After Sokov put down the phone, he said to Lunev and Sidorin with a solemn expression: "Military Commissar, Chief of Staff, something happened. Yakov just told me on the phone that he had a meeting with Chernyakhov today. On his way to inspect the 3rd Army, General Ski was unexpectedly shelled by the Germans when passing through the city of Merizac."
"What?" Sokov's words made Runev and Sidorin break out in a cold sweat. If someone else was being bombarded, they would just sigh with emotion at most, but now among the people who were bombarded, Yakov actually existed. Everyone has some idea of the serious consequences this will bring.
Lunev asked nervously: "Is Yakov okay?"
"He said he was only injured by the shock and there was no big problem. General Chernyakhovsky's hands and feet were hit by shrapnel and are currently undergoing emergency repairs in the 3rd Army Field Hospital." Sokov said to the two of them: "The only person who died was General Chernyakhovsky's adjutant."
"Misha." Lunev realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly reminded Sokov: "Don't underestimate being injured by a shell. Some people seem to be fine on the outside, but they suffer serious injuries." Internal injuries, when they occur after a period of time, cannot be saved even if they are tried." Sokov agreed very much with Lunev's statement. He pointed at Sidorin with his hand and told the other party: "Comrade Chief of Staff , call our field hospital immediately and ask Asiya to come to me immediately." After hearing Sokov's arrangement, Lunev immediately understood what he meant: "Misha, are you planning to let Asiya come to me? Check for Yakov?"
"Yes, that's how I think about it." Sokov said: "If I ask other military doctors to go to the 3rd Army Field Hospital to check Yasha, I'm afraid it will arouse the resentment of the other hospital. But send Asiya, the situation It's different. Yasha is my friend and Asiya is my wife. My best friend was injured, so my wife, a military doctor, was sent to visit him and give him a comprehensive examination. I believe there is no What people would say.”
"Misha, you are very thoughtful." Lunev gave Sokov a thumbs up: "It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for Asia to go to the 3rd Army to visit Yakov on your behalf." He glanced at Sidorin is calling the hospital,
"I called Koshkin and asked him to personally lead the team to escort Asia to the 3rd Army." Koshkin used to be Lunev's subordinate. Since King Lunev returned, he naturally took over the original Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those security forces, Koshkin and a security company from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were directly at Lunev's disposal.
The field hospital where Asiya is located is a bit far away from here. Even if Asiya takes action immediately after receiving the call, it will still take some time on the road.
Koshkin's situation is different. His office is only a few minutes away from the headquarters.
So shortly after Lunev put down the phone, Koshkin appeared in the headquarters. Koshkin came to stand in front of Sokov and Lunev. After raising his hands in salute, he asked respectfully: "Commander, Military Commissar, what instructions do you have?"
"Koshkin," Lunev said to Koshkin: "The commander and I have an important task for you. You immediately return to the guard unit, select a group of capable soldiers, and be ready to go Get ready. Once Asia arrives, you will be responsible for sending her to the field hospital of the 3rd Army."
"What, go to the field hospital of the 3rd Army?" Koshkin asked in surprise: "Is Asia going to be transferred to the field hospital of the 3rd Army?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could you go there to work?" Lunev knew that Koshkin was familiar with Asiya and Yakov. Moreover, this time Asiya went to the 3rd Army Field Hospital, he still needed his protection. He did not hide anything from him, but said truthfully: "We just got the news that Yakov was attacked by German artillery on his way out today, and he seemed to be injured. We plan to let Asiya go as Misha's representative." Visit and do a physical examination on him to see if he has any internal injuries."
"General Yakov was shelled by the enemy while he was out and was injured?" Hearing the news, Koshkin asked with shock: "What on earth is going on? How could he be injured? "
"Captain Koshkin." Sokov interrupted with a straight face.
"Please pay attention to your identity. Don't inquire about things you shouldn't know. Your mission is to escort Asiya safely to the 3rd Army Field Hospital. After she has completed the examination of Yasha, escort her safely. Come back. Do you understand?" Koshkin thought to himself, although you won't tell me the truth of the matter, as long as I get there, I will soon be able to figure out what happened. So when I heard Sokov ask himself At that moment, he replied loudly: "Understood, Comrade Commander." After answering, he turned and left the headquarters, and went back to arrange the personnel responsible for the escort mission.
When Asiya received a call from Sidorin, the other party did not explain anything. He just told her: "Asiya, come to the headquarters immediately. Comrade Commander has something important to tell you." After receiving this call, Sia became anxious.
Although she knew that Sokov rarely went to the front line nowadays, no one could guarantee that when the war was in full swing, Sokov would not rush to the front line to inspect on a whim.
Sidorin called him today. Could it be that Sokov was unfortunately injured when he inspected the front line?
When he thought of this, Asia's hands and feet became weak and she couldn't even walk. Fortunately, there were two nurses nearby who helped her get into the jeep parked outside.
By the time the car arrived outside the headquarters, Asia had returned to normal. She thought that Sidorin only asked her to come to the headquarters and said that Sokov wanted to see her, but did not say what happened to Sokov. This meant that even if he was injured, it would probably not be fatal in a short period of time.
When she walked into the headquarters, the sentry at the door raised his hand and saluted her, his expression the same as usual. It seemed that there should be no problem in the headquarters, otherwise the outside would not be so peaceful.
With such doubts, she walked into the headquarters and saw Sokov standing at the table talking to Lunev and Sidorin.
"Asiya, you're here!" Sokov's sharp eyes saw Asiya who had just walked in. He stepped forward to give her a warm hug and asked with concern: "Have you eaten?" After Kov pushed away, he lifted up his clothes with his hands and checked whether there were any bandaged areas on his body.
"Asiya, what are you doing?" But the next moment, Sokov realized that Asiya might have misunderstood: "Asiya, you have misunderstood. I was not injured. It was the chief of staff who did not make it clear when he called, and the result was that You have to worry." Asia saw Sokov's face glowing red and he was confident when he spoke, but he had just checked briefly and found that there were indeed no wounds on his body. It seemed that he was not injured, but a false alarm.
She looked at Sokov and said unhappily: "Misha, do you know how busy I am in the hospital? There are so many wounded people to take care of every day, and there are so many operations to be performed. I wish I could only sleep for one or two hours a day." Hours. But even in such a busy situation, you asked the chief of staff to call me and asked me to rush over immediately and said that you had something to tell me. I was so scared that I thought you were injured..." At this point, Asia He made a fist and punched Sokov hard on the shoulder.
"Asiya, stop making trouble." Sokov grabbed Asiya's fist and said to her with a serious expression: "I called you over because I have something important to give to you."
"What's the matter?" Asia asked angrily, still angry.
"Yasha is injured." Sokov said: "I plan to let you visit him on my behalf."
"What, Yasha is injured?" After learning that Yakov was injured, Asia, who was still a little bit temperamental, was suddenly shocked. She asked nervously: "How did Yasha get injured? Is the injury serious? Is it possible?" Threatening life?" Faced with Asiya's series of questions, Sokov smiled bitterly and said: "Asiya, you ask so many questions at once, how should I answer you?"
"Then answer them one by one."
"Okay." Sokov nodded and began to answer Asia's questions one by one: "Yasha was accompanying the commander of the Third Front Army, General Chernyakhovsky, on his way to inspect the Third Army City and passed by Meri The city of Zak was suddenly bombarded by the German army. Chernyakhovsky was wounded, Yakov was wounded, and the general's adjutant was killed. As for Yakov's injury, he told me that it was just a shock injury, nothing more. It's serious. I'm worried that he may have internal injuries, so I plan to ask you to go to the 3rd Army Field Hospital on my behalf in the name of visit, and do a comprehensive examination on him to see if he has any internal injuries. You are a military doctor, Yasha Whether his injuries are life-threatening, you will know after you complete the examination." After figuring out what was going on, Asia nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Misha, I will go to the 3rd Group Army field field immediately. The hospital gave Yasha a comprehensive examination. But the journey is so far, can you arrange for two people to take me a ride?" After hearing what Asiya said, Lunev said with a smile: "Asiya, if only two people are sent, How can Misha rest assured about personal escort? He has arranged for Koshkin to take a company to escort you to the 3rd Army Field Hospital."
"What, asking Koshkin to lead a company to escort me to the field hospital of the 3rd Army?" Asia said in surprise: "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"In extraordinary times, it is better to be cautious." Sokov said to Asiya: "The current location of the 3rd Army is not far from the German-controlled city of Merizak. I am worried that you will encounter the enemy on the road. If you are surrounded by only I'm afraid two or three people can't guarantee your safety. And Koshkin brings a company, even if they encounter a small group of German troops, they can eliminate them in a short time." Soon, Asia was in Kosh Under the escort of Jin, he drove to the field hospital of the 3rd Army.
Lunev stood at the window, looking at the leaving convoy, and said to Sokov: "Misha, do you think something will happen to Yakov?"
"I don't know." Sokov shook his head and continued: "But I hope he will be safe and nothing will happen to him, otherwise there will be serious consequences." According to Sokov's statement, Lunev is I totally agree. Once something happens to Yakov, I'm afraid the supreme commander himself will be furious. As for what he will do, it's hard to guess.
So at this moment, not only Sokov and Lunev were praying for Yakov's safety, but countless people also had the same idea as them.
When Gorbatov, commander of the 3rd Army, received a call from Rokossovsky, he was a little surprised. Why was the marshal still calling him now that he was no longer under the command of the Second Front?
He asked tentatively: "Comrade Marshal, what instructions do you have?"
"Gorbatov, I heard that General Chernyakhovsky was shelled by the German army on his way to inspect your place." Rokossovsky asked: "Is this true?"
"Yes, Comrade Marshal." Gorbatov knew such a big thing, and Rokossovsky, the commander of the front army, would know it sooner or later, so he did not hide it, but answered truthfully: "Commander of the front army The soldier's arms and legs were hit by shrapnel, and he is currently receiving treatment in my field hospital. There should be no life-threatening danger."
"Besides General Chernyakhovsky, are there any casualties?"
"Yes, the general's adjutant was killed in the shelling." Gorbatov said: "There was also a new deputy chief of staff of the front army who was also injured in the shelling. However, his injury was not serious, he was just knocked unconscious. Now I’m resting in the room next to my headquarters.”
"Do you know the name of your deputy chief of staff?" Yakov had just taken office, so not many people knew him.
Gorbatov's troops had just returned from the Second Front, so it was not surprising that he did not recognize him as deputy chief of staff.
Therefore, after hearing Rokossovsky's question, Gorbatov did not arouse corresponding alertness, but said with this expression: "I heard others call him Yakov." Hearing that the deputy chief of staff was injured After it turned out to be Yakov, Rokossovsky's expression became serious.
He raised his voice and said sternly: "Gorbatov, since you know that the deputy chief of staff was also injured in the shelling, why didn't you send him to the hospital for treatment, but arranged to rest in your headquarters? What if? What happened to him? Can you bear the responsibility?" Even though Rokossovsky is a marshal, he is not Gorbatov's immediate boss now, so he heard the other party reprimand him in such a harsh tone. Gorbatov himself was also very unhappy: "Comrade Marshal, there is a health worker taking care of the deputy chief of staff. He looks fine. It doesn't look like something is wrong at all. There is no need to send him to the hospital." As soon as Erbatov finished speaking, Rokossovsky slapped the table hard and said sternly: "General Gorbatov, I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, that deputy chief of staff you don't care about. , is the eldest son of the Supreme Commander himself. If he does anything bad, I won't tell you what consequences it will bring. You should guess it." At this moment, even if a thunder exploded next to Gorbatov , and it was definitely not as shocking as Rokossovsky’s words.
After being silent for a long time, he asked cautiously: "Comrade Marshal, what you said is true? Are you kidding me?"
"Gorbatov, do you think I would joke with you on such an important matter?" Rokossovsky said unceremoniously: "I have already said what needs to be said, and what is next?" It's up to you how to deal with it." After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to speak again.
Gorbatov held the phone that came from the blind tone and was stunned for a long time. After he came to his senses, he immediately called his military commissar: "Comrade Military Commissar, hurry up and follow me next door. We need to send the injured deputy chief of staff to the hospital as soon as possible for a thorough examination. "
