"Send a telegram to Lieutenant Colonel Ponejelin," Sokov said to Sameko: "Tell him to allocate a certain number of troops to monitor these Romanian troops. If they do anything detrimental to our army, then
Strike first to gain the upper hand."
"This is not good, Comrade Commander." Sameko said hesitantly: "Some Romanian troops have a wait-and-see attitude towards our army. If we send troops to monitor them, will they think it is a war?
Prelude to?”
"Comrade Chief of Staff, I think the commander is right, this should be done." Trofimenko agreed with Sokov's order: "We don't know what these Romanians think.
I don’t know whether we should treat them as friends or enemies. What if we treat them as friends and they are plotting against us behind our backs? So the safest way is to send troops to monitor them and decide how to treat them based on their actual attitudes."
Sokov remembered a classic line and said it casually: "When a friend comes, there is good wine; when a jackal comes, he is greeted with a shotgun."
"Okay, well said!" At this time, a cheering voice came from the door: "When friends come, they have good wine, and when the jackals come, they are greeted with shotguns. That's very well said!"
Sokov looked towards the door and saw Smirnov slowly walking in from the outside with the support of a female health worker. He quickly stepped forward to greet him and asked with concern: "Comrade Chief of Staff,
You are still injured. If you don’t recuperate in the hospital, why would you come to the headquarters?”
"I'm fine." Smirnov waved his hand and said, "The hospital performed an operation on me and took out the bullet. The military doctor said that the injury will heal as long as I rest for about half a month."
Sokov saw that Smirnov seemed a little unconscious, so he pulled aside the female health worker who sent him over and asked in a low voice: "When did Comrade Chief of Staff complete the operation?"
"Two hours ago." The female hygienist replied in a low voice: "The effect of the anesthetic will wear off soon. If we wait a little longer, the chief of staff will probably suffer from drowsiness, dizziness, and vomiting."
"Since you knew this would happen, why did you let him come here?"
"Comrade Commander, there is nothing I can do." The female health worker said with a sad face: "He is the chief of staff, and I am just a health worker. If he wants to come here, I can only obey."
Sokov also understood the female health worker's difficulties and said to her: "I will advise him to go back and rest as soon as possible. This can also reduce some of your burden."
Hearing what Sokov said, the female health worker burst into tears and said with gratitude: "Comrade Commander, thank you so much."
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov returned to Smirnov and said to him in a stern tone: "You have just had surgery not long ago. The most important thing for you right now is rest. Rest, understand.
?"
Smirnov smiled at Sokov and said: "Comrade Commander, I am not afraid that there will be too much work in the headquarters and you will be too busy, so I came here to help."
"Comrade Chief of Staff, we have enough manpower to deal with everything that is happening right now." Sokov went out of his way and said to Smirnov in a stern tone: "What you can do to help us right now is to go back to the ward and take a good rest.
We hope to recover and be discharged as soon as possible, so that we can come back to assist our work."
Hearing what Sokov said, Trofimenko and Samyko realized that something was wrong and quickly echoed: "Yes, General Smirnov, you'd better go back to the hospital to rest first. Morning
A day of recovery is better than anything else."
Seeing that everyone agreed with him and was about to send Smirnov back to the hospital ward, Sokov picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said: "I am Sokov, please ask Captain Koshkin to come to me."
Let’s pay a visit to the headquarters.”
Koshkin quickly walked in from outside, stood in front of Sokov, and asked respectfully: "Comrade Commander, what are your instructions?"
Sokov pointed his hand at Smirnov, who was sitting next to him, and ordered: "Take two people and help the female health worker return the chief of staff to the ward."
Koshkin was shocked when he saw Smirnov sitting next to him. He asked Sokov in some surprise: "Comrade Commander, shouldn't the Chief of Staff be undergoing surgery in the hospital? How come he is here?"
"
"He couldn't let go of his work here." Sokov said with some helplessness: "Just two hours after the operation, the effects of the anesthetic had not completely worn off, so he rushed here in a hurry."
When Koshkin and his soldiers helped Smirnov to leave, the latter suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I want to ask about the German female sniper who injured me.
Hands, how did you dispose of them?"
"After we interrogated her, the special service chief suggested that she be shot directly." Sokov replied: "But I think keeping her may have a greater effect."
"Comrade Commander, I think the suggestion of the Special Service Section Chief is right." Unexpectedly, after listening to this, Smirnov said unexpectedly: "This is a ruthless woman who is willing to sacrifice herself in order to complete her mission.
The life of my companion. If you leave her behind, there may be unexpected troubles."
After Smirnov left, Trofimenko faced Sokov and said: "Comrade Commander, I think General Smirnov is right. The female sniper we captured is a ruthless character. For
To divert our attention and betray his own teammates personally, such a person is simply a scourge."
"Comrade Deputy Commander," Sokov smiled faintly at Trofimenko and explained: "The reason why I kept her was entirely because we also sent two sniper teams. I wanted to be prepared."
"Be prepared?!" Hearing what Sokov said, Trofimenko had a confused expression on his face.
Samyko thought for a moment and suddenly understood what Sokov was thinking: "Comrade Commander, I understand. You are worried that an accident will happen to the two sniper teams we sent. For example, Lyudmila, Vasily and
Any one of the three old men may be captured by the Germans. Are you keeping this female sniper for future prisoner exchanges?"
Regarding Sameko's guess, Sokov nodded and said: "Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff, I do have plans in this regard, but this is not the main reason why I keep her."
"Exchanging prisoners is not your main purpose?!" Sameko was completely confused: "Then why?"
"I think this female sniper named Alia has a very strong psychological quality and superb sniper skills. It would be best if she could help us train snipers."
"Comrade Commander, you are too fanciful." Trofimenko shook his head and said, "She is our enemy, how can she help us train snipers?"
"Enemies can also be transformed." Sokov said to Trofimenko: "After General Gorokhov comes back in two days, let him do Alia's work and see if he has the ability to persuade Alia.
Leah changed her position."
Regarding Sokov's statement, Trofimenko did not argue, but shook his head with a wry smile, thinking that Comrade Commander would definitely hit a wall in this matter.
"By the way, Comrade Commander, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you." Sameko suddenly said in surprise: "I forgot to report to the front headquarters that the headquarters encountered a sniper attack.
Already."
Now Sokov is commanding a combat group. Unlike the previous group armies, all details must be reported to the front army headquarters, which leads to the situation that is often missed today. When he learned that the headquarters was attacked by a sniper, he did not
Reporting to the front army headquarters in time, Sokov showed an unhappy expression on his face.
Fortunately, Samyko was his old subordinate, so Sokov did not pursue the mistake he made, but said calmly: "I will report it to Marshal Konev personally."
When the call was connected, Konev learned that Sokov's headquarters had been attacked by German snipers. He was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. He quickly asked with concern: "How is it? Are there any casualties?"
"General Smirnov, the chief of staff, was shot in the shoulder." Sokov reported: "But he has had surgery and the bullet in his shoulder has been removed. He only needs to stay in the hospital for a while to recover."
"No one died, thank God." Konev said: "I just heard you said that snipers attacked your headquarters. My heart was in my throat, and I was deeply afraid that any commander would unfortunately die.
By the way, what did you do with the sniper after you caught him?"
According to Konev's idea, enemy snipers were either directly shot dead by their own personnel, or they were captured alive and shot after being interrogated and asked for useful information.
Unexpectedly, Sokov's answer was beyond his expectation: "Comrade Marshal, I left her behind. Now she is recuperating in our hospital. After her injuries recover, I plan to persuade her to become our sniper instructor."
"
"Confused, Comrade Sokov, you are so confused." After listening to Sokov's words, Konev suddenly got angry: "She is our enemy, how can you let her be a teacher for our people? Listen!
If I say so, she will be shot immediately. She must have been determined to die before she came to Otac to perform the mission. Shooting her will be equivalent to helping her settle a worry."
If he could be shot, Sokov would have shot Alia long ago. He kept her, which was indeed of great use. Now that he heard that Konev also asked him to shoot her, Sokov couldn't help but panic.
, he hurriedly explained: "Comrade Marshal, in fact, it is of great use for me to keep her."
"Great use, what great use?"
"That's it, Comrade Marshal." Sokov saw that the reason for keeping Alia as a teacher was directly rejected by Konev, so he could only adjust his strategy to persuade the other party: "I just ordered Lyudmila, Va
Xili and the old man formed two sniper teams and went to the north and south respectively to kill the German snipers.
I kept Alia as the enemy's sniper because I was worried that something might happen to our three most precious snipers while performing their missions. For example, if they were unfortunately captured, we have Alia as our trump card, and we can fight with them.
The enemy exchanged prisoners."
Although Sokov's reason was far-fetched, Konev felt it was impeccable and could only nod his head and said helplessly: "Okay, Comrade Sokov, let her live a few more days. Remember, wait for Liu
Demila, Vasily and their sniper team will shoot the German snipers immediately after they return safely. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Comrade Marshal." Sokov was thinking in his mind. It seemed that he had to ask Gorokhov to speed up his persuasion. Otherwise, when the two dispatched sniper teams returned safely, he would have no choice but to reluctantly order Aaliya to be shot.
Already.
When Sokov put down the phone, Trofimenko looked at him with sympathy and asked in a gloating tone: "Comrade Commander, I wonder what Marshal Konev said? Should she be kept here or should she be with all of us?"
If they agree with each other, shoot her?"
Sokov sighed softly and said helplessly: "The marshal asked me to wait for the two sniper teams to return safely before shooting Alia."
"Comrade Commander, based on my experience," Trofimenko said: "If a sniper fails in their mission, they will never be captured alive by the enemy. They will try their best to fight until the last moment. You see, no matter it is
Lyudmila, Vasily or the respected old man, which one of them looks like being captured by the Germans?"
After saying this, Trofimenko paused deliberately for a moment to observe Sokov's expression. Seeing Sokov sitting there in a daze with an expressionless face, he continued: "You have to be shot anyway, and it is better to shoot him sooner than later."
Shooting her will save the medicine needed to treat her injuries. These precious medicines can be reserved for our commanders and soldiers who need her more."
Sokov fell into a dilemma. He chose to keep Alia because he was indeed interested in her ability and hoped that she could be used by him. But judging from the current situation, it would be more difficult to persuade the other party to submit.
It was difficult to reach heaven. But if he shot her to death like this, he would be unwilling to do so.
After Trofimenko finished speaking, he saw Sokov frowning and seemed to be thinking hard about something. He knew in his heart that Sokov was still worried about how to deal with Alia. If he wanted to choose to shoot him, he would probably
He had already made up his mind. He didn't want to put Sokov in a dilemma, so he sighed softly and said: "Comrade Commander, since you can't make a decision at this time, let's wait and wait for dispatch."
Let’s talk after the two sniper teams return safely.”
It happened that at this time, Koshkin sent Smirnov off and came back to report to Sokov. Sokov took the opportunity to say to him: "Comrade Captain, arrange a few more people to guard Alia. Don't let him escape."
Now. Remember, she can’t be without anyone around her 24 hours a day, do you understand?”
"But, Comrade Commander." Koshkin said with some embarrassment: "She is a woman after all, and I think it is not convenient sometimes for us, a group of grown men, to take care of her."
"Then you arrange two more female soldiers." Sokov said with a straight face: "There must be someone around her 24 hours a day. This will prevent her from escaping from our hands."
"Comrade Commander, I don't understand." Koshkin said puzzledly: "Usually, snipers who capture the enemy are shot directly. Why did you want to leave her alive?"
"Comrade Captain, this is not something you should worry about. Your mission is to send someone to keep a close eye on her. If she escapes, I will never go around you lightly."
