First part

IN THE TWO LIGNES

You're talking to me about a section chief deputy who can't find his boots...

There it is, the boot! I threw her under the bed.

In his repertoire.

Those who fall under the first lines have a terrible desire to live.

Well, I don't suffer that we are breaking the Regulations.

Salute to Comrade Commander!

Five days of shutdown!

She doesn't let it happen without her scarf.

Good. Your report, I blame you and gives you fresh troops.

After which we start again from the beginning?

All you have to do is send us some who don't drink, who don't womanize...

Eunuchs, you mean?

The leaders will decide.

No way of putting things in order cantonment. Good women...

The inhabitant is not mine orders, from him comes all the evil.

Comrade Commander, you will enter not for a moment? The samovar is heating up.

Thanks, I have to go.

It's okay, Vaskov.

You hear, deputy section chief, you files to make you available to the PC.

Understood.

And you, Vaskov, I send you people

who cares even less than you To booze and petticoats.

- How about we stay? - On the way!

Come back with victory!

Calm down...

- These men are not bad. - But it's our fault.

Hello to the commissioner!

Don't blame us!

Very light, the leaders, very light, I would tell you.

Three days that we let's stay without coverage.

That, the commander was a little get to work quickly. Small problem.

Can't find two appropriate sections.

What calm all of a sudden.

Of course, again because of you.

I would have expelled the entire contingent women of the combat zone.

To the Gulag!

How is that? Who is it who will wash your underwear...

Here we are! Everyone get down!

A good thing to done, comrade soldiers!

A unit of the D.C.A.

Do they have their leader?

It doesn't seem like it, Fedote Evgrafovitch.

At the right time. Two Captains on deck are no worse.

Children, people of the D.C.A arriving!

Let's run and see!

Form the line!

- Arrived safely? - Exact !

On your guard, fixed!

Comrade Chief Adjutant,

Platoons 1 and 2, 5th company of the Anti-Aircraft Defense Battalion

are available for the protection of the cantonment!

deputy section chief Kirianova.

So... We were found people who don't drink.

- Caught ! - And let it jump!

- Nerve, girls! - This way!

Find something a little less heavy.

The wheelie on the bank.

You won't get a hernia.

Are your legs trembling?

Hurry, girls, we finish unpacking.

I point out that the men of the D.C.A. were staying with locals.

Men, that’s possible. We are women.

-And what is your name? - Britchkina. Lisabeth.

- Where are you from? - From Vologda.

Did you work on the kolkhoz?

Yes, but I also gave a helping hand to my father.

It works in your head.

The table now.

So there you go. Not a step out of the cantonment without my authorization.

- Even to pick cranberries? - They are not mothers.

And sorrel, can we?

To put in soup. We don't want to wither away.

The river and no further. There are quantities of it around the edges.

Liouda, V�ra, Katia - take custody.

That is to say?

What is it, Comrade Chief Warrant Officer?

- Katia takes command. - Thank you for trusting us.

The positioning of the sentries done according to the Regulations, strict.

Do you want to laugh or something...

And the Regulations... The Regulations, for the soldier, eh...

We, comrade chief adjutant, we have the authorization of the army commander.

For military secrecy.

You don't want to leave us Just a moment, let's clean up.

And consider finding us a location.

- Which premises again?

We hardly see any bushes in the neighborhood.

Are you getting old, F�dote?

Be careful, don't get the size wrong.

Don't worry.

We only have you here. As one might say, for reproduction.

You will do like the shepherd, one house after another.

Pauline, you're exaggerating! You are a soldier or a lady?

- So you behave accordingly. - Yes, F�dote...

Women, you know what it is. They can't do without that.

We also say thank you...

us good women.

Maria, will you have any booze?

Shall we have tea, Rita?

You have to sleep, girls. Retirement!

We knock before entering. It's not a mill, it's a barracks.

- What is that? - Don't you see?

- And the camouflage? Tell me that! - We have an order.

- What order? - The one you need.

Female soldiers are

allowed to hang their laundry on the entire front, for camouflage purposes.

I check. If the provision does not exist no, I'll take it all away and burn it.

Who will allow you to burn the staff’s closet?

The knave!

You saw me this impressionable old man?

That's okay, you...

Battle alert! Everyone at their post!

Hurry up!

Don't forget your weapon.

Britchkina! Demikopek!

Let’s get moving, girls, let’s get moving!

- First platoon on the right! - Second platoon on the left!

The population in the shelters!

Fire on sight!

On the twelve!

Loaded on the right!

Loaded left!

- Speed ​​140! - Got it, 140!

- 18! - Got it, 18!

Short burst!

- I'm targeting him! - Fire !

Speed ​​150!

Twelve !

Ten !

Eight !

Messers on the right! Target the lead plane!

Speed ​​180! Long burst!

Fire!

- Range 16! - Understood, range 16!

Lida!

Fire!

Why do they shoot at two at a time? Gotta aim for one...

Do you give them lessons? They do war, and you, like the cockroach?

So go over there, to the girls. Instead of strutting among the petticoats.

In war, everyone has their position.

So, Lisabeth? How is she?

- In mush. - It will heal.

The Messers are leaving!

In the crosshairs! Three!

Speed ​​140!

Correct the aim!

Short burst!

Shoot, Rita!

Shoot!

- I have the target. - Fire.

Touch! Like that!

- Like that, girls! - Take them down!

This is where my work begins.

- Where are you going! - We take them alive.

Go back!

Well done, Ossianina!

- His parachute did not open. - Maybe he's injured?

Still, he's having a bad time.

Keep your cartridges, you won't get it.

There is a second one swinging.

Look, Vaskov who wants to save him.

He's going to capture him.

Where he will land, in water or wood?

Stop!

Touch!

The second is cooked.

- Girls, a stretcher. - Will we wear it like that?

Better with the stretcher.

Did you see how she got it?

Attention !

Good work.

No, bad! They had to be taken alive.

Fuck off, you.

You know where, where I have to show you the way?

Be careful!

- Comrade Commander! - Rest.

I see clearly. Who did the work?

Sergeant Ossianina.

Yes, but not all alone, with the peloton.

It's good. I I will suggest for decoration.

I don't need decoration.

- Did you capture the pilots? - They fell into the water.

There is one, his parachute did not open.

The other fell into us the hands, it is she who...

- Too bad. - That's what I'm saying.

Know why they came recognize your positions, eh?

We have two injured.

We take them, the wounded. And I'm bringing you reinforcements, here it is.

Do you want to come, Marguerite?

I salute you, new recruits.

- Are you here for long? - We'll have to see if we like it.

Hand-sewn boots...

I know an officer the general staff, a married man.

He found himself, how say, a girlfriend.

Why are you telling me that?

Don't pay attention, listen instead.

The disciplinary council got wind of the thing,

the colonel in question has big trouble, and her friend, I have the order

to find another occupation for him.

I see.

- Can I go? - Come on.

Girls, here’s Rita!

Platoon leader Ossianina.

Private Komelkova.

Soldier Gurwizc

Why did you refuse decoration?

I have a personal account to settle.

Say so! You don't think you're anything.

There are people I don't understand.

- It's me? - For example.

Have we already given you a report? Go ahead, get my education.

You start right away, or after lights out?

- I had a husband, G�nia. - Did someone else whisper it to you?

You can not tell me about it, I won't pity you.

Nobody whispered it to me. He was killed on June 24.

And then, while he froze in the snow,

his wife got together with the regimental veterinarian.

Afterwards, he picked up his kid by judicial decision.

And he sent it to my mother.

Tomorrow, health day. The whole garrison in the baths!

You will come and touch the soap.

That's why I asked to be paid here. To be closer to them.

Now I am no longer alone.

I'll go see them tomorrow.

You're lucky.

I don't have anyone.

My little brother, my little sister, Mom - machine-gunned.

- During an attack? - No. An execution.

Families of all ranks were shot with machine guns.

The neighbor, an Estonian, hid me at her house.

I saw everything.

Genia, and this colonel?

How could you do that?

Like that, I was able.

Commander Luzhin at your orders.

Welcome to you.

Meet me, my daughter Eug�nia.

I was able to do that.

Give for two, me and Tatiana.

- Who will rub your back? - The commander.

Why not, not a bad man at all.

We have to draw straws.

You speak, this old moldy stump.

Knows no more than 20 words, and even then, all learned in the Regulations.

Don't tell, his boss is very happy with it.

That’s not all true!

She is in love with it! She was mad about it!

Girls, our Britchkina who was crazy about a soldier!

We're going to marry them!

You should be ashamed...

You shouldn't tell us everything you learn in the village.

You speak, the hero's widow!

If you just shut up! You are the first to...

I point out to you, comrade chief sergeant,

that I'm nervous and I have nothing left to lose.

You say?

Aren't you girls going to argue?

Here, I read you a poem. You want ?

Come on, what, big beast...

I don't know anymore, Rita, I don't know anything anymore...

We were in the border area, there was no one else there.

My father was a forest ranger.

Mom kept telling me:

You have to believe it, my daughter.

Happiness, you will perhaps meet tomorrow,

you will have your share, you will see...

Are you leaving?

Tomorrow.

- Who is it ? - Me.

What, are you bored?

I'm bored.

Don't do stupid things, even if we are bored.

At the beginning of spring, he sends me a postcard.

Lisa, you need to study.

Come to us in August. I will do it necessary for college, home.

It was last year, in 41.

You have to believe it, Lisa. Without fail.

It may be true that happiness is not far away.

And that you will meet him tomorrow.

Except there is no return ticket.

Sonia, you read us something else?

I loved you, love, it may be,

Is not in my heart not completely extinct;

But what now That doesn't worry you,

I wouldn't want to distress you in any way.

I loved you without words nor without chimeras,

Consumed with fear or even jealousy;

So tenderly, with such a sincere soul...

Please the Lord that another loves you like this.

Let's see, what?

What do you have?

What is Ossianina complaining about?

She was married, she had a child.

While I was 18 years old and already in this skin. And I neither...

Stop.

You have everything in front of you.

Genia, he has his family.

But I love him, dad.

Stop!

- Comrade colonel! - What do you want?

Here...

Genia? Where do you come from?

What are you doing!

Stop!

Assassins!

What's happening to you, Genia?

I too have a score to settle.

- For whom? - Komelkova.

- For whom? - Demikopek.

- Hold. - No need.

Hold.

- For whom? - lolkina.

THANKS.

Girls, don't blame me yesterday...

I heard everything yesterday I didn't do it on purpose.

I won't say anything to anyone, until my last breath.

Sugar, concentrate. I have others.

Get ready, we're going to the baths.

Take it, Rita.

Platoon, stop!

Rest. Break ranks!

- Fishing, comrade chief adjutant? - No, bathe.

The water is cool, you Don't worry about catching a cold?

Baths are better.

Do you ever get pinched by a crayfish?

Come with us, we'll rub your back!

- Stop, Lisa. - Wait!

But you're boring me!

Hello, girls!

Genia, but you are like an undine!

Your skin is transparent.

A model for sculptors...

How beautiful you are...

A girl like you, and in fatigues...

Let's see that, I add a little steam...

The kids, you don't touch anything!

How good...

When you are a soldier, during the day bathing is a real party.

One day we will be old, we will mother the grandchildren

and we will remember of this steam bath.

Should start by having children.

Girls, look!

Beautiful linen is my weak point.

You put your weak point and I do a chore before your turn.

You know how much has already caused me some chores!

-And you persist in wearing it? - Especially since what is it for?

Girls, what I'm poorly made...

But what are you Tell me, Galia, stop.

Come here.

See how well you are made.

We're going to make you a prima!

- What if we had a ball? - Chick!

- A ball to celebrate what? - To have fun in vain.

This is the village. This is Lake Legonte.

The Murmansk line. The White Sea Canal.

And arrows, circles everywhere. What does this mean?

All roads are signposted.

They know absolutely everything.

Everything and not everything. They know how to get around the lake.

The swamp is also there. And it is marked impassable.

The girls were asking Paulina's phonograph, they're having a party.

They shouldn't get drunk after the steam bath.

I'm going to give them some fun.

Come on, go.

Genia, you are a witch...

Too bad we don't have any riders.

Come on, to good luck.

Nina Kroupska Orphanage.�.a

He said to me:

be mine

and I will live

a burning passion.

Charming smile,

mutinous look,

everything promises me

the joys of paradise.

To my poor heart he spoke thus,

To my poor heart he spoke thus,

But he didn't love me,

he didn't love me,

no, he didn't love me at all.

Micha!

Micha!

We are leaving today.

For you.

THANKS.

I know you like it.

The Germans took Minsk.

I don't know how to dance.

Understood.

And here is a rider. Hold on to the railing!

- The commander. - This is Vaskov.

Grandfather, what fear... Watch out!

Comrade head of the garrison!

The unit I command is at rest.

Four sentinels post. No sick people.

We thank you for the bath.

Chief Sergeant Kirianova.

Dance, I see that too.

- Will you have time to do your turn? - I'm afraid not.

- Russian dance. - I'll see.

What do you like the most?

It's time to go to sleep. Get up at 6 a.m.

Wait a minute, Rita.

G�nia sings us one more. The chief adjutant listens.

Finished, girls. The concert is over. The Regulation is the Regulation.

It's true that we fall asleep.

Since we have to go...

Pauline, stay. Look this rain, you will be soaked.

Well, if it's like that...

Especially since I don't have no sleep at all, it's so light.

Enough, girls, retire! Everyone is sleeping.

Comrade Commander! Comrade Commander!

Comrade Commander!

What do you want?

The Germans are in the woods.

- How do you know? - I saw them. Paratroopers.

There are 2 of them. They have machine guns.

Battle alert! Kirianova to me! At a run!

Understood !

Battle alert!

Kirianova at the commander's!

Two !

Sergeant Ossianina.

I have declared the alert, comrade leader. It would be a matter of raking the wood

You authorize me to start the search?

Since there are only 2 Germans. Just in case, I'll take care of it myself.

As long as they haven't left.

At your command, Commander.

And you, what were you doing there at four in the morning?

Nothing. My needs.

Since I have you put the toilet on for that.

What, is she too small?

There are questions to which a woman is not required to respond.

There are no women here!

There are soldiers and leaders. It's war!

And until she's finished, everyone world is gender neutral.

This is why your bed is unmade, comrade adjutant chief of the neutral gender.

Take care!

Rest !

Ossianina, order. Who goes there?

Genia!

- Galia! - One moment, Ossianina.

We're going to pick up the Germans, we don't go fishing.

And they have machine guns.

- They know how to shoot, at least? - They know.

Can I be one?

No objection.

Yes, one more thing. Someone knows German, perhaps?

Me.

Say, you haven't read the Regulations? Your report!

Soldier Gurwizc.

And where are the caps?

How high is it? hands '' in German?

H�nde hoch.

Exact.

Okay, come on, Gurwizc. We left for two days.

Are you alone, Maria?

Alone.

In case the enemy is spotted or there is a problem,

can someone imitate a cry of a beast or a bird?

I'm talking seriously!

You can't give voice to the forest. The Germans are not deaf.

I can.

- A cry of what? - Bray like donkeys.

It's true that it looks similar.

There aren't many donkeys around here.

Good. You will teach me to scream like a duck.

That's the male who calls the female.

Twice - watch out, I see the enemy.

Three times - all mine. Is that clear, comrade soldiers?

Form the ranks! And a little faster! Britchkina!

Watch out, fix!

To make up for me all the time how long the operation will last

I point to Sergeant Ossianina.

And don’t forget the duck.

Left, left! Forward, march!

We are waiting for you, girls!

Genia!

In column of two, march!

Galia! Don't take unnecessary risks!

You have your dad and your mom, Or are you an orphan?

Orphan? Rather an orphan, I think...

You mean you're not sure?

Can we be sure of anything in this moment, comrade chief adjutant?

That's right.

They are in Minsk, my parents. I was studying in Moscow. And there...

- Do you have any news? - Do you think...

- Are your parents Jewish? - Naturally.

Naturally... If they were In Moscow, I wouldn't have asked.

Maybe they have had time to leave?

Name of...

Did you want to swear? Swear, I'm already used to it.

- Are you dead? - No.

Let's see, soldier Gurwizc, you shout at me three times.

- Why do it? - To see if we are ready for combat.

Have you forgotten how I showed it?

What is there?

Nothing. Otherwise, the archangels up there would already welcome you.

See her tail frolicking in the air like the heifer.

- Tired? - No, but!

Perfect then. What do you have so glimpse on your way?

Nothing special. A twig broken when turning the wood.

That's right, well done. And you ?

Nothing either. Complete calm.

- A fresh trail in the dew. - You have the eye!

That's good, private Britchkina.

And some shoe prints left by the Boche paratroopers.

As they present themselves, they left to go around the lake.

It will give them a nice ride, within 60 kilometers.

Great good for them. We will pick them as quickly as possible.

How is that?

Not here. I know the path.

And now, 10 minutes to smoke and relieve yourself.

And tight-lipped!

Break up!

We don't stray too far.

Is it deep down there?

In places... In short, as far as I think.

You will have until the belt. Take care of your weapons.

They follow me. We don't does not deviate by a centimeter.

Smut!

- Komelkova, we don't stop! - I'm coming...

Come on, come on...

Demikopek, don't go! Ossianina, get out of there by yourself!

Move forward, Galia.

- Comrade adjutant chief... - What do you want?

Don't stop... You will stay there!

I lost my boot...

- You haven't found her? - No...

- Where are you going! Don't move! - I want to help him...

Stop! We can't retrace your steps...

Britchkina, you give him the pole!

Get out of there, Komelkova!

Follow me, forward!

And my boot?

How do you want it find now?

Come on, Komelkova, one last effort...

Hold it tight, Genia...

Slowly, slowly... The island is there.

We must move forward. Let's go...

People follow me, they walk like me...

On the knees?

It doesn't matter.

Are there leeches?

there is nothing at all here. A unhealthy place, completely dead.

Don't be afraid, it's the methane rising.

The old people say it's in corners like that where the sylvan dwells.

- Who? - The sylvan.

Stories, of course.

It's in the books.

No rush, eh. Very gently, here we take a break.

It felt good...

Ground?

- Ground. - Rest then.

How did you go about it? Had to curl the toes.

And what did I do?

There's no harm, we'll make a sandal for him.

Seen.

- But after the swamp. Can you? - I could.

It's not good after a bath, is it?

I'm wet up to the... In short, you will be up to your belt.

You should have worn your nice linen.

Genia.

Standing !

We remove the poles and we follows me in the previous order.

We will dry off, we will will heat up afterwards. On the other side.

Genia, do you have your ice cream?

Genia, you fix my hair.

You are pretty enough like that. Do your own hair.

- Genia, enough splashing! - I'm coming, yes.

Is everyone ready? Go ahead, it's okay.

So, fellow soldiers of the Red Army, how are you?

That's okay, comrade chief adjutant.

- Aren't we cold? - Since there is no one to keep warm.

- Wait, you're going to sweat again. - I would like to see that...

Shoe that.

That's a boot...

- Are you comfortable? - Very good. Better than with the boot.

On the way, fellow soldiers! We have still 1 hour 30 minutes of walking ahead of us.

At a run, they follow me...

We hurry up, quickly...

- So, Komelkova, have you warmed up? - At least I'm not sweating yet.

From there leave the heights of Sinyukhin.

Another lake surrounds them on the other side.

Lake Legonte is called.

A monk named Legonte had come to live there.

He was looking for silence.

That's not what's missing around here.

The Germans have only one way: between the two lakes, from above.

The battle continues, peace is a dream to us,

through blood and dust gallops the steppe horse,

under his hooves the wild grass...

Comrade soldiers.

The enemy numbering 2 Krauts progresses towards Lake Vope,

it aims to go out in secret on the Kirov railway

and the White Sea-Baltic Canal which bears the name of comrade Stalin.

I decided to wait for the adversary on this basic position

and to summon him to surrender.

In case he resists, one of them will be killed, the other will have to be taken alive.

- It's clear. - Like the mouse in its hole.

- I'm the one who speaks first. - In German?

In Russian. You will translate if they don't understand. Did we get it?

If you discover yourself like that during the affair,

there is no infirmary in the neighborhood, and there's no mom either...

With the Germans, better worth waging war at a distance..

While you are reloading the rifle, he has transformed you into a sieve.

So I order you to stay lying down.

As long as I didn't order ''fire''.

Because there is no of female sex that holds.

And we don't sleep, we observe the terrain.

- The Germans? - Where?

For God's sake... I have visions.

You would take a little nap, Fedote Evgrafovich.

Do you think, Ossianina? It's nothing, just tiredness.

I will be entitled to a deep sleep if we missed the Krauts.

When they have killed a great leader or blows up an important objective,

try to explain to them, in court,

why instead of raking wood and neutralize the Germans

I got lost, the devil knows where.

I wanted to spare my people?

I was afraid of sending you to the heist blowjob - that's not justification.

What justification, if the mission entrusted to me is not accomplished.

What if they were sleeping?

- Sleep... - They're still men, right?

You said the highs are the only one practicable access to the railway line.

- And to reach them they have... - 60 kilometers.

And in unknown territory, and in suspecting the slightest bush.

Marguerite... it's what is your last name?

Just say Rita.

I can ?

To my dear defender of the Fatherland.

A gift.

- Make one, Comrade Rita. - I don't smoke.

But for what they are too men, I hadn't thought about it.

The idea is correct.

- You dye them, I bet? - Not at all...

A mermaid.

We can't even comb our hair anymore?

Get it sorted.

Comrade Chief Adjutant, you allow?

I allow.

Comrade Chief Adjutant, Are you married?

I am married, Private Komelkova.

Where is your wife?

Of course, at home.

Do you have children?

Children?

I had a little guy.

Why - you had?

Like that. The grandmother didn't know how to keep it.

Finally, how?

She left us, the wife.

Rita, tell him your story.

I'll tell him when we get back.

We see immediately that you have seen others, soldier Britchkina.

installed according to the rules of the art, and you play the duck properly.

- You have nothing to report? - Dead calm for the moment.

Note everything carefully, Lisabeth.

Movement in the bush, the birds that are frightened...

You come from the forest, you know everything.

How good we are, eh...

As if there was no war.

Lisa, Lisa, Lisabeth, When will you write me a letter?

Why don't you sing, funny girl? Does your funny point interest you?

We have a nursery rhyme like that in the country.

And you, comrade Chief Warrant Officer, are you from here?

It's been a long time since I serve in the region.

At home, we sing...

You and me, we will sing afterwards, Lisabeth.

We accomplish our mission and we sing.

- Do you give your word? - Since I told you.

Be careful, comrade Chief Warrant Officer, you promised.

Those born during the debacle

don't remember the way.

We are the children dark years in Russia,

we can never forget.

Incendiary years...

Bringers of madness, bearers of hope?

Days of war, days of freedom -

on our faces your bloody reflection...

on our faces your bloody reflection...

Who are you reading this to?

Why out loud then?

What, these are worms.

You damage your eyes.

We see as in broad daylight, comrade chief adjutant.

I say it like that, eh. Don't sit on the rock.

As it cools it will take your heat Fold your condom and get on it.

Yes, Comrade Chief Warrant Officer. THANKS.

But don't read out loud, eh?

In the evening the air is humid, thick, and the dawns here are calm.

We hear everything 5 kilometers around.

� Sonia forever. Micha.

Why are you holding yourself together like that?

I'm cold.

But don't move.

You have a fever, comrade soldier.

What the swamp is, what the boot is.

Do you swallow like that or should I cut it?

- What is this ? - A potion.

- A potion... alcohol! - Alcohol.

I don't want to!

Drink and don't talk. It's an order.

Drink !

My little mom...

Don't breathe.

Moms are after, for those who survive the war.

My head is going...

It doesn't matter. You will catch up with her tomorrow.

- And you, without your condom? - Don't worry, I'm healthy.

But you heal me until tomorrow morning. Do this for me, you need to get well.

I'll try.

Moms are after, for those who survive the war.

Where are the Germans?

- Don't move, we have orders to sleep. - So, Galia?

- And Rita, where is she? - Stayed with Vaskov.

What ?

Do you hear?

The birds that cry.

Magpies. Magpies shrikes making a racket.

This means that someone comes, let them be disturbed.

The signal, Ossianina, alerts the troops. Let it jump! Gurwizc to me.

But without being seen! Attention !

Hello, Comrade Chief Warrant Officer.

Hi. What is Demikopek like?

She is sleeping. We preferred don't wake her.

You did well. Stay with me for the connection. But don't show yourself.

I don't show myself.

We would swear they were ghosts.

Part two

A FIGHT FOR LOCAL INTEREST

16, Comrade Chief Warrant Officer.

I see.

Go find Ossianina, the staff falls back to reserve positions.

Send me Britchkina.

And we crawl, comrade interpreter. From this moment, all of life crawling.

Comrade chief adjutant.

Take a deep breath, Britchkina.

- Will you find your way back? - Yes.

- The big piece - the swamp. - I know well.

Wait, Elisabeth, don't don't get upset.

The ford is narrow: on the left, On the right, not the slightest gap.

- I'll stop by. - You catch your breath on the island.

You tell Kirianova that the situation has changed.

We won't make it with our own strength.

You take nothing, you go like that.

Don't forget the pole to pass.

- Go for it, Elisabeth, daughter of your father... - Should I leave the cartridges?

Fortunately we passed.

It's getting bad, girls... it's getting bad.

So there are 16 of them...

And they will be there from here three hours, I think.

I sent Britchkina to the cantonment.

We cannot hope for help before the end of the day.

If we start the fight, we will not hold out.

As good as the position is it is impossible, they have 16 machine guns.

What, we're going to watch them parade under our noses?

We must not let them take from above. We must confuse them.

Force them to go around of the lake. But how?

No, these Germans don't didn't come here to fight.

They advance cautiously, avoiding inhabited places, so as not to be spotted.

To get to the goal without noise, neither seen nor known.

It might be better let them see us,

and we pretend that we didn't notice them?

Possible that in this case they will fall back and engage around the lake?

And that's a day's walk.

And who am I going to show them? Me and you four?

They will quickly recognize that there are five of us.

They surround us without firing a bullet and all 5 - with knives.

Go ahead, Rita.

Comrade Chief Adjutant, what if they find loggers?

Which lumberjacks, where? The woods are deserted, it’s war.

For what ? The women are in the process to stock up on wood.

Just girls! Well found.

We're going to put on a show for them, even though I know the right place.

We are moving, time is running out...

Our girls are coming!

- Wait, I'll carry you. - No, why?

Your evil has not yet left you.

They are coming, comrade chief adjutant.

- She's chilly. - Lift up your skirt.

It's not said in the Regulations.

We forget the military terminology. They also have their interpreters.

As if I were the same...

Would you like your potion?

Don't run where it's wet. Let's hurry, girls.

We still have to put on the show.

Good idea, Lisa's scarf.

- Too bad we tore it up. - We'll give him a brand new one.

That's when the rags serve a purpose.

She thinks that showing herself...

In the meantime you cover yourself and you stay with me. Girls, let's start.

We make a lot of smoke, we Plug in while trying to make it heard.

But you don't exhibit.

You go, you come, you discover a little but not too much.

- Praskovia! - What ?

- Take your axe! - It's done !

Get your hands dirty...

What do I do? And, rran... Let me help you,,,

It doesn't burn...Wood damp no doubt.

Look, me, if it flares...

Once again! Together... he doesn't want to lick...

More... Just a little more...

- Park! - that's it...

We cut the branches, quickly!

Prascovia, you follow me...

Masha, have you peeled your potatoes?

It's done ! I can't feel my hands anymore...

Take care...

Girls, a helping hand...

Come on...

The center called. they send us trucks.

Shall we have lunch soon?

As soon as the potato is ready...

The girls.

Stay very careful, I insist.

Move away from trees, avoid brush.

You will take this one down without me.

Komelkova, mine.

Here you go, Galia.

Aniouta, pass the axe.

Find yours. It's my axe, I use it.

Girls, this way the branches.

Someone help me...

Perhaps they have left?

Who can say it? It's possible.

They know what they're doing. A mission like that we don't send just anyone.

- Shura, you help me... - But wait...

Wait!

I see clearly.

Again, again, come on...We got it!

We had a good nose.

Their scouts.

They still made up their minds.

Now they will cross and everything is ruined.

If they understand that they have been spotted,

they count us on five fingers and we're done.

Well...

I'm starting these two.

While they empty their machine gun on me,

you may have time to retreat.

Go, Komelkova, join the girls. I've got you covered.

Ra.�.a!

Vera! swimming!

Stop! Come back!

Pear trees and apple trees were in flower.

the fog tumbled down the river,

Katyusha was coming to the bank,

the high bank plunging into the water.

Katyusha was coming to the bank,

the high bank plunging into the water.

She came, she sang her song.

the song of the blue eagle of the steppe, the one who...

Where are you, my little lvan?

Girls, let's swim!

- Right away, Genia! - We're coming!

Wait for us!

Where are you going? And the job? I'm going show you some swimming...

The work can wait, Nothing will happen to him!

We'll catch up later!

Watch out...

Watch out for bad stones!

I'll teach you to pretend!

You will go swimming after work!

Fall back on my position. You will cover for me.

They cut me off sharply!

But where are you, Ivan!

Say, shouldn't the water be hot?

But where are you hanging out at the end?

You don't want to? Too bad for you.

I'm coming out of the water...

So, girls, shall we go swimming?

I'm coming, I'm coming...

The center called, the Trucks are coming, get dressed.

It's not true...

Get out of here, Komelkova!

Are you afraid of water, lvan?

lvan!

I can't take it anymore. You will see, I get up and open fire.

You must not do that, Sonia.

What are you doing? Wait a bit...

lvan lvanovitch, trucks are here! We're waiting for you, hurry up!

Enough playing with fire!

Get dressed.

Reheat it.

Calm down, calm down.

They're leaving, Genia, they're leaving.

Did you see how we got them...

Look, when do you have me even took a bath.

- She didn't do it on purpose. - What ?

No.

My skirt! Look, girls...

It doesn't matter, we'll give you some another. At least they're over.

You made them go around from the lake, they have no other way.

Provided, of course, that Britchkina arrives in time.

She will succeed, quickly the girl.

Well, how about we toast the occasion?

We drink from his agile legs.

to your waking heads.

The greatest danger is over.

As soon as we get back, I everyone advances for the medal.

And G�nia, for an order.

I agree, no objection.

In the meantime, thank you for your exemplary behavior.

For the Soviet Union!

Do you feel that?

Civilization betrays them. THE Germans treat themselves to black coffee.

What makes you think so?

I smell the scent, that means they stopped for breakfast.

All 16? There you go what you should know.

We'll have to count them, Marguerite.

If the weapons come into action

you take the girls and you head due east, to the canal.

There you give the alert, but I believe

that by then the Lisabeth will have joined ours.

- Is the order clear? - No. And you ?

You, Ossianina, stop. We're not there to collect the mushrooms.

- What should I say? - The order is clear, you must say.

We will push the song afterwards, you and me.

We accomplish our mission and we sing.

Help! Help!

Genia, were you very scared?

But no, only after the fact.

If I was alone, but you are next door.

The saying goes that there is no beautiful death than among his own.

They haven't left, they're bivouacking. We change position.

It was lucky that the Germans don't have a real tout with them.

- For what ? - I've been smelling you for a while.

Will you bring me my tobacco pouch?

A thousand pardons, F�dote Evgrafovitch, I forgot...

There's no harm, I have my big gray.

Already good that you have my package.

Too bad for the joke, it was a memory.

- Where are you going? - I know where she is.

You don't move! Sit down! Go back!

Sat !

He will need other boots, they slam these.

No wonder, two sizes above.

The main thing now is not to betray our presence.

Also you tighten your packages tightly, so that it doesn't falter.

I think Lisa Britchkina has arrived, at this time.

As soon as we have launched reinforcements on their trail,

I will shelter you in the rocks.

For what reason?

away, so that you Don't hear the swearing.

There is a chance that the matter must settle into hand-to-hand combat.

- So what? We will close our ears. - We're not asking your opinion.

Now we camouflage ourselves and we open our eyes.

We refrain from sneezing!

And cough... it's a very long way away.

Wasn't Gurwicz the one who shouted?

No, I would have thought so.

Komelkova with me. The others are waiting here.

Follow me.

The Germans?

Don't talk. What misery... What misery...

That's why she had time to scream.

He thought he was hitting a man.

The first shot is not did not go to the heart

It's my fault what's happening to you.

Stay here for a while, my little Sonia.

No time to do your crisis, Komelkova!

Catch your breath.

They are there.

Very close. There are two.

They will climb the height and they will pass very close to us.

You put yourself behind this rock.

When they are at the height of the pine, you make noise, anything.

But neither before nor after.

We can't shoot, others will apply. Come on.

Very good, Komelkova.

You will get your quote.

Get out of the way. Lord... what do I see?

They broke human law.

As a result, they themselves outlawed.

Do you want to do without some water?

I understand. These things we must get used to it, your heart must harden.

Men, strong fellows, even them...

As long as we don't have reforged consciences...

Will you be able to find ours?

Okay, go. Come to Sonia, finally, there...

Say your goodbyes.

And no nervous breakdowns...

She was the best everywhere.

At school, at university.

Yes...

She read verses.

And above all, she would have had beautiful children.

Who would have given him grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

And the thread would never have broken.

And they, with a stab, they cut the wire.

Put on your shoes.

Why did you do that?

My soldier has nothing to wear on the feet. We don't play rattle here.

We have to think about the living. There is no other law in war.

I order you to put on these boots.

It's impossible. How can you? I'm going...

I will write it to my parents.

Stop stuffing our heads! You have no parents and you never had one...

You are a foundling, Don't make up stories!

You shouldn't talk like that. Now is not the time to be mean.

Until we become beastly, like the Germans...

Here it is.

Don't pull it long, it rocks at the top.

- I know. - It would hurt me to cut it short.

So people listen to me. We hide the unnecessary stuff.

All weapons with you.

Let's disperse!

to me! They fall back.

Are you affected?

No, shards of stone.

Sergeant, thank you for the little second that you left me.

This second is worth paying you your daily vodka, until the grave.

- A miracle that you are here. - I'm lucky.

Lucky... Luck, I saw them first.

Stay here for a while.

We talk to her nicely, and she...

A komsomole! here every soldier counts.

Comrade Chief Adjutant, Are you in the party?

Obviously.

We ask you to chair the meeting of the J.C.

And what do you have on the agenda?

The disgraceful behavior fight of a Komsomol member.

His cowardice.

In other words, we organize the little bureaucratic theater?

Comrade Demikopek is condemned, do we write a report?

And we ask the Krauts to validate it - do you find this normal?

Not me.

Also, as chief adjutant and member of the Communist Party,

I am currently canceling all meetings.

And as for cowardice, there was nothing like it.

Cowardice is never seen than in the second fight.

There, it is a question of disarray, through inexperience, that's all.

True, Private Demikopek?

I order you to wipe tears and the rest.

Ossianina, you post yourself At the front, watch the wood.

The other soldiers are eating and if possible, rest.

Eat something, my little Demikopek.

- Eat. - THANKS.

Why didn't they hire the fight, what do you think?

You don't know. Well me neither.

While the enemy you have to know how to understand it.

War is not whose will bring down the most men.

War is about who makes the best way to use your brain.

You should rest a little.

No, Marguerite, you have to go back recognition. Even if you can't take it anymore.

Who do you take with you?

You are a good soldier, Ossianina, but you don't know your Rules.

And the Regulations... What does the Regulation say?

The leader is not only a military superior.

He is also required to be an educator.

Not her. Better Genia.

Of course it's better.

We cannot admit that someone stops respecting themselves.

Walk at a distance, without nothing to take, just the weapons

If you hear knocks of fire or a double cry of a duck,

you take shelter and you wait for us to join you.

And if you see us not come, you withdraw

without anyone seeing you in the direction from the East, to the first village.

- How old are you? - For real? Seventeen years old.

What, did you lie to them during recruitment?

Lied. I said that the Germans killed my parents,

Well say so...

Finally, didn't I have parents one day?

It was at the orphanage that they called you like that?

- The idea of ​​the thrifty. - A good name.

- Do you like it? - Small change but worth a lot.

Move more! You're not there!

Mom !

First section, take them from behind!

The others follow me!

For the Soviet Fatherland, hurray...

Let's run, Rita, let's run, there are only two of them...

We can't, Genia, an order is an order...

Get 'em, guys! Death to fascist carrion!

They're following me! Ahead !

Fire at will on the Fascist carrion!

As you wish. So I'm going without you.

Private Komelkova, you don't play games policemen and thieves - war!

Long live Stalin! Ahead !

Do you hear?

He creates a diversion so that they don't arrive not on us and on Galia...

He promised to be there tomorrow.

A little more tea?

There are six of them.

They will get there.

How clear the nights are...

Clear but cold.

The North.

It should not be that girls take it hard.

How did this happen to you, Lisabeth?

I was in a bit of a hurry.

- Fedote Evgrafovitch! - Fedote Evgrafovitch!

Comrade Chief Adjutant!

- F�dote Evgrafovitch, it’s us! - We are here!

Our dear F�dote Evgrafovitch...

Alive...

Our dear man...Here you are...Finally...

Come on, girls... Come on...

At least you ate a crumb, slept a bit?

We didn't want to, comrade chief adjutant.

Which adjutant comrade, sisters? I'm like your brother now.

Call me F�dote, and even F�dia, as my mother called me.

My name is not very practical, but I don't have another one.

We buried our Galia.

Our comrades are fallen from the death of the brave.

Galia Demikopek - in an exchange of fire.

Lisa Britchkina she drowned in the swamp.

So with Sonia, we We have already lost three of ours.

It's like that.

But here is a day that we immobilize let's biliate the enemy. A whole day.

So let's address thinking of our little sisters.

Let us think of them well.

Why you did not carry out the order?

What order?

I gave you the order to retreat towards the East.

Well yes, we retreated.

- Folded... - We recovered all the gear.

For the convenience, thank you. And now, we listen to the new order.

Get ready, put it away briskly and forward, walk.

We no longer have help to be expected from nowhere.

And the Germans are advancing. It's so no time to take a nap.

And you, F�dote?

It's my turn now, to save a day.

The three that will not be returned to us,

I will have them on my conscience until the end of my days.

Have you lost something, F�dia?

Here I am without artillery. The bait got the hell out of there.

A grenade without a primer it's more than scrap metal.

A good paving stone would be more useful.

It doesn't matter, F�dote, we will push them back.

We will push them back, comrade chief adjutant.

Get out, the rest of you, and faster than that. I'll give you three minutes.

We refuse to leave.

Say... You don't want to go court-martialed for non-execution...

Do you think to me, my little girls?

We are also on the grill, comrade chief adjutant.

More than two days already.

Not the slightest sign of life.

No emissary either. I say - no emissary, nothing!

I more or less see the route.

Understood, introduce myself immediately!

Comrade soldiers!

The enemy armed to the teeth advance on us.

We have no one, neither to the right nor to the left.

And help to be expected from nowhere.

Therefore, order to all,

including me, to hold the front.

And hold on. Even when the strength will be lacking, hold on despite everything.

On this side, there is no land for the Germans.

Because behind us there is Russia.

More simply, the Fatherland.

Beautiful life, my brothers,

Beautiful life, my brothers, beautiful life

with the adjutant, we have no problem!

We don't shoot until the Germans do not enter the water.

In the meantime, we breathe every other time, so that the birds don't hear. Seen?

Seen.

Take, but for the bank opposite - the rifle. In reserve, the submachine gun.

That's when they cross that it will be useful to you. Seen ?

- Seen. - Wait.

Keep an eye on this side. Sometimes they try to trick you.

- Understood. - Come on.

Comrade chief adjutant.

Hurry! Rita!

There.

- What was that? - A grenade.

Water... Water...

- One moment. - No.

Rags! Linen!

Faster!

- No silk, linen... - There isn't one.

Thank you, Genia.

The Germans? Where are the Germans?

Go...go...

- Are you covering for us? - Yeah.

It's nothing... it's nothing... Rita.

Simple scratches will heal.

Go... go there. Genia, she’s over there.

Where are you going so quickly?

She misdirects them. So that they chase her.

Leave me.

Leave alone.

We surround them! Follow me!

He said to me:

be mine

and I will live

a burning passion.

Charming smile,

mutinous look,

everything promises me

the joys of paradise.

Once he smiled,

another he shed tears,

Once he smiled,

another he shed tears,

But he didn't love me...

To my poor heart he spoke thus...

The bastards! Come on, come here, vermin...

To my poor heart he spoke thus...

But he didn't love me, no, he didn't love me at all...

He didn't love me!

No more... Me!

He had promised...

Curious.

Hey, you!

For Rita! For Galia! For Sonya! For Lisa!

He said to me:

bright star,

my soul on the back burner

you enlightened it!

And hope...

in my heart... you lit it!

This way, come!

But come on!

Ah, are you scared?

Carrion!

Killed instantly?

At the time.

She could hide, but she didn't want to.

And where are the Germans?

They left, no doubt look for explosives.

They didn't defeat us! Do you understand? Not defeated!

Are you in pain?

It hurts there, yes.

I sacrificed you, sacrificed every five.

And in the name of what? For these ten Krauts?

You are wrong to say that.

You know it's... war.

War, I know.

But then, when will peace return?

What will I know?

What do I I will respond when I am told -

so, men,

you didn't know the keep balls, our mothers?

Don't say that, we are defending the Fatherland.

Stop torturing yourself like that.

Lie down for a while, me I take a look over there.

It's true that I have 2 cartridges left.

Always that. We feel reassured.

Wait.

Come here.

Do you remember when I fell on the Germans, at the crossroads?

I was going into town to see mom.

My son is with her, my little Igor.

Mom is seriously ill.

Don't worry, Rita, I understand.

I thank you.

I do my little recognition and I'll come back.

We will join ours at night.

Kiss me.

You sting...

Go. Throw at me a few branches and goes.

You must succeed, without fail.

We will succeed together.

What did you do, my little one? But what did you do?

Hende hoch!

Lageit!

Lageit! Lageit!

Lageit! Lageit!

Come on! Come on! In the corner!

Come on! In the corner!

In the corner! Hende hoch!

Hende hoch!

What, you got us?

You got us, huh?

Five girls!

Five girls altogether. Five ! And you couldn't do anything!

You didn't pass! You will die here!

You will all die! I kill you, with my own hand!

Let someone judge me after... Let someone judge me...

this is Moscow. The lnformburo communicates:

Evening bulletin.

This Wednesday, June 3, a calm relative reigned across the entire front.

In some sectors we noted

fights of local interest.

The night returns on the sleeping mountains.

Next to the wood fire they are the eyes of friends which shine like this.

The wind falls with the last song

no doubt he went looking for you.

If they could all together come here by chance,

in the land where glaciers break with noise.

In all countries I have a lot of friends,

but why are you not among them?

I will look for you, I will hope along the way,

even if I have to walk for centuries.

I will look for you, because I still believe

that I will find you somewhere, very far from here...

- Do you like it? - Very.

These ghosts haunt still around.

That's all, father.

Well, perfect like that, lgor.
