Chapter 769 Building No. 4 (Part 2)
Ye Feim reached out and grabbed Zalitzman's arm and shouted at him: "Comrade Deputy Director, have you seen it? What did the damn German guys do? They killed Komarkova, and these beasts didn't even let go of an unarmed woman."
Zalitzman looked at Komarkova, covered in blood, and felt in a mess. He didn't know how to comfort Yefim in deep sorrow. He could only say in a hoarse voice: "This is the blood debt owed to us by the German devils. Sooner or later, we will repay the blood debt from them."
"Komarkova is dead!" Yefim said with heartache: "Even if I kill many German guys, I can't make her survive."
At this time, Goria walked in from outside. After briefly learning about the situation from Geria, he walked behind Yefeim and bent down, put his hands on the other party's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Comrade Yefeim, justice can be maintained. What you can do for Komarkova now is to pick up weapons and eliminate more gangsters in the Faxi Temple. This will not only avenge your girlfriend, but also save more innocent lives and avoid similar incidents."
Ye Feim raised her head, looked at Goria standing beside her, and asked, "Comrade Commander, can I join your army?"
"Aren't you a militia in the factory?" Goriya didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to join the army. "If you stay in the factory, you can also attack the enemy severely."
Yefim gently placed Komarkova's body flat on the ground, stood up and faced Goria, and said firmly: "Comrade Commander, I want to join your army and eliminate more Germans."
"Comrade Captain," Zalitzman stood up and said to the hesitant Goria: "Since Comrade Yefim is so determined to join the army, you should agree to his request." After that, he looked at Goria with inquiring eyes, waiting for the other party to make a final decision.
Fearing that Goria refused to agree to his request, Yefim reached out and grabbed Goria's hand and promised him: "Comrade Commander, I swear to you that I will destroy more Germans and avenge Komarkova and his sacrificed colleagues!"
Seeing that Ye Feim's attitude was so firm, Goria didn't want to refuse anymore. He just said "Okay", then turned his head to Geria who was standing aside and said, "Lt. Geria, Comrade Ye Feim will be included in your company. Remember, arrange it for him in the class with the strongest combat power."
"I understand, Comrade Captain." Geria nodded vigorously, "I will arrange him in the strongest class."
The female operators who were hiding upstairs returned to the station computer room when they saw the enemy rushing into the building were wiped out. Seeing that Komarkova who stayed on duty died, the girls burst into tears. They lifted Komarkova to the long conference table, wiped her blood-stained face, combed her hair again, and even the female operator found clean clothes to change Komarkova...
While the female operators were sorting out the face of Komarkova, Goriya brought Zalitzman to the corridor and asked, "Comrade Deputy Director, I want to ask, what are your plans next?"
Building No. 4 has become riddled with holes after the German shelling and bombing. After research, several leaders in the factory decided to withdraw all the people in the building, and Zalitzmann was here to carry out this retreat mission. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the building, he was attacked by the German army. If he had not been lucky enough to break through and get support from the Goria troops, the building would have probably been occupied by the Germans.
At this moment, when he heard Goriya's inquiry, he immediately said without hesitation: "Comrade Captain, according to the research and discussion of the factory leaders, in order to shrink the defense line and gather more troops, we are ready to give up this building. Unfortunately, the enemy came too quickly, otherwise we should have retreated almost now."
"So, are you not going to stick to this building?" After understanding Zalitzman's next plan, Goria considered whether he should take the opportunity to bring the troops back to the Archives Building. However, before leaving, he had the responsibility to cover the safe evacuation of the militia and staff in the building, so he said to Zalitzman: "Comrade Deputy Director, please take the people first, let's stay to cover you."
"Okay, Comrade Captain! I will take people to evacuate this building immediately." Before organizing the evacuation, Zalitzmann also specifically reminded Goria: "There is no need to stick to it here. After we evacuate, you should leave early."
Seeing the female operators carrying Komarkova out of the switchboard room, Goria suddenly remembered an important thing and hurriedly called Zalitzman, who was about to leave: "Comrade Deputy Director, please wait."
Zalitzman stopped and asked in surprise: "Comrade Captain, is there anything else?"
"That's right. I want to call the team leader and report the situation here to him." Goria asked tentatively: "Look, can you keep a female operator and connect me to the phone line?"
Hearing Goriya's request, Zalitzman nodded, and then asked the female operators who had just walked out of the switchboard room: "Girls, this commander needs someone to help him answer the phone. Who do you want to stay?"
According to his thoughts, after the shock not long ago, no one would be willing to stay in such a dangerous place. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the female operators raised their hands together and rushed to say, "Comrade Deputy Director, I am willing to leave comrades who help friendly troops answer the phone."
The female operators were so active, which was really beyond Zalitzman's expectations. After sweeping the female operators one by one, he reached out to a fat female operator closest to him and said, "Krava, stay, and the rest of the girls will immediately follow us."
After sitting down in front of the wiring desk, Krava looked up at Goria and asked, "Comrade Commander, I wonder where you are going to answer the phone?"
Goria hesitated for a moment and replied, "Please help me connect to the archives building, we have a regiment command post there."
After hearing this, Krava nodded and began to call the regiment command post for Goria. Two or three minutes later, Krava nodded to Goria and said, "Comrade Commander, the phone has been connected."
Goria quickly grabbed the microphone and put it in his ear and said, "Hey, is it a comrade commander? I am Goria Captain, we have helped friendly forces restore positions..." After reporting the battle to Belkin in detail, he asked, "I want to ask, what should we do next? Should we stay here or withdraw the archives building."
For Belkin, the more troops that stick to the archives building, the better. But if the troops sent to the Derrensky factory were to be withdrawn, he did not have this authority yet, so he could only say to the microphone helplessly: "Comrade Captain, you should stick to your current position first, and then notify you after I call the division commander to ask for instructions."
Goria put down the phone, walked out of the station room, and said to Geria who was standing outside the door: "Comrade Lieutenant, send a squad to guard this place. Even if the enemy rushed into the building again, they would never be allowed to rush into the station room, do you understand?"
"I understand, comrade of the deputy battalion commander. I immediately transferred Sergeant Kopeto's squad here." Geria said to Goliath: "I will assign that militia Yefim to this squad."
Goria was very satisfied with Geria's arrangement. If there was Yefim in the class that defended the switch room, for Krava who stayed on duty, at least she had someone she could trust. In this way, she would be indifferent to her work.
Sergeant Copetus rescued Ye Feim from the Germans. When he saw Ye Feim who was supplemented with his class, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face: "Ye Feim, why are you?"
"It's you, comrade Sergeant?" Ye Feim was also surprised to see that he was assigned to a class of an acquaintance: "I really didn't expect that I was assigned to your class."
"I saw that the militia and staff in the building had all moved," Kopeto saw that everyone else in the building had moved, but Ye Feim stayed to join his troops, which made him puzzled: "Why don't you leave together?"
"My relative was killed by the German guy." Ye Feim said with red eyes: "Just an hour ago, in the third floor switch room, he was killed by the German guy with a submachine gun. I want to stay and avenge her!"
After hearing Ye Feim's words, Kopeto raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said in a sympathetic tone: "Yefim, in this damn war, tens of thousands of us have lost our loved ones. Remember the crimes committed by the Germans against us, and sooner or later, we will collect these blood debts from them in a good way."
While the two were chatting, a correspondent came to convey Geria's order, asking Copeto to rush to the third floor immediately to be responsible for the guards of the switch room. "Let's go, Comrade Yefim." Copeto said to Yefim: "The superiors ordered us to protect the safety of the switch room. Even if we sacrificed our lives, we must not let the enemy rush into the switch room again."
Sokov, who was far away in Mamayev hill, was very happy to learn that the troops sent to the Derrensky factory had helped friendly forces restore some of the lost positions. However, when he heard Belkin ask whether to withdraw the troops back to the Archives Building, he hesitated again. He was worried that his troops would leave and the Germans would reoccupy these positions.
After repeated consideration, Sokov said to the microphone: "My political commissar, although I also want this army to withdraw from the Derzhinsky factory, it is not possible. The number of defenders in the factory is too small. Once Captain Goria and his friends retreat, I am worried that those positions will be reoccupied by the enemy."
"Misa, then what do you mean is Goriya and the others don't need to withdraw?"
"That's right." Although Sokov had no mobile force in his hands due to the dispersion of troops, he did not dare to withdraw his troops casually, otherwise it would have been possible to cause the defense line to shake. He said carefully: "I will call the commander and ask him to send troops to the Derrensky factory to reinforce. After the reinforcements arrive, it will not be too late to let Goriya and the others retreat."
"I understand, Misha." Belkin nodded, "I will inform Goria immediately and order him to continue to hold on to his existing positions until a new force takes over the defense."
After receiving Sokov's instructions, Belkin immediately notified Goria of the decision by phone, and finally said, "Comrade Captain, I order you to defend the existing position at all costs until a new force takes over your defense. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Comrade Commander." Goria replied firmly: "Even if we only have one person left, we will never give up our existing positions before the new troops arrive."
As soon as he put down the phone, Goria called Geria in front of him and said to him: "Comrade Lieutenant, according to the orders of his superiors, we may have to hold on here for a while and wait for the new troops to arrive. In addition to continuing to strengthen the fortifications, you must also organize people to go outside the building to collect the weapons and ammunition that can be used so that we can support it for a longer time."
Just as Geria turned and left, Goria called him again: "Comrade Lieutenant, besides strengthening the fortifications and collecting ammunition, don't forget to let the soldiers hurry up and eat. If the war starts, there will be no time to eat."
"By the way, Deputy Battalion Commander, I remembered one more thing." As Geria reminded me, he remembered another equally important thing: "In the battle just now, in addition to the sacrificed soldiers, more than fifty people were injured, fifteen of them were seriously injured. How should we deal with them?"
How to place the wounded? It really stumped Goria. There were no sanitary workers in the archives building. If you want to get treatment for the seriously injured, you can only send them to Mamayev. But there are at least fifty or sixty people to escort so many seriously injured to Mamayev. In this way, the defense power in Building No. 4 will be greatly weakened. But if you don’t send it, you can only watch the wounded die in pain.
Just when Goria was in a dilemma, Ye Feim, who was guarding the door of the switchboard room, spoke, "Comrade Commander, we can ask the deputy factory director to take people to pick up the wounded. Our factory hospital is only two or three kilometers away from here. If you send the wounded there, you can get timely treatment."
Regarding Ye Feim's proposal, Goria said in embarrassment: "But the deputy director has gone far away. Is it appropriate to call them back at this time?"
