... One night, the commander of the 2nd Brigade V. I. Roslov called me on the phone. We knew each other well, because together we served in the tsarist army during the First World War. Roslov reported to me that he had only six rounds left for each shooter, and therefore he could not complete the task set by the division head and move the soldiers to obvious death.

- The task to complete! For failure to comply with the order of the chief 27 answer with your own head! I’m going to you — such was my answer to Roslov. ... ..

... So the front-line workers thought. The commander of the 2nd brigade of the 27th division V.I. Roslov told me:

“I am a former officer.” All his conscious life is military. I have no other specialty besides the military; I don’t know what I will do when we end the world bourgeoisie. After all, then there will be eternal peace on earth, there will be no army, no wars, everyone will be engaged in peaceful work. I'll have to become an accountant or something.

“Wait, Vasily Ivanovich, to dream about it,” I told him, “it’s too early.” Let us first defeat Kolchak, throw the British, Americans, Japanese into the sea, put an end to Denikin and other generals. First, we will clear the Soviet land of the White Guard and foreign evil spirits, and there we will see what needs to be done next. Do not rush to become an accountant. Think better about organizing a crushing blow against whites in the area of ​​your brigade.
