After receiving Lin Hua's order, Bavel and others escorted four prisoners to the dam. When the dam defenders saw their comrades from friendly forces escorting several prisoners, they took the initiative to receive them.
The second lieutenant leading the team saw that Pavel and the others had only handed over three prisoners, but planned to take away the remaining German corporal. He couldn't help but became a little anxious, and quickly asked Pavel: "Comrade Corporal, there is another German prisoner, you
Where do you plan to take it?”
Pavel glanced at the other party and replied casually: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, I received an order from our company commander to take this prisoner to see him."
Hearing what Pavel said, the second lieutenant showed a disappointed expression on his face. He pointed to the house in front of him and said, "All the comrades in your company are in that room. You can go there to find him."<
/p>
Pavel, Seryosha and others entered the room with the prisoners and saw Lin Hua at the other end of the room, talking to the two platoon leaders. He quickly crossed the room and came to Lin Hua and raised his hands in salute.
: "Comrade Company Commander, Corporal Pavel was ordered to bring prisoners to report!"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Hua, Pavel, Seryosha and others shook hands one by one and said to several people: "You guys first find a place to sit down and rest. After we complete the repairs here, we have to continue on our way.
I want to rest then, but I won’t have time.”
After Pavel and the others were settled, Lin Hua turned to Ernst and said, "Corporal, don't be afraid. It was my idea to let you follow our actions. Don't worry, we will ensure your safety."
”
Ernst saw that his companions were handed over to the defenders on the dam, but he was brought here. He originally thought that he would be dragged out and shot, and he had been feeling uneasy. At this moment, he heard Lin Hua's assurance to him.
Finally, the boulder hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.
Due to the continuous fighting, the soldiers of the third company were extremely tired, and they fell asleep soon after sitting down. When Lin Hua was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt someone shaking his body, and at the same time, he kept calling his name:
"Sokov, Lieutenant Sokov, wake up quickly!"
Lin Hua opened his eyes drowsily and saw an officer squatting in front of him, and asked casually: "What's the matter?"
When the other party saw that Lin Hua had woken up, he immediately raised his voice and finished: "Your additional troops have arrived, right at the door."
When he heard that the additional troops had arrived, Lin Hua suddenly opened his eyes wide. When he saw clearly that the officer squatting in front of him was actually the battalion commander, Captain Chakov, he hurriedly stood up and saluted him, and at the same time said a little embarrassedly: "
Sorry, Comrade Battalion Commander, I was too sleepy just now and didn’t notice you coming!”
Chakov stood up and said magnanimously: "It doesn't matter, you have been working too hard for days. I also want you to rest for a while, but that's not possible. Your superiors ordered your company to rush to Iraq immediately after completing the repairs."
Stella City. Let’s go, the additional troops are outside, let’s go out together.”
When the two of them walked outside side by side, Lin Hua asked with concern: "Is there a commander coming with you?"
When Chakov heard Lin Hua's question, he was stunned for a moment. Then he guessed what he was thinking and quickly comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Sokov, the leader is a second lieutenant. You are still in charge of this company."
Company Commander."
Knowing that the commander leading the team had a lower military rank than himself, Lin Hua immediately felt much more at ease. When he heard the commands to "stand at attention" and "take a break" coming from outside the door, he knew that there was a formation outside and quickly quickened his pace.<
/p>
When Lin Hua walked out of the room, he saw five rows of soldiers standing neatly outside the door. A second lieutenant stepped forward, raised his hand to salute Lin Hua, and reported dryly: "Comrade Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant Vasily reports to you, I
I have led fifty-seven new soldiers here to accept your command. I am waiting for your orders. Please give me instructions!"
When he saw clearly that the second lieutenant leading the team was actually Vasily, whom he had met in Kryukovo Village a few days ago, Lin Hua couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand and returned the salute, then held the other person's hand and said, "Hello,
Second Lieutenant Vasily, I didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon.” When he said this, Lin Hua couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, what a turn of events, a few days ago, he had to obey Vasily’s command, but now he has become
His own subordinates.
The next replenishment was very simple. Lin Hua asked Vasily to serve as the commander of the third platoon and assigned him twenty soldiers. The remaining soldiers were assigned to the severely attrited first and second platoons as appropriate. After completion
After all this, Lin Hua said goodbye to Benteleev and Chakov, and then led his troops towards the direction of Istria.
The troops marched about five or six kilometers when suddenly there was the sound of machine gun fire and two dull explosions from the front. Lin Hua immediately became alert. After taking off the rifle slung on his shoulder, he raised his right hand high
Raise the ground to signal the troops to stop advancing.
Just when he was about to send someone to the front to find out what was going on, Vanya came to him quickly, volunteered and said: "Comrade company commander, listen to the gunfire, there seems to be a war ahead, I will take people there
Look, what's going on."
Vanya took two soldiers to the front. Not long after, he sent a soldier back to report the news. The soldier reported to Lin Hua: "Comrade company commander, there is a sandbag fortification on the roadside in front. I don't know what it is."
It was occupied by the Germans. They blocked the road with two machine guns, and a company of the 9th Guards Division was fighting with them."
Hearing that there were Germans blocking the road ahead, Lin Hua quickly shouted to the back: "Stay in the third row, follow me in the first and second rows!"
A few minutes later, he led his troops to the position where the friendly forces were blocked. Vanya brought a captain to Lin Hua and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, this is the company commander of the 9th Guards Division."<
/p>
In order to avoid becoming the target of enemy snipers, Lin Hua did not salute the other party, but simply shook hands and asked: "Comrade Captain, tell me about the situation here!"

The captain nodded and said: "The enemy blocked our way forward with two machine guns. I organized two charges but failed. Instead, I injured more than thirty soldiers."
Lin Hua raised his head and glanced at the situation in front of him. He saw a sandbag fortification on the roadside more than a hundred meters away. Two MG-34 machine guns protruded from the shooting hole in the middle and were firing wildly at the road.
There were many corpses of Soviet soldiers lying on the ground. Seventy or eighty meters away from the fortifications, there was a destroyed truck. Several soldiers were hiding behind the truck and fighting back.
When Lin Hua withdrew his gaze, he saw a T-34 tank parked more than 20 meters ahead on the left. He nuzzled towards the tank and asked curiously: "Comrade Captain, why don't our tank soldiers
Destroy enemy fortifications?"
The captain glanced at the tank parked on the roadside, sighed and said: "Comrade Lieutenant, you don't know something. This tank hit a mine while traveling, and its track was broken. Our tank men came to repair the track, and they just repaired it.
After that, they were killed by enemies who suddenly appeared." He pointed behind the snowdrift on the roadside with his hand, and continued, "Their bodies are there."
Lin Hua glanced in the direction of the captain's finger, and sure enough he saw three corpses in tank uniforms neatly placed behind the snowdrift. He turned to look at the captain and asked: "Comrade Captain, in other words, as long as there are tankers,
Is this tank ready for combat?"
Although the captain didn't know the reason for Lin Hua's question, he still answered truthfully: "Yes, that's the case. As long as there are tank crews, this tank can be put into battle at any time." After saying this, he sighed,
Said regretfully: "It's a pity that the tank crews all died..."
Before the captain finished speaking, he saw Lin Hua handing the rifle to Vanya and taking off his military coat. He asked in surprise: "Comrade Lieutenant, what are you going to do?"
After Lin Hua took off his military coat, he also threw it to Vanya. He pointed at the tank and said to the captain: "Comrade Captain, after I drive the tank and destroy the enemy's fortifications, you can lead the soldiers to rush up."
."
Hearing what Lin Hua said, the captain asked in surprise: "What are you talking about, Comrade Lieutenant? Do you still know how to drive a tank?"
"Yes, I can drive a tank." Lin Hua nodded, and then told the captain: "Comrade Captain, remember, after I drive the tank and destroy the enemy's fortifications, you will lead people to rush up."
At this point, he shrugged his shoulders and added with some embarrassment, "It's a pity that I am commanding and driving a tank, but I don't know how to fire a gun. Otherwise, one gun could blow away the enemy's fortifications."
Lin Hua was not bragging when he said he could drive a tank. In the later days of Moscow, there was a tank museum in the south of Moscow, which contained tanks from various periods of the Soviet army. A friend of his who was a military fan knew the commander in charge there, so he often took him there.
I asked Lin Hua to drive a tank. It was not a tank ride, but a real tank. Although I knew some acquaintances, driving a tank was not free. The hourly fee was one thousand rubles. Lin Hua loved this kind of T-
34 tank, after spending one hundred thousand rubles, I can finally control this tank as skillfully as driving a car.
Lin Hua sat in the cockpit, found a tank hat thrown by a tank soldier on the seat, put it on his head, then started the tank's engine and rushed towards the German fortifications a hundred meters away.
The German soldiers who were hiding behind sandbags and shooting saw the Soviet tanks parked on the roadside and suddenly rushed towards them at full speed. They hurriedly turned their guns and fired wildly at the tanks.
Lin Hua, who was sitting in the tank, heard the dense machine gun bullets hitting the armor like hail. But he did not panic at all, because he knew very well that the German machine gun bullets could not penetrate the T-34's armor.
Armor.
