Chapter 1083 The Truth (Part 1)

   Sokov led the guard platoon and escorted the captured cooking soldiers back to the headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, Sokov told Samoilov: "Lieutenant, go and bring those two storekeepers over."

   Soon, two storekeepers were brought into the headquarters. The two thought they were brought here today to be shot, so they knelt down in front of Sokov and begged for mercy: "Comrade Commander, please don't shoot us, give us another chance, we will definitely take the blame and make meritorious service of."

   "Who said you were going to be shot?" Sokov looked at the two terrified treasury officers and said, "I have someone bring you here today, just to make you commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Stand up."

   When the two storekeepers heard that they would not be shot, they hurriedly got up from the ground, stood in front of Sokov with their hands down, and listened to what he was going to say later.

   "I called you here today because I want you to identify whether the person who assigned you the task is in the room." Sokov said, waving at the two of them: "Let's get started."

  The eyes of the two treasury officers swept over every soldier in the room. When they saw the tall cooking soldier, the two of them glanced at him because he was wearing a soldier's costume. But soon the two realized something was wrong, and turned their eyes back to him again. After a brief astonishment, the two pointed at the cooking soldier at the same time: "It's him."

   "Are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?" Sokov glanced at Miyakotin and Makhmutov who were standing next to him, and deliberately asked the two storekeepers: "If you admit the wrong person, you should know what the consequences will be."

   "I know, I know." The two warehouse managers nodded vigorously like chickens pecking at rice, "We will never admit that it is him. There is a black mole on the tip of his right ear."

  Hearing this, Samoilov hurried over to check it carefully, and then reported loudly to Sokov: "Report to Comrade Commander, there is indeed a mole on the tip of his right ear."

   "Okay, take these two storage tubes down."

   After Miyakotin and other soldiers took away the two storekeepers, they asked inexplicably, "Comrade Commander, I would like to ask, what did the cooking soldier in my division do wrong?"

   "Comrade Colonel, let me explain to you." Witkov interrupted: "The night before yesterday, the enemy attacked the hotel where General Zhukov was staying. Do you know about this?"

   "I heard." Miyakotin nodded and replied, "But what does this have to do with my cooking soldiers?"

"The German officers and soldiers who attacked the hotel were all wearing uniforms of our army. These uniforms were provided by the two storekeepers who were just taken away." Witkov looked at Miyakotin and asked: "But Comrade Colonel, Do you know who gave them the order to prepare our uniforms for the Germans?"

  Miyakotin couldn't help being moved when he heard Witkov's question: "Could it be that my cooking soldier did it?"

"That's right." Witkov nodded and continued: "At that time, in order to avoid revealing his identity, he deliberately changed into a captain's uniform. I also called you specifically yesterday and asked you to join the army under your command. Check out the people who meet the characteristics. Why didn't you find out that he was by your side?"

Faced with Vitkov's questioning, Myakotin replied with some embarrassment: "Comrade Chief of Staff, you said in your notice that you are looking for a tall soldier with a lame leg. He is indeed a tall man, but he walks without a limp. legs..."

Before Miyakotin could finish speaking, Makhmutov leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Comrade commander, I forgot to tell you that this cook's feet were scalded by boiling water a few days ago, so he walked Limps a bit from time to time."

  Hearing what his political commissar said, Miyakotin had nothing to say. He blushed and said to Sokov and Vitkov: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, Comrade Chief of Staff, my work was not meticulous, and I didn't even notice that the enemy was hiding around us, which almost caused a big mistake. , please criticize and punish me.”

"And me," since Miyako Kyoto took the initiative to admit his mistakes to Sokov and the others, Makhmutov, the political commissar, naturally couldn't stand by and not express his opinions, he quickly said: "I have already discovered that I am also to blame for the fact that he walked with a limp and did not report this to the commander immediately, and that he got away with it."

"Okay, okay, you are all responsible for this matter, just be more careful next time." Sokov didn't want to punish some important commanders before the big war came, so he was going to make big things into small things. The two said: "I'm going to interrogate this latent enemy next. Should you stay and listen, or go back to your own troops?"

   "I want to stay and listen." Miyakotin just admitted his mistake to Sokov, how could he just leave like this. He wanted to stay here and listen in, to find out if there were any other lurking enemies in his army.

"Since I have been found out by you, I will tell the truth." Seeing that his identity was found out, the cook soldier no longer concealed his identity, but said truthfully: "I used to belong to the Sixteenth Army. I was captured in the battle of Ma. Later, the Germans recruited volunteers in the prisoner-of-war camp and said that they could survive. I was confused for a while, so I joined their Eastern Battalion.

  When the Germans attacked Stalingrad, because the attack was frustrated, they sent a lot of people like me to the city. I thought I would be incorporated into the infantry division, but unexpectedly I entered the artillery division and became a cook. "

   After figuring out the origin of the other party, Sokov asked again: "Then tell me, how did you know that General Zhukov came to Luhansk and made a plan to assassinate him?"

"The matter of General Zhukov in Luhansk has long been no secret in the army. In order to achieve the goal of boosting morale, the political workers even publicized it on different occasions, letting everyone know that as long as there is Zhukov, there will be a lot of people. Launch an attack on the German army quickly, so as to unite the army and boost morale.

  We passed the news of Zhukov in Luhansk to the Germans through the radio. The Germans called back, saying that they were preparing to send an airborne force into Luhansk, and asked us to cooperate actively. I thought that if they were wearing Soviet uniforms, it would definitely help their actions, so I contacted my accomplices working in the clothing warehouse and asked them to prepare military uniforms. "

   "How did you hand over this batch of military uniforms to those German paratroopers?" Sokov continued to ask.

"We have a contact point in the north of the city. After the two storekeepers get the military uniforms, they will send the things to the contact point. Since no one lives near the contact point, the German paratroopers gather there, and it is not easy to be found. "

   "Where is your contact point?" Sokov remembered Sivakov telling himself that the German paratroopers who were being tracked disappeared in the north of the city. It seems that they hid in this contact point. He picked up a map of the city and handed it to the cooking soldier: "Point it out to me!"
