  Chapter 992 Father and Daughter Reunited

  Sokov arrived at the health team's place familiarly.

  Because the fighting in the city has ended, most of the wounded who were originally placed here have been transferred to the rear, and the place that was originally overcrowded seems a bit empty.

   Seeing Sokov's appearance, Assia showed a surprised expression on her face: "Misha, how come you have time to come and see me today?"

  Sokov stepped forward and gave Assia a warm hug, and then asked with concern: "Assia, how are you doing recently?"

   "Most of the wounded have been sent away, and there are less than 200 wounded left." Assia said with a relaxed expression: "Now there are a group of small health workers to help, and my work is much easier."

Sokov was wondering how to explain his purpose for coming. Since Asiya mentioned the new little health workers on his own initiative, he asked casually, "Among these little health workers, there is a little girl named Ada. Do you know her?" Where is it?"

  Assia glanced at Sokov suspiciously, then turned to the little health workers not far away who were busy taking care of the wounded. After looking at it for a while, she pointed to a little girl with a round face who was feeding the wounded, and said, "Here, that little girl is the one you are looking for. She is quick in her hands and feet and hardworking. It won't take long. will become our outstanding hygienist here."

   "Take good care of her." Seeing someone walking back and forth nearby, Sokov whispered to Asiya: "Don't let her get hurt."

  Asiya looked back, and asked puzzledly: "Misha, you have never asked me to do anything in private, why did you make an exception this time? Could it be that this little girl is some kind of relative of yours?"

"Assia, I have something to tell you, please keep it secret." Henry approached Assia's ear and whispered to her: "According to my analysis, this little girl named Ada may be from the front army." Daughter of the commander, General Rokossovsky."

   "Ah, she is the commander's daughter?" Assia exclaimed in surprise, and then asked, "Misha, are you sure?"

  Sokov saw Ada’s photo in later generations, and then contacted the name he saw on the roster. He had already determined that this person was Rokossovsky’s daughter, so he replied affirmatively: “Yes, it is her.”

"Since she is the daughter of Comrade Commander, why did you send her here?" Portia asked nervously, "You know, we are a combat unit here, and there is a possibility of sacrifice at any time. Even if she joins the army, she should go The logistics organization, where the danger is much less."

"I think General Rokossovsky didn't even know about Ada's joining the army." Sokov sighed softly, and said, "As far as I know, the father and daughter have been involved since the day the war broke out. , I have never met her. Ada came to the army just to see her father."

   "Misha, I think you should report this matter to the higher authorities." Assia reminded Sokov: "It is necessary to let Comrade Commander know that his daughter is here as soon as possible."

"I have already asked the chief of staff to call Commander Chuikov. Presumably he will report to the commander of the front army after he understands the situation." Sokov warned Assia: "Remember, Ada's identity must be kept absolutely secret. so as not to put her in danger."

   "Don't worry, Misha." Assia nodded and replied, "I will not reveal her identity. At the same time, I will take good care of her and never let her suffer any harm."

As soon as Sokov returned to the headquarters, Sidolin reported to him: "Comrade commander, I have reported this matter to the commander. He was shocked after hearing this, and questioned me repeatedly for a long time. Confirmation After being correct, he said that he would immediately report the matter to the commander of the front army."

"You've done a good job, Comrade Chief of Staff." Sokov affirmed Sidolin's approach. He felt that Rokossovsky might soon hear that his daughter was at Mamayev Hill. Will rush over: "Maybe their father and daughter will have a chance to reunite soon."

"By the way, Comrade Commander, I have another good news to tell you." Sidolin said excitedly: "I just heard from Commander Chuikov that our friendly forces just recovered Kursk today, and at the same time returned to Belgorod. Under the city of De, we are launching an attack on this city, and I believe that it will not take long to drive the enemy out of the city."

  Sokov walked to the wall, looked up at the map hanging on it, and tried to search for relevant content in his mind. After sorting out the information that came to mind, he picked up the explaining stick by the wall and said to everyone: "Comrades, as long as the friendly forces occupy Kursk and Belgorod, then they can continue to go south. Take back Kharkov."

"Interesting, really interesting." Ivanov standing behind Sokov said: "In May last year, after our army failed to attack Kharkov, the German army launched an attack on the Caucasus and Stalingrad. Offensive. Now, we have to pay the blood debt to the Germans."

   "Comrade Commander," Sidolin asked Sokov tentatively, "Do you think friendly troops can take Kharkov?"

"There is no problem in taking Kharkov." Sokov tried to use a tactful tone, telling everyone the historical knowledge he had mastered: "But after capturing the city, the troops deployed by the friendly army in the city may meet Fighting against the frantic German counterattack will be very serious."

  But Sokov's statement did not arouse everyone's vigilance at all. On the contrary, Ivanov and Anisimov analyzed the situation optimistically, thinking that as long as the Soviet army recaptured Kharkov, it would be able to cut off Manstein's retreat and surround the opponent so that they could continue Fight a war of annihilation similar to the Battle of Stalingrad.

   Regarding the optimism of the crowd, Sokov did not pour cold water on them. After all, it was a friendly combat area, so even if he said something, it would be useless. Instead of this, it is better to let everyone have fun with their own imagination.

Seeing Sokov's silence, Ivanov thought that the other party agreed with his opinion, and said with regret: "It's a pity that our division did not participate in this attack, otherwise it would be the first to rush into the troops of Manstein's headquarters." It could be us."

"It's a pity." Sidolin also said regretfully: "If the offensive of the friendly army can be postponed for half a month to a month, let our division complete the repair and go to participate in this battle, maybe Manstein will still be our leader. captive."

The phone on the desk rang. Sokov picked up the receiver and heard Chuikov's voice from inside: "Colonel Sokov, General Rokossovsky will arrive at Mamayev in half an hour. Gang, please pay attention to reception."

   It turned out that Rokossovsky was inspecting troops nearby. After receiving Chuikov's report, he immediately put down his work and drove towards Mamayev Post. Less than ten minutes after Chuikov's phone call, Rokossovsky appeared in the division headquarters. He asked Sokov, "Misha, where is Ada?"

   "Comrade Commander of the Front Army, there is a room next to it, which is relatively quiet. You can wait there for a while. Ada will be there soon."

   "Comrade Commander, please follow me." Sidolin waited for Sokov to finish speaking, and immediately led Rokossovsky to the next room: "I will take you there."

As soon as Rokossovsky walked out of the room, Sokov dialed the number of the health team, and said to Assia who answered the phone: "Assia, it's me, immediately take Ada to the division headquarters, someone wants to see her."

   "Could it be...?" Asiya's words were only halfway through, and then she stopped abruptly. She obviously understood who wanted to see Ada, and said quickly, "I'll take her there right away."

   A few minutes later, Asiya and Ada appeared at the gate of the headquarters. Sokov rushed up to meet them and said to the two, "Follow me!"

Sokov led the two of them to the door of the room where Rokossovsky was staying. Ada glanced into the room inadvertently, and when he saw Rokossovsky pacing back and forth, he froze suddenly. . When Rokossovsky noticed someone appeared at the door, he also stopped. After seeing Ada standing outside the door clearly, he also stood there in a daze. The father and daughter faced each other silently, standing in a daze as if they had been acupunctured.

  Asiya gently pushed Ada on the back, and said softly: "Silly girl, what are you still standing here for, go and see who is inside?"
