() After returning from the secret base, I became a forgotten person. Except for the doctor Sergey who came to rounds every day, the nurse who dripped eye drops, and the guards who stood guard outside the door, no one appeared again. In my ward.

After almost a week, not only Krochkov has not been there, but even Bezikov, who is closest to me, has not seen a trace. What does this mean? Faced with this abnormal situation, I couldn't help but start thinking about it, thinking and thinking again and again, recalling every word I said to Ustinov at the base that day, and found that I didn't say anything wrong at all, probably not. Falling into the fate of being hidden in the snow, why no one came to see me?

Just as I was about to fall into despair, there was a sound of footsteps at the door. It was Bezikov who came, and this thought came to my mind immediately, and then I lifted my body up with my elbow and looked towards the door impatiently.

After I saw the few people who appeared at the door, I sighed in my heart and lay down again in disappointment. Then I asked casually, "Dean Ossiminen, what's the matter?"

Ossiminen walked up to me, leaned down and said respectfully to me: "Comrade General, after this period of treatment, Dr. Sergei and I agree that you can be discharged from the hospital. I don't know what you mean. How?"∮

When I heard that I could be discharged from the hospital, I yelled "Thank God" in my heart. My heart said that when I lay down on the bed like this, I guess my people are about to fall apart. He hurriedly sat up and asked nervously, "Comrade Dean, I don't know what I can do for discharge from the hospital?"

Ossiminen said with a smile on his face: "Comrade General, as long as you are willing, you can go through the discharge procedures at any time." After saying this, he explained to me, "If the beds in the inpatient department are not very tight recently, even The corridors are full of patients. You can stay here for a while."

I found out about the tight beds in the inpatient department a long time ago. I wanted to take a rest for two more days, and when my eyesight was fully restored, I would ask when I could be discharged from the hospital. Now that Osiminin took the initiative to raise this matter. I also said logically: "Then I will arrange for someone to go through the discharge procedures for me." After that, I called Yushchenko out loud.

After Yushchenko walked in, I immediately told him: "Comrade Captain, you will go to the office with Comrade Dean later and help me with the discharge procedures."

Ossiminen waited for Yushchenko to finish my order, and the smile on his face increased: "Thank you, Comrade Osyanina. By the way, I think I need to remind you that your wound is now completely healed. . But within three months, it is best not to do strenuous exercise."

"I remembered, Comrade Dean." Since I was anxious to leave the place where I had been for more than half a month, I urged Yushchenko after saying this to Ossiminen: "Comrade Captain, It's getting late, hurry up and go with Comrade Dean to complete my discharge procedures."

After Yushchenko and Osiminen left, I was discharged from the hospital. There is a worry about where to stay. If I'm okay alone, I can go to Zhukov's cheeky. Ask him to help me arrange a place to stay, but now there are eight guards besides me, so the accommodation arrangement is not so convenient.

When I was worrying, I heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the door. I said to my heart that Yushchenko's movements were quite swift, and he came back after completing the procedures so soon. Because I am packing things up. So without looking back, he asked, "Are the procedures completed?"

"Procedures, what are the procedures?" The newcomer couldn't help asking, confusedly, when he heard my question.

Hearing Bezikov's familiar voice, I couldn't help but secretly joy, it seems Zhukov still has not forgotten me. Finally Zikov was sent to find me, and there must be some important task this time. Thinking of this, I stood up straight, turned around, and asked Bezikov with a smile: "Comrade Colonel, it's been a long time since I saw you. How have you been?"

Seeing the officer I was laying on the bed, Bezikov asked tentatively, "Are you planning to leave the hospital?"

"Yes." I nodded and gave him an affirmative answer: "Dean Osiminen just came here. He said that my eye wound has almost recovered and I can leave the hospital and go home to rest."

Bezikov turned his head and looked at the door, then asked, "Where are you going?"

I was worrying about where I would go next. Hearing his question, I hurriedly followed his words and said: "Colonel, you just don’t ask about this. I'm still going to ask you for help. Look at us. Personally, it's impossible to sleep on the street."

"Sleep on the street?!" Bezikov heard me say this, and said with a smile: "Damn it, you are a general now. At your level, who has the right to let you and your men sleep on the street. Don't worry. , The accommodation is left to me, I will arrange it for you later."

Now that the accommodation issue has been settled, the stone in my heart has fallen to the ground. Seeing Bezikov's hurried appearance, it's not like the one who came to talk to me. There should be some important task. So, after a moment of silence, I asked: "Colonel, you are here today, don't you know what's going on?"

"Oh, it's not for the current situation." Bezikov sat down on my bed, looked up at me and said, "After defeating our Southwest Front and Voronezh Front, the Germans concentrated their superior forces on Kiev. Overwhelmed."

Hearing that the situation in Kiev is not optimistic, I can't help but worry about the old men who stayed there: "Colonel, how is the situation there? Can you withstand the German offensive?"

Bezikov shook his head slowly and said, "The situation is not optimistic. Although we have two tank corps, one infantry corps, and three infantry divisions there, we are still at a disadvantage compared with the strength of the German army. Besides, the German army still has much more tanks, artillery and battlefield dominance than us. According to my analysis, it is a miracle that General Rebarko can stay there for a week."

"What is Comrade Marshal going to do?" Thinking that if Rebarko and the others are encircled, only the fate of being captured or killed is waiting for them, so I can't wait to ask: "He intends to send reinforcements, or let General Rebarko Withdraw from Kiev before the encirclement of the enemy is formed?"

"Withdraw from Kiev?" Bezikov gave me a strange look after hearing what I said. He said to himself: "According to the intentions of superiors, no matter how great sacrifices are made, you cannot easily abandon Kiev. The troops drawn from Rokosovsky’s central front a few days ago suffered a lot on the way to Kiev. To the German bombing and blocking. After a few days of fierce fighting, they had to withdraw back to the starting point of the offensive."

After listening to Bezikov's words. My heart sank sharply, worrying about the fate of the tens of thousands of troops remaining near Kiev. We must know that in the Battle of Kiev at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, more than 600,000 Soviet troops became prisoners of the German army. Today we have only a few tens of thousands. If we want to withstand the onslaught of 200,000 German troops, This is really easy said than done.

After a long time, I said in a heavy tone: "Colonel, General Rebarko, they lack sufficient supplies. Once they are surrounded by the Germans, they will soon run out of ammunition and food, even if the Germans do not attack, they will be hungry. It can make them lose their combat effectiveness."

Regarding my statement, Bezikov nodded and said in agreement: "Lida, you are right. Back then, hundreds of thousands of people did not wait to block the enemy rushing towards Kiev and wanted General Rybalko's Tens of thousands of people blocked the enemy's onslaught and held Kyiv firmly. Unless there is a miracle."

As we were talking, Yushchenko hurried in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he said loudly to me: "Comrade General, the discharge procedures are completed, can we leave?" After speaking, he discovered that Bezikov was present in the house, and he hurriedly came to stand at attention. Say hello to Bezikov.

Seeing Yushchenko's return, Bezikov stood up, tidied the belt around his waist, and then said to me: "Okay, Lida. Comrade Lieutenant is also back. Let's go now."

"Colonel, don't you know where to go?" Yushchenko asked blankly.

"Zhukov asked me to find a few vacant houses for you near his headquarters, and then you will live there." After saying this, he said to me who was still wearing a hospital gown: "Lida , You hurry up and change your clothes, Captain Yushchenko and I are waiting for you outside." After speaking, I took Yushchenko and walked out without forgetting to close the door of the room.

The private house that Bezikov arranged for us is on the same street as Zhukov's headquarters, and it can be reached by walking up to seven or eight minutes. When arranging rooms for us, Bezikov also specifically introduced to me: "Almost all the residents on this street were evacuated to the rear when the German soldiers were approaching Moscow. And our headquarters moved to the back. After here, in order to work, we temporarily requisitioned all the vacant houses here to house our commanders."

"Colonel," after seeing that Bezikov had arranged everything, I planned to leave. I hurriedly stopped him and asked, "I don't know what I can go to see Comrade Marshal?"

Bezikov raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then said: "You rest here first, I'll go back and ask the marshal for instructions, and see when he can meet you." After that, he nodded at me and walked out. .

Seeing Bezikov's back, Yushchenko walked to me and asked in a low voice, "Comrade General, the place to live is solved, what should I do with food?"

"Eat?" I looked at Yushchenko, and said in a puzzled way: "You can go to the street to buy what you want to eat. You don't need to ask me for instructions."

Hearing what I said, Yushchenko's face was embarrassed. He murmured and explained to me: "Comrade General, you don't know anything. When you were hospitalized, we were all caught by you and ate the food in the hospital. But now that we leave the hospital, we need to find a new one. Eat somewhere. You must know that the city now implements a rationing system. Without a ration card issued by the city, you can't buy anything even if you have money."

When I waited for him to finish speaking, I immediately understood the reason for his embarrassment. But under the current circumstances, I can't solve the issue of the ration certificate for them. I can only wait for Bezikov to come back later and let him think of a solution.

Seeing Yushchenko still standing in front of me waiting for my answer, I waved at him and said, "Lieutenant, you take your people to clean the room first. As for the ration certificate, wait for help. When Colonel Cove comes back, I will ask him to help everyone solve this problem."

Although it was easy to say, I was worried in my heart. After all, the issuance of ration certificates has very strict regulations. Even with the help of Bezikov, it is not easy to get enough ration certificates. .

As soon as Bezikov appeared in the afternoon, I immediately took him and told him about the fact that we did not have a ration card. After listening to him, he was silent for a moment and said: "Lida, the city currently has strict management of ration certificates. Even if I go out, the other party can give me two more ration certificates. And now you have someone who wants to It’s impossible for each person to have a ration certificate."

When I heard him say this, my face suddenly showed a look of worry. If there is no ration certificate, and I can't buy anything with money, then there is a possibility of starvation among my subordinates? I was planning to beg Bezikov again to help us figure out a solution, but he didn't expect him to speak first: "Well, let me get you three ration certificates first, so that you can get the necessary food. As for For the rest of the food, I can send someone to bring you some."

Although Bezikov's arrangement is difficult to satisfy, I also understand in my heart that it is the greatest help he can provide to us in my face~lightnovelpub.net~ quickly represents all Of people thanked him.

When he waited for me to finish speaking, he pulled my sleeves and walked out, and said, "Let's go, Lida, let me go to the headquarters. Comrade Marshal is waiting for you there."

Yushchenko was the only one who left the room with us, and the remaining soldiers stayed at home to clean.

While on the road, Bezikov said to me with a look of worry: "Lida, the situation in Kiev is worse than we thought. According to the latest information, the material transportation line between us and them has been The Germans cut off, and within two days, they will be completely out of food. Comrade Marshal asked me to call you over, to hear if you can do anything better."

Listening to Bezikov's words, I couldn't help but smile again and again, saying that I was not a god, and the army was besieged by the Germans. Famous generals like Zhukov were helpless. Can I think of a good way?

Bezikov took me into Zhukov's office, walked to Zhukov who was looking at the map, and straightened his body and reported: "Comrade Marshal, I have brought General Oshanina." (to be continued. , The novel is better and updated faster!
