Seeing the busy construction scene on Mamayev Hill, Sokov was a little excited at first. He found a tree stump under the hill and sat and watched it for two hours, but then he felt a little boring.
At this moment, Asya, who was carrying a medical kit on her back, walked past Sokov and saw him sitting on a tree stump, looking up at the construction crowd on the hill with an expressionless face, and asked curiously:
"Misha, what are you doing?"
After hearing Asiya's question, Sokov pointed to the hill with his hand and said: "I am watching their construction. We are preparing to build a complete defense system on the hill so that even if the Germans attack,
Don’t worry anymore.”
Seeing Asiya sitting down next to him, Sokov asked curiously: "Asiya, why did you come here today? Isn't the health team busy with work?"
"No." Asiya shook her head and said, "The captain heard that our troops were going to work on Mamayev Hill. He was worried that someone would be injured during the work, so he asked me to bring two people over to keep an eye on it. Once he saw
If any soldiers are injured, they should be dealt with promptly."
After learning Asiya's origin, Sokov suddenly had a thought in his mind: "Asiya, look at today's formation, will anyone be injured at work? I think it's your captain looking at you.
The usual work is too hard, so I intentionally give you a day off to let you relax."
Regarding Sokov's statement, Asiya thought about it and felt that it still made sense. Today was just the first day of construction, so no one would be injured. The captain arranged this job for himself just to let him have a good time.
Time to rest. Thinking of this, she nodded slightly: "Maybe this is really the case."
"Asiya," Sokov said to Asiya, bored as he was sitting here, "Why don't we go shopping?"
Hearing Sokov talking about going shopping, Asya's eyes couldn't help but light up. You must know that since Khimki joined Sokov's army, the health team has been busy with endless work every day, so there is no time to go there.
Shopping. But her excitement only lasted for a moment, and her expression dimmed again. She shook her head and said, "Misha, this is not good. Others are working, so we go shopping. Is this appropriate?"
"There is nothing inappropriate." In response to Asiya's concerns, Sokov said carelessly: "I am the brigade commander, and I have the final say in matters in the brigade. If your captain wants to criticize you, let him come to me.
alright."
Shopping is a woman's nature, and Asiya is no exception, but she still has some concerns: "Misha, if this is the case, there won't be any soldiers gossiping, right?"
"If they want to say it, let them go." Sokov said, standing up and reaching out to pull Asiya up. He pointed his hand at a soldier standing next to him and ordered: "You go
Tell the political commissar that Asiya and I will go to the city and he will be in charge of the work here."
After the soldier left, Sokov said to another soldier: "Go get the jeep!"
A few minutes later, the jeep Sokov and Asiya were riding in headed towards the city center. The reason why Sokov proposed going shopping on a whim was not simply because he wanted to go shopping with Asiya, but because he considered
In the next battle, the infantry brigade's combat area will definitely not be limited to Mamayev Heights. It may also participate in battles in the city center or factory areas. Today is a good time to take advantage of the opportunity to go shopping.
Get familiar with the terrain.
After the jeep entered the city center, Sokov saw that the stone slabs on the sidewalks on both sides of the street had been pried up and piled aside, and countless residents were wielding tools to dig trenches on the sidewalks.
Seeing this scene, Asiya couldn't help but said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Stalingrad was also preparing for war. Misha, you see the residents are busy repairing the fortifications. The shops in the city must be closed. Even if
If you want to go shopping, there’s no place to go. I think we’d better go back.”
Hearing what Asiya said, the driver quickly looked at Sokov through the rearview mirror. He was ready to turn the car around when the other party said back. However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement from the other party, and the driver was helpless.
If you don't, you can only continue driving.
When a five-story marble building appeared in Sokov's field of vision, Sokov sat upright, raised his hand and patted the driver on the shoulder. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the driver to turn his head, he said: "Take it.
Park the car and go to the department store in front."
The driver nodded and parked the car in the open space outside the department store. Fortunately, the residents in the city were busy repairing fortifications at the moment, and the front door of the building was empty. Even if the vehicles were parked randomly, it would not affect the normal traffic.
Sokov got out of the car, looked up at the marble building, and thought to himself: "Paulus was captured in the basement of this department store. Who will be in the headquarters if he decides to do it again in the future?"
Here, should I send a commando team to directly take away his headquarters and plunge the enemies in the city into chaos?"
"Misha!" After Asiya got off the car, she saw Sokov standing next to the car, looking up at the tall building in front of him in a daze, so she raised her hand and patted him on the back, and asked curiously: "
What are you thinking, standing here without moving for a long time? I said, are we still going in?"
Sokov turned to Asiya and smiled, then put his arm around her shoulders and walked towards the department store, saying, "Let's go, Asiya. Let's go in and take a look."
"Misha, what were you thinking just now?" Although Asiya followed Sokov's footsteps and walked in, she was always thinking about Sokov's rude reaction: "I see you staring at this building, are you there?"
He kept sneering, it was really scary. If there wasn't a driver standing next to me, I would have turned around and ran away in fear."
From Asiya's words, Sokov guessed that it must have been his expression just now, which frightened Asiya. He quickly covered it up and said: "Asiya, don't worry, I just want to build a building centered on this building."
The fire support point can definitely block attacks from several directions."
Seeing Sokov talking about fortifications again, Asiya couldn't help but smile lightly, reached out to hold his arm, and said with a smile: "Okay, Misha. Since you came shopping with me, don't
Think about fortifications. When you go back from shopping, you can think whatever you like, and I will definitely not interfere with you then."
The two entered the department store and found that it was deserted. Except for a few salesmen standing behind the counter, the rest were deserted. The salesmen who were huddled together chatting stopped talking when they heard someone coming in.
He looked towards where Sokov and the others were. Once he saw clearly that the people who came to the mall were just two soldiers, he lost interest and continued the topic he had just left.
Seeing that the salesperson was ignoring her, Asiya quickly shook Sokov's arm and said to him: "Misha, look at there are no goods in the mall, and the salesperson is not interested in working. Let's go shopping."
What do you mean, you should go back?"
When Asiya said this, she thought that Sokov would still be stubborn and wanted to continue shopping. Unexpectedly, this time Sokov actually nodded cooperatively and said: "Okay, since there is nothing to visit here, then
