"In the battle to defend Moscow, tens of thousands of our commanders and soldiers died." Sokov sighed softly and said regretfully: "In order to defend our great motherland, countless young soldiers sacrificed their lives.
Precious life."
The secretary stood up and walked to Sokov and said in a low voice: "Comrade Colonel, this is the only relic of the factory director Peter's son. He takes it out to look at it every day. One time when I went in, I forgot to knock on the door and saw
He was crying silently while holding this military coat."
Sokov's eyes dimmed quickly. He quickly turned his head and glanced at the closed door, then turned back to the secretary and said: "Comrade Secretary, please tell Director Peter that we will avenge his son.
Strike hard at the invaders of Faxi Temple." After saying that, he nodded to his secretary, turned around and walked out of the office with the waiting soldiers.
"Comrade Commander!" As soon as he walked out of the office, a corporal asked: "Where are we going next?"
Although Sokov could not name the corporal, he knew that he was the squad leader of the seventh squad, so he stopped and said: "Seven squad squad leaders, I just received a call from the commander, asking me to rush to the headquarters immediately."
"Going to the headquarters?" The seventh squad leader glanced at the soldiers beside him and said with some embarrassment: "Comrade division commander, there are only five of us. If we encounter the enemy on the road, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist."
"Don't worry, squad leader seven." Sokov said disapprovingly: "The distance from the factory building to the army headquarters is only two or three kilometers. This area is still under the control of our army. Even if we encounter the enemy, as long as we
If we can hold on for a few minutes, nearby troops will rush over to support us."
Sokov and his team left the factory building, walked through the factory area, exited the east factory gate, and headed in the direction of the army headquarters. When they were only two to three hundred meters away from the headquarters, there was suddenly a dense sound in front of them.
gunshots.
Upon hearing the gunfire, Sokov instinctively yelled: "Hide!" Then he jumped into the crater on the roadside, placed his gun on the edge of the crater, and watched his surroundings vigilantly.
"Comrade Division Commander," the seventh squad leader who jumped into the trench after him heard the gunshots not far away and said in a panic: "Listening to the gunshots, it seems that there is an attack in the direction of the headquarters."
Since the location of the headquarters was blocked by a river embankment, Sokov could only hear the sound of gunshots and explosions, as well as the rising fire and smoke, but could not see anything. He felt that the seventh squad leader was right, and he must have
The headquarters was attacked. Chuikov was in danger, and as a subordinate, he certainly couldn't stand by and watch, he had to help.
Thinking of this, he turned to the seventh squad leader and said: "The headquarters is in danger. We can't just sit idly by and follow me." After saying that, he jumped out of the crater with his gun in hand.
The seventh squad leader heard the gunshots and explosions in the distance and guessed that the enemy must be quite large. He originally wanted to hide here to observe the situation, but without saying a word, Sokov rushed forward with his gun in hand. The division commander
They all rushed forward. As a guard, he couldn't stay lying in the crater without moving. He could only curse Sokov in his heart, climbed out of the crater with all his strength, and rushed up behind him.
When they rushed to the river embankment, they saw a dozen soldiers below, under the command of a major, shooting at a group of people wearing Soviet uniforms on the opposite side. Sokov saw that both sides were wearing Soviet uniforms.
I was stunned at first, but soon realized that one of them must be a German in disguise.
Before he could tell which side was his own and which was the Germans, he heard the seventh squad leader muttering to the side: "Oh my god, why are we fighting with our own people?"
"Squad Leader Seven, haven't you seen it yet?" Sokov heard what the Seven Squad Leader said and immediately said with anger: "Are the Germans pretending to be our army and trying to sneak attack the headquarters?"
The confused seventh squad leader asked in a panic: "Then what should we do?"
"Go up and help our own people and destroy the invading enemies."
"But how do we know which side is our own and which is the Germans?" The seventh squad leader said hesitantly: "If we fight with our own people, it will be troublesome."
Sokov approached the soldiers on his side with a finger and said: "Seventh squad leader, fifty or sixty meters behind the soldiers here is the group army headquarters. Tell me, which side is the enemy and which side is us?
One of our own?"
After Sokov's reminder, the seventh squad leader immediately came to his senses. If the troops approaching their side were disguised by the German army, they would definitely leave a small number of people to contain their own troops, and then the rest would rush directly to the commander.
department.
After clearly distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, Sokov led several of his subordinates, using the cover of trenches and bomb craters, to quickly approach the troops commanded by the major. Not far after they ran away, the major noticed a small detachment coming from behind.
I thought they were enemies, but when I saw clearly that these people did not shoot at me when they were running, I judged that they were our own people.
"Hey, Sergeant!" The Major leaned out of the crater and shouted loudly: "Come to me quickly!"
"Sergeant?!" Sokov couldn't help but be startled when he heard the major shouting. He thought to himself, there was only one corporal, commander of the seventh squad, and the rest were privates. What sergeant appeared out of nowhere? Such a sergeant appeared out of nowhere.
Distracted, his steps could not help but slow down a bit.
Seeing Sokov and the others slowing down, the major became a little anxious: "Hey, Sergeant, I told you to come here quickly. Why are you still lingering there?"
Hearing the major's roar, Sokov looked down at the military coat he was wearing and couldn't help but laugh. He was wearing Peter's son's military coat. No wonder the other party recognized him as a sergeant, but the war was urgent and he didn't bother to explain.
, and quickly rushed into the trenches ahead with a few soldiers and came to the major's side.
The major glanced at Sokov, pointed towards the opposite position with his hand, and said in a commanding tone: "Sergeant, opposite is a group of enemies wearing our uniforms. They tried to reach our headquarters, but they were halfway there.
But they were discovered by us. I now order you to rush forward with your people and eliminate them all."
Sokov took a look at the distance between the two positions. It was about eighty meters. Although there were many craters in the middle, most of the places were open and unobstructed. Such terrain allowed him to lead five people
The soldier charging was simply risking his life. So Sokov shook his head and retorted: "I'm sorry, Comrade Major, I can't carry out your order. The distance between the two positions is so far, and many areas are exposed to enemy fire."
Now, if I lead a charge, I'm afraid we'll all be dead before we even get in front of the enemy."
Unexpectedly, the major was unmoved after hearing this. Instead, he said in a more stern tone: "Sergeant, this is my order. Do you want to disobey me on the battlefield?" As he spoke, the pistol in his hand pointed at him intentionally or unintentionally.
He gestured with Sokov, as if Sokov would not hesitate to enforce battlefield discipline if he did not carry out his orders.
"Major!" Sokov said unmoved: "If it is the right order, I will definitely carry it out without hesitation. But the order you gave is to let us die. Sorry, I will reply again.
You, I cannot carry out your wrong order and let my soldiers die in vain."
When the major saw that Sokov still disobeyed his orders, he couldn't help but became angry and wanted to shoot Sokov immediately. However, when he saw the several soldiers standing behind Sokov pointing their guns at him, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
. He lowered his gun and asked angrily: "Which part are you from?"
Sokov did not recognize the other party, so he did not identify himself. He simply said: "We are from the 41st Guards Division, and we are here to carry out orders at the headquarters."
"Come here!" The major turned to call a soldier and ordered him: "Go and call Second Lieutenant Samoilov over and tell him that there are several soldiers of the Guards Division who disobey my orders.
Let him come over quickly and discipline him."
When Sokov saw that the major sent someone to call Samoilov, he stopped paying attention to him. Instead, he lay down in the trench and looked across. In the trench opposite, there were more than a dozen people disguised as Soviet soldiers.
The Germans may have run out of ammunition. Seeing that the Soviet troops did not fire, they also stopped shooting.
Samoilov soon followed the major's men over, and still followed him a long way away. He asked loudly: "Major Gladshev, what can I do for you?"
"Comrade Second Lieutenant," Major Gladshev said dissatisfied: "Come here and see if you know these people from the Guards Division. They dare to disobey my orders again and again!"
Samoilov came to the major, glanced at Sokov, immediately straightened his body regardless of the danger, and asked in surprise: "Comrade division commander, why are you here?"
"I came here after receiving a call from Comrade Commander." Sokov thought that he had sent Samoilov to escort the first battalion commander. There should be more than a dozen soldiers around him, but at this moment he was alone.
You can't even see it. Could it be that he was sacrificed? "Comrade Second Lieutenant, why are you alone and where are your subordinates?"
"They are all staying at the headquarters at the moment and are responsible for protecting the safety of the army leaders." Samoilov replied respectfully: "It was Major Gladshev who sent someone to find me, so I came to take a look.
Who on earth has such courage to dare to disobey orders on the battlefield?"
"Comrade Second Lieutenant!" Gladshev saw that Samoilov was respectful to Sokov and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Who is he?"
"This is our division commander, Colonel Sokov!" After Samoylov learned that the person Gradshev was talking about was actually Sokov, his attitude towards him became cold: "He was received by the commander
I just came here after receiving the order.”
