  Chapter 1722

   "Comrade teacher!" Kryzhouf asked the teacher with doubts: "What's going on? Didn't we all be screened out? Why did you let us go back?"

"Comrade squad leader," the teacher raised his hand and patted Kryzhuv on the shoulder twice, and said to him with a smile: "Things have turned around. After General Sokov asked Marshal Zhukov for instructions, he is going to send you all to the hospital." Make it into his regiment leader. Come on, don’t dawdle, go back to the classroom and report quickly, don’t keep General Sokov waiting.”

  The teacher’s words made Kryzhłow feel that bread was falling from the sky, and he asked in an unbelievable tone: “Comrade teacher, General Sokov really wants us all to go back?”

"It's needless to say, of course it's all true." After the teacher said this, seeing that the students were still standing still, he urged: "I said comrades, just now you were crying and calling Join General Sokov's team. At this moment he agreed to let you join, why are you still standing here in a daze, don't hurry over!"

   This sentence was like an order to attack everyone. In an instant, students, whether they were standing in the hall or sitting on benches or sofas, rushed towards the door.

  All the other students left, but Kryzhuv and Vadim still stood still. Seeing this, the teacher asked strangely: "Comrade squad leader, everyone has gone back to the classroom. Why are you two still here?"

   "Comrade teacher," Kryzhouf replied with embarrassment when he heard the teacher's question, "I have a little conflict with General Sokov. I usually target him everywhere. I'm afraid he..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of." The instructor put his arms around Kryzhuv's shoulders, led him outside, and said, "Maybe General Sukov is not such a stingy person, you should follow me back to see Bar."

  When the two were about to reach the door, the teacher found Vadim still standing there, so he stopped and said displeasedly: "Captain Vadim, do you need General Sokov to invite you in person?"

   When Kryzhouf followed the teacher into the classroom, he met Sokov's eyes. Just when he was feeling flustered, Sokov had already greeted him: "Comrade squad leader, you are here! Everyone is waiting for you, hurry up and take your seat."

  Sokov's words warmed Kryzhov's heart. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Sokov's hand with both hands, and said gratefully: "General Sokov, thank you for giving me such an opportunity."

  Sokov smiled lightly and said, "Comrade squad leader, you are welcome to join my team. Take your seat quickly, I still have something to say to everyone."

After everyone was seated, Sokov faced many students and said: "Students, the reason why I called you all back is because I called Marshal Zhukov not long ago, and he suggested that I take all the students in the class together." All the trainees were incorporated into my team and formed a temporary headquarters, and rushed to the front line immediately to accumulate valuable command experience."

  Sokov explained his arrangement to all the students, and finally asked: "Who has any questions?"

   "Comrade General." As soon as Sokov finished speaking, a captain stood up and asked solemnly: "I would like to ask, which unit will our temporary headquarters be assigned to?"

  The question asked by the captain is also of concern to everyone. Everyone focused on Sokov and wanted to hear how he answered everyone.

"Students, the temporary headquarters you have formed is only going to the front to accumulate valuable command experience and strengthen the cohesion of the headquarters." Sokov did not immediately say which unit the temporary headquarters would go to, but Asked rhetorically, "Is it really important which army to go to?"

"Yes, Comrade General." Unexpectedly, the captain replied unexpectedly: "I think if we want our team to accumulate combat experience and increase team cohesion, we must go to the main combat units where the fighting is fierce. desired goal."

   "Then which unit do you want the interim headquarters to go to?" Sokov asked with a smile.

"I think you can go to General Rokossovsky's Belarusian Front, General Vatutin's First Ukrainian Front, and General Konev's Second Ukrainian Front." The captain seemed to have considered this matter a long time ago. When asked by Sokov, he answered unequivocally: "If you go to the Third and Fourth Ukrainian Fronts and the Baltic Coastal Front, the effect will be greatly reduced, because these troops are not responsible for the main direction of attack."

"Comrade cadet," interjected the instructor, hearing this, "no matter which unit is aimed at fighting the aggressors and driving them from our land, there is no primary or secondary The desired direction of attack."

  The captain still respected Christonia, the teacher. After hearing what he said, he obediently shut his mouth, and stopped arguing about what is the main direction of attack and what is the secondary direction.

Sokov did not get entangled in this matter, but announced in public: "From now on, you are a member of my interim headquarters, which is commanded by a three-member advisory group led by Major Ponejielin. Your work arrangements are up to them. Do you understand?"

  The classroom was quiet for a moment, and then voices answered one after another: "I understand!"

   Seeing that the students were willing to accept the command of Ponegerin, Sokov decided to be a hands-off shopkeeper, continue to study in the academy with peace of mind, and hand over all the affairs of the temporary headquarters to Ponegerin. Regarding which unit the interim headquarters will be assigned to, Sokov did not give a specific answer: "I have conveyed my request to Rokossovsky from Marshal Tozhukov. If all goes well, you will It will be assigned to the Belarusian Front."

   Knowing that the temporary headquarters will be placed in the Belarusian Front Army, except for a few students from the Ukrainian Front Army, everyone else is all smiling. Although their military ranks are not high, everyone knows how Rokossovsky grew from a commander of the mechanized army to a commander of the front army after the outbreak of the war. He even remembers the many battles he commanded . If the interim headquarters can reach his troops, the effect will undoubtedly be the most obvious.

  ...

  After the middle-level commander training course is over, the senior commander training course that Sokov will attend will have to wait another week before the class starts, so Sokov gets a week's vacation. The cadets who joined the interim headquarters stayed in the academy to receive training from Ponejerin.

Early in the morning, the dean came to Sokov's ward with several military doctors, and said with a smile on his face: "General Sokov, after several months of treatment, your injury has basically healed. I suggest you change it to another one." It is very helpful for your health to recover in a place where you can cultivate and get more exposure to the sun."

  Sokov heard the meaning of the dean's words, and asked quickly; "Comrade dean, do you mean that I can be discharged from the hospital?"

"Yes, Comrade General." The dean replied with a smile on his face: "Your current physical condition fully meets the criteria for discharge. You also know that our hospital is deep underground, and the ward cannot see sunlight all day long. This is very detrimental to your recovery. So you can leave the hospital and find a sunny place to recuperate, and I believe that you will be able to fully recover in a short time."

  The dean has helped Sokov complete the discharge procedures. As long as the things in the ward are packed, Sokov and Asiya can leave the hospital.

  After the dean left, Sokov suddenly thought of a key question: Where should he live after leaving the hospital? Although I have a house in Moscow, but I lent it to Tonya and Anne of the Lenin Street Military Hospital, I can't go there and drive others out, can I?

   "Assia," Sokov asked Assia with some embarrassment: "After we leave the hospital, can we go to your dormitory?"

  Asiya shook her head and said, "My dormitory is a room for two, and there is another nurse living with me. If we both live in, what should that roommate do?"

   "Then what should I do?" Sokov scratched the back of his head and said in embarrassment: "My house in Moscow has been lent to someone else, and I hurried over, and no one else can vacate a house for me."

  Asiya thought for a moment, and said to Sokov: "Misha, I think it's better to call Yakov and see if he can do anything."

   "That's a good idea." Sokov nodded and said, "Then you pack your things here, and I'll go outside and make a phone call."

  Sokov limped out of the ward, came to the nearby nurse's desk, and politely asked the nurse on duty: "Comrade nurse, can you make an outside line?"

  The nurse replied respectfully: "Comrade General, if you are calling in the city, there is no problem. But if you want to call the front line, you can only go to the dean's office."

   "There is no need to go to the dean's office." Sokov waved his hand and said, "I'll just call the Weaponry Department."

  With the help of the nurse, Sokov connected Yakov's office: "Hello, is this Yasha? I'm Sokov."

   "Misha!" Hearing Sokov's voice, Yakov seemed extremely excited: "I'm too busy these days, so I can't go to see you. I'll go to the hospital to see you again after a few days of busy work."

   "In a few days, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me in the hospital."

   "Ah?!" Yakov was taken aback by Sokov's words, and hurriedly asked, "Did something happen to you? Why can't I see you then?"

   "Because I'm going to be discharged from the hospital today." Sokov said with a smile, "If you come to the hospital in a few days, you won't be able to see me."

   "So that's what happened." Yakov asked tentatively, "Do you need me to pick you up in a car?"

   "If you can come to pick me up, of course it would be the best." Sokov continued: "But I called you because I have something to trouble you."

   "Misha, do you still use the word trouble between us? Tell me, what is it?"

"After Assia and I left the hospital, there was no place to go." Sokov explained to Yakov, "Yasha, you also know that the house assigned to me by the superior was delayed after being lent to others. It was not taken back. And Asiya, after being transferred back to Moscow, has been living in your dormitory..."

"Misha, you and Asiya will stay in the hospital and wait for me. I will pick you up in an hour." Unexpectedly, before Sokov could finish speaking, Yakov interrupted him: "Remember Stay, you can’t go anywhere until I arrive.”

   "Okay, Yasha." Since Yakov said so, Sokov couldn't refute, so he could only reluctantly agree: "I'll stay in the hospital and wait for you."

  As soon as Sokov returned to the ward, Assia couldn't wait to ask: "Misha, have you got through to Yakov?"

   "Yes, we got through."

"How did he say?"

   "He told us to wait for him at the hospital, and he will pick us up in an hour."

   "Then did he say how to settle us down?" Assia asked with luck.

   "No." Sokov shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything."

  Axia showed a disappointed expression on her face: "It seems that after leaving the hospital, we will be living on the streets."

Sokov was amused by her words: "Little fool, if I were just a little corporal when I first met you, after leaving the hospital, I might really sleep on the street. But don't forget, I am a general now, When did you see a general who didn't even have a place to live?"

"Oh, that's true." Hearing what Sokov said, Asiya became happy again: "You are a general now, even if you can't take back the rented house for a while, it shouldn't be a big problem to find a new place to live. .”

   "Is everything packed?"

   "Yes, everything is packed." Assia nodded and said, "We can leave the hospital when Yakov comes over."

   Pausing for a moment, Assia asked again: "Should we wait for Yakov in the ward, or wait for him at the door?"

"Assia, it's winter, and it's freezing outside. If we wait outside for Yakov, maybe he hasn't arrived yet, and both of us will be frozen." Sokov said decisively: "I see, Just stay in the ward and wait for him."

  Yakov said he would come in an hour, but the two of them waited for almost two hours before Yakov arrived late.

  Seeing Yakov's appearance, Sokov jokingly said, "Yasha, you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten me."

   "How is this possible." Yakov said apologetically, "Just as I was about to leave, a new job came. I will be late when I finish my work."

  Maybe in order to atone for the crime, Yakov lifted a large bag on the hospital bed, carried it on his shoulder, and said to the two: "Let's go, my car is parked at the gate of the hospital."

  The Sokov couple followed Yakov out of the hospital and got into the car parked at the hospital gate.

  After taking the co-pilot position, Yakov said to the driver: "Comrade driver, let's drive."

   Lubyanka is not far from Lenin Avenue, only a few minutes' drive.

  When Sokov saw a familiar building appearing on the side of the road, he couldn't help asking Yakov: "Yasha, are you going to take us to Lenin Avenue?"

   "Yes." Yakov half turned around and said to Sokov, "I'm just going to send you to Lenin Avenue."

   "Where are you going and what are you going to do?" Sokov asked curiously, "Did you help me take back the house?"

   "That's not true." Yakov shook his head and said, "You lent the house, and even if you want to take it back, you have to come forward in person. If I rush over rashly, no one will talk to me at all."
