Red Moscow - #2364 - Chapter 2363:

Captain Feng is just Sokov’s adviser to the 49th Army. If he feels that the order issued by Melekhov is unreasonable, he can refuse to execute it. Therefore, after listening to Melehov’s words, he asked politely: “Comrade General, can you tell me the specific reason?”

“Comrade Captain,” Melekhov hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Captain Feng the truth: “An enemy force attacked our convoy transporting the wounded. Not only did it burn all the vehicles, it also killed all the people. The wounded and medical staff. You also know that our medical staff are basically girls. They suffered indescribable torture before being killed by the little devils who came forward to fight. The commander was very angry when he learned about this and said that these inhumane things should be punished. All the Japanese soldiers were flayed and cramped…”

After listening to Melekhov’s story, Captain Feng smiled bitterly and said: “Comrade General, the little devils are all inhuman beasts. If I catch these little devils who stand up to the army, I will definitely cut them to pieces. To avenge the wounded Soviet soldiers and medical staff who sacrificed their lives, and to avenge the Chinese soldiers and civilians who were killed by them. However, we don’t know which army this stand-up team belongs to, and even if we want to arrest them, we can’t do it.”

“Comrade Captain, we have already found out clearly that the support team that attacked the wounded convoy is affiliated with the 117th Division of the Kwantung Army.”

“Oh, the 117th Division?!” Captain Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard what Melekhov said, “Isn’t it the Kwantung Army that is fighting your troops? So, let’s catch the Japs from the Standing Team. The chances are still very high.”

“Comrade Captain, I haven’t finished what I just said.” Melehov quickly interrupted Captain Feng and explained to him: “Based on the traces left on the scene, we analyzed that the enemies of this team should have come from The 117th Regiment of the Kwantung Army reported the matter to Comrade Commander. He immediately gave us instructions. After the two captured Kwantung Army officers were tortured, the four prisoners were carried back to the 117th Division. Defense Zone, and issued an ultimatum to the other side to hand over the culprit, otherwise similar torture will be imposed on every captured Kwantung Army officer and soldier.”

After hearing this, Captain Feng did not ask what kind of torture was used. He was only concerned about the final result: “Comrade General, I wonder how the Kwantung Army responded?”

Melekhov took a sip of the tea on the table, and then said: “The division commander of the 117th Division, Suzuki Keihisa, quickly compromised with us when he saw the two Japanese officers who were sent back. The commander of the Standing Team, a major, was handed over and given full authority to us.”

Hearing this, Captain Feng asked cautiously: “Comrade General, I wonder what the relationship between you asking me to find the herdsmen and this major of the 117th Division’s Standing Team has to do with it?”

“Comrade Commander said that this little devil should be skinned and cramped to comfort the souls of our fallen soldiers. Since there was no one in the army who knew this skill, he ordered me to find the herdsmen who kill cattle all year round. Sheep, you should be more skilled in skinning skills.” After saying so many words in one breath, Melekhov was deeply afraid that Captain Feng would not be willing to take on this task, so he took the initiative and said: “Of course, if you think what Comrade Commander is doing is too cruel, You can choose not to accept this task, so that I can arrange for others to perform this task.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Melehov finished speaking, Captain Feng patted his chest and said: “Comrade General, I don’t think there is any need to find any herdsmen. After all, they slaughter cattle and sheep all year round, not living people. This matter Just leave it to me. I have a soldier under my command. He was a butcher before he joined the Anti-Japanese War. When it comes to killing pigs and sheep, he is definitely no worse than the herdsmen. What’s more important is that he has been on the battlefield and faced off against the Japs. After fighting, there are still two bullets left in his body that have not been taken out. If this task is given to him, I believe he will be happy.”

Melekhov originally thought that he would need to spend some time to convince Captain Feng, but he did not expect that the other party agreed so readily and even selected the candidates to carry out the mission, so that the words prepared in advance were completely useless. Useful place. He smiled and continued: “Comrade Captain, then I will leave this task to you. I hope your performance will satisfy Comrade Commander.”

 After arranging the task, Melekhov took the initiative to call Sokov and prepared to report the matter to him.

Unexpectedly, Sokov was not at the headquarters. The person who answered the phone was Yakov: “General Melekhov, have you found a suitable candidate?”

“Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff.” Melekhov replied truthfully: “Found it.”

“Are they the herdsmen found nearby?” Yakov then asked.

“No.” Melehov said: “It’s Captain Feng who came with you from Khabarovsk. He said that he had a famous soldier under his command. He was a butcher before joining the army. He killed pigs, slaughtered sheep and skinned them at home all year round. Cramp is very skilled, so I gave him this task.”

“Well, I understand.” In fact, Yakov always disagreed with Sokov’s approach, but due to the friendship between the two, he could not express his objection openly. After listening to Melekhov’s report, he said calmly: “When Misha comes back, I will report this matter to him.”

Shortly after Yakov finished the call, Sokov walked in from the outside. Seeing Yakov’s solemn expression, he asked curiously: “Yasha, what are you thinking about? Why are you looking so serious? “

“Misha.” Yakov looked up at Sokov and said in a serious tone: “General Melekhov called and said that he has found a suitable person to carry out the special order you issued. “

“The special order I gave?” Sokov was stunned for a moment when he heard what Yakov said. Then he understood what the other party was talking about, and said with a smile: “General Melekhov works very efficiently. Well, you found the right candidate so quickly?”

 “Who do you think he is going to ask to carry out this task?”

Sokov was not a roundworm in Melekhov’s belly. How could he guess who this task was given to, so he casually asked: “Who will carry out this task?”

“It’s Captain Feng and his men who followed us from Khabarovsk.” Yakov said with some displeasure: “I didn’t expect that Captain Feng heard that he was going to skin and cramp an officer of the Kwantung Army. So I took the initiative to take on this task.”

Sokov was not surprised at all when he learned that Captain Feng had taken over this task. However, seeing that Yakov was still somewhat resistant, he said tactfully: “Yasha, I think it is most appropriate for Captain Feng and others to carry out this task.”

“Why?” Yakov asked puzzledly: “I have dealt with Captain Feng several times, but this is the first time I have discovered that he is such a ruthless person.”

“Yasha, if you were in Captain Feng’s position, you wouldn’t say that.”

 “Why?” Yakov asked his question again.

“I have said many times that the little devils are not humans, but two-legged beasts. In fact, comparing them to beasts is an insult to beasts.” Sokov gritted his teeth and said: “They have occupied the Northeast for 14 years. I won’t say anything else, but I will tell you one thing I know. After the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance died, the little devil cut open his stomach to see if he was trapped in What did they eat when they were in the mountains? But after the stomach was cut open, they found that it was filled with dead grass, bark and cotton wool, and not even a grain of food. Although they said in publicity that they admired the commander-in-chief’s unyielding spirit, But he still cut off his head cruelly, put it in a glass bottle and sent it to various places for exhibition.

As for Captain Feng and the others, as subordinates of the commander-in-chief, if they have the opportunity to seek revenge, will they let it go easily? We only have a few soldiers from the International Brigade left here. If the entire International Brigade were here and asked them to carry out this **** and cruel task, they would never complain at all, because this is for A chance to avenge the thousands of dead Chinese soldiers and civilians. “

 After Sokov finished speaking, the room fell into silence. After an unknown amount of time, Lukin, who remained silent, said to Yakov: “Comrade Chief of Staff, I agree with Misha’s approach. To deal with the enemy, we must retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood. Moreover, not long ago, they owed He paid us a blood debt and executed this Japanese officer, which can also be regarded as avenging our sacrificed comrades.”

Lukin’s words convinced Yakov. He nodded and said: “Comrade Deputy Commander, what you said makes sense. I support Misha’s approach!”

Now that a suitable candidate has been found to deal with the prisoners, Sokov promptly changed the subject: “I just went to the headquarters of the 4th Guards Airborne Division and met with Commander Ye Liaoming. When he learned that he would be able to get it the morning after tomorrow, When a batch of transport planes arrived, he assured me that he would be able to successfully complete the aerial test jump mission…”

Before Sokov could finish speaking, Yakov interrupted him: “Misha, does Master Ye Liaoming have any specific plans?”

“He plans to equip every ten people with a senior airborne soldier.” Sokov said: “Commander Ye Liaoming said that these veterans can calm the emotions of the soldiers in the cabin after the plane takes off. And after the parachute jump begins, , the first to jump out of the cabin and set a demonstration for those soldiers who had not parachuted at high altitudes.”

“Well, that’s very thoughtful.” Lu Jin nodded and said, “We’ll just wait and see the result of the parachute jump later.”

 After dark, Yakov stayed on duty while Sokov and Lukin returned to their homes.

At midnight, the phone suddenly rang on the table, awakening Yakov who was lying on the cot in the corner. Before he could sit up, a staff officer sitting not far away had already rushed over and grabbed the phone on the table: “This is the headquarters, please tell me something!”

Unexpectedly, the staff officer only listened for a moment and then said to Yakov with a face full of shock: “Comrade Chief of Staff, the call came from the sentry outside the city. He said that someone wants to see you.”

“Someone wants to see me?” Yakov asked in surprise: “Who is it? Who wants to see me?”

The staff officer responded with a complicated expression: “She said her name is Sonia and she is your girlfriend.”

“Hell, I am a man who has been married for many years, where did I get a girlfriend?” After Yakov said this angrily, he suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively: “What was her name you just said?”

 “Sonia!” the staff officer said in a positive tone: “The sentry said that’s the name.”

“Sonia, hell, how could it be Sonia?” Yakov stood up and walked back and forth in the headquarters, muttering: “She is obviously in Khabarovsk, thousands of kilometers away from here, how come Maybe come to my place?”

“Comrade Chief of Staff.” Seeing Yakov pacing back and forth in the room, the staff officer asked tentatively: “I don’t know how I should reply to him?”

In order to figure out how this Sonia appeared here, Yakov stopped and thought for a moment, and then said: “Let the sentry send someone to bring that Sonia to me.”

“Okay.” The staff officer agreed, and then said into the microphone: “Comrade Chief of Staff has an order to send Sonia to the headquarters.”

While waiting for Sonia’s arrival, Yakov muttered to himself: “Who is this Sonia? Why does she appear in the Sauron area at this time? What is her intention? Also, Do you need to send someone to wake Misha up and tell him about this? After all, he knew Sonia earlier than me.”

Ten minutes later, a corporal, led by the staff, walked into the headquarters. He raised his hand in salute and reported to Yakov: “Comrade Chief of Staff, I have brought the person here, just outside. Let her Come in?”

“Wait a minute,” Yakov did not rush to let Sonia in, but asked the corporal: “Are you on duty at the checkpoint?”

“Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff, that’s what I called you.” When he said this, he turned to look at the staff officer next to him, and added: “If you don’t believe it, you can ask the commander, he should You can hear my voice.”

“Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff.” The staff officer next to him quickly said, “It was indeed him who made the call. I can recognize his voice.”

After confirming the identity of the other party, Yakov nodded and continued to ask: “Let me ask you, did the girl come on foot or by car?”

“Of course they came by car.” The corporal replied: “And there was more than one car, there were eight cars, all of which were rare ambulances!”

Hearing what the corporal said, Yakov couldn’t help but be startled: “What, that girl didn’t come alone?”

“Of course not,” the corporal said, shaking his head: “It was a whole convoy. It is said that it was a medical team sent to us by some superior, and the girl was just one of them. Since they did not have special passes, and they appeared at night. Checkpoint, so I didn’t allow them to pass. And the girl asked me if I was from the 53rd Army. When she learned that we were the 53rd Army’s defense area, she told me that she knew you and asked me to call you… “

Yakov noticed that the corporal was silent and seemed like a talker when he spoke. He quickly raised his hand to stop him: “Okay, comrade corporal, you don’t have to say anything. There is nothing for you to do here. You can go back first.” Yes. You did a good job tonight and faithfully performed your duties, which is worthy of praise.”

After the commended corporal left, Yakov told the staff officer: “Comrade staff officer, please call the girl named Sonia in first, and then find someone to arrange accommodation for the medical team.”
