Chapter 2388

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the news from the 214th Division made Sokov feel more at ease.

The caller was the division commander Colonel Oleg. He reported to Sokov emotionally: "Comrade Commander, after the medical staff sent from the Army Field Hospital arrived, they immediately started rescue work for the infected officers and soldiers, but at present So far, the situation has been brought under control and no new infections have been found."

"That's good, that's good." Sokov said with relief: "As long as there are no more infected people, it's great news. When the medical team sent by the front army headquarters arrives, your situation will become even more serious. It’s going in a good direction.”

"I hope no one will die." Oleg said with a bitter look on his face: "Seeing that the war is over, it would be an injustice if someone died of typhoid fever at this time."

"By the way, Colonel Oleg." In order to find out where the source of infection came from, Sokov specifically asked: "Where are the injured island women you rescued?"

"A total of four female wounded were rescued." Oleg said: "But two of them have died. Among the remaining two, one of them is also in very dangerous condition, and it is estimated that he will not be able to survive for long."

"Colonel Oleg, according to my judgment," after learning that two of the four injured island women rescued by the 214th Division actually died, and the other one was also in critical condition, he realized that the problem was not simple, and he quickly warned Oleg: "You ask medical staff to examine the dead island women to see if they carry typhoid virus. If so, burn the bodies on the spot immediately and dig deep pits to bury them to avoid causing more personnel in our army." Infection occurs."

"Okay, Comrade Commander." Regarding the order given by Sokov, Oleg did not dare to disobey and said quickly: "I understand, Comrade Commander, I will convey your intention to the medical team and let them They examined the bodies of dead island women to see if they carried typhoid virus."

As soon as Sokov put down the phone, he saw Chumakov walking in from the outside. He smiled and said to Lukin and Yakov: "The comrades of the film screening team are here. To celebrate this hard-won victory, they will There will be multiple movies shown for us.”

Sokov was not interested in the movies of this era at all. Firstly, most of the later generations had seen them, and secondly, the picture and sound quality of the movies were so poor that he couldn't accept them.So he just asked without interest: "What movie is playing?"

Chumakov replied without hesitation: "Lenin in October," "The Teacher" and "The Tractor Driver."

After hearing the name of the movie, Lu Jin turned around and said to Yakov with a smile: "Comrade Chief of Staff, tonight we can see the image of your father in the movie. Then you can take a good look. That actor plays like Not like your father."

After hearing this, Yakov laughed twice, and then said: "How should I say, I have had similar thoughts before, and I even asked my father about this."

When Lu Jin heard this, he immediately became interested: "I wonder what your father said?"

"When the actor played my father, he should have consulted a lot of information and watched many documentaries, so he had the basis to imitate my father." Yakov said: "But to be honest, although he tried hard to imitate, It’s never as good as the real person, so it can only be regarded as barely qualified.”

Sokov knew that Lukin and Yakov were talking about the movie "Lenin in October", which contained scenes of Stalin.However, he had seen this movie and "The Teacher" in later generations, but this was the first time he heard about the movie "Tractor Man", so he asked tentatively: "What is "Tractor Man" about? I think Never heard of it.”

Knowing that Sokov had not seen the movie "Tractor Man", Chumakov volunteered to introduce it to Sokov: "The female tractor driver Liana in "Tractor Man" won the award for her outstanding work. He gained the respect of the members of the collective farm and became the object of pursuit of the demobilized tank driver Kerim. Kerim and a demobilized comrade named Nazar came to the farm to work as tractor drivers. These energetic young people became They became the main force of collective farm labor production. A series of comedic and interesting entanglements occurred between them and the girls. In order to show off, the men's tractor team and the women's tractor team launched a labor competition. When the men's tractor team was about to lose, At this time, the timely addition of Kerim and others allowed the disadvantaged men's tractor team to achieve the final victory.

This film expresses the theme of protecting the fruits of labor, safeguarding a peaceful labor environment, and providing national defense education to the people.The creator used a vivid idea to praise how the demobilized soldiers brought discipline and skills to the fields of the collective farms, implying that tractor drivers can become tank drivers at any time, and to improve people's patriotic awareness through education. "

After listening to Chumakov's story, Sokov was wondering, could this film be specifically made about the Great Patriotic War?With this question, he asked tentatively: "I wonder which year this movie was shot?"

"This movie was released in 1939." Chumakov said: "Based on the shooting period, it should have been shot between 1938 and 1939."

"Not bad, not bad." Although this movie was released before the outbreak of the Patriotic War, Sokov felt that the educational significance of this movie was very important, so he nodded and said: "General Chumakov, these three movies The movie selection is good, allowing our officers and soldiers to receive necessary patriotic education while watching movies for entertainment."

Chumakov asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, when you watch a movie, do you prefer to sit in the front row or in the back?"

Before Sokov could speak, Yakov said first: "Needless to say, of course I sit in the front row. At least it won't affect the viewing effect because someone talks during the movie. Misha, We will sit in the front rows later, so we can not only see clearly, but even if someone talks, it will not affect us."

Sokov didn't want to watch these movies. After all, he came from a later generation and had very high requirements for the picture quality and sound of movies. However, the black and white movies of this era had mediocre effects and sounds, which made him want to complain after watching them.But since Yakov has agreed to this for himself, if he goes against the grain, Yakov will be unable to step down.He could only chuckle and agreed helplessly: "Okay, Yasha, I'll listen to you. Let's sit in the front rows."

It gets dark relatively late in the summer, almost ten o'clock, before it gets completely dark.

The commanders and soldiers who had been waiting impatiently at the screening venue couldn't help cheering when they saw the words and pictures appearing on the screen.

Since there were no televisions in this era, and the officers and soldiers were marching and fighting all year round, it was basically impossible to see the latest news.Therefore, before each movie is officially screened, a certain amount of time of news will be broadcast.Today is no exception.

Today's news mainly reports on the various results achieved on the battlefield by various fronts after the Far East Campaign began.When they heard the numbers of units one after another announced on the radio, the commanders and soldiers tensed up, fearing that they would miss the opportunity to hear the numbers of their own units by accident.

After broadcasting the numbers of more than a dozen units, everyone finally heard their own number: "...the 53rd Group Army commanded by General Sokov and Lieutenant General Lukin used airborne means to land in Fengtian, a large city behind the enemy. Successfully landed and quickly captured the city..."

When Sokov heard this piece of news, he couldn't help but smile at Yakov and said apologetically: "Yasha, I'm so sorry, your name didn't appear in the news."

Unexpectedly, Yakov just laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Misha, everyone knows that the troops commanded by Kutuzov repelled Napoleon's attack, but who can remember that Kutuzov's chief of staff was Who? Moreover, our army has always had a tradition of despising staff officers. Even if the chief of staff has made a great contribution, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see a trace in the history books in the future." Regarding Yakov's statement, Sokov was satisfied. Strongly Agree.Not to mention the Soviet army, even the United States and Germany also have such problems.Everyone knows about Patton, Eisenhower, Manstein, Rommel and Model, but probably only a few people know who their chief of staff was.

Yakov continued: "But when I wanted to be transferred from the Weapons and Equipment Department, the General Staff was the only place I could go. And someone said hello to me, even if I went to the front line, I could still do staff work. If I Being able to accept this situation will allow me to leave the weapons and equipment department and join the combat force. To tell you the truth, I was very hesitant at the time. After more than half a month of thinking, I finally made the decision and went to Cherny Marshal Yakhovsky’s [-]rd Belorussian Front, holding the position of deputy chief of staff.”

Hearing Yakov mention Chernyakhovsky, Sokov couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "In real history, Chernyakhovsky died before Germany surrendered. But now Because Yakov did not die, he saved Chernyakhovsky's life in disguise, and even allowed him to become a marshal as he wished. This time when he sent troops to the Far East, he was unexpectedly appointed as the commander of the Far East Headquarters. The deputy commander became Vasilevsky’s most effective deputy.”

Thinking of this, Sokov began to worry. Due to his appearance, a lot of history has been distorted. Many people who originally died in the Patriotic War are still alive today.He was worried about the consequences if these people continued to live.

The news soon ended and the main film began.

The first film was "Lenin in October". Although it was a black and white film, Sokov watched it at least twenty times in later generations, and he can be said to know the content inside.I remember clearly what scenes will appear after the connection and what the actors will say.

"Comrade Commander, where is Comrade Commander?" Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person appeared in front of the screen and shouted at the crowd watching the movie.

If it was someone else who shouted, he would have been scolded away by others.But it was Sokov he was looking for, and that was a different story.

Although the other person was facing the light, Sokov still recognized from his voice that the person calling him was Bezikov. He quickly stood up and said, "Major, I'm here." After that, he squeezed out of the crowd. Go and pull Bezikov aside so as not to disturb others watching the movie.

"Major," Sokov saw Yakov following him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have your phone number. It's Colonel Oleg."

"where?"

"It's at the temporary command headquarters."

Shortly after the surrender ceremony, Sokov arranged for the director of the communications force to connect the telephone line with the 49th Army, which would help him learn about the situation of the unit more quickly.At this moment, when he heard that Oleg called him, Sokov guessed that there might be something important, so he quickly walked towards the tent.

After walking into the tent and picking up the phone on the table, Sokov said into the phone: "Colonel Oleg? This is Sokov. Do you have anything to report to me?"

"Comrade Commander, the medical team has followed your order and conducted tests on the bodies of the three dead island women..."

"What, three?" Sokov said with some surprise: "So, the woman with more serious intelligence this afternoon was not able to hold on in the end?"

"Yes, she died just an hour ago."

"Oh, I understand." Sokov said, "Go on, what are the results of the test?"

"A large amount of typhoid virus was found on the bodies of the three of them." Oleg said cautiously: "After careful examination, the military doctor who led the team felt that our soldiers should have been infected by them."

Sokov had already expected such a result.Now when I heard Oleg talking about it, I couldn't help but frown slightly: "When was it detected?"

"Around five o'clock in the afternoon."

"What, around five o'clock in the afternoon?" Sokov couldn't help but get a little angry after hearing this: "The test results came out at five o'clock in the afternoon, why didn't you report it to me in time?"

Faced with Sokov's harsh words, Oleg replied in a panic: "Comrade Commander, please listen to my explanation. The first personnel to conduct tests were medical staff from the Army Field Hospital. However, their captain said that this The matter is of great importance and we must be cautious. Therefore, after getting the test results, he refused to let me report them, saying that he would have to wait for the more experienced military doctors at the front army field hospital to analyze the tests before he could report the test results."

Hearing what Oleg said, Sokov realized that he had wrongly blamed the other party. It was not that they did not report it, but out of responsible considerations. Only after repeated tests and seeing that the test results were the same, did he report the accurate results to himself. .

"Also," Oleg continued: "A large number of needle holes were found on the arm of one of the deceased. According to the military doctor's judgment, the typhoid virus she carried should have been deliberately injected."

Sokov was angry. Isn't this kind of thing just a human experiment by the Japs? Maybe these injured island women were injected with typhoid virus and deliberately placed among a bunch of Jaap soldiers and expats who were about to commit suicide, so that the people here could The movement attracted Soviet troops passing nearby.As long as someone brings back a woman carrying the virus, typhoid fever can spread on a large scale in a short period of time.

"Damn little devil, you are so vicious." Sokov covered the phone with his hand, turned to Yakov and asked: "Yasha, where is the native righteous husband?"
