Although the scale of the air force's attack was small, according to regulations, Sokov still needed to inform Goryunov about the incident so that the other party would be happy as well.
After the call was connected, Sokov identified himself to the other party and then said: "General Goryunov, your pilots performed very outstandingly in the battle that ended not long ago. Because they successfully destroyed the German Artillery position, thus reducing the possible casualties of our army. On behalf of all the commanders and soldiers of the 27th Group Army, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
After learning that his men had won the first leg, Goryunov was also happy, but he still said politely: "Look what you said, General Sokov, we are friendly forces. In order to achieve the final victory of defeating the enemy, It is absolutely necessary to help each other. By the way, is there anything else you need help with?"
Sokov made this call to Goryunov, firstly to report the squadron's results, and secondly, to see if he could get any benefits from him. Since Goryunov took the initiative to ask, he said smoothly: "Comrade General, after the battle not long ago, your two squadrons have exhausted their ammunition and fuel. Do you think you can give us a flight as soon as possible?" Replenish?"
Since the 5th and 7th Guards Armies launched their attack on Poltava, Goryunov's air force has been in trouble. Due to the strong anti-aircraft firepower in the city of Poltava, every time they attack, they will lose three soldiers. Five aircraft. Although the quantity is not much, it adds up to a big loss, which is not a small loss. For this reason, Goryunov often drank in his office to relieve his sorrow.
But as air cover was provided for the landing site on the right bank, things seemed to be changing. Before dawn yesterday, a bomber aviation division was dispatched to bomb the German 8th Armored Division lurking near Outpost No. 1 of the landing site, wiping out two-thirds of the division's strength in one fell swoop. But today, just two squadrons attacked and easily destroyed a German artillery position.
Goryunov knew that his good luck was brought about by Sokov, so he was extremely generous with his request: "No problem, General Sokov, I will order someone to help those two flying airplanes as soon as possible." The squadron provides supplies of ammunition and fuel.”
After the two chatted for a while about the next stage of cooperation, Goryunov suddenly asked: "General Sokov, I would like to ask, after you take Kremenchug, will the city still be intact?"
"Complete, of course, complete." Although Sokov didn't know why Goryunov asked this, he still answered truthfully: "Because the 98th Guards Division that captured the city infiltrated into the city disguised as German troops, Without alerting the enemy, the city was successfully captured without too much fighting.”
"Are the shops and restaurants in town open?"
Goryunov's question really stopped Sokov. Even though he had been staying in Kremenchug for a long time, he really didn't know what the situation was like outside. He quickly covered the microphone with his hand, looked around, and found that neither Lunev nor Gorokhov was there, so he asked General Tsarev at the next table: "Comrade Military Commissar, I would like to ask, what is the current situation in the city?" What's the situation inside, are the restaurants and shops open?"
The reason why Sokov raised such a question to Tsarev is because since the past two days, Lunev has been taking the lead, with Gorokhov and Tsarev as his deputies, responsible for handling various aftermath tasks in the city. .
"Comrade Commander," after hearing Sokov's question, Tsarev quickly replied: "In those areas that have not experienced fighting, shops and restaurants have begun to open. After all, there are so many people in the city, there must be someone to buy. A place for food and groceries.”
From Tsarev's words, Sokov heard that there were still many places that had not yet opened, and quickly asked what he meant: "Are there many places that have not yet opened?"
"Quite a few," Tsarev asked hesitantly: "Because the enemy was stubbornly resisting in certain areas, in order to seize these areas occupied by the enemy, we used heavy weapons and destroyed the buildings there in pieces, including the shops. And the restaurant didn’t escape the bad luck.”
Eager to know more details about the situation in the city, Sokov released his hand covering the microphone and said: "General Goryunov, some restaurants and shops in the city have resumed normal business. We will wait for you when you arrive." I’ll treat you to a meal when you arrive in Kremenchug.”
"Okay, then we have an agreement." Goryunov said with a smile: "There is a restaurant in Kremenchug that serves Salo. It is very authentic. I used to eat it every time I went there. I don't know how. Is it possible to eat such authentic Salou?”
The so-called Salo is actually a kind of fatty pork marinated in salt. It is a well-known traditional delicacy in Russia and Ukraine. It has a history of thousands of years. Because of its high fat content, it can bring good energy reserves to people. So Salou is also known as the "cold delicacy".
Hearing that Goryunov wanted to eat Salo, Sokov naturally couldn't disappoint him, so he smiled and said: "No problem, comrade general, when you come to Kremenchug, I will definitely treat you to authentic food." Salo.”
After putting down the phone, Sokov, who was focused on the military, felt that he should also care about people's livelihood, so he looked at Tsarev and asked: "General Tsarev, has the rationing system been implemented in the city?"
"Two days ago, we were counting the population in the city and issuing ration certificates to them." Tsarev replied: "Starting from eight o'clock today, residents in the city can go to the designated location to collect the ration certificates with all their ration certificates. Food rations and some daily necessities.”
Sokov thought that both Lunev and Gorokhov were not here, so he asked tentatively: "Are Generals Lunev and Gorokhov responsible for supervising this matter?"
"That's right." Tsarev nodded and replied: "The two comrades of the military commissar were worried that today was the first day to use ration certificates, and the local residents might not be used to it, so they went to the city in person to inspect. If any problems were found , can be resolved in a timely manner.”
Sokov felt that the two military commissars were very considerate. The city of Kremenchug was lost within three months of the outbreak of the war. I am afraid that the residents have not seen what a ration card looks like. It is very important to them. I still have doubts about whether I can receive the food and daily necessities I need at the designated location, so I will inevitably have some resistance. But with two military commissioners in charge, problems are less likely to arise.
"Comrade General," Sokov felt that the air force destroyed the German artillery position today, and there shouldn't be much fighting in the direction of the landing site. Besides, Samyko and Derevyanko are here. If anything happens, the two of them can handle it well. All right, he asked Managarov with a smile: "Comrade General, would you like to go out for a walk with me?" Although the scale of the Air Force attack was small, according to regulations, Sokov still needed to report the matter to Goliu. Nov announced, making the other party happy as well.
After the call was connected, Sokov identified himself to the other party and then said: "General Goryunov, your pilots performed very outstandingly in the battle that ended not long ago.

When Managarov heard Sokov's invitation, he nodded slightly and said, "I'm happy to accompany you!"
