... what happened after I fell down, I finally remembered.

I remember when I opened my eyes, I was lying on a temporary stretcher. Several male soldiers were carrying me along in the dense forest. Kirianova, the platoon leader, followed the stretcher closely, wiping tears secretly.

"Kiriyanova," I called her in a weak voice. She bent down, grabbed my right hand and asked me with concern, "how are you feeling, Rita?"

"I'm not going to die. When I die, who will take care of my mother and my son, Alec?" I can't help saying this, though I didn't want to say it. It seems that Lida's body has the final say in my own body.

Kirianova nodded and wiped her tears, comforting me and saying, "Rita, no, no, you won't die. Hold on a little longer, and we'll be back at the station soon. "

*********************************************

In the woods at dawn, birds sing and mist curls. When I saw my son alik, I always felt very happy. When I walked, I found that my boots were wet with dew. I immediately remembered that the mud on my boots had exposed my whereabouts, so I sat down, took off my boots and carried them on my shoulder.

I pattered along with my bare feet, my boots dangling behind my back. I have to hurry up now. I've been on the road for too long this time. If I go back late, I'll be in trouble if brigadier vaskov finds out.

At this time, I heard some voices, someone carefully pulled the branches in front of me and came over.

"It's not a patrol, is it?" My heart beat so fast that I had no certificate. I was caught by them and would be sent to the brigadier. In that case, I would have to be shut down by vaskov.

All of a sudden, I heard voices - some incomprehensible words, and someone's laughter

"What are they saying? Why can't I understand?" I am a little puzzled to think, all of a sudden, I came to realize: This is the German devils! It's German!

I flashed into the trees, held my breath, and watched the road ahead through the sparse leaves. The first person to come out was a tall man in a camouflage shirt. In his right hand, he held a small rectangular bag tightly strapped with a belt. On his chest, he hung a German submachine gun. He looked back. For a moment, another man in the same dress came out of the woods, carrying the same bag, but shorter. I couldn't help it. I moved a little. The dwarf tree shook and the dew spilled all over me.

Two strangers looked around warily, and I didn't dare move any more. He pulled off the boat cap on his head and blocked his mouth, so as not to make a noise to disturb them. He just looked at the two strangers with wide eyes. Yes, this is the German devils. They lowered their voices and talked, slowly approaching my hiding place.

At the very first moment, I realized that I was helpless, so I was very afraid to think that the Germans would soon find me, and I was totally desperate... I knew that everything was over, and my fate had been decided. I would never see my comrades in arms, my mother and Alek. In a few minutes, I would no longer live in the world, Everything will never exist for me.

Fortunately, the two German soldiers murmured a few words and went on. Hiding in the trees, I saw the German soldiers disappear in the woods, and carefully observed the direction of the German soldiers. Except for the singing of birds, no one appeared.

Then I burst out of the trees and rushed to the stream. Regardless of the density of the trees and the depth of the stream, I ran forward recklessly until I ran to the 171 meeting station where the troops were stationed and reported to vaskov and kiriyanova about the discovery of the German in the woods.

Then we organized a small team to hunt down the two German devils. Led by brigadier vaskov. In addition to me, there are soldiers garka, Lisa, German speaking Sonia, and platoon sharpshooter Genoa.

I thought it would be easy for six of us to deal with two German devils. We were very relaxed along the way. Along the way, Genoa kept teasing vaskov, who always said "according to the code of conduct...", while Lisa, who was secretly in love with the brigadier, kept saying good things for the brigadier.

Under the guidance of the brigadier, we went through the swamp and set up a blocking position in line with the code of conduct on the only way for the German devils. We were ready to launch a blocking battle with ease and strive to capture a German soldier. However, when I saw the German devils coming out of the woods with my telescope, not only the two people I saw that day, but sixteen people, I couldn't help being shocked.

In the face of sixteen German soldiers armed to the teeth, we can't deal with them just by one man and five women. Others are sixteen submachine guns with strong firepower, while we only have one pistol and five rifles. We are at an obvious disadvantage both in terms of the small number of people and in terms of weapons and equipment. Not to mention eliminating them, it is a question whether we can preserve ourselves.

The brigadier will send Lisa back to report and ask her to bring the army to support her. And the five of us left, we'll do everything we can to keep these German devils here.

However, we did what we had to do, and the German devils were delayed by us all day and night, but we still didn't see the shadow of a large army. But the confrontation with the German devils inevitably happened. Garka and Sonia died in the battle. Vaskov led me and Genoa to re-establish a blocking position on the necessary road. When the remaining German devils entered the effective range, he immediately roared: "shoot!" And took the lead in firing down the top German soldiers. I knocked down four German soldiers in a row with a short volley. Hiding behind the trees, Genoa calmly knocked down a German soldier who was preparing to drop a bomb with a rifle. When the grenade landed and exploded, it knocked over a German soldier nearby. Seeing that vaskov was overwhelmed by the German fire, I stood up from behind the hidden rock and opened fire on the enemy, hoping to relieve his pressure. I didn't expect that at this time, a grenade flying from unknown place exploded not far in front of me. I just felt a shock in my abdomen, and then wet liquid flowed out. The submachine gun slipped from my hand. I covered my abdomen with my hands and leaned against the rock. Seeing that I was injured, vaskov and Genoa rushed over with their heads down. I covered my stomach with my hands and grinned at them reluctantly with dry lips“ What kind of injury? " Vaskov asked with concern“ Grenades. " Vaskov wanted to open my hand and examine the wound. I endured the pain and said shyly, "there's nothing to see." Vaskov didn't care what I said at all. He just yelled at Genoa, "bring the bandage!" Speaking time, vaskov has stripped off my uniform, took the bandage in Genoa's hand, and carefully bandaged the wound for me. At this time, the enemy's gunfire more intensive, a string of bullets hit the rock, we all know where we are found by the enemy. In order to cover us, Genoa jumped out nimbly, followed by her charge gun********************************************* Abdominal pain, pain through the heart and lungs, is particularly true and clear, I opened my eyes, the original just all is a dream ah. I want to move my body a little, but I feel that my whole body is like a fracture, and I can't help groaning“ Rita! Rita!! Rita A familiar cry let me know. I have returned to the 171 meeting station where the troops are stationed, and the women soldiers who live together day and night are around my stretcher. I vaguely heard people talking, someone was cutting my clothes, and then I lost consciousness. By the time I woke up, my abdominal and head wounds had been bandaged. At this time, I heard the major's voice outside the door: "Comrade kiryanova, let the soldiers hurry up. Smolensk has been lost. The German troops will arrive here soon." Then came kirianova's voice: "is this true? Comrade major. Did not the news from yesterday say that general Lukin's troops were fighting tenaciously with the enemy in Smolensk? "“ Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. " The major's voice was very impatient. "The Germans, under the cover of powerful aviation or artillery, have driven the 16th army out of the city, which lacks heavy weapons. At present, the main force of our army is transferring to Moscow, and we are also preparing for the transfer. " Speaking of this, he paused, and then urged kirianova, "sergeant, hurry up, the ambulance from the city has arrived. Hurry up, take Rita and the brigadier to the rear hospital."“ Where to? Moscow? "“ It's not Moscow, it's Leningrad. "“ But, comrade major, isn't it closer to Moscow? "“ Comrade sergeant, let me remind you. We belong to the Leningrad front army. According to relevant regulations, all the wounded should be sent to Leningrad. Stop talking nonsense and let the soldiers carry them to the ambulance as soon as possible. "
