Red Moscow

Although Ponegerin said that his illness was nothing to worry about, Sokov didn't think so. He had finally found a capable commander. If he died early due to illness, he would have suffered a great loss. He secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to control Pornejeline's condition so that he can live for a longer time.

But what kind of doctor should be found for Ponegerin, and now for treatment, Sokov has no idea at all. He raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already 9:30 in the morning, and he said to Ponejielin and others: "I've been in the car all night, and I'm a little tired now. Go inside and sleep first. General Smirnov Don't bother me until the leading command arrives."

"Okay, Comrade Commander." Ponegelin said, "I will wake you up when Comrade Chief of Staff arrives with the headquarters."

Sokov didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel tired in bed. His eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling, thinking about how to treat Pornejeline's heart attack.

He first thought of his wife Asiya, who was a military doctor, and maybe he could ask her opinion. But sitting up and looking around, he found that there was no phone in the room at all, and it was impossible to contact Asiya. He sighed, lay down again, and continued to think about ways.

He soon realized that although Assia is a military doctor, she is only a military doctor in the weapons and equipment department. Not to mention that she doesn't have that skill, even if she has this plan, she might not be able to treat Bonejelin's illness, so she can only think about it other people.

After thinking about the friends I knew, I thought that maybe I could contact Lunev. He is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he must have a lot of connections. If he comes forward, he will definitely be able to find a suitable doctor to help Bonegelin treat the disease. sick.

After letting go of the burden in his heart, fatigue flooded in like a tide, and Sokov soon fell asleep unconsciously.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes, he found that the sky outside the window had already turned dark, which was a sign that it was getting dark. He raised his hand to check the time, and found that it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and he had slept all day without knowing it.

He got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.

He came to Ponegerin, yawned, and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Pornegerin, has the command led by the chief of staff arrived?"

Pornegerin raised his hand to check the time, and replied, "It's here, it will be around five o'clock in the afternoon."

Knowing that Smirnov had arrived with the headquarters, Sokov asked with some displeasure: "Lieutenant Colonel Ponejielin, before I go to bed, I didn't tell you that if the chief of staff arrives in Otatz with the headquarters, Wake me up immediately? Why didn't you call me?"

"I'm sorry, Comrade Commander." Seeing that Sokov was upset, Ponejielin quickly explained: "Comrade Chief of Staff came to my place after entering the city. I wanted to wake you up, but the Chief of Staff Said that you have been working too hard recently, how can you sleep well like now, just tell me not to disturb you. "

Sidolin next to him also echoed: "That's right, Comrade Commander. It was ordered by Chief of Staff Smirnov himself, and it is not good for us to disobey his orders."

Naturally, Sokov would not embarrass Poniegelin and Sidolin for such an inconspicuous matter. He waved his hand and said, "If you don't call, you don't call. It's nothing special. By the way, where is the army headquarters now?"

"Here!" Sidolin pointed to a location on the city defense map and said to Sokov: "This was originally a youth activity center with a large area and strong buildings. The chief of staff decided to set up the headquarters. over there."

"So it's here." Sokov had been there during the day, but he didn't know the name of the building. Now that he knew the new location of the headquarters, he was ready to rush there immediately. But before he left, he remembered the key question, so he stopped and asked Ponegerin: "Lieutenant Colonel Pornegerin, I want to ask if the weapons from the 122nd Guards Regiment have been received?"

"I have received it, Comrade Commander." Ponegelin replied: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Romanian side used more than 30 trucks to transport the weapons and equipment in the arsenal to the 122nd Regiment's defense area. The commanders and fighters of the regiment have all been armed."

"That's good, that's good." Sokov told Ponejielin: "You tell Colonel Papchenko that the weapons used by the Romanians are different from the weapons we equip, and tell the commanders and fighters to hurry up. time to master."

"Understood, I'll call Colonel Papchenko right now."

Sokov left the church and walked towards the headquarters under the escort of Koshkin and others.

On the way, Sokov suddenly saw Herus in the crowd, and called him to his side, and asked with concern: "Second Lieutenant Herus, are you still used to being in the army?"

"I'm used to it, of course I'm used to it." Helus said with a smile: "The comrades in the company are very good to me, and they take extra care of me in life and work. Comrade Commander, if I hadn't met you, I'm afraid Right now, I’m still hiding at home in fear.”

Sokov was thinking in his heart that it was because of the appearance of Herus that the orders of many people were changed. At least in the direction of their own attack, the commanders and fighters who were dispersed in the battles in the early years, as long as they did not defect to the Germans and did not do anything that endangered the security of the motherland, they could freely choose to return to the army or continue to be his civilians.

"You don't need to thank me, Second Lieutenant Horus." Sokov said unhurriedly, "Actually, I should thank you as well."

"Thank me?!" Sokov's words surprised Herus, and he asked in surprise, "Thank me for what?"

Sokov felt that this was a great secret, so he could properly disclose one thing to Herus: "Second Lieutenant Herus, because the war broke out suddenly and our army was not ready for war, so in the early days of the war During the retreat, many troops were defeated by the powerful enemy, and countless commanders and fighters were scattered behind the enemy. Some of them joined the guerrillas, and some, like you, returned to their hometown and worked hard. Be a normal person.

Now the situation is developing in a direction that is beneficial to our army. We will regain the land occupied by the Germans sooner or later. At this time, how to arrange the dispersed commanders and fighters became a big problem.

When you returned to the army, I reported your situation to your superiors. The above said that as long as you commanders and fighters living behind enemy lines, you have not defected to the Germans, and you have not done anything detrimental to the motherland, you can choose whether to return to the army. "

Horus has heard a lot of things in the guard company these days, and he knows very well that if he had not met Sokov but had met the commanders of other troops, he might not have been sent to Siberia to dig Tudou was sent to the punishment camp to carry out the most dangerous combat missions.

After thinking about this, he said gratefully: "Comrade commander, in fact, the person I should thank is you. If I hadn't met you, how could I have returned to the army so easily, I'm afraid I would have been sent to Siberia or punished. camp."

The two were talking, and unknowingly came to the new address of the headquarters.

The officer on duty at the door saw Sokov appearing, and quickly stepped forward to salute and reported, "Comrade Commander, the headquarters is in place, welcome back!"

"Is the Chief of Staff here?"

"Yes." The officer on duty replied, "Not only the chief of staff is here, but the military commissioner is also here."

Sokov returned to the headquarters, and after greeting Smirnov and Gorokhov, he asked, "How is the overall situation of our army now?"

"According to your order, the main force of the group army is resting." Smirnov replied: "The one that is still in contact with the enemy is the 41st Guards Division located in this city."

Seeing Sokov nodding slightly, Smirnov asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, the 41st Guards Division just added 8,000 people before it was transferred here. Although the number of troops is large, the weapons and equipment are not enough. Serious deficiency, you can't let the soldiers bite the enemy with their teeth when they go to the battlefield, right?"

This time it was Sokov's turn to be surprised: "Comrade Chief of Staff, haven't you been to the headquarters of the 41st Guards Division?"

"Yes, I have been there." Smirnov replied casually: "When the headquarters was still being established, I went to the headquarters of the 41st Guards Division to find you. After I went, Lieutenant Colonel Ponejielin said You were sleeping, and I was about to wake you up, but I stopped me, and I said that you have been working too hard recently, so I asked you to sleep a little longer."

"Didn't Lieutenant Colonel Pornegelin tell you about that?"

"Which thing?" Smirnov asked puzzled.

"The 41st Guards Division has reached the replenishment of weapons." Sokov murmured in his heart. Didn't Ponegerin report such an important matter to Smirnov when he arrived at the headquarters of the 41st Guards Division? ? "In particular, the 122nd Guards Regiment stationed outside the city received the most weapons."

"Really?" Smirnov showed an unbelievable expression: "When I just went to the headquarters of the 41st Guards Division, why didn't Lieutenant Colonel Ponejielin tell me?"

"Maybe he was negligent." Sokov explained to Smirnov: "I asked General Antoneta for these weapons, which can temporarily solve the shortage of weapons of the 41st Guards Division."

"General Antonetta?" Smirnov asked in puzzlement, "Why would he offer to provide weapons to our army?"

"Of course I convinced him." Sokov recounted the process of how he persuaded Antonetta to Smirnov, and finally said: "At that time, there were only two ways in front of him. His troops are also fighting, and the second is to provide weapons for our troops."

"So, General Antoneta chose the second path without hesitation." Smirnov gave Sokov a thumbs up and praised: "Comrade Commander, you are really amazing." !"

After chatting with Smirnov for a few words, Sokov called the director of the communications corps over and asked, "Can our phone communicate with Moscow?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The Director of Communications Corps asked respectfully, "I don't know which department you plan to connect to?"

"Ministry of Internal Affairs in Lubyanka, Moscow," said Sokov. "Ask Deputy Minister Lunev."

If other people heard about Lubyanka and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they would have been scared out of their wits. But the director of the communications corps knew that Sokov and Lunev had a good relationship, and he felt that the commander must have something important to call the other party at this moment. He didn't dare to neglect, and quickly asked the communications soldier to connect to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Sokov took the microphone and pressed it to his ear, and heard Lunev's stern voice coming from the receiver: "Hi, I'm Lunev, where are you?"

"Comrade Lunev," Sokov said with a smile, "I haven't come home so late."

"It turned out to be Misha." Lunev's tone softened after hearing that the person who called him was Sokov: "You haven't called me for a long time. How are you doing recently?"

"Very good, of course very good." Sokov said jokingly: "It would be even better if you didn't come to investigate me."

As soon as Lunev mentioned this matter, Lunev seemed a little embarrassed: "Misha, you also know that although I am the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I still can't help myself in many things. For example, investigating you, I know that you are I am wronged, but the necessary procedures still have to go. Fortunately, before I set off, I received an order from my superior to cancel your investigation.

You don't know, when I received this order, my whole body became more relaxed. Although you and I are friends and partners, if I really want to censor you, I will definitely do it in a business-like manner, and then you will suffer some grievances..."

Lunev babbled on the phone for a long time, and suddenly realized that Sokov would not make long-distance calls to him for no reason. He must have something important to look for him, so he quickly asked: "What's important for you to find me?" something?"

"Yes, Lunev, I have something to ask you."

"You can say whatever you want. As long as it's within my ability, I'll help you with it."

"Are there any high-level doctors among the people you know?"

"I know many doctors, but I don't know which one you are asking? Internal medicine or surgery?"

Sokov was wondering, which department should heart disease belong to? But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason, so he could only ask Lunev directly: "Lunev, if it's a heart disease, should it belong to internal medicine or surgery?"

"Heart disease, it should belong to the heart disease and belongs to the department of cardiology, also known as the department of circulatory medicine or the department of cardiovascular medicine." After Lunev finished speaking, he tentatively asked, "Misha, why are you asking this? No you Is there something wrong with your heart?"

"Of course not. I'm still so young. How could I have a heart attack? I'm asking for someone else."

Lunev used to be Sokov's partner. He knew that if Sokov didn't have a heart attack, it must be one of his subordinates, so he hurriedly asked: "Misha, please tell the truth, which commander under you is it?" The member has a heart attack, so I can arrange for a doctor to treat him?"

Sokov hesitated for a moment, but still said Ponegerin's name: "It's Lieutenant Colonel Ponegerin. He suffered from severe rheumatism in a German prisoner-of-war camp, and now it has turned into rheumatic heart disease." You also know that he is a unit that I value highly, and now I have just been appointed as the commander of the 41st Guards Division, and it was when he was displaying his talents that he was found to have this disease."

Lunev was well aware of the relationship between Sokov and Ponedelin. Back then, in order to save Ponegerin's life, Sokov even used his own future as a guarantee, so his superiors changed their minds and agreed that Ponegerin would return to the front line to serve his crimes and meritorious deeds.

The two had such a close concern that Ponejelin had a heart attack, and Sokov, as his superior, would definitely find a way to find a doctor to help him continue the treatment. "Misha," Lunev said hesitantly, "I will arrange for a doctor from the cardiology department to go to the front line to examine the body of Lieutenant Colonel Pornedelin as soon as possible."
