After escorting the cook soldiers back to the headquarters, Sokov immediately ordered Samoilov: "Lieutenant, go and bring the two warehouse managers over."
Soon, two warehouse managers were brought into the headquarters. The two thought they were brought here today to shoot them, so they were so frightened that they knelt down in front of Sokov and begged for mercy: "Comrade commander, please don't shoot us. Give us another chance, and we will definitely serve our crimes." of."
"Who said you were going to be shot?" Sokov looked at the two frightened warehouse managers and said, "I brought you here today just to make you guilty and meritorious. Stand up."
When the two warehouse managers heard that they would not be shot, they hurriedly got up from the ground and stood in front of Sokov with their hands lowered, listening to what he was going to say next.
"I called you here today because I want you to identify whether the person who assigned you the task is in the room." Sokov said, waving to the two of them: "Let's get started."
The eyes of the two warehouse managers swept over every soldier in the room. When they saw the tall cook soldier, they glanced at him because he was wearing warrior uniform. But soon they realized something was wrong, and turned their eyes back to him. After a brief moment of surprise, they both pointed at the cook at the same time: "That's him."
"Are you sure you didn't admit the mistake?" Sokov glanced at Miyakotin and Makhmutov standing nearby, and deliberately asked the two warehouse managers: "If you admit the wrong person, you should know what the consequences will be."
"I know, I know." The two warehouse managers nodded vigorously like chickens pecking at rice. "We will never mistake him. He is the one. There is a black mole on the tip of his right ear."
When Samoylov heard this, he quickly walked over to take a closer look, and then loudly reported to Sokov: "Comrade division commander, there is indeed a black mole on the tip of his right ear."
"Okay, take these two warehouse managers down."
After Miyakotin and other soldiers took away the two warehouse managers, they asked puzzledly: "Comrade Commander, I would like to ask, what mistake did this cook soldier in our division make?"
"Comrade Colonel, let me explain it to you." Vitkov interrupted: "The night before yesterday, the enemy attacked the hotel where General Zhukov was staying. Do you know about this?"
"I heard about it." Miyakotin nodded and replied, "But what does this have to do with my cooking soldiers?"
"The German officers and soldiers who attacked the hotel were all wearing the uniforms of our army. These uniforms were provided by the two warehouse managers who were just taken away." Vitkov looked at Miyakotin and asked: "But Comrade Colonel, Do you know who gave them the order to prepare our uniforms for the Germans?"
When Miyakotin heard Vitkov ask this, he couldn't help but feel moved: "Could it be that my cook did it?"
"That's right." Vitkov nodded and continued: "In order to avoid exposing his identity, he deliberately changed into a captain's uniform. Yesterday, I called you specifically to ask you to join the army. We are searching for people who match the characteristics. Why didn’t you notice that he was by your side?”
Faced with Vitkov's question, Miyakotin replied with some embarrassment: "Comrade Chief of Staff, your notice said that you are looking for a tall soldier with a lame. He is indeed a tall man, but he does not walk with a limp. Legs..."
Before Miyakotin could finish speaking, Makhmutov leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Comrade division commander, I forgot to tell you that this cook's feet were burned by boiling water a few days ago, so he was unable to walk. There was a slight limp at the time.”
Hearing his political commissar say this, Miyakotin was speechless. He blushed and said to Sokov and Vitkov: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, Comrade Chief of Staff, it was my work that was not meticulous and I didn't even notice that the enemy was hiding among us, which almost caused a big mistake." , please criticize and punish me."
"And me." Since Miyako Kyoto took the initiative to admit his mistakes to Sokov and the others, Makhmutov, who was the political commissar, naturally couldn't stand aside and not express his opinions. He said quickly: "I have discovered it a long time ago. He walked with a limp, but he did not report the matter to the division commander immediately, which resulted in him getting away with it, and I cannot escape the blame."
"Okay, okay, you are all responsible for this, just be more careful next time." Sokov didn't want to punish any important commander before the war came, so he was ready to turn the big issue into a trivial one. The two said: "I am going to interrogate this lurking enemy next. Do you want to stay and observe, or go back to your own troops?"
"I want to stay and listen." Miyakotin had just admitted his mistake to Sokov, how could he leave like this. He wanted to stay here to observe and find out if there were any other lurking enemies in his troops.
"Since you have seen through it, let me tell the truth." Seeing that his identity was revealed, the cooking soldier no longer concealed it, but said truthfully: "I turned out to be a member of the Sixteenth Group Army. I was in Vyazi." I was captured in the Battle of Ma. Later, the Germans went to the POW camp to recruit volunteers, saying they could survive. I was confused and joined their Eastern Camp.
When the Germans attacked Stalingrad, they sent a large number of people like me into the city because their attack was frustrated. I originally thought that I would be incorporated into the infantry division, but unexpectedly I entered the artillery division and became a cook. "
After figuring out the origin of the other party, Sokov asked again: "Tell me, how did you learn that General Zhukov came to Luhansk and formulated a plan to assassinate him?"
"The matter of General Zhukov in Luhansk has long been no secret in the army. In order to boost morale, the political workers even publicized it on different occasions to let everyone know that as long as Zhukov is there, there will be great success. Quickly launch an attack on the German army, thereby rallying the morale of the troops and boosting their morale.
After we passed the news about Zhukov in Luhansk to the Germans through the radio. The Germans called back and said that they were preparing to send an airborne force into Luhansk and asked us to actively cooperate. I thought that if they wore Soviet uniforms, it would definitely be helpful for their operations, so I contacted my accomplices working in the clothing warehouse and asked them to prepare military uniforms. "
