Chapter 60: in the middle

  Chapter 60 on the way

   Rokossovsky asked casually: "Lieutenant Sokov, do you have any more requests?"

  Lin Hua thought for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, I would like a batch of captured German military overcoats, preferably two hundred pieces. Is it possible?"

"German military overcoats?" Rokossovsky thought to himself when he heard what Lin Hua said. The German military overcoats are not as warm as the Soviet army's short leather coats. What does Sokov want two hundred military overcoats for? ? "What do you want these army coats for?"

   Lin Hua did not answer Rokossovsky's question. He was worried that the phone line was not safe and might be tapped by the German army. If the news leaked out, it would be difficult to carry out the next operation.

Seeing Lin Hua's delay in explaining why he wanted the German military coat, Rokossovsky realized that the other party might be worried about the unsafe phone line, so he did not continue to ask the reason, but said decisively: "Okay, I will immediately Send someone to send you the military uniform, I hope you can use this batch of supplies reasonably."

  Hearing that Rokossovsky agreed to allocate a batch of German uniforms to him, Lin Hua immediately felt more at ease. As long as he has these batches of military uniforms, it will be much more convenient for him to lead troops behind enemy lines. Because he solemnly assured Rokossovsky: "Don't worry, Comrade Commander. I will not let you down."

   After Rokossovsky sent a sled to Lin Hua and the others, he just wanted to go back to his headquarters, but unexpectedly received a call from Moscow. The phone call was made by Stalin himself. After revealing himself, he said bluntly to Rokossovsky: "Dovator's funeral is over. He was buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery. Rokossovs Comrade Ji, I hope you can seize the positions along the Lama River as soon as possible, and eliminate those Japanese invaders who brutally killed our commanders and fighters."

  As a cavalryman, Stalin has always had a special preference for cavalry commanders. The sacrifice of the young and promising cavalry commander, Major General Dovator, made him feel extremely sad. Rokossovsky understood Stalin's feelings very well, so as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately went on to say: "Comrade Stalin, I have some good news for you. We have successfully captured the German position on the Lama River." .”

   "The position has been taken down?" The news surprised Stalin. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What is the name of the commander of this unit? Tell me his name, and I will award him an honor!"

Rokossovsky immediately replied clearly: "Comrade Stalin, the unit that took the position is the Istrian company, the company commander is Mikhail Mikhailnovich Sokov, and the rank is lieutenant. It took only an hour for his troops to successfully take the position from the enemy."

After listening to Rokossovsky's narration, Stalin swung down his right hand holding the pipe and said approvingly: "Istralian is good, Lieutenant Sokov is also good!" When he said this, he suddenly paused for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "The surname Sokov is very familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere?"

Just when Rokossovsky wanted to explain to Stalin, Stalin had already said: "I used to have an old comrade-in-arms named Mikhail Ivanovich Sokov. I don't know what is the relationship with him? Relatives Or coincidentally have the same surname?"

"Comrade Stalin, Lieutenant Sokov is his son." Rokossovsky said to Stalin with a smile: "Due to his outstanding performance in battle, in less than a month, he became a Corporal promoted to lieutenant."

Knowing that Lieutenant Sokov is the son of his old comrade-in-arms, Stalin became a little emotional: "I think back then, old Misha saved my life on the battlefield. If he didn't die young, he should be now." General. Unexpectedly, his son is also so capable." He couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Xiaoxiao now?"

Rokossovsky knew that the millet killer Stalin asked was Lieutenant Sokov, and he quickly replied: "I sent Lieutenant Sokov to Karmanovo, where there is a German prisoner-of-war camp, and many prisoners were detained there. A commander of our army. His mission is to rescue these captured commanders and organize them to harass the rear of the German army and cooperate with the main force of our army to attack the city of Volokramsk."

   "If he can come back alive," Stalin told Rokossovsky on the phone, "let him be the battalion commander."

   Two hours later, a team of fifty sleds left Volokramsk and headed towards Karmanovo. Because the sled was not as bumpy as a truck when it was moving, soldiers after a fierce battle could lie on the sled and take a nap tightly wrapped in their military coats.

Assia and Lin Hua huddled together on the same sleigh, and Assia snuggled into Lin Hua's arms and said sadly: "Misha, the war is so cruel. In just one hour of fighting, even our Half of the casualties, I am really worried that you will be killed on the battlefield someday."

After going through a series of battles, Lin Hua is no longer as confident as he was when he first arrived in this time and space. He doesn't believe that the aura of his protagonist can help him block German bullets and shrapnel, so he no longer easily says "Yes." The bullet that killed me has not yet been produced" and other arrogant words. In order to relieve Asiya's sadness, he hugged her shoulders tightly and said affectionately: "Don't worry, Asiya, I will try my best to live until the end of the war. I still want to have **** with you." Children, every spring, our family can go to the wooden house in the suburban forest, plant vegetables in front of and behind the house, and plant tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots..."

   "There are also cabbage and potatoes." Assia couldn't help but add after hearing this.

"That's right, there are cabbage and potatoes." Lin Hua nodded, and continued: "In autumn, we will take the children to harvest vegetables. Except for keeping what we eat, the extra vegetables are... "He originally wanted to say that he would sell all the remaining vegetables in the market, but he suddenly thought that in this era, if he took things to sell in the market privately, he might be arrested as a speculator, so he hurriedly changed his words. Say, "Excess vegetables we can give to friends and neighbors."

  Lin Hua's longing for the future life made the troubles in Assia's heart lessened a lot. She stretched a hand through Lin Hua's armpit, patted Lin Hua's back against the pile of military uniforms, and asked curiously: "Misha, why do you bring so many German military uniforms? You know, if it wasn't for transportation With so many uniforms, we only need forty sledges at most, enough to carry everyone and the ammunition they carry with them."

  Lin Hua did not answer Assia's question, but instead asked, "Where is Corporal Ernst?" He thought to himself: On the way to the prisoner-of-war camp, he would definitely encounter the Germans. The only person in the company who understands German is Asia. If there is no Ernst, she can only negotiate with the Germans. This will easily lead to the failure of the plan.

What Lin Hua thought was that without Ernst, his plan might fail, but Asiya misunderstood him, pointed to the back, and said to him: "Ernst is on the sled behind. Mi Sha, don't worry, Corporal Pavel is with him and will never let him escape."
