May is the season of spring, but also the season of recovery, in Siberia, the muddy land is also ready to dry gradually, although there is the presence of Chinese troops nearby, but the calm of the past few months has made the residents of the small town of Atamanovka gradually let go of their worries, and now they are also busy with farm work, in the morning, the town gradually more people.

"Vasily, aren't you going home to check the farm tools and get ready for work? Watch out for your father coming and beating you! A middle-aged peasant woman laughed at a teenager who was playing with friends on the street.

The young man was a dissolute young man from the way he was dressed, a true Slav from the shape of his face, a scruffy tattered red cloth shirt on the top, and a pair of wide burlap bloomers on the bottom. On one foot is a mutilated high-end rubber galoshe, and on the other is a broken leather shoe. The light brown hair on his head was unkempt, and there were small pieces of wood and wheat stalks inside, and these toys were also found in the long, fan-like hazel beard that reached to the chest. I saw that he said impatiently: "Aunt Liana, you are worried, you see that the Chinese people have come to our doorstep, what kind of land are you planting?" I thought about it, I also want to join the Red Army, and I also want to fight Huaxia pigs. ”

"Yes, we're going to fight these Chinese pigs too, they're just a bunch of cowards, with a few planes, what's the big deal." The young people next to him all laughed, and one by one they slapped their chests "thump".

"You kids!" Aunt Liana pointed at the young men who were not afraid of tigers and sighed helplessly: "Is it so fun to fight? That's going to kill people! ”

"Hahaha" The boys laughed wildly, one by one laughing breathlessly, Vasily laughed so hard that he covered his chest with his hand and said: "Aunt Liana, look at what you said, I promise that as long as we shoot at the sky with guns, they will definitely be scared and flee." ”

"Well said, lads, we brave Russians deserve such courage." At this moment Major Vajim of the town came with a group of soldiers, and he said to Vasily with an approving smile on his face: "Young man, you speak well, young people should have such a heroic spirit. What is your name? ”

"My name is Vasily!" The young man puffed up his chest when he heard the officer's inquiry.

"Yes!" Major Vajim nodded appreciatively, he jumped on a stone next to him and said loudly to the residents of the town: "Comrade Stalin has an order, the army of the capitalist lackey Chahar and the white bandits led by the tsar's minions Alexei have recently invaded our great motherland, and may be about to poison our town of Atamanovka recently, and now by the order of the acting commander and political commissar of the Far Eastern Military District, General Olega, young men are to be recruited to join the Soviet Russian Red Army and the convoy, if there is any disobedience, Shot for sympathy for the invaders! At this point, the Major's words suddenly became serious.

"Comrade Major Vajim, there is a situation!" At this moment, a soldier stumbled over.

Seeing the frightened appearance of the soldier, the major couldn't help but sink in his heart and asked, "What the hell is going on?" You answer me quickly. ”

"That's right!" The soldier gasped for a few breaths before he said, "The Huaxia people have called!" ”

A question flashed in Major Vajim's eyes: "What? How could this be, didn't the outpost in front of it raise an alarm? ”

"There is no comrade major, their tanks drove all the way to the outside of the town and we only found out, now what should we do?"

"What else is there to hesitate, immediately pick up the gun and fight them to the end!" Major Vajim stood on a large rock and shouted: "Brave Russian boys, follow me to the battlefield and pick up guns to drive those hateful invaders out of our homeland!" Cowards who are timid and afraid will be executed on the spot! With that, Major Vajim took the lead and ran towards the position.

At this time, Vasily and the boys looked at each other, and they all found a trace of fear on each other's faces, and then looked at the soldiers around him looking at him with a fierce look, gritted his teeth and ran out of the town with the soldiers.

Outside the town, Zhao Quanyou put down the binoculars and turned his head to Hong Qianyun behind him and said, "Hong Qianyun, what do you think?" ”

Hong Qianyun looked at the trenches and machine gun positions in front of him and said disdainfully: "As long as there is a tank to cooperate, I can take it down in half an hour!" ”

Zhao Quanyou stared at Hong Qianyun for a while, and saw that he was a little hairy in his heart before nodding and said, "Okay, this is what you said, I'll give you half an hour." ”

"Yes!" Hong Qianyun hurriedly ran in the direction of the tank, preparing to gather troops to attack.

At this time, Major Vajim and the soldiers also rushed to the trenches, he looked back at the dozens of teenagers behind him, and ordered one of the soldiers: "You quickly take them to get guns and ammunition, and then take them to the position." Then he said to the young men, "Young men, aren't you clamoring to kill those Chinese? Now that the opportunity has come, and the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions, hurry up and go to the battlefield. ”

Vasily and his partners looked at each other, and they were scared for a while, they knew that they wouldn't brag about this bull just now, and they were heard by Major Vajim when they bragged, and now the Chinese people are really calling, do you look at the bad dishes?

But looking at the soldiers with straight faces around them, they secretly complained in their hearts that they had no choice but to obediently follow the soldiers to the position.

Major Vajim looked at the pale faces of several teenagers before leaving, and sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the serious shortage of troops in the town, why would he have brought all the civilians to fill the number? Now, no matter how bad these dozens of people are, they are still a fighting force.

"Quick, reverse, reverse, stop. Okay, everyone, hurry up and get the cannon ready! "Dodge trucks stopped three kilometers from the Russian positions, and the artillerymen were rapidly erecting their artillery under the command of the officers. This is a battalion of 12 M-2/M-101 105 caliber howitzers, and their mission today is to send more shells into enemy positions.

After dozens of minutes of busyness, the muzzles of each cannon were pointed forward.

With the commander waved the small red chess piece and was accompanied by a shout: "Release!" ”

The artillerymen pulled the ropes in unison, and one by one the projectiles weighing 30 catties broke free from the shackles of the shells and flew towards the target with their heads held high.

After dozens of seconds of silence, only a dozen dull explosions were heard in the distance.

"Ten meters to the right, twenty meters forward, put!"

As the artillery fire observers in the front continued to send back corrected data, the artillery fire behind became more and more intensive. After a while, the Soviet positions were overwhelmed by artillery fire.

"Woohoo!" Another shell exploded at the mouth of the anti-artillery hole where Vasily was staying, and the splash of air rushed all the way to their anti-artillery hole, and the sound of the explosion exploded in their ears like thunder. This group of unruly young people finally saw the war they had longed for, but unfortunately the truth was always cruel, and Vasily finally discovered that war was not as beautiful as they imagined. The Chinese people are not like the old people legend, with a towel tied to their heads, a big knife and spear in their hands, and an opium gun pinned to their waists.

"No, I don't want to stay here anymore, I'm going home!" At this moment, a teenager broke free from his companion's hand and ran towards the entrance of the cave as fast as he could.

The Soviet soldiers sitting next to him did not try to stop him, and sat silently in the corner with their weapons in their hands, because they knew that if they did so, they would get themselves in. Sure enough, the poor boy had just run to the door and was blown away by a cannonball.

"Woooooooo ”

At this time, one of the highest-ranking political commissars in the anti-artillery hole shouted at the group of young people: "Everyone here wants to go home, but boy, listen to me, now the Chinese are fighting in front of our eyes, and we all have to fight for the motherland and Russia." You've all tightened my guns for me, and I'm going to use them to kill the enemy in a moment. ”

The artillery fire lasted for thirty minutes, and when the shelling suddenly stopped, the boys realized that their bodies were already wet with sweat, and when Vasily followed the soldiers to the position, he was surprised to find that the originally strong position had been blown apart by fierce artillery fire, and the position was full of ruined scenes.

"Quick, hurry up and get into position, do you cowards want to be shot?" Major Vajim changed his previous kind expression and fiercely scolded the group of teenagers who had been a group of civilians an hour before. Even kicks and beatings drove them into the trenches. "And you, hurry up and pick up your rifle and follow the soldiers in front into the position!"

In this way, Vasily also confusedly followed a soldier with a Mosinagan rifle into one of their foxholes.

"They're coming!" A slightly frightened voice sounded in Vasily's ears, Vasily saw that it was a senior soldier, looking at the soldier's somewhat nervous face, Vasily secretly thought to himself, it turns out that they will also be afraid.

At this time, a roar mixed with piercing metal reached the positions of the Soviet troops, "Tanks! A frightened scream rang out, and Vasily, who had sneaked his head out of his position, found four monsters of steel in front of him, with semicircular turrets, long and large barrels, and a hideous black tiger head and a flag printed on each side of the turret.

"Is this the tank of the Huaxia people?" Vasily thought secretly.

"Boom!" I saw a tank aiming its muzzle in the direction of Vasily and others and firing a shot! Vasily heard only a loud bang, and several soldiers not far from him were lost in a splash of sand.
