Chapter 1009

When I came back from the secret base, I became a forgotten person. Except for the doctor Sergey who came to the ward every day, the nurses who took eye drops, and the guards who stood guard outside the door, no one else appeared in my ward.

After almost a week, not only krochkov didn't come, but even bezikov, who is closest to me, didn't see any trace. What's the meaning of this? In the face of this abnormal situation, I can't help thinking about it. I pondered and pondered in my heart. I recalled every word I said with Ustinov in the base that day. I found that I didn't say anything wrong. I should not fall into the fate of being snowed. Why didn't anyone come to see me?

Just as I was about to fall into despair, there was a sound of footstep at the door. It was bezikov who came, and the thought came to me immediately. Then I lifted myself up with my elbow and looked eagerly at the door.

After I saw the people at the door, I sighed in my heart and lay down again in disappointment. Then I asked casually, "what's the matter, Dean osimin?"

Osiminin came up to me, leaned down and said respectfully, "Comrade General, after this period of treatment, doctor Sergei and I agree that you can be discharged. What do you mean? "

When I heard that I could be discharged from the hospital, I cried "thank God" in my heart. My heart said that if I lie down in bed like this, my people will soon fall apart. Flurried to sit up, nervously asked: "Comrade president, do not know what I can do discharge procedures?"

"General, if you like, you can go through the discharge procedures at any time," osimin said with a smile With these words, he explained to me, "if the beds in the inpatient department are not very tight recently, and even the corridor is full of patients, you can stay here for another period of time."

I found out about the shortage of beds in the inpatient department for a long time. I wanted to rest for another two days and ask when I can leave the hospital after my eyesight has completely recovered. Now that osimin has taken the initiative to put forward this matter, I will naturally say, "I'll arrange someone to help me go through the discharge procedures." With that, I called Yushchenko's name out loud.

When Yushchenko came in, I immediately told him, "Comrade captain, you will follow Comrade president to the office later and help me go through the discharge procedures."

"Thank you, comrade oshanina. By the way, I think I need to remind you that although your wound has completely healed now, it's better not to do strenuous exercise within three months. "

"I remember, comrade president." As I was in a hurry to leave the place where I had been staying for more than half a month, I hastily urged Yushchenko after finishing this sentence with osimin: "Comrade captain, it's getting late. I'll go with Comrade president quickly to finish my discharge procedures."

After Yushchenko and osiminin left, I worried about where to stay after I was discharged. If I'm ok, I can brazenly go to Zhukov and ask him to arrange a place for me to stay. But now there are eight security personnel besides me, so the accommodation arrangement is not so convenient.

When I was worried, I heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the door. My heart says that Yushchenko's action is quite sharp. He came back so soon after finishing the formalities. As I was packing, I asked without looking back, "are all the procedures completed?"

"Procedure, what procedure?" When the new comer heard my question, he couldn't help but ask back.

Hearing the familiar voice of bezikov, I couldn't help but feel happy. It seems that Zhukov still hasn't forgotten me, and finally sent bezikov to find me. This time, there must be some important task. Thinking of this, I stood up straight, turned around and asked bzikov with a smile, "Comrade Colonel, long time no see. How are you doing?"

When bezikov saw my officer on the bed, he asked tentatively, "are you going to leave the hospital?"

"Yes." I nodded and gave him a positive answer: "President osimin has just been here. He said that my eye wound has almost recovered. I can leave hospital and go home for rest."

Berzikov looked at the door and asked, "where are you going?"

I was worried about where I would go next. When he asked me this, I immediately followed him and said, "Captain, even if you don't ask about it, I'm going to ask you for help. You see, eight or nine of us can't sleep on the street. "

"Sleeping out on the street?" After listening to what I said, bzikov could not help laughing and said, "hell, you are a general now. Who has the right to let you and your department sleep on the street at your level. Don't worry. I'll arrange the accommodation for you later. "

Now that the accommodation has been settled, the stone in my heart has fallen to the ground. It's not like you're here to talk about the past with me when you see bzikov in such a hurry. There should be some important task. So, after a moment's silence, I asked, "Captain, you're here today. What's the matter with you?"

"Well, it's not for the current situation." Bezikov sat down on my bed, looked up at me and said, "after defeating our southwest front and Voronezh front, the German army concentrated its superior forces and pressed over Kiev."

I heard that the situation in Kiev is not optimistic. I can't help worrying about my old subordinates who stay there: "Colonel, what's the situation there? Can we withstand the German offensive?"

Bezikov shook his head slowly and said, "the situation is not optimistic. Although we have two tanks, one infantry and three infantry divisions there, we are still at a disadvantage compared with the German forces. Moreover, the German army has much more tanks, artillery and air supremacy in the battlefield than ours. In my analysis, it's a miracle that general rebalko can stay there for a week. "

"What will the marshal do?" Thinking of rebalko, if they were encircled, they would only be captured or killed, so I couldn't wait to ask, "is he going to send reinforcements, or will general rebalko withdraw from Kiev before the enemy's encirclement is formed?"

"Withdraw from Kiev?" After listening to what I said, bzikov gave me a strange look and said to himself, "according to the intention of the superior, no matter how much sacrifice you make, you can't easily give up Kiev. A few days ago, the troops transferred from rokosovsky's central front army were bombed and blocked by the German army on their way to Kiev. After a few days of fierce fighting, they had to retreat back to the starting point of the attack. "

After listening to bzikov's words, my heart sank suddenly, worrying about the fate of tens of thousands of troops left near Kiev. At the beginning of the patriotic war in Kiev, more than 600000 Soviet soldiers were captured by the German army. Now we have only tens of thousands of them. It's not easy to resist the fierce attack of 200000 German troops.

After a long time, I said in a heavy voice: "Colonel, general rebalko, they are short of enough supplies. Once they are surrounded by the German army, they will soon run out of ammunition and food. Even if the German army does not attack, hunger can make them lose their fighting capacity."

As to what I said, bzikov nodded and said with approval, "you're right, Rita. At that time, hundreds of thousands of people did not wait to block the enemy who rushed to Kiev. They wanted to let general rebalko's tens of thousands of people block the enemy's attack and firmly hold Kiev, unless there was a miracle. "

As we were talking, Youxian Kexing came in from the outside in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he said to me in a loud voice, "Comrade General, the discharge procedures have been completed. Can we start?" After speaking, he found that there was still bezikov in the room. He came to attention and said hello to bezikov.

Seeing Yushchenko coming back, bzikov stood up, straightened his belt around his waist, and then said to me, "all right, Rita, comrade captain is back. Let's go now. "

"I don't know where to go, Colonel?" Yushchenko asked blankly.

"Zhukov asked me to find you some vacant houses near his headquarters, and then you will live there." After that, he said to me, who was still in the hospital uniform, "Rita, please change your clothes as soon as possible. Captain Yushchenko and I are waiting for you outside." With that, he took Yushchenko and went out. At the same time, he did not forget to take the door with him.

The house that bizikov arranged for us is on the same street as Zhukov's headquarters. We can get there in seven or eight minutes' walk at most. When arranging rooms for us, bezikov specially introduced to me: "almost all the residents in this street evacuated to the rear when the German troops were approaching Moscow. And after our headquarters moved here, for the need of work, they temporarily requisitioned all the vacant houses here to accommodate our commanders and fighters. "

"Colonel," seeing that bezikov had arranged everything, he had plans to leave. I stopped him and asked, "what can I do to see Marshal?"

Bezikov raised his hand and looked at his watch. Then he said, "you have a rest here. I'll go back and ask the marshal to see when he can meet you." With that, he nodded at me and went out.

Seeing bezikov's back, Yushchenko came up to me and asked in a low voice, "Comrade General, the place where I live has been settled. What can I do with the food?"

"Food?" I looked at Yushchenko and said, "if you want something to eat, you can buy it on the street by yourself. You don't need to ask me for instructions."

When I said that, Yushchenko's face was embarrassed. He murmured to me: "Comrade General, you don't know something. When you were in hospital, we were all touched by your light and ate hospital food. But now that we have left the hospital, we need to find a new place to eat. We need to know that the city now implements a rationing system. Without the rationing certificate issued by the city, even if you have money, you can't buy things. "

When he finished speaking, I immediately understood the reason for his dilemma. But in the current situation, I can't solve the problem of ration cards for them. I can only wait for bzikov to come back later and let him think about something.

Seeing Yushchenko still standing in front of me waiting for my reply, I waved to him and said, "Captain, take your men to clean the room first. As for the ration card, when Colonel bzikov comes back, I will ask him to help us solve this problem."

It's easy to say, but I'm worried. After all, there are very strict regulations for the issuance of ration cards. Even with the help of bezikov, it's not easy to get enough ration cards. In the afternoon, as soon as bizikov appeared, I immediately took him and told him about our lack of ration card. After hearing this, he was silent for a moment and said, "Rita, at present, the management of ration cards is very strict in the city. Even if I go out and the other party doesn't see me, you can give me two more ration cards. Now you have 89 people. It's impossible for you to have one each." When I listened to him like this, my face suddenly showed a look of worry. If there is no ration certificate and I can't buy things with money, then my subordinates may starve to death? He was going to ask biezikov to help us think about something. Unexpectedly, he said, "well, I'll get you three ration cards so that you can get the necessary food. As for the rest of the people's rations, I can send someone to send you some. " Although it's hard to be satisfied with such an arrangement of bezikov, I know in my heart that this is the greatest help he can provide for us in my face. On behalf of all the people, I'd like to express my thanks to him. As soon as I finished speaking, he took my sleeve and walked out. At the same time, he said, "come on, Rita, let me go to the headquarters. The marshal is waiting for you there." Yushchenko was the only one who left the room with us. The rest of the soldiers stayed at home to clean up. On the way, bzikov said to me with a worried face: "Rita, the situation in Kiev is worse than we thought. According to the latest information, the material transportation line between us and them has been cut off by the Germans. In two days, they will be out of food completely. Comrade Marshal asked me to call you over to see if you have any good ideas. " I couldn't help laughing bitterly at what bzikov said. My heart said that I was not an immortal. The army was besieged by the German army. A famous general like Zhukov couldn't do anything. What can I do? Bezikov led me into Zhukov's office, walked to Zhukov, who was looking at the map. He straightened up and said, "marshal, I have brought general oshanina."
