Sokov led the guard platoon and escorted the captured cooks back to the headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, Sokov ordered Samoilov: "Lieutenant, go and bring the two warehouse keepers over."
Soon, the two warehouse managers were brought into the headquarters. They thought they were brought here today to shoot them. They were so frightened that they knelt in front of Sokov and begged for mercy: "Comrade commander, please
Please don’t shoot us, give us another chance, and we will definitely redeem ourselves.”
"Who said you were going to be shot?" Sokov looked at the two frightened warehouse managers and said, "I brought you here today just to make you stand up."
When the two warehouse managers heard that they would not be shot, they hurriedly got up from the ground and stood in front of Sokov with their hands lowered and their heads lowered, listening to what he was going to say next.
"I called you here today because I want you to identify whether the person who assigned you the task is in the room." Sokov said, waving to the two of them: "Let's get started."
The eyes of the two warehouse managers swept over every soldier in the room. When they saw the tall cooking soldier, they glanced at him because he was wearing a soldier's uniform. But soon they realized
No, they turned their eyes back to him again. After a brief moment of surprise, the two of them pointed at the cook at the same time: "That's him."
"Are you sure you didn't admit the mistake?" Sokov glanced at Miyakotin and Makhmutov standing nearby, and deliberately asked the two warehouse managers: "If you admit the wrong person, you should know what the consequences will be."
"I know, I know." The two warehouse managers nodded vigorously like chickens pecking at rice. "We will never mistake him. He is the one. There is a black mole on the tip of his right ear."
When Samoylov heard this, he quickly walked over to take a closer look, and then loudly reported to Sokov: "Comrade division commander, there is indeed a black mole on the tip of his right ear."
"Okay, take these two warehouse managers down."
After Miyakotin and other soldiers took away the two warehouse managers, they asked puzzledly: "Comrade Commander, I would like to ask, what mistake did this cook soldier in our division make?"
"Comrade Colonel, let me explain it to you." Vitkov interrupted: "The night before yesterday, the enemy attacked the hotel where General Zhukov was staying. Do you know about this?"
"I heard about it." Miyakotin nodded and replied, "But what does this have to do with my cooking soldiers?"
"The German officers and soldiers who attacked the hotel were all wearing the uniforms of our army. These uniforms were provided by the two warehouse managers who were just taken away." Vitkov looked at Miyakotin and asked: "But Comrade Colonel,
Do you know who gave them the order to prepare our uniforms for the Germans?"
When Miyakotin heard Vitkov ask this question, he couldn't help but feel moved: "Could it be that my cook soldier did it?"
"That's right." Vitkov nodded and continued: "In order to avoid exposing his identity, he deliberately changed into a captain's uniform. Yesterday, I called you specifically to ask you to join the army.
We are searching for people who match the characteristics. Why didn’t you notice that he was by your side?”
Facing Vitkov's question, Miyakotin replied with some embarrassment: "Comrade Chief of Staff, your notice said that you are looking for a tall soldier with a lame. He is indeed a tall man, but he does not walk with a limp.
Legs..."
Before Miyakotin could finish speaking, Makhmutov leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Comrade division commander, I forgot to tell you. This cook's feet were burned by boiling water a few days ago, so he was unable to walk.
I was limping a little bit."
Hearing what his political commissar said, Miyakotin was speechless. He blushed and said to Sokov and Vitkov: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, Comrade Chief of Staff, it's my work that's not meticulous.
, we didn’t even notice that the enemy was hiding around us, which almost led to a big mistake. Please criticize and punish me.”
"And me." Since Miyako Kyoto took the initiative to admit his mistakes to Sokov and the others, Makhmutov, who was the political commissar, naturally couldn't stand aside and not express his opinions. He said quickly: "I have discovered it a long time ago.
He walked with a limp, but he did not report the incident to the teacher immediately, which resulted in him getting away with it. I am also to blame."
"Okay, okay, you are all responsible for this, just be more careful next time." Sokov didn't want to punish any important commander before the war came, so he was ready to turn the big thing into a trivial one.
The two said: "I am going to interrogate this lurking enemy next. Do you want to stay and observe, or go back to your own troops?"
"I want to stay and observe." Miyakotin had just admitted his mistake to Sokov. How could he leave like this? He wanted to stay here and observe to find out whether there were any other lurking enemies in his army.
"Since you have found out, let me tell the truth." Seeing that his identity was revealed, the cooking soldier no longer concealed it, but said truthfully: "I turned out to be from the 16th Group Army. I was in Vyazi.
I was captured in the Battle of Ma. Later, the Germans went to the POW camp to recruit volunteers, saying they could survive. I was confused for a while, so I joined their Eastern Camp.
When the Germans attacked Stalingrad, because their attack was frustrated, they sent a large number of people like me to the city. I thought I would be incorporated into the infantry division, but unexpectedly I entered the artillery division and became an officer.
Cooking Soldier."
After figuring out the origin of the other party, Sokov asked again: "Tell me, how did you learn that General Zhukov came to Luhansk and formulated a plan to assassinate him?"
"The matter of General Zhukov in Luhansk has long been no secret in the army. In order to boost morale, the political workers even publicized it on different occasions to let everyone know that as long as Zhukov is there, there will be great success.
Quickly launch an attack on the German army, thereby rallying the morale of the troops and boosting their morale.
After we passed the news about Zhukov in Luhansk to the Germans through the radio, the Germans called back and said that they were preparing to send an airborne force into Luhansk and asked us to actively cooperate. I thought if they were wearing
The uniforms of the Soviet army would definitely be helpful to their operations, so they contacted their associates working in the clothing warehouse and asked them to prepare military uniforms."
"How did you hand over these military uniforms to the German paratroopers?" Sokov continued to ask.
"We have a contact point in the north of the city. After the two warehouse managers get the military uniforms, they will deliver the things to the contact point. Since there are no people living near the contact point, it is not easy for the German paratroopers to gather there and be discovered.
"
"Where is your contact point?" Sokov recalled what Sivakov told him, saying that the German paratroopers who were being tracked disappeared in the north direction of the city. It seemed that they hid in this contact point at that time. He picked up a
Zhang Chengcheng's map was handed to the cook: "Point it out to me!"
