The German air raid failed. Seeing the enemy planes flying away in despair, the female soldiers of the anti-aircraft machine gun company cheered.
Just after the battle, Lyuba and Sweta came to the battalion command post together.
Seeing the arrival of the two people, Belkin seemed particularly happy. He said with a smile: "Well done, you are all well done. It is precisely because of your outstanding performance that the enemy planes' conspiracy to bomb the high ground failed.
This greatly reduced the casualties of the defenders. On behalf of all the battalion commanders and fighters, I would like to express my gratitude to you!" After saying that, he raised his hand and gave a ring salute to the two female commanders.
After giving some compliments to the two female commanders, Sokov asked with concern: "Are there many casualties in the company?"
"When the German planes were diving, in order to avoid our anti-aircraft machine gun fire, the bombs they dropped fell far away from the air defense array." Liuba replied with a smile: "Our company did not suffer any casualties during the battle.
."
After learning that the female soldier company had no casualties in the battle, Sokov breathed a sigh of relief, but he still told Liuba: "Comrade Lieutenant, the Germans have suffered your losses today, and they will definitely retaliate. You can improve
Be alert."
"Don't worry, comrade battalion commander." Liuba said confidently: "As long as the enemy dares to send planes again, we will definitely shoot them down." After saying that, she turned her face sideways and made a gesture to Sweta next to her.
wink.
Every move of Lyuba was watched by Sokov, and he thought with some confusion: "What did Lyuba wink at Sveta? Could it be that I was dazzled and saw it wrong?"
Sweeta coughed lightly, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Two comrades, battalion commanders, actually we are here today because we have something to discuss with you."
"Comrade instructor," perhaps because the other party was also a political worker, Belkin said to her very politely: "If you have anything to do, just say it. I promise you that as long as it is within our capabilities, I will definitely help you."
You can do it.”
"That's great." Sweta looked at Liuba with surprise and continued: "That's it, Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, in order to celebrate the downing of the enemy plane today, we want to have a dance.
Some male fighters also participated..."
"No, absolutely not." Before Sweeta could finish her words, Sokov rejected her proposal without hesitation: "Instructor Sweeta, let me remind you that this is a battlefield, not a university campus.
A place for fighting, not a place for men and women to hug each other and dance.”
Neither Lyuba nor Sveta expected Sokov to refuse so simply. Lyuba asked unconvinced: "Why?"
"Why?" Sokov sneered and said: "Comrade Lieutenant, don't you know that even if only a few male soldiers are invited to the dance, there will be more than a hundred people. We don't have such a large concealment department to accommodate so many people.
People. As for having a dance party in the open space, don't even think about it. Our bonfire will point out the shooting direction for the German artillery. As long as a few artillery shells fly over, the soldiers participating in the dance will suffer heavy casualties. I don't want that.
Tragedy happens."
Seeing that the two female commanders who came with high hopes were about to leave in disappointment, Belkin stopped them. Then, he turned to Sokov and said: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I think Lieutenant Liuba can be considered."
proposal."
"But..." Sokov was about to object, but Belkin raised his hand to stop him. He smiled and said: "Comrade Battalion Commander, please listen to me first. If it is not appropriate, it is not too late to object again."
Seeing that things might take a turn for the worse, Liuba quickly urged: "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, tell me your arrangements quickly."
Belkin coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said to everyone: "When I look at the location of the dance, I will choose the open space next to the air defense position. Since there is a high ground to block it, even if we light a bonfire there, we can hold it."
The dance will not be discovered by the German artillery. As for the male soldiers participating in the dance, I think those soldiers who have performed outstandingly recently will be selected. The number is limited to ten per company, and the guard platoon is five."
After talking about his arrangement, Belkin's eyes swept over everyone, and then asked tentatively: "I wonder what you think of this arrangement?"
"I agree!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liuba was the first to express support. Sveta, who was standing next to her, saw Sokov was silent and quickly pulled her clothes gently, realizing that
Liuba, who lost her composure, curled up her neck, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and closed her mouth obediently. But her eyes still stayed on Sokov, anxiously waiting for his decision.
"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander." After hearing Belkin's arrangements, Sokov felt that there was nothing wrong with making an exception to hold a dance party on the battlefield. He pretended to be indifferent and said: "The two of us are working.
There has always been a division of labor: I have the final say on military matters; you have the final say on life matters. I think things like holding a dance should be a matter of life."
Although Sokov did not say he agreed, his statement already acquiesced that the dance could be held. After hearing what he said, Lyuba cheered like a little girl: "Ula!" and then raised her hand to her forehead.
I couldn't wait to ask, "Comrades, two battalion commanders, will you allow me to return to the army now to make preparations?"
"Allow it!" Sokov nodded and said with a smile: "You go back to the army first!"
I heard that a dance was going to be held with the female soldiers. The selected male soldiers were all cleaning up, chopping wood, and placing a circle of freshly cut wood around the bonfire.
The logs provided a place for the partygoers to sit.
Sokov and Belkin stood in the trench, looking at the scene of the male soldiers having sex in the distance, and couldn't help laughing. He said jokingly to Belkin: "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, look at these male soldiers.
I heard that you can dance with the female soldiers, and the energy you unleash is more effective than listening to any propaganda."
When Belkin heard what Sokov said, he actually said thoughtfully: "Comrade Battalion Commander, you are right. If the soldiers in our team include female soldiers in their propaganda and agitation, the effect may be
Get twice the result with half the effort.”
The two were talking in the trench when they suddenly saw two platoon leaders, Kajia and Yunia, from the female soldier company approaching. Still far away, Belgin asked first: "Comrades, two platoon leaders,
What's the matter with you?"
"That's it, Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander." Platoon Commander Kajia said with a smile: "Our company commander wants the two battalion commanders to perform a show for the comrades at tonight's dance. Lieutenant Liuba asked me
Come here and ask, what show do you want to perform?"
"Let's perform a show?" Hearing what Kajia said, Belgin actually showed a shy expression on his face. He waved his hands hurriedly and said, "I can't do this. You should find someone else."
Seeing that Belgin refused to perform, Kajia showed a disappointed expression on her face. She turned her eyes to Sokov and said pitifully: "Comrade Battalion Commander, what about you? You won't reject us too, will you?"
She turned to look at Yunia next to her, and added, "If you fail to complete the mission, you will definitely be criticized by the company commander when you return."
Sokov didn't want to embarrass the two young female soldiers. After thinking for a while, he said to Kajia: "Okay, Sergeant Kajia, in order to prevent you from going back to be criticized by Lieutenant Liuba, I decided to do it tonight."
At the dance, sing a song for the comrades."
"Great, this is great." Hearing that Sokov was willing to perform, Kajia clapped her hands excitedly, and then asked: "Comrade Battalion Commander, can you tell me what song you plan to sing?
?”
Sokov was in a hurry and couldn't think of what song he should sing, so he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Comrade Sergeant, I will keep this secret for now. You will know it when the dance is held tonight."
