Chapter 2707 Steel Rose

Malashenko had been very curious for a while, wondering what this Yekakina's real combat experience was.

Although the leadership division organization has never established official performance rankings, a place like the military has always respected the strong and competed with each other in terms of strength. Even though Malashenko has never organized any official rankings, there are still many ace tankers in private, especially the competition between commanders and gunners for rankings is the most fierce.

As a division commander, Malashenko has indeed heard of this matter, but his attitude is that of turning a blind eye and neither advocating nor stopping it. What kind of trouble would this cause in private? It doesn't matter if you do it or not.

After the incident with Ekakina, Malashenko, who was curious about what the ranking was, made a special inquiry, but the result was unexpected.

In the gunner record rankings, a young girl like Yekakina actually ranked sixth on the list! With a record of destroying a total of 78 enemy tanks, destroying armored vehicles, cars, fixed defense point fortifications, and infantry, she defeated a lot of big men and became the only woman among the top ten gunners in the division's record rankings.

What is the concept of 78 cars?

Let’s put it this way, in the existing historical timeline where Malashenko, the time traveler, did not exist, the number one ace gunner (and vehicle commander) of the Soviet Red Army was our current deputy division commander, Comrade Lavrinenko. The confirmed destruction record is only a little over 50 vehicles.

Of course, this is mainly related to the existing history of Lavrinenko stepping on a landmine and dying in 1941. However, Lavrinenko's record of more than 50 vehicles destroyed in 1941 remained unbroken until 1945, when the Soviet Red Army won the Great Patriotic War. This shows its high value and the fact that more than 50 German tanks were destroyed. Difficulty.

Now, a girl in her twenties, in this timeline that has been tampered with beyond recognition, has achieved a record that is even more impressive than the number one tank ace of the Soviet Red Army in history, and even surpassed it by more than 20 tanks in one go.

What does it mean that women can hold up half the sky?

Women can hold up half the fucking sky, how can they be so awesome?

Of course, Malashenko was not the only one who was surprised by this achievement. Comrade Ma was just an afterthought.

Because this was almost an astonishing achievement, Ekakina's comrades, the other tank crews of the Leader Division, gave her the code name "White Rose of the Leader Division."

What about Ekadina herself?

She also liked the new name given to her by her comrades very much, and even found a comrade with better skills to paint a white rose mark on the turret of the tank with white paint. This was authorized by the commander, and even the commander of Ekakina thought it was a pretty good idea.

After learning these stories, Malashenko deeply felt that this little girl Yekakina was a talent. If she had to pack her luggage and end up lonely just because she was blind, Malashenko deeply felt that such a result would be very harmful to Yekakina. It was too cruel for Katina.

Especially after knowing that this little girl was from Kharkiv, Ukraine, and that her entire family had been killed by Nazi bombings on the way to escape as early as the Nazi invasion. She was the only one who survived because she was still in military school.

Malashenko, who deeply feels the heavy responsibility, can easily guess what kind of desolation Ekakina will face if she retires hastily and returns to her hometown without even a family or home with the disability of being blind in one eye. future life and final outcome.

If it were better, it would be nothing more than an inspirational story. The heroine of the Soviet Red Army was physically disabled and had a strong will, but she accomplished some great feats with her only remaining eye.

At the very least, or in the worst case scenario, it's not a joke to hang yourself by wiping your neck, or you could just commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

The fear of loneliness is a weakness shared by most people in the world. As social animals, the most difficult thing for human beings to overcome is the fact that everything they used to be with them day and night and everything they were familiar with is gone. .

Malashenko is not the omnipotent savior, but if he encounters something that he can do and help, then Malashenko will never refuse.

Physical trauma can be cured with medical treatment, but mental trauma must be treated with spiritual means.

Malashenko does not want the emotional fluctuations to have an irreversible impact on Ekakina. Once her eyes recover and she maintains her high spirits, her future in the army will still be immeasurable. The big family of the leader is her only remaining home, and every comrade and comrade around her is her family and friends.

""

Malashenko, who gently closed the door as he entered the room, stood at the door and stared at the beautiful girl lying on the hospital bed not far away.

Yekakina, who followed Kalachev's medical advice and was temporarily lying down to rest, with a layer of blindfold bandage wrapped on the bridge of her nose, below her forehead, and at the level of her eyes, has not yet recovered. It still takes about half a month to recover from the wounds that may burst again due to violent movements and collisions, thereby endangering vision.

Ekakina, whose eyes had been wrapped by the bandage around her head, couldn't see anything at this moment. She just lay quietly on the bed and kept breathing with her chest rising and falling. Malashenko, who came to sit on the chair next to the bed, did not speak immediately, but just kept watching quietly beside her.

"Hello, are you a doctor? Or are you looking for someone?"

"Um?"

Malashenko originally thought that his movements were light enough, but he didn't expect that the girl still noticed him keenly. He didn't know whether it was through hearing or some other way.

In short, after hearing this, Malashenko, who really had no need to hide his identity, immediately changed his tone to a gentler tone and spoke slowly.

"It's me, Malashenko. Just like we agreed, I'm here to see how you are recovering. Do you remember that agreement?"

"Comrade division commander? What are you doing?"

"Be gentle, don't move."

Seeing that her mood was suddenly aroused, Ekakina subconsciously wanted to get up. Malashenko quickly stood up and raised his hand to hold her shoulders, then gently pressed Ekakina back to the hospital bed and continued to speak. .

"Lie down and have a good rest. Don't get up. This is an order. I am here to visit the wounded, not to ask the wounded comrades to salute me and report on my work. You lie down and I sit, and we can just chat like this. I'm by your side, don't worry."
