Chapter 1277 Assia is missing

   When he learned that the field hospital had been attacked, Sokov couldn't help feeling distraught. He was worried that something might happen to Assia. On the way to the 182nd Division's defense area, the driver had already taken risks and drove the car very fast on the road full of bomb craters, but Sokov still felt that the speed of the car was as slow as a snail.

  The jeep was parked at the gate of the 182nd Division. Samoilov just opened the door and was about to go to the back to help Sokov open the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped on the ground, he saw Sokov eagerly opened the door and jumped out, carrying an assault rifle and rushing into the division headquarters.

The two sentinels standing at the door saw a small convoy parked at the gate of the division, and when they were guessing where the other party came from, they saw an officer with a gun rushing out of one of the jeeps, heading straight for the division headquarters. . Just as the two wanted to reach out their hands to stop each other, they saw clearly that the person who was rushing in was Sokov, so they quickly stopped and raised their hands to their foreheads to salute him.

  When Sokov broke into the division headquarters, he saw Colonel Khokhlov, Political Commissar Colonel Shepilov, and the Chief of Staff standing by the wall with their backs to the door, looking up at the map hanging above.

   "Commanders, hello!" Sokov walked into the room and asked the three of them, "How is the current situation?"

  Hearing Sokov's voice, the three of them quickly turned around and raised their hands neatly to salute Sokov. Among them, Colonel Sepilov, the political commissar, said sadly: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, I have alarmed you so late."

  Sokov was eager to know Assia's situation, so he raised his hand and interrupted Shepilov's words, and asked bluntly, "Can any of you tell me what happened, and what's the situation in the field hospital?"

  After the three looked at each other, the chief of staff took a step forward, straightened his back and said to Sokov, "Comrade Commander, please allow me to report to you."

  Sokov put the assault rifle in his hand on the table: "Speak."

"An hour ago, I heard fierce gunshots coming from the direction of the field hospital, so I called the hospital immediately, but I couldn't get through. I knew something might have happened, so I notified the division commander and political commissar while Let the guard battalion transfer a company to the direction of the hospital, but find out what happened."

   "Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov looked at the division chief of staff, and asked indifferently, "What happened there?"

"As far as I know, there is probably a platoon disguised as an enemy of our army, who sneaked through our defense line and tried to attack our division headquarters." The chief of staff reported to Sukov: "They He entered the location of the field hospital by mistake, and was identified by the sentinel on duty, and a firefight broke out."

"The sentries on duty saw through their identities?" Sokov thought to himself that since the Germans were disguised as Soviet troops, they would definitely pay attention to the details that are easy to pass through. Besides, the enemy still appeared at night, so how could the sentries easily see through the enemy? Well, does he have piercing eyes? He asked curiously: "How did he see through the enemy?"

"It's very simple, Comrade Commander." The chief of staff glanced at Sokov's assault rifle on the table, and continued: "Although the enemy is wearing our army's uniform, he is also holding our army's standard weapon: the Popov submachine gun And Mosin Nagant rifles. But they never dreamed that our division had all been replaced with assault rifles before the battle of Kursk.

  In the middle of the night, a group of soldiers carrying Bobosa submachine guns and Mosin Nagant rifles appeared in our division's defense area. Even if they were wearing our army uniforms, they would definitely arouse the suspicion of the sentries. After asking a few words, the other party immediately revealed his secrets, and the two sides exchanged fire. "

   "Is the battle in the field hospital not over yet?" Sokov heard the sound of gunshots and sporadic explosions in the distance, and asked anxiously, "Will our wounded and medical staff not be harmed?"

  As soon as Sokov said, the chief of staff, who was still reporting the situation, suddenly became silent. After he stopped reporting, he looked at Khokhlov and Shepilov for help, hoping that they could help him out.

"Comrade Commander," Seeing the embarrassment on the chief of staff's face, Shepilov coughed lightly, and said to Sokov with some embarrassment: "Although the battle in the field hospital is still going on, we sent The guard companies in the past have wiped out most of the enemies, and most of the wounded and medical staff in the hospital have been rescued."

  Sokov heard what Shepilov said very generally, so he guessed that there were still many wounded and medical staff who did not escape, and Assia was one of them. Although he and Asiya are only couples in name, how can he stand by and watch her in danger now.

  Thinking of this, Sokov stood up, grabbed the assault rifle on the table, and said to the three of them, "Send two soldiers to guide me, and I want to go to the field hospital to have a look."

   "Comrade Commander," knowing that Sokov was going to the field hospital in person, Khokhlov hastily stopped him, persuading him, "It's too dangerous there, you can't risk your life."

   "Colonel, my wife is in danger, I have to rush to rescue him immediately." Sokov glared at Khokhlov and said, "Get out of the way immediately!"

"Comrade Commander, you can't take risks." Shepilov hurriedly stood in front of Sokov, persuading him, "As for Asya, please rest assured, we will definitely rescue her safely. "

"Get out of the way!" Sokov pushed away the two colonels standing in front of him, and said angrily, "You just need to send someone to guide me, the soldiers I brought are fully capable of destroying the enemy. "

Seeing Sokov's stubbornness, Khokhlov knew that he could not dissuade him, so he could only turn his head and say to the chief of staff and Shepilov: "You two stay at the division headquarters to control the overall situation, and I will personally accompany the commander to the field hospital .”

  When Sokov and Khokhlov walked out of the division headquarters, Samoilov greeted him. He had already learned from the soldiers outside the door what happened in the field hospital. Seeing Sokov come out, he asked straight to the point: "Comrade Commander, there is a battle taking place at the field hospital, and Asia may be in danger. Do we need to rush there to rescue her?"

   "Comrade Lieutenant, you are right." Sokov nodded and replied: "Assia is in danger now, we have to rush to rescue her."

   Sokov and others led the guard platoon, under the guidance of Khokhlov, to the location of the field hospital, where sporadic fighting is still taking place. Although the visibility was not high and battles were happening everywhere, Sokov still accurately judged the location of the German army based on the gunshots.

He turned his head and said to the guard platoon soldiers standing behind him: "Comrades, a wave of enemies wearing our uniforms sneaked into the field hospital and started a firefight with our troops. Because they didn't know that we had all changed our uniforms Therefore, the enemies who come to sneak attack are equipped with Popov submachine guns and Mosin Nagant rifles. As long as there are shooting sounds from these two weapons, it is the enemy's hiding place. Your task Just wipe them out quickly and completely."

"Action, brothers." Samoilov waited for Sokov to finish, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Assia is in danger now, even if you sacrifice your own lives, you must ensure that her safety."

  The soldiers of the guard platoon heard what Samoilov said, and after a loud promise, they separated in groups of three, formed a battle formation, and rushed towards the position where the enemy might be hidden.

  Samoilov was worried about Sokov's safety, so he personally led two soldiers by his side and rushed forward with him. Soldiers appeared from time to time along the way, and as long as they were not holding assault rifles, Samoilov would shoot and knock them down without hesitation. As for whether there will be accidental injury, he has not considered that much.

  The field hospital is located in a residential area, where there are some two-story buildings. But most were destroyed by German artillery fire or bombs, and tents were erected next to some of the ruins, and the wounded lived in these tents.

Sokov opened the door curtain of one of the tents, and immediately smelled a strong smell of blood. With the help of the firelight from a distance, he saw clearly that there were seven or eight wounded lying in the tent, lying motionless in the cold On the ground, it should have been dead for a long time.

  After Sokov exited the tent, a soldier pointed to a broken wall not far away and whispered to him: "Comrade Commander, I heard a voice coming from behind that broken wall."

   "Is it an enemy?" Sokov asked.

  The soldier shook his head and replied, "No. I seem to hear a woman's voice."

  Knowing that there was a woman behind the broken wall, Sokov immediately thought that maybe Asiya was hiding there, so he walked over quickly. When he got closer, although he heard some movement behind the wall, it seemed that the people inside were frightened.

Sokov stopped in front of the broken wall and said in a low voice: "Listen, people inside, I'm my own, don't be afraid." After the movement inside stopped, he continued to say, "I want to go there Now, don't shoot, lest you accidentally hurt him."

  Sokov went around the broken wall, and with the help of the firelight, he saw clearly that it was a female hygienist curled up in the corner. She stuffed her mouth with her fist, trying not to make a sound, so as not to disturb the possible enemies nearby, her eyes filled with tears.

   "Have the enemies left?" The female health worker saw Sokov's uniform clearly, and asked in a mosquito-like voice. She was afraid that Sokov would say that the enemies were still outside.

   "Don't worry, comrade hygienist, we have chased away the enemies." Seeing that the person behind the broken wall was not Asiya, Sokov couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Seeing that the female health worker was overly frightened, he bent down, touched her head, and comforted her, "You are safe now."

  Hearing Sokov's answer, the female hygienist seemed to be drained of all her strength, and began to cry aloud. Sokov knew that she was crying at this moment to relieve her nervousness, and there was no harm in crying properly. He turned around and rushed to Samoilov who came in and gave him a look, beckoning him to comfort the female health worker, then turned and left with the two soldiers.

  The guard company sent by Khokhlov and the troops to protect the hospital were unable to wipe out the sneak attacking German army for a long time, entirely because the German army wore the same uniform as their own, so that the soldiers could not accurately distinguish between enemy and friend. Khokhlov heard what Sokov said to his subordinates.

  As soon as Sokov led his men away, Khokhlov immediately called several soldiers and communicated how to identify the enemy through weapons to the troops who were fighting the enemy.

   Commanders and fighters fighting the enemy, although some of them know how to identify the enemy and the enemy through weapons. But the vast majority of people don't know this. Some unlucky fighters even think that the enemy is their own when they face the enemy. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he was sniped by the enemy.

  The method of how to identify the enemy and the friend at this moment, as soon as it is popularized in the combat troops, everyone knows that the weapon can be used to identify the enemy and the friend. As long as the weapon in the opponent's hand is different from your own, you will immediately shoot without hesitation. As for accidental injury, it is not within the scope of everyone's consideration. Even if you know that the person who was knocked down was your own, you can only blame the other party for being unlucky. Who told you to use the enemy's weapon without any problems.

  The battle ended after half an hour, and Khokhlov sent people to start counting the battlefield. At this time, the role of Sokov in ordering everyone to wear ID badges was brought into full play. The commanders and fighters of the 182nd Division can distinguish the enemy from the enemy and identify the identity of the deceased according to the identity card on the corpse in the shortest time.

  After completing the statistics, Khokhlov came over to report to Sokov and said: "Comrade Commander, the results of the battle have been calculated."

   "How about our casualties?"

   "Three hundred and fifty-seven people were sacrificed, of which two hundred and forty were wounded." Khokhlov reported: "Sixty-one enemies were killed by us."

After hearing the number of casualties reported by Khokhlov, the corners of Sokov's mouth twitched violently. He really didn't expect that the enemy's sneak attack actually caused the casualties of the enemy to reach six times that of the opponent. To describe it as heavy casualties, Not at all excessive.

   After taking a deep breath, Sokov asked tentatively, "Have you found Asia?"

"No."

   "What, not found?"

"Comrade Commander, don't worry." Seeing Sokov's eyes widened, Khokhlov quickly comforted him and said, "I didn't send you a death notice, although we didn't find Assi among the survivors." Ya, and she was not found in the body."

   "I can't see anyone alive, but I can't see the dead body." Sokov frowned and asked, "Then where will she go? Has the world evaporated?"
