Chapter 2840

"The 16th Army?" After hearing this, Jenna's face was filled with surprise: "But, like the 20th Army where I am, they were surrounded by the German army in the Viazima area. When did they break out?"

When Sokov heard Jenna say this, he was stunned at first, and then he realized that the other party's level was too low. He had no idea that before the outbreak of the Viazima Battle, Rokosovsky left the original 16th Army and went to Viazima to receive several infantry divisions that did not exist at all. As for what happened later, let alone an ordinary assistant military doctor like Jenna, I'm afraid he is a commander at the division commander level, and he doesn't know.

"Jenna." Since Sokov intends to turn Jenna and the remaining personnel of the field hospital into his own subordinates, there are naturally some things that you don't need to hide from each other: "I think you may have made one mistake. The 16th Army today and the 16th Army you know are completely different things."

This time it was Jenner's turn to be surprised: "Comrade Major, I don't understand what you mean."

"The reason is very simple." Sokov said lightly: "Long before our army fought with the German army in the Viazima area, General Rokosovsky received an order from the commander of the Western Front, General Konev, to hand over the command of the troops to General Yershakov, commander of the 20th Army. He took members of the Army Command to the Viazima area to receive several infantry divisions sent by his superiors..."

When Jenna heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Comrade Major, do you mean that the 16th Army is now composed of several infantry divisions received by General Rokosovsky in Viazima?"

"No, things are not what you think." Sokov corrected the other party and said, "Rokosovsky followed the order and rushed to Viazima with his command members, but found that there were no troops there. At that time, the German vanguard had already entered the city, so he had no choice but to leave the city. As for the 16th Army today, it was composed of the troops contained along the way."

Sokov did not tell Jenna in detail what troops are there in the 16th Army today. After all, the other party’s main job is to treat the wounded, so there is no need to know so much.

Everyone returned to the base of the infantry brigade, and Sokov took Jenna to the brigade command.

When Berkin saw Jenna following Sokov, he showed an unexpected expression on his face: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I wonder who this **** is?"

"Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, let me introduce you to you. This is an assistant military physician, Comrade Jenna. She is a field hospital from the 18th Infantry Division of the 20th Army." Sokov introduced the two: "Jenna, this is Lieutenant Colonel Belkin, and the next person is Lieutenant Colonel Karsokov."

When Jenna shook hands with Belkin and Karsokov respectively, she couldn't help but look at Sokov with a strange look, thinking that the deputy brigade commander and the chief of staff were both lieutenant colonels, why are you the brigade commander still major? This is a bit too strange, right?

"Deputy Brigade Commander and Chief of Staff." Sokov and others shook hands with the two, and said, "Our brigade has just been established. Not to mention a field hospital, there is not even a health team. After the soldiers were injured in the battle, if they were slightly injured, they can bandage the wounds themselves; the injured must be sent to the rear hospital for treatment. I am considering letting Jenna and the others stay and form our field hospital. I wonder what you mean by what you want?"

When Karsokov learned of Jenna's identity, he was wondering why Sokov brought an assistant military doctor to the brigade department? Is he trying to form a health team? When I learned that Sokov actually wanted to build a field hospital, I couldn't help but feel shocked. However, he felt that this was a good thing. In the future, the soldiers were injured in the battle and could receive timely treatment. He naturally would not object to such a good thing: "I agree with the brigade commander's opinion and the field hospital should be established as soon as possible."

Berkin naturally hoped to have a field hospital, but he considered the issue much more comprehensively than Karsokov. He looked at Jenna and asked, "Comrade Jenna, can you tell me how many medical staff are left in your field hospital now?"

"The field hospital was dispersed by the Germans during the transfer process." Jenna replied with a complicated expression: "So far, I am the only assistant military doctor and a dozen nurses left in the field hospital."

"Ah, that's just a few people?" Belkin asked disappointedly.

"Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, don't worry." Sokov said to Belkin with a smile: "We can apply to our superiors to send medical staff to us, or directly recruit doctors or nurses from local hospitals to enrich our field hospital."

"Comrade Brigade Commander, it would be better if things were so simple." When Belkin saw Sokov taking it for granted, he couldn't help but feel amused: "Now it is during the war, doctors have become a scarce resource. If you want to recruit medical staff from local hospitals to join the army, others can't think of it? If you don't believe it, you can go to the nearby town to see if you can find a doctor?"

"I remember there was a small town nearby. After dawn, I took Comrade Jenna to see if I could find a doctor."

"Gay Major," Jenna interrupted, "Didn't you say that you have a lot of medicines here? Some of the wounds have inflammation. Since there is no medicine, we can only use saline to clean the wounds. Some of the wounded people with weak constitutions have died because of the serious infection."

"Comrade Jenna, don't worry, we have medicine here." Belkin was a little excited when he heard Jenna say this. After comforting the other party, he came to the door of the tent, called a sentry and ordered, "Go and find the quarantine!"

After hearing what Belkin said, the sentry seemed a little hesitant: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, it's not dawn yet, and Comrade Quartermaster should be still sleeping."

"I know he is still sleeping, so you tell him that there is something important and let him rush to the brigade command immediately."

The sentry did not dare to refute, so he could only respond and then turn around and run to find the quarantine officer.

"Comrade Jenner," Belkin returned to the tent after the sentry left and said to Jenner: "I have ordered people to call the quartermaster. When he comes, what medicines do you need? Even if you speak to him, he will provide the medicines you need."

"Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, I am on behalf of the wounded, thank you." After saying this, Jenna did not salute Belkin, but bowed deeply.

Judging from Jenna's actions, Sokov guessed that she should not have been enlisted for a long time, otherwise when she expressed her gratitude to Belkin, she would not dissatisfied her salute, but chose to bow.

The quartermaster soon followed the sentry. After saluting Belkin, he asked nervously: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, what instructions do you have?"

"Comrade Quartermaster," Belkin pointed to Jenna standing next to him and said to the Quartermaster: "This is Comrade Jenna, an assistant military physician in the field hospital. There are many wounded people there to be treated, but the medicines are all used up. I called you here to ask you to provide them with medicines to treat the wounded."

After figuring out this, the expression on the quarantine's face became relaxed. He turned to Jenna and asked, "Assistant Military Doctor, I wonder what medicines do you need?"

"I'll give you a list." "Okay, I'll provide you with the medicines you need based on the list."

Just as Jenna was about to find paper and pen to write the list, Sokov raised his hand to stop her: "Assistant military doctor, don't have to be so troublesome. You are following the military officer to the place where you store the medicines. What medicines are needed, just find someone to move them away."

"Is this OK?"

"I said ok, that's fine." Sokov said to the quartermaster: "Quartermaster, why are you doing while standing there? Why don't you take your assistant military doctor to get medicine quickly? You know, some wounded people are seriously injured and need medicine to help you urgently."

"I'll go now." After saying this, the quarconian officer turned to Jenna and said, "Comrade Jenna, please come with me."

After the quarconian commander took Jenna out of the tent, Karsokov asked Sokov curiously: "Comrade Brigade Commander, aren't you taking your troops to sneak attack the enemy's camp tonight? Why are you back so soon?"

"Don't mention it." Sokov shook his head, came to the table, pointed to the map spread out above and said, "We went deep into the enemy's controlled area for nearly ten kilometers, but no enemy saw it. I don't know what's going on."

"Ah, is this kind of thing?" Belkin said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, no enemy was seen." Sokov said: "But we unexpectedly encountered a field hospital. I thought I wouldn't meet the enemy tonight, so I took them and the wounded back here."

"Comrade Brigade Commander, you can actually arrange some soldiers to **** the medical staff and wounded from field hospitals back, and the rest will continue to carry out the mission."

Sokov disagreed with Belkin's statement: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, I once had this idea, but I soon found it wouldn't work. Think about it, the German uniforms worn by our soldiers were all collected from the battlefield, and they basically had bullet holes and blood. If it was night, it could barely hide from the German eyes. But if the Germans saw a group of people covered with bullet holes and blood in their military uniforms during the day, it would definitely cause suspicion. Before we got closer, they might be able to see through their identities, so I decisively ordered them to return."

"The brigade commander is right to say this." Karsokov agreed with Sokov's approach: "Since it has been nearly ten kilometers deep into the German-controlled area, there are still no traces of the Germans, which means that there may be no Germans in this area."

Karsokov's words surprised both Sokov and Berkin.

Before Sokov could speak, Belkin had already asked his question first: "Comrade Chief of Staff, why did you say that there were no Germans in this area. Don't forget that we had fought with the Germans, and the first battalion even suffered heavy casualties."

"Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, you are right. We did fight with the enemy here, and the first battalion even made great sacrifices." Karsokov looked at Belkin and said, "But this fact does not conflict with the Germans evacuating this area."

Sokov suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "Comrade Chief of Staff, can you tell me your reasons?"

Karsokov nodded and continued, "The area we are in is not an important defensive zone. After the Germans failed to try to attack, they would give up here and choose important areas to attack. For example, the Borodino Heights on our left wing and Volokoramsk on the right. If you take either of these two places, you can become the capital for the Germans to brag about, indicating how important they have won in our country."

"Did the Germans just watch the existence of a military force here without asking?" Belkin asked dissatisfiedly.

Sokov had understood what Karsokov wanted to express at this moment, so he helped him answer Belkin's question: "I think I may understand the Chief of Staff. The Germans knew that there was a military force here, but they ignored us at all. That was because the Germans felt that we did not pose any threat to them."

"How is this possible?" Berkin was displeased when he heard Sokov say this: "If I were the German commander, how could I leave such a large enemy alone? You know, there are more than 4,000 people in this force. Once an attack on them is launched, it will definitely cause them a considerable loss."

"Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, I want to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?"

"If you were the brigade commander of the infantry brigade, before you received orders from your superiors, even if you saw a friendly army attacked by the enemy, would you take the initiative to lead the troops to attack and help the friendly army relieve the pressure you are under?"

Hearing Sokov's question, Belkin was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Theoretically, when I see a friendly army being attacked by the enemy, I will definitely send troops to reinforce. But the premise is that my superiors will not deal with me in any way because of my good intentions."

Sokov smiled: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, look, you know that friendly troops are in trouble, but you seem hesitant about whether to send troops to rescue them. I can be sure that if this happens, your final choice will definitely be to remain calm."

Belkin showed a smile that was even worse than crying: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I have no choice. If I don't get the order from my superiors, I will make a decision and attack the enemy. This is a risky thing. If the enemy is eliminated, the superiors may not say anything; but if the offense fails and the troops suffer huge losses, I think that at that time, the superiors will definitely hold the commander accountable."

"The Germans know that our commanders dare not make arbitrary decisions before they receive orders from their superiors. Even if the friendly and neighboring positions are about to be lost, as long as there is no order, they can only stand aside and stare at them." Sokov continued: "I think they should take this into consideration and dare to withdraw our frontal troops with confidence and boldness, concentrate their efforts to attack our friendly troops, and then encircle and annihilate us after we become lonely."

"The brigade commander's analysis is good," Karsokov nodded after Sokov finished speaking, "That's what I mean. The Germans feel that our existence does not pose a threat to them, so they can feel at ease and boldly withdraw our frontal forces."
