Counterattack on the front of the landing site, the offensive troops advanced rapidly. Sameko looked at the battle report and compared it with the place names mentioned above.
After Sameko put down the battle report, he smiled and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, if our troops advance at the current speed, we will be able to wedge into the German defenses two to three kilometers in depth before dark. "
Derevyanko on the side was filled with envy when he heard what Samyko said. Our own troops could only carry out a difficult defense in the northwest of the city, but the troops of the 27th Army did not counterattack. As soon as they launched a counterattack, they completely defeated the German defenses south of the landing site and had the opportunity to wedge themselves deep into the German defenses. .
But before Derevyanko could speak, he saw Sokov shaking his head, and then responded firmly to Samyko: "Comrade Chief of Staff, no, our troops cannot enter the depth of the German defenses."
Samyko naturally knew what Sokov was worried about, and reminded him politely: "Comrade Commander, due to the smooth progress of the troops, the two divisions we originally planned to participate in the counterattack have not yet entered the battle. I think it is completely okay. Put them all into battle before dark, maybe we can achieve greater results this way."
Sokov didn't want to eliminate a few more enemies, but he knew better that the reason why the counterattack at the landing site was going smoothly was simply because the German 1st Army Group commanded by General Blaskowitz had no experience fighting his own troops. Then they used the tactics they used to deal with other Soviet troops to deal with themselves. When you use heavy artillery to bombard the opponent's position, the opponent may think that you are just bluffing to force them to withdraw their left bank troops.
General Blaskowitz's underestimation of the enemy allowed him to achieve the desired results so easily. If you continue to fight, your troops will definitely be able to achieve results and even penetrate deeper into the German defense line. But it won't be long before the German army comes to their senses and reinforcements arrive, and then the troops that penetrate deep into the enemy's defense line will be Become a lone army. At that time, let alone continue to destroy the enemy, it is still unknown whether they can escape intact.
It was out of this consideration that Sokov shook his head and said resolutely: "Comrade Chief of Staff, when we made the counterattack plan, my principle was a limited counterattack. Now that our combat goal has been achieved, There is no need to create extraneous problems. If German reinforcements come up, our troops who penetrate deep into the enemy's rear defenses may be encircled and become a lone army."
Derevyanko, who was standing not far away, approached Managarov and whispered: "Comrade Commander, I think you can persuade General Sokov that the current situation is very favorable to our army. If we continue to attack , maybe we can achieve greater results."
"Comrade Chief of Staff, you are right." Managarov turned to look at Derevyanko and said in the same low voice: "If the troops of the 27th Group Army advance towards the enemy's defense area, they may be able to achieve greater success. Big results. But have you ever considered that although we do not lack logistical supplies now, the numbers we have cannot support us in launching a large-scale offensive operation. If the troops of the 27th Group Army continue to advance and are surrounded by the enemy, , how can they break through the enemy's defense when they are short of ammunition and supplies?"
When Managarov said the next part, he was a little excited and involuntarily raised his voice, which happened to be heard by Sokov. Sokov quickly used his topic to continue: "That's right, Comrade General. We can't just see that the situation in front of us is beneficial to us and underestimate the enemy. If one or two troops are really killed because of the rash advance, We were surrounded and even wiped out by the Germans. In this way, not only our strength was weakened, but also the morale and morale of the military were affected."
After Sokov explained to everyone the reasons why he would not expand the results of the counterattack, everyone began to think about what he said. After some thinking, I have to admit that the situation he mentioned will most likely occur. When that happens, it will be extremely joyful and sad.
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Sokov ordered Samyko: "Chief of Staff, send a report to the forward troops. Once they reach the designated counterattack position, they will stop advancing. Wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and hand over the defense to them, then withdraw to the original position." garrison area."
When Samyko followed Sokov's order and sent a telegram to the troops at the landing site, Runev came in from the outside. After greeting Managarov and others, he walked up to Sokov and asked with a smile: "Comrade Commander, are you free now?"
Sokov did not immediately answer whether he was available, but asked: "Comrade Military Commissar, what can I do?"
"Can you come out for a moment?" Lunev glanced at where Managarov and others were sitting, then whispered: "There are a few soldiers outside who want to see you."
"A soldier wants to see me?" When Sokov learned that there was a soldier outside who wanted to see him, his first reaction was to firmly refuse. Just kidding, I command nearly 100,000 troops. If I go to meet every soldier who wants to see me, I won't have time to do other things.
The words of rejection were on his lips at first, but when he thought about it, Lunev asked himself so solemnly that maybe these soldiers had extraordinary origins, so he changed his mind temporarily. He stood up and said to Lunev: "Comrade Military Commissar, take me to see where they are."
Seeing that Sokov agreed to meet those soldiers, Lunev showed a faint smile on his face: "Comrade Commander, please come with me, and I will take you to meet them."
As the two of them left the church and walked across the square, Sokov couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Military Commissar, where are you going to take me?"
Lunev smiled lightly and said: "Comrade Commander, don't be anxious, you will know when you get to the place."
