Sokov's surgery lasted a full two hours before it was over.
Yakov, who was standing outside the door, saw military doctor Pavlov opening the door curtain and walking out with a tired look on his face. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Comrade military doctor, how is the situation of your brigade commander?"
"Because the shooting distance was very close and the bullet hit deep, it took a long time to get the bullet out." Pavlov grinned and said in a low voice: "Comrade Major, his life is not in any danger.
, you can rest assured.”
"Thank you, comrade military doctor." Sokov held the other person's hand and said excitedly: "Thank you for saving Misha's life. Can I go in and see him now?"
"Comrade Major, we may have to wait a moment." Seeing Yakov trying to break in, Pavlov quickly stopped him, "Asia will take someone to send him to a special ward soon. You still have to wait a moment."
Go to the ward to see him, there are still several operations to be performed here."
Pavlov's words stunned Yakov: "What, comrade military doctor, you just performed a two-hour operation, and you are not going back to rest, but are you going to continue the operation?"
"There is nothing we can do about it, Comrade Major." Pavlov said with a wry smile: "In the health team, including me, there are only five military doctors. Faced with so many wounded people who need surgery, we are simply too busy.
Working in the operating room for twenty or thirty hours is a common occurrence..."
While the two were talking, the door curtain was suddenly lifted, and a stretcher was carried out from the operating room. Asiya was holding the stretcher with one hand and holding a bottle of normal saline high with the other, and followed the stretcher step by step.
Seeing Sokov being carried out, Kov didn't care to continue talking to Pavlov, but asked directly to Asiya: "Asiya, how is Misha?"
Asiya glanced at Yakov, frowned and said: "The anesthetic has not worn off yet, and it may take a while to wake up. Comrade Major, if you are here to visit Misha, please follow us to the ward.
Don't stand here blocking the wounded who are about to be sent for surgery."
Faced with Asiya's unfriendly attitude, Yakov was not angry at all. Instead, he put himself in the other person's shoes. If his relatives were injured trying to save Sokov, he would not give the other person a good look either. He
After saying goodbye to Pavlov, he followed the stretcher to a separate ward not far away.
As early as when building the tunnel fortifications, Sokov considered that it would accommodate thousands of people, so he asked Ozor to divide the tunnel into two levels. The upper level was where the headquarters and troops were stationed; while the lower level was where the headquarters and troops were stationed.
There are various warehouses and hospitals. Among them, there are nearly a hundred wards of various sizes. The small one can only accommodate one person, while the large one can accommodate ten wounded people.
After the stretcher bearer entered the room, he placed the stretcher on the ground, and then under Asiya's command, he moved Sokov from the stretcher to the hospital bed. The medical environment in the tunnel is definitely not comparable to that of the military hospital in the rear. The so-called
The hospital bed was nothing more than a wooden board set up on two mounds, with sheets spread on it.
After the stretcher bearer left, Yakov walked to Asiya's side and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Comrade Asiya, it's all my fault. Misha was injured trying to save me..."
Although Asiya was extremely dissatisfied with Yakov in her heart, considering the identity of the other party and his friendship with Sokov, she said politely on the surface: "Major Yakov, I can't blame you. On the battlefield,
Injuries are inevitable."
Seeing that Asiya did not blame himself, Yakov felt a little calmer in his heart. He paused for a moment and asked tentatively: "Asiya, I wonder when he will wake up?"
Asiya raised her hand to look at her watch and said, "His anesthetic is about to wear off. If everything goes well, he will wake up in a few minutes at most."
Asiya and Yakov stood beside Sokov's bed. After waiting for a few minutes, they suddenly heard Sokov moaning. Asiya quickly squatted down next to him and shouted: "Misha
, Misha, I’m here!”
Sokov slowly opened his eyes and vaguely saw a person squatting next to him. Hearing the voice of the other person speaking, it sounded a bit like Asia. Sokov blinked hard several times and looked at the person intently.
He went and found that the person squatting next to him was indeed Asiya. He tried his best to put a smile on his face, and asked with some difficulty: "Asiya, why are you here?"
"Misha," Asiya felt relieved to see Sokov wake up, but she still blamed him verbally: "It was only a few days after you were injured last time, but you were injured again so soon.
Why aren't you more careful on the battlefield?"
Seeing Asiya worrying about him so much, Sokov felt very guilty in his heart. In order to reassure the other party, he deliberately said jokingly: "I'm sorry, dear, I forgot to dodge when I saw the bullets flying towards me."
Already."
Sokov's witty words made Asiya, who looked worried, burst into laughter. She raised her hand and punched Sokov lightly on the shoulder, pretending to be angry and said: "You are injured, and you are still like this."
His glib tone seems like it should hurt your mouth."
"It seems that I was injured in the wrong part this time," Sokov quickly pretended to suddenly realize it, and said to Asiya: "After the injury is healed, I will try it on the battlefield again to see if I can get rid of my mouth.
I was also injured once... Ouch!" Before he could finish his words, Asia squeezed his arm hard, causing him to scream in pain.
"I hate it. You are still a brigade commander and you talk nonsense all day long." After Asiya pinched Sokov hard, she said with a red face: "Major Yakov is also here, and I am not afraid of others laughing at you.
.”
From the moment he woke up until now, Sokov has been staring at Asiya next to him, not even noticing the presence of anyone else in the room. Only after Asiya reminded him did he see Yaya standing in the room.
Yakov quickly asked the other party: "Yakov, why are you here?"
"Misha," Asia turned to look at Yakov and explained to Sokov: "When you were undergoing surgery, Major Yakov had been standing outside the operating room waiting for you for two full hours.
.”
Hearing that Yakov had been waiting outside the operating room when he was undergoing surgery, Sokov was quite moved. He nodded to Yakov and said, "Yakov, thank you for your concern. I am now
It’s okay now.”
Yakov squatted down on the other side of Sokov and said: "Misha, you were injured because you were trying to save me. While you were undergoing surgery, it was only natural that I would wait for news from you outside.
.”
Sokov asked curiously: "Yakov, you must be bored waiting outside alone."
"It's not too boring." Yakov replied: "At the beginning, Political Commissar Belkin was waiting outside the operating room like me, chatting with me and so on..."
Sokov quickly scanned the room with the corner of his eye and found no trace of Belkin at all. He couldn't help asking nicely: "Where did the political commissar go?"
"While your operation was still going on, a soldier came to see the political commissar." Hearing Sokov's question, Yakov immediately thought of the soldier who came to report and whispered to Belkin. They went
Where and what to do? He had no idea at all, so he could only say tactfully: "I guess something happened in the brigade. Anyway, the political commissar left immediately as soon as he heard the report."
Sokov thought to himself: Logically speaking, if Sidorin can handle the affairs in the brigade headquarters alone, then the political commissar and Yakov will wait for the results of his operation outside the operating room. But Belkin suddenly suddenly
Something big must have happened before he left, otherwise he wouldn't have even had time to explain to Yakov.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Asiya and said in a stern tone: "Asiya, you call the political commissar immediately, inform him of my situation, and ask him to come to my place immediately."
Seeing Sokov's serious expression, Asia immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, quickly agreed, got up and walked out of the ward, and went to the duty area to make a phone call.
Yakov looked at Asiya's leaving figure and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Misha, I forgot to congratulate you, you got married without saying anything."
Sokov chuckled and continued: "Before the German army approached the city, one day I took Asiya to the city to inspect the defense. When I passed by a marriage agency, on a whim, I pulled Asiya in to register.
marry."
"Decided to get married on the spur of the moment?" Yakov couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he heard what Sokov said: "Misha, you are too hasty. You should at least say hello to your mother for this kind of thing, or even
You had to report it to your superiors, but you actually went to register without saying a word."
"Yakov, this is war time, and many things cannot be measured by pre-war standards." Sokov said unhurriedly: "I have also seen some soldiers and women who only knew each other for a few hours.
Just go to the marriage registration office. After they got the marriage certificate, they separated immediately. They might never have the chance to meet again. Even if both parties lived to get married during the war, they might still remember what the other person looked like.
It’s an unknown quantity.”
"Misha, have you ever thought about it?" Yakov reminded Sokov: "Asia is a nurse. The war is so fierce now. How can she work if she is pregnant?"
After hearing Yakov's concerns, Sokov stared at him for a long time, making the other party look a little embarrassed, and then he continued: "Yakov, we only registered at the marriage registration office, and now we are still in name only."
The couple above has not had any substantive contact yet, tell me, how could she possibly be pregnant?"
"Oh my God," Yakov said with an exaggerated expression after hearing what Sokov said, "I didn't expect that you are not a real couple yet..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sokov heard a set of footsteps heading towards his ward. He coughed twice and reminded Yakov: "Asiya is here!"
When Ya came over, Yakov hurriedly closed his mouth.
After a while, Asya quickly walked into the room. She said to Sokov with a panicked look: "Misha, it's bad, something big has happened!"
"Ah, something happened?!" Sokov heard what Asiya said and instinctively wanted to sit up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, he felt a needle-like pain in his abdomen. He snorted and lay down again.
, asked in a panic: "Asia, what happened?"
"Misha, don't move, be careful to open the wound." Asiya rushed to the bed, and after Sokov lay down, she said: "I heard that the superiors have appointed a new brigade commander.
to take your place."
When Sokov heard that his superiors had appointed a new brigade commander, he said disapprovingly: "Asia, my superiors know that I am injured and will not be able to command the troops in a short period of time. Appoint a new brigade commander to take over my position.
It’s a completely normal thing, there’s nothing strange about it.”
"I heard from a lightly wounded soldier that the reason why the superiors want to appoint a new brigade commander may be because they are dissatisfied with you and plan to take the opportunity to remove you from your post." Asiya told Sokov what she heard.
Those rumors: "It is said that after the battalion commanders got the news, they each brought people to the brigade headquarters to ask for an explanation. They brought hundreds of people and immediately surrounded the brigade headquarters."
"Hell, these battalion commanders are so brave that they dare to lead people to besiege the brigade headquarters. Do they want to rebel?" Although Sokov was furious after hearing this, he learned the lesson just now.
Still lying motionless on the board, he asked Asiya: "I asked you to call the political commissar, have you called?"
"Hit!" Asiya nodded vigorously and replied: "Comrade Political Commissar said that he will rush over in five minutes at most and give you a report on the ins and outs of this matter."
"Misha, lead troops to surround the brigade headquarters. The nature of this matter is a bit serious." As a senior soldier, Yakov has stayed in the army longer than Sokov, so he naturally knows the serious consequences of this matter.
, then reminded Sokov: "You must first think about how to deal with those officers who are causing trouble. If it is not handled properly, I am worried about the negative consequences."
"Yakov, I understand what you are going to say. If the superiors pursue this matter, the battalion commanders involved are in danger of being sent to a military court." Before Sokov knew the truth,
He did not express his opinion easily, but said ambiguously: "I think it is better to wait until the political commissar gets here and we find out what is going on, and then study countermeasures."
When Yakov heard what Sokov said, he guessed that the other party must have already thought about it, so he didn't say anything more. He just nodded, then got up and moved a wooden block by the wall, and sat next to the hospital bed to wait for Belgin's call.
