Wei Ran patted his chest, "And compared to the messenger bag, we only have to win this war before we need to think about these letters."
Everyone in the trenches fell into confusion after hearing this. Silent, they wishfully wanted the only postman in the main position to help them deliver the letter, but they selectively forgot the fact that the postman was also trapped in position 19.
"Otherwise..."
"I want to stay here," Wei Ran said decisively, "And even if I return to the rear at this time, I'm afraid it may not be safe. Cross the river."
"Then let's fight off the Germans together!" Aleutian patted Wei Ran hard on the shoulder.
"Victor" Zoya lowered her head and looked at the red window of the camera in her hand, "This box of film still has the last three negatives. Let me take one for you. Maybe you can get into the Communist Youth League "Pravda."
"If you really want to waste a piece of film on me, how about letting me take a photo of you?" Wei Ran suggested, suppressing his inner excitement. Just take a photo with a borrowed camera and half of the return mission is completed.
"That's not possible, I am the only one who can use my camera."
Zoya rejected Wei Ran's proposal without thinking, and then seemed to feel that such a straightforward rejection was a little bit No, he quickly explained, "My father personally seized this camera from the Germans, and it was the only thing he left to me during his lifetime."
"Sorry"
p>Wei Ran quickly retracted his extended hand, "You really should protect it, just like he wants to protect you."
"Thank you...thank you"
Zoya's mood seemed to have dropped a lot. She reached out and took out a bottle of vodka from her satchel and handed it to Captain Aleutian, "I secretly took this from the logistics department and left it for you to celebrate after you defeat the Germans." Well, I'm going to take a look at Position 18."
Watching Zoya leave, Aleushin slowly put the bottle into his pocket and said to Wei Ran with a smile on his face, "It's a man. Pretty girl, right?"
Wei Ran nodded and was about to say something, but the latter had already turned and walked towards the anti-tank gun position in the distance, and at the same time shouted, "So in order to protect these beauties Girls, we have to fight back the Germans!"
"Ula! Ula!" The soldiers who had gathered around them shouted loudly because of Zoya's arrival. A powerful response.
"Mustache has no choice but to choose such an opponent..."
Wei Ran muttered to himself and quietly left the core of the trench. He found a shady place out of the sun and continued to think about how to survive tomorrow's battle. As for how to deliver the letters in his arms, he never thought about it from beginning to end.
As the sun sets a little to the west, Position 19 is once again shrouded in darkness, but the enemy on the opposite side seems to have forgotten that the Soviet Red Army is still stationed here, and has not launched an attack all dayover any attack.
In the most spacious bunker, the soldiers who had taken a break once again placed the kerosene lamp on the wooden box next to Wei Ran, and listened expectantly as Wei Ran continued to tell them about "The postman's story." Future Stories”.
Unlike last night, this time there were more people listening to the story: Captain Aleutian and Zoya, who was sitting next to him. Looking at the slightly intimate behavior between the two of them, And from the usual attitudes of the people around them, I know that the relationship between the two of them is probably not a secret.
However, before Wei Ran could finish talking about the beautiful scenery he saw when he "went to deliver a message near Lake Baikal," Vanya bent down and got into the bunker to interrupt his nonsense, "Aleutian , you and Uncle Cyril come out.”
Captain Aleutian kissed Zoya gently on the forehead, then got up and got out of the bunker. Wei Ran, who was surrounded in the middle, stopped talking about the story, and then like everyone else, he quietly stopped talking outside the bunker.
"Beshev and Kaze are ready," Vanya explained simply.
Captain Aleutian motioned for the three of them to come together, and then whispered something. The latter kept nodding, and the expression on his face changed from uneasy and nervous to excited and even expectant. !
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"
The Aleutians raised their hands in a particularly formal salute and watched off the communications trooper Beshev, led by the veterinarian Cyril, and the artillery observers. Kaze left Position 19 and moved towards the rear of the German position in the night.
Until the shadows of the three men completely disappeared at the corner of the trench, the Aleutian company commander winked at Vanya, and then got back into the bunker with an excited expression on his face.
“Comrades, there is good news.”
The Aleutian company commander said with joy, “Just now Vanya got a piece of news from behind the position, because Zoya a few days ago According to reports, Position 19 has been given the opportunity to elect the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. This precious title can be awarded to an artillery crew, a combat team, or even an individual who has shown bravery.”
< p>"Hero of the Soviet Union?!""Oh my God! If I get this title of hero, is it possible to meet Comrade Stalin?"
"Of course! I read the newspaper Many Soviet heroes in the world were personally received by Stalin!"
The underground bunker that was already crowded with people immediately turned into a lively vegetable market, and everyone except Wei Ran was talking to each other! They were discussing who they could meet after getting this title, and who was most likely to get this title.
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet."
The Aleutian company commander tapped the enamel jar in his hand with his pistol. "As for who is qualified to be elected as the Hero of the Soviet Union, it depends on what happens next. The performance of the battle. Now I give you a task, to convey the news of the selection of Soviet heroes to the ears of every living person in position 19. In addition, in five minutes, we will also use mortars to inform the other side of the good news.The Germans, let them cooperate with us a little in the next battle! ”
“Ula! "I don't know which excited soldier took the initiative to shout loudly. This voice was like a long howl in a pack of wolves, which immediately aroused a wave of response.
Soon, the originally crowded bunker left Wei Ran, who was completely exhausted and deliberately stayed until the end, stopped when he passed the Aleutian Captain, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Really? "
"Maybe it's true. This is the only way I can think of to motivate them. " Before Captain Aleutian finished speaking, he had already passed by Wei Ran and headed to the other end of the trench.
In less than five minutes, the only two 120mm guns in position 19 were The artillery began to roar, hitting high-explosive artillery shells weighing 16 kilograms on the opposite German position.
This is a rare active attack on the opposite side of Position 19 in recent times. Although the Germans, who already had the advantage in firepower, didn't understand why they were going crazy for a while, they responded quickly and directed the artillery to fire back the dense ammunition.
On both sides, the Germans responded. In a dense forest on the side, veterinarian Cyril, with communications officer Beshev and artillery observer Kaze, took advantage of the Germans' full attention to speed up and rush towards their rear.
