Asiya looked at Sokov intently, tears welling up in her eyes, and her chest heaved violently with excitement. As soon as Sokov finished speaking, she shouted "Misha" and then threw herself on her face.
She entered Sokov's arms and hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, her husband would disappear without a trace.
"Comrades," seeing the scene where Sokov and Asya reunited, Belkin coughed heavily and said to the other people in the room: "Let's all go out to smoke a cigarette, and let the brigade commander and Asya
Let's have a good time catching up with Thea." After saying that, Belkin stood up and took the lead to walk outside. Naturally, the other commanders would not object to Belkin's proposal, and they also left their positions one after another and followed.
Belkin walked out of the command post.
In an instant, only Sokov and Asiya were left in the whole room. Sokov gently patted Asiya's back with his hand and asked softly: "Asiya, what are you doing?"
Will it be here?"
Asiya raised her head, looked at Sokov with tearful eyes, and asked: "Misha, is it really you? Am I not dreaming?"
"Dear Asiya, of course it's not a dream." Sokov raised his right hand, gently wiped away the tears on Asiya's face, and said to her: "It's really me in front of you."
"But, but..." Although Asiya felt the warmth on Sokov's fingers, she was still worried that she was dreaming, so she asked hesitantly: "I heard that your troops were surrounded by the Germans in Orlo."
Fuka, the troops who tried to rescue you were repelled by the enemy...How did you escape?"
According to Asiya's experience, if an army is trapped in a German encirclement and cannot be rescued by reinforcements, the only way to escape is to break up into pieces and break out, and only those who can escape will be counted. She cannot help but feel that
I suspect that if Sokov reappeared here, he must have broken out in disguise, or he might have abandoned his troops and escaped alone.
Sokov was also a smart man. He couldn't hear what Asiya was saying, so he smiled and said, "Asiya, do you think I'm the kind of person who abandons his troops and runs away alone?"
"No, it's not like that." Asiya shook her head, still saying in a skeptical tone: "But why did I only see you and Colonel Bely, and what about the others? They were all sacrificed somewhere, right?
"
"Vanya's battalion suffered particularly heavy casualties in this battle. There are only more than a hundred people left in the whole battalion." Sokov said to Asya: "They are now fighting with Samoilov's guards.
The platoon is at the riverside to meet the troops crossing the river, and it will probably not take long for them to arrive."
Speaking of this, Sokov suddenly remembered that Asya came here with Bely, and asked curiously: "Asya, how come you appeared with Colonel Bely? Also, he didn't bring our nearest
Does experience tell you?”
"No." Asiya shook her head again and said, "When I was taking care of the wounded, Captain Briskey came over and called me, saying that you had returned safely and wanted to bring me here to see you. But what are your details?
How he escaped from danger, he doesn’t know the specific situation.”
Sokov held Asiya's hand, came to the table and sat down, told her his experience during this period in detail, and finally said to her apologetically: "Asiya, I'm so sorry.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, we did not report it to anyone before our breakout, and as a result, you were worried about me."
Asiya is also a soldier herself, so she naturally understands how important confidentiality is in battle, and she quickly said reasonably: "Misha, you did the right thing. If you had reported the breakout route to your superiors before breaking out,
, Firstly, the secret may be leaked, and secondly, the breakout plan will be rejected by the superiors. After all, breaking out to the north is too risky."
Although the two were separated for only a few days, it felt like a century to Asiya. When she could see Sokov, she wanted to say all the words she had been holding back in her heart in one breath.
After an unknown amount of time, Sokov accidentally caught a glimpse of many people standing at the door, including Vanya and Samoilov, who were on guard duty by the river. They might be worried about disturbing the relationship between Sokov and Asya.
After a heart-to-heart talk, they all stood quietly outside the door and waited.
When Sokov saw Vanya coming, he guessed that the troops might have finished crossing the river. Although he still had a lot to say to Asiya, he considered that he had summoned the commanders here to rearrange the horses.
He couldn't miss the important matter of the defense of Mayef Gang because of the love between his children. Thinking of this, he quickly said to Asiya: "Asiya, it's getting late. You should go back to the health team to rest first. I'll return it."
I have to assign tasks to my comrades."
Asiya turned to look at the door and saw that there were people standing outside. She immediately realized that if she continued to stay here, it would affect her husband's work. She quickly raised her hand to wipe away the remaining tears on her cheeks and asked Soko in a low voice.
Husband: “Misha, am I ugly now?”
"It's not ugly," Sokov shook his head and replied with a smile: "My dear wife always looks the most beautiful."
"Disgusting!" Asiya tapped Sokov lightly on the shoulder twice with her fist, then stood up and said, "You have other things to do, so I'll go back to the health team first."
"I send you!"
"No, I'll go by myself." Asiya glanced at the commanders standing outside the door, blushed and said, "Comrades will laugh at me if they see this."
"I want to see which one of them should laugh at you." Sokov stood up and took Asiya's hand and walked towards the door: "I'll take you back to the health team."
When Sokov held Asiya's hand and came to the door, he saw that the commanders outside the door were paying attention to him, so he coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said: "Comrades, you go in first.
Well, I will send Asiya back to the health team and come back to assign tasks to you."
When the commanders standing at the door heard what Sokov said, they quickly agreed loudly, and then made way for the two of them to pass through first. "Let's go, Asiya!" Seeing everyone's excitement,
After giving way to the road, Sokov said to Asiya and then walked slowly through the wall of people lined up by the commanders.
After Belkin waited for Sokov and Asya to go away, he announced loudly to the commanders who had been waiting outside the door for a long time: "Comrade commanders, everyone go inside and wait for the brigade.
I can assign you tasks when you grow back."
Belkin's words were like an order to attack to everyone. In an instant, the commanders crowded in the corridor filed into the headquarters.
