Sokov also wanted to know who ambushed him, so he walked over with Bezikov and a few soldiers. He happened to hear Commander Zeng shouting at Staff Dong: "You idiot, you have to figure them out."
It’s not easy for people to have their identity, so take off their pants.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard what Commander Zeng said. Especially Staff Officer Dong, who scratched the back of his head and said, "Comrade Commander, why are you taking off their pants?"
"Didn't you say that dead people can't talk?" Commander Zeng said angrily: "I will show you how dead people talk. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take off the pants of these corpses."
Seeing that Commander Zeng was angry, Staff Officer Dong did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered people to take off the pants of the corpses.
Seeing the soldiers taking off the pants of the corpses, Bezikov couldn't help but asked Sokov in confusion: "Comrade, what are they doing?"
Sokov was puzzled by the decision made by Commander Zeng at first, but he soon figured out the purpose of the other party's doing so. When he heard Bezikov ask, he just smiled faintly, and then said:
"Comrade Major, don't worry, be patient, the answer will be revealed soon."
Soon, the trousers of the corpses were taken off, revealing the crotch cloths they were wearing. In this way, the comrades from Guan Nei understood Commander Zeng’s intention. Only little devils would wear crotch cloths, which shows that
The patrol that attacked the convoy was a kid pretending to be a convoy.
Commander Zeng and Political Commissar Tang brought Liu Dongmei to Sokov and said, "Lao Suokov, you have seen it. These people are wearing crotch cloth, which means they are not our Northeastern people."
People from the Autonomous Army.”
"Comrade," Bezikov looked at Sokov and asked in confusion after listening to Liu Dongmei's translation: "How can they rely on this to judge that the people who attacked us are imposters?"
"How do I put it?" Sokov stretched out two fingers and explained to Bezikov: "First, it can serve as a soldier's identity certificate, which is equivalent to a dog tag for island soldiers. Second, the crotch cloth is also
It can be used as a towel. Islanders love to take baths. When there is a shortage of towels, they use crotch cloth instead."
After hearing Sokov's explanation, Bezikov was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Commander Zeng and Political Commissar Tang saw that Bezikov suddenly laughed without warning after listening to Sokov's words, with a confused expression on his face. Commander Zeng turned to Liu Dongmei and asked: "What did Lao Suo say?
His men were smiling so happily."
Liu Dongmei blushed and repeated what Sokov had just said to Commander Zeng and Political Commissar Tang.
After hearing this, the two of them burst out laughing.
After laughing, Commander Zeng gave Sokov a thumbs up: "Lao Suo, you are really worthy of me. You can even make up things like using a crotch cloth as a towel."
After hearing this, Sokov deliberately defended himself and said that this was not something he made up, but a real thing. He remembered reading a post, which said that after the little devil was sent to Siberia, in that bitter cold land, he knew how to eat more.
It gave me more hope of living. Therefore, I used my own crotch cloth to exchange bread from the Soviet officers and soldiers. Of course, when they exchanged it, they would not say it was a crotch cloth, but a towel. But
After all, it is something that has been clamped under the crotch for a long time, so it will definitely turn yellow and have a peculiar smell. However, the crotch cloth is very long, sometimes six or seven meters long. They cut it out from a clean place and passed it off as a towel to the Soviet commanders and soldiers to change it.
Bread, I didn’t expect that because of the good quality of the cloth, it was also loved by the Soviet commanders and fighters…
However, he could not verify whether this kind of thing was true or false for the time being. Therefore, when he heard Commander Zeng say this, he could only laugh and say: "I think the atmosphere here is too tense, so I told a joke to relieve it.
"
Bezikov, who originally believed in Sokov's words, now had doubts. He looked at Sokov and muttered to himself: Could it be that what the commander just said to me was a joke he made up casually?
?
"Comrade Zeng." After the laughter stopped, Sokov asked Commander Zeng with a straight face: "Where did these little devils come from? How come they have military uniforms and weapons? If they weren't mine today,
If you are lucky, you may lose your life in vain like the soldier on the first jeep."
When he said this, Sokov couldn't help but think that shortly after Germany surrendered, the vehicle he was riding in had been attacked once. After arriving in the Far East, he was also attacked on the way to inspect the 53rd Army. Unexpectedly,
The war was over, and I was attacked again in my own territory."
"Comrade." Political Commissar Tang said to Sokov: "Please give us some time. We will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give you a satisfactory explanation."
"How long will it take you?" Sokov asked with a straight face.
"Three days." Political Commissar Tang held out three fingers and said, "Within three days, we will definitely find out the truth."
"Okay, Commissar Tang." Sokov nodded and said, "Then I'll give you three days. I hope you won't disappoint me."
When Sokov walked towards the vehicle that had just come to pick him up, Afuning caught up with him and asked Sokov curiously: "Is this the end of the matter? You know, the attack occurred in the defense area of the Autonomous Army, and they are not the same."
It’s inseparable.”
"Afuning," Sokov turned to Afuning and said, "Commissar Tang of the Autonomous Army has told me that he will give me a satisfactory answer in three days. If you have any questions, please wait until three days later." After that,
, without giving Afunin a chance to speak again, Sokov got into the car.
Watching Sokov's vehicle leave, Afunin said to Ryazanov: "Ryazanov, send your people to strengthen patrols in this area, and be sure to avoid similar incidents from happening again, otherwise you and I will
It’s inseparable.”
"Don't worry," Riazanov nodded and said, "Starting from tomorrow, I will strengthen the security here."
"Why wait until tomorrow, Ryazanov?" Afunin said dissatisfied: "Today, preferably now, we will transfer the troops you mentioned. Although this group of attackers has been eliminated, who knows?
Are there any other attackers hiding nearby? If they do some sabotage overnight, I won't bear the responsibility for you if they are investigated."
"Okay." After hearing what Afunin said, Riazanov could only say helplessly: "I'm going to make a call now and send troops over to strengthen the defense here."
When Sokov returned to the headquarters, Lukin, Yakov and Gorokhov were all waiting impatiently. Seeing Sokov appear, the three of them immediately greeted him. Especially Yakov,
He grabbed Sokov's arm, looked him up and down, and asked with concern: "Misha, I heard that you were attacked on the way. How are you? Are you not injured?"...
"No, I was not injured." Sokov said with a wry smile: "Today's attack made me understand one thing."
"What's going on?" Yakov asked.
"No matter where you go, it's best to carry an assault rifle with you." Sokov said: "When I was attacked today, if I had not only had a pistol but an assault rifle, I would not have waited for the reinforcements to arrive.
One person can wipe out all the attackers."
"Have you figured out the identity of the attacker?" Gorokhov asked with concern.
"It should be someone from the Kwantung Army." Sokov said: "Only one of the attackers is left alive. I have asked the Autonomous Army to handle the matter. They will give me a satisfactory answer to the attack in three days.
reply."
"Is it possible?" Gorokhov asked tentatively: "The people who attacked you were members of the Autonomous Army, but in order to shirk responsibility, they deliberately said that it was the prisoners of war of the Kwantung Army who did it?"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Sokov was unwilling to listen to Gorokhov's statement. He said seriously: "I believe that the autonomous army will never do such a thing and attack me.
He must be a remnant of the Kwantung Army who slipped through the net."
"Misha, if you are right, then there must be many remnants of the Kwantung Army hidden in the city." Yakov reminded Sokov: "How about we conduct a big operation in the city to check whether there are still many remnants of the Kwantung Army."
There are remnants of the Kwantung Army hidden among the people."
Regarding Yakov's proposal, Sokov thought for a while, and then shook his head in denial: "Yasha, your proposal is good, but it is not appropriate in such a sensitive period. You know, the Kwantung Army has just surrendered.
The people in the Northeast are still in a state of panic. Carrying out a city-wide search at this time will only make everyone more panicked. I think it’s better to forget it and don’t carry out such an action.”
"Misha, are you just going to swallow your anger like this?"
"Yasha, don't be anxious." Sokov said to Yakov: "Commissar Tang has promised me to investigate and find out the truth within three days. I think we should wait patiently for a few days. If they can't find out the truth,
It’s not too late for us to take action.”
"Okay." Yakov saw that Sokov was not willing to delve into the matter, and it was not good to continue to entangle him: "Then follow your wishes and not pursue it for the time being. But I have a suggestion. From now on, you
If you go to Tiexi District again for inspection, you must bring more people with you. If possible, it is best to take an armored vehicle. This way, even if you are attacked again, your life will not be in danger. Do you think I am right?"
Yakov's next words were directed at Lukin and Gorokhov.
"I agree." The first person to express his position was Lu Jin: "The nature of today's matter is very serious. If Misha goes to inspect again in the future, it is completely necessary to strengthen security work."
"I agree!" Gorokhov also echoed: "If something happens to you, there will be serious consequences."
Sokov knew very well what serious consequences Gorokhov was talking about. In order to reassure everyone, he also expressed his position: "Please rest assured, everyone, after today's incident, I will strengthen security when I travel in the future."
Work to prevent similar incidents from happening again.”…
"Report!" As soon as Sokov finished speaking, Bezikov's voice was heard.
Sokov turned to look at the door and said to Bezikov who was standing there: "Come in, Comrade Major. I wonder what kind of news you will bring us."
Hearing what Sokov said, Bezikov couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face. He came to Sokov and others and reported: "Comrade Commander, the surviving soldiers in the first car have woken up.
, he said something to the military doctor. I feel the need to report to you immediately."
"Oh, what did the guard say?" Sokov asked curiously: "I wonder what he said?"
"He said that while their vehicle was driving, they saw the oncoming patrol." Bezikov said: "The driver wanted to know where there was a factory nearby, so he slowed down and opened the door to ask the other party.
Unexpectedly, he had just told the other party to stop and wanted to ask something, when the other party picked up the weapon in his hand and shot at the jeep. The wounded soldier was lucky because there was a driver in front of him and a comrade beside him who blocked the bullet for him.
The earth survived.”
After listening to Bezikov's words, Sokov finally understood what was going on. It turned out that today's attack was an own incident. Maybe the enemies disguised as patrols just wanted to escape, and saw two jeeps coming towards them.
When they arrived, they were already nervous, but when they saw the driver popping his head out to ask for directions, he instinctively shot. In the end, their escape plan failed, and they lost their lives in vain.
"Hey, what a pity." After hearing this, Yakov sighed and said: "If the driver hadn't opened the door to ask for directions, I'm afraid these enemies disguised as autonomous troops wouldn't have shot casually. Those guards you brought
Members will not sacrifice themselves."
"Comrade Chief of Staff, that's not what you said." Unexpectedly, Lu Jin raised objections to Yakov's statement: "If these prisoners of war are really allowed to escape from Tiexi District, maybe they will bring
A greater harm." He looked at Sokov and continued, "Although Misha's encounter today was dangerous, it was better than a near miss, and it also eliminated hidden dangers in the city."
Sokov turned to Bezikov and said: "Comrade Major, you will tell the director of the hospital later that all efforts must be made to rescue the injured guard and that he must be revived. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Comrade Commander." Bezikov replied loudly: "I will convey your message to the director of the hospital."
After Bezikov left, Sokov faced everyone and said: "Comrades, this matter seems to be more and more complicated now. First of all, these devils disguised as autonomous troops, the weapons in their hands and the military uniforms on their bodies
, where did they get it? Did they have an idea and disguise themselves as a patrol team, or did they secretly kill a patrol team of the Autonomous Army and then put on the opponent's military uniform to pretend to be it?"
These two questions from Sokov made everyone think deeply. Yes, where did these enemies pretending to be the autonomous army get their weapons? Was it their impromptu idea to pretend to be a patrol?
Or did you kill an autonomous army patrol and then deliberately impersonate it?
"Okay, don't think about it, everyone." Everyone frowned and thought hard for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason. Finally, Lu Jin spoke up and relieved everyone's embarrassment: "The clues we have are limited, no matter how much we think about it,
I’m afraid I can’t figure out what’s going on. Maybe in two days, the answers given to us by the Autonomous Army will be able to solve everyone’s questions.”
