The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Division did not know that their division commander had escaped. Facing the Soviet troops coming from all directions, they were still desperately resisting.
If they were only attacking ordinary Soviet troops and encountered such tenacious resistance, the war might fall into a stalemate, or even be repelled by their continuous small-scale counterattacks.
But when they encountered Sokov's troops, they could only count themselves as unlucky. Once they discover where the German troops are gathering and prepare to launch a counterattack, the attacking troops will use rocket attacks to destroy the enemies gathered together.
As for the enemy's solid firepower, it is nothing to mention. A machine gun firepower point hidden in a bunker would require at least a dozen lives to blow up if it were an ordinary troop. As for Sokov's troops, they sent soldiers carrying rocket launchers to approach the bunker, and a single rocket killed the enemy's firepower. If one rocket can't do the job, use two rockets.
According to Sokov's vision, if the infantry brigade serving as the first echelon advances less than five kilometers, it may be necessary to replace them with the marine brigade of the second echelon. Unexpectedly, when the battle continued until dark, the infantry brigade actually advanced eight kilometers. The commanders and soldiers not only did not feel tired, but became more energetic as they fought.
The brigade commander, Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov, even said with confidence when reporting the battle situation to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, don't worry, according to my observation, the enemy standing in front of us is simply vulnerable. You also Don’t call any Marine battalion to replace us, I am confident that we can continue fighting until we join forces with friendly forces.”
Although the infantry brigade is progressing smoothly at the moment, as the German army begins to shrink in the same direction, the resistance they encounter will become increasingly tenacious. Out of this consideration, Sokov said into the microphone: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I solemnly tell you now that if your brigade advances two kilometers, it must stop and rest. The 62nd Marine Brigade will Connect with your offensive, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, Comrade Commander." After hearing Sokov's order, Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov said aggrievedly: "My troops are progressing so smoothly, but you told me to stop. If the commanders and soldiers ask questions , how should I answer them?"
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel," Sokov said sternly into the microphone: "The enemies defeated by our army are gathering in one place. That is to say, the further you advance, the more German troops you will encounter. The greater the number, the stronger the resistance will be. In this case, it is necessary to temporarily halt your troops and allow the Marine Brigade following you to take over the attack."
Hearing what Sokov said, Uzakov realized that it would be a matter of time before his troops stopped attacking, and it was useless to argue. He asked reluctantly: "Comrade Commander, when the Marine Corps battalion's attack is frustrated, can we arrange for our brigade to continue the attack?"
"I have already said that the attack launched from north to south will be carried out by your three brigades in turns." Sokov continued: "In other words, when the attack of the 62nd Marine Brigade is frustrated, the 84th Brigade will take over. Their attack. When the attack launched by the 84th Brigade fails, it will be your brigade's turn to fight. Now, do you understand?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander, everything is clear." Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov nodded and replied: "I will assign the task immediately and let everyone be mentally prepared."
Sokov ended the call and handed the headset and microphone back to the operator. Colonel Chuvashov, who was standing aside, suddenly said: "Comrade Commander, I have a problem with you."
"Do you have any objections to me?" Sokov said confusedly: "Tell me what you have to say about me?"
"You look down on our brigade." Chuvashov said unconvinced: "I heard you talking on the phone with Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov, saying that if our brigade cannot break through the enemy's defense line, they will put their brigade into battle again. "Comrade Commander, do you think our brigade is so weak?"
When Sokov heard what Colonel Chuvashov said, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, secretly shouting that he was in trouble, he was in trouble. You know, in today's Soviet army, the most powerful troops are the water drawn from various fleets. Compared with ordinary army soldiers, sailors are highly educated and generally undergo professional military training, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the army. But when he was on the phone just now, he mentioned that the two Marine Brigades might not be able to break through the enemy. Such a statement would definitely hurt Colonel Chuvashov's self-esteem.
After figuring out what was going on, Sokov quickly apologized to Chuvashov with a smile: "Comrade Colonel, in my mind, the most combat-effective branch of our army is your sailors. You know, in many battles , the attacks launched by the army were repelled time and time again by the enemy, but as long as the sailors were put into battle, the enemy's defense line could be broken through quickly. In this attack, the reason why I only used three brigades on the front was Just considering that the combat effectiveness of two Marine Corps brigades is stronger than that of two infantry divisions..."
Sokov’s explanation finally brought a smile back to Chuvashov’s face: “Comrade Commander, when it is our brigade’s turn to participate in the battle later, I will definitely let you see our true strength. I can't guarantee that we can defeat more with less; but with equal forces, we can definitely defeat the enemy."
The attack from north to south went smoothly, but the attack from south to north of the 384th Division commanded by Major General Gritsenko did not go smoothly. Because they had to face not only the Imperial Division, but also two ordinary German divisions. After launching three attacks on the enemy's defense line without making any progress, Gritsenko became a little anxious. He called several of his regiment commanders and asked loudly: "What's going on with you? How many people started the battle?" It's been a few hours, but you still haven't been able to capture the enemy's position. You know, the troops attacking from north to south have advanced a full ten kilometers. Our division's performance in the battle was so poor. From now on, I will serve as commander How can you raise your head in front of me?"
Facing Major General Gritsenko's roar, a lieutenant colonel said tremblingly: "Comrade division commander, the enemy's firepower is too fierce. We don't have artillery, so it is difficult to suppress them. So that the soldiers have to fight without any fire cover." Under such circumstances, launch an attack on the enemy's position."
"Asshole." Major General Gritsenko was so angry that he slapped the table in front of him and asked sternly: "Where are your regiment's new rockets, and where are the rockets?"
The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Division did not know that their division commander had escaped. Facing the Soviet troops coming from all directions, they were still desperately resisting.
If they were only attacking ordinary Soviet troops and encountered such tenacious resistance, the war might fall into a stalemate, or even be repelled by their continuous small-scale counterattacks.
