Red Moscow

After hearing Sokov's report, Ma Linin was stunned.

After a long time, he asked cautiously: "Colonel Sokov, is everything you said true?"

"Totally true." Sokov nodded and replied, "This information was reported to me by the officer escorting Colonel Ivanov." , and asked anxiously, "Comrade Chief of Staff, when will the transport vehicle provided by the superior be ready for us?"

"I'm still discussing this matter with the logistics department to see if I can dispatch enough vehicles to transport you."

"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov saw that Malinin was still studying and discussing at this time, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Even if we take a car, it will take at least ten or twenty hours for our troops to arrive at Luhansk. Arrangement The defense will take a few more days, and if we don’t hurry up, I’m afraid that when the German counterattack begins, we will still not be ready for combat.”

What Sokov said was not aimless. After all, how long it would take to build fortifications on the outskirts of the city is anyone's guess. If you don't hurry up and continue to procrastinate, maybe when the enemy rushes to Lugansk, the army's fortifications have not yet been completed.

"Wait for me for another two hours." Ma Lining said with some embarrassment: "I will hurry up and contact other logistics departments to try to collect the vehicles you need as soon as possible."

During the period of waiting for Malinin's reply, Sokov was not idle, and after explaining to Sidolin the precautions for the troops' deployment, he went to the health team to see Asiya.

Assia already knew the news of Ivanov's sacrifice, and when she saw Sokov appearing, she comforted him and said, "Misha, don't be sad, as long as the war is not over, people will die at any time."

"Assia, listen." Sokov waited for Assia to finish speaking, and then said to her, "Because the divisional field hospital is going to be set up, so this time the troops will be deployed, so you will not go with them for the time being."

"But, if we don't go, what if someone is injured?" Assia asked unwillingly, "You can't run hundreds of kilometers to send the wounded back for treatment, right?"

"It's okay, as long as there is no fighting, no one in the army will be injured." Sokov continued: "Even if someone is sick or suffers a little injury, he can find a doctor in the city to solve it."

"Misha, haven't you considered that after Luhansk was destroyed by the Germans, can there still be a doctor there?"

Assia's words stopped Sokov. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. In a city that was once occupied by the German army and destroyed when it was evacuated, the hospital must be unusable. It is really a question of how many of the original medical staff in the city survived.

Thinking of this, he changed his mind and said to Assia: "Assia, you are right to remind, maybe Luhansk city really can't find enough medical staff, and the main force of the division is really inseparable." Get the paramedics."

He called Pavlov and said to him: "Comrade Dean, according to the original plan of the division, you were going to stay here to form a field hospital. But now the situation has changed, we need some medical staff, As the troops go to Luhansk, tell me, what should we do?"

As the future director of the division's field hospital, Pavlov thought that after the Paulus Group was eliminated, there would be no more battles in the troops in a short time. After hearing Sokov's question, he glanced at Asiya and said smartly, "Comrade Commander, I think we should form a medical team to follow the main force."

"Medical squad?!" Sokov asked back, "How many people do you think this squad should have?"

"Ten people are enough." Pavlov replied loudly: "A medical team consisting of an assistant military doctor, an experienced health worker, and eight newly assigned health workers will follow the main force. action."

"Comrade dean," Assia waited for Pavlov to finish speaking, looked at him and begged, "I am an assistant military doctor, please let me join this medical team."

"Comrade Commander," Pavlov did not immediately make a decision, but looked at Sokov and asked, "Do you agree to allow Assia to join this medical team?"

Hearing Pavlov's question, Sokov seemed a little embarrassed. As an assistant military doctor, Asiya is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for command if she joins the squad. But this time he went to Luhansk, there was a high probability that he would go to war with the German army, and he didn't want to put Asya in danger.

"Misha, Misha." Seeing that Sokov was silent, Assia quickly grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously twice, and said earnestly: "Quickly express your opinion, do you agree to let me participate in this small group?" Squad?"

From Asiya's expression, Sokov could see that she really wanted to join the team. If I forcibly refuse, it will definitely make her sad and disappointed. After repeated thinking, he decided to let Asiya join the team. As an assistant military doctor, she only needs to stay behind to perform operations on the soldiers. She doesn't have to be like a health worker and risk the enemy's artillery fire. , Go to the place where the battle is the fiercest, and carry the wounded soldiers back.

After weighing, Sokov nodded and said: "Okay, Asiya, since you are willing to go to Lugansk, then I will agree to your request and let you join this team. The remaining candidates of the team , it's up to you to choose."

Asiya had already had a plan for forming a small team, and she couldn't help being overjoyed when she saw that Sokov agreed to her joining the small team and had her choose candidates.

When she ran to select personnel, Pavlov said to Sokov: "Mr. Comrade, there should be no danger in going to Lugansk this time. It is right for Assia to exercise. If there is a chance in the future, she can be promoted She holds the position of associate dean."

Seeing that Pavlov's starting point was for himself and Portia, Sokov really couldn't say what he said. After a few perfunctory sentences, he ordered him to say: "Comrade Dean, although the chance of a battle is not high, the necessary medicines are indispensable. Look, can you immediately arrange manpower to prepare enough medicines for the squad?" and equipment."

"Comrade commander, you are right. The team still needs a lot of medicine and equipment, so I will order someone to prepare them."

Sokov stayed in the room, muttering to himself: "Luhansk is not a peaceful place. When Asya chooses people, don't single out Ada. Otherwise, in the event of a battle, Ada will have to brave the hail of bullets." , go to the area where the fighting happened to rescue the wounded. If something happened to her, I really don’t know how to explain to Rokossovsky.”

Sometimes the more you worry about something, but what happens. Sokov was worried that Asiya would choose Ada, but seeing that Ada was really among the selected people, he stomped his feet anxiously.

Assia didn't see Sokov's embarrassment, but explained to him: "Misha, General Rokossovsky asked me to take good care of Ada. I think I have to let Ada stay by my side, so that I can't get out of trouble." Live up to the general's expectations of me."
