After arriving in the Yagotin area, Sokov originally thought that Vlasov and the two were going to find a place to reorganize a new headquarters. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got off the train, a major came over and saluted the two: "Commander
Comrade, Chief of Staff, welcome you."
Vlasov nodded at the other party and then asked: "Where is the army headquarters?"
"It's in a church not far from here." The major said respectfully, "I'll drive you there."
Seeing Vlasov following the major towards a black car parked not far away, Sokov quickly grabbed Colonel Del and asked curiously: "Comrade Chief of Staff, wasn't our headquarters occupied by the Germans?"
Has it been lost? Where did this new headquarters come from?"
Unexpectedly, Colonel Del laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Captain Sokov, although the place where you usually stay is also called the 37th Group Army Headquarters, it is also the Kiev Garrison Headquarters. The task of commanding operations is actually
It is commanded by the deputy commander of the group army who is stationed here."
Sokov followed Vlasov and Colonel Del into the headquarters and saw a bald commander with his back to the door, standing in front of a map, giving orders to the staff around him.
The major who led the way quickly walked to the bald commander's side, stood at attention and reported: "Comrade deputy commander, the commander and the chief of staff are here!"
The bald commander turned around and saw Vlasov and Colonel Del standing not far away. He quickly walked over, raised his hand and saluted, then extended his hand to Vlasov and said enthusiastically: "Commander
Chairman, Chief of Staff, it’s great to see you here.”
While the three of them were shaking hands for a long time, Sokov saw clearly that the bald commander's diamond-shaped collar badge was inlaid with two gold stars, indicating that he was a major general.
"Captain Sokov, come here." Vlasov, who had been chatting with the deputy commander for a while, turned to Sokov and said, "Let me introduce to you our comrade deputy commander."
"Hello, Comrade Deputy Commander." As soon as Sokov walked in front of the bald commander, he quickly raised his hand and saluted: "I am Captain Sokov, commander of the special company of the headquarters."
"So you are Captain Sokov." The deputy commander seemed very enthusiastic after hearing Sokov reveal his identity: "I have heard the commander and chief of staff tell you several times, and today is the first time we meet."
"There is no way. Although we are the commanders and deputy commanders of the 37th Group Army, due to various reasons, we have to stay in two places." Vlasov said with emotion: "This should be the first time that the three of us have met.
Bar."
"Yes, this is the first time we have met." The deputy commander said, "I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances. By the way, I heard that the Germans occupied Kiev. How did you escape?
"
"Comrade Deputy Commander, you don't know something. If it weren't for Captain Sokov's cleverness, we would all have fallen into the hands of the Germans," Colonel Del said.
The deputy commander couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and then asked: "Comrade Chief of Staff, can you tell me in more detail how you escaped from danger?"
Since the deputy commander wanted to know how he and Vlasov escaped from danger, Colonel Del did not hide it, and told how Sokov used a trick to pretend to be a German Brandenburg officer and soldier, deceiving the German major, and on the other side.
With the help of others, he successfully passed the Dnieper River Bridge controlled by the German army and told the deputy commander in detail.
After hearing this, the deputy commander couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. Then he gave Sokov a thumbs up and said repeatedly: "Comrade Captain, I really didn't expect that you could come up with such an amazing plan to bring the commander and the commander together."
The Chief of Staff rescued him from danger."
"Comrade Deputy Commander, you are very grateful." Faced with the deputy commander's praise, Sokov still maintained the necessary humility: "I am the commander of a special company, and my responsibility is to protect the safety of the group army leader, so I do everything I can to protect the safety of the group army leader.
It’s a matter of duty.”
"That's a good thing." The deputy commander was very satisfied with Sokov's answer. He turned to Vlasov and said: "Comrade Commander, I think Captain Sokov will definitely have great achievements in the future.
.”
"That's for sure, my comrade deputy commander." After Vlasov said this, he asked the deputy commander curiously: "By the way, where is comrade military commissar, why didn't you see him?"
"He went to inspect the troops." The expression on the deputy commander's face became serious again: "Most of our troops in the Yagotin area are troops in the Kiev fortification area. We learned that Kiev has fallen
After being killed by the Germans, the mood of the commanders and soldiers was a little low. The military commissar led a group of political workers to the front line to do propaganda work, hoping to boost military morale and morale."
"How is the defense situation here?" Vlasov continued to ask.
"Since I have limited troops at my disposal, my defense directions are mainly directed towards the west, south and north..."
Seeing the three group army leaders discussing defense deployment, it was obviously inappropriate for the young captain Sokov to stay here, so he secretly exited the room and prepared to find a place to stay, waiting for Vlasov and others to call him.
, can appear in time.
"Comrade Captain," as soon as he came out, the major who led the way stopped him: "You have brought more than 300 people, and I plan to distribute them to various units. I wonder if any of you want to stay.
?”
Before coming to Yagotin, Sokov knew that due to the serious shortage of combat personnel, the commanders and fighters brought from Berezan would be assigned to various combat units in a very short period of time, but he had to find a way to retain them.
Let's have a few confidants, so that when I have to stand alone in the future, I will have my own team.
When he heard the major ask this, he quickly took out a notebook from his pocket, tore out a page and handed it to the other party: "Comrade major, except for these few people, you can freely distribute the rest of the commanders and fighters."
The major took the page and saw that there were more than a dozen names written on it, and some of the names were followed by military ranks. When he saw Mira's name and military rank, he was a little surprised and said: "Comrade Captain, why are you still here?"
Is there a major in there?"
"This major is the chief of staff of the 851st Regiment of the 284th Division. The commander has a good impression of him and plans to entrust him with important tasks in the future." Sokov was worried that something might happen to the major in front of him, so he assigned Major Mira to
As for the forward combat troops, Vlasov was used as a shield: "So don't assign him to the forward combat troops for the time being."
"Yes, I know." The major nodded and continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"
"Comrade Major, can you find a place for these people to stay?"
"No problem." The major replied very readily: "I will let you know after I have settled them."
Not long after the major left, several people came over.
When Sokov saw clearly that the collar badge of one of them bore the rank of regimental political commissar, he guessed that the other person might be the military commissar of the group army, so he quickly stood at attention and raised his hand to salute him.
