"It's really not easy." As a military doctor, Asya naturally knows how difficult it is for Gavrilov to continue fighting without receiving food and water after being injured.
She looked at Gavrilov's bent right hand and said with some emotion: "Comrade Major, if you can get timely treatment after your arm is injured, you won't be left with any disability."
"Yes, you are right." Gavrilov agreed with Asiya's statement: "But under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible to get any treatment. In fact, I had already received treatment before I was captured.
, the wound on my arm has become infected and suppurated. I feel very fortunate that after I was captured by the German army, their military doctors did not amputate my leg, otherwise I would have become a cripple with one hand."
After chatting for a while, Sokov suddenly heard music coming from outside, and said to the two of them: "The celebrations outside may be about to start. Let's go out and have a look."
"Okay!" Asiya agreed, stood up holding the table, and casually took Sokov's arm: "Let's go out to watch the celebration now."
The three of them came out of the cafe and found that the park, which originally seemed to have some space, had actually become crowded. Even though it was only a few hundred meters away from the stage, it might not be easy to squeeze through.
"Misha, what should we do?" Asiya looked at the stage in the distance and said with some reluctance: "Are we going to stand a few hundred meters away to watch the performance?"
Sokov knew very well that no matter how good his and Asiya's eyes were, it might not be easy to see the actors on the stage clearly. He could only say with a wry smile: "How about we try our luck?"
, squeeze forward, maybe you can squeeze near the stage."
When Sokov and Asya squeezed forward from the crowd, Gavrilov naturally stood on the other side of Asya, sandwiching Asya on the left and right with Sokov.
in the middle to prevent her from being squeezed by others.
After finally squeezing to a place more than 80 meters away from the stage, Sokov found that there was a cordon separated by iron railings. At the entrance, there were more than 20 policemen and militiamen wearing red armbands maintaining order.
.Some people arrived at the door, were interrogated for a few words, and then let in. But more people were blocked outside the iron railings and could not get closer to the stage.
Seeing this, Sokov thought to himself that the three of him were all wearing military uniforms. If they wanted to enter this separated area, there should be hope. So he leaned close to Asiya's ear and said: "Asiya
, let’s continue walking forward to see if we can enter the isolated area.”
In this way, the three of them squeezed to the entrance.
"Comrade Second Lieutenant," Gavrilov saw that the highest-ranking officer on duty was a police second lieutenant, and asked politely: "Can we go in?"
When the second lieutenant of the police saw that the person asking the question was a major, and was hesitating whether to let him in, Sokov came out from behind Gavrilov and asked equally politely: "Comrade second lieutenant, we want to be far away from the stage."
Is it okay to watch the show closer?"
Seeing Sokov's military rank clearly and the medal hanging on his uniform on his chest, the police lieutenant quickly stood at attention, raised his hand and saluted him, and then said politely: "Of course, Comrade General, please come in."
Bar!"…..
In this way, the three Sokovs successfully entered the isolated area.
Since most of the citizens who came to watch the performance in Weedenham Park were stopped dozens of meters away from the stage, this specially isolated area seemed very empty, and even close to the stage, there were
Twenty rows of wooden chairs.
When Sokov saw these neatly arranged chairs, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, because these performances usually lasted four or five hours. Asya was a pregnant woman, and if she was allowed to stand for such a long time, it would be troublesome if she got a fetal force.
So he took Asiya's hand and walked towards the place where the wooden chairs were placed.
However, after arriving at the place, he did not sit down immediately. Instead, he called a policeman on duty next to him, pointed to the seats and asked: "Comrade policeman, I wonder if these seats are for casual seating, or have been arranged in advance?"
When the policeman saw that the person questioning him was a general with a chest full of medals, he quickly said respectfully: "Comrade General, the first three rows are reserved for superiors who come to watch the performance. You can sit wherever you like in the remaining seats!"
"
Knowing that the first three rows were reserved for superiors, Sokov naturally would not argue with them, so he chose the fifth row and asked Asiya and Gavrilov to sit down: "Let's sit here.
." He chose this position for a reason. He kept a distance from the leader and was as close to the stage as possible.
Soon after the three people sat down, people began to sit down on the empty chairs next to them. There were ordinary people in casual clothes and soldiers in military uniforms. When the soldiers saw Sokov and Gavrilov sitting here, they would
He stopped and saluted the two of them. Sokov did not stand up, but just raised his hand to his forehead in return.
Soon, all the chairs except the first three rows were filled, and the audience who came in from behind could only stand behind the chairs to watch the performance.
Before the performance started, the leaders finally arrived late.
Sokov thought that these leaders had nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay attention to who was coming, and continued chatting with Gavrilov in a low voice.
"Misha," Asia suddenly touched Sokov's hand with her elbow and said to him: "Quickly look, who is the person sitting on the right in the first row?"
"Who is it? Do I know it?" Sokov looked casually towards the right side of the first row, but soon his eyes widened in surprise: "What the hell, how could it be Yasha?"
"Yes, I just reminded you when I saw Yasha sitting there."
Sokov thought that Yakov, like himself, had not been assigned any specific work. Since he appeared here and was sitting in the front row, he was obviously accompanying an important person, so he observed carefully.
People sitting in the first row.
Although the leaders had their backs to him and could only see their backs and the backs of their heads, Sokov soon spotted a familiar figure from behind and couldn't help but said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Yasha was actually accompanying him.
Come."
"Who is it?" Asya and Gavrilov asked in unison.
"Comrade Ustinov from the General Ordnance Department." Sokov said in a low voice: "Yasha may have accompanied him."
As he was talking, Yakov, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly stood up, stood on tiptoes and looked behind him, as if he was looking for someone...
When Sokov saw this, he immediately realized that when Yakov and the others were sitting down, someone who knew him might have discovered him and told Yakov about it, so Yakov got up and looked for someone in the back.
He stood up slowly and waved to Yakov, indicating that he was here.
After Yakov saw Sokov clearly, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly. Before he reached the place, his voice came over: "Misha, why are you here? What if?
Unless someone told me that I saw you sitting in the back row, I didn't know you were here."
After the two hugged each other, Sokov asked: "Did you come with Comrade Ustinov?"
"Yes, that's true." After Yakov greeted Asiya, he recognized Gavrilov sitting next to him, and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Major Gavrilov
,Nice to meet you here."
"Hello, Comrade General." Gavrilov responded politely: "I'm glad to see you, too."
"Misha, Comrade Ustinov said that he wants to have a good talk with you."
"Let's wait another day." Sokov said: "I'm afraid it will be dark by the time the performance here ends."
Unexpectedly, Yakov laughed after hearing this: "Misha, you are wrong! Do you think that when the leader watches the performance, he really watches it from beginning to end? Ustinov is not the protagonist today. He can only watch it at best.
After a few shows, he will leave. I will call you then, and you can have a good talk with him."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
When Sokov saw Yakov returning to the first row, he did not sit down immediately. Instead, he crouched in front of Ustinov and whispered something to him. He should have told him that he was waiting.
to meet him.
The performance started soon. In the cheerful national music, a group of young girls in national costumes began to perform national dances on the stage. Their dance postures were graceful and graceful, dancing like elves on the stage. They rotated, jumped and twisted.
The dance moves and dances change, making it dazzling.
After the dance ended, a host in military uniform appeared in the center of the stage. He spoke loudly into a microphone as tall as one person: "The next program is a male solo performance of "Holy War". Please stand up!"
When the audience sitting on their chairs heard the song called "Holy War", they all stood up before the host said the next sentence. For Russians, this song was born during the Great Patriotic War.
The song during this period is their second national anthem. In later generations of China, there are always people who like to confuse the situation and insist on saying that the song "Katyusha" is Russia's second national anthem. In fact, this song was born in Zhanggu
After the Battle of Fengfeng, it would be more appropriate to say it was an anti-Japanese song. The resonance it aroused when it was actually sung in Russia was simply not comparable to "Holy War."
When the exciting music sounded, Sokov's mind couldn't help but think of the past on the battlefield. Encouraged by this song, countless commanders and soldiers rushed towards the enemy with weapons in hand without hesitation.
Along with the rhythm of the music, the male singer on the stage began to sing. At first, he was singing alone, but soon, the audience in the audience began to hum along. The singing voice from the radio speakers and the audience
The songs from the audience gathered together to sing their own beliefs and hopes, and this song became a common bond for everyone. At that moment, people thought of the war that had just ended not long ago and of their loved ones who had sacrificed their lives.
, the city was destroyed by enemy artillery fire and bombs, they released their true emotions to their heart's content, and the huge sound wave formed by the voices of countless people soared into the sky...
When the song ended and everyone sat down again, Gavrilov, who was sitting next to Sokov, suddenly said: "Comrade General, my biggest regret is that I did not listen to this song with a
The soldiers charged the enemy."
"Comrade Major," Sokov waited for Gavrilov to finish speaking, raised his hand and patted his arm, and said with a smile: "Now that the war is over, you have to adapt to a peaceful life again. After the war,
In the reconstruction work, I believe you can also make great achievements."
The following program consisted of dancing, singing, and occasionally a drama. In this way, more than an hour passed without realizing it.
Sokov suddenly saw Ustinov sitting in the front row stand up, bend down and say something to a leader in civilian clothes next to him. Sokov realized that Ustinov might be leaving.
He greeted Asiya in advance: "Asiya, Comrade Ustinov wants to talk to me alone later, so please come with me."
"Forget it." But his proposal was rejected by Asya: "Since Comrade Ustinov wants to see you, he must have something very important to tell you, so why should I go there? I'll wait until the performance is over.
Finally, I will go home by myself."
Asiya was pregnant now and it was a bit difficult to walk. Sokov could not trust her to go home alone, so he hesitated and said, "How about I go talk to Yasha later, and I'll talk to Wu another day."
Meet Comrade Stinov."
"How can this be done?" Asiya said with a bit of laughter after hearing this: "What is the identity of Comrade Ustinov? If he meets you alone, he must have something important to explain. How can you change the time casually? Don't worry.
, I am not a child, I will go home by myself after the show is over."
"Comrade General," Gavrilov next to him suddenly said: "If you can trust me, then let me escort Asiya home, how about it?"
When Sokov heard this, it was okay. In his mind, Gavrilov was a trustworthy person, and it would be best for him to escort Asya home. He nodded and said: "
Well, Comrade Major, please send Asiya home after the performance."
Seeing Yakov waving to him, Sokov walked over quickly.
Unexpectedly, Yakov looked at Sokov with a strange look, and then asked: "Misha, why don't Major Asiya and Major Gavrilov come over?"
"Yasha, aren't you saying that Comrade Ustinov has something important to ask me for, so it won't be convenient for them to follow me?"
"It's nothing inconvenient, call them all." Yakov said to Sokov: "Comrade Ustinov is just saying a few words to you in the car outside, and I'm afraid he will leave by then.
I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to come in and find Asiya again. So the best way is to call them in, and after the conversation is over, you can go home."
"Okay then." Seeing that Yakov had considered all the issues that should be considered, Sokov suddenly felt more at ease. He quickly returned to Asiya and Gavrilov and said to them
The man said: "You come with me."
Asiya asked strangely: "Misha, didn't you say that Comrade Ustinov wanted to talk to you? Did he change his mind?"
"No, Asya." Sokov explained to Asya: "Yasha said that Ustinov would chat with me for a few words at the entrance of the park, and he would leave after the conversation, without much delay.
Time. If I want to come back at that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in here again, so let me call you."
