"Comrade General, the army nurse Sonia is reporting to you. I am following your orders. Please give me instructions!"
Yakov, who was looking at a map at his desk, heard a familiar voice in the room. He immediately raised his head and saw the Sonia he knew. She was wearing a new military uniform without a military rank and a boat-shaped hat.
, raised his right hand to his forehead and saluted Yakov solemnly.
"Sonia, it's really you." Yakov stood up straight and walked towards the other party, and asked curiously: "How did you get here?"
"My superiors said that a large number of medical staff are needed on the front line, so they solicited volunteers from the hospital. I felt that I might be able to play a greater role on the front line, so I took the initiative to sign up."
Yakov took Sonia's hand and came to sit down at the table. After pouring her a cup of tea, he continued to ask: "Sonia, I find it very strange. Even if your hospital allocates manpower to support the field hospital on the front line, 伱
They should also go to the 1st Far East Front or the 2nd Far East Front, but why did they come to our Transbaikal Front?"
Faced with Yakov's question, Sonia took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table and explained to him: "Do you remember the general who lives in our hospital? It's the one you saw in the hospital.
He's... No, no, he shouldn't be called a general, but a marshal, Marshal Chernyakhovsky. This is all his arrangement."
"Sonia, are you saying that the reason why the medical team formed by your hospital appears here is because of Marshal Chernyakhovsky?"
"That's right." Sonia nodded vigorously and replied: "He said that the medical strength of the First and Second Far Eastern Fronts is sufficient, but due to the vast combat area of the Transbaikal Front, once the manpower of the field hospital is dispersed, the strength will change.
We are weak, so we took it upon ourselves to send us here."
"Oh, when did you set off?"
"Yesterday morning." Sonia replied: "Marshal Chernyakhovsky personally arranged a plane for us to fly us here. We first arrived at the front headquarters, where the commander, Marshal Malinovsky,
He said that your group army suffered heavy casualties and needed a large number of medical staff, so we were sent here."
"It's hundreds of kilometers from the front army headquarters to here. It's quite a hard ride by car."
"General Zakharov, the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, said that the journey was too far. If we took a car, we would probably spend a day or two on the road, so he also arranged a plane for us. After we got off the plane, we took the
The vehicle provided by the airport is here."
"So that's what happened." Yakov nodded after hearing this and said to Sonia: "I have ordered people to arrange accommodation for your colleagues. After daybreak, I will send people to take you to the group army field hospital.
"
Sonia nodded, looked around, and asked, "Yasha, is the general in the wheelchair here too?"
"You mean Lieutenant General Lu Jin, right?" Since the Far East Campaign has begun, there is no need to keep many things secret before the war. He told Sonia truthfully: "He is the deputy commander of the group army and has gone back to rest at the moment.
If you want to see him, you can only wait until after dawn."
"By the way, where is Major Matevosyan?" Sonia continued to ask: "Is he here too?"
"Of course." Yakov nodded and said, "He is also here. If you are interested, I can arrange for you to meet him."
"Forget it, there's no need." Unexpectedly, Sonia waved her hand and said, "I'm just asking casually. I'm not interested in him. It's just that a sister has a crush on him and asked me to find out before I set off.
His situation."
"I wonder which one it is?" After Sonia said a name, Yakov began to carefully recall the nurses who had dinner together, but after thinking for a long time, he could not match the person Sonia mentioned.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know who you are talking about, but I would recognize him if we met."
"Yasha, your troops are advancing so fast." Sonia said: "I originally thought that this battle would take at least half a year, but now in just the first few days, your troops have advanced one to two hundred kilometers. It's incredible.
It can be described as amazing speed."
Hearing what Sonia said, Yakov couldn't help but feel a little wary when he was proud: "Sonia, who told you this?"
"Who else, of course, is General Zakharov." Sonia explained with a smile: "When he received our medical team, he once briefed us on the progress of the front troops. At that time, I heard that you were there
The troops, I paid special attention to it."
"Oh, that's it." After listening to Sonia's explanation, Yakov put aside his doubts and said with a smile: "Actually, our group army is not advancing very fast. After all, we are the last troops to participate in the war.
To say that the unit that advanced the fastest was none other than the 6th Guards Tank Army. They once advanced 160 kilometers in one day, leaving the enemy with no ability to fight back. If they had not run out of fuel, they would not have been able to fight back.
If they don't stop and wait for supplies from the rear, they might be able to rush to the big city controlled by the Kwantung Army tomorrow."
When Yakov introduced the progress of each unit, Sonia did not speak, but listened quietly. After finally waiting for Yakov to finish, she asked tentatively: "Yasha, I wonder when your unit will be ready."
Advance to big cities?”
"Why are you asking this?"
"My home is Fengtian." Sonia said, "I have been away for more than five years. I really hope I can go back and visit soon."
"Don't be anxious, Sonia." Yakov comforted Sonia and said, "You have been waiting for five years, and you don't care if you wait a few more days. When we drive the Kwantung Army away from the city they occupied, you can be honest
Go home."
The two reunited after a long absence, so naturally they had a lot to say, so they chatted all night.
When Yakov saw the staff and communications personnel from the headquarters walking in one after another, he realized that it was already dawn.
The staff officers and communications personnel who came in saw a young female soldier chatting and laughing with the chief of staff, and couldn't help but cast curious eyes. But this curiosity only lasted for a moment, and they returned to their respective posts and began
A new day's work.
When the staff and communications personnel arrived, Sokov also walked away from the headquarters.
He did not see Sonia immediately, but said to Yakov who came up to her: "Yasha, it's dawn, you go back and rest first, leave the work here to me."
Yakov took a step to the side and said to Sokov excitedly: "Misha, who do you think this is?"
As Yakov stepped aside, Sokov saw Sonia sitting at the table. Since he had never seen Sonia in military uniform before, he did not immediately recognize Sonia and thought it was Yakov.
She looked at some friend of her husband's and asked casually: "Yasha, are you your friend?"
Yakov laughed and said: "Misha, she is not only my friend, but also your friend. You know, you knew her earlier than I did."
"My friend?" Sokov walked forward with doubts and looked at Sonia carefully. After a moment, he said in surprise: "Are you Sonia?"
Sonia was equally surprised when she saw Sokov standing in front of her. The last time they met, Sokov was still wearing the collar badge of a major, but now the three gold stars on the golden shoulder straps indicate that he is a general.
identity.
Sonia stood up in a hurry and asked Yakov with some stuttering: "Yasha, is he, is he Major Matevosyan?"
After hearing this, Yakov laughed again: "Yes, Sonia, he is the Major Matievosyan you know."
"But, but." Sonia pointed to Sokov's epaulettes and said, "But why is he wearing the rank of general? What is going on?"
"Sonia, let me explain it to you." Sokov confirmed that the female soldier wearing the new uniform in front of him was Sonia, whom he had met in Khabarovsk, and explained to her: "Before the battle broke out,
For reasons of confidentiality, I used a pseudonym and a false military rank to confuse the enemy's agents." When he said this, Sokov couldn't help but murmur to himself: I think you are like a little devil lurking in Habaro.
Fusk's agent.
"So, you are not Major Matevosyan at all, but a general?" Sonia asked in a panic.
"That's right, Sonia." Yakov introduced Sokov's true identity to Sonia: "He is the commander of our 53rd Army, General Sokov. The Major Matevosyan you knew back then was just a
It’s just his disguised identity.”
"So that's it." After Sonia learned Sokov's true identity, her eyes when she looked at him changed unconsciously: "I really didn't expect that Ma, who I met in Khabarovsk,
Major Tevosyan is actually a great general."
"I am not a great general." Sokov waved his hand and said modestly: "Really great commanders are people like Marshal Vasilevsky and Marshal Chernyakhovsky."
Before Sonia could ask again, Sokov couldn't help but curiously asked: "Sonia, I remember that you work in the military hospital in Khabarovsk, how come you are here with us?"
"Misha, this matter is a bit complicated, let me introduce it to you." So Yakov repeated to Sokov what Sonia said to him, and finally said: "
This is what happened, I plan to arrange for Sonia and her medical team to be sent to the army field hospital later."
"Okay." After hearing this, Sokov nodded and agreed to Yakov's proposal: "Although our army has made good progress since the beginning of the battle, there are still many casualties. The medical force of the group army field hospital is seriously insufficient. With them
With support, the situation could be much better.”
Just when Sokov was about to arrange manpower to send Sonia to the field hospital, Yakov took the initiative and said: "Misha, leave it to me to send Sonia to the field hospital."
"Okay, Yasha." Sokov was preparing to start a day's work. Naturally, he didn't have time to send Sonia to the field hospital. Moreover, he didn't feel that his friendship with Sonia allowed him to put down his work.
, a special trip to the field hospital.
Sonia followed Yakov out of the headquarters and got into a jeep parked on the roadside.
Yakov personally acted as the driver and drove Sonia to the field hospital.
After the jeep started, Sonia asked Yakov with a serious expression: "Yasha, do you think we are still good friends?"
"Of course." Yakov replied without hesitation: "Of course we are good friends. Why do you ask?"
"Since we are good friends, why don't you tell me Misha's true identity?"
Yakov, who was driving, did not notice the change in Sonia's face, and continued to explain: "Sonia, just now in the headquarters, Misha told you that it was for confidentiality reasons and he was not allowed to drive.
I don’t use pseudonyms and false identities. Therefore, no matter how good my relationship with you is, I can’t tell you his true identity. Now, the battle has begun, and there is no need to keep many things secret, so you will know
His true identity."
Sonia didn't speak, and turned to look out the window, feeling a little annoyed. She had met Sokov first, but she thought he was just a minor major, so she unknowingly alienated him and chose
Yakov appeared with him. But now it seems that the choice he made at the beginning was wrong. The major whom he looked down upon turned out to be a senior commander on one side.
Yakov turned his head and glanced at Sonia quickly. Seeing her looking out the window, he asked curiously: "Sonia, what are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything." Sonia heard Yakov asking herself and quickly said in a cover-up manner: "I just wanted to see the difference between Solon and Khabarovsk."
"The two cities are almost the same." Yakov said: "Except for a few two- and three-story brick-concrete buildings in the entire city, the rest are low-rise bungalows, and there are even many places where herders have built them.
Not to mention it’s incomparable to Moscow, even compared to many cities in the Northeast, it’s not on the same level.”
"Yasha." After Sonia waited for Yakov to finish speaking, she suddenly said: "I didn't come home all night last night. I was worried that the captain of the medical team was worried. Why don't you send me to the place where the medical team lives first?
After they meet up, they go directly to the field hospital, so I won't bother you to make a special trip. After all, you were on duty all night last night and now you need to go back and rest quickly."
"It's okay." Yakov didn't hear the underlying meaning of Sonia's words. He thought the other party was embarrassed, so he explained to her specifically: "Anyway, where I live is not far from the field hospital. Wait until I take you."
Send it to the place and it’s not too late to go back and rest.”
