Chapter 174 The identity of the female second lieutenant
On the early morning of March 8th, Sokov was about to leave for Sushinich when he suddenly received a call from Malinin. The Army Chief of Staff asked directly on the phone: "Comrade Major, have you left yet?"
"Comrade Chief of Staff, I'm getting ready to leave." Sokov knew that Malinin must have something important to call if he called at this time, so he quickly asked carefully: "I wonder what your instructions are?"
"That's right. During the battle in the past two days, didn't you capture a female second lieutenant of the German Army's communications corps?"
"Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff." Sokov held the microphone and looked across the hall. He saw the beautiful female second lieutenant, covered with a thin blanket, curled up and sleeping in the corner.
, "She has been detained in my battalion command post."
"When you come to Susinich, take her with you."
"What, take her with you?" When he heard Malinin say this, Sokov's heart sank, and he secretly thought that he was going to send her to a prisoner of war camp? If a delicate woman like her was really sent to
After arriving in a prisoner-of-war camp in Siberia, it was estimated that she would die in less than two months. Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "Comrade Chief of Staff, may I ask why she was brought to Sushinich?"
After Sokov finished asking, he noticed that Malinin seemed to be covering the microphone with his hand and was asking the person next to him for instructions in a low voice. He guessed that Malinin might be asking the other person if he could let him know the truth. After a while,
Malinin's voice came from the receiver again: "Major Sokov, anyway, you are going to the army headquarters soon. You will know about this sooner or later, so I won't hide it from you. This female second lieutenant named Elizabeth, she
My fiancé Andreas, an anti-*** activist and a leader of the underground resistance organization, was murdered in a German concentration camp two weeks ago."
The fiancé of a German female second lieutenant was a member of the underground organization and was killed by the Germans. Based on Malinin's story, Sokov immediately thought of a possibility and hurriedly asked: "Comrade Chief of Staff, so, she
Maybe they are also on our side?"
"We still need to do further verification on this matter." Malinin did not say anything more, but just urged Sokov: "Major Sokov, hurry up and come over. Comrade Commander is preparing to set off at nine o'clock sharp.
"
After learning that Elizabeth might be one of his own, Sokov suddenly felt much better, because this way, she would not be sent to a labor camp in Siberia, and what he was worried about would not happen. He soon
Step by step, he came to Elizabeth's side, leaned down, gently pushed her shoulder a few times, and whispered at the same time: "Wake up, Elizabeth, wake up..."
Elizabeth, who was sleeping soundly, sat up suddenly after being woken up by Sokov. She hugged the blanket to her chest and asked warily: "Mr. Major, what do you want to do?"
"Elizabeth, don't be afraid." Sokov grinned and said to her: "I'm here to send you on your way." As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. He was originally going to send her to the army headquarters.
Saying it made me feel like I was going to send her to the execution ground.
When Elizabeth heard what Sokov said, she put aside the blanket in her arms, arranged her hair with her hands, stood up, and faced Sokov and said righteously: "I'm ready, where are you going to shoot me?"
I?"
Seeing that the other party had indeed misunderstood what he meant, Sokov was a little dumbfounded. He hurriedly waved his hands and explained to the other party: "You have misunderstood. When I said to go on the road, I meant to send you to the army headquarters, not to shoot you."
."
After he said this, seeing that Elizabeth was still vigilant, he quickly added: "I know that your fiancé Andreas is an anti-*** activist and the leader of an underground organization..."
The name Andreas immediately made Elizabeth's vigilance disappear without a trace. She exclaimed, grabbed Sokov's arm, and asked excitedly: "Where is Andreas now? Is he okay?"
Bar?"
Sokov was eager to bring Elizabeth to the Army Group Headquarters, so naturally he would not tell her the news that Andreas had been killed by the Germans. Instead, he said vaguely: "Elizabeth, I have been ordered to take you to the Army Group Headquarters.
Regarding the specific situation of Andreas, I think someone will tell you when we get there."
Elizabeth learned that she could get the exact information about her fiancé when she arrived at the army headquarters, so she couldn't wait any longer. She grabbed Sokov's arm and walked out of the church. At the same time, she said anxiously: "Mr. Major, what about that?"
Let’s leave now.”
There is a jeep parked outside the church. It was specially sent by Zhukov after the Istrian battalion occupied the town of Maklaki, saying that it would facilitate Sokov's travel.
Sokov and Elizabeth got into the back seat of the car. As soon as the door was closed, Sokov told the driver: "Comrade driver, drive! We must reach Susinich within an hour."
"Don't worry, comrade battalion commander." The driver said without looking back: "I will definitely send you to Susinich on time."
"Mr. Major," after the jeep started, Elizabeth changed her usual reticence and said to Sokov in a chatty tone: "Since last October, I was ordered to be transferred to the Eastern Front, I have never seen my fiancé again.
I wrote him more than a dozen letters, but he didn’t reply to any of them, and I don’t know what happened to him, which made me feel uneasy..."
Although Sokov already knew that Elizabeth's fiancé died in the concentration camp, he could not tell her. He could only pretend to be interested and listen carefully to the story Elizabeth told. When the story was finished, Sokov's
I was completely sure in my heart that Elisabeth had already become a staunch anti-*** activist like Andreas. She worked in the communications department of the German army, and she must have some special tasks. If she hadn't considered her own
If the level is not enough, and Elizabeth does not fully trust him, he will definitely break the casserole and ask the truth.
The jeep came to a stop at the door of the Army Group Headquarters. The officer on duty at the door saw Sokov getting out of the car and immediately came over and asked, "Is that Major Sokov?"
"Yes, I am Sokov."
"Hello, Comrade Major." The officer saluted Sokov, turned to look at Elizabeth behind him, and asked: "Is this the Second Lieutenant Elizabeth you brought?"
When Elizabeth heard the officer ask her name, she quickly stepped forward and replied: "Yes, I am Elizabeth!"
"Ms. Second Lieutenant, I was ordered to come here to pick you up." The officer turned his body to the side of the road, pointed towards the building and said: "Please follow me, I will take you to the director of the Political Department.
