In any case, this transfer student did successfully cure Lilia's "phobia", which made Lyudmila particularly gratified.
Isn't it? At noon, everyone had bread and beetroot soup in the army canteen, and everyone even got a small piece of dry cheese. It was a happy lunch!
Lilia's face showed a smile and she became very talkative.
"Well, now I have thought about it, I will join the army when I graduate. I hope the Germans have not surrendered by then."
What she said was truly astonishing.
Lyudmila was so shocked that she put down the half-eaten piece of bread and said bluntly: "Lilia, are you crazy? You are like this, and you still want to go to the battlefield?"
"Yes! I've thought about it." Lilia still raised her head slightly, and she once again emphasized that her decision was by no means based on imagination.
"But, you...don't you plan to get into college?"
"University? Of course I have to take the exam. I will try to take the exam at Perm University. This matter can be postponed until next year. I will join the army first. It will not be too late for me to apply after defeating the enemy."
"You...your idea is too crazy."
Lilia shook her head deeply: "I had no choice before, but now, I... I think I can take revenge."
"What? Your purpose in joining the army is revenge?"
"Is there any more reasonable reason than this?" Lilia raised her head, her eyes full of power.
Lyudmila was reluctantly embarrassed: "And fighting for the great Soviet motherland."
"Yes. For the sake of the motherland, I think you will all support me, right?"
"I will support you!"
A strong hand patted Lilia's shoulder. It was Natasha. She had completely understood the change in the girl's mind.
"My dear, I think you must be living in hatred and longing for revenge. I completely understand you and I fully support you. Revenge, joining the army, everything is so simple."
"Well, thank you, Natasha."
Lilia felt strong spiritual encouragement from Natasha. It was this transfer student who brought her out of the quagmire, wasn't it?
"If this is your real choice, what can I say?" Lyudmila shrugged, "Although I find it incredible, I still support you."
"Well, thank you, Liu De."
Of course, Natasha has an encouraging attitude on this issue. A few months ago, she served as a shooting instructor for a group of children of the same age in the swamp. After a period of training, she quickly discovered some good prospects for precision shooters. These were selected.
Girl, many people made military exploits in the later Battle of Gomel.
This Lilia Karpova is obviously a good prospect. If she joins the army, Natasha can predict the bright future of this girl by just thinking about it with her toes.
Now Natasha was sure that her classmate had relatives who died in the war. Such an experience was so similar to her own that Natasha felt compassion.
In terms of study, my level is lacking, but in military techniques, tactics and shooting, I am the king.
At this time, monitor Jill came uninvited with a dinner plate, and even more boldly sat next to Natasha.
He sat down very naturally, put down his plate smoothly, and looked at the four girls with his big, charming eyes. This move immediately aroused Anna's extreme disgust.
"Hey girls, I'm here. How about lunch? Is lunch to your liking?"
"It used to be." Anna pouted, "Unfortunately, a nasty fly flew over and made me very unhappy."
Jill is not stupid and knows that the fly she is talking about is herself. But this Anna has such a mouth, just get used to it.
"Do you agree with me sitting here? Natasha Petrovna."
At this moment, Jill deliberately used honorifics to ask Natasha, and the answer she received was naturally a positive one.
"It's okay. I told you before, you can sit here."
"Okay!" Jill took a deep breath and advocated: "Moscow is really a good place. It gave birth to a girl like you who is both beautiful and capable of fighting. You opened my eyes again today."
"It's okay. Maybe... maybe I should be more restrained."
"No. Let's make it public. You know, the boys in our class always question why girls need to participate in target training. Although all girls will receive medical training, in my opinion, target training should also be done during the war.
, regardless of men or women, everyone should have the ability to take up arms and fight, at least to protect themselves."
"Stop being so attentive." Anna's keen sense of smell smelled something different.
"Huh? Isn't it good to enhance friendship?"
"Then you should see yourself clearly." Anna deliberately increased her voice: "You are not as good as her in running, and you are not as good as her in target shooting. Such a squad leader is too bad."
"Hey! At least my academic performance is very good. Besides, Natasha still has a lot of room for improvement. It is my responsibility to help her improve her performance."
"Isn't this our task? You should understand that my knowledge level is also very high."
"Yes, I admit that. So don't you think we can join forces to help our Natasha improve her grades?"
The two of them had a bit of a quarrel, and the noisy cafeteria also added a special color. More than one student looked sideways, especially the boys, who were already chatting and laughing about the monitor's bold act of flirting with girls.
The noise was unpleasant, and Natasha suddenly knocked on the table: "Don't argue anymore. I thank you, and I will try my best to make up for what I lost."
"Yes! The war must have cost you a lot, and it's still too late to make up for it." After saying that, Jill decisively put a piece of bread from her own plate onto Natasha's.
This move was really shocking.
It is generally known that the social atmosphere of the Soviet Union in this era was generally conservative, and things such as women wearing pants were regarded as bold and strange moves.
The feelings between boys and girls are also quite subtle, and Jill's behavior today is astonishing.
Natasha is not stupid, she has already noticed that Jill has a good impression of her, and now that he is doing this is a real act of attentiveness.
Do you want to accept this piece of bread from him? Bah! If you do this, will it be considered a betrayal of Kharkov?
No! Absolutely not! Otherwise, the cup of blood wine imitating the Tatar ceremony will be in vain.
But you shouldn't refuse in person. After all, he is the monitor?
After a brief moment of confusion, Natasha looked sideways at Susui, revealing a refreshing smile.
"Ah! Mom, I think I'm in love." Jill's heart was pounding. For the first time, a tall man felt uncomfortable all over, but he was also extremely happy.
Unfortunately, Natasha returned the bread slices and said kindly: "I'll give it back to you. My appetite is limited. Besides, Lilia and I have both won rewards and will eat bread for a while.
"
"This..." Jill suddenly fell from the peak of happiness to the ground, and her head was a little confused for a moment.
"You are a good person, and we are good classmates. I think this is enough. We will continue target practice and demolition training in the afternoon. You can eat more to maintain your strength."
"All right."
Gil shrugged. He really didn't think much about it. At this time, if Gil knew that Natasha's heart was still concerned about a boy three thousand kilometers away, he would have given up on her own initiative.
Now, Gil thought of a new topic. He looked at Lilia who seemed to have regained a new life: "I'm glad you are brave, Lilia. Really, you defeated your fear, and your marksmanship is really accurate."
"Thank you." Lilia puffed up her chest again, her confidence clearly revealed: "I was so stupid before. I clearly had the opportunity for revenge but didn't take it seriously. When I graduate, I will definitely join the army. I will let the enemy understand that Russia
Women are not easy to bully. Well, I have to thank Natasha very much."
As if those who conquer their inner demons will become more bold and unrestrained, Lilia held Natasha's arm in a show of sisterly love.
They can be happy, and Jill is naturally very happy: "Lilia, I have been very worried about you being afraid of target shooting. Now you have overcome your fear and become brave. This is Natasha's credit. It's easy for you to join the army, but you should
Understand that your joining the army is by no means a simple revenge, you are fighting for the Soviet motherland and all the people."
"Ouch!" You really sound like a political commissar in the army." Anna said mischievously.
"I am the squad leader! It is my responsibility to stabilize the squad. In a sense, I am similar to the political commissar of the army. Anna, joining the army is not suitable for you at all." Jill deliberately widened his eyes, his expression suddenly became very serious, and his words
He said with a hint of joking: "They need soldiers who take orders seriously, not women like you who chatter endlessly."
"I wish I could." Anna shrugged: "I think I am the one who is most afraid of war. Is this wrong? I think that even if the alliance is at its current stage, the situation is not serious enough to mobilize all women to the front line. I think
After I graduate, I will stay in the rear and produce the latest military uniforms for the front line. By the way, Natasha, are you planning to join the army after graduation?"
"Join the army?" Anna's words stopped Natasha.
Ever since she negotiated with Stalin in the Kremlin, she knew that she was completely separated from the front line. The reason is very simple. If a hero is suddenly injured or sacrificed, it will cause a huge loss to the alliance and the morale of military fans. As long as the hero is alive, this matter
The event itself can boost the morale of the entire people.
Natasha thought for a while and reluctantly said: "I think I will give it a try. If I get kicked out, there is nothing I can do."
"Why did you quit the army? You are eighteen years old after graduation. According to the military service law, you can join the army. Besides, you know that you have received military training. Don't those people on the recruitment committee dislike you?" Anna continued to tease: "I see, yes
When the time comes, you can team up with our Lilia and form a sniper team, this would be the best."
Anna said casually, and when she arrived at Lilia's place, her mind quickly imagined some wonderful pictures.
A pair of sisters fighting side by side in the battlefield, constantly killing enemies, making meritorious deeds, and becoming heroes of the Soviet Union. She quickly thought of Speroskina, Pavlyuchenko, and others who were being
Female sniper heroes who promote and continue to be active.
But Natasha has actually gradually downplayed the idea of going to the front line again.
If I were not fighting under General Berekov, I would lack the motivation to fight. If I apply to go to the front line again, my superiors will definitely object.
The peaceful and stable life now only exists in a narrow safety zone during the war. Cherish it and you must cherish it.
Gil still wanted to talk to Natasha again. He turned around again and said, "Natasha, you have helped me in my work. I want to give you a gift. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Ah? A gift?"
"Yes. A gift."
Natasha was at a loss. She was not opposed to gifts. Gifts were always a good thing. But she did not force anything. Looking at Jill's eager eyes, she reluctantly replied: "I am very happy that you are willing to give me a gift. No matter what
Whatever you give me is your intention. However, if you give me a gift, I will return the gift. We are classmates. Apart from the friendship in arms, the most important thing now is the friendship between classmates."
"Not completely." Jill nodded and said, "There is also family affection. In my opinion, family affection is the most important."
Natasha also said casually: "In this era, we always have to lose family ties, the people we love most. Mothers lose their sons, wives lose their husbands, and children lose their fathers."
"This...your words are too heavy. No matter how cruel the war is, we can still get the one we love most. Now, I have to think about what to give you."
The training intensity in the afternoon was not very high, but this time the grenade throwing event was suddenly added.
Although grenade training is a required course for recruit training, it seems a bit difficult for a group of tenth grade students to master it.
All the military camps provide are training grenades. Don’t worry about them having similar power to normal grenades. They are just large paper firecrackers. That is, a paper warhead with a wooden handle inserted behind it. The method of use is the same as that of the Soviet army.
The wooden handle grenade is exactly the same.
Seeing this thing, an extremely uncomfortable feeling of familiarity hit Natasha's heart.
During the swamp operations, the troops always captured German grenades. Those German troops or servant troops whose main job was to maintain law and order lacked combat effectiveness, and the quality of their weapons and equipment was really poor.
The German wooden handle grenade is not only powerful, but also beautiful in shape. On the other hand, the can grenade in the swamp arsenal is actually just a paper explosive packet stuffed into a can. It looks unattractive because the inside is always bitter and sour, and it is also stuffed.
Add a bunch of broken bullet casings, and the lethality is staggering.
It turned out that the training bombs provided by the shooting range were really just large firecrackers.
During the afternoon training, Natasha once again used her body coordination like a ballet dancer, using all the muscles and ligaments in her body to throw the training bomb 45 meters away.
In this regard, instructor Kaganovsky, who was frightened in the morning, is now used to it.
Look at this girl's movements, she is so graceful. The gracefulness is enough to prove that she has also received training in this area.
Forty-five meters, a seventeen-year-old girl completed it. The girl is obviously not a strong person, but it is not the case. The limited muscles in her body do not have any excess.
It is conceivable that if the recruits in this training camp had such physical coordination, they would not have to go through Bala's high-intensity training for a month, and they would be able to roll to the front line to attack the enemy in just two weeks of target training.
Already.
Kaganovsky today, he saw a girl's wonderful performance, and at the end of training he decisively fulfilled his promise.
