Sokov originally thought that even after Zhukov took over Vatutin's post, he would have to wait until after April if he wanted to return to the front line, but he unexpectedly received a call from Lunev.
"Misha," Runev asked on the phone, "I want to talk to you. Do you have time?"
"Yes." The senior commander training course had not yet started. Sokov stayed at home every day. Naturally, he was bored. He said to Lunev: "Lunev, let Koshkin come. Pick me up and I’ll see you immediately at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”
"No, you don't have to come over." Unexpectedly, Lunev said unexpectedly: "I will go to your home now."
When Sokov called, Asya sat aside. After Sokov put down the phone, she asked curiously: "Misha, tell me, what does Lunev want to see you for?"
"I don't know!" After Sokov answered simply, he thought of a possibility: "Maybe it has something to do with our meeting with Marshal Zhukov yesterday."
"Is it related to Marshal Zhukov?" Asia asked with some confusion: "When we went to see Marshal Zhukov, did we talk to him beforehand, or did his lieutenant Koshkin send us there? Is there any problem?"
Sokov and Asiya have carefully checked the room in the past two days and did not find any eavesdropping equipment, so they can speak boldly: "Is it because we have been alone with Marshal Zhukov for a while? He wants to know what we have talked about." What?"
Asya thought to herself: Yesterday when Zhukov was fishing on the ice with Zhukov, the major responsible for protecting his safety had been away for a while to fetch a tent. Maybe Lunev came here just to get to know Sokov and Zhukov during this period. content of the conversation.
After thinking of this, Asia suddenly felt much more relaxed: "Misha, I was here yesterday and heard the entire conversation between you and Marshal Zhukov. Even if you tell Lunev all of this, I think there will be no problem."
"Yes, we don't have to talk about this kind of thing." Sokov said in agreement: "If you tell a lie, you need 100 lies to cover it up."
Lunev arrived quickly, arriving at Sokov's home less than half an hour after making the call.
He shook hands with Sokov and asked politely: "Misha, how have you been these past two days?"
"Very good." Sokov replied with a smile: "If my superiors send me back to the front line now, even though my legs are injured and I cannot go to charge personally, I can still sit in the headquarters and command the troops."
But Lunev expressed doubts about Sokov's statement: "If you are really asked to go back to command the troops, can your body really adapt?"
"No problem." After chatting with Zhukov yesterday, Sokov realized that as long as there was a chance, he could return to the front line immediately without finishing the training in the academy. Therefore, he said with confidence: "Lunev, you should be very clear about the extent of my injuries. Except for the inconvenience of my legs and feet, the injuries on my body have basically healed, and I am fully capable of commanding the troops in combat."
"Misha, to tell you the truth, I came here today just to understand your physical condition." Lunev said: "If conditions permit, you can return to the front line as soon as possible."
Lunev originally thought that Sokov would respond to him by referring to his studies at the Frunze Military Academy. Unexpectedly, the other party asked impatiently: "If my physical condition permits, can I really return to the front line immediately?"
"Yes, Misha." Lunev nodded: "That's true. As long as your physical condition allows, we can arrange for you to return to the front line as soon as possible. After all, there is a lack of outstanding commanders like you."
Sokov felt that Lunev was not here to chat with him today, but must have come with some important mission, so he asked tentatively: "Lunev, we are all friends, there is no need to go around in circles if anything happens." , you can tell me directly so that I can be mentally prepared."
Now that Sokov got straight to the point, Lunev stopped rambling and said seriously: "Misha, at the meeting of the Supreme Command two hours ago, General Konev's report was discussed. Apply."
"General Konev's application?" Sokov said with some confusion: "Is his application related to me?"
"Yes, it is indeed related to you." Lunev nodded and continued: "In yesterday's battle, the aerial bomb dropped by the enemy plane hit the 53rd Army Headquarters, causing huge casualties. The commander of the army group, Major General Tarasov, was seriously injured and could no longer continue to command the battle. Therefore, General Konev applied to the Supreme Command, hoping that you could serve as the commander of the army group."
"What, let me take the post of commander of the 53rd Army?" Sokov suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and tried his best to ask in a calm tone: "Lunev, is this all true?"
"Of course it is true." Lunev replied affirmatively: "The Supreme Commander himself asked Comrade Beria to know about your recovery from the injury. If conditions permit, he will immediately rush to the front line and serve as the commander of the 53rd Army. The meeting adjourned After that, Beria also gave me the task of understanding your recovery from injury."
"Lunev." Sokov grabbed Lunev's hand and said with some emotion: "Please go back and tell Comrade Beria that I have fully recovered and my body can fully adapt to life on the front line. , hoping to get me back to the front line as soon as possible.”
