Rokossovsky also saw the difficulties faced at the front and was anxious in his heart. www.biquge.info If you don't have enough weapons and ammunition, let alone attack the enemy, even if you defend, it is very difficult. If he hadn't been bedridden now, he would have gone to the staff headquarters and asked Vasilevsky to use the power in his hands to give priority to the supply of the 16th Army.

Although from Rokossovsky's words, Malinin had already guessed what he was trying to say, but out of respect, I took the initiative to ask: "Comrade commander, what should we do?" ”

"In the current situation, if we all keep our hands on our hands and just wait, it is a crime." Rokossovsky concluded: "Immediately send a reconnaissance detachment to find out where the enemy's logistics warehouses are, and then organize troops to seize the enemy's supplies, even if they can't move them, they have to burn everything down with a fire." ”

"Okay, as soon as we get back, we'll arrange this as soon as we get back." Malinin replied without hesitation.

Rokossovsky thought for a moment and reminded Malinin again: "After our army captured Zhizdra, I estimate that the next target for attack will be Bryansk, so reconnaissance of the area must be carried out at the same time." ”

"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Malinin assured Rokossovsky that "reconnaissance work in the Bryansk region was carried out earlier than the beginning." Because according to our analysis, the 16th Army will be the main force for the offensive on Bryansk. ”

The three chatted for a while, and Malinin and Kazakov got up to say goodbye to Rokossovsky. When Rokossovsky shook hands with the two men, he told them: "I am very grateful to you for coming to Moscow to visit me, but the fighting situation at the front is very important, and the two of you, as one of the main leaders of the army group, have nothing important, so you don't need to come to see me again." I believe that in less than two months, I will be able to return to the army. ”

After the two left, a middle-aged male military doctor walked in from outside, and he asked Rokossovsky with a smile: "Comrade General, how are you feeling today?" ”

"It's still the same." Rokossovsky said a little frustratedly: "I don't know when I will be able to get out of bed and walk around?" ”

"Don't worry, Comrade General." The military doctor motioned to the nurse who followed up to give Rokossovsky an injection, and then said: "Your injuries are very serious, and it is very fast to be able to recover to your current state. What's more, you don't have a post-operative infection, which is very beneficial for your physical recovery. ”

After receiving the injection, Rokossovsky looked at the military doctor and asked, "Why didn't you see Dr. Tatiana today?" ”

Hearing Rokossovsky's question, the nurse who was packing up couldn't help but look at him in surprise. And the military doctor, while recording Rokossovsky's situation in his notebook, said casually: "Tatiana has gone home to rest after checking the room in the morning. She was on the night shift and would have to wait until after six o'clock in the evening. ”

After the doctors and nurses left, Rokossovsky was left alone in the ward, looking boredly at the snow-white ceiling, his mind constantly thinking about things. For a while, I thought about how to compete with the Germans on the battlefield; After a while, I thought of Borisova again, if it weren't for the fact that my body couldn't move, I guess I would have done everything I needed to do last night.

Thinking of Borisova, he couldn't help but raise his wrist and look at his watch, and found that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and in two hours, Borisova and Tatiana would both appear in his hospital room one after the other.

He wished that the time would pass sooner, but the hands on his watch were almost motionless as if they were glued to them. After two hours that seemed like years, he finally heard footsteps in the hallway.

At first, he was secretly happy in his heart, but when he listened carefully, he couldn't help but be deflated, because the footsteps were not made by Borisova at all. Moments later, the door was pulled open from the outside, and Tatiana, a beautiful female military doctor, appeared in the doorway.

She waved her hand at Rokossovsky, who was lying on the hospital bed, and said playfully: "Hello, Comrade General, I heard from the nurse that you specifically asked me about it in the afternoon, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing," Rokossovsky said with a smile on his face, "I'm too bored to be alone in the ward, and I want to find someone to talk to." Because I didn't see you, I asked casually. ”

"It's boring." Hearing that Rokossovsky was not looking for herself, Tatiana was faintly disappointed in her heart, and she asked sourly: "Why, hasn't your girlfriend come to accompany you today?" ”

"Not here yet," Rokossovsky said with a look at his watch, a little puzzled, "She leaves work at half past five every day, and usually arrives at my ward around six o'clock." I don't know how to do it today, but I haven't been here yet! ”

After hearing this, Tatiana couldn't help but sneer: "It turns out that if Borisova doesn't come, our comrades will feel empty and lonely, am I right?" ”

Rokossovsky's old face flushed, and he said in his heart how could this Tatiana speak so directly, although he knew that he was joking, but he still felt a little unable to get off the stage. He hurriedly replied with a smile: "If she comes, she can also talk to you, I see that you are quite lonely sometimes." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it." After Tatiana said this, she quickly changed the topic: "Comrade General, how do you feel today?" ”

"The wounds itch uncomfortably," Rokossovsky replied with a wry smile, "but they were all on his back, and he couldn't scratch them." ”

"I'll help you." Tatiana stepped forward and lifted Rokossovsky's quilt, gently turned his body to the side, then put her palm on his back, slowly rubbed his itchy parts with her fingers, and comforted him at the same time: "Don't worry, comrade general, since the wound is itching, it proves that it is getting better, and I believe that it will not be long before you will be discharged from the hospital." ”

"That's a good feeling." Rokossovsky, who was leaning sideways, deliberately found something to distract himself from and said: "By the way, comrade military doctor, where does your husband work?" ”

Hearing Rokossovsky's question, Tatiana's hand couldn't help but stop. After more than ten seconds, she said quietly: "I don't know, maybe I sacrificed, or maybe I became a prisoner of the Germans." Then she repeated what she had said to Borisova.

After telling her story, she suddenly remembered that Rokossovsky was an important person, otherwise he would not have been assigned to this hospital under the direct control of the General Staff Headquarters, so she asked tentatively: "Comrade General, I have heard that there is an order that all Red Army soldiers must fight to the end, and that if they are captured by the Germans, regardless of whether they have resisted beforehand, they will be punished as treason, and even their relatives will be sent to labor camps." Is this true? ”

Rokossovsky was silent for a long time before replying: "I think we should treat those captured soldiers differently, after all, in the early days of the war, because of our lack of preparation, hundreds of commanders and fighters were captured, and if they were all according to this standard, then the number of people sent to labor camps would be tens of millions. ”

Rokossovsky turned his head to look at Tatiana, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and then said: "Last month, we sent thousands of captured commanders and fighters from a liberated prisoner of war camp to fight. On the battlefield, they fought tenaciously with a bitter hatred for the Germans, and they all showed great valor. ”

"Is this true?" Tatiana asked in surprise: "Even if you are a prisoner of the Germans, after being rescued, can you still join our army?" ”

"That's right, that's right." Rokossovsky affirmed: "However, for the sake of safety, before being incorporated into the army, I will send political workers to screen and make sure that there are no surrendered renegades among those who join the team." The rest of the people, as long as their physical condition allows, and he himself does not object, will generally be directly integrated into the army. ”

"Comrade General," Tatiana heard this, listened again with both hands, and asked tentatively, "If, I say if, my husband was captured by the Germans, and the prisoner of war camp in which he was located happened to be liberated by our troops. As long as he did not surrender to the Germans, then he could return to the army. Am I right? ”

"Mmmm, your understanding is completely correct." Rokossovsky's heart was thinking about Borisova while absentmindedly answering Tatiana's question.

When Rokossovsky lay down on his back again, Tatiana asked him like an old friend: "Comrade General, what is your relationship with Borisova, can you tell me?" ”

"Guess?" Although Rokossovsky's form improved today, he still didn't want to say anything superfluous, so he replied exceptionally succinctly.

"Wife? Definitely not. Anyway, being idle is idle, and Tatiana began to guess: "Let's talk about girlfriends, it feels like the relationship between the two of you is going to be closer." ”

After Rokossovsky waited for Tatiana to finish, he sighed softly and said helplessly: "I don't know what the relationship between us is. She is like a wife and a lover to me......" He saw Tatiana sitting quietly on the chair next to him, and slowly told him the story of his acquaintance and relationship with Borisova.

After spending more than half an hour telling his story, Rokossovsky was a little out of breath from exhaustion, Tatiana quickly got up and poured him a glass of water, and then took a spoon and fed him spoonful, and at the same time said to him: "Comrade General, I can see that you and Borisova are serious, and I believe that sooner or later you will come together." ”

When Rokossovsky heard her say this, he could only smile bitterly in his heart, saying that even if he liked Borisova again, it was useless, after all, the body he had taken away and a wife who was married by Ming Media, with his current status, how could he marry another after divorce.

He habitually raised his hand to look at his watch, and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to seven o'clock, but he had not yet seen the familiar figure of Borisova appear at the door.

Tatiana sensed his anxiety and hurriedly explained him, saying, "Comrade General, don't worry. Since Borisova didn't come, something must have been delayed. When I saw her off in the morning, I vaguely heard her mention that her superiors knew about the incident that she had been mistakenly arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday, and that her superiors would definitely want to talk to her, perhaps because of this delay. ”

"I hope so!" Rokossovsky replied uneasily.

Tatiana raised her hand and looked at her watch, then said to Rokossovsky: "Comrade General, I still have something to do now, and I will come to chat with you when I am done." ”

"Okay, you go get busy." Rokossovsky waved his hand at Tatiana, "Don't worry about me, I can stand the loneliness." ”

Hearing Rokossovsky's statement that he was swollen and fat, Tatiana couldn't help but smile, waved her hand at Rokossovsky, who was lying on the bed, and then pushed open the door and walked out.

But two or three hours passed, and Borisova never appeared. When Tatiana, who came back to see Rokossovsky after finishing her work, heard about it, she hurriedly ran to her office and called the phone left by Borisova. But the bell rang until it cut off, but still no one answered the phone.

After putting down the phone, she returned to Rokossovsky and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Comrade General, I called Borisova's office, but unfortunately no one answered. Maybe she's just gotten off work and is heading here. ”

"No, it's past ten o'clock." Rokossovsky shook his head and said disappointedly: "The subway has stopped, and it is estimated that she will not come again tonight." When he said this, he thought to himself that it was because his actions last night went too far and scared Borisova, so she didn't come over today.

Seeing Rokossovsky's depressed look, Tatiana hurriedly comforted him and said: "Comrade General, since Borisova is not here today, then I will stay and chat with you, and I will leave when you fall asleep." ”

Although Rokossovsky also wanted a beautiful female military doctor to sit by his bed and talk to him about his life ideals, he still pretended to be reserved on the surface and asked: "It won't affect your work, right?" ”

"No," said Tatiana, shaking her head, "there are only five or six wounded in this hospital, including you, and you are the most seriously wounded. As long as you're okay here, there's nothing wrong with them. ”

The thought of having a beautiful woman who could chat with him all night made Rokossovsky feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but he still tried his best to control his emotions, so as not to behave too much like a pig brother and scare the female military doctor away. He waited for his mood to calm down a little, and then asked tentatively, "Then what are we going to talk about?" ”

"yes, what are you talking about?" Tatiana sat on the edge of the bed, with her hands on the bed, her fingers crossed over her chin, and said to herself. After a moment, her eyes lit up, and then she said to Rokossovsky: "Comrade General, tell me about the battles you once commanded!" ”

"The battles I commanded," Rokossovsky couldn't help but laugh, "if I had to talk about it, I guess I wouldn't have been able to finish it in three days and three nights." Do you really have the patience to listen? ”
