The reconnaissance efficiency of reconnaissance aircraft is high.
Half an hour after the first reconnaissance plane took off, intelligence feedback came back.
After reading the report of the reconnaissance plane, Samyko reported to Sokov and Managarov: "Comrades, two commanders, according to the reconnaissance plane, the enemy has assembled a large number of troops thirty kilometers downstream of the city. The troops seem to be trying to cross the river."
The German army crossed the river to the left bank of the Dnieper River and attacked Managarov's defense area. Therefore, he was very interested in this reconnaissance information. Before Samek finished reading, he asked: "How many troops does the enemy have?" , mainly from that direction?”
Samyko handed the telegram to Derevyanko and continued: "The enemy has about one division of troops, including a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. Judging from their location, they should come from Onu Friyevka district.”
Onufrievka District, located just south of the landing site on the right bank, was the gathering place for large German troops. Now that the German army has transferred part of its troops to the river to the east, it is believed that the pressure on the front of the landing site will be greatly reduced.
"The enemies crossing the river from the lower reaches do not pose much of a threat to us." Managarov took the telegram from Derevyanko, read it for a while and said: "To the southeast of the city is the Kremenchug Reservoir. , my troops are deployed on the bank of the river that generates electricity for the reservoir. Even if the Germans cross the Dnieper River from the lower reaches, if they want to break through our defense line, they must be prepared for a forced crossing."
Sokov looked at the map in front of him and felt that what Managarov said was very reasonable. The river that provides water for the Klemenko Reservoir is wide. As long as the Soviet army holds on to the bridge, German tanks and armored vehicles cannot pass through at all. They can only choose other areas and even give up heavy weapons attacks.
After reading the map, Sokov raised his head and said to Managarov: "Comrade General, it seems that the focus of the German attack is still in the northwest of the city. The terrain there is flat. As long as the German combat vehicles can cross the river, Your troops will be under tremendous pressure."
"That's right, General Sokov." Managarov nodded and said: "We lack enough anti-tank weapons. Facing the powerful German attack, we will definitely pay a lot of casualties. But it doesn't matter, we All the commanders and fighters understand that as long as they can defeat the enemy and defend our great motherland, no matter how much sacrifice they make, it will be worth it."
Sokov automatically ignored Managarov's cliches and continued: "Comrade General, you should focus your defense on the northwest direction of the city and resolutely prevent the enemy from breaking through your position."
Even though Konev had handed over the 53rd Army to Sokov's command, facing a general like Managarov who was much older and more senior than him, Sokov still maintained enough respect: "You are now You are using your forces evenly and placing your main forces in the northwest and southeast directions of the city. If the German forces attacking from the two directions are of equal strength, your deployment in this way is still remarkable.
But now, according to various indications, the focus of the German attack is in the northwest direction of the city, and your deployment should be adjusted accordingly. Use enough troops to resist the German attack. "
"Chief of Staff," as soon as Sokov finished speaking, Managarov turned to his Chief of Staff Derevyanko and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, please contact the 214th and 233rd Infantry Divisions immediately and understand that they will do their best immediately. Ready to go.”
"Comrade Commander," as soon as Managarov finished speaking, Derevyanko reminded him: "Although there is a barrier from the Kremenchug Reservoir, the number of German troops participating in the attack is almost one division. I'm worried that just Relying on the 252nd Division, I’m afraid it will be difficult to block the enemy’s attack.”
"Comrade General," Sokov persuaded Managarov to focus his defense on the northwest, but by moving two divisions from the southern front at once, it would be equivalent to weakening the defense force in this direction, which is obviously not good. It was appropriate, so he said to Managarov: "There is only one division here on the southern front. The strength is too weak. Do you think we should add more troops?"
"How can I mobilize any troops?" Managarov said with a wry smile: "If there were any, I would have mobilized them to the river."
"Yes, Comrade General." Sokov said with a smile: "You can deploy the troops in the north of the city to defend against the defeated troops from Poltava, and transfer some of them to strengthen the defense in the south."
"Comrade Commander," Derevyanko cautiously suggested to Managarov: "We can move the ski brigade north of the city to the south for defense."
"Comrade General," Sokov saw Managarov's hesitant look and quickly said, "I think it will be enough to transfer one division from the southern front to reinforce it, and then send the 299th Infantry Division Transfer over..."
"No, no, this is definitely not possible." Unexpectedly, after listening to Sokov's proposal, Managarov shook his head desperately and said: "In this way, our defense in the north direction of the city will become weak. If the enemy retreats from the direction of Poltava, what strength can we use to stop them?"
"Comrade General, you don't need to worry about this." Sokov comforted Managarov and said: "My troops are arriving one after another, and the defense work in the north of the city can be handed over to my troops."
