After Sokov put down the phone, he said to Lunev and Sidorin with a solemn expression: "Military Commissar, Chief of Staff, something happened. Yakov just told me on the phone that he had a meeting with Chernyakhov today.
On his way to inspect the 3rd Army, General Ski passed through the city of Merizak and was unexpectedly shelled by the Germans."
"What?" Sokov's words made Runev and Sidorin break out in a cold sweat. If someone else was being bombarded, they would just sigh with emotion at most, but now among the people who were bombarded, Yakov actually existed.
Everyone has some idea of how serious the consequences this will bring. Lunev asked nervously: "Is Yakov okay?"
"He said he was only injured by the shock and that the problem was not serious. General Chernyakhovsky's hands and feet were hit by shrapnel and are currently undergoing emergency repairs in the 3rd Army Field Hospital." Sokov said to the two men:
"The only person who died was General Chernyakhovsky's adjutant."
"Misha." Lunev realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly reminded Sokov: "Don't underestimate being injured by a shell. Some people seem to be fine on the surface, but they suffer serious injuries."
When internal injuries occur after a period of time, they cannot be saved even if they are tried."
Sokov agreed very much with Lunev's statement. He pointed at Sidorin with his hand and ordered the other party: "Comrade Chief of Staff, call our field hospital immediately and ask Asya to come to me immediately.
Come here."
Upon hearing Sokov's arrangement, Lunev immediately understood what he meant: "Misha, are you planning to ask Asiya to check Yakov?"
"Yes, that's how I think about it." Sokov said: "If I ask other military doctors to go to the 3rd Army Field Hospital to check Yasha, I'm afraid it will arouse the resentment of the other hospital. But I can send Asiya.
The situation is different. Yasha is my friend and Asiya is my wife. My best friend was injured, so I sent my wife, a military doctor, to visit him and give him a comprehensive examination.
I’m sure no one will say anything.”
"Misha, you are very thoughtful." Lunev gave Sokov a thumbs up: "It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for Asiya to go to the 3rd Army to visit Yakov on your behalf." He looked at it.
Glancing at Sidorin who was on the phone to the hospital, he said, "I'll call Koshkin and ask him to personally lead the team to escort Asya to the 3rd Army."
Koshkin used to be Lunev's subordinate. Since King Lunev returned, he naturally took over the security forces of the original Ministry of Internal Affairs. Koshkin and a security company from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were directly dispatched by Lunev.
.
The field hospital where Asya is located is a bit far away from here. Even if Asya takes action immediately after receiving the call, it will still take some time on the road. But Koshkin's situation is different. His office is only a few minutes away from the headquarters.
Therefore, shortly after Lunev put down the phone, Koshkin appeared in the headquarters.
Koshkin came to stand in front of Sokov and Lunev. After raising his hands in salute, he asked respectfully: "Commander, Military Commissar, what instructions do you have?"
"Koshkin," Lunev said to Koshkin: "The commander and I have an important task for you. You immediately return to the guard unit, select a group of capable soldiers, and prepare to set off.
Prepare. Once Asiya arrives, you will be responsible for sending her to the field hospital of the 3rd Army."
"What, go to the field hospital of the 3rd Army?" Koshkin asked in surprise: "Is Asia going to be transferred to the field hospital of the 3rd Army?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could you go there to work?" Lunev knew that Koshkin was familiar with Asiya and Yakov. Moreover, Asiya needed his protection this time when she went to the 3rd Army Field Hospital.
She didn't hide it from him, but said truthfully: "We just got the news that Yakov was attacked by German artillery on his way out today, and he seemed to be injured. We plan to let Asiya serve as Misha's representative."
, went to visit and conduct a physical examination on him to see if he had any internal injuries."
"General Yakov was shelled by the enemy while he was out and was injured?" Hearing the news, Koshkin asked with shock: "What on earth is going on? How could he be injured?"
"
"Captain Koshkin." Sokov interrupted the other party with a straight face, "Please pay attention to your identity and don't pry about things you shouldn't know. Your mission is to escort Asya safely to the third
Group Army Field Hospital. After she has finished examining Yasha, we will escort her back safely. Do you understand?"
Koshkin thought to himself, although you won't tell me the truth, as long as I get there, I will soon be able to figure out what happened. So when he heard Sokov ask himself, he answered loudly
He said: "I understand, Comrade Commander."
After answering, he turned around and left the headquarters, going back to arrange the personnel responsible for the escort mission.
When Asiya received a call from Sidorin, the other party did not explain anything, but just told her: "Asiya, come to the headquarters immediately. Comrade Commander has something important to tell you.
"
After Asiya received the call, she became anxious. Although she knew that Sokov rarely went to the front line nowadays, no one could guarantee that Sokov would not have a whim when the war was in full swing.
, ran to the front line to inspect. Sidorin called himself today. Could it be that Sokov was unfortunately injured when he went to the front line to inspect? When thinking of this, Asiya's hands and feet became weak and she couldn't even walk.
Fortunately, there were two nurses nearby who helped her get into the jeep parked outside.
When the car arrived outside the headquarters, Asiya had returned to normal. She thought that Sidorin just asked her to come to the headquarters and said that Sokov wanted to see her. He did not say what happened to Sokov. This meant that
Well, even if he is injured, I'm afraid it won't be fatal in a short period of time.
When she walked into the headquarters, the sentry at the door raised his hand and saluted her, his expression the same as usual. It seemed that there should be no problem in the headquarters, otherwise the outside would not be so peaceful. With such doubts, she
Stepping into the headquarters, he immediately saw Sokov standing at the table talking to Lunev and Sidorin.
"Asiya, you're here!" Sokov's sharp eyes saw Asiya who had just walked in, so he stepped forward and gave her a warm hug, and asked with concern: "Have you eaten?"
After Asya pushed Sokov away, she lifted up his clothes with her hands and checked whether there were any bandaged areas on his body.
"Asiya, what are you doing?" But the next moment, Sokov realized that Asiya may have misunderstood: "Asiya, you misunderstood, I was not injured, it was the chief of staff who did not make it clear when he called.
, the result is that you are worried."
Asiya saw that Sokov's face was red and he was confident when he spoke, but she had just checked briefly and found that there were indeed no wounds on his body. It seemed that he was not injured, but a false alarm. She looked at Sokov
He said unhappily: "Misha, do you know how busy I am in the hospital? There are so many wounded people to take care of every day, and there are so many operations to be performed. I wish I could only sleep for one or two hours a day. But that's it.
Even though you were busy, you asked the chief of staff to call me and ask me to rush over immediately and tell me something. You scared me so much that I thought you were injured..." At this point, Asiya clenched her fists and asked for help.
Koff punched him hard on the shoulder several times.
"Asiya, stop making trouble." Sokov grabbed Asiya's fist and said to her seriously: "I called you over because I have something important to give to you."
"What's the matter?" Asiya asked angrily, still angry.
"Yasha is injured." Sokov said: "I plan to let you visit him on my behalf."
"What, Yasha is injured?" After learning that Yakov was injured, Asiya, who was still a little bit temperamental, was suddenly shocked. She asked nervously: "How did Yasha get injured? Is the injury serious? Is it possible?"
Will it threaten life?"
Facing Asiya's series of questions, Sokov smiled bitterly and said: "Asiya, you ask so many questions at once, how should I answer you?"
"Then answer them one by one."
"Okay." Sokov nodded and began to answer Asiya's questions one by one: "Yasha was accompanying General Chernyakhovsky, commander of the Third Front Army, on his way to inspect the Third Army City. He passed by
The city of Merizak was suddenly bombarded by German troops. Chernyakhovsky was wounded, Yakov was wounded, and the general's adjutant was killed.
As for Yakov's injury, he told me that it was just a shock injury and nothing serious. I am worried that he may have internal injuries, so I plan to ask you to go to the 3rd Army Field Hospital on my behalf in the name of a visit and help him by the way.
Do a comprehensive examination to see if there are any internal injuries. You are a military doctor, and you will know after you complete the examination whether Yasha's injuries are life-threatening."
After figuring out what was going on, Asiya nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Misha, I'll go to the 3rd Army Field Hospital and give Yasha a comprehensive examination. But it's such a long journey,
Can you arrange for two people to give me a lift?"
Hearing what Asiya said, Lunev smiled and said: "Asiya, how can Misha rest assured if only two people are sent to escort you? He has arranged for Koshkin to take a company to escort you to the 3rd Army Field Hospital
.”
"What, asking Koshkin to lead a company to escort me to the field hospital of the 3rd Army?" Asiya said in surprise: "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"In extraordinary times, it is better to be cautious." Sokov said to Asiya: "The current location of the 3rd Army is not far from the German-controlled city of Merizak. I am worried that you will encounter the enemy on the road. If you are around
With only two or three people, I'm afraid I can't guarantee your safety. And with Koshkin leading a company, even if they encounter a small group of German troops, they can destroy them in a short time."
Soon, Asiya was escorted by Koshkin and drove to the field hospital of the 3rd Army.
Lunev stood at the window, looked at the leaving convoy, and said to Sokov: "Misha, do you think something will happen to Yakov?"
"I don't know." Sokov shook his head and continued: "But I hope he can be safe and nothing will happen to him, otherwise there will be serious consequences."
Runev agrees very much with Sokov's statement. Once Yakov has any shortcomings, I am afraid that the supreme commander himself will be furious. As for what he will do, it is hard to speculate. So at this moment, not only
Sokov and Runev were praying in their hearts that Yakov was safe, and countless others had the same idea as them.
When Gorbatov, commander of the 3rd Army, received a call from Rokossovsky, he was a little surprised. He was no longer under the command of the Second Front, so why did the marshal still call him?
He asked tentatively: "Comrade Marshal, what instructions do you have?"
"Gorbatov, I heard that General Chernyakhovsky was shelled by the German army on his way to inspect your place." Rokossovsky asked: "Is this true?"
"Yes, Comrade Marshal." Gorbatov knew such a big thing, and Rokossovsky, the commander of the front army, would know it sooner or later, so he did not hide it, but answered truthfully: "Commander of the front army
The soldier's arms and legs were hit by shrapnel, and he is currently receiving treatment in my field hospital. There should be no life-threatening danger."
"Besides General Chernyakhovsky, are there any casualties?"
"Yes, the general's adjutant was killed in the shelling." Gorbatov said: "There was also a new deputy chief of staff of the front army who was also injured in the shelling. However, his injury was not serious, he was just stunned.
Now I am resting in the room next to my headquarters."
"Do you know the name of your deputy chief of staff?"
Because Yakov had just taken office not long ago, not many people knew him. And Gorbatov's troops had just been transferred from the Second Front, so it was not surprising that they did not know him as deputy chief of staff. Therefore, hearing that Roko
After Sovsky's question, Gorbatov did not arouse corresponding alarm, but said with this expression: "I heard others call him Yakov."
After hearing that the injured deputy chief of staff was indeed Yakov, Rokossovsky's expression became serious. He raised his voice and said sternly: "Gorbatov, since you know this deputy chief of staff
The commander was also injured in the shelling. Why not send him to the hospital for treatment, but arrange to rest in your headquarters? If something happens to him, can you bear the responsibility? "
Although Rokossovsky is a marshal, he is not Gorbatov's immediate boss now, so when he heard the other party reprimanding him in such a harsh tone, Gorbatov was also very unhappy: "
Comrade Marshal, the Deputy Chief of Staff is being taken care of by a health worker. He looks fine and doesn't look like something is wrong at all. There is no need to send him to the hospital."
As soon as Gorbatov finished speaking, Rokossovsky slapped the table hard and said sternly: "General Gorbatov, I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, that deputy staff officer you don't care about
He is the eldest son of the Supreme Commander himself. If he does anything bad, you can probably guess what consequences it will bring even if I won’t tell you."
Even if a thunder exploded next to Gorbatov at this moment, it would never be as shocking as Rokossovsky's words. After being silent for a long time, he asked carefully: "Marshal
Comrade, what you said is true? Are you kidding me?"
"Gorbatov, do you think I would joke with you on such an important matter?" Rokossovsky said unceremoniously: "I have already said what needs to be said, and what is next?"
It's up to you how to deal with it." After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to speak again.
Gorbatov held the phone that had a blind tone and was stunned for a long time. When he came to his senses, he immediately called his military commissar: "Comrade Military Commissar, come on, follow me to the next door. Let's
The injured deputy chief of staff must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible for a thorough examination."
