Sokov led the blocking force, joined Grisa and the others, and immediately returned to the unknown highlands along the original route. Although several soldiers of the staff and reconnaissance team who wanted to rescue were injured, they sat on the sled and were pulled by strong soldiers in front of them. The speed was much faster than carrying them.
When we came, because there was no target, everyone could only search and move forward, so the moving speed was very slow. But now we are returning to the unknown highland. Everyone is familiar with the terrain, and their walking speed is more than twice as fast as when they came here. Just after noon, everyone returned to the unknown high ground.
After receiving the news, Belkin quickly lined up his guards to greet Sokov. When he saw the pilot and staff sitting on the sled, he couldn't help but asked Sokov in surprise: "Comrade Battalion Commander, have everyone been rescued?"
"Yes, they are all rescued." After Sokov said this, he began to give orders: "Everyone must be tired and hungry after walking such a long way. Find a place to rest first, and I will notify the cooking team immediately , I will bring you hot soup and rice to keep you warm. Also, Asiya, take the people to send all the wounded to the health team."
After hearing Sokov's arrangement, Lieutenant Fedoch struggled to jump from the sled into the snow, and said to Sokov anxiously: "Comrade Lieutenant, I don't want to go to the health team. I need to get in touch with the front army headquarters immediately." .”
"Comrade Lieutenant," Belkin said kindly, looking at the staff officer standing in front of him with a golden rooster, "you have a wound on your leg, you'd better go to the health team to treat the wound first..."
"No," before Belkin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fei Daoqi: "The wound can be treated later. I need to get in touch with the front army headquarters immediately."
Sokov stepped forward to help Fedoch, let him sit back on the sled, and said: "Lieutenant Fedoch, the injury on your leg is not serious. You need to go to the health team to treat the wound immediately, otherwise there will be sequelae. " He was deeply afraid that Fei Daoqi would continue to be stubborn, so he politely advised him, "We have to report the news of your rescue at every level. When you come over after treating your wounds, you may be able to speak to the head of the army group."
Sokov's persuasion finally made Fei Daoqi change his mind. He nodded and said: "Okay, Comrade Captain, since you said so, I will listen to you and go to the health team to treat the wound first." After all, he finally After persuading Fei Daoqi, he agreed to go to the health team to treat the wound first, and then go to the battalion command post to contact his superiors later.
Sokov and Belkin returned to the battalion command post and immediately ordered the telegraph operator to call the division headquarters and prepare to report the news of Fedoch's rescue to Chernyshev. While the radio operator was calling, Belkin asked curiously: "Comrade Battalion Commander, when you talked to me last night, you said that there was no trace of the missing plane. How could you rescue the crew of the plane so quickly?" ?”
"The people were not saved by me, but by Grisa and his reconnaissance team." Sokov turned to look at Belkin and said: "I just led people to rescue them from the hands of the Germans."
Sokov's words aroused great curiosity in Belkin, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Comrade Battalion Commander, tell me, what is going on?"
"I heard from the pilot that the plane had a mechanical failure during the flight and had to temporarily land in an open space in the forest." Fortunately, Sokov learned about the situation from the pilot and Grisa on the way back, so he faced Only by Belkin's question could he explain the whole story clearly: "When they made an emergency landing, they happened to be spotted by Grysa and the others who were passing by nearby. Grysa saw that our military plane had an accident and hurriedly took people there. Rescue. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lieutenant Fei Daoqi and the pilot were rescued, a large German army arrived. They could only fight and retreat towards the unknown high ground. However, the enemy had too many troops and soon they would They surrounded..."
"Comrade Battalion Commander," before Sokov finished speaking, the radio operator called him from the side: "We have been in contact with the division headquarters."
"Hello, comrade division commander." Sokov put on the earphones and said respectfully into the microphone: "I am honored to report to you that we have successfully rescued Lieutenant Fei Daoch and the pilot from the missing plane. ”
"Rescued?!" Chernyshov heard Sokov say this. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Captain Sokov, what did you just say, that you have rescued Lieutenant Fedoch?"
"Yes, we have rescued Lieutenant Fei Daoqi."
"Where is he now?" After confirming that Fedoch had been rescued, Chernyshev asked nervously: "Where are the documents he is carrying?"
"Lieutenant Fedoch's leg was injured and is being bandaged by the health team of our battalion at the moment." Faced with a series of questions from Chernyshev, Sokov replied methodically: "As for that important document, It has always been kept in the document bag that the lieutenant carries with him." Then he repeated to Chernyshev what he had said to Belkin.
After listening to Sokov's report, Chernyshov was silent for a while and then said: "Captain Sokov, I will report this situation to the commander immediately. You take good care of Lieutenant Fedoch first, and as for what happens next, What to do, I will inform you separately after asking the commander for instructions."
Chernyshov worked very efficiently. Less than ten minutes later, he took the initiative to contact Sokov: "Captain Sokov, the front army headquarters has re-sent people to send orders to the left wing troops, so it is a waste of time." The documents carried by Lieutenant Dodge have no existing value. You ask him to destroy the documents immediately and arrange for someone to send him to Susinich as soon as possible."
After Sokov ended the call with Chernyshev, he immediately sent someone to invite Fedoch. He did not go around in circles, but said straight to the point: "Lieutenant Fei Daoqi, I just received a notification from the division headquarters that the documents you were carrying were sent by the front army headquarters again shortly after you disappeared. Therefore, the documents on you are invalid and need to be destroyed immediately.”
"I understand." After Fedoch waited for Sokov to finish speaking, he stood up and limped to the stove, squatted down, took out the document he tried to destroy on the battlefield from his satchel, and stuffed it into the stove. After the documents were reduced to ashes, he picked up the tongs and stirred the ashes into pieces. Then he stood up in relief and asked Sokov: "Comrade Captain, I have destroyed the documents. I don't know what to do next?"
"In addition to destroying the documents, my superiors also asked me to send you to Sushinich as soon as possible." Sokov asked in a negotiating tone: "Look, should you rush back to the city immediately, or should you rest for the night before leaving? "
"The front army headquarters does not have enough manpower. I need to rush back immediately." Fei Daoqi said firmly: "Please send someone to send me to Susinich now."
