Faced with Yakov's enthusiasm, no matter how dissatisfied Sonia was, she could only hide it in her heart and did not dare to say it out. She was secretly regretting it at the moment, feeling that her vision was too poor. If someone like Sokov
He was a major, how could he hang out with a general every day, and the general Yakov spoke to him in a very easy-going tone. At that time, I thought Yakov was approachable, but I never dreamed of Yakov's identity.
Their status is much higher than that of Yakov.
The journey from the headquarters to the field hospital was only five or six minutes, but to Sonia, it seemed like five or six hours. After finally waiting for the car to park at the entrance of the field hospital, she thanked Yakov
, immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
"Sonia," Yakov called her, then opened the door and got out of the car, walked around the front of the car and came to Sonia, and said proactively: "Let me take you in."
"No need, Yasha." Sonia waved her hands and said, "It will have bad effects if other medical staff see it."
Yakov felt that what Sonia said made sense. If she arrived at the field hospital on the first day, the Army Chief of Staff would personally send her to report. Others might have some bad connections if they saw it, so he did not stick to his plan.
He suggested, but asked with a smile: "Then let's go out for a meal tonight, do you think it's okay?"
"Yasha, I'm afraid this won't work." If Sokov's true identity had not been discovered, Sonia might have agreed to Yakov's request, but at this moment, she just wanted to get rid of Yakov quickly, so she tactfully
He said: "Our medical team starts working on the first day today, and I'm afraid we need to stay in the hospital 24 hours a day. As the head nurse of the medical team, how can I leave here casually?"
Yakov did not hear the alienation in Sonia's tone, and said to himself: "You are right, there are indeed a lot of things to be busy with when I get here. Then I will come to you another day, you go in now
Bar."
Hearing Yakov say that he should go in first, Sonia felt that she wanted to go in first. She quickly turned around and walked towards the hospital, and said casually: "Please pay more attention to safety when driving."
Sokov didn't care about the story between Yakov and Sonia. He was wondering in his mind at the moment, in two days, it would be the day when Tianhuang issued the surrender edict, and how far his troops could advance by then. If
The Japs really began to surrender on the 15th, so will they continue to implement their original airborne plan?
It happened that at this time Lukin was pushed into the headquarters by Captain Alt. Seeing Sokov looking worried, Lukin asked curiously: "Misha, what are you thinking about?"
"The deputy commander is here," Sokov said casually: "I am wondering how far our troops can advance before the airborne operation begins."
"Can we get near the city where we are scheduled to land?"
"I'm afraid there will be difficulties." Sokov shook his head and said, "After all, our soldiers can only rely on their own two legs to move forward most of the time, and they cannot compare with mechanized friendly forces." He picked up the red and blue pencils.
He tapped the map twice and said angrily, "According to the current advancement speed, by the time we land by air, the main force will still be at least one or two hundred kilometers away from the big cities."
"If the distance is one or two hundred kilometers, it means that after the airborne troops complete the airborne landing, they have to hold on to the occupied area for one to two days. Will there be any accidents?"
Faced with Lukin's worries, Sokov said with a smile: "It's not that bad. After all, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Japs are far inferior to those of the Germans. The tragedy of the Allied Forces' Operation Market Garden is absolutely not true."
It will happen again with our army."
"That's good, that's good." Although the troops are progressing extremely smoothly now, he is still worried that the airborne plan made a few days ago will follow the footsteps of the Allied Forces' Operation Market Garden. After listening to Sokov's words, Lu
Jin felt much more at ease: "As long as we don't make any big mistakes, I think we can completely defeat the Kwantung Army before the end of August."
"Comrade Deputy Commander, you are right." Sokov agreed with Lukin's statement: "Since the little devils have sent people to contact us, it shows that they are not optimistic about the prospect of continuing the fight.
.No matter whether our army makes any major mistakes in the coming days, it will not affect the final result of the battle. It will just delay the time of victory."
After the two chatted for a while, Lu Jin suddenly remembered something that Art mentioned when he came in, so he tentatively asked Sokov: "Misha, I heard that the superiors sent us a medical team.
And he’s from Khabarovsk, right?”
"Yes, there was indeed a medical team from Khabarovsk last night, and Yakov's acquaintances were among them." Then Sokov told Lukin what he learned from Sonia.
He went through it in detail, and finally said: "Originally, I asked Yakov to go back and rest, but he insisted on sending Sonia to a field hospital. She should be there by now."
"Misha, when you were in Khabarovsk, you expressed doubts about Sonia's identity." Lukin reminded Sokov: "Is it appropriate to let her stay in our army now?"
"Comrade Deputy Commander, you don't have to worry about this." Sokov said confidently: "Even if this Sonia is a spy of the Kwantung Army, now that she is here, she will not play any role at all. In the busy field hospital
Here, even if she gets some information about our army, there is no way to pass it on, because in Solon, which is far away from Khabarovsk, her intelligence line is of no use at all."
Hearing what Sokov said, Lu Jin couldn't help but nodded slightly. He very much agreed with Sokov's analysis. Even if Sonia was a senior Kwantung Army agent and had been lurking in Khabarovsk for four or five years, her
The intelligence lines were all in the Khabarovsk area. Now that she had arrived in Solon, thousands of kilometers away, the upstream and downstream lines that were in contact with her were completely cut off.
"Also." Sokov continued: "Now the war situation has become one-sided, and our army's final victory is only a matter of time. Even if she gets some of our army's combat plans and passes them on through some special channel
, do you think the little devil can still take corresponding measures?"
When Lu Jin heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "No matter whether Sonia is an agent of the Kwantung Army or not, as long as she arrives in Solon, she will be completely useless and can only stay in the field hospital to take care of us. The wounded. Originally, I was worried that she would steal useful information about our army through her contact with the Chief of Staff. Now it seems that even if the battle plan is handed over to her, this information is just a pile of waste paper to her."
In the evening, Sokov had just finished reading the battle report sent back from the front when he saw a radiant Yakov walking in from outside.
"Misha, Comrade Deputy Commander." Yakov said to Sokov and Lukin: "How is the battle going today?"
"It went very smoothly." Sokov said: "We have advanced another forty or fifty kilometers, and the enemy's resistance is still vulnerable. Seeing the battle reports sent back from the front line, I even had the illusion that we are not Not fighting, but training. If the Germans had been like this, this damn war would have been over long ago."
Yakov picked up the battle report on the table and read it for a while, then said to Sokov and Lukin: "From now on, I will be on duty. You two go back first."
Although the battle was still going on, Sokov found that even if he stayed in the command post, he might not be of much use. After all, the war was going smoothly, and commanders at all levels would not encounter any situation where they needed to ask their superiors for help. Ya Ya was left behind. Cove is on duty alone, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Yakov pushed Lukin out of the headquarters, and when he was about to find a place to eat, a man suddenly walked over from the side and proactively greeted: "Misha, where are you going?"
When Sokov saw that it was Sonia, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Sonia, did you come here with Yasha?"
Unexpectedly, Sonia shook her head and said, "No, I came here hitchhiking and didn't see the chief of staff."
"Yasha is inside." Sokov knew that Sonia was interested in Yakov, so he pointed inside and said, "If you want to find him, just go in."
Unexpectedly, Sonia's answer surprised him: "Misha, I'm not looking for Yasha, but you."
"Looking for me?" Sokov asked in surprise: "What are you looking for me for?"
"I'll treat you to a meal!"
"Why do you want to invite me to dinner?"
"To thank you for saving me and my sisters in the restaurant in Khabarovsk." Sonia said: "If you weren't there at that time, I think we might not even be able to save our own lives."
When they were eating in the restaurant, they encountered a gunfight. It was indeed Sokov who made a prompt decision and decisively shot and killed the Kwantung Army spies who broke in, saving everyone from danger. Now I heard that Sonia used this as a reason to ask for help. He couldn't refuse to eat by himself, so he lowered his head and asked Lu Jin: "Comrade Lu Jin, are you going too?"
Sonia heard Sokov asking Lukin if they would go to dinner together, and the expression on her face couldn't help but change. Lukin, who was good at observing words and expressions, caught the change in the expression on Sonia's face and guessed that the other party was not willing to let her go together. After eating, he said with a smile: "No, Misha, I feel a little tired and want to go back to rest. You two should go and eat."
Seeing that Lukin was unwilling to go to dinner, Sokov did not force himself, so he handed the wheelchair to Captain Alt, who came over, and told him: "Comrade Captain, please send Comrade Deputy Commander back to rest."
"Comrade Commander," Art glanced at Sonia, then fixed his gaze on Sokov, and said with some hesitation: "Who will protect your safety?"
Sokov pointed with his hand at the orderly Sergeant Atser who was standing next to the jeep on the roadside, and said with a smile: "Isn't there one of my orderlies? Let him follow me and be responsible for protecting my safety.
"
After Alt pushed Lukin's wheelchair away, Sokov took Sonia to the jeep parked on the roadside.
Asel, who was standing next to the car, saw Sokov coming and quickly opened the rear door and invited the two of them to get in the car.
Asel sat in the passenger seat, closed the door, and turned to ask Sokov: "Comrade Commander, where are we going?"
"Sonia, where are we going?" Sokov asked.
"Comrade driver," Sonia said to the driver: "Drive along this street, turn right at the second intersection, and drive about a hundred meters further. There is a restaurant owned by Mongolians. We are here tonight.
Just go there to eat.”
Under Sonia's guidance, it only took the driver a few minutes to park the car firmly in front of the Mongolian restaurant.
Aser waited for the car to stop, and immediately got out of the car and came to the back to open the door for Sokov. After Sokov got off the car, he did not walk away immediately, but turned around and helped Sonia get out of the car: "Sonia,
Is that it?”
"Yes, Misha, this is it." Sonia replied with a smile: "I heard from the wounded in the hospital that the haggis soup and Mongolian pie here are the most delicious, so I specially invited you to come over and try them.
"
After Sokov and Sonia walked into the restaurant, they found a place to sit down in the hall. Seeing Asel standing next to him, Sokov said to him: "What are you standing for? Sit down together."
Come have some with us."
Seeing Sokov beckoning him to sit down, Asel was not polite and sat down on Sokov's right side.
When the waiter in the restaurant saw the guests arriving, he quickly came over and asked: "You three, what would you like to eat?" He spoke in Russian, which Sokov and others could understand.
"Sonia," Sokov said to Sonia: "You'd better take the order."
"I heard that the haggis soup here is good," Sonia said to the waiter: "Give us three bowls of haggis soup, ten Mongolian pies and three Mongolian blood sausages."
When Sokov heard that Sonia ordered ten Mongolian pies in one breath, he quickly reminded her: "Sonia, are ten pies too many? Besides, you also ordered haggis soup and Mongolian blood sausage.
I can’t finish it if I run away.”
"It doesn't matter. If you can't finish eating, just pack it up and take it back." Sonia smiled and said to Sokov: "It's not bad to take it back as a midnight snack."
When Sokov heard it, it seemed to make sense, so he nodded in agreement.
Soon, the waiter brought three large bowls of haggis soup on a tray and placed them in front of the three of them.
Looking at the big bowl in front of him, which was not much smaller than the basin, Sokov couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Sonia, it seems that your information is inaccurate. For such a big bowl of haggis soup, one serving is enough for the three of us.
One serving per person will definitely be too much to finish."
Sonia didn't expect that the portion of haggis soup here was so abundant. She could only smile bitterly and said: "Misha, you can drink as much as you can. If you can't finish it, leave it to him. When I return to the hospital tomorrow, I must tell him
Colleagues from the medical team, the portion of the haggis soup here is too generous, one order is enough for two or three people."
