"General Sokov," Derevyanko asked Sokov with a smile: "I want to ask a question. When one of your divisions encounters a German infantry division, who can win the final victory?"
Derevyanko’s question reminded Sokov of an idiotic post he would read later. The poster was probably a Japanese activist. He raised a question in his post: When a German battalion encounters a Japanese brigade in World War II, who will win the final victory?
Maybe it was because no one responded to his post, so he just asked himself questions later. It is said that a battalion of the German infantry division is composed of three companies of 140 people and a heavy weapons company of 200 people and a service unit; while a brigade of the Japanese army is composed of a brigade headquarters of 30 people and a transport squadron of 110 people. Composed of four 181-man infantry squadrons, a 174-man machine gun squadron, and a 55-man artillery squadron, they far exceeded the German army in terms of numbers and equipment. From this, he came to the conclusion that when the Japanese and German armies fought, the Japanese army would definitely win in the end.
Sokov thought of this stupid post at this moment, and just wanted to say: Bah! The Japanese pirates only had the Sanba Gaigai, crooked machine guns and a few infantry cannons in their hands to deal with the well-equipped and well-trained German troops. You know, the Soviet army that beat the Japanese pirates to the ground in Nomenkan was also beaten by the Germans to the point where they could not find their way north.
In response to Derevyanko's question, Sokov responded seriously: "General Derevyanko, don't see that the troops under my command have achieved good results in previous battles with the German army. But I I still have to tell you responsibly that if our forces are equal, our chances of winning are not high."
After listening to Sokov's answer, Derevyanko asked again: "General Sokov, since you also admit that when the strength of the troops is equal, the chance of your troops winning is not high. Then how can you guarantee that the infantry How can the 73rd Brigade hold its position in the face of an enemy that is more powerful than them?"
Faced with Derevyanko's doubts, Sokov continued: "If we fight the Germans with equal strength, our chances of winning are indeed low. But if we fight a defensive war, the Germans must at least dispatch Only with troops several times larger than ours can we capture our position."
Seeing Sokov speaking so confidently, Derevyanko wanted to ask a few more questions, but Managarov raised his hand to stop him: "Comrade Chief of Staff, don't discuss this meaningless issue anymore. I believe it." General Sokov said, if the 73rd Infantry Brigade can hold its position, then it can definitely hold it."
Managarov turned around and said to Sokov: "General Sokov, it seems that the Germans are preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the landing site, but your troops are still on the way. Only with the existing strength, can we Guard the landing site?"
"There should be no problem." Sokov has never engaged in passive defense. Since the enemy can attack him, he can also attack them. Seeing that Managarov was worried about his troops, he comforted him and said: "Comrade General, the reason why my troops can achieve good results every time they defend is because we are not conducting passive defense. During the day, the enemy attacks us. At night, I sent troops to attack them. In this way, the enemy's original attack plan was disrupted, thereby reducing the pressure on our frontal defense forces."
Regarding Sokov's statement, Managarov still had a different view: "General Sokov, since you want to disrupt the enemy's offensive deployment, why not take the opportunity to launch a counterattack after the enemy's attack is frustrated? That might be the case If you do it, you can achieve greater results."
"No, Comrade General." After hearing what Managarov said, Sokov immediately realized that this was the difference in tactical thinking between himself and his opponent, and quickly said: "If you counterattack from the front, you may achieve some results in the early stage. But as the German fortifications increase, as well as the strength and weapons and equipment are strengthened, our counterattack will come to a standstill. Once our attack is frustrated and the enemy takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack, our counterattack will end in failure. At the same time, a large number of elite troops will be lost.
As for sneak attacks at night, not many troops are needed, and visibility after dark is limited. Even if a fight breaks out, it will be difficult for the enemy to find out our details, thus making them afraid to act rashly. In this way, our troops can escape intact after completing the sneak attack. "
After listening to Sokov's statement, Managarov thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "General Sokov, maybe you are right. Attacking at night is easier for the Germans to fall into chaos. We can achieve greater results.”
"Comrade Commander, your phone number." While Sokov, Managarov and others were chatting, Samyko held the microphone and said to Sokov: "It's Commander Konev calling."
After learning that the call was from Konev, Sokov realized that something big must be going on. He quickly got up and walked to Samyko, took the phone and put it to his ear and said: "Hello, Comrade Commander of the Front Army, I’m Sokov, what are your instructions?”
"I heard that the German army used three divisions of the 1st Army to launch an attack on the landing site on the right bank?" Konev asked on the phone: "Do you need my help?" "General Sokov," Derevyan Co smiled and asked Sokov: "I want to ask a question. When one of your divisions encounters a German infantry division, who can win the final victory?"
