Chapter 321: misunderstanding

  Chapter 321 Misunderstandings released

  Belkin and Ozor followed the police second lieutenant into the director's office, and unexpectedly found Sokov and Asiya sitting inside.

  The director saw Belkin and Ozor coming in, and asked curiously: "Command commanders, what do you have to do?"

Belkin pointed to Sokov who was sitting opposite the director, and said: "I am Belkin, political commissar of the 73rd Infantry Brigade, and I am the brigade commander who came here specially to pick us up. Comrade director, I would like to ask, Why are you detaining him?"

  Sokov saw Belgin and Ozor appearing here, with a regular expression on his face, he asked a little unexpectedly: "Comrade Commissar, why are you here?"

   "Comrade Deputy Battalion Political Commissar." Before Belkin could answer Sokov's question, the director wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to explain to Belkin. "It's all a misunderstanding, and I'm apologizing to Comrade Lieutenant Colonel."

   "Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?" Belkin couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard what the director said, and asked back: "Your people arrested a lieutenant colonel here, but you told me it was a misunderstanding."

  When the director was about to continue explaining, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. After the director apologized to everyone, he picked up the microphone. Seeing that the director was busy answering the phone, Sokov said to Belkin: "Comrade Commissar, this is really a misunderstanding. The comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs found an ambulance attacked in the suburbs the day before yesterday. The driver, the wounded and the medical staff were all killed. Through investigation, they learned that the wounded in the car was a lieutenant colonel, and his military uniform and documents were missing. In addition, the female health worker who died in the car was also The military uniform was stripped off and the documents were taken away. Therefore, they initially suspected that the German spies who were about to sneak into Stalingrad to sabotage should be a man and a woman. The man was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel, and the woman was wearing the uniform of a female health worker. Based on this judgment, an investigation assistance notice was issued to the various police stations.”

Speaking of this, Sokov smiled wryly, and continued: "It just so happens that Assia and I happen to be wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel and the military uniform of a female health worker, which completely conforms to the announcement issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." standard, that’s why the civilian police lieutenant tried to force us back to the police station.”

   "So that's the case." Hearing Sokov's explanation, Belkin understood that the matter was purely an oolong, and the patrolling policemen of the 17th branch took Sokov and the others as German spies.

   After answering the phone, the chief of the police looked at Belgin and asked nervously: "Comrade deputy battalion political commissar, I heard that the branch has been surrounded by an army. Excuse me, did you bring the troops here?"

"That's right, I brought them here." Naturally, Belkin would not deny the question asked by the chief, and he said carelessly: "Now that I have figured out what's going on, I will immediately withdraw the troops. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we have caused comrades in your bureau."

  The director's complaints were blocked by Belkin's words. He smiled wryly and said: "Comrade deputy battalion-level political commissar, since you have figured out that this is a misunderstanding, please withdraw the troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, unnecessary trouble may be caused over time."

  Sokov knew very well in his heart that the trouble the director mentioned should mean that the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city were alarmed. If they gave Belkin a charge of mobilizing troops without authorization, Belkin would be in a lot of trouble. So he waited for the director to finish speaking, then he stood up and said, "Comrade director, don't worry, I will let the troops withdraw immediately. As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

"Don't worry, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." The director knew very well that although it was inappropriate for Belkin to lead troops to besiege the branch, the root cause was that his own people caused the trouble. He could only calm down and say: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs People here should already know about it, and I'll explain it to them if they ask."

   "Comrade Director," Sokov stretched out his hand to the Director, and said friendlyly, "Maybe one day in the future, the two of us will fight together. I hope that what happened today will not cause any estrangement between us."

   "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, we were at fault in this matter first." The director said with a smile on his face: "Now that the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, I believe it will not have any impact on our future cooperation."

  Probably to express his apology, the director personally sent Sokov and the others to the door. As soon as he got out of the gate, he was frightened into a cold sweat. He saw two trucks parked in front, each with an MG34 machine gun on the roof, and the black muzzles were pointing at the entrance of the branch office. He thought to himself, firing at such a short distance, even those wooden doors more than an inch thick would be easily pierced by bullets. Fortunately, this matter has been satisfactorily resolved, otherwise the consequences would be really serious.

  Sokov only knew that Belkin brought people to rescue him, but he didn't expect that he brought the entire guard company. The guard company is the best equipped unit in the whole brigade. Apart from a few MG34 machine guns, half of the soldiers are equipped with MP40 submachine guns. If they want to attack by force, there are only a few dozen policemen with little combat effectiveness in this branch , Even if there is a company of regular troops, it can't stop the attack of the guard company at all.

   "Comrade Commissar, thank you." Sokov said to Belkin in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to put on such a big posture in order to save me."

Belkin smiled faintly, and lowered his voice to Sokov: "If I hadn't ordered the four battalion commanders to stay, I'm afraid there would be more than just a guard company surrounding this sub-bureau. There might be two or three thousand people, or even more." Heavy weapons. But in that case, things may not end well.”

  Since Sokov has already come out, there is no need to put up such a formation, so Serezha stepped forward quickly and called the soldiers to withdraw. When the soldiers started to board the car, Seriosha personally opened the car door for Sokov and said respectfully, "Comrade Brigadier, please get in the car."

The director standing at the gate of the sub-bureau, looking at the convoy going away, raised his hand again to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and thought to himself: Thank God, fortunately, the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, otherwise with the dozens of people in my bureau, Can dozens of guns stop these wolves like tigers?

  The policeman standing guard next to him saw the director standing in a daze at the door, so he said cautiously: "Comrade director, what do we do if a fight really breaks out?"

"What should I do? What else can I do, of course, immediately raise your hand and surrender." Hearing this stupid question from his subordinates, the director said angrily, "You think you can block this gun with this broken gun in your hand? Is the army attacking?" After speaking, he snorted heavily, turned his head and walked back into the building.
