Chapter 2154: new problems

  New problems faced by Chapter 2154

  The chief of the general affairs section arranged such an assistant for Asiya, and it was also well-intentioned. When the dean called him, he hinted to him that the new female military doctor seemed to have some kind of special relationship with the chief of staff of the army group, and asked him to take care of her.

When the Chief of the General Affairs Section saw Tam showing courteousness around Asiya, he realized that the dean's task was not easy to complete. He wanted to ensure that Asiya would not be disturbed by certain people, so he specially arranged such a meeting around her. A hunky female assistant.

  Of course, apart from the chief of the general affairs section, even the person involved, Asia, didn't know about it, let alone Tam.

  However, the facts soon proved that the approach of the chief of general affairs was very effective. Tam, who originally wanted to get in touch with Asiya, saw Alisa dangling in front of him, and realized that he had no chance. After chatting for a while, I found an excuse and left.

   Let’s talk about the headquarters. Sokov and Yakov finished talking, and when they came out of the house, they unexpectedly found that Asiya was missing. He curiously asked Bonejelin at the table: "Comrade Deputy Commander, did you see where Asya went?"

   "When you were talking with General Yakov inside," Ponegerin replied, "Asya asked Sidolin to take her to the field hospital."

   Knowing that Asiya had left, Sokov couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "She just left without even calling me."

  Pornegelin laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Comrade Commander, we are not far from the field hospital anyway. If you miss her, you can visit her at any time."

  When Sidolin came back from the outside, his expression was extremely serious, as if something made him very angry. His expression made Sokov's heart skip a beat, and he secretly wondered if something happened to Asiya.

  Thinking of this, Sokov stepped forward and grabbed Sidolin's arm, and asked nervously, "Comrade Chief of Staff, did something happen to Asiya?"

The preoccupied Sidolin first felt that someone grabbed his arm, and then someone asked him if something happened to Assia. He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw clearly that the person who grabbed him and questioned him was Soko The expression on his face became relaxed. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, Comrade Commander, Asia has settled down, and nothing happened, so you can rest assured."

  Knowing that Asiya was fine, Sokov was naturally relieved. However, what he cared about next was what was on Sidolin's mind: "I saw that you looked very preoccupied when you entered the door, and thought that something happened to Asiya. It turned out that I made a mistake."

Sidolin did have something on his mind. He was considering how to bring this matter up to Sokov. Since Sokov asked first, he said logically: "Comrade Commander, I have an important matter that I need to ask you." report."

   "Important thing?" Sokov asked back: "Tell me, what important thing?"

"I just sent Assia to the field hospital, and I walked around the ward by the way." Xidolin said: "I overheard a few wounded soldiers chatting, and their chats made me realize that our army is now It's a huge problem."

"Comrade Chief of Staff, don't keep going around in circles." Seeing that Sidolin couldn't get to the point for a long time, Ponegerin couldn't help being a little anxious, and urged the other party: "Tell me quickly, what happened? "

"The wounded soldiers were saying that some time ago, a patrol team of our army encountered a German reconnaissance team while patrolling. After a fierce battle, they finally wiped out the enemy in a village. Sidolin said: "But the problem also came. This patrol team not only confiscated everything on the body of the German scout, but even ransacked the houses of the villagers where the other party lived, taking away all valuables. The villagers came out When they stopped them, they were severely beaten."

  Sokov couldn't help frowning when he heard this. The patrol team killed the German scouts and took away everything on them. This is understandable. But it is a violation of military discipline to take away the things in the houses where the German scouts lived.

  Pornegelin saw the anger on Sokov's face, and quickly said: "Comrade Commander, the comrades in the patrol team did not do well. How do you think we should deal with them?"

"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov felt that this kind of unhealthy tendencies cannot rise, otherwise his subordinates would not burn, kill and loot everything after entering German territory in the future, so he told Sidolin: "Go and investigate this matter." , See which patrol team did this kind of thing, both commanders and soldiers must be dealt with strictly, what they have done is seriously inconsistent with the identity of our army."

  The reason why Sokov spoke so harshly was because he thought of what the Soviet army did after they entered Berlin. Don't look at the same thing, the British and American soldiers have done a lot, but if it is hyped up by some media and certain things are magnified infinitely, it will become the black history of the Soviet army. Although he has no ability to change the overall situation, he must at least ensure that no one who violates military discipline appears in his army.

   "Okay, Comrade Commander." Sidolin nodded, and replied, "I will immediately arrange manpower to investigate this matter."

   After a short pause, he tentatively asked Sokov: "Comrade Commander, if we really find out which patrol team did it, will we really deal with them seriously?"

"That's right, Comrade Chief of Staff." Sokov said affirmatively, "What they did was a violation of military discipline. They took away the villagers' property, which was a kind of robbery, which was done by robbers. Other troops I can't control it, but at least in my army, I don't allow such people to exist. Understand?"

   "Understood, Comrade Commander." After figuring out Sokov's intentions, Sidolin nodded vigorously, and said, "I will investigate this matter in the shortest possible time and deal with those involved seriously."

  When Sidolin called to assign tasks, Ponedelin walked up to Sokov and asked in a low voice, "Comrade Commander, do you think it is necessary to report this matter to the Front Army Command?"

"It's not necessary." In any case, this matter is an internal matter of the 48th Army, and Sokov didn't want his family's scandal to be publicized, so he rejected Ponegerin's proposal: "We are fully capable of handling this matter. "

Sokov suddenly remembered a part of Rokossovsky's memoirs. When the troops of the Second Belarusian Front joined forces with the Allied forces, the Soviet troops who had rectified their military discipline in advance did not commit any crimes in the occupied area. In the Allied defense zone 100 meters away, the valuables of the residents' homes were looted. These looted things were sent back to their respective countries through their military mail system.

  Sokov couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if Rokossovsky could always serve as the commander of the First Front Army, would the situation of military discipline be much better when the Soviet army occupied Berlin? Although certain things are unavoidable for the Soviet army as the victor, at least they will not be embellished and magnified infinitely by some media. As long as there are fewer places where the Soviet army can be discredited, then the things the Allied forces did in Germany will be known to more future generations.

About half an hour later, Sidolin reported the results of the investigation to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I understand that it is a patrol team of 20 people directly under the headquarters. When they were patrolling the day before yesterday, they met a three-person The German team encountered a battle and a battle took place. Two scouts were killed, and the remaining one was wounded. He fled to a nearby village, hid in the room where they used to live, and fought tenaciously. Finally, we Soldiers killed."

   "How are our casualties?"

   "Three people died and five people were injured."

   "What did they rob in the private house?" Sokov asked angrily.

   "A fox fur coat, two shirts, and a pair of boots." Sidolin replied: "When I left, I saw Polish dumplings and potato pancakes in the kitchen pot, so I took them away together."

"Comrade Commander," Ponejielin said next to Sidolin after listening to Sidolin's report, "It seems that they didn't rob the villagers of much! Except for the fox fur coat, which is barely worth a little money, the rest of the things are really ordinary. gone."

  For laymen, when they hear fox fur coats, they think it is a great and expensive clothing. In fact, as a member of fur, fox fur coats are the lowest grade, probably only better than dog fur coats or rabbit fur coats.

Sokov said to Sidolin: "Comrade Chief of Staff, call the captain of the patrol and let him take us to the village where the accident happened. You know, on Polish territory, people who are not friendly to our army are still There are not a few, if this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Soon, the captain of the patrol team appeared in the headquarters. Sokov glanced at his epaulets and said coldly: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, what did you do in the village in Poland a few days ago? remember?"

  Hearing Sokov's question, the captain's face turned red, and he said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, I was wrong, and I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Sokov ignored him, but told Koshkin who was standing next to him: "Captain Koshkin, take two guard platoons with me, and go to that village to have a look. Also, take him along with you." Come on." Afraid that Koshkin would not know, he pointed at the patrol captain with his hand.

  Seeing that Sokov was about to take the patrol captain to the village, Ponejielin couldn't sit still: "Comrade Commander, let me go with you, I also want to see what's going on."

   On the way to the village by car, Ponejielin, who was sitting next to Sokov, asked tentatively, "Comrade Commander, I wonder what you plan to do with that patrol captain?"

   "I don't know." Sokov said impatiently: "I have to go to the village to find out the situation and see what the consequences are, and then I can know how to deal with him."

   "Comrade Commander, I actually don't think this is a big deal." Ponegerin said, "It's just a few clothes and some food, and the damage to the villagers is not too big. A few criticisms are enough."

   Sokov did not comment on the proposal proposed by Pornegerin. He knew very well in his heart that it was probably not only Pornegelin, but even Sidolin, who felt that it was a bit of a fuss for him to bring the patrol captain to the village. However, there are some things that must be done, or they must be done, otherwise their own troops may become as rampant as the troops that entered Berlin in the future.

  The village is not far from the headquarters, about five or six kilometers away, and the convoy quickly entered the village.

  The Polish villagers in the village were a little flustered when they saw so many Soviet troops suddenly coming.

   After Sokov got out of the car, he waited for Koshkin to overwhelm the patrol captain in front of him, and then asked the man, "Second Lieutenant, where does the family you robbed live?"

  The patrol captain didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked ahead as a guide, leading Sokov and others to the location of the family.

  Sokov stood outside the house and saw that it was a house made of logs, surrounded by wooden fences as tall as a person. Following the wooden fence, you can see that the glass of one of the windows has been smashed, which should be caused by the fighting two days ago.

  Although everyone can tell that this is a house that has experienced battles, Sokov still specifically asked: "Is that so, Second Lieutenant?"

   "Yes, Comrade Commander." The patrol captain quickly replied: "At that time, my men and I were fighting the enemy hiding in the house outside the wooden fence."

  Sokov walked into the yard and saw a small pit blackened by gunpowder smoke, which should have been caused by a grenade explosion. At this time, an old lady wearing a headscarf came out of the house. Seeing so many people in the yard, she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. She asked tremblingly, "May I ask what you want?"

"Old lady," Sokov stepped forward to support the old lady, and said to her with a smile: "Two days ago, we had soldiers fighting the Germans here, which caused you some losses. I came here specially today, How can I make up for your loss."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old lady broke free from Sukov's hand, took two steps back, waved her hands desperately, and said in a panic: "No, no, we know how to repair damaged houses, and we don't need your help." " After finishing speaking, he turned and went back to the room, and closed the door with a bang.

"Comrade Commander, there is an old couple living here." At this time, the patrol captain said to Sokov: "I heard from people in the village that when the Germans were still here, this family had a very close relationship with the Germans. Their son worked as an interpreter in the German army. And the German scouts we wiped out were secretly hidden at home by the male master."

The patrol captain's words made Sokov feel embarrassed. He didn't expect that there was something hidden about this matter. If the family really colluded with the Germans in private, then there seems to be nothing wrong with the patrol captain's actions. After all, the other party is My own enemy, just taking some worthless things and not killing the old man, is already considered pretty good.

  But since everyone has come, there are still some things that should be done. Sokov told Koshkin: "Comrade Captain, put all the things we brought in the yard. As for whether the old couple take them back, it's up to them."

   Koshkin agreed and ordered someone to bring in the clothes that the patrol team had snatched and put them on the ground. As for the Polish dumplings and potato pancakes that were eaten, they must not have been returned to Zhao, so I deliberately left a bag of flour, a bag of potatoes and ten catties of mutton.

   After seeing his subordinates finish all this, Sokov waved at them and said, "Go, let's go back!"
