Chapter 124 Parade

After getting ready, the troops were arranged in several rows, and then it was like a military parade, with the tanks in front and the infantry behind, followed by a group of artillery, and then a group of dejected Luo and German prisoners. .

After walking into the Harbor Street, there were cheers immediately. Although it was pouring rain, the two sides of the street were crowded with people, including soldiers and civilians, old people and children, men and women...especially those generous and beautiful Ukraine. The girls kept blowing kisses to the team, and some of them couldn't help rushing into the street to hug these brave soldiers warmly.

So the troops only advanced for a while before being blocked, those who brought water and food, those who greeted their health, and those who shook hands in thanks... The whole street was crowded with people.

Although there are traces of war everywhere on both sides of the street: collapsed buildings, houses burned down to their frames, bomb craters, pools of blood, and even corpses and organs in some corners.

But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the soldiers and civilians at all. They even climbed onto the tank to deliver food to the tank crew, which forced the tank to stop moving forward to avoid danger.

"Comrade!" While Shulka was looking at everything in front of him with the eyes of a third party, an old woman suddenly grabbed Shulka's hand and said, "Are you married? If not, see Look at my granddaughter!"

As he spoke, he pulled up a simple but very beautiful Ukrainian girl behind him, and introduced, "Her name is Yelena, she is seventeen years old..."

Shulka couldn't help being stunned that the old woman had a blind date on such an occasion.

The soldiers next to him booed for a while, regardless of whether Shulka agreed or not, they stepped forward one after another and said half-jokingly:

"Auntie, you have a good eye, this is our comrade platoon leader!"

"He's the famous 'runaway hero'!"

"Yeah, have you heard of Shulka?" The actor grabbed Shulka who was about to run away and pushed him in front of the girl, saying, "Shulka, 'runaway hero' Shulka!"

...

The old woman's face didn't change much. She obviously hadn't heard of it, and she didn't seem to like the word "run away", so she was a little suspicious.

On the other hand, the Ukrainian girl who was reluctant to do so with an embarrassed face couldn't help staring at Shulka with wide eyes when she heard the name.

"Are you the 'runaway hero'?" Yelena asked, "The 'runaway hero' from the Brest Fortress?"

"That's right!" Shulka replied helplessly, "That's the nickname they gave me, although I don't like it!"

"I've heard of you!" Yelena's previous embarrassment was swept away, and she became active like a different person: "I've heard many stories about you..."

The soldiers booed around:

"Comrade platoon leader can tell you more stories!"

"When there are only two of us!"

...

"Shulka!" Davydov called from the front. "Go on!"

Only then did Shulka notice that there were many more law and order policemen around, and they drove the crowd to the sides to ensure that the troops continued to pass.

"Goodbye, beautiful girl!" Shulka waved to Yelena: "I will miss you!"

If this were in China, Shurka would not dare to tease girls like this, because it would be regarded as "molesting".

But in Ukraine, Shulka knows that this is normal, and it can even be said to be a kind of friendship and praise.

"Goodbye!" Yelena also waved her hand: "My name is Yelena!"

Shulka guessed that Yelena probably wanted to tell Shulka her address so that she could contact her again, but she said her name again when she was stopped by the police.

Then, they were separated by the crowd.

Shulka smiled indifferently, he felt the boldness and enthusiasm of the Ukrainian girl,

For him, it is an exotic style, and it can also be said to be a good memory.

With their guns on their backs, the soldiers strode forward while waving their hands to both sides of the street with their heads held high. It took them more than an hour to complete the parade...but the hour passed quickly, even if it was The fighters have been fighting continuously until now.

Of course, it's different with the captives behind the team.

Shulka suddenly felt that this was a bit like the entrance ceremony of the Olympic Games, and there was no broadcast shouting: "The 1st Tank Battalion is appearing in front of you now. They have marched forward in the battle and repeatedly broke through the enemy's defense line..."

Then there was applause and the flowers shook.

"What is appearing in front of you now is the captive unit, which is composed of the Romanian unit and the German unit..."

Then curses sounded, and eggs and mud were thrown.

The scene was even more chaotic than depicted, and the fighting nation would not be polite to these invaders. Some of them spat at the captives at close range, some punched them hard, and some threw stones at the faces of the captives , only made them scream with bruised noses and swollen faces.

And the policemen who maintained order also pretended not to see them and did not stop them as if they were stupid.

But these don't need to be concerned by Shulka and others. The troops followed the tanks ahead and drove into the school that was used as a temporary barracks.

In wartime, the school is the ideal place to serve as a temporary barracks.

This is partly due to the fact that in the case of war the schools were not possible and could not be used for a considerable period of time...students were closed and teachers were on holiday.

On the other hand, it is because the school has relatively complete facilities: walls, classrooms, dormitories, canteens, and even bathhouses. It can be used as a military camp with only a little modification or additional beds.

But Shulka and others can't take care of so many.

The radiant look he had when he was parading on the street just now was actually all pretending. As soon as he walked into the barracks, he immediately became half shorter. After entering his dormitory under the order, he lay down on the bed and no longer had the strength to get up. He didn't take off his military uniform that was soaked by rain, and then snoring started one after another.

This is normal, because since starting from Kyiv, I have been in a state of high tension for more than ten days and have not been able to take a good rest.

Of course, the infantry in the car can indeed rest, but even if it is a rest, it is the kind of rest that grabs the gun and jumps up like a spring at any time and then jumps out of the car, because as long as it is half a beat, it may be hit by bullets. Take life.

Now, after entering Odessa, a tight string finally relaxed, and all kinds of fatigue and fatigue came up, like an overwhelming tide.

Shulka was no exception. He found a bed in the corner, leaned his rifle to the side, and tried to take off his raincoat before going to sleep, but he only took off half of it and fell headlong on the bed and fell asleep.
