Red Moscow

Assia stared at Sokov intently, tears rolled in her eyes, and her entire body heaved violently due to excitement. As soon as Sokov finished speaking, she called out "Misha", and then threw herself into Sokov's arms, hugging him tightly, fearing that if she let go, her husband would disappear. As if without a trace.

"Comrades," Belkin said to the others in the room after seeing Sokov and Asya's reunion, coughing heavily, "let's all go out for a smoke, let the brigade commander and Asya Thea, catch up on the old days." After speaking, Belkin got up and took the lead to walk outside. Naturally, the other commanders would not object to Belkin's proposal. They also left their positions one after another, and followed Belkin out of the headquarters.

In an instant, only Sokov and Assia were left in the room. Sokov patted Assia's back lightly with his hands, and asked softly, "Assia, why are you here?"

Assia raised her head, looked at Sokov with tears in her eyes, and asked, "Misha, is it really you? Am I dreaming?"

"Dear Assia, of course it's not a dream." Sokov raised his right hand, gently wiped away the tears from Assia's face, and said to her, "It's really me in front of you."

"But, but..." Although Asiya felt the warmth from Sokov's fingers, she was still worried that she was dreaming, so she asked with some hesitation: "I heard that your troops were surrounded by the Germans in Orlo Fuka, the troops who tried to rescue you were also repulsed by the enemy. . . . How did you escape?"

According to Assia's experience, if a unit falls into the encirclement of the German army, if it cannot be rescued by reinforcements, the only way to escape the danger is to break it into pieces and break out of the encirclement. She couldn't help but doubt in her heart that Sokov must have escaped in disguise if he could reappear here, maybe he escaped alone after leaving the army behind.

Sokov was also a smart person, so he couldn't hear Assia's subtext, so he said with a smile: "Assia, do you think I am the kind of person who abandons his troops and runs for his life alone?"

"No, it's not like." Assia shook her head, and still said in a suspicious tone: "But why did I only see you and Colonel Bely, and the others, where are they, wouldn't they all be sacrificed? "

"Vanya's first battalion suffered particularly heavy casualties in this battle. There are only more than a hundred people left in the whole battalion." Sokov said to Assia: "They are now fighting with Samoilov's guards. The platoon is on the river to meet the troops crossing the river, and it will probably arrive soon."

Speaking of this, Sokov suddenly remembered that Assia came here with Bely, and asked curiously: "Assia, why did you appear with Colonel Bely? Also, he didn't send our nearest Did experience tell you?"

"No." Assia shook her head again and said, "When I was taking care of the wounded, it was Captain Briski who came to call me and said that you had returned safely and wanted to bring me here to see you. But you specifically How he escaped from danger, he does not know the specific situation."

Sokov held Assia's hand, came to the table and sat down, told her all about his experience during this period, and finally said to her apologetically: "Assia, I'm so sorry, In order to prevent leakage of information, we did not report to anyone before we broke out, which made you worry about me."

Asiya is also a soldier herself, so she naturally understands how important it is to keep secrets in battle, so she quickly and reasonablely said: "Misha, you did the right thing. If you have reported the route of the breakout to your superiors , Firstly, there is a possibility of leaking secrets, and secondly, the breakout plan will be rejected by the superiors, after all, the move to breakout to the north is too risky."

Although the two had only been separated for a few days, to Asiya, it seemed like a century. She could see Sokov, and she wished to say all the words that had been held in her heart during this time.

After an unknown period of time, Sokov 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 Asia. During the heart-to-heart conversation, 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 Asia, considering that he had summoned the commanders here to rearrange the horses. The defense of Mayevgang, I can't miss a major event because of the love of my children. Thinking of this, he quickly said to Asiya: "Asiya, it's getting late, you go back to the health team to rest first, I still have to assign tasks to the comrades."

Assia turned her head to look at the door and saw that there were many people standing outside the door. She immediately realized that if she continued to stay here, it would affect her husband's work. 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 at any time."

"I hate it!" After tapping Sokov's shoulder twice with her fist, Assia got up and said, "You still have business to do, so I'll go back to the health team first."

"I send you!"

"No need, I'll go by myself." Assia glanced at the commanders standing outside the door, blushing and said, "Comrades will laugh at me when they see this."

"I'd like to see who of them should laugh at you." Sokov got up and held Assia's hand, and walked towards the door: "I'll send you back to the health team."

When Sokov took Asiya's hand and came to the door, he saw that the commanders outside the door were all paying attention to him, so he coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "Comrades, you go in first." Alright, I'll send Asiya back to the health team, and I'll come back and assign tasks to you."

The commanders standing at the door, upon hearing what Sokov said, hurriedly and loudly agreed, and then made a passage for the two of them, waiting for them to pass first. "Let's go, Assia!" Seeing that everyone made way for him, Sokov said to Assia, and then walked slowly through the crowd lined up by the commanders.

Belkin waited for Sokov and Assia to go away, and then he announced loudly to the commanders who had been waiting outside the door for a long time: "Commanders, everyone, go inside and wait for the brigade When I grow back, I can assign tasks to you."

To everyone, Belkin's words were like an order to attack. In an instant, the commanders crowded in the corridor all rushed into the command post.
