"Comrade teacher!" Krezhiow asked the teacher with doubts: "What is going on? Didn't we all be screened out? Why do you want us to go back again?"
"Comrade monitor," the teacher raised his hand and patted Krezhiowf twice on the shoulder, and said to him with a smile: "Things have taken a turn for the better. General Sokov, after asking Marshal Zhukov for instructions, is ready to send you all
Incorporate him into the regimental commander. Okay, don't wait any longer, hurry back to the classroom and report, don't keep General Sokov waiting."
The instructor's words made Krezhiow feel that bread was falling from the sky. He asked in an unbelievable tone: "Comrade instructor, General Sokov really wants us all to go back?"
"It goes without saying, of course it's all true." After the teacher said this, seeing that the students were still standing still, he urged: "I say, comrades students, you were crying and shouting just now.
Join General Sokov's team. Now he has agreed to let you join. Why are you still standing here in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and get over!"
This sentence was like a call to attack to everyone. In an instant, students standing in the hall, sitting on benches, and sofas all rushed to the door.
All the other students had left, but Krezhiow and Vadim were still standing there. Seeing this, the teacher asked strangely: "Comrade monitor, everyone has gone back to the classroom, why are you two still here?"
Aren’t you leaving here?”
"Comrade teacher," Krezhiow heard the teacher ask and replied with an embarrassed look on his face: "General Sokov and I have a little conflict. I usually target him everywhere. I'm afraid he..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of." The teacher put his arm around Krezhiow's shoulders, led him outside, and said, "I think General Sokov is not such a stingy person, you'd better follow me back and take a look.
Bar."
When the two of them were about to reach the door, the instructor noticed that Vadim was still standing there, so he stopped and said displeasedly: "Captain Vadim, do you need General Sokov to come and invite you in person?"
When Krezhiow followed the teacher into the classroom, he happened to meet Sokov's eyes. Just when he was panicking, Sokov had already taken the initiative to greet him: "Comrade monitor, you are here! Everyone is waiting.
I’m looking at you, hurry up and take your seat.”
Sokov's words warmed Krezhiow's heart. He quickly stepped forward and held Sokov's hand with both hands. He said with tears of gratitude: "General Sokov, thank you for giving me such an opportunity."
Sokov smiled lightly and said: "Comrade squad leader, welcome to join my team. Come and take a seat, I have something else to say to everyone."
After everyone was seated, Sokov faced many students and said: "Students, the reason why I called you all back is because I called Marshal Zhukov not long ago and he suggested that I call all the students in the class
All students were incorporated into my team and formed a temporary headquarters, which immediately rushed to the front line to accumulate valuable command experience."
After Sokov explained his arrangement to all the students, he finally asked: "Who has any questions?"
"Comrade General." As soon as Sokov finished speaking, a captain stood up and asked with a solemn expression: "I would like to ask which unit our temporary headquarters will be sent to?"
The question asked by the captain was also of concern to everyone. Everyone focused their attention on Sokov, wanting to hear how he would answer everyone.
"Students, the temporary command headquarters you formed is only going to the front line to accumulate valuable command experience and strengthen the cohesion of the command." Sokov did not immediately say which unit the temporary headquarters would go to.
He asked rhetorically: "Does it really matter which army you join?"
"Yes, Comrade General." Unexpectedly, the captain replied unexpectedly: "I feel that if we want our team to accumulate combat experience and increase the cohesion of the team, we must go to the main combat units where the fighting is fierce. Only in this way can we achieve our goal."
The desired goal.”
"Then which unit do you want the temporary headquarters to go to?" Sokov asked with a smile.
"I think we can go to General Rokossovsky's Belarusian Front, General Vatutin's First Ukrainian Front, and General Konev's Second Ukrainian Front." The captain seemed to have considered this matter for a long time.
When asked Sokovsky's question, he answered unambiguously: "If the troops of the 3rd and 4th Ukrainian Fronts and the Baltic Coast Front were sent, the effect would be greatly reduced, because these troops are not responsible for the main tasks.
direction of attack."
"Comrade student," the instructor couldn't help but interjected after hearing this: "No matter which unit is used to attack the invaders and drive them out of our land, there is no primary or secondary purpose at all.
The desired direction of attack."
The captain quite respected the teacher Christonia. After hearing what he said, he obediently shut his mouth and stopped arguing about what was the main direction of attack and what was the secondary direction.
Sokov did not dwell on this matter, but announced in public: "From now on, you are a member of my temporary headquarters. The temporary headquarters is commanded by a three-person advisory team led by Major Ponejelin. As for
They have the final say on your work arrangements. Do you understand?"
The classroom was quiet for a moment, and then the voices of answers rang out one after another: "Understood!" "Understood!" "We resolutely obey Major Ponejelin's arrangements!"
Seeing that the students were all willing to accept Ponedelin's command, Sokov decided to be a hands-off boss, continue studying in the academy with peace of mind, and leave all matters of the temporary headquarters to Ponedelin. In About the Provisional Headquarters
Which unit will be assigned to, Sokov did not give a specific answer: "I have asked Marshal Zhukov to convey my request to Rokossovsky. If everything goes well, you will be arranged in Belarus."
Front Army."
When they learned that the temporary headquarters would be assigned to the Belarusian Front, except for a few trainees from the Ukrainian Front, everyone else was smiling. Even though their military ranks were not high, everyone knew that Rokossovsky was at the beginning of the war.
Later, how he grew from a mechanized army commander to a front army commander who took charge of his own affairs, and even remembered the many battles he had commanded. If the temporary headquarters could reach his troops, the effect would undoubtedly be the most obvious.
…………
After completing the intermediate commander training class, the senior commander training class that Sokov was going to attend had to wait another week before it started, so Sokov got a week's vacation. The trainees who joined the temporary command stayed at the
In the academy, receive training from Ponejelin.
Early in the morning, the dean brought several military doctors to Sokov's ward and said with a smile: "General Sokov, after several months of treatment, your injury has basically healed. I suggest you change it."
Local cultivation and more exposure to the sun will be very helpful for your health recovery."
Sokov understood the meaning of the dean's words and quickly asked, "Comrade dean, do you mean that I can be discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes, Comrade General." The dean replied with a smile: "Your current physical condition fully meets the standards for discharge. You also know that our hospital is deep underground, and there is no sunlight in the ward all day long.
This is very detrimental to your recovery. So you can leave the hospital and find a sunny place to recuperate. I believe it won’t take long for you to fully recover.”
The director has already completed the discharge procedures for Sokov. As long as they pack up the things in the ward, Sokov and Asiya can leave the hospital.
When the director left, Sokov suddenly thought of a key question: Where should he live after leaving the hospital? Although he had a house in Moscow, he lent it to Tonya and Anne at the Lenin Street Military Hospital.
You can't just go over and kick others out, right?
"Asiya," Sokov asked with some embarrassment: "After we leave the hospital, can we go to your dormitory?"
Asiya shook her head and said: "My dormitory is a two-person room, and there is another nurse living with me. If both of us live in it, what will that roommate do?"
"Then what should I do?" Sokov scratched the back of his head and said in embarrassment: "My house in Moscow has been lent to others. I rushed over there in a hurry, and no one else could make room for me."
Asiya thought for a moment and said to Sokov: "Misha, I think it's better to call Yakov and see if he can do anything."
"That's a good idea." Sokov nodded and said, "Then you pack your things here and I'll go outside and make a phone call."
Sokov limped out of the ward, came to the nearby nurse's desk, and politely asked the nurse on duty: "Comrade nurse, can you use the phone here to make outside calls?"
The nurse replied respectfully: "Comrade General, if you are calling the city, there will be no problem. But if you want to call the front line, you can only go to the dean's office."
"There's no need to go to the dean's office." Sokov waved his hand and said, "I'll just call the weapons and equipment department."
With the help of the nurse, Sokov got through Yakov's office: "Hello, is this Yasha? I'm Sokov."
"Misha!" Hearing Sokov's voice, Yakov looked particularly excited: "I'm too busy at this time to go see you. I'll go to the hospital to see you after I've been busy for a few days."
"In a few days, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me in the hospital."
"Ah?!" Yakov was startled by Sokov's words and quickly asked: "Did something happen to you? Why can't I see you then?"
"Because I will be discharged from the hospital today." Sokov said with a smile: "If you come to the hospital in a few days, you won't be able to see me."
"So that's what happened." Yakov asked tentatively: "Do you need me to drive to pick you up?"
"Of course it would be best if you could come to pick me up." Sokov continued: "But I called you because I have something to trouble you."
"Misha, do you still use the word trouble between you and me? Tell me, what is it?"
"After Asiya and I left the hospital, we had no place to go." Sokov explained to Yakov: "Yasha, you also know that the apartment assigned to me by my superiors was delayed after being lent to others.
It has not been taken back. As for Asia, after being transferred back to Moscow, she has been living in your dormitory..."
"Misha, you and Asiya stay in the hospital and wait for me. I will pick you up in an hour." Unexpectedly, before Sokov could finish speaking, Yakov interrupted him: "Record
Stay here, you can’t go anywhere until I arrive.”
"Okay, Yasha." Since Yakov said this, Sokov could not refute, so he reluctantly agreed: "I will stay in the hospital and wait for you."
As soon as Sokov returned to the ward, Asya couldn't wait to ask: "Misha, has the call to Yakov been answered?"
"Yes, we got through."
"How did he say?"
"He asked us to stay at the hospital and wait for him, and he would pick us up in an hour."
"Then did he say how to settle us?" Asiya asked hoping for a chance.
"No." Sokov shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything."
Asiya's face showed a disappointed expression: "It seems that after leaving the hospital, we will live on the streets."
Sokov was amused by her words: "Little fool, if I were just a corporal when I first met you, I might really end up sleeping on the street after leaving the hospital. But don't forget, I am a general now.
When did you see a general who didn’t even have a place to live?”
"Oh, that's true." Asiya heard what Sokov said and became happy again: "You are a general now. Even if the house you borrowed cannot be taken back for the time being, it shouldn't be a big problem to find a new place to live.
."
"Have everything been packed?"
"Yes, everything is packed." Asiya nodded and said, "We can leave the hospital just waiting for Yakov to come over."
After a pause, Asiya asked again: "Should we wait for Yakov in the ward, or should we wait for him at the door?"
"Asia, it's winter now. It's freezing and snowy outside. If we stay outside and wait for Yakov, maybe they won't come yet and both of us will be frozen." Sokov said decisively: "I think,
It's better to stay in the ward and wait for him."
Yakov said he would come in an hour, but the two of them waited for almost two hours before Yakov came late.
Seeing Yakov's appearance, Sokov said jokingly: "Yasha, you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten me."
"How is this possible?" Yakov said apologetically: "Just when I was about to leave, a new job came. When I finished it and rushed over, I was late."
Perhaps in order to atone for his crime, Yakov picked up a large bag placed on the hospital bed, slung it over his shoulder, and said to the two of them: "Let's go, my car is parked at the entrance of the hospital."
The Sokovs and his wife followed Yakov out of the hospital and got into a car parked in front of the hospital.
After Yakov got into the passenger seat, he said to the driver: "Comrade driver, let's drive."
Lubyanka is not far from Lenin Street, only a few minutes' drive.
When Sokov saw a familiar building on the roadside, he couldn't help but ask Yakov: "Yasha, are you going to take us to Lenin Street?"
"Yes." Yakov half-turned around and said to Sokov: "I am just going to send you to Lenin Street."
"Where are you going and what are you doing?" Sokov asked curiously: "Have you already helped me take back the house?"
"That's not true." Yakov shook his head and said, "You lent the house. Even if you want to take it back, you have to come forward in person. If I rush over there rashly, others will not pay attention to me at all."
