  Chapter 2213

After putting down the phone, Sokov said to Lunev and Sidolin with a solemn expression: "Military Commissar, Chief of Staff, something has happened. Yakov just told me on the phone that he had a meeting with Chernyakhov today. General Ski was accidentally bombarded by the Germans while passing through the city of Merizac on his way to inspect the 3rd Army."

"What?" Sokov's words made Lunev and Sidolin break out in a cold sweat. If someone else had been shelled, they would have just expressed emotion at most, but Yakov actually exists among the people being shelled now. How serious the consequences this will bring, everyone still has a point. Lunev asked nervously, "Is Yakov okay?"

"He said he was only injured by a shock, and the problem was not serious. General Cherniakhovsky's hands and feet were hit by shrapnel, and they are currently undergoing emergency repairs in the 3rd Army Field Hospital." Sokov said to the two: "The only person who died was General Cherniakhovsky's adjutant."

"Misha." Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lunev quickly reminded Sokov, "Don't underestimate being injured by shells. Internal injuries, when they flare up after a period of time, you can't save them even if you try to save them."

Sokov agreed with Lunev's statement very much. He pointed at Sidolin with his hand and told the other party: "Comrade Chief of Staff, call our field hospital immediately and ask Assia to come to our hospital immediately." Come here."

  Hearing Sokov's arrangement, Lunev immediately understood what he meant: "Misha, are you going to ask Asia to check on Yakov?"

"That's right, that's what I'm thinking about." Sokov said, "If I send other military doctors to the 3rd Army Field Hospital to examine Yasha, I'm afraid it will arouse the disgust of the other hospital. You can send Assia, The situation is different. Yasha is my friend and Asya is my wife. My best friend is injured and sent my wife as a military doctor to visit and give him a full check-up along the way. Trust no one will say anything."

"Misha, you are very thoughtful." Lunev gave Sokov a thumbs up: "It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for Assia to visit Yakov in the 3rd Army on your behalf." He read Glancing at Sidolin who was calling the hospital, "I'll call Koshkin and ask him to personally **** Assia to the 3rd Army."

Koshkin used to be Lunev's subordinate. Since Lunev's king returned, he naturally took over the security forces of the original Ministry of Internal Affairs. Koshkin and a guard company from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were directly dispatched by Lunev. .

  The field hospital where Asiya is located is a bit far away from here. Even if Asiya does it immediately when she receives the call, it will take some time on the way. The situation of Koshkin is different. His office is only a few minutes away from the headquarters. So shortly after Lunev put down the phone, Koshkin appeared at the headquarters.

   Koshkin came to Sokov and Lunev and stood at attention. After raising his hands in salute, he asked respectfully, "Commander, military commissar, what instructions do you have?"

"Koshkin," Lunev said to Koshkin, "the commander and I have an important task for you. You go back to the guard immediately, select a group of capable fighters, and prepare for departure." Get ready. As soon as Asiya arrives, you will be responsible for sending her to the field hospital of the Third Army."

   "What, go to the field hospital of the 3rd Army?" Koshkin asked in surprise: "Could it be that Assia is going to be transferred to the 3rd Army field hospital to work?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could you go to work there?" Lunev knew that Koshkin was familiar with Asya and Yakov, and that Asiya needed his protection this time when she went to the 3rd Army Field Hospital. So he didn't hide anything from him, but said truthfully: "We just got the news that Yakov was on the way out today and found the German shelling, and he seems to be wounded. We plan to let Asiya be Misha's representative. , go to visit, and do a physical examination for him by the way, to see if he has any internal injuries."

"While going out, General Yakov was shelled by the enemy and was wounded?" Hearing the news, Koshkin asked with a face full of shock: "What is going on, how could he be injured? "

"Captain Koshkin." Sokov interrupted the other party with a straight face, "Please pay attention to your identity, and don't inquire about things you shouldn't know. Your mission is to **** Asia to the third place safely. The Army Field Hospital. After she finishes examining Yasha, she will be escorted back safely. Do you understand?"

Koshkin thought to himself, although you won't tell me the truth of the matter, as long as I get there, I will soon find out what happened, so when he heard Sokov asking himself, he answered loudly: He said, "Understood, Comrade Commander."

   After finishing his answer, he turned and left the headquarters, and went back to arrange the **** mission.

When Asiya received a call from Sidolin, the other party did not explain anything, but told her: "Asiya, you should come to the headquarters immediately, Comrade Commander has something important to tell you. "

  After receiving this call, Assia became uneasy. Although she knew that Sokov seldom went to the front line now, but no one could guarantee that Sokov would not rush to the forefront to inspect on a whim when the battle was in full swing. Today, Sidolin called himself. Could it be that Sukov was unfortunately injured when he went to the front line for inspection? Thinking of this, Assia's hands and feet became weak, and she couldn't even walk. Fortunately, there were two nurses nearby who helped her into the jeep parked outside.

  By the time the car arrived outside the headquarters, Assia had returned to normal. She thought that Sidolin just let her go to the headquarters, saying that Sokov wanted to see her, but did not say what happened to Sokov, which meant that even if she was injured, it might not be fatal in a short time.

  When she walked into the headquarters, the sentinel at the door raised her hand to salute her, with the same expression as usual. It seems that there should be no problems in the headquarters, otherwise the outside would not be so calm. With such doubts, she stepped into the headquarters, and at a glance she saw Sokov standing at the table talking to Lunev and Sidolin.

   "Assia, you are here!" Sokov saw Assia who had just walked in with sharp eyes, and stepped forward to give her a warm hug, and asked with concern, "Have you eaten yet?"

   After Assia pushed Sokov away, she lifted his clothes with her hands to check if there was any bandage on his body.

"Assia, what are you doing?" But the next moment, Sokov realized that Assia might have misunderstood: "Assia, you misunderstood, I was not injured, the chief of staff did not make it clear when he called , which made you worry."

  Asiya saw that Sokov's face was glowing red, and he was full of confidence when he spoke, but he had just checked briefly, and there were indeed no wounds on his body. It seemed that he was not injured, but a false alarm. She looked at Sokov and said displeasedly: "Misha, do you know how busy I am in the hospital, there are so many wounded to take care of every day, there are so many operations to be performed, I wish I could only sleep once or twice a day Hours. But in such a busy situation, you asked the chief of staff to call me and told me to come over immediately, saying that I had something to tell me, and I was so scared that I thought you were injured..." Speaking of this, Asia He clenched his fist and punched Sokov **** the shoulder a few times.

   "Assia, stop messing around." Sokov grabbed Assia's fist and said to her with a serious expression, "I called you here because I have something important to leave to you."

   "What's the matter?" Asiya was still angry, and asked angrily.

   "Yasha is injured." Sokov said, "I plan to ask you to visit him on my behalf."

"What, Yasha was injured?" Knowing that Yakov was injured, Assia, who was a bit petty at first, was shocked, and she asked nervously, "How did Yasha get injured? Will it be life-threatening?"

   Facing Assia's series of questions, Sokov smiled bitterly and said, "Assia, you ask so many questions at once, how can I answer you?"

   "Then answer one by one."

"Okay." Sokov nodded, and began to answer Asiya's questions one by one: "Yasha accompanied General Cherniakhovsky, the commander of the Third Front Army, on his way to the Third Army City for inspection. The city of Merizak was suddenly bombarded by the Germans. Cherniakhovsky was wounded, Yakov was wounded, and the general's adjutant was killed.

   As for Yakov's injury, he told me that it was just a concussion injury and nothing serious. I am worried that he may have internal injuries, so I plan to ask you to go to the 3rd Army Field Hospital on my behalf in the name of a visit, and give him a comprehensive examination to see if he has any internal injuries. You are a military doctor, whether Yasha's injury is life-threatening, you will know after the examination. "

After figuring out what was going on, Asiya nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Misha, I'm going to the 3rd Army Field Hospital to give Yasha a comprehensive examination. But the journey is so far, Can you arrange for two people to give me a ride?"

Hearing what Assia said, Lunev said with a smile, "Assia, if you only send two escorts, how can Misha rest assured? He has arranged for Koshkin to **** you to the 3rd Army Field Hospital with a company. .”

   "What, let Koshkin take a company and **** me to the field hospital of the 3rd Army?" Assia said in surprise: "Is this too exaggerated?"

"In extraordinary times, it's better to be cautious." Sokov said to Asiya: "The current garrison of the Third Army is not far from the city of Merizac controlled by the German army. I am worried that you will encounter the enemy on the road. If you There are only two or three people, I am afraid that you cannot guarantee your safety. And Koshkin brings a company, even if they encounter a small group of German troops, they can wipe them out in a short time."

   Soon, Assia was escorted by Koshkin and drove to the field hospital of the 3rd Army.

   Lunev stood at the window, looking at the departing convoy, and said to Sokov: "Misha, do you think Yakov will have something to do?"

   "I don't know." Sokov shook his head, and continued: "But I hope he is safe, and nothing happens, otherwise there will be serious consequences."

   Lunev agrees with Sokov's statement. Once Yakov has something wrong, I am afraid that the Supreme Commander himself will be furious. As for what he will do, it is difficult to speculate. So at this moment, not only Sokov and Lunev are praying for Yakov to be safe, but also countless people have the same idea as them.

  When Gorbatov, the commander of the 3rd Army, received a call from Rokossovsky, he was a little surprised. Now that he is no longer under the command of the Second Front Army, why did the Marshal call himself. He tentatively asked: "Comrade Marshal, what instructions do you have?"

   "Gorbatov, I heard that General Chernyakhovsky was shelled by the German army on his way to inspect your place." Rokossovsky asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, Comrade Marshal." Gorbatov knew such a big thing, and as the commander of the Front Army, Rokossovsky would know sooner or later, so he didn't hide it, but replied truthfully: "The commander of the Front Army The soldier was hit by shrapnel in the arms and legs and is now being treated in my field hospital and should not be life-threatening."

   "Are there any casualties besides General Cherniakhovsky?"

"Yes, the general's adjutant was killed in the shelling." Gorbatov said: "There is also a new deputy chief of staff of the front army who was also injured in the shelling. But his injuries are not serious, he was just stunned. Now rest in the room next to my headquarters."

   "What's the name of your deputy chief of staff, do you know?"

  Because Yakov has just taken office, not many people know him. And Gorbatov's troops have just returned from the Second Front, so it's not surprising that they don't know him as the deputy chief of staff. Therefore, after hearing Rokossovsky's question, Gorbatov did not arouse corresponding vigilance, but said with such an expression: "I heard others call him Yakov."

  After hearing that the injured deputy chief of staff was indeed Yakov, Rokossovsky's expression became serious. He raised his voice and said sternly: "Gorbatov, since you know that the deputy chief of staff was also injured in the shelling, why didn't you send him to the hospital for treatment, but arranged to rest in your headquarters? If What happened to him, can you bear the responsibility?"

Although Rokossovsky is the marshal, he is not Gorbatov's immediate boss now, so Gorbatov was also very unhappy when he heard the other party reprimand him in such a harsh tone: " Comrade Marshal, the deputy chief of staff is being taken care of by a hygienist, he looks fine, he doesn't seem to be in trouble at all, and he doesn't need to be sent to the hospital at all."

As soon as Gorbatov finished speaking, Rokossovsky slapped the table heavily and said sharply: "General Gorbatov, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the deputy staff officer you don't care about The chief is the eldest son of the Supreme Commander himself, if he does something good or bad, and what kind of consequences it will bring, I won’t tell you, you should guess it.”

   Even if a thunderbolt exploded beside Gorbatov at this moment, it would definitely not be as shocking as Rokossovsky's words. After a long silence, he asked cautiously, "Comrade Marshal, what you said is true? Are you kidding me?"

"Gorbatov, do you think I will joke with you on such an important matter?" Rokossovsky said unceremoniously: "I have already said what should be said, and the next thing to do is It's up to you how to deal with it." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to speak again.

   Gorbatov held onto the phone that was coming from a blind tone, and paused for a long time. After he regained his senses, he immediately called his military commissar: "Comrade military commissar, hurry up, follow me to the next door, we need to send the injured deputy chief of staff to the hospital as soon as possible, and give him a thorough examination. "
