Rokossovsky learned about Sokov’s dispatch of troops to search for lone enemies nearby through his own unique information channel. He said to Malinin: “Comrade Chief of Staff, I think Mischa’s approach is good. That’s it.
We should take advantage of the fact that the German troops have been dispersed and lost their organizational structure to encircle and suppress them. If they are allowed to escape back to the defense zone in the west, we will probably have to pay a high price if we try to eliminate them again."
"Comrade Commander," Malinin also agreed very much with Sokov's approach. He suggested to Rokossovsky: "Our army's fierce offensive has led to the defeat of many organized German troops. Now they have become
Thousands of unorganized German officers and soldiers are scattered in our army's defense area. All troops should learn from Sokov and send troops to search and eliminate lone enemies, thereby reducing the combat pressure of our army in the next stage.
.”
"I think it's okay." Rokossovsky agreed with Malinin's proposal. After all, although there are a lot of German troops scattered in his defense zone, they are all scattered troops, and most of them have been lost.
Even if you can piece together one or two troops of several hundred people, it still won't make a difference: "You immediately call several group army commanders and ask them to also mobilize troops to organize search teams in the defense area to eliminate lone soldiers.
enemy."
In fact, even if Rokossovsky did not issue such an order, the commanders of various group armies fighting in different areas also found that a large number of lone enemies appeared in their defense zones. The measures they took were similar to Sokov's.
, they all sent out organic troops to form search teams into forests or swamps to search for lone German officers and soldiers.
At this moment, they received an order from the front army headquarters and learned that Rokossovsky planned to completely eliminate these enemies in the defense area. They sent more troops and formed more search teams to search for possible enemies nearby.
Sokov was worried that there were still sporadic German stragglers in the Brest Fortress, so even if he captured the fortress, he still did not move his headquarters to the fortress, but continued to stay in the city of Brest to command the troops.
That day, when he and Ponejelin returned from inspecting the troops, when they got out of the car, they missed their footing and fell directly to the ground. When the surrounding soldiers saw Sokov falling, they all gathered around him, but in the end it was Koshkin who took the lead.
Taking one step, he helped Sokov up from the ground and asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, are you not injured?"
Sokov felt a dull pain in his right leg, and it was possible that his fall had caused the wound to burst. But he did not want to mention this casually outside, lest it affect the morale and morale of the troops, so he gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, I have nothing to do."
"
Ponijelin, who was sitting in another car, saw Sokov fall and quickly walked over and asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, are you not injured?"
"This is not the place to talk." Sokov looked at the other party and whispered: "Let's go back to the headquarters first."
When entering the headquarters, Sidorin saw that Sokov was limping in with the support of Koshkin and Ponedelin, and hurriedly came up to him and asked: "Comrade Commander, what's going on?
Are you injured?"
Sokov grinned and endured the pain and said: "When I got out of the car, I accidentally stepped on the wrong foot and hurt my leg."
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Ponedelin said to Sidorin: "Didn't there be a medical team from Moscow yesterday? Call them quickly and ask them to send someone over to check on Comrade Commander."
"Okay, Comrade Deputy Commander." Seeing that Sokov was injured, Sidorin was also anxious. He quickly picked up the phone and called the new medical team, asking them to send two people over to help Sokov.
Husband checked the injury.
A few minutes later, two female medical staff wearing white coats and carrying medical kits walked in from the door. As soon as they entered the door, Sidorin greeted them and asked: "Are you from the medical team?"
"Yes, Comrade General." One of the female medical staff replied bluntly: "We are the medical team from Moscow. I wonder where the wounded are?"
When Sidorin led the two men to the corner of the headquarters, Sokov was sitting on a camp bed, covered with a blanket. Sidorin pointed to him and said to the two of them: "Here, this is our commander.
The officer accidentally fell when he got out of the car, please check him quickly."
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, he saw the female medical staff who spoke standing there in a daze. Seeing that the other person did not move, Xidorin quickly repeated what he had just said: "When our commander got off the car, he
He accidentally fell and the wound on his leg burst open, please help him check it out."
But after he finished speaking this time, he heard the female medical staff ask with a trembling voice: "Misha, are you Misha?"
Sokov, who was sitting on the camp bed, looked at the female medical staff in white coats and masks in front of him and said with a blank look: "Yes, I am Misha. Are you?"
The female medical staff suddenly took off her mask and said excitedly: "Misha, I am Tonya, don't you recognize me?"
"Tonya?!" Hearing this name, Sokov was in a trance for a moment, and then asked with a look of shock: "Is it the Tonya from the Lenin Street Military Hospital?"
"It's me, it's me." Dongnia nodded vigorously and said in a positive tone: "Misha, it's me."
"Why are you here?" Sokov felt that he had not seen Tonya for more than two years since she went to the front line, and he had almost forgotten what she looked like.
"Our hospital has organized a medical team to support the front line," Dongnia explained: "I thought that I have been running around on various fronts for more than two years and have become accustomed to this kind of life. I am not used to it if I continue to stay in the hospital.
, so he signed up to join the medical team.”
"I'm talking about comrade military doctor." Seeing that Tonya and Sokov had been talking for a long time, Ponedelin couldn't help but remind her: "Why don't you check the injury of our commander first, and then talk about old times later?"
Late."
Ponedelin's words reminded Tonya of her job, which was to check Sokov's injuries. She quickly put on her mask again and said to Sokov who was sitting on the cot: "Misha, I
Let me check you right away, where is your wound?"
Sokov lifted the blanket covering his legs, revealing the bloody bandage, and told Tonya: "When I got out of the car, I missed my footing and accidentally fell, which caused the wound to burst. My
The hygienist saw that my wound was bleeding and simply bandaged it for me. Can you please help me treat the wound?"
When Tonya carefully untied the bandage, Sokov still felt pain, but in front of Tonya and his subordinates, he still gritted his teeth tightly and did not cry out in pain.
"Misha," Tonya asked tentatively after cleaning Sokov's wound with hydrogen peroxide and re-suturing it: "I want to inject you with a special anti-inflammatory drug. I wonder if you are allergic. Before the injection
I want to do a skin test."
"What kind of anti-inflammatory drug?" Sokov asked, "Is it penicillin?"
When Tonya heard what Sokov said, she showed a shocked expression on her face: "Misha, you actually know about penicillin?"
"Yes, Tonya." Sokov nodded and said: "When I was hospitalized in Moscow last year, I used this special anti-inflammatory drug from the Allied Forces. Don't worry, I am not allergic to this drug. You
You can use it with confidence.”
After Tonya gave Sokov the penicillin injection, she originally wanted to sit down and talk about old times, but a male medical staff ran in from outside and said to Tonya: "Comrade military doctor, we encountered a seriously injured person here and we need to carry out treatment."
Emergency surgery, the captain asked me to ask you to come over and help."
When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He said to himself that when he was in Moscow, he invited Tonya to his home. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the hospital, a male doctor came over and called Tonya, saying that she was lucky.
Two seriously injured people were injured and needed emergency surgery, so they called her back. Now Dudonia just wanted to sit down and talk to herself about old times, but ended up on another rescue mission.
Although Sokov wanted Tonya to stay in his heart, considering the wounded who were in urgent need of treatment, Sokov could only harden his heart and said: "Donia, since there is an operation waiting for you, then hurry up and
Click here. When you are free one day, it won’t be too late for us to catch up on old times.”
After Tonya took the people away, Sidorin came over and asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, who is this female military doctor? It looks like you are very familiar with her?"
"Comrade Chief of Staff, you should know that I have a house in Moscow, which was awarded to me by my superiors. It is located on Lenin Street." Sokov organized the vocabulary in his mind, and then said: "And this person's name is Tony.
Ya's female military doctor happens to work in the military hospital across the road, and I met her when I went to see a doctor."
The previous contents are all true, but the process of meeting Tonya was not like Sokov said, they met while seeing a doctor. Instead, he went to the hospital to borrow a phone number to contact Yakov, because he could not find anyone.
Dongnia, who was sitting on a bench in the corridor in a daze, happened to pass by, thinking she was feeling uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to ask, and the two got to know each other.
After listening to Sokov's story, Sidorin and Ponedelin looked at each other and asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, I wonder if Asya knows about her existence?" The reason for his question is
I am worried that if there is any story between Sokov and Tonya, it will be troublesome if Asiya knows about it.
"Comrade Chief of Staff, I understand what you mean." Sokov said with a wry smile: "She and I knew each other for only one day, and she was selected into the medical team sent to the frontline for support. She and I have been together for two years.
I haven’t seen her for a long time. If she hadn’t taken the initiative to greet me just now, I wouldn’t have recognized her.”
When Sidorin heard this, he felt at ease. You must know that there are many people in the 48th Army who know Asiya. If something really happened to Sokov and Tonya, if the news spread back to Moscow, let
Asiya knew that it might cause unnecessary trouble.
"Misha, Misha." Yakov's anxious voice came from the door: "Where are you?"
"I'm here!" Sokov, who was sitting on the camp bed, quickly called to him: "Yasha, what do you want from me?"
Yakov quickly walked up to Sokov, lifted the blanket covering his legs, looked at the bandaged wound, and said, "I heard you were injured. Come over and take a look. Why?
So, is the injury serious?"
"I accidentally fell when I got out of the car, causing the original wound to burst." Sokov said with a smile: "Now a military doctor has come to help me deal with it, and there is nothing wrong. Don't worry."
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay." Yakov dragged a stool, sat down beside Sokov's bed, and then said, "Misha, I'm here to tell you two things."
"What two things?"
"I just got the news that General Rokossovsky will be promoted to marshal." Yakov lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the marshal uniforms are ready. The news will be officially announced in two days."
"What, General Rokossovsky is going to be promoted to marshal?" Ponedelin asked in surprise: "General Yakov, is this news reliable?"
Sokov naturally knew that due to the great success of Operation Bagration, Rokossovsky was promoted to the rank of marshal in the later period after the battle. Seeing that Ponedelin expressed doubts about this matter, he quickly said:
"Comrade Deputy Commander, since this news came from Yasha, I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
Ponedelin thought about it carefully and found that what Sokov said was very reasonable. If someone else had told this news, it might have been a lie. But since Yakov had said it, it shouldn't have happened.
The problem is, after all, where is his identity, who dares to pass on false news to him.
"Yasha, what's one more thing?" Sokov continued to ask.
"Now that you have conquered the Brest Fortress, my mission here has come to an end. I will transfer the two super heavy artillery battalions to other locations after tomorrow." After Yakov finished speaking,
After pausing for a moment, he added: "By the way, Colonel Belkin and his hovercraft unit also left with me."
When he learned that the super heavy artillery battalion was leaving, Sokov felt very sad. You must know that no matter how strong the German defenses were, they would not be able to withstand the bombardment of such super heavy artillery for long.
"That's such a pity," Sidorin said on the side: "Without the support of this super heavy artillery, if we encounter strong German defenses in the future, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of casualties."
"General Sidorin, don't worry." Yakov comforted the other party and said: "If you encounter a situation that requires heavy artillery support, your superiors may send you another super heavy artillery unit. The 203 we used this time
The two types of howitzers, mm and 280mm, are not artillery with the largest caliber. As far as I know, our army also has 305mm artillery, which is used to bombard city walls like Brest Fortress. One shot can create a breach."
"Yasha, since you are leaving, who do you think can replace you as artillery director?" Sokov asked: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Let the deputy director temporarily manage the artillery unit first." During the period when Yakov was the artillery director, he also helped Sokov find suitable candidates, but regrettably, he found nothing in the end: "Maybe
One day your superiors will assign you a new artillery director."
"General Yakov," Ponedelin said to Yakov: "We plan to organize a farewell party for you and Colonel Belkin tonight. I hope you can attend on time."
