Chapter 2869
Before the scouts sent by Major Vasha could send back the information, there was another rumbling sound of cannons outside.
Hearing the sudden sound of cannons, Sokov couldn't help but feel a sudden slight shock. He was worried that the Germans had just stopped the artillery and did not launch a ground attack, which was a conspiracy. It was to make the Soviet commanders and soldiers think that the artillery was over, and they all came out of their hiding place. After entering the combat post, another artillery fire attack could cause huge casualties to the defenders.
Thinking of this, he grabbed the phone and answered the command post of the Second Battalion, and couldn't wait to ask: "Captain Alexa, I am Sokov. Has the enemy fired the positions of your battalion again?" When asked this question, he secretly prayed in his heart that the commanders and fighters could quickly enter the anti-cannon hole to avoid the enemy's shelling, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties.
Unexpectedly, a strange voice came from the receiver: "Hello, comrade brigade commander, I am the deputy political battalion commander, and the battalion commander is not here."
"Not here?" Sokov asked displeasedly: "Where has he gone?"
"He went to inspect the position."
"What, I went to inspect the position. Didn't he know that the Germans were shelling your position? Isn't he going to die if he runs out like this?" Sokov said this in one breath and suddenly realized something was wrong. There was no violent explosion in the background of the phone. He couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "No, I don't seem to hear the sound of shells exploded there?"
"Yes, comrade comrade brigade commander, you are right. We are indeed not bombarded here." The deputy political battalion commander hesitated for a moment and continued: "When listening to the sound of cannons, the position of the Third Battalion should be the enemy's shelling."
"The Third Camp Position?" Sokov said casually, then put down the microphone.
At this moment, Karsokov happened to answer the phone with another telephone and reported to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, the Third Battalion Commander reported that the enemy suddenly launched a fierce shelling at their battalion's position. Now, except for a few observation posts on the position, the rest of the commanders and fighters have retreated into the anti-aircraft artillery holes."
After hearing the report, Sokov nodded, then looked down at the map spread on the table, thinking in his mind: After the Germans launched shelling the second battalion's position, they did not launch an attack. After a pause for a while, they suddenly launched shelling the third battalion's position. What exactly do they want to do?
Seeing Sokov lower his head and staring at the map, Karsokov guessed that the other party must be considering something important, so he asked tentatively: "Comrade Brigade Commander, what are you thinking?"
Sokov looked up at Hao Karsokov and said slowly: "The Germans first shelled the second battalion's position, but did not launch a ground attack, and then began to shell the third battalion's position. Tell me, what are their intentions?"
After hearing this, Karsokov shrugged and said disdainfully: "The Germans' intention is very obvious, they want to break through the defense line of our brigade."
"Comrade Chief of Staff, I know as much as you, that the Germans are trying to break through the defense line of my brigade." Sokov looked at Karsokov and asked, "But what is their purpose?"
"Yes, it's quite strange." Karsokov pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "If you only shell the positions of the Second and Third Battalions, but do not carry out ground attacks, no matter how many shells are wasted, it is impossible to break through the defense line of our brigade. This behavior of the Germans is really puzzling."
"I think we'd better wait." Belkin, who had never spoken, suddenly interrupted, "See if the Germans will launch a ground attack after the bombardment of the third battalion's positions are over."
"I agree with the deputy brigade commander's proposal." Karsokov echoed: "To understand the Germans' intentions, we can only wait until they have finished their shelling of the third battalion's positions, what actions will they take next?"
"Comrade Brigade Commander, Comrade Brigade Commander." A woman's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Is Comrade Brigade Commander inside?"
Sokov heard the voice of the head nurse Vera, so he said to Belkin and Karsokov: "It's the head nurse Vera, it must be about Corporal Chivaryg."
As he said that, Sokov walked to the door of the tent, raised his hand and lifted the curtain, and said to Vera who was standing outside, "Comrade Vera, I have been waiting for your news, come in quickly."
Vera walked into the tent and asked somewhat restrainedly: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I have not affected your work, right?"
"How can it affect it?" Sokov asked anxiously: "Have the surgery been completed?"
Vera nodded: "It's done. The operation is very successful. The bullets and shrapnel on her body were taken out, but the person has not woken up yet."
"Are you out of danger of life?"
"Not yet," Vera looked at Sokov and said, "this is why I came to find you."
Karsokov didn't understand what Vera meant and asked in wonder: "Comrade Nurse, the brigade commander is not a doctor, what's the use of you looking for him?"
"Deputy Brigade Commander and Chief of Staff, I'm leaving you with the responsibility here." Sokov naturally understood the purpose of Vera looking for him, so he said to Belkin and Karsokov: "I went to the field hospital with Comrade Vera and I will be back soon."
Vera followed Sokov out of the tent, and after coming to a place where no one was left, she asked Sokov carefully: "Comrade Brigade Commander, do you know the reason why I asked you?"
"Of course, of course I know." Sokov nodded and said in a positive tone: "The blood I provided played a huge role when I was treating Romanov last time. Now Corporal Chivaryg's life is in danger. I am afraid that only my blood transfusion can save his life."
"You are right. Now only if you give Corporal Chivaryg blood transfusions, he can survive." After Vera said this, a hesitant expression suddenly appeared on her face: "Comrade Brigade Commander, there is actually one more thing, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"If you have any, just say it."
"Although I want to come to you to give blood to Corporal Chivalryg, I can't make up my mind. After all, you are the brigade commander, how can you give blood to an ordinary soldier casually? Later, Doctor Tonia called me over and asked me to come to you. He also said that as long as you are willing to give blood, you will definitely let Corporal Chivalryg survive." After Vera said this, she might be worried that Sokov misunderstood something, so she quickly added: "After saving Comrade Romanlov last time, you told me not to tell others about this. I have always followed your order and have not mentioned this to anyone, but I don't know how Doctor Tonia knows it."
Seeing Vera looking nervous and trepidated, Sokov quickly comforted her and said, "Veira, I know it was not what you said. Donia is a military doctor. She suddenly found a serious injury. Her injuries were healed in a very short time. She would definitely feel strange. Later, she asked me to verify the matter. I saw that she had guessed the truth, so she did not hide it from her."
"So that's how it is." Vera raised her hand and patted her chest, and said with relief: "I thought I was talking in my sleep one day when I was sleeping, but I accidentally told this secret, and then I happened to be heard by Doctor Tonya."
The two of them came to the tent where Chivalryg lived. In addition to Chivalryg, there was a nurse sitting next to his stretcher. Seeing Sokov and Vera walking in, they quickly stood up and saluted: "Brig Commander, Chief Nurse, you are here!"
Vera nodded and then ordered the nurse: "You go and call Doctor Tonya, and then say that the brigade commander is here."
"Okay!" the nurse agreed and walked out of the tent quickly.
Sokov stood next to the stretcher, looking at Chivalryag lying on it, thinking in his heart that it was really the soldier in front of him. With all his comrades sacrificing, he blocked the crazy attack of a German battalion alone?
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Vera asked curiously when she saw Sokov staring at Chivaryg intently, "Why do you care so much about him?"
Sokov turned his head and looked at Vera, trying to squeeze out a smile on his face: "Comrade Vera, have you heard of what happened on the Fourth Camp's position yesterday?"
Hearing Sokov's question, Vera nodded quickly and replied, "Of course I know that one of the fourth battalions was killed except for one soldier under the crazy attack of the German army. But what is the name of the remaining soldier? By the way, it's called Spinachsky. It is said that he blocked a battalion of the German army by himself by his own strength. It's amazing. When I arranged for someone to take care of him, my nurses all rushed to sign up."
"In fact, not one person who survived on the position, but two."
"What, two people survived? Where is the other person besides Spinach Ski?" Vera had asked this question and immediately guessed the answer: "Comrade Brigade Commander, wouldn't you tell me that this Corporal Chivalryg is another survivor?"
"Yes, he is indeed another survivor." Sokov explained to Vera: "As for who was standing alone and blocking the German attacks again and again, I guess Chivalryag's may be bigger."
"Aren't the person who holds his position Spinach Ski?" Vera asked in confusion: "Why did it turn into Chivalryag again in a blink of an eye?"
"Because when the deputy brigade commander and the fourth battalion commander led people to clean the battlefield, only a living person, Spinach Ski, were found on the high ground, so they subjectively believed that the person who stood alone was Spinach Ski. And Corporal Chivaryg was blown away by the air waves of shell explosion during the battle and rolled down to the bottom of the high ground, so the soldiers did not find any trace of him when they cleaned the battlefield."
After Sokov's explanation, Vera immediately understood the causes and consequences: "Oh, so that's it. After Corporal Chivalryg wakes up, we can figure out who the hero who stands alone is."
Under the guidance of the nurse, Tonya hurried into the tent: "Misha, you are here!"
"Well, I'm here." Sokov raised his hand and looked at the time, then said to Tonia: "Tonia, I have a lot of things. Please hurry up and wait. After I'm done, I will return to the brigade command immediately."
"Don't worry, it's up to twenty minutes." Dongniya said, turning around and saying to the nurse who called her over: "Comrade Nurse, there's nothing you have to do with here, so you can go out first."
After the nurse left, Dongniya turned to Vera and said, "Comrade Nurse, I'll leave it to you to take responsibility for the blood draw."
"Okay." Vera agreed, bent down and picked up a medical bag placed next to the stretcher, opened it, took out the syringe from it, and asked Tonya again: "Comrade Military Doctor, I wonder how much blood did you plan to give the brigade commander?"
"100CC is enough." Dongniya urged: "Move quickly and try to get the injured to wake up early."
Soon, Donia waited for Vera to help Sokov draw blood and said, "Misha, you just finished drawing blood. Don't rush back. Sit down and rest for a while!"
Sokov nodded and asked at the busy Vera, "Where is Romanov now?"
"Where else can you be? Of course it was in the tent I went to last time." Vera said: "Comrade Brigade Commander, there are a lot of wounded people recently, and there are not enough tents. Do you think Comrade Romanlov should be discharged from the hospital early and make a seat for other wounded people?"
"Villa, you will call Romanlov over later. I will take him away when I go back." Sokov said with a smile: "My brigade command is short of staff. He can go and serve as a clerk to help me organize the war reports and so on."
"No problem. After finishing my work, I went over to call Comrade Romanlov."
A few minutes later, Vera turned and walked out of the tent.
Dongniya stared at the blood slowly decreasing in the blood bag and asked thoughtfully: "Misha, how long did he recover from the last time you gave Comrade Romanov?"
Sokov thought for a while and replied vaguely: "I think it will take about a few hours."
"How many hours?" Dongniya nodded slightly: "That's pretty fast, I just don't know how long it takes to wake up after a blood transfusion."
"Tonya, after Vera helped me draw blood last time, she used direct injections to Romanov, so the speed was relatively fast." Sokov looked at the blood bag hanging on the shelf and continued: "And Chivalryg is a blood transfusion, which may take longer."
After hearing Sokov said this, Tonya widened her eyes in surprise: "My God, after Vera drew blood, she actually injected Romanov directly. She was so brave that she was not afraid of killing anyone."
Sokov smiled faintly and said, "Romanlov's life was in danger at that time, and his life was hanging on the line. Vera also wanted to save people, so she could only take a risk."
After pausing for a moment, Sokov continued to ask: "Donia, you are the medical team for the front line. I wonder how long can you stay with us?"
Hearing Sokov's question, Tonya glanced at Sokov and said slowly: "When we came, our superiors told us that we would have to stay on the front line for about three months. But judging from the current situation, three months is far from enough."
"If you can stay, that's the best." Sokov told Tonya: "The field hospital in our brigade has just been established, and the medical staff is seriously lacking. Without your existence, many of the injured who are not seriously injured have to be transferred to the rear hospital for treatment."
