After Gavrilov rested for the night in the room arranged by Rokossovsky, early the next morning, he asked someone to find Okorokov and said to him: "Comrade General, I would like to meet Marshal Rokossovsky, I wonder if you can arrange it for me?" ”

"What, you want to see the marshal?" Gavrilov's request made Okorokov feel very embarrassed, now that the battle is at a critical juncture, Rokossovsky has so many things to do every day, where does he have time to meet a prisoner of war who has just been rescued, even if this prisoner of war is something he appreciates, I am afraid it is not something he can see if he wants to see it.

Okorokov hesitated for a moment, then said euphemistically: "Major Gavrilov, Comrade Marshal is too busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to see you." If you have anything, you can tell me, and I will convey it to Comrade Marshal. ”

"Comrade General," although he was rejected by Okorokov, Gavrilov did not have any bad thoughts, he knew that Rokossovsky, as a marshal, was commanding such an important battle, and he would definitely not have time to meet an unknown junior like himself, and the reason why he made a request to Okorokov was just a fluke, hoping to see Rokossovsky again. Now seeing that his wish cannot be fulfilled, he can only retreat to the next thing, hoping to get Okorokov's help: "My wife's name is Catherine?? Grigorievna, and an adopted son, Kolya. Early in the morning of the outbreak of the war, I let them hide in the basement and went to the fortress alone. I have not had their whereabouts for so many years, and I would like to ask you to inquire whether they died in the defense of the fortress or, like the families of other commanders, were killed by the Germans in Zabinka. ”

"That's what happened." After Okorokov figured out why Gavrilov wanted to see Rokossovsky, he nodded and said: "Comrade Major, I will report this matter to Comrade Marshal at the appropriate time, and I will send someone to help you inquire about the whereabouts of your family." Rest assured, it won't be long before you get the answers you want. ”

Having received Okorokov's promise, Gavrilov couldn't help but be overjoyed, quickly reached out and shook Okorokov's hand, shook it vigorously and said: "Thank you, Comrade General!" I will never forget your great kindness. ”

However, before Okorokov could find a suitable opportunity, Rokossovsky took Subotin to visit Gavrilov again. Seeing the sudden appearance of the marshal, Gavrilov was so surprised that he spoke a little incoherently: "You... Hello, Meta... Marshal with... Comrade, very... Glad to meet... See you. ”

"Major Gavrilov," Rokossovsky took the initiative to extend his hand to Gavrilov and asked with concern: "Did you rest well yesterday?" ”

"Very good, Comrade Marshal." Gavrilov replied: "For the first time since the outbreak of the war, I have slept peacefully in such a bright, warm and quiet room, in a bed covered with clean sheets, without being whipped by the German guards and not hearing the cursing of the German guards......"

Hearing Gavrilov say this, Rokossovsky's nose couldn't help but sour for a while, and he regretted a little in his heart, when he led his troops to the Brest Fortress, if he could stay for half an hour longer, maybe he would change the fate of more people, so he attached so much importance to Gavrilov, hoping that he could compensate him.

After Gavrilov finished speaking, Rokossovsky asked curiously: "Comrade Major, I would like to ask, have you been held here by the Germans since you were captured?" ”

Gavrilov shook his head and said: "I was wounded and captured, and the Germans put me in a prisoner of war camp in Belarus, where I stayed until the spring of 1942. After the camp was disbanded, I moved through several prisoner of war camps in Poland and Germany, and was finally settled by the Germans in the city of Hamelisburg. Hitler's bandits set up a local prisoner-of-war camp for officers, which housed thousands of captured officers of our army. Here I met General Karlbeschev ......"

"Wait a minute, Comrade Major." When Su Bojing heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt Gavrilov's words: "I want to ask, is the general Karbeshev you are talking about, who led the construction of the Brest-Lithuanian fortress and served as the commander of the fortress, Lieutenant General Karbeshev of the engineering corps?" ”

"That's right, Comrade Military Commissar." Gavrilov nodded and said in an affirmative tone: "That's him." ”

"Go on, Comrade Major." Subotin made a gesture of invitation to Gavrilov: "How was General Karbeshev captured and where is he now?" ”

"Comrade Military Commissar," Gavrilov said, looking at Subotin, "as I know, Karbeshev was captured after being stunned by German shells at the crossing while following his troops to force the crossing of the Dnieper. After Karlbeschev was captured, it is said that Hitler personally ordered that as long as Karlbeschev was willing to serve the German army, the German side could meet all the conditions he wanted. However, General Karbeshev all firmly and categorically refused.

In February of this year, our prisoner of war camp was disbanded, and all but some of the officers held in it were killed. I was taken here by the Germans to a prisoner of war camp, and the Mauthausen concentration camp was sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp. ”

Hearing Gavrilov mention the Mauthausen concentration camp, Rokossovsky's heart couldn't help but sink, although he didn't know what the fate of General Karlbessev was in real history, but since he was sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp at this moment, there was almost no chance of survival.

Rokossovsky sighed softly, and when Gavrilov finished speaking, he immediately opened his mouth and asked: "Comrade Major, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

Hearing Rokossovsky's question, Gavrilov knew that Okorokov had not had time to report his affairs to his superiors, and since Rokossovsky asked at this moment, he mentioned the matter of his wife and adopted son: "Comrade Marshal, since the outbreak of the war, I have not seen my wife and adopted son, I would like to ask you for your help to inquire about their whereabouts and see if they are still alive." ”

If it were something else, Rokossovsky might not be of much help, but the whereabouts of Major Gavrilov's wife and adopted son, he had seen in a post in later generations. Seeing that Gavrilov was anxious to know their whereabouts, he thought for a moment and said: "Comrade Major, your wife Ekaterina ?? Grigorievna?? Gavrilova is still alive, she and her son were captured by the Hitlerists, loaded into a car and taken to Poland, where they fled back to Brest and settled in a small village, where soon your adopted son Kolya joined the partisans. ”

When Su Bojing heard Rokossovsky tell him about Gavrilov's wife and children, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face, and he secretly thought in his heart: "From yesterday to now, I have been staying with Comrade Marshal, where did he learn about these situations?" ”

"Is this all true, Comrade Marshal?" Hearing Rokossovsky say this, Gavrilov's eyes turned red, and he choked up and asked: "Are both of them still alive?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Major, they are still alive." After Rokossovsky told about Gavrillo and his children, he suddenly realized that he was talking a little too much, which might arouse Subotin's suspicions, so he said cautiously: "During the Belarusian campaign, a partisan detachment cooperated with us to liberate a village, where I met your wife and adopted son. Coincidentally, they asked me to inquire about your whereabouts. ”

When Su Bojing, who was on the side, heard this, a sudden expression appeared on his face: No wonder Comrade Marshal knew so much about Gavrilov's relatives, it turned out that he had seen Gavrilov's wife and children when he liberated Belarus.

Knowing that his wife and children were still alive, Gavrilov's voice became hoarse with excitement: "Comrade Marshal, are they all okay now?" ”

Rokossovsky was a little embarrassed by Gavrilov's question, and he only remembered that the post mentioned that Gavrilov and his wife and children were reunited after the war, but their specific situation was unknown. He hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Comrade Major, if you wish, I can send someone to send you back to Brest to reunite with your wife and children. ”

Rokossovsky thought that as soon as he said this, Gavrilov, who was like an arrow, would agree without hesitation, but after being silent for a long time, the other party shook his head and said: "Comrade Marshal, thank you for your kindness, but I can't go back to see them now." ”

"Why is that?" When Su Bojing heard Gavrilov say this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Comrade Major, why don't you want to go back and reunite with your family?" ”

"Comrade Marshal, I ask to take part in the battle." Gavrilov, who was originally sitting, stood up abruptly, straightened up and said to Rokossovsky: "I will send the *** bandit to the grave, and I will be satisfied." They killed as many soldiers and civilians as we wanted, and I sent as many *** bandits as I wanted to the grave. Could you please grant my request? ”

After listening to Gavrilov's request, Rokossovsky did not immediately express his opinion, but turned his head to look at Subojing and asked: "Comrade Military Commissar, I want to hear your opinion?" ”

"Comrade Major, your body is very weak, and you can't command troops to fight in such a state." Su Bojing knew in his heart that Gavrilov had been tortured in the German prisoner of war camps, so he was willing to take any opportunity to take revenge on the hated enemy. However, he did not immediately agree to the other party's request, but said euphemistically: "Also, according to the relevant regulations, you cannot be added to the army until your political examination work is completed." ”

"Comrade Military Commissar," Gavrilov could not wait for a moment, and was eager to fight the Germans immediately, so as soon as Su Bojing finished speaking, he could not wait to say: "Please arrange a political trial of me immediately." ”

"Comrade Chief of the Political Department, please arrange the political trial of Major Gavrilov as soon as possible." Su Bojing beckoned to Okorokov, who was standing aside, motioned for him to come in front of him, and then said: "As soon as the political trial is completed, report to me and Comrade Marshal immediately." ”
