There are battles with the Nazis in the Mozdok steppe. The main character of the work is an 18-year-old mortar man. He had already been in the army for a month and was on the front line for the 2nd day. He was carrying an important package to the commander, although he did not know where it was. If the soldier does not follow orders, he will be shot.

Suddenly, someone drags him into a trench. They explain to him that there were German troops about 100 meters away. The soldiers take the mortar man to the commander, who reads a report. He tells the hero’s commander not to send any more reports like this.

The protagonist dreams of going back, having tea and reporting on the execution of the order. He recalls his comrades-in-arms, talks about the life of the regiment and his battle comrades. Nina, a pretty communications woman, used to come to the regiment. One day she appeared together with another one. There was an explosion of an exploded mine and the girls fell down. Nina managed to get up, but the other one died.
