The chief of staff's office was not far away. After receiving Goryunov's call, he hurried over.
"Comrade Commander, what is your mission?"
"How soon will our bomber fleet be ready to attack?"
"Going to bomb somewhere?"
"Here, it's right here." Goryunov pointed to the location marked on the map and said to his chief of staff: "Order the bomber aviation division to bomb these locations to destroy the German fighters and weaken them. air power.”
After listening to the tasks assigned by Goryunov, the chief of staff's pupils shrank suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Comrade Commander, I have not received any reports in this regard. How did you know the location of the German airport?"
Goryunov pointed his hand at Rezanov who was standing next to him and said: "Chief of Staff, let me introduce to you, Comrade Rezanov. He just flew a German bomber from the Germans not long ago. He escaped from a prisoner of war camp, and he provided the location of the German airport."
Silence, the chief of staff couldn't help but fell into silence when he learned that the information Goryunov had obtained was actually provided by the haggard young man in front of him wearing a new military uniform.
After a long time, the chief of staff withdrew his eyes from Rezanov, looked at Goryunov and asked: "Comrade Commander, is this the information you obtained from him?"
"Yes."
After receiving a positive answer from Goryunov, the chief of staff turned to Rezanov and asked: "Comrade Rezanov, I would like to ask, are you a scout?"
"No." Rezanov shook his head hurriedly and replied: "I am a fighter pilot."
"Since you are a fighter pilot, how do you know the location of the German airport?"
"Comrade General," Rezanov looked at the elderly general in front of him and replied with some embarrassment: "During the air battle in Kuban, my fighter plane was shot down by the Germans. Unfortunately, I was wounded and captured. After I recovered from the injury, I He was held in a prisoner of war camp near a German field airfield."
"Since you are being held in a prisoner of war camp, how did you know the locations of other German airports?"
Faced with the question of the chief of staff, Rezanov explained: "I was once taken to the command post of the airport by the Germans for interrogation. I accidentally saw the map on the wall. You also know that for us pilots, knowing Mapping is a basic skill, and when I saw that map, I instinctively noted the location of the German airfield.”
"So, you are a pilot?" the chief of staff asked in a contemptuous tone: "How did you escape after obtaining intelligence about the German airport?"
"He and five other prisoners of war flew back directly from the enemy's airport in a German heavy bomber." Seeing the chief of staff constantly questioning Rezanov, Lunev felt very uncomfortable, so he Interjected: "Do you have any more questions?"
The chief of staff did not know Lunev, so he could only look to his commander Goryunov for help.
"Chief of Staff, let me introduce to you. This is Lieutenant General Lunev, the military commissar of the 27th Army." Goryunov knew Lunev's identity and was worried that his chief of staff might accidentally offend him, thus attracting attention. If he wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, he emphasized: "At the same time, General Lunev is also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
After learning Lunev's true identity, the chief of staff couldn't help but gasped. He never dreamed that the other party's background was so big. In order to make up for his mistake, he quickly raised his hand to salute Lunev and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Comrade Deputy Minister, I don't know your identity..."
"Okay, Comrade Chief of Staff." Lunev waved his hand, interrupted the other party's words, and said impatiently: "What we want to discuss now is not my identity, but how long it will take for your bomber formation to be ready. Preparation for attack.”
The chief of staff dared to offend Lunev. When he heard this question, he instinctively replied: "Comrade Deputy Minister, if it is necessary to carry out an air strike on the German airport immediately, it will take forty minutes at the earliest."
Perhaps because he was worried that Lunev felt that the preparation time was too long, he specifically explained to him: "Our aircraft needs to be loaded with ammunition and filled with fuel. It will be the limit for taking off after forty minutes."
Lunev understood that the other party was suppressed by his identity, but he did not accuse the other party for this. Instead, he said in a friendly manner: "Comrade Chief of Staff, it's getting late. Hurry up and give the order to the bomber formation and let them do what they want to do." Be ready to attack."
Seeing that Lunev did not care about him, the chief of staff was stunned at first, and then nodded desperately like a chicken pecking at rice: "Understood, Comrade Deputy Minister, I will immediately give the bomber aviation division an order to have them fly in the shortest possible time. Be ready to strike.”
After the chief of staff said this, he did not bother to go back to his office. He directly grabbed the phone on the table and called the bomber division commander. He said bluntly: "Comrade division commander, we have an urgent combat mission for you immediately." The troops are ready to attack. ...What target to attack? ...Don't worry, I will send a staff officer to report the coordinates of the target to you soon."
After making the call, the chief of staff remembered that he was in Goryunov's office, and couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression on his face. He faced Goryunov and said: "Comrade Commander, I have issued combat orders to the bomber division. When they are ready for combat, they can take off for combat."
"You did a good job, Comrade Chief of Staff." After praising the other party, Goryunov waved to him and said, "There is nothing for you to do here. You can go back to your office."
As soon as the chief of staff left, Goryunov smiled and said to Lunev: "General Lunev, my chief of staff just offended you, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter." Lunev knew that Rezanov's identity was sensitive, and it was reasonable for the chief of staff to question it, so he said reasonably: "The purpose of my coming here today is to send Comrade Rezanov over. As for the future It’s up to you to decide how to arrange it.”
As early as when he saw Lunev appearing with Rezanov, Goryunov knew in his heart that the other party would definitely keep this person with him, but how to settle the other party gave Goryunov a headache .
But the more worried he is, the more he wants to come. Since Lunev has already mentioned this matter, it is obviously inappropriate to refuse again. To be on the safe side, Goryunov said carefully: "Comrade Rezanov, you have just escaped from the enemy's prisoner-of-war camp, and you have big health problems. I think so, you stay here with me to recuperate." , and after your health recovers, you can stay in the headquarters as a staff officer. What do you think?"
Rezanov is a smart man, and he knows that what Goryunov said is a delaying strategy. He wants to wait until the matter of his return by plane subsides, and then decide how to arrange himself. He nodded and said: "Comrade General, I obey your arrangement."
Seeing that Rezanov was very cooperative, Goryunov nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"
Following the shout, a captain walked in from outside. He straightened his back and stood at the door, quietly waiting for Goryunov to give the order.
"Comrade Captain," Goryunov walked up to him, pointed to Rezanov's ear who was standing in the room, and said: "This is Comrade Rezanov. He was just assigned to us today. Because of his There is a big problem with his health, so we will first arrange for him to go to the hospital for medical treatment, and then we will arrange specific work for him after he recovers."
Seeing the captain taking away Rezanov, Lunev showed a faint smile on his face. He said to Goryunov: "Comrade General, you are very right to do this. Before you fully understand his Before you know the details, be sure not to assign him an important position, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Seeing that Lunev had seen through his little thoughts, Goryunov laughed a little embarrassedly: "General Lunev, it seems that these things cannot be hidden from your eyes."
"General Goryunov," Lunev said to Goryunov, "although judging from various signs, Rezanov did escape from the prisoner of war camp when he returned by plane, rather than being incited by the Germans and joining our army. He is here to cause damage. But we still need to be more vigilant against him and determine whether what he reports is true or false through subsequent bombings."
The chief of staff's office was not far away. After receiving Goryunov's call, he hurried over.
"Comrade Commander, what is your mission?"
"How soon will our bomber fleet be ready to attack?"
"Going to bomb somewhere?"
"Here, it's right here." Goryunov pointed to the location marked on the map and said to his chief of staff: "Order the bomber aviation division to bomb these locations to destroy the German fighters and weaken them. air power.”
