In the open space in front of the command post, Wei Ran was taking individual photos of the newly arrived soldiers with a camera, while company commander Valentin was nearby, using his plastic notebook to record these soldiers one by one.
's home address.
Almost as soon as Wei Ran pressed the shutter on the last newly added reinforcement, a young soldier wrapped in a Soviet cloak and carrying a Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle on his shoulder ran over.
"Danila! You are finally back!"
Before Valentin could raise his hands to salute, Valentin gave the soldier a bear hug, and then introduced to Wei Ran, "Victor, this is Danila, he..."
"Comrade Company Commander, I have more important things to talk to you about. Where is Comrade Political Commissar?" Danila hurriedly shook hands with Wei Ran, but his attention was all on Company Commander Valentin.
"What's wrong?"
Valentin's expression immediately became serious, and then he immediately said, "Come with me to the command post! Victor, please go to the other side of the position and call Comrade Political Commissar over."
"Okay!" Wei Ran knew that the other party was planning to get away from him, so he decisively put away his camera and ran to the other side of the position.
However, before he could run out of the open space, the political commissar with the rank of captain came out of the corner of the trench not far away and said calmly, "Comrade reporter, I'm right here!"
Without waiting for Wei Ran's response, the political commissar put on his military cap again and followed company commander Valentin and the anxious-looking Danila into the command post.
Wei Ran didn't know much about this political commissar. He didn't seem to like to communicate. The only thing he knew was that his name was Sergey and his home was in Moscow.
However, the soldiers in this company said privately that the political commissar and the artist Tonya were not only classmates, but also members of the same choir. A soldier from Moscow even secretly told him that a few years ago
He had seen political commissar Sergey and artist Tonya perform on stage together.
However, when Wei Ran asked Tonya to verify this rumor a few days ago, the other party denied it and did not admit that such a thing happened at all.
While Wei Ran was thinking about the political commissar named Sergei, Nurse Lano had already ran over from the birch forest shrouded in morning mist.
"Victor, is Daniela back?" Nurse Lano asked Weiran nervously, "A soldier just went to the first aid station to tell me, where is he? Is he injured?"
"No, no injuries, don't worry yet."
When Wei Ran saw Nurse Lanuo heaving a sigh of relief, he pointed to the command post not far behind him and said, "Daniela is inside. They seem to have important things to talk about."
“Thank God”
Nurse Llano exhaled, and involuntarily took a few steps towards the command post. Then she stopped abruptly, sat on a wooden box, rubbed her hands and waited for Daniela to come out of it.
Less than ten minutes later, Valentin walked out of the command post. When he saw Nurse Lano waiting outside, he immediately waved and said, "Nurse Lano, I was just looking for you."
"What's wrong with Daniella?" Nurse Lano asked nervously.
"Danila is fine." Valentin glanced at Wei Ran who was not far away. After hesitating for a moment, he waved and said, "Well, you all can come in."
Upon hearing this, Nurse Lano immediately stood up and rushed to the command post, throwing herself into the arms of the soldier Danila who had just walked out of it.
Upon seeing this, Company Commander Valentin took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and gave it to Wei Ran. He shook his head and joked, "Forget it, I'll give them the command post for now."
Looking at the political commissar Sergei who was leaving in a hurry, Wei Ran declined the cigarette. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Valentin, what happened?"
Valentin glanced at Wei Ran, then looked back at the command post behind him. He also hesitated for a while, then took Wei Ran and hid in a deserted place and explained, "Danila and another sniper.
A few days ago, I sneaked into the side of the German position and looked for opportunities to snipe their commander. I think I told you about this?"
Seeing Wei Ran nod, Valentin continued, "They failed to complete the mission, and the sniper Pavel who took Danila with him was also injured."
"So we are going to save another sniper?" Wei Ran thought he had guessed the answer.
Unexpectedly, Captain Valentin shook his head after a moment of silence and lowered his voice and said, "They discovered that the Germans were building a large-caliber artillery position a few kilometers behind their position. He came back this time to request to send an artillery observer.
The soldiers acted together to carry out covering strikes on the German artillery positions.
Now Comrade Political Commissar has gone to report this matter to Comrade Battalion Commander, Victor, take a photo of Danila later, I...I'm not sure if he can come back."
Wei Ran nodded, "Leave it to me!"
After figuring out the cause and effect, the two of them did not bother Daniella and Nurse Lano. Wei Ran took a hazy photo of the lovers embracing in the morning mist from a distance, while Valentin called for a soldier by name.
After a few words of explanation, the young soldier ran towards the birch forest behind the battlefield.
In less than ten minutes, the young postman Reveli, who had used a horse-drawn sledge to transport Wei Ran and others from the field hospital, ran back with the young soldier not long ago.
"Comrade Company Commander, what do you need me to do?" Postman Revry stood up straight and asked excitedly.
"Revli, I remember you are a local?"
"Yes!" Postman Refri nodded, "My home is in the village of Kalam, not far behind the Germans."
"I need a guide who is familiar with the surrounding forest to bypass the German positions. This task is very dangerous and may even be..."
"I am willing to go, Comrade Company Commander."
Postman Revry, who looked to be less than 20 years old at most, gave the answer before Captain Valentin finished speaking, "Of course, it would be best if you give me a gun or a grenade. I don't want to be killed by the Germans."
catch."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Valentin took off the TT33 pistol and the hard leather holster from his waist and handed it to the postman Revry, "This pistol is yours from now on, except
In addition, you will receive other weapons when you set off."
Postman Revry excitedly took the pistol, while Valentin turned to look at the soldier who was still standing aside and said, "Danila also needs a deputy, Boris..."
"Comrade Company Commander, Danila already has a deputy." The person who interrupted Valentin this time was the nurse Lano, who was holding Danila in one hand.
"What did you say?" Valentin did not react for a moment.
"I serve as Comrade Danila's deputy shooter."
Nurse Lano said firmly, "Besides, I'm still a nurse. If the injured sniper Pavel is still alive, I might be able to help him treat his wounds."
"No!" Valentin flatly refused.
"Comrade company commander, let her act with me."
Daniella said, "I taught Rano how to shoot. I believe her. Also, as she said, Pavel's injury does need to be treated, of course, if he is still alive."
"But she's just a nurse," Valentin said with a frown.
"But I'm also a Red Army soldier," Nurse Lano's tone became more firm, "and my shooting skills are not much worse than Daniela's."
"Let her be"
Daniella also squeezed Nurse Lanno's hand, "At least the tacit understanding between the two of us is far better than that old guy Pavel and I. If we can come back alive, Comrade Company Commander, how about you hold a simple wedding for us then?
Sample?"
Valentin was startled, turned around and started to walk in the direction of the command post. At the same time, he said, "I want to discuss this matter with Comrade Political Commissar."
"Valentin, can you also discuss my matter?"
Wei Ran stopped Valentin and said, "Let me follow them. I am a reporter. In addition, I am also a veterinarian with acceptable skills. I believe Nurse Lano can vouch for this."
"Why are you joining in the fun!" Company Commander Valentin slapped Wei Ran's arm away angrily, "This is my company, and I am the one who gives orders."
"Two jugs of vodka"
Wei Ran grabbed the other person again and said close to his ear, "Let me follow them. At least let me take a photo of that Pavel. And since I know some German, I can definitely help them."
Valentin frowned, and after a long time he gently pushed Wei Ran away again, walked towards the command post and said, "Let Comrade Political Commissar come back and let him decide."
Silence fell into the thick fog. Wei Ran looked at everyone, waved to the soldier named Boris and the postman Revry, motioned for the three of them to leave with him, and gave the place to Danila.
and Nurse Llano.
"Boris, can you find me a clean container with a lid?" Wei Ran asked the soldier Boris.
"How big do you want it to be?" Boris asked quickly.
Wei Ran explained with a smile, "It would be best if you have a 20-liter oil drum like the German ones, but it's better to have a cleaner one that can be used to hold water for drinking."
"Yes! Wait, I'll go find it for you right away!" After Boris finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "Comrade reporter, can you help tell Danila about my shooting skills..."
"Help me find a bucket." Wei Ran changed the subject before the other party finished speaking.
Boris opened his mouth, and finally turned around and ran into the fog that obscured his vision.
"Comrade reporter, is it very possible that we won't be able to come back?" Revry, who had been playing with his pistol just now, raised his head and asked.
"I don't know..." Wei Ran shook his head. He really didn't know, or in other words, he didn't know how to answer this question.
"So, can you take a picture for me?"
Refri looked at the camera hanging on Wei Ran's chest and asked, "After I get the weapon, take a photo for me. I heard from other soldiers that as long as I leave my address with you, you will help me."
Send photos home.”
Wei Ran was stunned when he heard this, then nodded quickly and said, "No problem, when you get the weapon, I will take a photo for you."
"Thank you! Thank you, comrade reporter!" Revry's young face immediately showed a sunny smile that could tear through this heavy weapon.
