Chapter 1870

Seeing Sidolin salute to himself, Koshkin was a little confused. He waved his hands in a panic and said, "Colonel Sidolin, you are so polite. My responsibility is to protect the safety of the commander. It's my job."

   "Comrade Chief of Staff," Kurishenko said behind Sidolin's back: "Let the German translator in the division come. I think we need to interrogate this prisoner."

   "There is no need for an interpreter," Sokov shook his head and said, "He speaks Russian very well, and he can be interrogated directly."

   Hearing what Sokov said, Kurishenko gave up his plan to find an interpreter, but went directly to the fake captain, and asked with a serious expression: "Your name, and why do you want to pretend to be an officer of our army?"

  The fake captain was quite cooperative, and he took the initiative to reply, "My name is Fisher, and I have the rank of lieutenant. My mission is to kidnap your commander Sokov and bring him to our army's headquarters."

   Kurishenko turned his head and glanced at Sokov, and continued to ask: "How do you know that the commander is here?"

"My companion is a Ukrainian." Fischer replied truthfully: "After he found out where General Sokov was, he happened to see the commander of the 124th regiment leaving, so I went in pretending to be an officer of the division. Trick him."

Having said that, he glared at Koshkin fiercely with hatred: "But I didn't expect that he was spotted by this lieutenant. I saw his expression like this, and I really thought he and General Sokov It's all my fault."

   "Your companion is Ukrainian?" Sokov caught a key word from the other party's words. He raised his chin at the driver and told Koshkin: "Comrade Lieutenant, go and interrogate him."

   "Okay." Koshkin agreed, came to the driver, and asked with a straight face: "Your name, have you ever served in our army before?"

  But when the driver heard Koshkin's question, he just snorted coldly, then turned his head to the side, as if he didn't even bother to answer Koshkin's question.

   Seeing that the opponent did not cooperate, Koshkin was about to punch him, but Sokov stopped him: "Lieutenant Koshkin, this is the division headquarters, don't do anything here."

Hearing what Sokov said, Koshkin lowered his fist. He understood what Sokov meant. He could use some means to deal with such stubborn diehards, but it was best not to do it in the division headquarters. : "Understood, Comrade Commander, I will immediately take him to another room for interrogation."

   Just as Koshkin greeted the two soldiers carrying the driver and was about to take the man to the next door for interrogation, Major Izvikov, the commander of the Second Battalion of Division Guards, came in from outside.

   Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then asked Kurishenko in a low voice: "Comrade commander, why did you arrest these two officers? Did they make any mistakes?"

"This is not our officer." Sidolin said to Izvikov: "Both of them are our enemies. They pretended to be officers of our army. They were trying to kidnap Comrade Commander. Fortunately, Lieutenant Koshkin saw through it. It was because of their identity that they shattered their conspiracy." He pointed at the stubborn driver with his hand, "Well, this is said to be a Ukrainian, and he used his identity as a disguise to help the Germans spy on the military situation."

   Knowing that one of the two captured enemies was actually a Ukrainian, Izvikov walked up to that person, wanting to see clearly what kind of person this Ukrainian scum was.

  After seeing the other person's face clearly, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Nayi, is it you or your ghost?"

The driver, who hadn't spoken yet, saw Izvekov calling out his own face, and the muscles on his face twitched violently a few times, and then said: "I really didn't expect that after such a long time, you can still recognize it." out of me."

"When you became my subordinate, there were only more than 200 people in the guerrilla team, and I can clearly remember everyone's appearance." Izvekov looked at the other party and asked puzzledly, "Didn't you attack the open air with the deputy captain?" Did you die in the battle with the enemy when you were in the mine? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Facing Izvikov’s question, Nayi had no choice but to say: “That’s right, when we went to attack the open pit that day, we were indeed ambushed by the Germans. But I didn’t die, but was wounded and captured. .”

   "Captured by the Germans?" Hearing this, Izvikov immediately understood what was going on, and a trace of anger appeared on his face, "Then you became a shameful traitor."

"Captain," Nayi used Izvikov's original job title, "I don't want to surrender to the Germans either, but their methods of torture are so powerful that I really can't bear it, so I can only choose to serve them." .”

   "Shameful traitor." Hearing this, Izvikov drew out his pistol, pointed at Nai, and said through gritted teeth, "I'll shoot you."

"Wait a minute, Major Izvikov." Sokov stopped the impulsive Izvikov again: "He can't die yet, we still need to get some useful information from him." After saying this After speaking, Sokov told Koshkin, "Lieutenant, take both of them down and see if we can get some useful information out of their mouths."

"Don't worry," Koshkin, who was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is an expert in interrogation. Even if the other party is a rabbit, he can ask useful information, so he assured Sokov: "I will let him put the Tell me everything you know, honestly."

After Koshkin and the soldiers left with the two prisoners, Sidolin stepped forward to apologize to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I am really sorry, because of our negligence in our work, we almost put you in danger. "

  Sokov said magnanimously: "You just occupied the city, and you haven't had time to eliminate the enemy agents in the city. You can't blame you for this. But next time, be careful, and don't let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes."

"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." What happened today made Sidolin afraid even thinking about it. He patted his chest and assured Sokov, "I will immediately arrange for people to attack the city." We will conduct investigations to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

For Sokov's safety, he offered: "Comrade Commander, we still don't know how many enemies are lurking in the city. For your safety, you should stay at our division headquarters until the Army Command understands love." I dare not say anything else, but your safety can definitely be guaranteed."

   "Major Izvikov," Sidolin turned to Izvikov, and said to him: "The composition of the guerrillas is complicated. I hope you will bring reliable personnel to protect the division headquarters."

  If the division headquarters were still in the forest, Izvekov would definitely consider it a provocation when Sidolin said these words. But at this moment, after listening to it, he was full of wit. A hero who he thought had died in the battle had defected to the Germans, which somewhat made him unable to step down.

Therefore, after listening to Sidolin's words, he could only say with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Comrade Chief of Staff, I will be incorporated into the second battalion of the division's security guards. The bad elements mixed in."

   "It's good that you understand this." Sidolin nodded at him and said, "You have nothing to do here. You can help Lieutenant Koshkin interrogate the two prisoners."

Izvekov was staying in the division headquarters at the moment, feeling awkward. Hearing Sidolin's words, he immediately nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Comrade Chief of Staff, I'll go right away. Interrogate prisoners of war for Lieutenant Koshkin."

  After calm was restored in the headquarters, Sidolin asked Sokov for instructions: "Comrade Commander, all regiment-level commanders are here. Would you like to say something to everyone?"

"I don't have any new combat missions for you for the time being, so I don't need to give you instructions." Sokov looked at Kurishenko and said, "General Kurishenko, I just interrupted your speech." , you can continue now."

  The commanders present were whispering to each other, discussing in low voices that Sokov was almost hijacked by German agents. And Starcha was even more scalp-chilled, and he thought to himself, if Sokov was really hijacked in his headquarters, he might not be able to clean himself up by jumping into the Dnieper River. When he heard Sidolin listening to Sokov's speech, his heart beat faster, and he was afraid that Sokov would attack him in public, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

   Fortunately, Sokov didn't pay attention to these details. Instead, he let Kurishenko continue to speak. Starr just put his heart in his throat before putting it back in his stomach. But what Kurishenko said next, he didn't listen at all.

After the meeting, Starcha and others were almost gone, and then they bravely came to Sokov and said tremblingly: "Comrade Commander, I would like to express my apologies to you for what happened today... "

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Sokov raised his hand and interrupted him, "Colonel Starcha, I can't blame you for this incident. The enemy is too cunning. They actually took advantage of our army just entering the city, When the situation was still relatively chaotic, sneak into your headquarters to deceive me. Fortunately, Lieutenant Koshkin, I was able to escape."

   While talking, a major walked in from the outside. He didn't look carefully at the door, and asked, "Is Comrade Commander here?"

Maybe it was because he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes. Before Sukov could speak, Starcha went up to him and asked loudly, "Comrade Major, what department are you in? Look for Comrade Commander." What's matter?"

The major glanced at Starcha's epaulets, thinking he was Colonel Sidolin, the chief of staff of the division, and said with a smile: "Are you Chief of Staff Sidolin? I am the staff officer of the Army Group Command, Comrade Chief of Staff Send me to fetch him."

   "Really?" Stalchapi asked with a smile, "Is it true that the chief of staff, General Smirnov, sent you here?"

   "That's right, it was Comrade Chief of Staff who sent me to invite the commander."

  After hearing what the other party had said, Starcha decided in his heart that the other party was impersonating the German again. He put his hands directly on his waist and was about to draw his gun. But his hand was held down, and when he turned his head, he found that the person who grabbed his hand was Sokov, and he couldn't help saying in amazement: "Comrade commander, are you...?"

   "Colonel Starcha, don't get me wrong, he is indeed the staff officer of the headquarters." Sokov smiled and said to Starcha: "You are a little too nervous."

  Although Sokov had already revealed the identity of the other party, Starcha still asked worriedly: "Comrade Commander, is he really the staff officer of the Army Group Headquarters?"

"Yes, he is the staff officer of the Army Group Command." Sokov explained to Starcha: "He came with me from the Frunze Military Academy. If Lieutenant Colonel Milesiev and Ogg With Major Nev present, they will surely recognize their classmate."

   After confirming the identity of the visitor, Starcha explained to the other party with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Comrade Major, I misunderstood you just now, please forgive me."

The staff officer couldn't figure out the status at all, but it was hard to ask, so he could only vaguely agree, and then said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, the Army Group Headquarters is now in the church in the center. Comrade Chief of Staff asked me to invite You go."

   After Sokov followed the staff to the central church, he saw a busy scene here. The communications soldiers were busy setting up antennas and laying telephone lines, and the staff was busy putting up maps.

   "Comrade Commander," seeing Sokov coming in, Smirnov greeted him, glanced behind him, and asked curiously, "Why didn't you see Lieutenant Koshkin?"

   "He has something to stay at the headquarters of the 41st Guards Division." Sokov said casually, "It happened that you sent a staff officer to look for me, and I came here."

"It's really outrageous," Smirnov was a little angry when he learned that Koshkin had stayed at the headquarters of the 41st Guards Division: "Lieutenant Koshkin's task is to protect your safety. Since you all returned The headquarters is gone, why didn't he come back with you? It's really shameful, it seems that I have to give him a good lesson."

  Smirnov said, calling the staff officer just now, and told him: "Comrade Major, please run to the headquarters of the 41st Guards Division again and find Lieutenant Koshkin."

   Just when the staff officer promised to leave, Sokov stopped him: "Major, there is no need to go."

Seeing that Smirnov and the staff were bewildered, he explained: "Comrade Chief of Staff, the situation is like this. Not long ago, a German spy pretended to be a staff member of the division headquarters and pretended to invite me to a meeting at the division headquarters. In fact, he wanted to hold me hostage. As a result, Lieutenant Koshkin found out his identity and arrested him. Now Lieutenant Koshkin, under my order, stayed in the municipal building and conducted a thorough investigation on the two captured enemy personnel. What about the interrogation?"

   Knowing that Sokov was almost hijacked by enemy agents, Smirnov was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, are you not injured?"

"No, no." Sokov shook his head and said, "Fortunately, Lieutenant Koshkin was clever and saw the opponent's flaws from some details..." He told Smirnov what happened in detail Afterwards, he found that there was no sign of Stemenko in the headquarters, so he asked curiously, "By the way, where is Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff?"

"Before we set off, General Shtmenko received a call from the General Staff, saying that there was an urgent matter and he needed to return immediately." Smirnov said: "In this way, General Shtmenko took the superior The plane that was sent to pick him up went back to Moscow."

  Knowing that Shtemenko had left, Sokov couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and said with relief: "It's good to go, this way, we don't have to worry about his safety."
