Chapter 139 The former "friend" Yakov With the help of the firelight in the nearby German military fortification, Sokov saw clearly that the person talking to him in front of him was a man of medium build in a prison uniform with vertical stripes. Although his hair was disheveled and he had a full beard, he was still It can be seen that he is a handsome man. Sokov thought to himself: Who is this, why can he call out my real name and father's name? He felt that this person looked very familiar, and wondered whether he had seen this person before. Seeing that Sokov didn't speak for a long time, the man went on to say: "My God, you are really Misha, and you look exactly like Uncle Misha. Don't you know me? I'm Yakov what!" Hearing that the Russian spoken by this person was mixed with a thick Georgian accent, it would be too ridiculous for Sokov to be unable to guess the identity of the other party. He was about to speak when Seryozha ran over, squinted at Yakov, and said to him, "Major Sokov, the prisoner-of-war camp has been checked, and all the prisoners have been rescued. " Sokov didn't want Seryosha to know Yakov's identity, so he told him: "Since our mission has been completed, let's move it. Remember to transport all the wounded and sacrificed soldiers back. I will I will leave it to you, and you will do it yourself.” After Sergei was sent away, Sokov avoided all the soldiers, pulled Yakov aside and asked tentatively, "Yakov, how do you know my real name and father's name? Have we met before?" "Misha, what's the matter with you?" Yakov looked at Sokov and asked strangely. In terms of address, he didn't use the polite and distant "you" but the more intimate "you": "Don't you Have you really forgotten about me? You know, when I first came to Moscow from Georgia, I didn’t know a word of Russian, and I didn’t have anyone to accompany me. I stayed in a daze in a luxurious apartment every day. Then one day, Uncle Misha took you Come to visit my father, we met then, and soon became good friends. Don't forget, you taught me my Russian..." "What, Stalin's son and I are good friends?! I also taught him to speak Russian?!... What is this all about?!" Yakov said lightly, making Sokov feel a kind of insanity He even felt that he was dreaming, having an incomparably absurd dream, all of which were beyond the comprehension of normal people. The most regrettable thing for Sokov is that when he seized this body, he did not inherit the memory of the original owner. He can only learn about "his" past experiences through his old neighbor Sergey Sha. Seeing Yakov looking at him in amazement, he quickly covered up and said: "Yakov, you don't know, I was seriously injured in the bombing of the German army a few months ago, which caused my previous injury. All memory has become a blank." In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also pointed to the back of Seryozha in the distance, and said to Yakov: "The second lieutenant who just left is my old neighbor. He studied, worked together, and even joined the army with me, but After I was injured, I couldn't even recognize him as anyone, let alone anyone else."
After successfully persuading Yakov with this far-fetched explanation, Sokov continued: "Yakov, I learned that you were imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war camp in Dumini, so I brought someone here to rescue you. you." Yakov didn't believe Sokov's statement. He said in his heart, if I hadn't reminded you, you wouldn't even know who I am, and now you are here to rescue me. Who would believe this? But in any case, after all, others saved themselves from the tiger's mouth, and this friendship should be remembered. Thinking of this, he asked lightly: "Major Sukov, how did you know that I was locked up in this prisoner-of-war camp?" When Sokov heard that Yakov's name had changed, he guessed that the other party would not believe what he said, so he explained to him: "It's the second lieutenant Valerian who was captured with you. , incorporated into my unit, he told me." Hearing that Sokov mentioned Valerian, Yakov let go of his guard. He looked around and asked, "Where is he?" "During the battle just now," Sokov said with a serious expression, "he died in the confrontation with the enemy." After a brief silence, Yakov asked, "Misha, does he know about this rescue operation?" Knowing that the "he" Yakov mentioned was Stalin, Sokov quickly shook his head and said, "This rescue operation was decided on my own and I did not report it to anyone. The only one who knows the inside story of the operation is Three, including Valerian, who died." Yakov nodded, and then asked: "Misha, tell me, will he be angry about me being captured by the German army?" "Yakov, he will definitely be angry about your being captured." Sokov remembered that he had read in a document that not long after Yakov died in the prisoner-of-war camp, Stalin had a stroke. There is an inseparable connection between them. He decided to do his best to resolve the conflict between the father and son. So he looked at Yakov and said: "But he is more worried about your safety. As far as I know, he has sent several special operations teams to rescue you, but due to various reasons, they all ended in failure. gone." "Really?" Yakov grabbed Sokov's hand and asked excitedly, "Did he really send someone to rescue me?" "That's right, it's true." Sokov suddenly remembered that Yakov's capture made Stalin lose face. Although he sent people to rescue him in private, he never admitted it in public. This time I acted without authorization and successfully rescued Yakov. If I sent him back to Moscow with great fanfare, Stalin would not be able to step down in public. Thinking of this, he reminded Yakov carefully: "Yakov, the matter of your capture has been used by the Germans to make a fuss, so he did not publicly admit it, so as not to affect the morale and morale of the army. Therefore, you You can't make a big deal about being rescued, do you understand?" Yakov nodded after listening, and agreed with some reluctance: "I see." "Does anyone in this POW camp know you?" Hearing this question, Yakov frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Probably not, I was sent here just two days ago, and I was locked in a separate room. Anyone in there has ever spoken to." Knowing that no one in the POW camp knew Yakov, Yakov couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be good if no one knew him, so that no news would leak out. He took out the first-aid kit he carried with him and said to Yakov, "Yakov, I want to wrap a bandage on your face so that people who know you won't recognize you. Is that okay?" "Yes." Yakov readily agreed to Sokov's proposal. Because there were hundreds of prisoners of war rescued, the six sleds carried by the team could not fit in them, so everyone had to march on foot in the snow in the forest. After two days of walking on the road, I finally returned to the nameless highland. After Sokov ordered Seriosha to take the prisoners to rest, he took Yakov, whose face was covered with bandages, back to the battalion command post. As soon as he entered the command post, Belkin greeted him and said anxiously: "Comrade battalion commander, something has happened!"
