Before Sokov could enter the theater, Konev hurriedly walked out, and the two met at the door.
"No need to salute." Sokov saw that the other party was about to salute him, and quickly raised his hand to stop him, and asked straight to the point: "Colonel Konev, do you have any news about the deputy chief of staff?"
Hearing Sokov's question, Konev couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked: "Comrade Commander, isn't the Deputy Chief of General Staff always with you?"
Sokov sighed softly and said with some helplessness: "Comrade Colonel, shortly after your division headquarters entered the city, he also entered the city with a guard company."
"What? The Deputy Chief of General Staff entered the city with a security company?" Sokov's words shocked Konev: "Comrade Commander, why didn't you stop him? You know, there is fighting everywhere in the city. , it will be troublesome if we encounter the Germans."
"Comrade Colonel, if I insist on going to the front to watch the battle, can you stop me?"
Konev thought for a moment and reluctantly gave the answer: "I think it's not possible."
"That's right." Sokov continued: "Since you can't stop me from going to the most dangerous place, how can I stop the Deputy Chief of Staff from going to the most dangerous place?"
Konev accidentally saw Koshkin being supported by someone, recognized him as the subordinate who was protecting Sokov, and asked curiously: "Lieutenant Koshkin, why are you injured?"
"On our way here, we encountered infiltrating enemies." Sokov said briefly: "Lieutenant Koshkin was hit by a grenade while fighting with the Germans on their bayonets."
Knowing that Sokov encountered German troops on the way here, Konev was frightened and broke into a cold sweat: "Comrade Commander, are you in any danger?"
Sokov pointed to the helmet above his head with his hand, "The helmet was hit by a German bullet. Fortunately, the opponent's shooting was not accurate. If it had been three centimeters lower, what you would see now would be my body."
Konev felt his legs tremble unconsciously. He did not expect that before Sokov came to his headquarters, he would encounter the German army on the road and almost lose his life.
"Comrade Commander," Fritzman next to him stepped forward to support Konev and politely said to Sokov, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the headquarters."
"Yes, yes," Konev glanced at Fritzman with a grateful look and said smoothly: "Comrade Commander, this is not the place to talk. You'd better go to my headquarters."
Sokov followed Konev and Fritzman. When he passed through the screening room, he saw many wounded people lying in the aisle. Health workers were squatting next to them, treating their wounds. He slowed down and asked the doctor Nev: "Comrade Colonel, how many wounded do you have here?"
"There are 41 people, Comrade Commander." Before Konev could speak, Fritzman said first: "These wounded are all from our regiment, and 24 of them are seriously wounded."
Sokov waited for Fritzman to finish and then said apologetically: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, please explain to the wounded. Due to the special situation now, we cannot transport them out for the time being. We can only force them to stay here for a while." It’s time.”
"Comrade Commander, don't worry." Fritzman replied: "I think the wounded can understand under the current situation. After all, when we fought in the past, we were unable to evacuate the wounded for four or five days in a row. It’s a common situation.” After saying that, Fritzman called a female hygienist and asked her to help Koshkin bandage the wound.
After arriving at Konev's headquarters, Sokov said to Konev: "Comrade Colonel, immediately get in touch with the 8th and 10th Regiments to find out whether Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff has gone to them."
"Okay." Konev agreed, then called a staff officer and told him to contact the other two regiments through the radio to see if any of them had seen Shtemenko.
A few minutes later, the staff hurriedly came back and reported: "Comrade Division Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Pinkov, commander of the 8th Regiment, reported that half an hour ago, Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff visited his headquarters and learned about the war. After progressing, he left."
"Leaved?!" Sokov and Konev asked in unison: "Where did you go?"
"Based on the direction they left, they should have gone to the combat area of the 10th Airborne Regiment."
Sokov heard an important message from the staff officer's words: "Comrade staff officer, haven't you contacted the 10th Airborne Regiment yet?"
Hearing Sokov's question, the staff officer couldn't help but blush, and replied with some embarrassment: "Yes, Comrade Commander. At present, I have only established contact with the 8th Regiment..."
"Why don't you contact the 10th Regiment?" The person speaking this time was Konev. He asked angrily: "Don't you know that the situation that Comrade Commander needs to know is very important?"
Before Sokov could enter the theater, Konev hurriedly walked out, and the two met at the door.
"No need to salute." Sokov saw that the other party was about to salute him, and quickly raised his hand to stop him, and asked straight to the point: "Colonel Konev, do you have any news about the deputy chief of staff?"
