Red Moscow

Who Lukyanchenko is is a completely unfamiliar name to Sokov, and he knows nothing about the other person's resume. Although Sokov didn't necessarily want to be the deputy chief of staff for military affairs in the cluster stationed in Germany, he still felt a little disappointed when he heard that someone had replaced him in his original position.

After Malinin finished speaking, he paused for a moment. Without listening to Sokov, he continued: "When you were in the marshal's office just now, you already knew that I was going to take up a post in the Austrian cluster, and my replacement was Dratvin. Lieutenant General Lukyanchenko was recommended by him. In fact, I think it doesn't matter if you don't hold this position. After all, the new chief of staff is a lieutenant general, but you are a general. "Those who know the inside story know that this is our work arrangement; those who don't know the inside story think that you have made some mistake to be demoted."

Sokov would be lying if he said he didn't feel disappointed when he learned he missed out on the post of deputy chief of staff. Fortunately, he adjusted his mentality in time. He was not willing to come to Berlin anyway. Now that his scheduled post was no longer available, he could return to Moscow in good faith. He didn't want to be thousands of miles away when Asiya gave birth to her child. Berlin.

"Comrade Chief of Staff, since there is nothing to do with me here, can I return to Moscow as soon as possible?"

Although Sokov tried his best to speak in a calm tone, Malinen still heard a trace of unwillingness in his tone. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Misha, I am not qualified to make the decision about your stay. If you want to return Moscow, it’s best to go to Marshal Zhukov and see how he plans to arrange it.”

"Okay, Comrade Chief of Staff." Sokov said: "I will go to Comrade Marshal tomorrow and ask if it can be arranged for me to return to Moscow in the near future."

As soon as Sokov put down the phone, Adelina came over and said in a panic: "Misha, you want to go back to Moscow?"

"Yes, Adelina." Sokov turned to Adelina and said: "Marshal Zhukov originally recruited me to Berlin because he wanted me to serve as deputy to Chief of Staff Malinin and deputy chief of staff for military affairs. But Chief of Staff Malinin just told me on the phone that his and Marshal Zhukov's recommendations were rejected by the Supreme Command, and the superiors appointed a new Chief of Staff of the Cluster in Germany and Deputy Chief of Staff for Military Affairs. I will stay here. It doesn’t make any sense anymore.”

Agelina heard what Sokov said, opened her arms and hugged Sokov's waist, rested her head on his shoulder, and asked in a gloomy tone: "Misha, are you willing to abandon me and go back to Moscow like this?" ?"

Sokov was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer Agelina's question.

To be honest, he must have feelings for Agelina in his heart, and he would definitely not be able to do it if he were to just go back to Moscow without caring about her. But it's no good if he doesn't go back. There's no point in him staying here. Besides, there's Asya to take care of in Moscow, so it's only a matter of time before he goes back.

Seeing that Sokov didn't answer her question for a long time, Agelina couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She let go of her hand holding Sokov's waist, took a step back, and wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her hands: "Misha, you Don't worry, I won't pester you. If you really want to leave, I won't force you to stay. I just hope you have a safe journey." After that, she turned and walked towards the door.

"Agelina," Sokov hurriedly grabbed Agelina's hand and took her into his arms: "Don't go."

Agelina twisted her body and tried to struggle out of Sokov's arms: "You are going back to Moscow, why are you leaving me?"

Sokov didn't know what was going on, he just hugged Agelina tightly, fearing that if he let go, the other party would walk away.

After an unknown amount of time, Agelina stopped struggling and said softly: "Misha, let me go."

Sokov was worried that Agelina would leave, so why would he let go easily, and still hugged her tightly.

"Okay, okay, Misha, I won't leave." Agelina said, "You can let me go now."

After hearing Agelina's promise to him, Sokov finally let go of the other party, but to be on the safe side, he still asked: "Are you really not going to leave?"

"Don't leave, don't leave." Agelina said: "As long as you are still in Berlin, I will stay by your side. Of course, if my superiors transfer me to work elsewhere, then I will leave you early. "

"I will find a way to stay in Berlin." After repeated ideological struggles, Sokov finally made a decision: "If the two of us separate, I don't know how long it will take before we have the opportunity to meet again. So I will do more To accompany you."

"For the positions assigned to you by Marshal Zhukov and Chief of Staff Malinin, haven't your superiors already assigned someone else to you? What's the point of you continuing to stay in Berlin?"

"The work in my hand is not finished yet." Sokov said: "I have promised Marshal Zhukov that I will hand over to him the plan for forming a new German army tomorrow. If the plan is approved, I may still stay to assist. Relevant parties have formed troops and will therefore stay in Berlin for a considerable period of time.”

"Then write it quickly." Agelina originally opposed Sokov's plan to form a new German army, but now she found that if Zhukov adopted this plan, then Sokov would be able to stay with her in Berlin, so she urged him Said: "Try to hand over the written plan to Marshal Zhukov tomorrow."

As Agelina began clearing the table, Sokov began writing a plan. His idea has changed, and he has changed the originally envisioned regiment-level force into a garrison headquarters in a certain district. The garrison headquarters will accept the command of the staff of the cluster in Germany. The garrison commander will be sent by the Soviet army, and the deputy commander will It will be filled by people from Germany.

It took Sokov more than an hour to finish writing the plan for forming the army. He called Agelina, handed over the plan he had written, and said at the same time: "Agelina, please help me see if there is anything that needs to be modified."

Agelina took the plan and browsed it quickly. Soon, she read the contents of the plan, nodded slowly and said: "Misha, I think your plan is good. It is to set up a garrison headquarters, which will be composed of prisoners of war and volunteers selected from the prisoner of war camp. Putting the troops under their jurisdiction is very conducive to our army's management of this force. "

"Since you think there is no problem, I will hand over the plan to Marshal Zhukov tomorrow."

…

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Sokov called Vaserigov and said to him: "Major, I plan to go to the headquarters to see Marshal Zhukov. Please arrange a vehicle for me to take me there. "

"Okay, Comrade General." Vaselgov raised his hand to look at the time, and then said: "In a quarter of an hour, the car will be waiting for you at the door."

After Sokov waited for Vaserigov to leave, he sat in the restaurant and chatted with Agelina. After the time was almost up, he walked out. Seeing that Agelina was about to follow, he said to her: "Agelina, go back to your room and rest first, and don't send me off."

Agelina agreed, waved to Sokov, turned and walked towards the room.

Sokov walked out of the hotel and saw two jeeps parked on the roadside. Several soldiers and Vaserigov were standing next to the vehicles chatting. Seeing Sokov come out, everyone quickly stood at attention and paid attention to Sokov.

"Comrade General," Vaserigov opened the back door of the second jeep and Sokov said respectfully: "Please get in!"

The two jeeps left the Adlon Hotel one behind the other and headed towards Zhukov's headquarters.

Unexpectedly, after driving two or three hundred meters, the car in front stopped.

Seeing the car in front of him stop, Sokov couldn't help but frowned and asked Vaserigov, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Major, what's going on? Why did the car in front of him stop?"

"Comrade General." Upon hearing Sokov's inquiry, Vaserigov turned around and said, "I'm going to ask what's going on." After saying that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Soon, Vaserigov came back and said to Sokov: "Comrade General, I don't know what happened ahead. Suddenly a pile of bricks and rubble appeared in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the car. Our soldiers are clearing the road. ”

"Damn it! There's no war now, how could bricks and rubble suddenly appear in the middle of the road?" Sokov opened the car door and said angrily to Vaserigov: "Come on, let's go over and see what's going on. thing."

When Sokov and Vaserigov came to the position of the car in front, they saw bricks and rubble piled in the middle of the road, forming a hill about half a person high. At first glance, it seemed that someone had done it deliberately, and it was not a transport at all. Trucks of construction waste were scattered.

Seeing this, Sokov suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He put his hand into his coat pocket, held the pistol inside, and carefully observed the surrounding environment. At the same time, he asked Vaselgov Said: "Major, the situation is not right, please be careful."

Hearing what Sokov said, Vaserigov said disapprovingly: "Our troops are everywhere in the city, how can something happen?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in civilian clothes rushed out of the ruins on the roadside, carrying a bazooka rocket launcher on his shoulder.

"Comrade General! Be careful!!!" Seeing this situation, Vaserigov roared hoarsely, then jumped over and threw Sokov to the ground.

"Wha~~~!" The rocket dragged its white tail and flew towards Sokov and others.

After the "boom" sound, Vaselgov first felt his back feel hot, and then countless gravel fell like raindrops, causing pain all over his body.

Sokov raised his head and saw the man using the bazooka. He threw the bazooka in his hand, turned around and prepared to run deeper into the ruins. Sokov, who had rich experience in street fighting, knew that it would be very difficult to catch the other person once he escaped into the ruins. He quickly took out his pistol, aimed at the man's back and pulled the trigger.

Because of the hasty shooting, Sokov's first two shots missed the target, but the third shot knocked the opponent to the ground.

But soon, the injured man got up from the ground and continued running deeper into the ruins with a limp. He was probably hit by a bullet in the leg.

At this moment, Vaserigov also came to his senses. He grabbed a Bobosha submachine gun that fell on the ground and fired at the man. The limping man suddenly had five or six bloody holes on his back. After turning around half a circle, he fell softly to the ground.

"Major," Sokov originally wanted to catch him alive and figure out who was instigating this ambush, but with Vaserigov's shooting, the man who attacked him was probably more likely to be in danger, but he still hugged him. Taking a chance, he said: "Go and see if he is still alive?"

Vaserigov agreed and rushed over with two soldiers.

When Sokov came to the man lying on the ground, Vasergov, who had just checked the man's injuries, raised his head and said to Sokov with a grimace: "Comrade General, he is dead."

"Dead?!" After learning that the man had been beaten to death by Vaselgov, Sokov realized that the clues were broken and he might never have a chance to find out who was behind the attack.

Although the man who attacked was killed, there were also many casualties on Sokov's side. Of the driver and four guards sitting in the first car, two died and one was injured, which can be considered a heavy loss.

"Comrade General," Vaserigov said to Sokov: "We may not be able to go to Marshal Zhukov's headquarters for the time being. We have to stay here to wait for the patrol team and explain to them what happened here. ”

"Okay." Sokov didn't know whether the gangster who attacked him had any accomplices hiding in other places. In addition, two of the accompanying soldiers were killed and one was injured. He had to make proper arrangements before leaving, so he agreed. He accepted Vaserigov's suggestion: "Then we will stay here and wait for the patrol."

The nearby patrol team heard the explosions and gunshots here and rushed over immediately.

The first patrol to arrive consisted of more than 40 people, led by a lieutenant. After seeing Sokov, he quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to salute: "Hello, comrade general, I am the captain of the patrol, Wu Lieutenant Zika, what happened here?"

"Lieutenant, can't you see what happened here?" Before Sokov could finish speaking, Vaserigov said angrily: "Our convoy was attacked by gangsters, and he used bazooka." The rocket launcher fired at our car, causing two soldiers to die and one person to be injured. Do you have a radio? If so, help us contact the field hospital. We need to send the injured comrades to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Yes, Comrade Major." Udika replied hurriedly: "We have a radio. I will immediately report what happened here to my superiors and ask them to send ambulances to treat the wounded."

The ambulance didn't come, so Agelina came with another patrol.

Seeing Sokov standing on the roadside, Agelina immediately rushed forward, hugged Sokov and asked nervously: "Misha, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Agelina, I'm okay." After Sokov said this, he glanced at Vaselgov standing next to him: "Fortunately, Major Vaselgov knocked me down in time and allowed me to succeed. "I escaped the rocket attack, otherwise I might have been injured by now."

"Comrade Major," Adelina heard what Sokov said, turned her eyes to Vaserigov, and said in a grateful tone: "Thank you for saving Misha. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid he would have been injured again. ”

After hearing what Adelina said, Vasergov scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "Comrade Adelina, it is my responsibility to protect the safety of comrade general. You don't need to express your gratitude to me. Thank God. Fortunately, Comrade General was not injured, otherwise I wouldn’t have known how to explain it to my superiors.”
