Rusov felt that this matter was of great importance, and as soon as he returned to the regiment command post, he immediately reported the matter to Fomenko in detail through the radio.
After reading the telegram, Fomenko was so angry that he slapped his face hard on the table and said angrily: "It's too much to bully others. It's simply too much to bully others."
When Sokov saw Fomenko getting angry, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "General Fomenko, what happened to make you so angry?" According to Sokov's idea, it was probably the Rusov regiment fighting.
It was unfavorable and even lost part of the position, so Fomenko had such a big reaction.
Fomenko came to Sokov with the telegram and said angrily: "Comrade Commander, look at the telegram sent by Colonel Rusov. The Special Service Section of the 7th Guards Army went too far.
There's trouble in my unit."
Sokov received the telegram in confusion, only glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but became furious. He never dreamed that the special service section of the 7th Guards Army would go to Rusuv to cause trouble, which almost caused moral turmoil in the military.
.
"Comrade Commander," Fomenko asked tentatively after Sokov read the telegram: "Do you think we should talk to General Shumilov and tell him about this?"
"Well, I will get in touch with the headquarters of the 7th Guards Army immediately." Sokov said expressionlessly: "Let's talk to General Shumilov about this."
The operator quickly helped Sokov contact Shumilov. Sokov ignored the pleasantries and said straight to the point: "General Shumilov, I am contacting you right now to file a complaint."
"Complain?" Sokov's words confused Shumilov, and he asked in confusion: "What complaint?"
"General Shumilov," Sokov tried to control the anger in his heart, tried his best to use a calm tone, told Shumilov what happened, and finally said: "I hope you can restrain you
My subordinates should not cause trouble in my army again. If it affects the morale of the army, it will bring immeasurable consequences."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Sokov said, Shumilov sighed and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, General Sokov, I'm afraid I can't fulfill your wish."
"Why?" Sokov asked puzzled.
"The reason is very simple. The members of the special service section of the group army are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Shumilov said with a wry smile: "Although the section chief is only a major, he will choose to refuse to execute many of the orders I give.
, I can’t do anything against him. In this incident, I guess the Special Service Chief is good at making decisions.”
"Oh, that's it, I understand." Since Shumilov had already stated that he had no binding force on Tytenko, Sokov didn't want to tangle with him anymore, so he said politely: "I'm sorry, Shumilov."
General Love, excuse me."
Fomenko, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation between Sokov and Shumilov. When he saw Sokov handing the earphone and microphone back to the operator, he couldn't help but asked nervously: "Comrade Commander, now
Even General Shumilov can't restrain them, so what should we do next?"
Perhaps because he was worried that Sokov would not pay attention to this matter, he also emphasized: "If they go to the army to cause trouble again, I am afraid it will have an adverse impact on our military morale and morale."
"General Fomenko, don't worry." Sokov also felt helpless at this time. He returned to the table and sat down, picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
While striking a match, he said to Fomenko: "I will find a way to solve this problem."
Fomenko, who had received Sokov's promise, could not continue to urge Sokov. He could only nodded silently, and then returned to his command position, studying the next move of the troops with the division chief of staff.
While Sokov was smoking, he was thinking about how to solve this problem. This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter. If Konev or Zhukov comes forward, it seems to be a bit too big a fuss.
After finishing a cigarette, Sokov had not thought of any good ideas. As soon as he put out the cigarette butt, the division political commissar Manoxin came over and said with a smile: "Comrade Commander, our group army has the best environment.
Although there is a special service department, it has never done anything like this to disturb the morale of the military."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Sokov, who was thinking hard, suddenly had a bright idea in his mind after hearing what Manoxin said. He quickly stood up and patted Manoxin heavily on the shoulder.
After two clicks, he said emotionally: "Colonel Manoxin, thank you, thank you for letting me think of a way to solve this matter."
But when Manoxin heard what Sokov said, he looked confused and muttered to himself: "What did I say? I can actually make Comrade Commander think of a way to solve this problem?"
In fact, Sokov's thinking is very simple. The reason why Teqinko never causes trouble in his army is entirely because of the existence of Lunev. This military commissar of his is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his previous position was the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Although the deputy minister is not a top-ranked deputy minister, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. He is undoubtedly the best candidate for this matter.
He ordered the communications team to connect the phone to the headquarters. When Samyko's voice came from the receiver, Sokov asked bluntly: "Comrade Chief of Staff, where is the Military Commissar General Lunev?"
When Samyko heard Sokov's voice, he thought that the other party would give him some important instructions, but he didn't expect that the first thing he said was to ask where Luniev was? He hesitated for a moment and replied: "
Report to the Commander, Comrade Military Commissioner, together with a group of political workers, went to the grassroots units to do propaganda and agitation work."
Knowing that Luniev was not at the headquarters, Sokov could not help but feel a little disappointed, but he said unwillingly: "Comrade Chief of Staff, if we send someone to find him, how long will it take for him to come back?"
"I'm not sure about that, Comrade Commander." Samyko replied with some embarrassment: "I don't know now whether he is in the city of Kremenchug or whether he went to the landing site on the right bank. If he is in the city, half of the
We can get him back in an hour; but if we go to the landing site on the other side, it may take a few hours at the earliest."
"Chief of Staff, I have important matters to discuss with the Military Commissar." Sokov told Samyko on the phone: "Send someone out to search immediately, and be sure to have Comrade Military Commissar come back to pick me up as soon as possible."
phone number. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Comrade Commander, I will send personnel immediately..." As soon as Samyko said this, he saw Lunev slowly walking in from the door with his hands behind his back. Seeing Lunev's appearance, he couldn't help but look at him.
He flashed his light and quickly said into the microphone: "Comrade Commander, there is no need to send people to look for him. Comrade Military Commissioner has already returned."
When he learned that Luniev had returned to the headquarters, Sokov couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then told the other party: "Chief of Staff, ask Comrade Military Commissar to answer the phone immediately."
Samyko agreed, covered the microphone with his hand, and shouted to Lunev who had just entered the door: "Comrade Military Commissar, the commander is online. He has important matters to discuss with you."
After hearing that Samyko said that Sokov had something important to ask of him, Lunev did not dare to neglect him. He rushed to Samyko in a few quick steps, took the microphone in his hand, and put it to his ear excitedly.
Said: "Hello, Comrade Commander! When do you plan to return to the headquarters?"
"I will be able to return to the headquarters tomorrow at the latest. As more and more troops of the 7th Guards Army cross the river, we can safely hand over this area to them and then withdraw to the landing site on the right bank." Sokov said briefly.
After introducing the situation of the troops, he went straight to the topic: "Comrade Military Commissar, I called back to the headquarters because I have important matters to see you."
"You have something important to ask me?" Lunev asked curiously: "What is it?"
"Comrade Military Commissar, every army group has a special service section composed of personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?"
"Yes, this is a regulation of the Supreme Command. Each group army must have a special service section composed of members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Lunev didn't know why Sokov suddenly asked about this, and he couldn't help feeling.
Zhen Faxu: "Comrade Commander, since I arrived at the 27th Group Army, I have been restraining the Special Service Section so that they will not do anything extraordinary. You suddenly asked them today if something went wrong?"
"Not long ago, three officers of the Special Service Section ran to the defense area of Russov Regiment in Jinji Town, and detained two soldiers in the name of identifying traitors and cowards." Sokov said with a sneer: "And these two
The reason why the soldiers were detained was simply that several leaflets distributed by the Germans were found on their bodies during body searches."
"What on earth is going on?" Lunev asked Sokov with some excitement and explained: "Comrade Commander, is there any misunderstanding in this? You know, all members of the Special Service Section under the group army are now here
How could it be possible to go from the city of Kremenchug to the town of Jinki, which is hundreds of kilometers away?"
"Comrade Military Commissar," Luniev's attitude made Sokov very satisfied. He waited for the other party to finish speaking before he said leisurely: "The three special service officers who ran to the defense area of the Rusov regiment are not from our group army.
, but belongs to the 7th Guards Army of General Shumilov."
When Lunev heard this, he couldn't help but get angry: "What the hell, why did the Special Service Section of the 7th Guards Army come to our troops to cause trouble?" After saying this, he paused for a moment and asked tentatively, "
Comrade Commander, can you confirm that he is from the Special Service Section of the friendly forces?"
"That's right," Sokov replied firmly, "I'm sure of that."
"Now that you can confirm, this matter will be easier to handle." Lunev said into the microphone: "I will contact the special service section of the 7th Guards Army and have a good chat with their person in charge to avoid something like this happening again in the future.
thing."
Although Sokov knew very well in his heart that as long as Lunev was willing to use his original identity to come forward, these small things would be nothing. However, out of caution, he still asked tentatively: "Comrade Military Commissar, can you really
Are you done with this?"
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Lunev assured Sokov firmly: "Although I no longer hold the position of Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I still have the right to speak in front of these heads of the Special Service Section.
It’s a little weighty. Even if the other party refuses to listen to my persuasion, I can still use other methods to make him obedient."
Sokov did not have the slightest doubt about Lunev's statement. In any case, the other party was once the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Below a few people, more than ten thousand people, he had to teach a small secret agent Koko a lesson.
Commander, that is not a trivial matter. He hummed softly and said into the microphone: "Comrade Military Commissar, then I leave this matter to you."
"You're welcome, Comrade Commander." Lunev said with a smile: "This is all my responsibility. It is my responsibility to solve your problems."
After finishing the call with Lunev, Sokov looked up at Fomenko standing in front of him and said to him with a smile: "General Fomenko, this matter will be handled by Comrade Military Commissar. I believe he will get a satisfactory answer."
.By the way, how is the situation of your troops? Have you handed over defense to friendly forces?"
"Comrade Commander, I am about to report to you." Fomenko heard Sokov asking himself, and quickly straightened his body and replied: "The defense in Chigirin City has been completely handed over to General Vasilenko.
The 15th Guards Division. The defense of Jingji Town is being handed over to the 222nd Guards Regiment, and it is estimated that it will take at least an hour to complete."
When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help but frowned: "General Fomenko, what's going on? Why is the transfer of the defense of Jinji Town so slow?"
"There is a reason for this, Comrade Commander." Fomenko said with a solemn expression: "Colonel Rusov reported to me that he plans to collect and bury the remains of all fallen commanders and combatants before leading the troops to withdraw from Jinji Town.
"
After understanding the reason for the slow movement of the Russov regiment, Sokov said sternly: "Colonel Russov did the right thing. As long as conditions permit, we must bury the remains of our fallen comrades properly and never let them be exposed in the wilderness. Fu
General Menko, I think this should become a tradition for us in the future and should be maintained from beginning to end."
"Understood, Comrade Commander." A glimmer of light flashed in Fomenko's eyes. He nodded vigorously and replied, "I will convey your order to every commander and fighter in the entire division."
Since the retreat of the Rusov Regiment had to be delayed, Sokov's original plan also had to be adjusted accordingly. He picked up the phone on the table, connected to Koida's division headquarters, and said to him: "Colonel Koida
, the situation has changed, you immediately ordered Lieutenant Colonel Majevo's 562nd Regiment to suspend their retreat and stay in place and standby."
"Ah, stand by where you are?" Koida asked in surprise: "But I have already given the regiment a retreat order. Now ordering them to stay where they are, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary chaos."
"Colonel Koida, if you issue the order to stop the retreat right now, I believe the chaos you are worried about will not occur." After Sokov said these words, he felt that Koida should be informed to stop the retreat.
He added: "Russov's regiment was delayed by some things. The original retreat time has to be postponed. The 562nd regiment stayed behind to accommodate their retreat."
After Sokov's explanation, Koida understood the reason for stopping the retreat, and hurriedly expressed his position to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I immediately issued an order to the troops to stop the retreat. I assure you that we will definitely lead the troops."
Together with the Russov regiment, we retreated to the original landing site."
