Under the leadership of the deputy director, Sokov and the others came to the assembly workshop located in the north of the factory. Along the way, they encountered several sentry posts. Seeing that the deputy director was leading the way, the militiamen at the sentry posts let them pass without even checking.
After passing five or six sentry posts in a row, Brisky smiled and said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigadier, fortunately we have Comrade Deputy Factory Director personally guiding us this time. Otherwise, we would have been delayed a lot when passing these sentry posts. Less time.”
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel," the deputy factory director heard Briski's words and quickly explained to Sokov: "These sentries were just established to prevent the Germans from sneaking into the factory area."
Sokov made careful calculations on the way here. Basically, there is one such sentry post three to five hundred meters away. Each place has a squadron of troops. Even if the enemy really comes in, these sentry posts will at least have time to sound the alarm. . He said: "Comrade Deputy Factory Director, your arrangement of sentry posts is very reasonable. The two sentry posts are several hundred meters apart and can see each other. Even if the German army sends people to check the sentry posts and one sentry post is attacked, the other The sentry posts can also provide timely support. Each sentry post has a squad, and it should be no problem to support them for a few minutes in the face of enemy attacks."
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, you are right." As soon as Sokov finished speaking, the deputy director agreed: "After the comrades of the Guards Division came, they personally arranged such a sentry for us. The reason they said , same as what you just said.”
When we arrived at the assembly workshop, Cousteau, the workshop director, was already waiting at the door. He and the deputy director first hugged each other, and then said politely to Sokov: "Hello, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, on behalf of all the comrades in the assembly workshop, I welcome you."
When Sokov shook hands with Cousteau, he casually asked: "Comrade Cousteau, I would like to ask, how many workers are there in your workshop?"
"There are 823 people in the workshop, including workers and cadres." Cousteau replied: "Among them, 539 are workers with guns in their hands."
Sokov did not expect that there would be so many people in an assembly workshop. He could not help but widen his eyes in surprise and said in amazement: "There are actually so many people in one workshop?"
The deputy director and Cousteau looked at each other and said with a chuckle: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, the assembly workshop does not have the largest number of workers in the entire Red October Tractor Factory. The workshop with the largest number of workers has two. There are thousands of people.”
Sokov thought silently in his heart that there were more than 500 armed workers in this workshop, plus the 300 people he brought, they could form two battalions. As long as the factory buildings here are strong and can block the attack of a German battalion, Still no problem. Thinking of this, he immediately asked Cousteau: "Comrade Cousteau, I would like to ask, is your factory here strong? In addition, have you built any fortifications?"
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, our workshop is a solid fortification." Cousteau replied confidently: "The basement of the workshop is our shelter when we are shelled and bombed. The windows on the ground floor of the factory are blocked with bricks, leaving only There are some necessary shooting holes. Around the factory, there are two permanent firepower points in each building, which can place anti-tank guns or heavy machine guns. These permanent firepower points are made of reinforced concrete structures and cannot be destroyed by ordinary German artillery fire..."
"Comrade Cousteau, I have a question." Sokov waited for Cousteau to introduce the fortifications of the workshop and then asked: "Since you have so many armed workers and such strong fortifications, why? Why don’t you assist the annihilation battalion in driving away the enemies who broke into the factory?”
Cousteau did not answer Sokov's question, but turned his attention to the deputy director of the factory for help. After seeing Cousteau's gaze, the deputy director coughed slightly, and then explained to Sokov: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, this is more than 800 meters away from the daytime breakthrough. Our firepower They couldn't hit the enemy at all, and Comrade Cousteau didn't receive the order to attack, so they could only watch from the sidelines when the battle was at its fiercest."
"Yes, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." Cousteau said with a blushing face: "We are an assembly workshop, and we block T-34 tanks from supplying the troops every day. If they are occupied by the German army, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, after getting permission from our superiors, Under such circumstances, we cannot attack casually."
After listening to the statements of the deputy factory director and Cousteau, Sokov did not want to get entangled in the matter any longer. After all, his mission was to assist in defense, but to hold Tian Tian responsible. He changed the topic and asked: "Cousteau. Comrade Stowe, since the assembly workshop is so important, it will definitely be attacked by enemy planes. Have you established an air defense position?"
"Yes, there are air defense positions." Cousteau pointed upward with his hand and said, "On the roof, we have deployed six M1939 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and the female anti-aircraft artillery unit is responsible for air defense."
When he learned that a women's anti-aircraft artillery unit was deployed on the roof, Sokov suddenly became interested. He tentatively asked Cousteau: "Comrade Cousteau, can you take me up to have a look?" He was afraid that the other party would refuse, so he added One sentence: "The anti-aircraft gun you mentioned weighs two tons each. I want to see how it is moved up?"
Cousteau glanced at Sokov in surprise and explained: "This is easy to do. Just dismantle the anti-aircraft gun, move the parts in batches and reassemble it."
"Oh oh oh, that's it." Sokov really didn't expect that the other party actually dismantled the anti-aircraft gun, moved it to the roof and then reassembled it. This made his interest even stronger, " Comrade Cousteau, can we go up to the roof and have a look?"
"Yes, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." Cousteau did not make things difficult for Sokov as he imagined. Instead, he replied readily: "I will accompany you up." After that, Cousteau called a deputy, Let him be responsible for placing the commanders and fighters of the fourth battalion, and he took Sokov and the deputy director to climb the fire escape to the roof.
As soon as Sokov and the others climbed onto the roof along the fire escape, they heard a woman's voice shouting sternly: "Don't move, password!"
Sokov looked up and saw a uniformed female soldier holding a rifle, aiming at the three of them, as if ready to shoot at any time. Before Sokov could speak, Cousteau had already said: "It's me, Cousteau. The deputy director and a commander are here. I'll take them up to see the anti-aircraft position."
"Oksara, what happened?" A voice that seemed familiar to Sokov came from behind the female soldier: "Who climbed up the fire escape?"
"Comrade Lieutenant," the female soldier known as Oksara heard the voice, quickly put away the gun in her hand, turned around and said to the back: "It's Director Cousteau. He said he would bring the deputy director and a group of Commander, come up and take a look."
A female officer wearing a steel helmet came out from behind Oksara and said to Cousteau who was still standing on the fire escape: "Please come up, Director Cousteau."
After Sokov saw the female officer's face clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Lieutenant Ulanova, is that you?"
"Who are you?" When she heard someone suddenly calling her name, and that person was not the Cousteau she was familiar with, Ulanova couldn't help but asked vigilantly: "How do you know my name?" After asking this question Afterwards, she felt a little regretful in her heart, feeling that she shouldn't ask. After all, the other party came here with Cousteau before, so it was not surprising that he knew her life and military rank.
"It's me!" Sokov jumped from the fire escape to the roof, took a few steps towards Ulanova, and raised his voice and said, "I am Lieutenant Colonel Sokov."
When Ulanova heard Sokov announcing his home address, she quickly looked at him carefully. She had spent some time at Mamayev Heights, so she naturally knew Sokov. When she saw clearly that the commander standing in front of her was indeed Sokov, she said "ah" and then asked in surprise: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, it's really you! Why are you here?"
