  Chapter 778 Rescue (Part 2)

   Out of the corner of his eye, Sokov caught a glimpse of a sergeant standing outside the door of the operating room, looking inside anxiously through the curtain. Seeing the MP40 submachine gun on the opponent's chest, Sokov knew that the sergeant should belong to the downsizing regiment, and that he might have come with Griza from the archives building, so he pointed at the opponent and said: "Comrade Sergeant, come to me."

   When the sergeant heard Sokov calling him, he hurried over and asked respectfully, "Hello, Comrade Commander! Do you have any instructions?"

   "What's your name, did you come from the Archives Building with Lieutenant Grisa?"

   "Report to the commander, my name is Tavlin, and I am a soldier of the fourth company." The sergeant straightened his body and replied, "I returned to Mamayev Post with Comrade Lieutenant."

  Sokov felt that the name Tavlin was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. However, he was eager to know how Griza was injured, so he didn't think too much about it, but asked directly: "How did Griza step on the landmine, please report to me about the situation at that time."

"After Lieutenant Grisa received the order, he took me and soldier Kayugin out of the archives building. Unexpectedly, halfway, Kayukin, who was walking with the lieutenant, accidentally stepped on a landmine." Tavlin reported to Sokov: "Kayugin died on the spot, and the lieutenant was also injured by the shrapnel. I was not affected by the shrapnel because I was a little far away from them..."

"Comrade Commander," Tavlin had just reported Griza's injury to Sokov, and Sidolin walked back: "I have already called Seryozha, and he will bring people over soon. .”

  After Sidolin finished speaking, he paid attention to Tavlin standing in front of Sokov. He sized him up carefully, with a surprised expression on his face: "Aren't you that Sergeant Tavlin?"

   "Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff." Tavlin replied politely, "It's me, I'm Tavlin."

   "Chief of Staff," seeing that Sidolin knew each other, Sokov couldn't help asking curiously, "Have you met Sergeant Tavlin before?"

Seeing that Sokov didn't seem to know Tavlin, Sidolin quickly reminded him: "Comrade commander, you still remember that Captain Goria personally led a small detachment, disguised as Germans, went deep behind the enemy's rear, and fired four rockets into the enemy's rear. Killing a regiment headquarters in the German army?"

"Remember." After Sidolin's reminder, Sokov immediately remembered that it was September, so he nodded and asked Tavlin standing in front of him: "Comrade Sergeant, if I guessed correctly, You also participated in this operation at that time, right?"

"That's right, Comrade Commander." Seeing that Sokov remembered an attack he had participated in, Tavlin had a relaxed expression on his face: "I speak good German, so Captain Goria ordered me to put on a disguise." Second lieutenant of the German army, responsible for dealing with the enemies along the way."

   Knowing that the sergeant in front of him speaks good German, Sokov immediately understood why Griza brought him back with him. It was originally intended to be used for interrogation by the German army when operating behind enemy lines. However, when he thought of Griza, who was still lying in the operating room, his life and death were uncertain, Sokov felt extremely heavy.

  There was the sound of chaotic footsteps, and Sokov turned his head to look, and saw that it was Seryozha who hurried over with more than 20 soldiers. Knowing that this should be the soldier who came to give Griza blood transfusion, he called out Asiya who had already entered the operating room: "Asiya, the soldiers who gave Griza blood transfusion have arrived, what do you want them to do?" place to draw blood?"

  Asiya walked up to Sergey Sha and asked him, "Sergesha, are all these fighters blood type A?"

   Serezha shook his head and replied: "I have asked carefully, and there are only 11 people with type A blood. I am worried that it is not enough, so I found some fighters with type O blood to supplement."

Asya waited for Seryozha to finish listening, and said to the soldiers: "Listen, everyone, comrades with blood type A stand on the left, comrades with blood type O stand on the right." As soon as she finished speaking, the soldiers rushed Standing in line again, within a minute, they were divided into two distinct teams.

Seeing that the soldiers had already been divided into teams, Assia waved to the soldiers on the left and said, "Follow me to the next hut to draw blood. As for comrades with type O blood, you are not needed here, so go back. "

   Seeing that Assia wanted to drive away the type O warrior without saying a word, Sokov felt very puzzled. He stretched out his hand to hold Assia's arm, and asked inexplicably, "Assia, isn't type O blood a universal blood transfusion? Why do you want to drive them away?"

Hearing Sokov's question, Asiya first glanced at him with contempt, and then Cope said: "The reason why type O blood is called universal blood is because the red blood cells of type O blood lack A and B blood. Antigens, so blood transfusions can be given to people with type A, B and AB blood.

  However, type O blood is only used to relieve the urgent need in the emergency of saving lives, when the blood of the same type is insufficient or lacking. Because type O plasma contains anti-A and anti-B antibodies, it can sensitize or agglutinate type A, B, and AB red blood cells, shorten their lifespan or destroy them immediately, so blood transfusion is contraindicated. "

  After Asiya finished her science, seeing Sokov's confused face, she couldn't help snorting: "Do you understand?"

"Understood, I understand." After Assia's science popularization, Sokov immediately realized that it was indeed inappropriate to transfuse Type O blood to Grisa with Type A blood. After he nodded his head in agreement, he urged Asiya: "Hurry up and take the soldiers with blood type A to draw blood."

  Seryozha waited for Assia to enter the small room with the soldiers of type A blood, and asked Sokov in a low voice: "Misha, what's going on? How could Lieutenant Griza be seriously injured?"

Sokov had just learned more about the situation from Tavlin, and when he heard Sergey's question, he said in a low voice: "Griza is on his way back to Mamayev's post, and one of the soldiers accompanying him is not Carefully stepped on a landmine, and unfortunately died on the spot. Griza was too close to the bombing point, and was blown to blood on the spot..."

  After listening to Sokov's narration, Seryozha couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "My God, with such a heavy injury, can you still be saved?"

Sokov was silent for a long time, and said in an uncertain tone: "The military doctors inside are doing their best to rescue them. As for whether they can be saved, they can only be resigned to fate." After speaking, he turned his head sideways and listened carefully to the operating room. He just heard the sound of a piece of shrapnel being thrown into the metal plate, which made his heart tremble.

   "Comrade Commander," Sidolin walked to Sokov and whispered to him, "The operation may take another hour or two. I think we should go back to the division headquarters and wait for news."

"Okay," Sokov raised his hand and looked at his watch. He saw that it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and it was not long before dawn. The enemy might launch a new attack at any time. He and Sidolin must rush back The division is in town. Therefore, he readily agreed to Sidolin's proposal: "Let's go back to the division headquarters now."

  After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, stopped and said to Seryozha, who was still standing there, "Seryozha, has Second Lieutenant Samoilov's troops returned?"

"They are already on their way back, and it is estimated that they will enter the tunnel in a few minutes." Seryozha knew Sokov very well and knew that he would not ask this question for no reason, so he asked tentatively: "Are you looking for him?" what's the matter?"

"Seryozha, you send someone back to the company to guard. When he comes back, let him come to see me. And you, Comrade Sergeant." Sokov's last words were addressed to Tavlin : "As soon as Griza's operation is finished, you will come to see me at the division headquarters immediately."

   "Yes, Comrade Commander." Taflin quickly and loudly replied.

   On the way back to the division headquarters, Sidolin asked Sokov in a low voice: "Comrade commander, you asked Sergeant Tavlin to report to the division headquarters. Do you want him to also participate in operations behind the enemy lines?"

"That's right." Sokov nodded and replied, "We are going to go deep behind the enemy lines, so we may need to make up. Of course, soldiers who can understand German are indispensable. Since Sergeant Tavlin has participated in raids behind enemy lines, he has rich combat experience. , Let him join, it is perfect."

  As soon as the two entered the division headquarters, Ivanov greeted him and asked with concern: "Comrade commander, how is Griza's situation? Can you save him?"

"His injury is serious," Sokov shook his head and said, "The military doctor has tried his best to rescue him, but it is still unknown whether he can be saved. By the way, during our absence, did anything happen? "

"The position in our defense zone is very calm, and the enemy has not shown any signs of attack." Ivanov reported to Sokov: "The third battalion commander, Captain Andrei, called and said that the ninth company commander, Lieutenant Guchakov, He has already set off, and he will be here in half an hour at most. Comrade Commander, I would like to ask, why did you recruit him to the division headquarters?"

   Hearing Ivanov's question, Sokov realized that he and Sidolin left too hastily just now, and hadn't had time to tell the other party that they were going to send troops deep behind enemy lines. Quickly replied: "That's right, Comrade Deputy Division Commander, in order to better attack the enemy and block their plot to capture Stalingrad. After studying and deciding with the Chief of Staff, we decided to send a capable team to the enemy's rear."

   "Send a small unit to the enemy's rear?!" Ivanov showed a surprised expression on his face: "Don't we have several small units behind the enemy? Why do we need to send new ones?"

"The records of those small teams behind the enemy lines are not good, and some of them are on the verge of extinction. I have asked the chief of staff to order them to withdraw to Mamayev Post as soon as possible." Sokov explained to Ivanov Said: "I originally planned to let Lieutenant Grisa lead the team to be dispatched, but he was seriously injured, so I can only re-select the right person."

"So," Ivanov asked tentatively after he understood what was going on, "Are you planning to let Lieutenant Guchakov lead this new team deep behind the enemy's rear?" After replying, he frowned and continued, "Excuse me, he was captured by the Germans twice. Is it really appropriate for him to lead the team deep behind enemy lines?"

   "Don't worry, Comrade Deputy Division Commander." Sokov knew that in the army today, there is a prejudice against those commanders and fighters who were once captured by the German army. He can't control other units, but within the 41st Guards Division, he hopes that through his own efforts, the commanders and fighters who have been captured can get fair treatment. The reason why Samoilov was sent this time was to consider the identity of the other party's Ministry of Internal Affairs to avoid gossip: "I plan to let Second Lieutenant Samoilov go with him."

When Ivanov saw that Sokov insisted on letting Guchakov lead the team, he originally wanted to persuade him, but when he heard that Second Lieutenant Samoilov was accompanying him, his words changed immediately: "Since there is Lieutenant Samoilov is involved in the operation, then I have nothing to worry about."

   Guchakov and Samoilov came to the division headquarters one after the other. When Sokov was assigning tasks to them, Tavlin walked into the division headquarters. Seeing Tavlin appear, Sokov quickly stopped his narration, walked towards him, and asked with concern: "How is it, Comrade Sergeant, is the operation finished?"

Taflin nodded and said: "Yes, Comrade Commander, the operation has been completed, and a total of 27 pieces of shrapnel were taken out from the lieutenant's body. The military doctor said that although the operation was completed, the chance of the lieutenant surviving is not high. After all, his injury is too serious."

  Hearing this, Sokov couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, secretly saying that Griza is just finished like this? Hastily asked again: "Where is he now?"

   "Assia arranged for him a separate room, and arranged for a special hygienist to take care of him." Taflin said: "She said she would find a way to make the lieutenant survive."

Although Sokov came to this era and was used to seeing death, he still felt very sad when he learned that a subordinate he valued was about to die. He pinched his sore nose with his hands to prevent tears from bursting into his eyes. Come. After his mood improved a little, he said to Sidolin in a low voice: "Comrade Sergeant, come to the table, I have a task to explain to you."

Sidolin followed Sokov to the table, and after seeing the map spread out on it, he immediately understood what Sokov would explain to himself next, because the locations marked on the map had all been used by him when he was fighting behind enemy lines. have been. Out of politeness, he didn't ask, but quietly waited for Sokov to speak.

"This time, I plan to send a small team of no less than 30 people to fight deep behind the enemy's rear." Sokov looked at Guchakov who was standing opposite him and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, the mission I gave you is It is an important target for attacking the Germans, such as headquarters, warehouses, barracks, etc., and must deal a heavy blow to the enemy."

"Comrade commander, I would like to ask, how many rockets are you going to let us carry?" In order to let Sukov understand what he meant, Guchakov explained: "The number of rockets will determine the number of rockets we will carry behind enemy lines this time." Actions can achieve results."

   "As long as you can recite it, you can take as much as you can, and I can openly supply you." After Sokov said generously, he asked casually: "Do you have any questions?"

   "I have a problem." Samoilov, who had been silent all the time, said unexpectedly.
