Nguva pfupi mushure mekuita kwakatarwa muchitsauko chakapfuura isu takasiya migero yemazuva edu echinyakare mumabhiridha. Yakanga yave pedyo Zuva reKisimusi, uye isu takaziva kuti zvaizowira kumugove wedu kuti tidzokere mumigero zvakare musi wa23 Zvita, uye kuti isu, zvichizotevera, tinoshandisa Kisimusi yedu ipapo. Ini ndinorangarira panguva iyoyo ndainyanya kuderera pane rombo rangu pamusoro peizvi, sezvo chero chinhu chiri muchimiro chemhemberero dzeZuva reKisimusi chaive pachena kugogodzwa pamusoro. Zvino, zvakadaro, ndichitarisa kumashure kwazviri zvese, ndingadai ndisina kupotsa iro rakasarudzika uye risinganzwisisike Zuva reKisimusi kune chero chinhu.

Zvakanaka, sezvandakambotaura, takapinda "mukati" zvakare musi wa23. Mamiriro ekunze akange zvino ave akanaka kwazvo uye achitonhora. Kwayedza yechi24 yakaunza rakanyarara, rinotonhora, zuva rechando. Mweya weKisimusi wakatanga kutizadza tese; takaedza kuronga nzira uye nzira dzekugadzira zuva rinotevera, Kisimusi, dzakasiyana neimwe nzira kune vamwe. Kukoka kubva kune imwe yakacherwa-kuenda kune imwe yezvikafu zvakawanda kwakatanga kutenderera. Nguva yeKisimusi yaive, munzira yemamiriro ekunze, zvese izvo Eva yeKisimusi anofanira kunge ari.

Ndakabhadhariswa kuti ndionekwe pakacherwa kunze kwechinguva chechina chemaira kuruboshwe manheru acho kuti ndive nechinhu chakakosha mumanheru emanheru - kwete zvakanyanya anodheerera naMaconochie nezvenguva dzose. Bhodhoro rewaini tsvuku uye medley yezvinhu zvemarata kubva kumba zvinotumirwa vasipo. Zuva racho raive rakasununguka zvachose kubva kumakomba, uye neimwe nzira isu tese takanzwa kuti maBoches, zvakare, aida kunyarara. Paive nemhando yemanzwiro asingaonekwe, asingabatike achiwedzera pamusoro pechando chakazara nechando pakati pemitsetse miviri, iyo yaiti "Uyu ndiwo musi weKisimusi kwatiri tose--chinhu Zvakafanana."

Panenge 10 masikati ndakaita kuti ndibudise kubva pakusununguka kwakasununguka kune kuruboshwe rwemutsara wedu ndokudzokera kumusha wangu. Pandakasvika pandinenge ndiri mugero ndakawana mazana evarume vakamira, uye vose vakafara zvikuru. Ikoko kwakanga kune rwiyo runokosha rwekuimba uye achitaura achienderera mberi, majee uye jibes paKisimusi yedu yekare yeKisimusi, sezvo yakasiyana neipi yekare yekare, yaiva yakakura mumhepo. Mumwe wevarume vangu akatendeukira kwandiri ndokuti:

"Unogona 'kunzwa' em zvakajeka, changamire!"

"Unonzwa chii?" Ndakabvunza.

“MaGerman uko, changamire; 'nzeve' em singin 'uye playin' pane bhendi kana somethin '. ”

Ndakateerera; -kubva kune imwe nyika, pakati pemvuri misiri yapfuura, ndainzwa kugunun'una kwemanzwi, uye imwe nguva yaiputika rwiyo rusinganzwisisiki rwaizouya ruchiyerera kunze kwemhepo inotonhora. Kuimba kwakaratidzika kunge kwakanyanya uye kwakasiyana chaizvo kune kurudyi kwedu. Ndakapinda mukati mangu ndakachera uye ndakawana mutungamiri weplatoni.

"Unonzwa maBoches achikwenya rheketi uko?" Ndati.

"Hongu," akapindura; “Vave nenguva vachizviita!”

"Huyai," ndakadaro, "ngatiendei nomugoronga unoenda kuruzhowa rwuri kurudyi — ndiyo nzvimbo iri pedyo navo, uko."

Saka takadzedzereka tichitevedza gomba redu raive rakaomarara, rine chando, uye tichikwenya kuenda kubhangi riri pamusoro, takapfuura nemumunda tichienda kune rimwe goronga redu kurudyi. Munhu wese aiteerera. Yakagadziriswa Boche bhendi yaive ichiridza yakanetsa vhezheni ye "Deutschland, Deutschland, uber Alles," pakupedzisa kwayo, vamwe vedu nyanzvi dzemuromo-nhengo vakatsiva nemaburi enziyo dzenguva yenguva uye kutevedzera kwetune yechiGerman. Pakarepo takanzwa kushevedzera kushevedzera kubva kune rimwe divi. Tese takamira kuti titeerere. Mhere yakauya zvakare. Izwi murima rakadanidzira neChirungu, nezwi rakasimba reGerman, "Huya kuno!" Ruzha rwemufaro rwakatsvaira pamusoro pemigero yedu, ichiteverwa nekupopota kwehunhu hwemuromo uye kuseka. Parizvino, takadzikama, mumwe wemasajeni edu akadzokorora chikumbiro, "Huya kuno!"

"Unouya nepakati-ini ndinouya pakati-nepakati," yakayangarara kubva murima.

"Huyai ipapo!" vakadanidzira sajeni. "Ndiri kuuya neruzhowa!"

“Ah! asi muri vaviri, ”rakadzoka izwi rikabva kune rimwe divi.

Zvakanaka, zvisinei, mushure mekunyunyuta kwekunyunyuta nekunyadziswa kunobva kumativi maviri, sergeant yedu yakaenda parusvingo rwakaenderera kumaodzanyemba kusvika kumiganhu miviri yematanda. Akakurumidza kuonekwa; asi, sezvo isu tose taiteerera mukunyarara, takakurumidza kunzwa kutaurirana kwepasmodic kuitika kunze uko murima.

Parizvino, sajeni vakadzoka. Aive aine fodya fodya yechiGerman nemidzanga yaakange achinjana maMaconochie netini yeCapstan, yaakange aenda nayo. Musangano uyu wakange wapera, asi waive wangopa kubata kunodiwa paNguva yeKisimusi yedu — chimwe chinhu munhu mudiki uye asiri echinyakare.

Mushure mekunge mwedzi yakawanda yekudzivirira kuvhara uye kuburitsa, chiitiko ichi chiduku chakauya sechinhu chinokurudzira, uye rupo ruregerero kune zuva nezuva rekutsamwa kwekurwisana. Haana kuderedza kushingaira kwedu kana kutsunga; asi kungoisa zvishoma pfupiso yevanhu muhupenyu hwedu hwekuvada uye kunonyorova. Nenguva yakarurama, zvakare-Krisimasi Evha! Asi, sechiitiko chekuziva, ichi chakanga chisingaenzaniswi nematambudziko edu pazuva rakatevera.

PaMusi weKrisimasi ndakamuka mangwanani-ngwanani, uye ndakabuda kubva kumakumbo angu kuenda mumugero. Yaiva zuva rakakwana. Aive akanaka, asina gore bhurenga denga. Ivhu rakaoma uye rakachena, richienda kune huni mumhute mutsvuku. Yaiva zuva rakadaro seinogara richiratidzwa nevashambadziri pamakadhi eKrisimasi-yakanaka yeKrisimasi Musi wezvinyorwa.

"Farirai ruvengo urwu, hondo, uye kusagadzikana pazuva rakadai!" Ndakafunga ndega. Mweya wese weKisimusi wakaratidzika kunge uripo, zvekuti ndinorangarira ndichifunga, "Ichi chinhu chisingatsanangurike mudenga, ichi Runyararo nekunzwa kwakanaka, zvirokwazvo chichava nemhedzisiro pamamiriro ezvinhu nhasi!" Uye ini ndakanga ndisina kukanganisa zvakanyanya; zvakatikomberedza, zvakadaro, uye ini ndagara ndichifara zvikuru kufunga nezverombo rangu, kutanga, ndiri mumatanho paZuva reKisimusi, uye, chechipiri, ndiri panzvimbo pakamboitika chikamu chidiki chakasiyana.

Zvese zvaitaridzika kunge zvinofara uye zvinopenya mangwanani iwayo - kusagadzikana kwaiita kunge kushoma, neimwe nzira; ivo vaitaridzika kunge vakazvionesa pachavo mukutonhora kwakanyanya, kwechando. Yaingova chete zuva rekuti Runyararo riziviswe. Ingadai yakagadzira yakanaka yakanaka yekupedzisira. Ini ndaifanirwa kunge ndakangoerekana ndanzwa sairini hombe ichiridza. Wese munhu anomira oti, "Chii ichocho?" Siren ichivhuvhuta zvakare: kutaridzika kwechimiro chidiki chinomhanya nepakati pevhu rakagwamba nechando chichi zunzira chimwe chinhu. Anoswedera pedyo — mukomana weteregirafu ane waya! Anonditambidza. Neminwe inodedera ndinoivhura: "Hondo kurwa, dzokera kumba.-George, RI" Mufaro! Asi kwete, raive zuva rakanaka, rakanaka, ndizvozvo.

Kufamba-famba negorisi chinguva chiduku, tichikurukurirana nyaya inofadza yeusiku hwakatangira, isu takangoerekana taziva nezvekuti taive kuona humwe huzhinji hunopupu hwevaGermany. Misoro yakanga ichiderera pamusoro uye ichiratidzira pamusoro pemapapiro avo nenzira isingareveki, uye, patakatarisa, chiitiko ichi chakanyanya kuwedzerwa.

Iyo yakazara Boche chimiro yakangoerekana yaonekwa pane parapeti, uye yakatarisa nezvayo pachayo. Kunyunyuta uku kwakava kunotapukira. Hazvina kutora "Bert Wedu" kureba kuti ave kumusoro mudenga (ndeimwe yakareba kukuya kuti ambomubvisa pairi). Ichi chaive chiratidzo chekuti mamwe maBoche anatomy aburitswe, uye izvi zvakapindurwa nevese vedu vaAlf naBill, kudzamara, munguva shoma kupfuura inotora kutaura, hafu yegumi nembiri kana imwe yeva belligerents vaive kunze kwezvimedu zvavo uye vakanga vachifambidzana kune mumwe nemumwe munyika isina-murume.

Chinhu chinoshamisa, zvechokwadi!

Ini ndakapenya uye pamusoro pemapapiro edu, ndokubva ndaenda kuminda kuti ndione. Ndakapfeka muchitsiko chine matope chekiki uye ndikapfekedza shangu yemakwai uye helmet yaBalaclava, ndakabatana neboka rinenge hafu yemugwagwa kuenda kumigero yeGermany.

Izvo zvose zvainzwa zvakanyanya kuziva: pano panga pane masikisi-kudya masava, avo vakanga vasarudza kutanga ichi chisina kuchena cheEurope chikafu, uye mukuita kudaro zvakatiunza isu vose mumatope akafanana neavo ivo pachavo.

Ichi chaiva chechokwadi chekutanga chekuona kwavari vari pedo. Pano paiva-mauto chaiwo, anoshanda emauto eGermany. Kwakange kusina atomu yevenga kune rumwe rutivi zuva iroro; uye zvakadaro, kurutivi rwedu, kwete kwechinguva chaiva chido chehondo uye chido chokuvarova vakasununguka. Yakanga yakafanana neyenguva pakati pemakwikwi muushamwari hwebhokisi. Kusiyana kwechimiro pakati pevarume vedu nevana vavo kwakanyatsozivikanwa. Ikoko kwakanga kusina kusiyanisa mweya wemapato maviri. Varume vedu, muzvokudya zvavo zvakasvibiswa zvetsvina, dhaka khaki, nemapapiro avo akasiyana-siyana akashongedzwa zvishongo zvehoolen helmets, mufflers uye nenguvo dzakarohwa, dzaive nemwoyo wakachena, wakasununguka, unovhenganisa zvinopesana nezvisingaenzaniswi nemaitiro asina kunaka uye stolid maonero eHuns mu vhudzi ravo remavara-ruvara rwakasvibirira, mabheti, nehombodo-pie zvipfeko.

Mhedziso shomanana yandinogona kupa kubva pakufunga kwandaiva nako ndeyekuti varume vedu, vakakurumbira, kuparadzaniswa, zvakanyanya frank, uye zvinhu zvinodiwa, zvaive pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvisingatauriki, zvisingafungidziri zvezvinhu zvakatsauka zvinokurudzirwa sechimwe chezvinhu zvisingafadzi asi zvinokanganisa zvitsime akamuka kuti pakupedzisira apwanwe.

"Tarisa iyeye uko, Bill," Bert wedu aigona kudaro, sezvaainongedzera imwe inhengo yekuda kuziva yepati.

Ndakafamba-famba pakati pavo vese, uye ndakayamwa mumaonero akawanda sezvandaigona. Vaviri kana vatatu vemaBoches airatidzika kunge ainyanya kufarira ini, uye mushure mekunge vafamba vachinditenderedza kamwe chete kana kaviri vaine shungu dzekuda kuziva dzakadhindwa kumeso kwavo, mumwe akauya ndokuti "Offizier?" Ndakagutsirira musoro wangu, zvinoreva kuti “Hongu” mumitauro yakawanda, uyezve, handikwanise kutaura chiGerman.

Aya madhimoni, ini ndaigona kuona, vose vaida kushamwaridzana; asi hapana mumwe wavo akanga ane ruzivo rwakasununguka, rwechokwadi rwevarume vedu. Zvisinei, munhu wese aive achitaura uye kuseka, uye nekuyeuchidza kushambadzira.

Ndakaona mumwe mukuru weGermany, mumwe mutauriri wenhema wandinofanira kufungidzira, uye kunge ndiri muduku wevatori, ndakamuudza kuti ndakanga ndatora zvido zveimwe mabhatani ake.

Isu tose taitaura zvinhu kune umwe neumwe izvo zvisinganzwisisi, uye vakabvuma kuita shanduko. Ndakabudisa makanda angu ematare uye, nechinguva chiduku, ndakabvisa mabhodhi ake maviri ndoaisa muhomwe yangu. Ndakabva ndamupa mbiri yangu panjodzi.

Kunyange zvazvo izvi zvaiitika pamusoro pekunyunyuta kwemajasture ejaculations anobva kune mumwe wevarume-schifters, akandiudza kuti imwe pfungwa yakaitika kune mumwe munhu.

Nenguva isipi, imwe yeBhoche yakadzokera kumugero wake uye ikozvino inowanikwa nekamera huru. Ndakabvunza muboka rakavhengana nemifananidzo yakawanda, uye kubvira kare ndakagara ndichida kuti ndanga ndakagadzirira urongwa hwekuwana kopi. Hapana mubvunzo kuti rakagadziridzwa shanduro yemufananidzo iyi inofungidzira pane dzimwe hurumende dzeHun, dzichiratidza zvakajeka uye pachena kuti dzinokurudzira vanhu vanokanganisa kuti boka reChirungu rinonyengera rakapa sei zvisingaverengeki musi weKrisimasi kune vakashinga ve Deutschers.

Zvishoma nezvishoma musangano wakatanga kupararira; rudzi rwekunzwa kuti zviremera pamativi ose maviri zvakanga zvisina kufarira zvikuru pamusoro pekubatanidza uku kwakaratidzika kunopinda mumusangano uyu. Takaparadzana, asi pakanga pane kunzwisisa kwakasiyana uye kwakabatana kuti zuva reKrisimasi raizosiyiwa kuti ripedze murugare. Ikupedzisira ndakaona nezvechiitiko ichi chiduku chaiva chiratidzo cheumwe wemapurisa wangu, uyo akanga ari muchengeti wemuchengetedzi mumusana wehupenyu hwevanhu, achicheka bvudzi refu risina kuchena reBoche rakashandura, uyo ainge akangwara akawira pasi pasi achitsvaga Nzvimbo dzakasvibira dzakasara kumutsipa wemutsipa wake.
