Sokov raised his telescope and looked towards the high ground in the distance. Under the light of the remaining firelight on the hillside, he could see that the hillside was covered with dense corpses. Seeing this scene, Sokov couldn't help but close his eyes in pain. He didn't expect that in order to capture this small high ground, the commanders and fighters of the 300th Division actually paid such a heavy price.
He opened his eyes and continued to observe the situation on the high ground. There was no movement at the top of the mountain at the moment, but that didn't mean there was no one there. The enemy was probably hiding in those smoking fortifications, pointing their guns at the hillside, waiting for the Soviet attack to start again, and they would attack without hesitation. Fire and shoot.
Sokov put down the telescope and turned to Weisbach: "When will your new round of attack start?"
Weisbach raised his hand to look at the time and replied: "Comrade Commander, our attack was repelled by the enemy half an hour ago, and many people were injured and killed. The troops that have been withdrawn now are on the mountainside. Rest in the position, and it will take two hours at the earliest before we can attack again."
"It will take two hours before the attack can be launched again?" Sokov said with a frown: "Doesn't this give the Germans sufficient preparation time?"
"No way," Weisbach replied with a grimace: "These three thousand people originally belonged to different companies. They were pieced together by us temporarily. Cooperation between them is very problematic."
"Comrade Colonel, we have no time. We must launch an attack immediately." Sokov said to Weisbach with a serious expression: "If we delay it any longer, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive at dawn. By then we will It becomes even more impossible to seize the high ground. Therefore, we must speed up the attack and decisively seize the high ground before the enemy's reinforcements arrive."
"But……"
"It's nothing. Every minute on the battlefield is precious and can determine the outcome of the battle." Sokov didn't give Weisbach a chance to defend himself and said to himself: "I'll give you half Within hours, we must launch an attack on the German positions. If you think you can't do it, you can tell me and I will replace this task with someone else."
Weisbach has been in the position of division commander for less than a day. If he is dismissed by Sokov like this, I am afraid that he will not be able to work in the army in the future. As soon as Sokov finished speaking, he immediately expressed his position and said: "Understood, Comrade Commander, I immediately called the position halfway up the mountain and ordered them to attack the enemy's position again in half an hour."
While Weisbach was on the phone, Sokov walked aside and called to Mikhailov and others who came with him: "Captain Mikhailov, it seems that the enemy is fully prepared to attack from the front. , it will only increase casualties. You set off immediately and take a detour to the back of the high ground.
You have two tasks, one is to attack from the enemy's rear, and the other is to cut off the enemy's reinforcements so that the enemies on the highlands cannot be replenished. do you understand? "
"Understood!" Several commanders replied in unison.
"Captain Mikhailev," Sokov waited for everyone to fall silent and then continued to say to Mikhailov: "Since you are the deputy brigade commander, the first and second battalions, as well as the artillery company and machine gun company, are all under your command. .”
Mikhailov quickly glanced at the high ground where the fire was flashing, and asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, don't you plan to have the artillery company and the machine gun company support the friendly forces' attack?"
"There is no need." Sokov waved his hands and said: "There are more than a dozen tanks from the tank battalion parked at the foot of the mountain. They can use artillery fire to suppress the enemy's firepower on the top of the mountain."
Hearing Sokov said that there was no need for artillery and machine gun companies to support the high ground, Mikhailev couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still asked tentatively: "What about my first company? Let them continue to stay here to cooperate. Fight with friendly forces, or follow us back to the enemy's rear?"
If Mikhailov hadn't asked, Sokov would have almost forgotten that Narva's 1st company arrived here earlier than the commanders and fighters of the 300th Division. Since Mikhailov mentioned it, he naturally wanted to understand the situation of Yilian first. He turned to look at Weisbach, who had just put down the phone: "Comrade Colonel, where is Captain Narva's company?"
Weisbach quickly replied: "Comrade Commander, Captain Narva's company has been staying on the mountainside position to assist my troops in the defense." He was worried that Sokov would transfer the company, and specifically emphasized that , "Nowadays, I have fewer and fewer troops at my disposal. If I want to launch an attack on the enemy's position, someone must stay and guard the position halfway up the mountain. And Captain Narva's company is undoubtedly the best candidate."
Sokov is so smart. From Weisbach's words, he can hear his intention not to let Narvarian return to the construction. But considering the actual situation on the battlefield, it is indeed more appropriate to leave the first company on the mountainside position than to move them back. Thinking of this, he said smoothly: "Okay, Comrade Colonel, since you don't have enough troops, let the first company stay in the position halfway up the mountain for the time being."
"Thank you, thank you, Comrade Commander." Upon learning that Sokov planned to let Narvarian stay, Weisbach couldn't help but be overjoyed, and repeatedly assured Sokov: "Narvarian will hold the position." Sokov He raised his telescope and looked towards the high ground in the distance. Under the light of the remaining firelight on the hillside, he could see that the hillside was covered with dense corpses. Seeing this scene, Sokov couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
