When Asiya came out of Agelina's room early in the morning, her eyes were red, as if she had cried. After seeing this, Sokov asked with some distress: "Asia, what's wrong with you? Why are the circles under your eyes red?"
It was okay that Sokov didn't speak. As soon as he asked a question, Asiya began to wipe her tears again: "I chatted with Agelina all night, and she told me her own experience. She was really unhappy. It’s easier.”
Hearing what Asya said, Sokov couldn't help but think to himself that although Agelina had revealed her identity to him yesterday, it was impossible for her to tell many of her personal experiences to a grown man like him easily, but for midnight Asiya, who comes to stay overnight, may talk about anything. Thinking of this, the fire of gossip in his heart couldn't help but burn brightly. He quickly glanced at the door and saw no one outside, so he lowered his voice and asked: "Asia, what did she say to you? Can you tell me? ?”
"Agelina is the daughter of a famous scholar. She is well educated and can speak French and German fluently." Asiya sat on the chair that Sokov moved for her and began to tell the story of Agelina. : "... After the war broke out, as the fascist invaders approached the city, her father was included in the first batch of evacuation lists. She could have followed her father to the rear, but she resolutely stayed and Accepted the assignment from his superiors and stayed in Voloklamsk to engage in underground work.
...After the German army occupied the city, she successfully sneaked into the German garrison headquarters and became the garrison commander's personal translator. Because she was good at playing the piano and could recite Goethe's "Faust" in German, she was deeply appreciated by the garrison commander, who believed that she was much better than those superficial and vulgar officers' wives. Seeing that she was so highly regarded by the garrison commander, the officers stationed in the city came to flatter her one after another, allowing her to easily obtain a lot of important information. "
When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Since she is so highly regarded by the garrison commander, why did she come to this prisoner of war camp to work as a translator?"
"Before the start of our army's major counteroffensive, the garrison commander received an important document, which contained the latest German combat plan. It included the troop deployment and specific time to attack Moscow." Asiya continued: "She immediately reported the situation After reporting to her contact person in the city, she was instructed to find a way to obtain this document. That night, she sneaked into the garrison commander's room, opened the filing cabinet with a stolen key, and took out the file. An important document was remade. Just as she finished all this and was about to leave, she bumped into the garrison commander who came in through the door.
She was frightened and thought she had been caught stealing documents. Unexpectedly, the garrison commander who came in was already drunk and did not notice her behavior at all. Instead, he wanted to molest her. She was so angry that she slapped the other person hard in the face and rushed out the door. After she left the headquarters, she handed the film to the contact person waiting outside.
When the garrison commander got up the next day, he found that no one had touched the documents, but he remembered that he had been slapped twice by Agelina here. Because he was worried that it would affect his official career, he did not say anything and just ordered that the documents be moved. Agelina was sent to this prisoner of war camp to serve as a translator. "
After listening to the story told by Asiya, Sokov secretly sighed: This Agelina's experience is so thrilling that it can be adapted into a movie.
Seryosha walked in from the outside and saw the two people talking, so he coughed heavily. When both of them turned to look at him, he quickly reminded Sokov: "Comrade Battalion Commander, the commander who is here for the meeting They are all waiting outside. Should you let them come in now or wait a little longer?" When he said this, he glanced quickly at Asiya, hinting that if it was inconvenient for Sokov, he could come back later.
When Asiya learned that Sokov was going to have a meeting, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Misha, I'm going to take care of the wounded. I'll come back in the evening." After that, she left the room as if running away.
Seeing Asya leaving, Sokov ordered Seryosha: "Guard platoon leader, call all the commanders in."
Seryosha nodded, then exited the door, stood in the corridor and said to the commanders who had been waiting for a long time: "Come in, comrade commander, please come in, comrade battalion commander is waiting for you." Standing in the corridor The commanders, after hearing what Seryosha said, immediately rushed into the room with a roar. After saluting Sokov in a noisy manner, they each found a place to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Sokov glanced at the commanders present one by one and found that among the people participating in the meeting, in addition to the several company commanders who attended the meeting yesterday, there was also the third company instructor Si Jie. Pan, and several other unfamiliar faces. He raised his chin towards the middle-aged soldier wearing round glasses not far away, and then said: "Comrade, I don't know how to call you?"
The middle-aged man stood up quickly, straightened his back and said: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I am Assistant Military Doctor Pavlov, temporarily serving as the captain of the health team."
"Hello, Comrade Assistant Military Medical Officer, I am the battalion commander, Captain Sokov. Nice to meet you." After Sokov finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Please sit down!"
Then he met Second Lieutenant Vasya, the new engineer platoon leader. He originally served as the engineer platoon leader in the 30th Army. He was unfortunately captured in a small-scale battle two days before the start of the major counterattack.
The leader of the communications squad is Maxim, a corporal. It turned out that he was a radio operator of the 38th Infantry Division. After the fall of Voloklamsk, his unit was attacked by the German army while it was moving towards the Istria Reservoir and was captured.
After getting to know all the new commanders, Sokov stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "Comrade commanders, after yesterday's selection, I think all the soldiers in each company are fully staffed, right? Tell me, are there any Are there any difficulties?"
"Comrade Battalion Commander, I want to say a few words." As soon as Sokov finished speaking, Vanya stood up and said: "Our company now has 150 soldiers, but there are a few weapons. Only half of the soldiers have them. arms."
"Our company is in a similar situation." As soon as Vanya finished speaking, Andrei and Saveyev also stood up and complained to Sokov about the lack of weapons.
After Sokov waited for the two to finish speaking, he motioned them to sit down with his eyes. Then he turned to Vasily, who was silent and asked: "Lieutenant Vasily, why don't you speak?"
"Our company now has 20 machine guns, but not a single artillery piece," Vasily looked at Sokov and asked, "I wonder if Comrade Battalion Commander can get us some artillery pieces, not even mortars."
The problem of insufficient weapons gave Sokov a headache. After the room became quiet again, he said to everyone: "Comrade commanders, we are now behind enemy lines. It is very difficult for our superiors to provide us with supplies." , everything can only be solved by ourselves."
"Find a way to solve it yourself, how to solve it?" Andre muttered in a low voice: "There are no enemy warehouses nearby for us to rob..."
Although Andre's voice was low, it still reached Sokov's ears clearly because the room was not big. The speaker was unintentional but the listener was interested. He felt that what Andre said could solve the current dilemma, so he asked the other party: "Second Lieutenant Andre, what did you just say?"
Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, Andre stood up quickly and said in a panic: "I said we can't solve the problem of weapons and ammunition by ourselves..."
"That's not the sentence," Sokov interrupted before he finished speaking, "it's the last sentence."
Although Andrei didn't know the purpose of Sokov's question, he still answered truthfully: "I said there are no enemy warehouses nearby, let us rob them!"
Sokov waited for Andrei to finish speaking, slapped the table with his hand, and shouted: "Wonderful, that's wonderful! Second Lieutenant Andrei, your idea is good." Then he told Seryosha, "You go Call Agelina here, I have something important to ask her."
"Comrade Battalion Commander," Vanya looked at Seryosha's back disappearing from the door and asked curiously: "What did Adelina do in the military meeting we held?"
Naturally, Sokov would not reveal the mystery so early. He smiled and replied: "Lieutenant Vanya, please be patient. When Agelina comes, you will know what is going on."
