Red Moscow

  Chapter 29 Asiya's Worries

  As soon as he stabbed the enemy down, Lin Hua saw several German soldiers charging towards him with guns at the other end of the trench. He quickly raised his foot to kick away the current German corpses, and was about to squat down and shoot at the opposite German soldiers. But they saw blood mist rising from the chests of the German soldiers, and then they all fell on their backs in the trenches.

  Lin Hua turned his head and saw that Seryozha and Christopher followed up and were shooting at the German army with submachine guns. The German soldiers just fell under the guns of the two of them.

  The commanders and fighters who were immobilized on the hillside by the German firepower jumped up from the ground as soon as the enemy's firepower stopped, and rushed up with shouts. The few soldiers who rushed to the front, when they were more than ten or twenty meters away from the trench, pulled the fuze off the grenade and threw it into the German trench. After a series of explosions, thick smoke mixed with flesh and blood rose from the trench.

Major Ivan, who was in the trench at the foot of the hill, saw that the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd companies had successfully charged into the enemy's position, and jumped out of the trench excitedly, holding his pistol high and shouting: "Comrades, for the sake of the motherland and for Stalin, go ahead!"

   The soldiers of the second company and the battalion directly under the battalion saw that their comrades had already rushed into the enemy's position, and they couldn't hold back for a long time. Hearing Ivan's shout at this moment, they all stood up straight, shouted "Hula", jumped out of the trench, and bravely rushed towards the German position on the high ground.

In the command post of the regiment farther from the battlefield, Lieutenant Colonel Batrakov, the head of the regiment, witnessed the whole process of the battle. Seeing the commanders and fighters of the second battalion continuously rushing to the high ground, jumping into the trenches and engaging in close combat and hand-to-hand combat with the German army, he couldn't help but grow up. He took a breath and said to Ma Linin next to him: "Thank God, Comrade Chief of Staff, our troops have finally rushed into the enemy's position."

  After listening, Ma Linin just nodded slightly, and then asked: "Batrakov, can you see who was the first to rush into the enemy's position?"

Batrakov frowned and tried to recall the scene he had just seen: a big explosion occurred in the enemy's position. Before the smoke cleared, several soldiers rushed into the enemy's position, and were suppressed by German firepower. The troops on the hillside also launched a charge... but I really didn't see clearly who was the first to charge into the enemy's position.

He shook his head, and was about to say that he didn't see it clearly, when he suddenly realized that with Ma Linin's character, he would never ask such a question for no reason. He knows them all. He turned his head to look at Ma Linin, and asked tentatively, "Could it be the son of our old comrade-in-arms?"

There was a smile on Ma Linin's face: "Yes, that's him." After a moment of silence, he added, "He is a good-looking young man, and he performed very bravely on the battlefield. After two years of training, maybe he can To be a general. Do you think so?"

Batrakov agreed with Malinin's statement: "Yes, you are right. I heard that he was a corporal last week, and now he is a lieutenant. If it continues like this, it may not be possible. In one year, even if he doesn't become a general, his military rank will surpass you and me."

  As the soldiers of the second company and the troops directly under the battalion rushed to the high ground like a tide, the German troops who were still fighting in the corner saw that the situation was not good, so they stopped their resistance one after another and surrendered to the Soviet army with their hands raised high.

  Asiya, who did not attack with the troops, rushed up the hillside with the medicine kit on her back as soon as the battle was over. Seeing the fallen soldiers' bodies on the ground, she turned them over one by one to see if Lin Hua was inside. Every time she turned over a corpse, her heartbeat would speed up, and she was deeply afraid that the next moment, that familiar face would appear in front of her.

   While she was looking at the soldier's body, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her: "Girl, what are you looking for?"

  Hearing this voice, Assia was shocked. She hurriedly turned her head and looked behind her, only to see that the person she was looking for was standing a few steps away, the military uniform on her body was full of holes, her face was blackened by the gunpowder smoke, and she was looking at her with a smile that wasn't a smile. Assia cheered, got up and threw herself into Lin Hua's arms, ignoring the eyes of the soldiers around her, and hugged Lin Hua's waist tightly, fearing that if she let go, he would disappear out of thin air.

"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Lin Hua felt that the clothes on his shoulders were wet from Asiya's tears, so he raised his hand and patted her on the back lightly, and said softly: "Didn't I tell you that the bullet that can kill you hasn't been produced yet. Don't worry, I will never let you be a widow."

Lin Hua's words made Asiya laugh out of tears, she thumped Lin Hua's shoulder lightly with her fist a few times, and took a sip: "I hate it, they haven't even said they want to marry you yet, what kind of widow is it? ugly."

  Lin Hua saw Ivan and Bukov walking towards him, and quickly lowered his head and said to Assia: "Assia, the battalion commander has something to do with me, you should go and treat the wounded first."

  Axia let go of Lin Hua, took a step back, and asked worriedly, "Are you really not injured?"

  Lin Hua shook his head like a rattle drum and replied, "No, I'm really not injured. Would you like me to take off my clothes now and let you check it." As he spoke, he gestured to untie his army coat.

Assia quickly grabbed Lin Hua's hand, and said coquettishly, "You're really annoying, you're not hurt if you're not hurt, what kind of clothes are you taking off?" After speaking, she shook Lin Hua's hand and ran away blushing .

Ivan walked to Lin Hua's side, looked at Asiya's back and said to him, "Misha, Asiya is really kind to you. As soon as the battle is over, I will go to the high ground to look for you, and I am afraid that you will be in danger. .”

  Lin Hua chuckled, and then changed the topic: "Comrade Battalion Commander, have our battle results been counted?"

Ivan nodded and said: "In this battle, 73 German soldiers were killed, 57 were captured, and a batch of guns and ammunition were seized. Our army killed 45 people and injured 38 people, including 20 casualties in your third company. "

Hearing what Ivan said, Lin Hua restrained the smile on his face, and then asked: "Comrade battalion commander, so we have less than one platoon left in our company?" Then he said, "I don't know when the higher-ups can give us supplements, so that our company can participate in the next battle as soon as possible."

"Misha, don't worry about this matter." Ivan comforted Lin Fan and said, "The superior understands our situation very well, and it won't take long for us to recruit new recruits. Let's go, let's go back to the regiment command post first. Report to the head of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Batrakov, and ask for instructions on the next combat mission by the way."
