Polar Sea Fleet. The Central Army Group, which completed the encirclement and annihilation of Kiev, was supplemented.

After a large number of tanks, they started attacking Minsk again, while the well-equipped armed SS 4th Armored Army, who had been newly launched into the battlefield, tore a terrifying wound on the front line of Minsk. The Nazi, known as the armored fox, was known as the Nazis.

The "high tide" tactic of famous general Rommel caught the commanders of the Confederate Army off guard.

Although the Confederate Army Command in the Western Continent has assembled the number of troops of the attacking Axis forces around Minsk, more and more people are still experiencing the ability to successfully defend Minsk, the largest city in the Western Continent.

Feel suspicious.

This is how war is. It actually competes with human will. An army without morale and confidence in victory. No matter how many there are, it will be defeated.

The senior Air Force and the military political departments began to increasingly demand that the Fourth Battalion's fancy ace fighter jets cruise at low altitudes above our positions, which to a certain extent saved the increasingly declining morale of the Confederate Army.

The famous "Guards" system in the army also began to be implemented at this time. Those troops fighting bravely would be awarded the title of "Guards" and would have unique military flags and numbers.

But the effects of all these measures cannot offset the huge damage caused to morale by the enemy's successive victory.

Moreover, the decline on the ground gradually spread to the air. As the overall combat power of the Confederate Air Force in the Western Continent continued to weaken, the enemy began to turn their fingers to the Fourth Battalion stationed in Lar, and they continued to invade the Lar airspace with large groups of aircraft.

, forcing us to fight against enemy aircraft several times our own side, and Lar City was bombed by enemy aircraft again and again, so that Pugabov had to take Valkyrie No. 1 project team again and again.

This time they moved to Lar Airport, and together they were transferred to the airport were two other aerial hunting brigades, an anti-aircraft artillery regiment, and an inner guard regiment composed of strong-willed sailors.

On the day of the transfer, Pugabashif pulled me to the corner where I assigned to the project team to use the hangar.

"What's wrong." When he spoke, Pugaboff looked nervous like he told me the secret of Valkyrie One last time, "We were blown up by the Nazis in the assembly workshop of Lar.

Time, a lot of equipment was lost, and even the weapons crew that were ready to be installed on Valkyrie One was blown up. When I reported to my superiors that Valkyrie One might not be able to complete, they were sent from Minsk soon

A brand new component is here.”…

Pugaqiaof paused, squinted his eyes and swept around him, then grabbed my arm and pulled my ears to his mouth, muttering in a low voice: "This is just my guess. I thought Val before

The reason why there is a 'No. 1' in the code name of Kiri One is to confuse the enemy's intelligence department, but now I think, maybe this is really to distinguish it from the prototype excavated from other relics.

Maybe 'Valkyrie II' has been assembled in Minsk and sent away, so they will deliver spare parts to us..."

Pugaqiaofu's words reminded me of Peng Chuk's face for no reason.

——So that’s why there is only a naval officer in the Dunn Fleet. I’m afraid that we pilots and Valkyrie One are all baits prepared for the Axis powers. The things that are actually sent to the Eastern Continent are probably already

He was secretly transported away by the naval fleet.

At this moment, I don’t feel betrayed. This may be because I personally gained a lot of valuable things in the process of acting as bait!

I just feel sorry for Aksinia who died unjustly. When I get on Valkyrie One and fly over the sea, I must bring a bouquet of flowers. I will land at the Youth League Weather Station again, and then

Put this bouquet of flowers in front of the ice cellar that buried Axisinia.

In the days that followed, Pugaqiaov's assembly work was going on day and night, while I still took off to fight every day and captured more and more enemy planes.

At the same time, the front lines on the ground are constantly approaching Lar, known as the "Minsk Gate".

At the end of August, the first super-long-range heavy rune gunpowder cannon equipped by the Axis Army fell near the airport. After that, the shells fell around the airport every now and then, causing panic. In addition, the airport was stationed at the airport.

The increasingly serious casualties of the Air Force, the haze that enveloped all the Confederate troops in the Western Continent, finally came to us.

The entry of the Army Hospital belonging to the Sixth Division of the 162nd Army made this haze even thicker.

At that time, the army had so many wounded people that they could not squeeze out in Lar City and the surrounding villages, so the commander of the Sixth Division who was disarmed near Lar Airport fell in love with the airport's relatively empty Air Force Hospital (it was empty because the pilot was injured.

It's rarely come back after that).

Later, the airport hospital could not accommodate the injured, so the airport had to vacate a hangar to accommodate the slightly injured soldiers.

Pilots and ground crew members at the entire Lar Airport passed the hangar where the wounded were stored every day. The strong smell of blood and the wailing from time to time were incalculable to morale.

Fortunately, among the pilots at the Lar base, I was the second Confederate air combat ace, and the other was the second largest air combat ace after me.

Tank Terminator for tanks and thousands of cars.

It is precisely because of us ace pilots that the morale of the troops can barely be maintained.

However, the political department at the airport is still worried about morale.

So on a Saturday night in mid-September, the airport decided to hold a dance for the pilots.

After learning about the dance, Eva was so happy. As soon as our flight mission ended that day, she jumped out of the cockpit and headed straight to the dormitory to prepare clothes, not even having to eat.

By the time I brought the meal back to the dormitory, Eva was already dressed neatly, her brand new military dress was so hot that it was flat, and the fallen seal was hung on her flat chest. The second-level Red Star Medal, which was awarded her a week ago, was given a second-level Red Star Medal.

It was hung alone on the left chest and heart mouth.

“As for that excited?”

"Because I like singing and dancing very much."...

Looking at Eva who was spinning around happily in front of the mirror, I suddenly wanted to tease her a little, so I asked her: "You, you're playing so crazy, be careful to reveal your nature! Or are you planning to take this opportunity to

Everyone show your nature?”

Who knew that Eva stopped looking at herself in the mirror, but turned around and looked at me seriously and asked, "Grisha, what do you think I should do? Do you like the real me more, or pretend to be me

?”

Eva's words reminded me of one of the "secrets" taught to me by Lukanin. He told me that girls sometimes like to ask boring questions, such as "Who do you like more than me and who do you like",

Or "If I do, will you like me more after doing this?" Lukanin warned me that when encountering these problems, you must not tell the truth, but insist that you like her, and that it is real. Now

Her.

Lukaning is undoubtedly a master of love, and his "experience" has indeed helped me a lot, but this time, I don't plan to follow his teachings.

Because while Eva asked me this question, the answer was already revealed in my heart, and I decided to tell the truth.

"Eva, I have been thinking for a long time, is that quiet and steady you really pretended?" I paused and tidied up my thoughts a little, while Eva looked at me silently.

I cleared my throat seriously, and continued to say to her with a serious expression: "In the end, my conclusion is that the expressions you showed to me and the words you said to me in a good girl state, I want me to admit that they are all

It is pretending, it is hypocritical, and that is absolutely impossible. I don’t think they are made by anyone. Maybe you really pretended to be like this at the beginning, but maybe you will be in the days that come.

The experience gradually changed you, or as the saying goes, external changes gradually penetrated into the inner world. In short, I think the quiet and steady you are also your true nature."

After I said these long words, the dormitory fell into silence, and it took a long time to break the silence by Eva's voice: "Grisha, why did you say so many literary words at once? Look at me

All were scared by you..."

"Yes, I was scared to tears."

"Yes, you scared me to tears, so I decided to eat." Eva snatched the lunch box from me as she said something that could not be a causal relationship.

At the beginning of the dance party that night, everything was normal. Eva refused to leave all the men who invited her to dance, and pulled me to dance one song after another. We danced in the open space between the hangars, accordion and harmonica.

The melody played by the simple band surrounds us, as if war is gradually moving away from us, and a happy and fulfilling peace day will come tomorrow as soon as you wake up.

But this joy was quickly broken.

A sad song came from the hangar where the lightly wounded people were housed. The song replaced the joyful dance music with almost no energy.

The people on the temporary dance floor stopped dancing and looked in the direction where the song came.

The wounded, wearing bandages, walked out of the hangar at any time, and occupied the lawn in front of the hangar, either squatting or sitting.

What they sang was the ancient Cossack song Eva had recited on the grassland. The sad melody left the joy that had been shrouded in me and Eva for a moment.

The political and military officers who organized the dance were gathering together, seemingly discussing countermeasures. At the same time, among the ground soldiers surrounding the dance floor, someone was singing softly.

At this time, I noticed that Eva was looking at the wounded soldiers who were a distance away from us with a gentle and sad look that I was already familiar with...

"Are you going to show your singing voice?" I asked Eva.

Eva bit her lip, still looking at the wounded soldiers, and said to me in a gentle but firm tone: "I have been with you recently, Grisha, whether it is to annihilate the enemy from heaven or to be interviewed by the military newspaper on the ground.

, or chat with rookies who have just joined the army in the pilot club, I am all by your side. Looking at these, I gradually understood one thing: ace pilots don’t just go to heaven to annihilate the enemy. So ace

The pilot's partner's mission is not just about operating the rune system."

Speaking of this, Eva finally took her eyes back from the wounded. She smiled a little shyly at me. After a moment, she lowered her head and gently pressed her forehead against my chest.

"And, since we escaped from Kiev, we have witnessed so many people who have been willing to die, and witnessed their beliefs. I feel that accepting these beliefs and letting more people know that it is us who have survived the battlefield.

the obligation of the person.”

Yes, if we are defeated and lose our homeland, then those who die will really die in vain.

"I'll borrow an accordion."
