"Healthman of the garrison platoon?!" After hearing Asiya's identity, Ivan couldn't help but frowned, "Then why didn't you join the battle with the comrades in the platoon?"
Ivan's question immediately stopped Asiya. Seeing her troubled expression, Lin Hua quickly stepped forward and answered on her behalf: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I ordered her to send the wounded to the rear. Field hospital, that’s why she didn’t rush to Kryukovo with us.”
After Lin Hua finished his report, Ivan's eyes glanced back and forth between the two of them, making Lin Hua feel terrified. But at this moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Ivan's face: "Misha, it can be seen that Asiya cares about you. In order to find you, she is not even willing to stay in the field hospital, specifically I ran to the city to find you. Nothing is going on here, you go and have a good chat with her." As he said that, he reached out and gave Lin Hua a gentle push on the shoulder.
"Yes!" Lin Hua raised his hand and saluted Ivan, then turned to Asiya and said, "Asiya, let's go!"
Asiya blushed and nodded, but she did not forget the basic etiquette. After saluting Ivan, she took Lin Hua's arm and walked towards the third company's station.
Leskov walked to Ivan's side, looked at the leaving figures of Lin Hua, and said with emotion: "They look like a really well-matched couple."
Ivan nodded in agreement and replied: "Yes, they are a good match. I hope they can both live until the end of the war."
The residents of Kryukovo had been evacuated long before the German army occupied the city, and only soldiers could be seen in the city. When the patrolling soldiers saw a man and a woman walking slowly on the street arm in arm, they couldn't help but look at the two curiously, and cast envious glances at Lin Hua next to Asiya.
Asiya was a little embarrassed to be seen by the soldiers on the street. She asked Lin Hua in a low voice: "Misha, where should we go next?"
"Where else can we go, of course, back to the company." Lin Hua replied casually: "The soldiers from the garrison platoon are all there. I think they must want to see you."
Hearing what Lin Hua said, Asiya couldn't help but hesitated: "Misha, if I follow you to the company, will your company commander say anything?"
Lin Hua was stunned at first, but then he thought that he had become the company commander and had not had time to tell Asiya. However, the regiment leader Xie Dulin personally handed over his lieutenant rank and still kept it in his pocket. When he saw that Asiya didn't know that the company commander she was talking about was him, Lin Hua decided to tease her. He deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and said: "He dares! If he dares to talk about you, I will definitely beat him up."
"Disgusting!" Asiya heard what Lin Hua said, raised her hand and lightly punched his arm twice, and then continued: "Misha, if your company commander doesn't agree with me staying in the company, you can You must say something nice for me."
"Don't worry, Asiya." Lin Hua patted his chest and assured Asiya, "I promise you, I will definitely let you stay in our company as a hygienist."
Lin Hua took Asiya to the Third Company's station. Standing at the door was a sentry carrying a rifle, stamping his feet because of the cold weather. Seeing Lin Hua coming, he quickly stood at attention, held his head high and raised his hands in salute. After returning the courtesy, Lin Hua quickly walked to the door and opened the closed wooden door. However, he did not go in immediately, but made an invitation gesture towards Asiya. When Asiya entered the door, he followed her in and closed the door behind her.
The soldiers of the third company lived in a cafe. The soldiers of the guard platoon were standing or sitting near the door. When they heard someone coming in from the outside, they instinctively turned to look at the door. Lin Hua led Asiya to the crowd and said loudly: "Comrades, who do you see coming?"
"Asiya!" The first person who saw Asiya clearly was Seryosha. He quickly threw the cigarette in his hand at the enemy, walked over quickly, and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"
"Hello, Seryosha." Asia became a little excited when she saw an acquaintance appearing in front of her, and grabbed Seryosha's hand, "I'm so happy to see you are still alive."
Then Andre, Grisa, Zelia and others came over to greet Asiya. While shaking hands with them, Asiya said excitedly: "Comrades, it's great that you are all alive. I On the way here, I was worried that I would never see you again.”
Lin Hua smiled on the side and said: "Asia, don't worry, our comrades are all alive. Not one of the twelve people from Kryukovo village is missing now."
After Asiya exchanged greetings with everyone, Lin Hua said to everyone: "Comrades, Asiya was worried about the safety of all of us and came here from the field hospital. However, she didn't know our specific location, so she asked people around. If I hadn't happened to be passing by and brought her here, she might have traveled all over Kryukovo to find out our whereabouts."
The soldiers in the garrison platoon had been getting along with Asiya for a while, and they already had a good impression of her. Now that they heard Lin Hua say that Asiya was asking about everyone's whereabouts, their favorable impression of her increased even more.
Asiya looked at the two dozen people on the other side of the cafe and asked tentatively: "Misha, is Comrade Company Commander over there?"
Before Lin Hua could finish speaking, Seryosha had already spoken: "Asia, are you looking for the company commander?"
"Yes, Seryosha." Asya nodded and said, "I want to stay in this company, but I don't know if he will allow it."
Seryosha waited for Asiya to finish speaking, and immediately pursed his lips towards Lin Hua next to him, and said with a half-smile: "Aren't you looking for the company commander? Well, our Comrade Sokov is the new company commander of the third company. long."
"What, Misha is the company commander." Asia looked at Lin Hua with disbelief and said, "How is this possible? When you left Kryukovo Village in the morning, he was just the platoon leader of the garrison platoon. How is it possible? Became company commander so soon?"
"Asia, I have to say that Misha has started to have good luck since he was knocked unconscious by a bomb last week." Seryosha said a little jealously: "First he blocked the Germans in Khimki Town and was promoted. As a sergeant, he served as the platoon leader of the garrison platoon. Before we finished today's battle, we received an order from our superiors to appoint him as the commander of the third company and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. ..."
After Asiya heard what Seryosa said, she looked at Lin Hua and asked tentatively: "Misha, is everything Seryosa said true?"
"It's true." Lin Hua nodded, took out the lieutenant's rank from his pocket, handed it to Asiya, and said a little embarrassedly: "Asiya, this is the new rank given to me by the regiment commander. , can you sew it on the collar for me?"
Asiya took the military rank from Lin Hua, sneered, and said, "Misha, you became the company commander, and you didn't tell me just now, which made me embarrassed in front of my comrades. You should sew this military rank yourself." ." After saying that, he threw it towards Lin Hua. While Lin Hua bent down to pick it up, she quickly walked past him and came to the soldiers of the Third Company on the other side. She smiled and said to them: "Hello, comrades, I am the health worker Asiya. Do any of you need any wounds bandaged?"
