······I finally recalled what happened after falling down.

I remember when I opened my eyes, I was lying on a temporary stretcher. Several male soldiers were carrying me in the dense forest. Platoon leader Kirianova followed closely next to the stretcher, secretly wiping tears.

"Kirianova," I called her in a weak voice, she bent down and grabbed my right hand, and asked me with concern: "Lida, how are you feeling?"

"I won't die. If I die, who will take care of my mother and son Alik." Although this was not what I wanted to say, I couldn't help but say it. It seemed that Lida's body was not the final decision of me alone at the moment.

Kirianova nodded while wiping her tears, comforting me and said, "Lida, no, no, you will definitely not die. Hold on for a while and we will be able to return to the station soon."

***************************************************

Birds were singing in the forest at dawn, and the mist was swaying. When I saw my son Alek, I always felt very happy. As I walked, I found that the boots on my feet were wet with dew. I immediately remembered that the mud on my boots had exposed my whereabouts, so I sat down, took off the boots, and carried them on my shoulders.

I walked barefoot with my feet, and my boots were shaking around behind my back. Now I have to hurry up. I have been delayed on the road for too long this time. If I go back late and be discovered by the Warrant Officer Vaskov, it will be troublesome.

At this time, I heard some sounds, and someone carefully pushed away the branches in front of him and walked over.

"It's not a patrol team, right?" My heartbeat suddenly accelerated. I had no documents and was caught by them. I was definitely sent to the warrant officer. In that case, I would have to be confined by Vaskov.

Suddenly I heard the sound of talking—some words that I couldn't understand, and some people's laughter...

"What are they saying, why can't I understand?" I thought in confusion. Suddenly, I suddenly realized with a terrifying feeling: This is a German devil! It's German dialect!

I flashed into the bushes, held my breath, and looked at the road ahead through the sparse leaves. The first one came out was a tall man, wearing a camouflage shirt, carrying a rectangular bag tightly tied with a belt in his right hand, and a submachine gun for the German army hung on his chest. He looked back and for a moment, a man of the same outfit came out of the forest, carrying the same small bag, but a little short on his head. I couldn't help it, and my body moved for a moment, and the short tree shook, and the dew spilled all over me.

The two strangers looked around vigilantly, and I never dared to move again. I pulled off the boat-shaped hat on my head and blocked my mouth, so that I could not help but make a sound to alarm them, but just stared at the two strangers with wide eyes. Yes, this was the German devils. They lowered their voices and talked, slowly approaching the place where I was hiding.

At the first moment, I realized my isolation and helplessness, so I was very scared to think that the Germans were about to discover me. I was completely desperate... I understood that everything was over, my fate was settled, I could never see my comrades, my mother and Alik. In a few minutes, I would no longer live in the world, and everything would never exist for me.

Fortunately, the two German soldiers muttered a few words and continued to walk forward. I hid in the bushes and saw the German soldiers disappear in the forest. I carefully observed the direction of the German soldiers coming. Except for the birds, no one appeared.

Then I popped out of the bushes and rushed towards the stream. I ignored the density of the bushes and the depth of the streams, and ran forward desperately until I ran to the 171th station where the troops stationed, and reported to Vaskov and Kirianova about the discovery of the Germans in the woods.

Then we organized a small team to hunt down the two German devils. The team led by Warrant Officer Vaskov. In addition to me, there were warrants Garka, Risa, German-speaking Sonia, and the sharpshooter Genia in the platoon.

I thought that it would be easy for the six of us to deal with two German devils, and everyone was relaxed along the way. Genia kept teasing Vaskov, who kept saying "according to the rules of the ritual," while Lisa, who had a crush on the warrant officer, kept saying good things for the warrant officer.

Under the leadership of the warrant officer, we walked through the swamp and established a blocking position that complies with the regulations of the German devils on the road that was necessary to pass, and prepared to launch a blocking war with ease to fight to capture a German soldier. However, when I saw the German devils walking out of the woods with a telescope, not only the two people I saw that day, but sixteen people, I couldn't help but be shocked.

Faced with sixteen German soldiers armed to the teeth, we, one man and five women alone, are unable to deal with it. Others are sixteen submachine guns with strong firepower, while we only have one pistol and five rifles. Whether we have a small number of people or weapons and equipment, we are at an obvious disadvantage. Not to mention eliminating them, whether we can save ourselves is a problem.

The warrant officer sent Lisa back to report the message and asked her to bring the large army to support her. The remaining five of us tried every means to drag the group of German devils here.

However, we did everything we should do, and the German devils were dragged by us for a day and a night, but we still didn't see the shadow of the large army. The confrontation with the German devils inevitably happened. Garka and Sonia died in the battle.

Vaskov led Genia and I to re-establish a blocking position on the road that must be passed. When the remaining German devils entered the effective range, he immediately yelled: "Shoot!" and took the lead in firing to knock down the German vanguards. I shot with a short point and knocked down four German soldiers in a row. Genia hid behind the bushes and calmly knocked down a German soldier who was about to drop bombs with a rifle. When the grenade landed on the ground and exploded, it exploded a German soldier next to me.

Because I saw Vaskov being suppressed by the German firepower, I was in a hurry and stood up from behind the hidden rock and opened fire violently at the enemy, hoping to relieve him of some pressure. Unexpectedly, at this time, a grenade that was flying from the place exploded not far ahead of me. I felt a shock in my abdomen, and then a wet liquid flowed out. The submachine gun slid from my hands. I covered my abdomen with both hands and leaned against the rock.

Seeing that I was injured, Vaskov and Genia rushed over with their heads down. I covered my stomach with my hands and opened my dry lips and smiled reluctantly at the two of them.

"What was injured?" Vaskov asked with concern.

"Grenade."

Vaskov wanted to pull away my Da's hand and check the wound. I endured the pain and said shyly: "There is nothing good to look at."

Vaskov didn't care what I said, but just ordered Genia loudly: "Get the bandage!" As he spoke, Vaskov had already stripped my military uniform and took the bandage from Genia's hand and carefully bandaged my wounds.

At this time, the enemy's gunfire became even more intense, and a string of bullets hit the rocks. We all understood that our location was discovered by the enemy. In order to cover us, Genea led the enemy away and jumped out quickly. Then, her submachine gun fired.

***************************************************

The severe pain from the abdomen was extremely real and clear. I opened my eyes and it turned out that everything I had just been a dream. I wanted to move my body slightly, but I felt like my whole body was broken, and I couldn't help but moan.

"Lida!Lida!!Lida!!!" A familiar shout made me know. I had returned to the 171st station where the troops were stationed, and the female soldiers who were living with each other day were surrounding my stretcher.

I heard some words about people talking in a daze. Someone was cutting my clothes open, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, the wounds on my abdomen and head had been bandaged.

At this time, the major's voice sounded outside the door: "The ambulance from the city has arrived. You should move quickly, carry Lida and the warrant officer into the car and take them to the hospital behind."
