Suddenly, German tanks broke through from the rear, but the young soldier did not lose his head and, having found an anti-tank rifle in the trench, destroyed two enemy tanks.
After the battle, Skvortsov was summoned to the general, who personally decided to thank Alexei for his courage. The general promised to present Skvortsov with a high award, but the soldier unexpectedly asked the general to let him go visit his mother for a couple of days instead of an award.
The general liked this modest fighter, and, being in a good mood, he became generous, giving Alexei six days of leave instead of two: four days for travel and two days for leave at home.
But Alexey's journey home took much longer. On the way, the sympathetic guy could not pass by someone else's grief and, forgetting about his own problems for a while, hurries to help people. In the end, instead of the two days of the expected visit, Alexey gets home for only a few minutes.
Saying goodbye to his mother after a short meeting, Alexei promises her that he will definitely return, but this promise was not destined to come true. And his mother, remembering Alexei's promise, still goes to the road from where she once saw her son off to the front...
