Ivanov lived up to Sokov's expectations. He found twenty soldiers who had been tank soldiers in the guard camp. Originally, he planned to find someone to take them to the defense area of the 122nd Regiment, but he was worried about it, so he said hello to Sidorin and then led the group of soldiers to the Workers' New Village.
When he appeared at the regiment command post, Papuchenko, who was directing the battle, was shocked: "Comrade deputy division commander, why are you here?"
"I'm sending tank crews to comrade the division commander." Ivanov pouted at the group of soldiers standing at the door and asked, "Where is the division commander?"
Papuchenko took him to the window, pointed to a building in the distance, and said, "The observation post of Comrade Division Commander is located in that building."
Seeing shells constantly falling around the building with only two floors left, Ivanov frowned and said, "Damn it, Lieutenant Colonel Papuchenko, how could you let the division commander stay in such a dangerous place?"
After hearing Ivanov's duties, Papuchenko spread his hands and said helplessly, "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, you don't know something. The location of the observation post was chosen by the division commander himself. I have no right to change his decision." .”
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel," Ivanov saw artillery shells exploding from time to time on the road leading to the building. He felt that if he led a group of people to run there, at least half of them would be lost, so he asked Papuchenko with a straight face, " Which is the safer way to get to that building?”
When Papuchenko heard what Ivanov said, he knew that he planned to take people to Sokov, and quickly replied, "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, you can go through the sewer. No matter how fierce the enemy's shells are, they can't hurt you." .”
"Sewer?" Ivanov heard Papuchenko mention the sewer and suddenly remembered that Sokov once said that he planned to use the sewer to connect the fortifications together so as to better attack the enemy. However, he had never passed through the sewers before, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, do you have a soldier who is familiar with the terrain of the sewers? Let him act as a guide for us and take us to the division commander."
Ivanov followed the guide sent to him by Papuchenko and entered the sewers of the Workers' New Village. As soon as he entered, the smell inside almost stun him. He quickly covered his nose with his hand and asked the soldier leading the way, "Comrade soldier, do you often use this sewer?"
"Yes, Comrade Deputy Commander. We entered from one building to another through the sewers." The soldier noticed that Ivanov was a little uncomfortable with the smell in the sewers, and quickly said to him, "When I first came in, the smell was... It’s a bit unbearable, but as time goes by, I’ll get used to it.”
In order to maintain his image in front of the soldiers, Ivanov quickly put down the hand covering his nose, pretended to be calm, and said to the soldiers, "Comrade soldier, you are right. When I first came in, the smell here was a bit... It smells bad, but as time goes by, I get used to it. Look, I have completely adapted to the environment here. Okay, hurry up and take us to the building where the division commander is."
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Ivanov and the group of tank soldiers walked through the maze-like sewers. Ivanov said with emotion, "The terrain here is so complicated. It's easy to get lost without someone to guide you."
"You are right, Comrade Deputy Commander." The soldier turned back to Ivanov as he walked. "When the enemy attacked for the first time, the regiment commander ordered us to reinforce our comrades on the west side. Because we were not familiar with the terrain, everyone We got lost in the sewers. As a result, we couldn't reach our destination until those buildings fell."
Ivanov is the kind of commander who fights for every inch of territory. When he heard that the Germans had occupied the buildings on the west side, he quickly asked with concern, "Have all the lost positions been recaptured?"
"Yes," the soldier nodded and said, "We entered the building occupied by the enemy through the sewer, launched an unexpected attack on them, and caught them off guard. It only took less than ten minutes to remove them from the building. Wuli was kicked out."
While chatting, they came under the building where Sokov was. The soldier led everyone to an exit, but instead of going out immediately, he meowed twice like a cat toward the outside. Before Ivanov could ask him why he wanted to meow like a cat, someone already looked down and asked, "Who's down there?"
"It's me, Tonya!" the soldier asked upwards, "Is it Second Lieutenant Samoilov?"
"Yes, it's me." Samoylov squatted outside the sewer entrance and asked, "Who is the person who came with you?"
"It's me, Second Lieutenant Samoilov." Ivanov recognized that the speaker was the guard platoon leader Samoilov who was following Sokov, and he quickly said, "I am Ivanov. "
"Ah, it's Comrade Deputy Division Commander." Hearing Ivanov's voice, Samoilov was shocked. "Why are you here?"
"I am sending tank troops to comrade the division commander," Ivanov looked up at Samoilov and asked, "Is the division commander here?"
"Yes, the division commander is here." Samoilov bent down and stretched out his hand to Ivanov. "Comrade deputy division commander, grab my hand and I will pull you up!"
With Samoilov's help, Ivanov and the tank crews climbed out of the sewer one after another. Ivanov, who had breathed fresh air again, took two deep breaths and asked Samoilov, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, where is the division commander?"
"Comrade Deputy Division Commander, please come with me." Samoylov said this, but his feet did not move. His eyes stayed on the tank soldiers who followed Ivanov.
Ivanov saw Samoilov's dilemma and quickly said to the group of tank soldiers, "Comrades, please wait here for a while. I will go to see the division commander first, and I will arrange tasks for you later." Arrangements are made. After the tank soldier, he raised his chin towards Samoylov and motioned for him to take him to see Sokov.
Sokov, who was holding a telescope, never dreamed that Ivanov would appear at his observation post. He put down the telescope and asked in surprise, "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, why did you come here instead of staying at the headquarters?"
"Comrade division commander," Ivanov replied with a smile, "don't you need tank soldiers? I found twenty in the guard camp and brought them all."
Although the five tanks promised by Peter have not yet arrived, it would be best if the tank crews could be in place first. Sokov quickly asked, "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, where are they?"
Ivanov glanced at Samoilov meaningfully, and then said, "They are all at the sewer exit. If you see them, I will call them over immediately."
