Chapter 105 Reconnaissance Mission Sokov woke up from his sleep, and unexpectedly found that the camp bed opposite was empty, and Belkin was gone. Thinking that Belgin had gone to the bathroom, he rolled over and continued to sleep. But after a long time, without hearing the footsteps of Belkin's return, Sokov turned over and sat up, looked at the empty bed opposite, and thought to himself: Strange, where did Belkin go, and why it took so long Still not coming back? No, I'm going out to have a look. Thinking of this, he got out of bed, put on his boots, put on his military coat, and walked outside the command post. As soon as he walked out of the headquarters, he was sneezed by the cold air that hit his face. "Who, who is who?" A vigilant voice suddenly came from not far away. Sokov recognized Belkin's voice, and quickly replied: "It's me, Comrade Political Deputy Battalion Commander." "So it's the battalion commander." Belkin came out of the darkness and asked curiously, "Why did you get up so early?" He raised his wrist and looked at his watch with the help of the moonlight. Continued, "It's four o'clock in the morning, and you can sleep for another three hours." "I can't sleep anymore." Sokov waved his hand at Belkin, and then asked curiously, "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, what are you doing outside if you don't sleep?" "I can't sleep." Belkin sighed, pointed to the north with his hand, and said, "Comrade Battalion Commander, look in the direction of Sukhinich." Looking in the direction of Belkin's finger, Susinich's direction was glowing red, and at the same time, a faint rumbling sound could be heard. Seeing this situation, Sokov couldn't help frowning: "Why, the enemy is shelling Susinich again?" "Yes," Belkin said with a solemn expression, "it started at two o'clock in the morning and lasted for almost two hours, and there is no sign of stopping."
Looking at the city that was being bombarded by the German army, Sokov suddenly felt a sense of relief. He coughed lightly, and then said to Belkin: "Comrade deputy battalion commander, think about it, if the nameless highland Still under the control of the German army, they will definitely set up artillery positions on the top of the hillside, and by then, the troops and residents in the city will suffer greater losses." "It seems that the decision made by the commander was completely correct." Hearing Sokov's words, Belkin said with emotion: "Although we paid a price when attacking this unnamed highland, we still have to pay a price. Can avoid greater losses." He was silent for a moment, and said to Sokov cautiously, "Comrade Battalion Commander, since the city is not safe, do you think of a way to get Asia back as soon as possible, after all, we also need Hygienist." "Let's talk about this later." Although Sukov was concerned about Asiya's safety, he had more important things to do at the moment, so he said seriously: "Comrade Commander once said that the reason why we Susinich can be easily captured because the deception tactics used in the early stage have worked. Now that the enemy has noticed that we have been fooled, they are not willing to lose this city that is extremely important to both sides, and they are bound to carry out crazy Counterattack. Don't look at the temporary calm in our direction, but the enemy will attack again sooner or later, and we need to prepare for battle in advance." Although Belkin had already heard what Sokov said, hearing it again at this moment still made him feel that the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy. He thought for a while and said to Sokov: "Comrade Battalion Commander, we should send reconnaissance personnel to the south to conduct reconnaissance and find out the movements of the Germans, so that we can carry out targeted defense." "It's a pity that Pavel was injured." Speaking of scouts, Sokov remembered Pavel who was still lying and unable to move, and said in a regretful tone: "Otherwise, he can lead the team to reconnaissance." "I estimate that Pavel will not be able to perform such a reconnaissance mission for at least two months. I suggest sending comrades to go." Sokov looked at Belkin and asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?" "Yes, Comrade Battalion Commander." Belkin nodded and replied, "I think Comrade Christopher of the Second Company is very suitable for this reconnaissance mission." Sokov thought that in the first battle he came to this time and space, Christopher had fought side by side with him, and he knew his ability very well. Therefore, he only thought for a moment about Belkin's proposal to let Christopher lead the team to reconnaissance, and then decisively agreed. "Come here!" Seeing that Sokov agreed to his proposal, Belkin immediately shouted to the side. Soon, a sentry appeared in front of the two of them. Belkin said to him: "Comrade soldier, go to the second company immediately and call Christopher here!" "Are you going now?" The sentinel was stunned for a moment when he heard the order, and then asked back. "Yes, it is now." Sokov continued: "Go and call him to the battalion command post immediately." Hearing Sokov's urgent call, Christopher, who had just woken up from his sleep, did not dare to neglect, and quickly followed the sentinel to the command post. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the two battalion commanders sitting at the table talking. He quickly stepped forward two steps, raised his hands to his forehead, and said loudly: "Report to the battalion commander, the second company soldier Christopher has been ordered to come, please." instruct!" "Christopher," Belkin asked, looking at Christopher, "why don't you wear a hat?" Christopher raised his hand and touched his head, and replied with some embarrassment: "I heard the sentry say that the battalion commander was looking for me urgently, so I rushed over immediately. I walked in such a hurry that I forgot to wear my hat." "Be careful next time. In such cold weather, you will get a headache if you don't wear a hat." Belkin said, turning his head to Sokov, "We have brought you here now because we have an important task I will tell you." After waiting for Belkin to finish speaking, Sokov continued: "Christopher, I plan to ask you to take a reconnaissance team and a radio station to the south to conduct reconnaissance, find out the enemy's movements, and report to us in time. report." Although Christopher is only a soldier now, his reaction is very sensitive. Hearing what Sokov said, he tentatively asked: "Comrade battalion commander, do you think the Germans will attack us again?" Attack?"
"Not thinking, but affirming." Sokov looked at him and said, "It's just a matter of time before the Germans attack us. Your task is to figure out when and in what way the Germans will attack us." Forces, attack our unnamed heights. Understand?" "clear!" Seeing Christopher's weak answer, Sokov picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "In order to better conduct reconnaissance against the German army, I plan to form a reconnaissance team in the battalion." The platoon, the platoon leader is Pavel." At this point, he deliberately paused for a moment to observe the other party's expression, and seeing the disappointed expression on Christopher's face, he continued, "As long as you can complete it satisfactorily For this reconnaissance mission, when you come back, I will promote you to the rank of sergeant and serve as the deputy platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon." Christopher, who was disappointed, did not expect such a big piece of pie to fall from the sky in a blink of an eye. After a brief astonishment, he immediately replied in a loud voice: "Comrade Battalion Commander, please rest assured that I will successfully complete this reconnaissance mission."
