"Then what should we do?" Yakov asked: "If the attacking troops outside are unable to rush into the restaurant, I'm worried that they will take drastic actions."
"A drastic action?" Sokov asked, "What drastic action?"
"If they still can't take the restaurant, they may use artillery to bombard it." Yakov knocked on the table board behind him with his hand and said with a wry smile: "This board can block bullets, but it can't block cannonballs.
If they really open fire, we will probably be wiped out."
Yakov's words reminded Sokov that just hiding here was definitely not the answer. He had to find a way to find out the identities of the two officers. His mind began to think quickly to see if there was any way to identify the other party's identity.
He carefully stretched out the mirror again and observed the two officers carefully. This time he saw clearly that both of them had Asian faces. Although there were many soldiers from Asia in the Soviet army, their facial contours were different from those of the two officers.
There is a certain difference. At this moment, Sokov can confirm in his heart that people with such faces should be spies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance or Xiaoli. The Anti-Japanese Alliance has been reorganized into the 88th International Brigade by the Soviet army, and there were gun battles with other Soviet troops.
The possibility is zero. The remaining possibility is that these two people are spies from the small days. According to Bezikov, many spies from the small days have sneaked into Khabarovsk recently. Maybe these two people
That's two of them.
Sokov turned to Yakov and said: "Yasha, according to my judgment, the two officers outside should be spies sent by Xiaori. Their identities were discovered by our soldiers, and the gun battle broke out, and they finally fled here.
Come."
"Really, Misha?" Yakov grabbed Sokov's hand and said with some excitement: "If they are really spies from Xiaoli, then we can shoot them without hesitation.
They were wiped out."
Although Sokov had already determined in his heart that the other party was Xiaori's spy, he still had to make a final confirmation before shooting. Thinking of this, he shouted outside in Chinese: "The king of heaven covers the tiger of the earth!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Yakov was stunned, but even the two officers at the door who were shooting outside stopped shooting and turned to look at the wooden table where Sokov and others were hiding. After a moment of silence, that
The second lieutenant shouted "Baga", then turned his gun and shot at the wooden table repeatedly, as if he would not stop until the person behind the table was killed.
Sokov has been able to confirm that the two officers who were blocked in the room by the soldiers were young spies who had sneaked into Khabarovsk. They wore Soviet military uniforms and pretended to be Soviet officers. When performing tasks in the city,
His identity was discovered and he fled here, chased by a group of soldiers.
Now that the identity of the opponent was confirmed, Sokov was ready to take action. He snatched the pistol from Yakov's hand, then lay down on the ground, kicked hard on the ground with his feet, and used the huge inertial side to
He slid out and simultaneously fired cross-fire at the two officers hiding by the door.
In his childhood, the spy never dreamed that a man would suddenly appear from behind the table and shoot at him repeatedly. Unexpectedly, his knee was hit by a bullet. He suddenly became unsteady and knelt down on one knee.
On the ground. Before he could raise the muzzle of the gun, the bullets fired from the gun in Sokov's hand hit him in the head, chest and waist respectively. This young spy wearing the uniform of a Soviet second lieutenant died like this.
When another young spy wearing a lieutenant's uniform saw this, he couldn't help being frightened and hurriedly fired at Sokov's position. However, due to Sokov's sliding speed, all the bullets he fired hit the target without exception.
In the open space.
And Sokov rolled on the spot, hid behind another chair, raised his gun and shot the opponent twice. His shooting skills were also more accurate than those of the spy in his childhood. One shot hit the center of the eyebrow, and the other hit the neck.
Above. The body of the young spy fell heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open and looking towards the roof, maintaining the expression of surprise before his death.
After Sokov quickly and neatly eliminated the two young spies, Yakov and several nurses who were hiding behind the table were stunned. Everyone did not expect that Sokov would be able to solve the problem so easily if he did not take action.
Two officers who fought stubbornly.
Seeing everyone trying to stand up from behind the table, Sokov quickly raised his hand to stop them: "Don't move, keep squatting there, so as not to be accidentally injured by one of your own."
After everyone squatted still, Sokov stuck his head out and shouted: "Hey, brothers outside, listen, I am Major Matevosian, the staff officer of the 53rd Group Army. The two escaped into the restaurant.
I have killed the spy in my childhood. You can come in now!"
Unexpectedly, after he finished shouting, the soldiers outside not only did not enter the door, but continued to shoot into the restaurant with machine guns. Two bullets hit the chair where Sokov was hiding, and he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his body.
Avoid being hit by ricochet.
"Misha, what's going on?" Yakov, hiding behind the table, asked Sokov loudly: "We have already identified ourselves to them, why do they still shoot at us?"
"Maybe they were worried about being trapped." Sokov quickly guessed the reason why the soldiers outside the restaurant continued to fire, and explained to Yakov: "You think, the two spies who rushed into the restaurant only had pistols.
, but they were guarding behind the door, and it was still difficult for the soldiers outside to rush in. While the two sides were in a stalemate, someone suddenly told the soldiers outside that the spies inside had been eliminated. If it were you, would you believe it?
?"
After hearing this, Yakov nodded, agreed with Sokov's statement, and then asked: "Then what should we do? We can't hide here forever, right?"
Sokov thought for a while and felt that his identity could not be exposed, so he could only use Yakov's identity to make a fuss. So when the machine gun outside the restaurant stopped firing, he shouted again: "Brothers outside.
Listen, there is also Major General Yakov, Chief of Staff of the 53rd Group Army, in the restaurant. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the guest house where we live and ask, our guest house is just south of the restaurant..."
After Sokov finished shouting this time, there was silence outside. No more shots were fired into the restaurant, but no one spoke to him either.
Seeing that there were no more shots fired outside, Yakov asked Sokov tentatively: "Misha, can we go out?"
"Not yet." Sokov shook his head and said, "The soldiers outside are still suspicious of us. If we walk out hastily, they are likely to shoot at us again. If unnecessary casualties are caused, it will be a big loss.
Already."
Being blocked in the restaurant by friendly fire, Yakov felt aggrieved: "Then when can we get out?"
"Don't be anxious, Yasha." Sokov sat down on the ground, placed two pistols on the table in front of him, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it, and said calmly: "Slow down.
Just wait, when they figure out our identity, they will come in and contact us."
Before he finished smoking a cigarette, Sokov heard noisy footsteps outside and even the sound of pulling the bolt of a gun. Hearing these sounds, Sokov couldn't help but thought to himself: Maybe it was Beziko.
My husband came over with people.
Sure enough, a moment later, Sokov heard Bezikov's familiar voice outside: "General Yakov, Major Matevosyan, are you in there?"
"Yes, Comrade Major." Hearing Bezikov's voice, Yakov quickly agreed: "Misha and I are here, and there are a few young girls. Tell the brothers outside that we will be here right away.
We are about to go out, tell them not to shoot."
After Bezikov confirmed that the two Sokovs were in the restaurant, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then negotiated with the commander leading the team outside. Although the officer commanding outside was also a major, he, as a major, was elsewhere.
Bezikov was not worth mentioning in front of him. The major named Matthewlis did not dare to disobey Bezikov's order at all, and quickly ordered people to stop shooting, and at the same time prepared to send men into the restaurant.
After Bezikov completed the negotiation, he shouted into the restaurant: "General Yakov, Major Matevosyan, I am coming in, you must not shoot."
Sokov threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up and said outside: "Come in, Major Bezikov."
Bezikov led two of his subordinates into the restaurant first, took a look at the three corpses lying on the ground, then came to Sokov, raised his hand in salute and said: "I'm sorry, I'm late.
!”
"Not too late, not too late." Sokov said with a smile: "If you hadn't arrived, we don't know when we would be able to leave this restaurant."
Major Matthewlis, who was following with his subordinates, could not help but widen his eyes in surprise when he saw Bezikov, the subordinate in the blue hat, actually saluting an ordinary major. He suddenly thought of something
Perhaps, in order to prevent their identities from being revealed, some important commanders used false names and military ranks. In other words, the major who accepted Bezikov's salute might not be a real major, but a general, or maybe
A famous general.
Thinking of this, Matthewlis couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. You know, after the shootout in the restaurant just now, this ordinary-looking major once shouted outside that the spy in his childhood had been killed by him, but he
But he ordered people to continue shooting regardless. If the bullet had not had an eye at that time, and the major was injured or killed, his fate waiting for him would be to be sent to a military court.
"Comrade Major," a subordinate asked Matthewlis for instructions: "How to deal with the bodies on the ground?"
Matthewlis took a look at the three corpses on the ground. Except for one being a restaurant waiter, the other two were spies from childhood. He quickly ordered his men: "Search these two corpses carefully to see what they stole."
Where is the situation hidden?"
The subordinate agreed and bent down to examine the corpses of the two young spies.
Sokov watched the soldiers searching the corpses and asked Mathulis with interest: "Comrade Major, what are the origins of these two people?"
"They were young spies who sneaked into Khabarovsk." Matthewlis said through gritted teeth: "They sneaked into the headquarters of a division, killed a staff officer, and stole a combat plan of our army.
But when they were leaving, they were discovered by patrolling soldiers, and then what happened next."
When Bezikov heard this, he asked curiously: "Comrade Major, can you tell me how your patrol team identified them?"
"It's very simple." Matthewlis replied: "The division is all Belarusian, how could there be officers with Asian faces. So when the patrol saw them, they felt that they were a little suspicious and were suspicious of them.
During the interrogation, one of them directly shot down two of our soldiers, and then fled. They probably forgot that Khabarovsk had been occupied by our army officers, and there were far fewer residents in the city than soldiers.
During the escape process, patrols or passing troops were constantly chasing them until they escaped into the restaurant here."
Having said this, Mathulis turned to Sokov and said: "Major Matevosyan, thank you! Without your assistance, we don't know how much time it will take to eliminate these two spies.
"
"You're welcome, Comrade Major." Sokov waved his hand at the other party and said, "It's just a piece of cake. As long as you can find the missing information, you can minimize the losses."
"Comrade Major, we found it." The soldier in charge of the search found an envelope from the body's clothes pocket. He opened it and saw that it contained the stolen combat plan. He quickly raised it and said to Matthewlis: "It's us.
The lost battle plan."
Matthewlis took the envelope, looked at it, and said, "Yes, it's the missing battle plan."
Seeing that it would take some time for the other party to deal with the aftermath, Sokov asked tentatively: "Comrade Major, can we leave?"
"Yes, of course, Major Matevosyan." Matthewlis said respectfully: "If there is anything, I will go to the guest house where you are staying to ask for advice."
"Yasha, call the girls and leave here." Sokov said to Yakov: "I think they must be frightened."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Sonia retorted: "Comrade Major, you look down on us too much. You know, we are nurses in a military hospital and have never seen any bloody scenes. To us, this is...
It’s just childish. Don’t you think so, sisters?”
In response to Sonia's statement, the nurses, who were originally frightened and pale, actually replied in unison: "Yes, Sonia is right. Such a scene is nothing more than pediatrics to us.
Not even afraid."
Sokov laughed after hearing this, and then said to them: "I'm sorry, girls, I originally wanted to treat you to a nice meal today, but unexpectedly something like this happened, which disappointed you. Please don't mind."
"Comrade Major," Sonia took up the topic and said, "Since you said you wanted to treat us to a meal, how about taking us to the guest house? I heard that the food in the guest house restaurant is also very good."
Hearing what Sonia said, Yakov said carelessly: "No problem, although the restaurant here is not good, I can invite you to continue eating in the restaurant of the guest house. According to my personal experience, the food in the restaurant inside tastes...
