"I came here to visit a colleague who is hospitalized, and I happened to meet Asiya." Agelina replied, "I heard that you were hospitalized here, so I stopped by to take a look."
Asiya came over with a cup of hot tea and handed it to Agelina: "Agelina, if you are not in a hurry to leave, can you chat with Misha? He has been lying in bed all day.
I’m so suffocated.”
"I have nothing urgent." Agelina had a good relationship with Sokov. Seeing that he was hospitalized here, she was particularly worried about his injury. How could he leave after just chatting for a few words? She was worried that she could not find a reason.
After sitting there for a while, when he heard Asiya's words, he said smoothly: "Okay, I'll stay and chat with Misha for a while."
"Agelina, can you tell me and Asiya your story behind enemy lines?" Sokov was worried that Agelina would be embarrassed, and emphasized: "Of course, you only need to tell us those that do not involve confidentiality.
Is that okay?"
In response to Sokov's request, Agelina hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "Okay, Misha, since you can live here, you must have high confidentiality rights, I can
Let me tell you some of my stories behind enemy lines."
Vera, who was busy in the room, heard what Agelina said, and stopped what she was doing and said to Asiya: "Asiya, I remembered that I still have work to do, and I need to leave for a while.
, I’ll leave it to you here.”
Asiya knew that Vera was worried that she would hear something she shouldn't hear, so she took the initiative to find a reason to leave. She didn't object, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Vera, leave the matters here to me.
Just go and get busy."
After Vera left, Asya closed the door and moved another chair to Sokov's bedside, ready to listen to Agelina tell her own story.
Seeing Asiya sitting next to her, Agelina slowly said: "I think you must really want to know how I was exposed, right?"
"That's right." Sokov nodded slightly and said, "Can you tell us the reason?"
"I just said that before the Battle of Kursk started, I had been staying in the enemy's key departments and was responsible for collecting relevant military intelligence." For reasons of confidentiality, Adelina did not tell Sokov and
Asia, which city she was in and what kind of job she was engaged in specifically: "The day after the battle started, I suddenly received an order from my superiors, saying that an important figure was wounded and captured by the Germans and was sent to
I am being treated in a military hospital in my city. My task is to find out the distribution of military guards in the hospital and provide rescuers with a detailed map of the hospital.
I followed the instructions and placed the collected hospital map and guard deployment situation at the designated location.
The next day, I heard that an important person imprisoned in the hospital had been rescued by members of an underground resistance group. The German army therefore sent a large number of manpower to hunt down the missing prisoner and the group that rescued him."
When Asiya heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Agelina, did that important person successfully escape?"
"Asiya, don't interrupt, let Agelina continue." Sokov realized that there might be something wrong with this rescue operation. He was eager to know the answer, so he stopped Asiya's inquiry and asked Agelina instead.
Jelina said: "Go on."
Agelina nodded and continued: "Among the medical staff responsible for treating important people, one of the nurses is one of our own. It was with her assistance that the rescue team rescued the important people from the hospital.
During the rescue operation, the nurse and a rescuer used pistols equipped with silencers to kill the guards responsible for guarding the important people one by one. Several guards were using the toilet at the time and were shot to death one by one by the two men in the bathroom.
But they didn't know that the officer in the guard was in the innermost cubicle of the bathroom. Hearing the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside, he realized something was wrong and quickly climbed to the top of the cubicle to avoid possible attacks.
of shooting.
The nurse and her companions would shoot at the cubicle door, and then kick the door open to see if the people inside were still alive. Anyone who was not dead would be shot one or two more times. When they opened the door to the last cubicle,
After shooting at the door of the room, they were about to break in when they heard the retreat signal from outside. In desperation, they hurriedly evacuated the bathroom without having time to check the last cubicle.
The surviving officer happened to see through the crack in the door that the person who shot outside was a nurse he knew. After the nurse and others left the bathroom, he hurriedly came out to report the news. Because the nurse did not know his identity.
He was already exposed, so he continued to stay in the hospital, but was caught by the officer."
Asiya let out a surprised sound, and then asked impatiently: "After the nurse was arrested, did you confess your rescue operation?"
"At the beginning, the nurse acted very tenaciously. No matter how the Germans tortured her, she insisted that she had no knowledge." Agelina said expressionlessly: "But then the Germans took her child to her
In front of her, he said that if she did not confess, he would kill her child in front of her.
In this case, the nurse chose to compromise. Not only did she tell the other members of the hospital, she even reported to the Germans one by one the locations where the rescue team would stay after escaping. In this way, the Germans
According to the information she provided, she first arrested all the members of the underground resistance organization in the hospital, and also sent elite troops to intercept the members of the rescue team."
"What happened in the end?" Asia asked.
"What else can we do?" Agelina replied with a wry smile: "The members of the rescue team and the important people they rescued were all captured by the Germans at the second stop.
Among the captured resistance members in the hospital, some could not stand the torture of the Germans and confessed everything they knew. As a result, almost all the underground resistance members in the city were arrested. As for me,
Before the Germans captured me, I got the transfer order from my superiors and got out of danger in time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me today."
"That's right." Sokov agreed very much with Agelina's statement: "As long as it falls into the hands of the Germans, especially the hands of the Gestapo, the chance of coming out alive is negligibly low.
Yes. By the way, which route did you take to escape?"
"I knew that the resting points on the transfer route were all controlled by the Germans. If I appeared in those places, I would be falling into a trap, so I first turned around and headed west..."
"Why are you going west?" Asiya asked puzzledly: "Isn't that territory controlled by the Germans? If you go in that direction, you can easily fall into the hands of the Germans."
"Asia, that's not what you said." Sokov said: "Sometimes the most dangerous places are often the safest. The Germans feel that a person who is eager to escape will not hide in these places, so in
When raids are conducted, these areas are ignored."
"Yes, Misha, you are right." Agelina nodded and agreed with Sokov's statement: "If I had walked east after escaping, I would have been able to escape in the shortest time.
Return to our own side. But the Germans can also think of this. They will continue to chase me along this road, which will increase the chance of my arrest.
Going west was far beyond the enemy's expectations. They would never have imagined that I would choose this route to escape, so that I would not set up roadblocks along the way. Although I went in a big circle, in the end I
Returned to Moscow successfully."
Although the story Agelina told sounded ordinary, Sokov knew very well in his heart how dangerous it was at that time. If he was not careful, Agelina would fall into an irreversible situation: "Thank God,
You are so lucky, and being able to come back safely is better than anything else."
"Yes," Agelina agreed with Sokov's statement: "Compared with those comrades who sacrificed their lives, I am really lucky."
Once we have a topic, the conversation will naturally become very interesting, and a few hours will pass before you know it.
Vera, who made excuses to avoid it, thought Agelina had already left. When she opened the door and came in, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she found that Agelina was still there.
Asiya heard the sound of the door opening, turned to look towards the door, saw Vera standing at the door, and asked with a smile: "Vera, what can I do?"
"That's right, Asia." Vera replied with some difficulty: "It's dinner time now. Shouldn't someone bring Comrade General's dinner?"
"Ah, it's already so late." Agelina raised her hand to look at her watch, stood up and said to Sokov: "Misha, it's getting late. I'll come see you another day. You have a good rest."
"Agelina, since it's already dinner time, why not eat here and then go back." Asiya was worried that Agelina would have missed her meal when she returned to the work canteen, so she tried her best to persuade her to stay: "Said
Maybe when you go back, the canteen will have finished working."
Although Adelina had just returned to Moscow not long ago, she knew very well that the city was now implementing a rationing system. Sokov and Asya's daily meals were rationed. If she stayed, the other's share would be
It will decrease. So she shook her head and politely rejected Asiya's kindness: "Asiya, thank you for your kindness. I think I should go back and try my luck. Maybe the canteen staff haven't gotten off work yet.
.”
Only Sokov, who was lying on the bed, understood the reason why Agelina didn't want to stay. He smiled and said: "Agelina, are you worried that if you stay for dinner, Assy and I will be left behind?"
Will Ya’s share be reduced?”
Agelina's face turned red when Sokov guessed what she was thinking. She didn't know how to reply to Sokov for a while.
"Agelina," Asiya held Agelina's watch and asked with interest, "Is Misha's guess correct?" Without waiting for the other party to speak, she continued, "Don't worry,
Misha is hospitalized here and enjoys special treatment, and his daily meals are not affected by the ration."
In order to prove that what she said was true, she turned to Vera who was standing by the door and said: "Vera, can you tell my friend Agelina whether Misha's food here is unlimited?"
"That's right, Asia." Vera nodded and said, "Since Comrade General is someone who has received special care from his superiors, there are no restrictions on his food. As long as he is willing, even if he is in the ward every day
All guests at the banquet are welcome.”
After hearing the same words from Asiya and Vera, Agelina put aside her worries, nodded and said, "Okay, Misha, Asiya, then I will stay and eat with you.
"
Seeing that Agelina was willing to stay, Asiya was the happiest person. She quickly turned around and told Vera: "Vera, please hurry up and prepare a dinner for three people. Misha and I are going to invite Agelina."
Have a good meal."
A few minutes later, Vera entered the ward pushing the dining cart.
Agelina took a look at the food on the dining cart. Although it could not be compared with what she had eaten before the war, it was much richer than her usual meals. Not only was there steaming red cabbage soup on the cart, there were even barbecues and grilled meats.
Potatoes are a rare food these days.
Asiya and Vera moved a small table next to the hospital bed, and then placed all the food on the cart on the table. After doing all this, Vera pushed the cart and left.
"Vera." Seeing that Vera was about to leave, Asiya specifically stopped her and said, "You can also stay and eat some."
"No, Asiya." Perhaps because the presence of outsiders made Vera feel uncomfortable, she politely declined Asiya's kindness: "I'll just go to the kitchen and have something to eat. You can use it slowly."
"
Sokov's hands were still unable to move, so Asiya had to do it for him when he wanted to eat. Asiya fed Sokov and asked Agelina curiously: "Agelina, what are you doing?"
Will you stay in Moscow from now on?"
"It's hard to say." Agelina shook her head and said, "I am only temporarily working in Lubyanka. Where I go in the future depends on the arrangements of my superiors."
"Actually, it's good to stay in Moscow, so that we have more opportunities to meet in the future." Asia complained, "I haven't gone home to see my parents for more than a year."
This was the first time Agelina heard Asiya mention her parents, and she couldn't help but curiously asked: "Asiya, which city are your parents in?"
"It's in the town of Khimki in Moscow." When Asya said this, her pretty face blushed slightly: "I am the Misha I met during the battle to defend Khimki." When she said this, she couldn't help but
He turned to look at Sokov.
This sight immediately startled her. When she was feeding Sokov a baked potato, she was busy talking to Agelina. As a result, the salad in the potato got Sokov's face confused. She quickly picked it up and put it on the table.
He wiped Sokov's face with a towel and said apologetically: "Misha, I'm sorry, I was too careless and caused salad all over your face."
"It's okay." Sokov naturally didn't care about these small things. He smiled and said to Asiya: "My face also wants to taste the taste of this salad. You just satisfied their curiosity."
Watching the banter between Sokov and Asiya, Agelina, who was sitting aside, suddenly felt a little sour in her heart. The delicious food in front of her suddenly became tasteless. However, she did not write down her disappointment in
On the contrary, he tried his best to put on a smile and said to the two of them with envy: "Misha, Asiya, you two are so in love."
