"Dear! You didn't continue to rest, did you?" Yang Tao quickly opened the door of the special care unit and asked in a low voice.
Natasha really wasn't in the mood to sleep at the moment. Apart from the sore shoulder, she had a lot of experience. It was not suitable to hold small things with her hands for the time being, and it was completely fine to hold a yellowed old book and read it.
Natasha put down the book: "Well! My mental state is very good."
"That's good! Get up quickly and get dressed. We have to report to the headquarters."
"Now?! Is this the commander's order?!"
"Yes! The commander misses you, and he misses me too! Let's go quickly." As he said that, he quickly picked off Natasha's medic hanging on the hook on the wooden wall and threw it directly onto the bed.
Natasha murmured. She was supported by her sister and put on her clothes. Even when she was standing on the floor, she felt a little light because she had been lying down for too long. Her arms were flat and didn't hurt at all, but they were hurt.
The pulling is excruciatingly uncomfortable.
She endured the pain with great endurance and was deeply upset about her injury.
She followed Yang Tao, feeling anxious and couldn't help but ask: "Sister! I want the commander to call me over, or tell me about my injury. He must criticize me again."
"Maybe!" Yang Tao glanced at Natasha happily, "Follow me closely and don't think too much. In fact, I don't know why the commander called you and me there. Why are you so anxious!"
The two girls were completely unprepared for what was going to happen next.
They never imagined that the sudden support from friendly aircraft that became the talk of the town would put the certificate of honor that should have been awarded to them long ago in their hands.
The two quickly arrived at the headquarters.
On weekdays, this large office was no stranger to them, and they did not feel much awe. At this moment, Yang Tao and Natasha were quite surprised. It was understandable that senior military officers gathered here. How could those senior officials of the Guerrilla Republic not be surprised?
Are they all here?! Look at their actions now, they are simply waiting for someone to arrive.
Natasha observed her words, immediately stood upright, and raised her right hand in salute despite the pain.
Yang Tao hesitated for a moment, looked at her again, and raised his right hand.
The meeting was quite formal. Yang Mingzhi returned the greeting and ordered, "Everyone, the ceremony is over!"
The seriousness had passed, and Yang Tao's nervous heart softened, especially when she saw her husband's old face covered with stubble. As a wife, her concern for her husband completely filled her head. "Brother! What have you been doing these days?
I’m so busy! I’m so busy that I even forgot to shave!”
"All kinds of things are coming one after another. I am really too busy!" After a while of greetings, Yang Mingzhi immediately got involved.
As a somewhat sentimental person, Yang Mingzhi also deliberately asked Salinchkin to slow down first, then he would lead the girls in front of him and let them open the small box containing the honor with their own hands.
The two of them still stood upright, facing the two small furry wooden boxes on the square table, each with a folded booklet pressed under them.
Yang Mingzhi said in a mysterious manner: "Comrades, this is a gift specially sent to you two by the front army command! Open it and take a look!"
"This...couldn't it be a medal?" Natasha thought of this instantly.
Hearing this, Yang Tao's eyes immediately widened: "Medal? No way?! Could it be..."
"Yes! It must be that one!" Natasha was actually extremely excited, but she knew that she could not show too much emotion in this public place. She stroked her own little box with trembling hands, and she felt five emotions in her heart.
Miscellaneous.
"Dear! Open it!" Yang Mingzhi encouraged.
"Um."
What do people live for? Is it for the instinct to live, or for a more meaningful life? For Natasha, in her opinion, she lives for everyone. Her thin shoulders carry countless deaths.
She wanted to avenge her parents who died and her compatriots who died.
She slowly opened the small box, and a large golden five-pointed star made of gold with a red ribbon appeared in front of her.
This is the highest honor a Soviet citizen can receive!
At this moment, the strong girl could not conceal her excitement. She burst into tears with joy, and her tears fell like raindrops on this heavy medal.
The girl's current thoughts can be understood by everyone. Yevlov couldn't help but patted his old comrade on the shoulder: "Berekov, this is what you hoped for! It has finally come true. Our Natasha has finally become a hero.
.”
"It's so meaningful! She is the first child we saved, and she really created a miracle!"
Natasha indeed created a real miracle, a miracle in the history of the Soviet Union and even in the history of world war. She was the first sniper in the world to kill more than 200 enemies before she was an adult, and the first unidentified sniper in the Soviet Union.
A soldier who was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union as an adult.
Natasha cried with excitement, while Yang Guo was simply happy.
Star Tao was also captured and hated by her country and her family, and her enemy was the Japanese Japs 10,000 kilometers away. This medal was exciting, but she was more willing to wear it on her chest as a new accessory to please her husband and to highlight herself.
High status. After all, she is a girl who loves beauty, and she is more willing to enjoy the scene of being respected!
Natasha cried for a while, and her energy finally recovered, but her eyes were still red.
At this point, Salinchkin officially announced that the award ceremony had officially begun.
The Guerrilla Republic still retains a large number of medals, among which the Order of the Red Banner is the main one, used to reward soldiers who have made outstanding achievements in previous battles. In the general medal ceremony, the commander of the recipient's regiment personally awards it to him.
of.
However, it is so rare to be awarded the Gold Star Medal. It is most appropriate that it be awarded personally by the highest military commander of the Guerrilla Republic.
After Salinchkin read some documents, the reason why the two girls obtained this medal became known to everyone.
Their ability to receive titles and medals was not due to any special decision by the Soviet Military Commission. They did take into account Natasha's special status as a young guerrilla hero active in enemy-occupied areas, and also considered Star Tao, a great internationalist.
The identities of warriors. Their multiple identities only gave them another layer of romanticism. As for their approval to receive medals, it was entirely determined based on their record of killing enemies.
The war reached June 1942. In addition to the generals who commanded large corps to win battles, the new Heroes of the Soviet Union were some soldiers who had killed a very high number of enemies. Currently, Pavlyuchenko of Ukraine has a reputation of more than 250
In the battle of annihilating enemies, she ranked first among female snipers. And the second place was this little girl from Belarus, Spiroskina.
At first, the members of the military committee were unable to confirm that this girl really had a very high combat record. It was not until Stalin sent Salinchkin, who was stationed in the guerrilla zone in southern Belarus, to send a detailed battle report on the girl that they finally made a positive decision and decided to award
This kid was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
Natasha and Yang Tao stood up straight, and Yang Mingzhi held a big gold star in his kind hands.
The green eyes of the girl in front of him were filled with tears. Yang Mingzhi knew very well what the girl was thinking. He murmured: "My dear, this is your honor. You are my pride."
Hearing this, tears welled up from Natasha's eyes again. Her cheeks flushed, and her whole body trembled with excitement.
Yang Mingzhi still smiled and pinned this heavy medal on her chest where her heart was.
After wearing it for Natasha, the next step is my wife. This girl's face is still a bit childish, and her belly is already slightly bulging. This is the only relative she has in the world. Holding this medal in her hand, she says goodbye.
on her chest.
As a husband and wife, there was no need to speak. The two just looked at each other with a smile. Yang Mingzhi, as a husband, awarded his wife this meaningful medal.
"Okay! The awarding ceremony is over!" Salinchkin said happily: "Now, Comrade Spiroskina, please wipe away your tears. Comrade Berekova, please stay calm. Next, please
The two of you stand under the national flag and accept the photo! Bielski, please adjust the camera."
