Yakov was lying on the camp bed next door, chatting with the female health worker sitting next to him, when he suddenly saw Gorbatov and his military commissar rushing in from outside. Seeing the panic on their faces, Yakov thought Chernyakhovsky had an accident, and quickly asked tentatively: "General Gorbatov, what happened? Is the commander in danger?" ?」
Unexpectedly, Gorbatov came to Yakov and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff, because I have been busy with other things, I didn't pay enough attention to your physical condition. You see, there is nothing wrong now. How about I accompany you to the field hospital for a check-up?"
"Thank you, General Gorbatov." Yakov waved his hand to the other party and said, "I'm fine, just lie down and rest for a while."
"How can this work?" Gorbatov and his military commissar knew Yakov's true identity. How dare he let anything happen to him? They quickly said: "After all, you were injured by the shell. Although you look like It’s nothing serious, but no one can guarantee that there are no internal injuries. I think it’s better to go to the field hospital for a check-up.”
"Comrade General, I just asked you to go for a check-up, but you refused to go." The female health worker interrupted and said, "Look, our commander and military commissar are here now, so you can go and check it out. If nothing is really wrong, , everyone feels at ease."
"That's right." Hearing the female health worker speak for him, Gorbatov cast a grateful glance at her and followed her words: "Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff, you see, even the health worker is like this I said, you’d better go check it out. If everything is fine, everyone will feel at ease.”
Seeing that everyone was so welcoming, Yakov could only agree to go to the field hospital for a check-up to see if he had suffered any internal injuries. When he turned over and was about to get out of bed, Gorbatov stopped him: "Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff, you are injured and cannot move around casually. I think you should let the soldiers carry you." With that, he walked to the side. The military commissar winked and motioned for him to go out and call for help.
After a while, the military commissar came in with four soldiers. He first ordered the soldiers to put the stretcher on the ground, and then personally helped Yakov sit on it. After doing all this, he said to the soldiers: "Go to the field hospital, be careful and don't disturb Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff."
Gorbatov saw that the few soldiers brought in by the military commissar were all the most capable in the guard force. He couldn't help but nodded secretly and felt that the other party had done a good job. These strong soldiers carried Yakov A field hospital is perfect.
When a group of people arrived at the hospital, they saw many vehicles parked in the parking lot. Gorbatov asked an executing soldier to ask, only to learn that since the news of Chernyakhovsky's injury spread, , the commanders and military commissars of each group army rushed over directly, and even Lieutenant General Makarov, the military commissar of the front army, came.
Upon learning that Makarov was coming, Gorbatov quickly asked: "Where is he?"
"At the door of the operating room." The soldier replied, "I heard from people coming out that the corridor was full of people, and I couldn't even squeeze in."
"I know." Gorbatov realized that he had made two mistakes. After Chernyakhovsky was injured, he just arranged for someone to send him to the operating room for rescue, and then ignored him. Question; secondly, he just left Yakov in the next room and ignored him. If Marshal Rokossovsky hadn't called him, he wouldn't have known him until now and made a lot of mistakes.
He turned to the Military Commissar: "Military Commissar, General Makarov, the Front Military Commissar, is at the door of the operating room. You go over and say hello to him first. I will accompany the Deputy Chief of Staff for an examination."
"Okay." The military commissar nodded and said, "Then we will split into two groups. I will go to the door of the operating room to see General Makarov, and you will send the deputy chief of staff for a physical examination."
When the military commissioner came to the door of the operating room, he found that it was exactly as the soldiers on duty outside said. The corridor was crowded with people. If he hadn't shouted out his identity while squeezing, he would have been blocked at the other end of the operating room.
Makarov saw the military commissar, shook hands with him politely, and then asked with a straight face: "Where is your commander?"
"He has something to do and can't come for the time being."
"What's the matter
Could love be more important than the fact that the commander of the front army was injured and needed surgery? "
"He went to accompany someone for a physical examination." After the military commissar said this, he realized that his statement was not accurate enough. He quickly approached Makarov and whispered: "He went to accompany the deputy chief of staff for a physical examination. It is said that the deputy chief of staff went to have a physical examination." The chief of staff was also hit by the shelling and suffered minor injuries."
When he learned that Gorbatov was accompanying Yakov for a medical examination, Makarov swallowed back the words he was about to blame him for. He tried his best to put a smile on his face and asked politely: "Deputy Staff Officer The injury is not serious, right?"
"From the outside, there are no injuries." The military commissar explained to Makarov: "But how can we be certain about some things? After all, he was also a person who was bombarded, and he might have internal injuries, so it's better to go check it out to make sure I know it well."
Several group army commanders, chiefs of staff or military commissars who were close by heard the conversation between the two and curled their lips with dissatisfaction, feeling that the Third Army's approach was simply putting the cart before the horse. The commander of the front army was injured, but he did not care. But to be so polite to a deputy chief of staff and even accompany him for a check-up is simply outrageous.
But only Makarov and the military commissar understood how important the man Gorbatov personally accompanied was. But Yakov's identity is required to be kept secret, otherwise Makarov would have announced Yakov's identity in public. See with your own eyes what these grumbling subordinates will do after they know Yakov's true identity. Reaction.
At this time, Koshkin escorted Asiya to the headquarters of the 3rd Army, but was stopped by the sentry at the door. He politely said to Koshkin: "Comrade Captain, this is the headquarters of the headquarters. No one can wait." enter."
"I am Captain Koshkin from the 48th Army Headquarters. This is the wife of our commander. She is a good friend of the injured General Yakov. I heard that he was staying at the Army Headquarters after he was injured. It was specially Come to visit him." Koshkin said to the sentry: "Why don't you let us go quickly."
"Comrade Captain." After the sentry waited for Koshkin to finish speaking, he explained to him: "Even if I let you in, you won't be able to see the general you mentioned. He is no longer here."
Hearing that Yakov was not here, Asia was shocked. She thought something was wrong with the other party, so she quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened to that general?"
"I don't know exactly what happened." The soldier replied, "I just saw the commander, the military commissar and four soldiers from the guard company carrying the general you mentioned to the field hospital. By the way, they were followed by a female health worker."
The soldier's words made Asiya nervous, allowing the commander to personally take Yakov to the hospital. This meant that something serious might have happened, and he had to rush to the field hospital immediately to find out what happened. She turned to Koshkin and said: "Koshkin, let's go to the hospital."
Koshkin glanced at the troops on escort mission and asked Asia: "What about them?"
"Let them stay here and wait, just the two of us can go there."
A few minutes later, when Assia and Koshkin arrived at the hospital, they were also surprised by the dense number of vehicles in the parking lot. They did not expect to see so many cars.
A soldier on duty blocked the way for the two of them: "I'm sorry, this is an important hospital area, and no one else is allowed to enter."
Seeing the soldier blocking the way, Koshkin, who was furious, pushed him away and cursed: "Get away!"
After the soldiers were pushed away, although they were very unhappy, they saw that Koshkin was wearing a blue hat and knew that the other party was a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that they could not afford to offend, so they gave up the idea of stopping them.

You said in surprise: "Oh my god, what happened? Why are there so many generals here?"
Asia stood up on her toes and looked in the direction of the operating room. She saw a red light at the door, indicating that an operation was underway. "Koshkin, the operating room in front is undergoing an operation. I wonder if Yasha is in there."
"Give way, please give way." In order to find out who was performing the operation, Koshkin tried to squeeze out a path in front so that Asia could pass. The generals who were staggering around were about to have a fit when they saw clearly that squeezing among the crowd were a captain from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a young female military doctor. They guessed that the origin of the other party must be extraordinary, even in their hearts If you are dissatisfied, don’t dare to express it casually.
When Koshkin and Asiya squeezed to the door of the operating room, Asiya stepped forward and pushed open the door of the operating room and walked in. Because she was carrying a medical kit on her body, everyone assumed that she was a medical staff member and turned a blind eye to her breaking into the operating room. When Koshkin wanted to follow him in, he was grabbed by Makarov and asked dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Captain, who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Reporting to Comrade General," although Koshkin was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but when seeing a general like Makarov, he still had to maintain the necessary courtesy. He quickly straightened his back and replied: "I am the guard unit of the 48th Group Army. Yes. Our commander heard that General Yakov was injured by German artillery fire, and specifically ordered me to escort his wife Asia to visit and conduct a comprehensive inspection of General Yakov."
Makarov, who was still a little angry at first, suddenly lost his temper when Koshkin said he was here to visit Yakov. In addition, the female military doctor who had just entered the operating room was the commander of the 48th Group Army, General Sokov. Madam, he would not dare to complain even more.
The military commissar of the group army nearby came over and asked, "Comrade Captain, are you here to visit Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff?"
Koshkin did not know what position Yakov currently held in the Third Front. He could only say vaguely: "He is the Major General Yakov who was transferred to work with you not long ago."
"Yes, yes, Comrade Captain, you are talking about him." The military commissar said with a smile: "He is now the deputy chief of staff of our front army. By the way, this is the military commissar of the front army, General Makarov. .”
"Hello, Comrade General." Koshkin raised his hand to salute Makarov again, and said apologetically: "Please forgive me for not knowing your identity just now. I am rude to you. Please forgive me."
"It's okay. Those who don't know are not guilty." Makarov waved his hands and said, "You are also worried about General Yakov's health, that's why you are so reckless."
At this time, the door of the operating room opened, and Asiya hurriedly walked out and said to Koshkin: "Koshkin, we made a mistake, Yasha is not here."
"You are right, girl." Although Makarov was of a higher rank than Sokov, after learning that the other couple were both Yakov's friends, he naturally did not dare to offend him, so he laughed and said, "Yakov It is true that General Husband is not here. He is doing an inspection elsewhere at the moment. If you want to see him, I will have someone take you there."
"Comrade General, that's great." After hearing what Makarov said, Asia immediately said gratefully, "Then please send someone to take me over to see Yasha. Thank you!"
Makarov pulled the military commissar of the group army over and said to Asia: "Girl, he and another commander sent General Yakov. He naturally knows where he is now. Follow him. That’s it.”
"Please come with me, and I will take you to see General Yakov."
When the military commissar left with Koshkin and Asia, the army commanders present couldn't help but wonder: Who is this new deputy chief of staff and why did they hear that he was injured? Even the commanders of other troops sent people to visit, and even sent their wives.
Soon, Koshkin and Asia were taken to the place where Yakov was undergoing examination. From a distance, they saw Gorbatov sitting on a bench outside the consulting room in a daze. The military commissar hurried over and asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, I wonder how the deputy chief of staff is doing?"
"The few tests I've done so far are all normal.
. Gorbatov said: "There are still two final inspections. If there are no problems, then everything is fine." Seeing Koshkin and Asia following his military commissar, he asked curiously, "Military Comrade committee member, who are these two?"
"Comrade Commander, let me introduce you." The military commissar quickly said to Gorbatov: "This female military doctor is the wife of General Sokov, commander of the 48th Group Army. I heard that the deputy chief of staff was injured. She came here specifically to visit. The captain beside her specially escorted her here."
"Comrade General," Asia waited for the military committee member to finish, then walked up to Gorbatov and asked tentatively: "Is Yasha inside?"
"Yes, he is..."
Before Gorbatov finished speaking, Asia opened the door and walked in.
"Comrade General." Seeing Gorbatov's stunned look, Koshkin quickly explained to him: "Our commander and his wife are good friends with General Yakov. I heard that he was injured, so naturally I was very worried. He was worried, so he sent us over to take a look and find out the extent of his injuries."
