Before leaving the division headquarters, Chernyshev also said behind Sokov: "Comrade Commander plans to return to Moscow in the near future to participate in the Women's Day celebration. He asked you to inform you that he will meet with him then.
Let’s go to Moscow together. Remember to report to the Army Headquarters early the day after tomorrow.”
"Understood, comrade division commander. I will rush to the army headquarters early the day after tomorrow." Sokov raised his hand to salute Chernyshev again, then turned around and walked out of the headquarters with Belkin.
Since Chernyshev handed over the defense of Maklaki Town to Sokov's troops, as soon as they left the division headquarters, Sokov and Belgin led the guard platoon towards the town. On the way, other people
Erkin said in an envious tone: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I really didn't expect that Comrade Commander actually asked you to go back to Moscow with him. If you are lucky, you might even be able to meet Comrade Stalin."
Sokov grinned, but did not speak. He was thinking to himself: "Why did Rokossovsky let him accompany him back to Moscow? Even if the recent battle was going well, he is a small major.
, I guess you are not qualified to participate in such a grand ceremony, right? Maybe there are more important things in this trip to Moscow, and the so-called accompanying to Moscow is just a cover to hide the truth."
Returning to the temporary command post in the church, Sokov said to Seryosha who was following him: "Seryosa, go down below and call out all the female soldiers of the health team."
The battalion health team and the wounded were all in the basement. Not long after Seryosha went down, Asya, Maria, and two other female soldiers from the health team all came out of the basement and went straight to Sokov's desk.
Thea asked on behalf of everyone: "Comrade Battalion Commander, did you call us here for something important?"
"That's it, comrades female soldiers." In front of everyone, Sokov naturally couldn't flirt with Asiya, so he stood up and said businesslikely: "In two days, it will be Women's Day.
. On behalf of all the battalion commanders and fighters, I would like to say to you: I wish you a happy holiday!" After saying that, he raised his hand and saluted the four female soldiers.
"Also," Sokov put his hand down from his forehead, opened the paper bag on the table, and said to the female soldiers with a smile: "This is a little gift from Comrade Commander, I hope you like it.
."
When the paper package was opened, the female soldiers immediately cheered when they saw the pieces of beautifully packaged chocolate. Without waiting for Sokov's instructions, they all reached out and took a piece of their favorite chocolate.
"Misha," Asiya held the chocolate in her hand, looked at the other unopened paper bag, and asked curiously: "What's in that?"
"Asia," Sokov did not answer her question, but said to her in an encouraging tone: "Open the paper package and show it to the girls."
When Asiya carefully opened the paper package, the other three female soldiers couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my god, it's actually soap!"
For Sokov, if someone in the future gives him this yellowish, unpackaged soap, he will definitely change hands and throw it into the trash can. Who knows what bad things this rough-made soap will do after use?
Reaction. But to the female soldiers on the battlefield in front of them, these two fragrant soaps are simply priceless treasures that they dream of.
Seeing the four female soldiers staring intently at the piece of soap, Sokov said to Asiya generously: "Asiya, you have the final say on the distribution of these two pieces of soap."
"I think it can be cut with a knife." When Maria heard Sokov handing over the soap distribution rights to Asiya, she immediately said impatiently: "There are four of us here, and each of us has exactly half a piece."
Unexpectedly, Asia shook her head after hearing this. She said to Maria: "It's a pity to cut such a good soap. I think it's better for two people to share one piece. What do you two mean?" Her last words
, asked the other two female soldiers standing aside.
"I agree!" The two female soldiers nodded at the same time, expressing their agreement with Asiya's proposal.
Asiya picked up a piece of soap, handed it to one of the female soldiers, and said to her: "You two can share this piece of soap."
The female soldier took the soap and kissed Asiya excitedly on the cheek to express her gratitude to her: "Thank you, dear Asiya!"
After Asiya handed another piece of soap to Maria, she said to the three of them: "Okay, now that everyone has received their gifts, let's go back to their posts. There are still many wounded people who need us to take care of them.
."
After the other three female soldiers left, Asiya walked to Sokov's side, stared at the remaining piece of chocolate on the table, and asked in a low voice: "Misha, there is another piece of chocolate, are you ready?"
Leave it to the female second lieutenant?"
"Female second lieutenant, what female second lieutenant?" Sokov was stunned when he heard Asiya asking. Then he thought of the female second lieutenant of the German army, who was being guarded by two soldiers in another corner of the church hall. He
He pouted towards the position of the female second lieutenant and asked carefully: "Asia, are you talking about the German female second lieutenant who is imprisoned there?"
"Yes." Asiya pointed at the chocolates on the table and asked, "I see you brought back five pieces of chocolate, but there are only four of us. Aren't they prepared for her?"
Sokov's heart was broken at the moment. He thought to himself: You have too much imagination. This gift was given to me by the commander, and I didn't even notice how many pieces of chocolate were inside. He wanted to explain, but when he saw Ah
Thea didn't seem to be angry, so she changed her mind temporarily: "Athea, you are smart enough to guess it right away. The thing is, this female second lieutenant named Elizabeth played an important role in persuading the Germans to surrender.
It plays a very important role. Women's Day is coming soon, and the commander happened to be handing out gifts, so I asked him for an extra piece of chocolate to give to the female second lieutenant to express my gratitude to her!"
Hearing Sokov's "reasonable" explanation, Asiya nodded, reached for the piece of chocolate on the table, and said to Sokov: "Then I will send it to her now."
Elizabeth, who was being guarded by two soldiers, saw a female health worker running up to her and handing her a piece of beautifully packaged chocolate. She couldn't help but curiously asked: "What does this mean?"
"In two days, it will be Women's Day. Every woman should get her own gift." Asiya put the chocolate into Elizabeth's hand and continued: "This is our battalion commander Sokov
A holiday gift from the Major."
When Elizabeth heard what Asiya said, she couldn't help but look gratefully at Sokov's position. She smiled and said to Asiya: "Please express my gratitude to the major on my behalf for the gift he gave me."
