Suddenly, I was inexplicably hugged from behind, and I felt ashamed and angry, but my whole body was weak, and I couldn't afford to resist at all. It was as if the brain had stopped working at that moment, and it was only after a while that I heard my own weak mosquito-like voice: "Let go of me!" As soon as the words came out, I immediately realized that something was wrong, I originally wanted to be angry at the person who hugged me, how could I say that there seemed to be more coquettish elements in the words?

"Lyda Cheka!" The mysterious man whispered softly in my ear again, and when I heard his voice again, I suddenly felt that I could not breathe, and my heart was like a deer, and I felt an unusually comfortable feeling in my heart. I was so weak that I could barely stand, and if he hadn't put his arms around my body, I would have fallen to the ground. I tried to push him away, but I found that the strength of my whole body seemed to be drained all of a sudden, and there was an inexplicable desire in my heart, just wanting him to hold me like this. So I stopped my futile struggle, closed my eyes, and leaned my head back against his chest.

"Leda, what's wrong with you?" Rokossovsky's voice came suddenly, I opened my eyes and saw that the commander was looking at me with surprised eyes, and before I could speak, he moved his gaze to the side and asked the person holding me behind me in a stern tone: "Who are you?" ”

The man behind let me go, but still put his left hand around my waist, and at the same time stood up and saluted Rokossovsky and reported: "Hello, Comrade Commander! I am Captain Oshanin of the 1st Company of the Anti-Tank Army Dog Company, and I came to the 16th Army to cooperate in the operation on the order of Senior General Comrade Zhukov. ”

"Anti-tank canine company?!" Rokossovsky repeated the number of troops once, and then looked at the person behind me with disgruntled eyes, "What are you holding Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina for?" I was about to continue, but my expression suddenly changed, and I asked the person behind me: "You...... You...... Just now...... What was your name? ”

"Oshanin! Comrade Commander. ”

"Oshanin! Oshanin!! Rokossovsky repeated the name twice, then asked tentatively: "You...... Are you Leda's husband Oshanin? ”

"Yes, Comrade Commander!" The man behind him replied in the affirmative.

Hearing this answer, Rokossovsky had a long-lost smile on his face, stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Oshanin behind me, and said: "Congratulations on your husband and wife reunion!" ”

When I heard that the person holding me was Lida's husband Oshanen, my head exploded with a bang, and if it wasn't for Oshanin holding me, I guess I would have collapsed to the ground. Oh, my God! He turned out to be Oshanin!! I remember that he was a border officer, and he disappeared shortly after the outbreak of war, how could he suddenly come out of here? Although I look like Leda, with the amount he knows about his wife, if not less, he will find out that I am an impostor. I really can't imagine what kind of fate I will face after being exposed.

Perhaps because of my trance, how I walked into Rokossovsky's command room, I can't remember anything afterwards, the only impression I have is that Oshanin has been holding my hand and not letting go. When I arrived in the command room, I saw more than a dozen people in the room, some of whom knew and some of whom did not. Rokossovsky told everyone about my relationship with Oshanin, and I had to accept the congratulations of many people before I got down to business and discussed the offensive that was to be launched tomorrow. Perhaps because of me, Oshanin was allowed to stay on an exception.

It was Deputy Chief of Staff Orel who spoke, who pointed to the map on the table and said: "...... As far as reconnaissance and interrogation of prisoners were informed, on the left flank of our army group, the Germans deployed four panzer divisions and an SS motorized division, and not as we thought they would be infantry divisions, so we had to draw troops to strengthen this direction. ……”

"Wait a minute," Rokossovsky interrupted him, asking: "Has this latest situation been reported to the commander of the Front?" ”

"It has already been reported," said Orel, with an embarrassed look on his face, "but the commander of the front was not convinced, and he thought that we had clearly exaggerated the strength of the enemy forces in our report. So ......"

Rokossovsky made a gesture, interrupted him again, and then turned his head and asked the chief of staff standing aside: "Comrade Malinin, what kind of replenishment have we received these days?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Commander, the Front has sent us a reserve composed entirely of Muscovites, numbering twelve hundred people." As he spoke, Malinin pointed to a burly general next to him and introduced to the commander: "This is Major General Leviakin, who is leading the team. ”

Rokossovsky nodded at Major General Chong and said: "Comrade General, when the meeting is over, you will lead the team to Volokolamsk, where the 316th Infantry Division has lost a lot of strength in the previous battles and is in urgent need of replenishment. ”

"Understood, Comrade Commander."

"Also, Comrade Commander, I propose to assign the anti-tank canine company to the 316th Infantry Division, which is the main direction of attack of the German army." Malinen said and looked down at his watch, then continued: "Be quick, it's best to arrive before dark." Now there are less than two hours left until dark, and if you go by car, you have to walk for almost an hour, which means that the troops must leave within an hour. ”

Hearing the chief of staff say this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, if Oshanin left in another hour, I would catch up with him at most, and I wouldn't have time to have any intimate contact at all, so I wouldn't have to worry about goofs. Moreover, such military meetings are very long, and when they are adjourned, we may only be given a few minutes to spare. Just when I was secretly rejoicing, I didn't expect that the empathetic Rokossovsky gave me an embarrassment, and he said: "Leda, while there is still some time, you and the captain will go out and find a place to talk." ”

Hearing this, although I kept cursing Rokossovsky's kindness in my heart, I still had to make a grateful appearance on the surface, and after thanking him, I took Oshanin, who had been holding my hand, and ran out of the command room. As I went out, I heard a good-natured laugh coming from behind.

After I went out, my mind began to spin rapidly, where should I take Oshanin to catch up: the women's dormitory is definitely not good, they are all busy in the kitchen at this time, after I go, if Oshanin wants to OOXX with me, do I agree or not? If you don't agree, you can't say it; Promise, as soon as you get into bed, it won't take a minute to get dressed.

As we walked out of the church with our fingers interlocked, and when I saw the soldiers standing guard at the door saluting me, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a suitable place: the gatehouse of the church. The gatehouse is an independent space, although there are people coming and going outside, but once everyone sees someone chatting inside, they will not go in to disturb, and more importantly, in this environment, Oshanin is OOXX and has no chance. When the time comes, he will go to the front, so that I can avoid the danger of exposure for the time being. With my mind in mind, I dragged him into the concierge of the church and began to catch up with him in the room.

"Honey," the title gave me goosebumps, but on the surface I tried to pretend to be happy, "tell me quickly, how did you get out of danger?" Why did you suddenly appear here again? ”

Oshanin sat on the chair opposite, grabbed my hands, looked at me with a spring breeze on his face, heard my question, and looked at me affectionately for a while before he spoke: "Do you remember? When the war broke out, I was at home enjoying family fun with you and our son Alik. ”

Hearing him say this, I quickly nodded and helped him to say, "Uh-huh, I remember!" It was the phone ringing that morning that woke us both from our sleep. I saw that after you answered the phone, your expression gradually became solemn. My instinct was to tell myself that something big was going on. "What I'm talking about is not from Lida's memories, but from the plot of the novel.

"That's right." He picked up the conversation and said, "I told you at the time that war had broken out. ”

"Yes," I was familiar with the episode, so I wasn't worried about getting into a goof, "you put on your military uniform, kissed our son, and before you went out, you told me again and again to take your son with you." ”

"Yes, that's what I said." With that, he raised his hands, reached to my chest, and began to unbutton my military uniform. For his sudden move, I couldn't help but shudder, and said in my heart why is he in a hurry, and he wants to OOXX in this kind of place?

Before I could figure out what to do, his right hand reached through my collar and pulled out the brass key I had hung around my neck. It turned out that he just wanted to take the key, and I was secretly relieved.

He grabbed the deformed key and continued, "I remember when you were leaving, you were worried that I wouldn't be able to enter the door when I got home, and you deliberately hung this house key around my neck. ”

I was afraid that he would make further moves, so I quickly grabbed his hand and said, "I thought the war would end soon, but I didn't expect that after we parted that day, I never saw you again, and all I was waiting for was this bronze key." At this point, I only felt that my eyes were hot, and my heart seemed to be blocked by something, and tears of anger flowed down my cheeks uncontrollably.

I quickly raised my hand to wipe it, but the more I wiped it, the more tears flowed. Seeing this, Oshanin let go of the key in his hand, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the tears from my face for me, and continued to tell me his story: "I had the same idea at that time, and when I sat in the car to the fortress, I was still thinking that maybe before we could return to the troops, the invading enemy would have been wiped out by our heroic border guards, and our air force was bombarding the enemy's capital indiscriminately. When he returned to the fortress, he found that everything was just his own whim. ……”

At this point, he stopped, a pained look on his face. Refusing to turn the subject aside, I quickly guided him on: "Honey, what is happening in the fortress? Hurry up and tell me. ”
