But the Soviet soldier contrived and threw the enemy to the floor. The fight continued with mixed success. For some time, the enemy prevailed and began to strangle the artilleryman. You can read more about this tense moment by reading the original, that is, the full content. “One Night” (V. Bykov) is an ambiguous work. In a short time, two people from irreconcilable enemies turned into comrades, but then again became opponents.
For now there is a fight between two people.Ivan was stronger, he was strangling a German and he was already wheezing, but at that moment a shell exploded at the top. Voloka released the enemy, as debris fell down on them, dust and basement floors collapsed.
All this was described by the author in the first chapter of his story, which gave the name of the Bulls "One Night". Summary, following the plot, goes to the second chapter.
Voloka, waking up, felt that his bodyshackled, - it piled up with gravel and sand. Freed, he began to look for a way out of the basement, but because of the explosion, he was overwhelmed with stone fragments and bricks. Ivan tried to push the heavy plate, but he did not succeed.
Voloka was sure that the German was no longer alive, butSuddenly I saw the frightened eyes of the enemy, which was covered with rubble. These are the conditions in which Vasil Bykov, the main characters of the story, settled. One night is a short time, during which each of them will be able to understand that the second - the same person as he is - is not at all bad.
At first, Ivan wanted to kill the enemy, as he had dealt with three Germans at various times. But he could not shoot at the lying helpless man.
The German moaned, a concrete slab clamped over his legs.Ivan felt sorry for the enemy, and he had difficulty, but removed this burden from him. What does the Bulls (“One night”) then talk about in his work? A summary of the next episode follows.
The German sat down and began to inspect his damagedleg, blood was flowing from it. He put his handkerchief, but he quickly got wet. Then Voloka gave him his dressing bag. The enemy smiled at Ivan and thanked him in his own language.
While the German was bandaging his leg, Ivan examined it.He was a middle-aged man with balding hair, wrinkles, stubble. He looked at the savior, but for a long time they could not look at each other, since the battle began again at the top, it was necessary to get out of the trap. This ends the second chapter of his work Bulls - "One Night." The summary of this story is continued further.
Иван попытался отодвинуть верхнюю плиту, чтобы get out of the basement, but one was not able to do it. Then a German came to the rescue, and they tried to do it together, but they could not. But Voloka heard that German knows a little Russian. He explained that he was taught this by a Russian girl.
Потом Иван поделился с новым приятелем табаком, they both lit up and met. The German name was Fritz Hageman, he was also a carpenter, like the Soviet soldier. This rallied the prisoners, there was another common topic for conversation.
Now Ivan no longer had hatred for the German. He understood - the same person as he. Fritz showed his companion in misfortune a photograph where he could see his beautiful house, his wife and three children.
Voloka offered Hageman to surrender whenthey will get out, but he refused. He said that they could kill him in the camp, that he did not want to go to Siberia. But Fritz condemned the war and Hitler, who began this bloodshed.
Voloka said that he was from a collective farm and began to dissuade the German that he lives poorly. Then the men again tried to disassemble the blockage, but a heavy piece fell on Voloka.
The concrete block strongly crushed the soldier.In oblivion, it seemed to him that he was lying with his bare back on a thorny stubble and that a sow thistle was stuck into his body. He also wanted to drink and someone gave the soldier life-giving moisture. It was Fritz who watered Ivan.
Но через какое-то время Волока вновь впал в oblivion or fell asleep. When he came to himself, he felt that there was a pleasant wet bandage on his forehead. This Hageman took care of his companion in misfortune. Ivan rose.
After that, they found an opening in the ceiling and got out.out. Suddenly, Ivan heard the German language - his fellow soldiers called Fritz. He ran to them. Ivan shouted to Hageman, but he did not stop. Then Voloka gave an automatic queue for him, as the author writes, due to the fact that Ivan did not want to “give up this man’s enemies”. Fritz had no choice, he threw a grenade at a recent friend, who fell, but managed to pull the trigger of the machine gun. The German fell dead.
Voloka survived and ran to his.This ends his story Bulls. "One night" can be briefly retold that way.
