"Comrade Commander, I suddenly had a bold idea." Koshkin looked at Sokov and said: "Maybe we can lay out a plan for the Germans and let them fall into the trap we set."
Koshkin's words aroused Sokov's great interest. He asked with great interest: "Comrade Captain, tell me, how do you plan to arrange the Germans?"
"Yesterday we took a patrol leader to the village. We were originally going to hand him over to Odzhansky for processing." Koshkin said: "But after learning about the situation later, you changed your mind and no longer dealt with this man.
second lieutenant."
"Koshkin, does the strategy you want to say have anything to do with the patrol captain?"
"That's right." Koshkin nodded, confirming Sokov's guess: "Didn't the village chief Jermont and Odzhansky's son both come back from the German-occupied areas? We can let this patrolman
Captain, find a way to get close to the son of Village Chief Jiemeng and provide him with some false information prepared in advance."
After hearing Koshkin's words, Ponedelin also came over and asked with a frown: "The patrol captain was almost punished by us. Is he willing to help us do this?"
"Let's check his tone first." Sokov said: "If he is unwilling, we will think of other ways."
"Comrade Commander, you can rest assured of this." Koshkin said confidently: "When I took him to the village yesterday, he thought he would be shot. Who knew that in the end you only criticized him a few words and even punished him?
I didn't even give it to him. Now he is very grateful to you."
Sokov was skeptical about Koshkin's statement, but at this moment when he was hiring people, he decided to talk to the patrol leader in person, and said to Koshkin: "Koshkin,
You call the patrol leader and ask him to come to my place."
"Comrade Commander, there is no way to make a phone call from where he is." Koshkin said, "I'd better go find him myself and bring him here."
"Well, then you go ahead."
After Koshkin left, Sidorin came over and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, is it appropriate to let a commander who made a mistake carry out such an important task?"
"Comrade Chief of Staff, I don't know either." Sokov shook his head and said with a wry smile, "But we have to try."
"I think Comrade Commander is right." Ponejelin said at the side: "Now the Germans have repeatedly sent reconnaissance personnel to our defense area to try to figure out our troop strength and defense situation. We can defend once and twice.
But we cannot effectively prevent the enemy every time. So we have to find a way to provide the Germans with false information that they can believe, thereby misleading them."
Ten minutes later, Koshkin came in from outside with the patrol leader.
Seeing so many senior commanders in the room, the patrol leader's legs could not help but tremble slightly, thinking that he was preparing to hold himself accountable.
"Comrade Second Lieutenant," Sokov saw the other person's panic, so he took the lead and said, "What is your name? You seemed to have said it once yesterday, but I didn't remember it."
"Daniel, Second Lieutenant Daniel." After the patrol leader stuttered out his name, he specifically added: "Comrade Commander, you said yesterday that you would not pursue that matter again. Do you want to go back on it?"
"Second Lieutenant Daniel," Sokov said with a smile: "Since I said I would not pursue that matter, I certainly will not pursue that matter."
"Then you called me here. What's the matter?"
When Sokov heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but frowned. He turned to look at Koshkin and asked displeasedly: "Captain Koshkin, didn't you explain the reason why you called him here?"
"No, Comrade Commander." Koshkin replied with some embarrassment: "I sent one of my subordinates to call him, and I waited for him at the door. As soon as he came, I brought him to see you. It was too late.
Tell him clearly what happened."
After figuring out the cause of the matter, Sokov turned his attention to Daniel again, smiled and said to him: "Second Lieutenant Daniel, don't worry. I called you here this time because I have a task for you. If it can be done,
Well, you might even get a medal."
For honor-loving Russians, receiving awards is even more important than their lives. Daniel, who was originally frightened, suddenly became interested when he heard Sokov said that he had a chance to receive a medal for the tasks assigned to him. He
He straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, please give me the order. I promise you that I will do my best to complete the task you assigned me."
"The situation is like this, Second Lieutenant Daniel." Sokov explained the things that had been discussed in advance to Daniel in detail, and finally asked: "How about it, are you confident in completing this mission?"
"Comrade Commander, if I understand correctly, you want me to get close to the son of the village chief of Jamon and find a way to provide him with false information?" Daniel waited for Sokov to finish and asked tentatively: "Yes.
Is that what you mean?”
"Yes, that's what it means."
"Understood," after receiving Sokov's affirmative answer, Daniel nodded and said, "I am willing to accept this task."
Seeing that Daniel accepted the task, Sokov smiled and nodded, and then ordered Koshkin: "Koshkin, send a few more people to protect Second Lieutenant Daniel and make sure to ensure his safety. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander, I will definitely ensure the safety of Second Lieutenant Daniel."
"Wait a minute, Comrade Commander." Unexpectedly, as soon as Koshkin finished speaking, Daniel waved his hands desperately: "I don't need anyone to protect me."
"You don't need anyone to protect you?" Sokov asked in surprise: "What if you are in danger?"
"I think there should be no danger." Daniel explained to Sokov: "You took me to the village yesterday. I believe many people saw it. In their eyes, I am a person who has violated military discipline. If
At this time, if I show up at Chief Jiemeng’s house to drink away my sorrows, I shouldn’t arouse any suspicion, right?”
Sokov thought about it and realized that what the other party said was correct. Most of the people in the village might have seen what happened yesterday. If Daniel appeared in the village again, the villagers would not have any doubts about him. Even if he went
It seemed logical to go to Jie Meng's house.
At noon that day, Lieutenant Daniel appeared in the village.
As expected, the villagers did not raise much alarm about Daniel's sudden appearance in the village. At most, they pointed at his back and muttered something in a low voice, saying that he had robbed Odzhansky's house.
Some things were taken away from me, and then my superiors escorted me to return them.
Daniel went directly to Jiemeng's house and unexpectedly found that the door was closed. He walked forward and knocked hard on the door. At the same time, he kept shouting: "Mr. Jiemeng, Mr. Jiemeng."
!Are you at home?"
At this moment, at Germon's house, Germon and his wife were having dinner with their son Henrik, asking him how his life was in the German-occupied area. A sudden knock on the door scared everyone in the house out of their wits.
.
Through the window glass, Henrik saw clearly that the person knocking on the door was actually a Soviet officer. He thought he was coming to arrest him, so he quickly pulled out the pistol in his waist and aimed it at Daniel through the window. Just as he was about to prepare
When he pulled the trigger, he was stopped by Jamon: "Don't shoot. Once the gunshot rings out, you will be exposed."
Henrik gritted his teeth and said: "The Russians outside are here to arrest me, and I can't just let them go."
"No, no." Germon saw clearly that the person knocking on the door was Second Lieutenant Daniel, who was brought to the village yesterday to confess his mistake. He quickly said to his son: "This man caught up with a German scout a few days ago.
At that time, he broke into Odzhansky's house and robbed a few pieces of clothing and some food. As a result, his superiors escorted him to the village yesterday to return the things to Odzhansky. In his case,
You will definitely be punished, so how could we come to arrest you?"
"But what is he doing in my house?"
"I don't know. I'll go out and ask." Jimon pushed his son aside and said, "You hide first, and I'll go out and ask what's going on."
After Henrik hid, Germon opened the door, opened his arms towards Daniel and said, "Ah ha, my friend, why are you free to visit my humble home today?"
"Hello, Mr. Germon." When Daniel knocked on the door, he noticed the movement in the house and guessed that Germon's son must be in the house. He deliberately said loudly: "Today is New Year, I am here to ask for a drink.
Drink, I wonder if you welcome it?"
"Welcome, welcome, of course you are welcome." Jiemeng said with a haha: "We usually can't invite distinguished guests like you. It is our honor to come to the door today. Stop standing at the door and hurry up.
Please come in."
Daniel stepped into the room and followed Germon and his wife to the dining room. He saw the knives and forks on the table and asked with a smile: "What, do you have guests at home?"
"No, no." After hearing what Daniel said, Jimon quickly waved his hands and denied, "Except for you, this distinguished guest, we have no other guests here at all."
"Since there are no other guests, why are there three sets of knives and forks?"
Germon looked at the knives and forks used by Henrik on the table, and couldn't help crying secretly, fearing that if Daniel continued to ask questions, the truth about his son at home would be exposed.
Fortunately, Daniel did not pursue the matter, but sat directly at the dining table and said to Germon: "Mr. Germon, please bring me a knife and fork."
"Yes, yes, I should get you a pair of knives and forks. Why did I forget about this?" Jiemen turned to his wife and said loudly: "What are you still waiting for? Why don't you give it to this gentleman quickly?"
Bring me a knife and fork."
Daniel took advantage of Germon's wife to get the knife and fork, picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured half a glass into an empty wine glass, then raised his head and poured all the strong wine in the glass down his throat.
"Mr. Second Lieutenant," Jermont asked respectfully, "I wonder how this wine tastes?"
"Good wine, indeed good wine." After Daniel put down the glass, he looked at Germon and said: "I heard that there is a vodka produced in Poland with a purity of 96 degrees. It can even be poured directly into a tank fuel tank to be used as fuel. No.
Do you know if you have this kind of wine at home?"
"No, no." Jimon shook his head and replied: "I don't have this kind of wine at home, and I have neither seen it nor drank it."
"It's a shame you haven't seen and drank it."
"Not everyone can drink this kind of high-concentration wine." Jiemeng said: "I heard people who have drunk this kind of wine say that after taking a sip, they suddenly felt as if someone was punching them in the stomach.
A punch. If a person with a weak constitution takes one or two mouthfuls, he may lose his life. Therefore, many people who drink this kind of wine drink it after blending it with low-alcohol wine, so that the wine is not so strong.
It’s intense.”
While the two were chatting, Germon's wife came in from outside, placed a set of tableware in front of Daniel, and said politely: "Sir, this is your tableware, please use it slowly!"
After Daniel thanked Germon's wife, he looked at Germon and asked: "Village Chief Germon, do you know if Odzhansky's son is back?"
Jamon just picked up the wine glass and was about to clink it with Daniel. When he heard his question, his hand suddenly trembled and a lot of wine spilled out of the wine glass. He hurriedly put the glass on the table and wiped the wine on the table with his sleeves.
, said insincerely: "I have no contact with him. I don't know if his son is back."
After hearing this, Daniel slapped his hands on the table hard and said in an angry tone: "It's all his damn son's fault. He actually wanted to help the Germans and even let Germans who were conducting cross-border reconnaissance live in his home.
I have to be punished. If I see his son, I will definitely kill him." In order to increase the deterrence, he even pulled out his pistol and slapped it directly on the table, scaring the Germon couple.
Shivering all over.
"Mr. Officer." Germon's wife clasped her hands and said to Daniel: "We don't know anything, please don't make it difficult for us."
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." Daniel put away his pistol and said to the two of them: "It was because of his family that I was punished, and it would even affect my future promotion. After I went back, I became more and more
If something goes wrong, prepare to come over and teach them a lesson. If I see Odzhansky's son, I will shoot him. He is cunning and did not come back during the New Year, otherwise he would have come here, but
There is no life left to go back.”
Daniel's words made Germon and his wife frightened. But Germon still had the courage to ask: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, if you really killed Odzhansky's son, I'm afraid you won't have anyone in your army."
If you can't wait any longer, what are your plans then?"
Upon hearing Jamon's question, Daniel did not answer immediately. Instead, he poured himself a glass of wine again, raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. Then he slammed the glass on the table and said: "
If I can't stay here any longer, the worst I can do is run over to the Germans. Based on the information I have, I believe the Germans will definitely welcome me."
Henrik, who was hiding in the house, was originally worried that Daniel was coming to arrest him, so he hid behind the door with a pistol in his hand and quietly listened to the movements outside. Once he found that something was wrong, he would shoot decisively. But wait
After he heard what Daniel said clearly, he couldn't help but have a bold idea in his mind. If he could instigate the Russian to rebel, wouldn't he be able to get the information the Germans wanted? If he returned to Germany with the information,
If we occupy the area, I am afraid that the Germans will look at us differently.
