When Sokov brought Anisimov to Gorishny's headquarters, Gorishny, who was chatting with his subordinates, immediately stood up, raised his hand to salute Sokov, and asked curiously: "Comrade Commander , why do you have time to come to my place?" With that, he planned to drive out all the commanders who were chatting with him just now.
"You don't have to leave." Henry noticed Gorishny's intention, stopped them, and continued: "I am here because I have an important task to give you. You all stay and listen carefully, maybe you can still Give me some advice."
Seeing Sokov saying this with a serious face, the commanders present immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly stood at attention, straightening their backs and waiting for Sokov's order.
"Comrades, according to the monitoring team under General Zhukov, there is a German radio station in the city." When Sokov said this, there was no expression of surprise on the faces of the commanders at all, but he was minding his own business. Said: "The general direction is to the west of the city. In other words, the German spies hiding in the city are hiding not far from your headquarters. If he detects that this is a division headquarters, he will directly lead the German army to If planes come to carry out the bombing, I'm afraid you will suffer heavy losses."
"Comrade Commander, I think you are worrying too much." A lieutenant colonel said disapprovingly: "If the enemy's planes come, we can spot them from a long way away. If we get into the air-raid shelter, the enemy will be able to blow them up even if they want to. It can’t blow us up.”
"I think it is unlikely that the enemy will bomb during the day. What we need to be careful of is that it happens to be at night."
"However, after dark, the location of our headquarters cannot be seen at all in the darkness." The lieutenant colonel retorted: "The enemy can't even see where we are, how can they bomb us?"
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel," Sokov recognized the speaker as a regiment leader under Gorishny. He did not use his identity to suppress the other party, but picked up a teacup on the table and said to everyone: " If this is your division headquarters," he placed the tea cup in the middle of the table, picked up three cups in turn, placed them in different directions of the cups representing the division headquarters, and then said, "If I were the enemy, I might I will find ways to set fires in these three directions, so that no matter how dark it is, I can guide the night bombers in the sky to their bombing targets."
Sokov's explanation was simple and clear. After hearing this, the commanders present could not help but break out in a cold sweat. Since they entered the city, they were extremely vigilant during the day because they were worried about German air raids; but at night, they felt that the German pilots could not see the targets on the ground clearly, so they inevitably relaxed their vigilance.
After hearing Sokov's analysis at this moment, they all realized their mistakes. If the German agents in the city really set fires in three different directions at night, the location of the division headquarters would be exposed to German night bombers. After the lieutenant colonel realized his mistake, he blushed and apologized to Sokov: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, we underestimated the enemy too much."
Sokov came here today not to criticize anyone, but to hope that the troops of the 75th Guards Division could assist the city's civilian police station in eliminating German spies hiding in the city. "The intelligence we have obtained so far is limited. We only know that the enemy's agents may be hiding in the west of the city. Since the civilian police branch has too few manpower, we may need your help when arresting the German agents."
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." The lieutenant colonel replied loudly: "As long as you give an order, I will immediately take people to the west of the city to launch a comprehensive search. Even if the enemy is hiding underground, I will definitely find him. "
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, even if we go to the west of the city to search at this moment, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch the enemy. On the contrary, it will cause unnecessary panic among the residents." Sokov said to the lieutenant colonel: "I just hope that after the police When the branch carries out arrest missions, you can send troops to support."
"Comrade Commander, please rest assured. If you need our regiment to do anything, you only need to give an order, and all the commanders and fighters of our regiment will definitely complete it even if they risk their lives."
"Very good." Sokov was very satisfied with the lieutenant colonel's statement. He nodded and continued: "If the German spies hiding in the city are not caught as soon as possible, then they will arrest our army. intelligence and send it to their masters via telegram. This will be very detrimental to us."
"Comrade Commander." Gorishny, who had been silent for a long time, felt that it was time for him to stand up and say a few words. He coughed twice, stood up and said, "Don't worry, as long as the police branch has any needs, our division will All the commanders and fighters will provide their full cooperation.”
After negotiating with Gorishny about cooperating with the operations of the police station, Sokov and Anisimov went to the police station not far away.
The civilian police station is located in a two-story building. There are no fortifications at the door, only two policemen carrying Mosin Nagant rifles on their backs. When they saw Sokov and Anisimov approaching, they quickly raised their hands and saluted.
