Chapter 525

Sidtorin walked forward, and shejerikov went back to the headquarters. As soon as the captain came in, he took the initiative to report to me and said, "Comrade division commander, I just went to the forest and looked at the barracks built by the fourth regiment."

I asked casually, "how many people can the barracks built by the fourth regiment hold?"

Shejerikov said with emotion: "Captain gedar's men are really not simple. In just one afternoon, they have completed all the barracks that should be built. At present, all the officers and men of the division have been living in the new barracks. "

"What?! All set up? " After a moment's absence, I looked around the headquarters again, and then said in disbelief, "Captain gelda's men are really talented. In such a short time, all the barracks have been built." I thought it would take ten days and a half months to build the barracks, but I didn't expect it would be completed in half a day.

Seeing that I kept looking at the headquarters where we were, xiejerikov realized that I was a little wrong. He coughed quickly and explained, "Comrade division, with such a strong headquarters, Captain Gerda has only built four, which is exactly the headquarters of our four regiments. As for the barracks where the soldiers live, they are much more humble. They can barely shelter themselves from the wind and rain. When they have a chance in the future, they can build better barracks for them. "

Hearing this, I muttered to myself that there would be no chance to rebuild the barracks for the soldiers. Maybe one day we would be transferred to other areas to fight. No matter how well the barracks were repaired, they would have to be abandoned. I turned the topic around and asked with concern, "Comrade captain, have you arranged the accommodation for the communication class and the guard class?"

"It's all arranged." The captain nodded his head and replied, "I put them in a temporary barracks to the west of the headquarters. Because there are no spare rooms, I have to let the soldiers of two classes live together." At this point, he stopped to observe my expression. Seeing that I didn't express my opinion on the mixed use of men and women, he went on to say, "Captain Gaidar has fully considered the problem of air defense when building the barracks. Even if the enemy's reconnaissance plane flies over the forest, it won't find our camp."

When I heard the men and women soldiers crowded in a barracks, although I didn't express any opinions, I was still worried about where I lived. To his surprise, Captain xiejerikov, who knew how to observe words and expressions, said in advance: "Comrade division, it seems that you can only spend the night in the headquarters tonight. But don't worry, I've got the soldiers ready for you. " With that, he turned to the outside and yelled, "come on, bring the bed in." With his shouts, two men came in carrying a wooden bed and put it down in the corner far away from the door.

After the two men left, xiejerikov said to me, "Comrade division, I have put two sentries at the door. No one can go in and out freely. You can rest assured and have a good sleep. In addition, I live in a tent not far from the headquarters. If you have anything to do, just shout and I will appear in front of you immediately. It's getting late. You'd better rest early. " With that, he raised his hand and left.

I watched the captain's back disappear from the door, and then I looked at razumeyeva, who was still sitting in front of the telephone with headphones. He went up to her and asked, "Comrade sergeant, nothing should happen at night. You'd better go back to the barracks and have a rest."

The sergeant took off his earphone, stood up and said to me, "according to the regulations, in order to ensure the smooth communication of the headquarters, the communication equipment used must be on duty 24 hours a day."

Since she had to be on duty, I didn't force her, just told her: "if there is anything, please wake me up at any time." With that, I went to the new bed, ready to go to bed.

Although I had said that, I didn't expect that it would become a prophecy. In the middle of the night, when I was sleepy, I felt that someone was shaking my body. I tried to open my eyes and saw that it was razumeyeva. I asked weakly, "Comrade sergeant, what's the matter?"

"Comrade division," razumeyeva said hastily, "general trakov is calling for you to speak to you."

I was startled to hear razumeyeva say that it was trekov who wanted to talk to me. My heart said that it was so late to find me. Was there any accident? It can't be that little sidtorin didn't go back to the headquarters with the team. Did trekov ask me for a crime?

As soon as I put on my headphones, I heard trakov's cold voice: "o'shanina, what you've done!"

In the silent night, trekov's voice was like a cold wind, which made me shiver.

I carefully explained to him, "Comrade commander, is it that sidtorin has not returned to the headquarters? You know, I asked the soldiers of the guard class to take him into the car. Didn't he want to go back to the headquarters and jump back on the way? "

"What are you talking about, sidtorin is by my side. I'm talking about other things. " There was a stern voice from the headphones.

"Comrade commander, what are you talking about? I really don't know. " I asked back with a guilty conscience. After asking this sentence, I kept muttering in my heart. I didn't seem to have done anything wrong. When I reported the counterattack plan to him before I went to bed, I was praised by him. How long did it take? Why did I get angry at me inexplicably?

"I ask you, what happened to the dozen deserters of your division?" Asked trekov, slapping the table.

"Deserter?! What deserter? Comrade commander, you have confused me. " I'm really at a loss. It took less than a day for the independent division to be established. How could there be deserters?

"Good! Good! Good!! You don't admit it "The deserters who were caught by the internal affairs department's overseers all admitted to being independent divisions," he said, gritting his teeth

"Comrade commander, I don't know anything about deserting soldiers if you don't say it." I said drily to the transmitter, "can you tell me what's going on?"

"Well, I'll tell you. Five minutes ago, the commander of the 70th division of the guards, Colonel lyudnikov, reported to me that the inspector general of the Ministry of internal affairs had found more than a dozen sneaky soldiers in his area. When he went up to stop them for examination, he found that they had no identification on them. When the soldiers of the Ministry of interior also executed them as deserters on the spot, several of them pushed down the soldiers around them and fled to the wilderness. The soldiers of the Ministry of interior shot decisively, killing two people on the spot and injuring five people. The rest of them were captured, but one escaped. "

"How did the interior know these deserters were from the independent division?"

"The gunfire alerted the patrol of the guard division. When they arrived, they joined the people of the interior department and escorted the remaining deserters back to the division headquarters of the guard division. When lyudnikov and the team leader interrogated them together, they voluntarily admitted that they were soldiers of the independent division. "

Trekov's words made me crazy. For this sudden accident, I was not prepared at all. I didn't know how to deal with such a crisis. However, after a moment of confusion, my mood stabilized and I said in a calm tone: "Comrade commander, I suggest you go to the division headquarters of the 70th division of Jinwei with me to find out what's going on. You know, after all, since the independent division has just been established, it is inevitable that there will be a mix of good and bad people, and that there will be a few people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. "

Listen to me. After a pause, trakov said, "well, since it's happened, it's no use complaining about you. But you will come to the headquarters of the group army immediately, and I will go to the orlovka area with you. " With that, trakov ended the call directly to show his extreme dissatisfaction.

I returned the headphones and the transmitter to razumeyeva, went to the door, and raised my voice in the distance, shouting, "Captain chejerikov! Captain chejerikov After two shouts, the captain must have heard me. I turned and went back to the room to get my submachine gun. I was ready to leave after the captain came to explain.

Captain xiejerikov, who was not dressed in a uniform and did not wear a military cap, rushed into the headquarters and asked nervously, "what instructions do you have, sir?"

I sat on the stool and said angrily, "Comrade captain, do you think it's good for me to wake you up in the middle of the night?" As soon as the words came out, I realized that my attitude towards the captain was too stiff. After all, it had nothing to do with him. I didn't need to be angry with him. So I took a deep breath, calmed down my mood, and said slowly, "there was an accident. The internal affairs department's supervision team caught more than ten deserters. After interrogation, they found that they were all soldiers of our division."

"Deserters?" When he heard the news, he had the same incredible expression on his face as I had. After a moment's confusion, he asked solemnly, "Comrade division commander, which regiment is the deserter?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know. I'm going to the headquarters of the group army immediately, and I'll go to the overseer's team with general trakov to find out what's going on. " Then I looked up at him and said, "Comrade captain, after I leave, you will be in charge of the division's work for the time being."

The captain nodded and said nothing to show his loyalty. Instead, he asked, "it's so late. Are you safe on your way to the group army headquarters alone? Otherwise, you'd better take the guard class With that, no matter whether I agree or not, I ran to the door and told the sentry a few words before returning to chat with me.

He asked me in detail what trikov said, and then analyzed it to me and said, "Comrade division, I think there may be some misunderstanding about deserting, but I can't figure out the specific reason in a hurry. I think you should get to know this matter as soon as possible after meeting with general trakov. If we go late and the people of the interior department shoot all these so-called deserters, then everything will be unclear. "

I was talking to sjerykov when a report came from the door. Shejerikov turned to the outside and yelled, "come on in, comrade Willa."

As soon as his voice fell, Vera, my monitor of the guard, appeared at the door armed. Shijerikov explained to me, "Comrade division, I asked the guard class to assemble. It's too late. It's not safe on the road. Let them accompany you to the headquarters of the group army. "

I didn't say anything. I picked up my submachine gun and went out. When I passed Willa, I gently took her shoulder and took her out.

Originally, I thought we had to walk to the 208 division headquarters to find the car. I didn't expect that as soon as I got to the edge of the forest, I saw a truck parked outside. I turned my head and pointed to the truck and asked Willa: "Willa, how can there be a car here?"

Vera looked in the direction of my finger and said, "Rita, you're talking about this truck! When the soldiers and I sent seedolin over, we saw that the car was out of order. The driver was repairing it. Maybe it has been repaired by now. "

"Vera, go and see if the driver is in?" I said to Vera, "if the driver is there, we can go to the headquarters instead of walking." Willa readily agreed and ran to and fro.

I saw her run to the cab of the truck, clapping her hand on the door, and asking aloud, "Hello, is there anyone in the car?"

As soon as she took a few shots, the car's glass was rolled down. The driver poked his head out of the window and asked unhappily, "Hey, female soldier, what are you yelling at in the middle of the night?"

"Comrade driver, we have an urgent matter to requisition your truck." Vera said solemnly.

Unexpectedly, the driver waved his hand and said, "no, no, don't disturb my sleep until dawn."

Seeing Willa hit the wall, I quickly walked over, looked up at the driver in the bridge, and said softly, "Comrade driver, I'm commander of the independent division, lieutenant commander o'shanina. We have something urgent to rush to the headquarters of the group army. Can we give you a lift?"

The driver saw that I was talking to him. He was so scared that he quickly pushed the door open and jumped down. He stood up and saluted me. I had to say a few words when I saluted, but I was too scared to say it.

I didn't pay attention to him. Instead, I waved my hand to the soldiers in the guard class behind me and ordered loudly, "guard class, listen to my command, all of you get on the bus." With that, I went around the front of the car, opened the front passenger's door and got on the car.

Seeing the driver standing under the car foolishly with his hands raised, I immediately yelled to him, "Hey, comrade driver, when are you going to stand there? Come on up, we are still waiting for you to drive."

The driver agreed and scrambled to get on. Because of nervousness, the truck started after several fires.

Our car passed through the 208 th division and was stopped by the soldiers who set up the checkpoint. Seeing the soldiers at the checkpoint coming towards our truck, I poked my head out of the window and just wanted to say something. Unexpectedly, the soldier who took the lead turned back and said, "move the roadblock!" With that, he stepped back and raised his hand to salute us.

For such a reasonable soldier, I felt good. I not only gave him a gift, but also said to him, "thank you!" Waiting for the bus to leave for a long time, I suddenly remembered that the soldier just now was a bit like the corporal who was pointed and scolded by me at the entrance of the village last time. It seems that I left a deep impression on him.

Although the truck was stopped by the checkpoint several times on the way to the headquarters, the soldier who came to check the ID saw that I was sitting in the bridge and didn't even look at the ID, so he waved to let me go.

When our car arrived at the group army headquarters, I saw a man anxiously walking up and down beside the jeep parked outside the headquarters. In the bright moonlight, I recognized trakov from his figure.

I asked the driver to stop the car, push the door open, get out of the car and run to trakov. Before I could speak, trakov had seen me. He looked at the truck behind me and asked, "your guard team is in the car."

I quickly nodded.

He waved to me and said, "get in the car. We'll start at once."

Seeing trakov get on the bus, I yelled to the truck driver, "follow our car." Then he turned and got on the jeep.

In addition to the driver and trakov, the co driver in the car is sidtorin, who was forced back by me a few hours ago. When he saw me get on the bus, he snorted heavily, turned his head aside and put on a posture of ignoring you.

After the car started, trakov sighed and said to me, "o'shanina, you're in big trouble. As the chief military officer, you are responsible for the deserters in the army. If the superior wants to investigate, you may be dismissed or demoted, or you may be sent to a military court. "

Listen to trikov said, my heart can not help but accelerate, did not expect a few deserters brought me so much trouble. I've been a teacher for less than a day. If I want to withdraw, I don't care. But it's less than a month since I got the rank of lieutenant commander again. If I'm demoted to major or lower, it won't be so easy to be promoted in the future.

Just when I was worried about gain and loss, I heard trekov say, "Hey, private sidtorin, you and lieutenant commander o'shanina are old acquaintances. How come you don't even say hello to each other?"

After being criticized by him, sidtorin reluctantly nodded to me and said in a low voice, "Hello, comrade commander, nice to see you."

I tried to squeeze a smile out of my face and smile at sidtorin. But before I said anything, sidtorin turned his head again and didn't see my smile which was worse than crying.

Trekov sighed again, leaned back and began to close his eyes. I looked out of the window and thought about how to deal with the deserters who brought me trouble when I arrived at the 70th division of Jinwei.

After driving for more than half an hour, the car finally arrived at its destination. Ryudnikov, who had been waiting there for a long time, warmly welcomed the three of us into the headquarters.

As soon as trakov sat in his seat, he couldn't wait to ask, "Colonel lyudnikov, where are the deserters?"

Lyudnikov said, please wait a moment. Then he picked up the phone on the desk, shook the handle a few times, and said in a low voice to the microphone: "Hello, comrade captain, general trakov, deputy commander of the group army, and lieutenant commander oshanina of the independent division are here. Please bring those deserters over. Thank you

Judging from the tone of lyudnikov's speech, I know that he is calling an officer in the Ministry of interior. Otherwise, could he, as a captain, have used such a polite tone to call a captain?

After a short time, a captain in a blue cap came in from the door. He came in and looked around. When he saw trakov sitting at the table, he did not salute, but nodded slightly. Then he turned aside and said to the outside, "bring up the deserters!"

At his command, four or five interior ministry soldiers with submachine guns and a dozen unarmed and dejected soldiers came in. One of the soldiers in the middle was obviously injured in his leg. With the help of two comrades in arms, he jumped in with one right foot.

When the soldiers stood in a row with their backs against the wall, the interior captain swaggered to the table and sat down. He asked trekov, who was sitting opposite him, "Comrade General, these are the deserters we captured. What are you going to do with them?"

Trikov gave him a scornful look. Instead of answering his question, he turned to me standing next to him and asked, "commander oshanina, what part of them are they and why do they want to be deserters?"

I nodded silently and came to the soldiers. Before I spoke, from their skinny bodies and their new military uniform, I could judge that they were soldiers of the independent division without hesitation.

After glancing at the twelve soldiers standing in front of me, I tried to ask in a flat tone, "which one of you can tell me which regiment of the independent division are you from?"

In silence, the twelve soldiers looked down at their feet, and no one looked up to answer my question.

For their silence, let me feel particularly indignant, I raised my voice and said angrily: "I am the independent division commander, commander o'xia Ningna, I ask you again, who can tell me, which regiment are you?"

Listening to my identification, the soldier with the injured leg in the middle raised his head and asked tentatively, "Comrade commander, you are really the division commander of the independent division."

"Yes." It was not easy to see someone answer my question, and my tone became stable again: "Comrade soldier, can you tell me which regiment you belong to and why you want to be a deserter?"

"Comrade division commander, we are not deserters!" Cried the wounded soldier.

"We are not deserters!" Then the two soldiers who supported him cried out.

"Comrade division, you are here. Only you can prove that we are not deserters."

"Comrade division commander, you can testify to us that we are not deserters, but come out to carry out orders..."

More than a dozen soldiers yelled at the same time, and the headquarters was in chaos. The soldiers guarding them all around yelled at them, "be quiet, be quiet, keep quiet for me!"

I raised my hands and pressed them down, and the cries of the soldiers stopped. When the headquarters calmed down again, it occurred to me that in the chaos just now, someone was shouting that they were not deserters, but came out to carry out the mission. Did captain Gaidar of the fourth regiment send them to spy on the enemy's situation in the residential areas, and they were mistaken by the people of the Ministry of interior for deserters? Thinking of this, I pointed at the wounded soldier and asked tentatively, "are you all from the fourth regiment?"

"Yes," the twelve replied neatly, "the chief is captain gedar."

Hearing that they said it was from the fourth regiment, I already understood that it was a misunderstanding, so I asked them clearly, "what are you going to do?" After asking, he turned his head to look at trakov sitting at the table. He looked at the captain of the internal affairs department with an iron face. I think he thought of the same thing as me.

The wounded soldier leaned his back against the wall and reported to me, "report, comrade division commander, we went to the enemy occupied residential areas for reconnaissance on the order of Captain Gerda, the commander. As a result, we met the interrogation of the Ministry of internal affairs on the way. Because we couldn't get out the documents, they said we were deserters, and they even shot us all. "

"Nonsense, it's nonsense!" Trikov clapped his hands and attacked the captain: "Comrade captain, this is what you call a deserter. You should know that they were ordered to carry out reconnaissance missions, but they were arrested by you as deserters. If they miss the plane, can you bear the responsibility? "

Without waiting for the captain to speak, he turned and scolded lyudnikov: "Comrade Colonel, I'm very disappointed with you. The Ministry of internal affairs said that they were deserters, and you did not personally interrogate them, but you reported to me that you had caught the deserters of the independent division. " Then he told him: "you should arrange your men immediately and take these soldiers to rest. If you have anything to do, wait until dawn."

When trakov was in the back, I pushed away the soldiers in charge of the interior department, went to the wounded soldiers, grabbed his collar and asked, "who are you building engineers?" The wounded soldier shook his head nervously and said incoherently: "Comrade division commander, there are no engineers here. The engineers are not here." When I heard that the engineer was not here, I was scared out in a cold sweat, because I heard that two people were shot and killed by the soldiers of the Ministry of interior. The engineer is not one of the dead. I bit my back teeth and asked fiercely, "where is the Engineer? You're not going to be shot, are you The wounded soldier shook his head again and said, "no, the engineer ran away in the confusion." When I heard that the engineer was safe and sound, I let go of the wounded soldiers and went back to trikov's side to ask him what to do next. Unexpectedly, the captain was arguing with him. He said to trikov reluctantly, "Comrade General, many deserters use this reason to deceive the patrol. Don't be cheated by them." Trikov stared at the captain in front of him, and said, "Comrade captain, I warn you not to talk. They are Scouts of the independent division. They are carrying out secret reconnaissance missions. Because of your mistakes, they not only destroyed their reconnaissance operations, but also caused unnecessary casualties. I'm going to sue you to your superior and ask him to take you to the military court. " The captain seemed a little guilty about trekov's threat, but he said, "if you want to sue your superiors, go ahead. I'm doing my job. " With that, he stood up and went to his subordinates and said loudly, "let's go!" Then he led the way out of the room.
