Chapter 2815 Strange Captive

Seeing Sokov remained silent, Berkin said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, in fact, our regiment was basically in full force when breaking through the siege."

Sokov, who was thinking, couldn't help but have an unexpected expression on his face when he heard Belkin say this: "But the 456th Regiment you brought back has a total strength of less than 400 people. What's going on? What's going on with you? Next, have you suffered huge losses?”

"Our regiment broke through the two blockade lines of the German army in succession, and only one-fifth of the casualties." Belkin said with a painful expression: "But when breaking through the last line of defense of the enemy, it was bombarded by enemy planes. The regiment command post was unfortunately destroyed by bombs dropped by enemy planes. More than 20 officers and soldiers, including the regiment commander and political commissar, died heroically. As the troops lost their unified command, they suddenly became amid the enemy's bombing. The chaos became more and although he finally successfully broke through the enemy's siege, the commanders and fighters in the regiment also suffered heavy casualties."

"Yes, Comrade Belkin." Sokov echoed: "If we lose air supremacy on the battlefield, then no matter how brave our officers and soldiers are, no matter how great their sacrifices are, it is probably difficult to achieve the final victory. .”

Afterwards Belkin asked, "Comrade Brigade Commander, do you think the headquarters won't let our brigade be involved in counterattacks, right?"

"It's totally possible."

Hearing Sokov said this, Belkin was a little anxious: "But, our brigade had just been formed, and there was not enough time to run in between the commander and the soldiers, and there was a lack of minimum tacit understanding. Weapons are mainly light weapons and are used for defense. It's barely enough; but if it is used for attack, even if the enemy does not send out the air force, we will be helpless in the face of the enemy's huge number of armored troops."

Sokov agrees with Belkin's statement very much. Although his troops have nearly 2,000 people, most of the commanders and fighters also have rich combat experience. However, if you do not equip enough heavy weapons, you will rashly launch a counterattack against the enemy, which is equivalent to letting the commanders and fighters die.

When Sokov began to meditate again, Belkin raised his own opinion: "Comrade Brigade Commander, if the German air threat is to be eliminated, can he send a force to attack the enemy's airport and destroy their planes?"

"This is unrealistic." Sokov interrupted Belkin without waiting for him to finish his words: "You know, the location of the enemy's airport is at least hundreds of kilometers away from the front. Don't say we don't know the enemy's enemy. Even if you know the specific location of the airport, how can you get there? You must know that the enemy must be strictly guarded against the airport. If there are fewer people, it will not be able to destroy the airport at all. If there are more people, it will not be able to cross the enemy's defense line at all. ”

"What should I do?" Belkin asked with a bitter face: "Is there really no way to deal with the enemy's air force?"

"I think the best way is to launch an attack at night." Sokov said thoughtfully: "When fighting at night, the enemy's pilots cannot distinguish the troops on the ground, thus causing the enemy to lose control and support."

After Sokov finished speaking, he called Morozova, who was sitting in front of the radio station, and told her, "Comrade Radio, immediately send a telegram to the Army Command, saying that if the troops were to avoid being attacked by enemy planes during the counterattack. The best way to bomb is to choose the attack time at night. In this way, not only will the enemy's plane not be used, but the role played by tanks and cannons will be greatly reduced."

When Morozova began to send a message to the Army Command, Berkin asked with some concern: "Comrade Brigade Commander, do you think the commander will agree with your suggestions?"

Sokov knew Rokosovsky's character very well and knew that he was a person who was good at doing things, so he said confidently: "I think the commander should not object."

As Sokov expected, after receiving the telegram from Sokov, Rokosovsky looked carefully twice, and finally nodded slowly, saying to Malining and others: "I think Sokov The major’s proposal is good. If we choose the time for counterattack at night, not only will the enemy’s planes be useless, but the threat to our army can be greatly reduced."

Malining heard his appreciation for Sokov from the tone of Rokosovsky's speech, and asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, why don't we call Major Sokov to the headquarters and carefully Ask him what his idea is?”

Rokosovsky readily agreed to Malining's proposal: "I think it's OK. Now we can only contact him through telegrams. Many things cannot be explained clearly in the telegram, so he called him over and asked in person. Ask him what he thinks, I think it's OK."

"Okay, I'll send him a telegram immediately and ask him to report to the headquarters after dawn."

A few minutes later, Sokov received a call back. After seeing the above content, he couldn't help but smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Belkin, it seems that the commander agreed with my proposal and sent me a telegram. Go to the headquarters after dawn.”

"Do you need to send someone to escort?" asked Belkin.

"I'll just have Captain Bobricov send a few guards to escort."

"Before you leave, do you need to send someone to the forest to check the enemy's casualties?"

Sokov knew that the first battalion of Belkin had destroyed the sneak attack on the enemy, so he nodded and said in a positive tone: "Of course. Since we have crushed the enemy's sneak attack plot, I must wait until I figure out the results of the battle. Only then can I go to the headquarters with confidence. In this way, even if the commander and the chief of staff ask about this, I can report it in detail to them."

Sokov lay down and went back to sleep, and he specifically reminded Belkin: "Lieutenant Colonel Belkin, I'll sleep for a while. If anything happens, wake me up immediately."

"Okay, comrade comrade commander." Belkin nodded: "If anything, I will wake you up immediately."

...

When the blue and white fish belly appeared on the side of the sky, Sokov was woken up by Belkin.

Sokov opened his eyes and saw Belkin standing in front of him with joy on his face. He guessed that the first battalion had achieved the results of the battle, so he asked quickly: "Lieutenant Colonel Belkin, the first battalion had achieved the results of the battle. Is it?”

"Yes, comrade comrade commander." Belkin nodded vigorously and replied in a positive tone: "Yes, Captain Ye Feim has counted the results."

"Let's talk about how many enemies we have eliminated."

"After counting, there were 37 enemies killed." Berkin replied excitedly: "In addition, a German lieutenant was captured, who should be the commander of this unit."

"What, I captured a German lieutenant?" Sokov was immediately excited after hearing this: "Where is that prisoner?"

"After I learned that I had captured a prisoner, I immediately asked the soldiers who reported the news to inform Ye Feim and asked him to send the person over." Belkin raised his hand and looked at the time, and then said, "I can't think of it for long. In time, you can see this German prisoner.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feim's voice came from outside the tent: "Report, can you come in?"

Hearing Ye Feim's voice, Belkin immediately rushed to the door of the tent, raised his hand and lifted up the curtain: "Captain Ye Feim, come in quickly."

The next moment, Captain Yefim stepped in and raised his hand to salute Sokov and Belkin.

Sokov did not raise his hand to return the salute, but asked urgently: "Comrade Captain, where are the prisoners you captured?" "It's outside the tent." Yefim asked Sokov for advice: "He needs to be brought in." Is it?”

"Wait for a moment." Sokov asked curiously: "Is that prisoner injured?"

Hearing Sokov's question, Ye Feim hesitated for a moment, then replied, "My warrior attacked him when he was arresting him. He should be considered injured."

Sokov frowned slightly: "Is your warrior attacking him because he resisted stubbornly?"

"No, when my subordinates found him, he did not resist, but took the initiative to surrender." Ye Feim explained awkwardly: "One of my subordinates, because of his friends' battle at night. He died, and therefore punched and kicked the prisoner. Although the other soldiers stopped him in time, they still injured the prisoner."

Sokov asked in confusion: "The battle ended a few hours ago, and the German lieutenant was not injured. Why didn't he escape but stay there waiting to be a prisoner?"

"Yes, it's quite strange." Belkin originally wanted Yefeim to bring the prisoners in, but soon thought of a key issue and immediately said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, we don't have it here. Those who know German cannot interrogate the prisoners. Are you going to the headquarters? How about taking him there?”

"I understand German and can interrogate the prisoners." After Sokov said this, he instructed Yefeim: "Comrade Captain, bring the prisoners in."

Soon, a German lieutenant who was beaten to the point of bruising and swollen, was escorted into the tent by two soldiers.

Sokov looked at the German lieutenant and asked in German with a blank expression: "Your name, rank and position?"

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"My name is Georg!" Unexpectedly, the German lieutenant said in skillful Russian: "I ask you to send me to a higher-level command center. I have important situations to report."

As soon as the German prisoner who claimed to be Georg spoke, everyone was stunned. He really didn't expect that he could speak fluent Russian.

Sokov did not immediately answer the other party, but turned to ask Ye Feim: "Comrade Captain, did you not immediately interrogate after you seized him?"

"No." Ye Feim shook his head in a hurry and explained, "There is no German in the camp, so he cannot be interrogated." At this point, Ye Feim glanced at Georg with a resentful look. He said viciously, "I didn't expect that he could speak Russian. If I had known it, I would have interrogated him."

After glanced at the men, Geog stayed on Belkin. He said politely: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I ask you to send me to your superior command force, preferably a group army. At the level, I have important information and I want to report to your senior commander.”

Belkin didn't expect Geog to treat himself as the supreme commander, so he could only point at Sokov with his hand and said a little embarrassedly: "This is our brigade commander. If you have anything to do, tell him. Bar."

Geog probably didn't expect that a lieutenant colonel would actually obey a major's command. But at this moment he didn't care about figuring out what was going on, but turned his eyes to Sokov and said sincerely: "Comrade Major, I beg you again to send me to your superior department. I have important importance. Report on the matter.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Sokov, waiting patiently for him to make a decision.

Sokov looked at the German lieutenant Georg in front of him, and quickly sorted out the information he obtained: this German lieutenant named Georg could speak skillful Russian; after being discovered by our soldiers, he not only did not do anything. Formal resistance, he took the initiative to surrender. It can be seen from this that this person has a certain possibility that he was an intelligence officer who invaded the German army.

Thinking of this, he walked to the door of the tent and said to a sentry standing outside, "Go and call Bobricov over."

The sentry agreed and turned around and ran to find Bobricov.

Not long after, Bobricov walked in from outside the tent: "Comrade Brigade Commander, what instructions do you have?"

Geog heard Bobricov's name for Sokov and raised his eyebrows. He thought to himself that he really didn't expect that a small major was actually a brigade commander, and usually his position was not a lieutenant colonel or a colonel. Is it?

"Captain Bobricov," Sokov said not to Geog's expression change, but to Bobricov: "I have something to do and need to rush to the Army Command as soon as possible, and you can choose one for me. The soldiers of the guard squad prepared two more trucks. In addition to escorting me to the headquarters," he said this, and he deliberately glanced at Georg and continued, "There is also this prisoner who will also be sent over. ”

"Yes, comrade comrade in brigade commander." Bobricov agreed, turned around and walked out of the tent, arranged for manpower and vehicles.

"Entrepreneur Geog," Sokov said to Geog, "Although I don't know what your true identity is, I will send you to the Army Command and hand it over to a special person."

"That's great." Hearing Sokov say this, Georg immediately smiled and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

More than ten minutes later, two trucks with tarp set off.

Sokov and Bobricov were crowded in the bridge of the first car, while Geog was sitting in the carriage of the second car, next to them, staring at him vigilantly to prevent him from What conspiracy?

On the way, Bobricov asked Sokov tentatively: "Comrade Brigade Commander, how did that German prisoner be caught?"

Although Sokov guessed that Georg might be an intelligence officer, he did not tell Bobricov about this, but said casually: "Captain Yefeim told me that it was his soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield. I caught it at the time.”

"Then what do we take him to the headquarters?"

"What else can be done? Of course, it is handed over to the enemy workforce personnel in the headquarters to see if they can obtain useful information for our army from his mouth." In order to prevent Bobricov from asking questions again, Sokov interrupted his later words: "By the way, can the people you sent to see him? Don't let him run away."

Bobricov's attention was indeed diverted by Sokov's words: "Don't worry, comrade comrade commander. All three of my sent are very reliable. It is impossible for the captive to escape from them. of."
