The Germans are in a hurry. They always bombard the square and nearby streets with mortars and have only a few short breaks all day.
The company commander was ordered to occupy the bridge at dawn the next day. Therefore, he said, there is no need to move Chekhov's body back at this time and bury it after capturing the bridge tomorrow.
In the gravel cellar next to the battlefield, there lived an old woman: Mary Yuxi.
The old man saw the movements of five young people, and also saw the gunfire of the German army aiming at five people. She tried to call them to her side, but it was useless. Finally, he was injured and deaf.
When he woke up, she saw that there was only one Red Army every five years. The old man shouted for a long time, but the Red Army did not move. She knew he was dead.
The old man seems to be telling others that someone died here, but there is no one around.
Finally, she walked slowly with difficulty, scooped water from a big shell pit with her palm and buried the dead.
She also took a wedding candle that she could not bear to use for decades and burned it for the martyrs.
Finally, the other Red Army came to look for the soldier's body, which was wine, and only saw two candles swaying in the wind.
