Lin Hua left the division headquarters and returned to his team. Andre immediately asked with concern: "Comrade platoon leader, what is the mission of our platoon?"
"The order given to us by the division headquarters is to rush to the village of Klyukovo immediately and take up defense tasks." Lin Hua said angrily: "Comrade Andrei, I guess we won't have any battles for a long time." When he learned that the next combat mission was to go to a small village with the same name as the city to perform a defense mission, Andre couldn't help showing a disappointed expression on his face. He said angrily: "No way, comrade platoon leader,
Since it is an order from a superior, we can only execute it unconditionally."
A guide sent by the division took Lin Hua and his soldiers on foot for several kilometers before arriving at a small village. An elderly second lieutenant officer was standing at the entrance of the village with his hands behind his back.
The soldier leading the way quickly stepped forward to salute him and reported: "Second Lieutenant Vasily, I have been ordered to bring the new troops."
The second lieutenant nodded to the other party and said politely: "Thank you for letting you run so far. Please come to the village and have a cup of hot tea."
The soldier hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, Second Lieutenant Vasily, I'm still rushing back to recover." After saying that, he raised his hand to salute the other party, turned around and left quickly.
As soon as Lin Hua and other soldiers left, he quickly came to the second lieutenant. After raising his hands in salute, he said: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, Sergeant Sokov, the commander of the Khimki Town garrison platoon, is reporting to you that our platoon was ordered to come here.
Take over the defense, please give instructions!"
The second lieutenant raised his hand to return the salute, walked straight to the soldiers who had just lined up, and said loudly: "Comrades, I am second lieutenant Vasily, welcome you!..."
While Second Lieutenant Vasily was speaking, Lin Hua was carefully observing the situation in the village. Half of the buildings in the village must have been destroyed by the war. Of the wooden houses that were originally in those places, only some burned black roof beams remained.
Lin Hua waited for Vasily to finish speaking to the soldiers and immediately asked him for instructions: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, where do our troops live?"
"According to the rules, you should live in ordinary people's homes." The second lieutenant glanced at the troops in front of him, then turned to look at it. Only half of the village was left. He said with some embarrassment: "But this village was abandoned half a month ago.
, half of it was destroyed in the German attack. When the villagers waited for the battle to end and returned to the village, many people found that their homes no longer existed. Now they are all crowded together. If our
If soldiers continue to live in civilian houses, many people will have no place to stay."
Lin Hua turned to look at the village again and saw a relatively complete wooden house to the south of the village. He pointed at the house with his hand and said to Vasily: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, we can live there." p>
Vasily looked in the direction of his finger. After seeing the wooden house clearly, he nodded and replied: "Comrade Sergeant, that is the village barn. Although there is no food stored, there is a lot of straw piled up there."
, you and your subordinates should have no problem living there."
Vasily led his troops to the barn. When the door opened, an unpleasant smell immediately hit his nose. Seeing that everyone instinctively covered their noses with their hands, Vasily said apologetically: "
Sorry, comrades, this place has not been used for a long time, so it will inevitably smell a bit. Just open the door for a while and it will be fine."
"Comrades, don't be stunned." Lin Hua removed his hand covering his nose, looked at the messy barn, and told the soldiers: "Hurry and tidy up this place, we will still be living here later.
"After hearing Lin Hua's instructions, the soldiers rushed into the barn and started cleaning.
Seeing the soldiers starting to clean up, Vasily said to Lin Hua: "Comrade Sergeant, come with me for a walk, and I will introduce you to the situation in the village."
Lin Hua guessed that the other party might have something to say, so he asked Andre to stay and direct the soldiers to clean up, while he followed Vasily towards the outside of the village.
"Comrade Sergeant," Vasily pointed at the burned houses and asked, "Do you know how these houses were burned down?"
Hearing this question, Lin Hua shook his head instinctively, thinking that I didn't see it with my own eyes, how could I possibly know how these houses were burned down?
Vasily didn't seem to want to get any answer from Lin Hua at all, but said to himself: "Half a month ago, a platoon of soldiers was stationed in this village. Facing the fierce attack of the German army, they fought tenaciously
The battle lasted for three days. Even when only the last seven men were left in the platoon, the platoon leader led the soldiers to bravely charge towards the enemy. In the end, except for one seriously wounded man, all the remaining soldiers died. And these buildings
The objects were destroyed by German artillery fire during those days of fighting."
After listening to Vasily's story, Lin Hua suddenly had an idea in his mind and said to himself: No wonder when he heard the place name Kryukovo, he felt so familiar. It turned out that before he traveled through time, he had performed in a cultural performance at the Victory Festival.
In the middle of the movie, I heard the song "In the Village of Klyukovo", which was a song praising the soldiers who defended the village of Klyukovo. Thinking of this, Lin Hua couldn't help but feel sorry for those soldiers who died heroically in order to defend the village of Klyukovo.
We are in awe.
Vasily took him to the west of the village. Here, you can see a circular trench outside the village. From the scorched earth, bomb craters everywhere, and a damaged German tank in the distance, you can imagine the battle at that time.
How intense.
Lin Hua looked at the simple fortifications outside the village and asked Vasily curiously: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, did the soldiers who defended the village rely on such simple fortifications to hold on for three days under the fierce German offensive?" p>
"Yes, our brave warriors blocked the German attack with such simple fortifications." Vasily pointed to the tank wreckage in the distance and continued: "The warriors do not have any anti-tank weapons. Seeing the Germans
When the tank rushed towards the village, two soldiers strapped bombs to their bodies and rushed forward to kill the enemy tank together." Lin Hua took off his military cap and looked at the destroyed German tank in the distance.
Silently mourning for the two warriors who bombed the tanks.
After Lin Hua put on his military cap again, Vasily said to him: "Comrade Sergeant, although our army is currently besieging the city of Klyukovo, can we capture the city and drive the enemy far away from this area?"
We still don't know. Therefore, this village must have troops to defend it to prevent possible German attacks."
"Comrade Second Lieutenant," Lin Hua analyzed from the song he remembered that the German army would not launch a second attack, so he was full of confidence in defending the village. He waited for the other party to finish speaking, and immediately expressed his position:
"Please rest assured that as long as we line up here, the village of Kryukovo will be impregnable and no more Germans will be allowed to enter this village."
