"Misha, are you free now?" As soon as Sokov ended the call with Samyko, Yakov hurried in: "I have something to tell you."
After Tsvetaev saw clearly that the person coming was Yakov, he smiled and nodded at him, then walked to the corner of the headquarters, sat on a bench and lit a cigarette.
"Yasha," Sokov didn't expect Yakov to come to him at this time, and asked in surprise: "Why did you come to my place?"
"Misha," Yakov said angrily, sitting opposite Sokov, "I came here to see you for an important matter."
"Important thing?" Sokov asked in surprise: "What important thing?"
"My hovercraft detachment has suffered some malfunctions after transporting the tank brigade across the bridge." Yakov said dissatisfied: "Now we have to transport artillery and supporting artillery shells across the river. This is the plan for my hovercraft detachment to transport the tank brigade across the bridge." Is there a pace for complete reimbursement?”
After figuring out what was going on, Sokov felt it was necessary to make Yakov understand that the artillery and a large number of shells were being transported across the river at this moment just to confuse the enemy. He laughed twice, handed the cigarette case on the table to the other party, and said: "Yakov, I'm sorry, I didn't explain the problem clearly. We transported artillery across the river just to confuse the Germans." It’s just an action.”
"A move to confuse the Germans?" Yakov took the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, but did not light it immediately. He asked in confusion: "What do you mean, I don't quite understand?"
"That's it, Yasha." Sokov told Yakov in detail about the wrong information that the Supreme Commander himself had reported to the military attachés of various countries, as well as the combat missions assigned to him by his superiors in order to make up for this mistake. Finally, Said: "...In order to make the Germans think that we are going to choose the breakthrough point in the direction of the left wing landing field, we will use hovercraft to transport artillery in a big way..."
"Wait a minute, Misha." As soon as Sokov said this, he was interrupted by Yakov raising his hand. The latter frowned and asked: "What did you just say, transport only one artillery regiment to the east bank of the Oude River to establish an artillery position?"
"That's right." Sokov nodded and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem, and the problem is big." Yakov threw the cigarette in his mouth on the table, stood up suddenly, and said to Sokov: "I'm afraid the artillery and ammunition staying by the river now There’s more than one division, right?”
"What's going on?" This time it was Sokov's turn to be confused. He turned to look at Tsvetaev who was sitting in the corner smoking, and greeted politely: "Comrade General, please come here."
When he heard Sokov calling him, Tsvetayev quickly threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, crushed it with his toes, and walked over quickly. At the same time, he asked: "General Sokov, what happened?" Something happened?"
Sokov pointed at Yakov and said to Tsvetayev: "Comrade General, Colonel Yakov told me that there are more than one artillery division waiting for artillery and ammunition to cross the river. I think Ask, is there something wrong?"
If someone else had said this, Tsvetaev might have asked whether the other party's source of information was reliable, but since Yakov said this, the situation was different. He quickly said politely to Yakov: "Colonel Yakov, can you tell me the specific situation?"
Yakov was still a little angry at first, but seeing that Tsvetayev was so polite to him, he calmed down the anger on his face and replied: "After the hovercraft unit transported an artillery regiment across the river, we are overhauling the ship. Suddenly a general came and asked us to immediately send all the remaining artillery pieces and matching ammunition to the other side..."
From Yakov's story, Sokov and Tsvetaev figured out what happened. It turned out that an artillery division commander was planning to have Yakov's hovercraft detachment transport all the remaining artillery pieces of the division. Go to the east coast. Because he was rejected by Yakov, he became furious with him and even threatened to send him to a military court.
"So that's what happened." After figuring out what happened, Tsvetayev was suddenly startled into a cold sweat. He didn't expect that someone under his command would dare to threaten Yakov. In order to prevent the gaffe from spreading, he took the initiative Asked Sokov: "General Sokov, leave this matter to me. I can solve the matter in a quarter of an hour at most."
After Tsvetayev left, Sokov asked Yakov to sit down again and asked him curiously: "Yasha, during the battle to liberate Belgorod and Kharkov, how many of your hovercraft units were there?" It has played a huge role. I would like to ask, how long can these hovercrafts be used?"
"Misha, there are no outsiders here, I can tell you truthfully." Yakov heard Sokov's question, with a serious expression on his face: "Due to the overload of the hovercraft, all the spare parts we brought have been used up. At this point, he saw that Sokov seemed to want to say something, so he raised his hand to stop him, and continued, "You might say that there are no spare parts and they can be mobilized from the direction of Moscow. Sorry, this is so far. Once all the spare parts produced are used up, they cannot be replenished for at least half a year.”
"Yasha, judging by your tone, once these hovercrafts break down, we won't have the chance to use them again for at least half a year?"
"That's true." After Yakov answered this question, he couldn't help but ask Sokov: "Misha, can your troops really rush into Kharkov before dark?"
"Yasha, you and I are both friends, and I don't want to hide some things from you." Sokov suppressed the smile on his face and said solemnly: "Although I already have Zhou Xiang's plan, will I be able to do it when I execute it?" When an accident happens, no one can explain it. All I can say to you is that I will do my best."
Yakov can understand Sokov's statement. After all, hundreds of thousands of troops are now fighting fiercely with the Germans in all directions in Kharkov. Sokov is not a god descending from heaven, so how can he say a breakthrough? What about breaking through the enemy's defense line? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about Sokov: "Misha, if you really can't break through the enemy's defense line and rush into Kharkov before dark, will you be in trouble?"
"Yasha, I have already said that I will do my best." Sokov stated clearly: "Even if we cannot break through the enemy's defense line before dark, we will continue to attack until we complete the orders from our superiors."
Sokov's words were heard by Tsvetaev who had just returned. He said with some surprise: "General Sokov, you said that even if you can't break through the enemy's defense line before dark, you won't be able to break through after dark." Will the attack continue?"
"Exactly, Comrade General." "Misha, are you free now?" As soon as Sokov ended the call with Samyko, Yakov hurried in: "I have something to tell you. "
After Tsvetaev saw clearly that the person coming was Yakov, he smiled and nodded at him, then walked to the corner of the headquarters, sat on a bench and lit a cigarette.
