"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov quickly heard Samyko's voice and said quickly: "I would like to ask how many new rockets are currently in stock?"

"Inventory of new rockets?" Samyko did not expect Sokov to ask this when he came up. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "Comrade Commander, please wait a moment while I check the data."

"Well, come on, I'm anxious to know the remaining numbers."

Sameko picked up the notepad on the table and flipped through it quickly: "Comrade Commander, in addition to the ones allocated to each division, the Army Logistics Department also has 174 in stock."

"Ah, only 174?" Sokov repeated the number and muttered: "So few."

"That's quite a lot, Comrade Commander." Samyko said: "Even with four 12-barreled rocket launchers, you can fire almost four salvos." He thought Sokov planned to bombard the town of Ratseve with new rockets. , also specifically emphasized, "I think the firepower output of the 1st Artillery Division, even without the help of new rockets, is enough to level the town of Ratsewe."

"You are mistaken, Comrade Chief of Staff." Sokov knew that Samyko had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained to him: "The town of Ratseve has long been destroyed by the powerful artillery fire of our army, there is no need to stay there anymore. A waste of valuable new rockets.”

Knowing that Sokov did not plan to use the new rockets in the town of Ratseve, Samyko asked with some surprise: "Then where do you plan to use them?"

"Jingji Town!"

"Jingji Town?!"

"Yes, that's right there."

"But, Comrade Commander," Samek said in confusion, "Isn't that place already occupied by the German army?"

"You are right. I have already issued a combat order to General Fomenko, asking the Rusov Regiment to advance near the town of Jinki and try to capture the town. Even if the town cannot be captured, at least it must expel the German artillery deployed nearby. Preventing them from blocking the Dnieper River with artillery fire." Sokov continued: "In order to achieve this combat goal as soon as possible, a large number of new rockets are needed."

After figuring out Sokov's intention, Samyko thought for a few seconds and then said: "Comrade Commander, I think the existing reserves are more than enough for the Rusov Regiment to use. You know, they only have one The strength of the regiment, if there are too many new rockets, they will not be able to carry them."

Sokov raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the forehead. He only thought that the more new rockets the troops carried, the greater the damage they would cause to the enemy, but he forgot that Rusov's troops only had one regiment. , and they are still weakened in the battle. Giving them 174 rockets is more than enough. Any more will affect the mobility of the troops.

"Okay then." Sokov made a decision at this moment: "Send someone to send these rockets over immediately. I plan to let the Rusov regiment bring these rockets when they attack."

"Comrade Commander, I will make arrangements immediately." Sameko quickly promised: "I assure you that these rockets will be delivered to the commanders and fighters of the Rusov Regiment before dawn."

As soon as Sokov put down the phone, he called Fomenko in front of him and said to him: "General Fomenko, call Colonel Rusov to me immediately. I have something to ask him."

Rusuf's regiment command post was not far from here, and he trotted over immediately after receiving the call.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Sokov and Fomenko standing in the middle of the headquarters. According to the doctrine, Rusov was Fomenko's subordinate, and he should first salute his division commander. But he knew very well in his heart that even though it was the division commander who called him, it must be Sokov who had something to tell him.

So he first saluted Sokov: "Hello, Comrade Commander!"

Fomenko was not angry at Rusov's actions, but nodded slightly. He felt that his regiment leader was quite sensible and knew to salute Sokov first.

"Comrade Colonel," Sokov said after raising his hand to return the salute: "Have the missions of your regiment been clear?"

"Clear!"

"Repeat that."

Rusuf quickly glanced at Fomenko, and when he saw him nodding slightly towards him, he raised his head and said: "The mission of our regiment is to quickly penetrate near the town of Jingji and launch an attack on the German troops in the town. Even if If we cannot capture the town, we must also force the German artillery positions to move so that they cannot block the river with artillery fire to ensure that friendly forces can cross the river smoothly."

Sokov nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Comrade Colonel, you remember the mission very clearly."

Seeing Rusuf grinning stupidly, he asked again: "How long does it take for your group to reach Jingji Town?"

"Half an hour at most, Comrade Commander." Rusuf said confidently: "Our regiment's bicycles are basically intact, which can ensure that our maneuvering speed is not affected. If you order us to attack now, I assure you that we will We can definitely capture Jingji Town before dawn."

"You can rush to Jinki Town in half an hour. It's very fast." Sokov turned to Fomenko and said: "Maybe the Germans haven't figured out what's going on. Colonel Rusov's troops have already appeared in front of him." In front of..."

Sokov's words came to an abrupt end here. He remembered that he called Sameko not long ago and asked him to arrange for manpower to send the new rockets over as soon as possible. Now he was faced with two choices: one was to adopt Rusuf's suggestion and set off immediately, catching the Germans by surprise before they recovered, and easily capturing the town.

The second is to follow the original plan, wait for Sameko to send people to deliver new rockets, and then let the Rusuf regiment set off. In that case, it will probably take a fierce battle to capture the town.

Sokov did not speak, but walked back and forth in the headquarters with his hands behind his back, thinking about which method to use to capture Jinji Town.

"Comrade Commander," Fomenko suddenly asked, "Are you hesitating whether you should let the Rusov regiment carry out a sneak attack on Jingji Town, or whether you want to wait for the new rockets to be delivered before launching a strong attack on the town. ?”

"Yes, I'm thinking about this issue." Although Sokov comes from a later generation, he still maintains respect for the people of this era, because their IQs are no worse than his own. If you ask them more for advice, maybe you will Having unexpected gains, he asked the other party politely: "General Fomenko, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Comrade Commander, I think you may have fallen into a misunderstanding." Fomenko said with a smile: "I have been thinking about whether the Rusov regiment should go directly to Jinji Town, or should wait for the new rockets from behind. After delivering it, let them attack the town. Am I right?"

"Yes, General Fomenko, you are right." Seeing Fomenko reveal his thoughts, Sokov nodded and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Comrade Commander, in fact, the attack on Jingji Town is a sneak attack, not a forceful attack. There is no need for the whole regiment to press forward. It is enough to invest one or two battalions." Fomenko said: "The remaining troops stay here. Waiting for the new rockets sent from the rear. Maybe by the time the supplies from the rear arrive, Jingji Town will have returned to the hands of our army."

After listening to Fomenko's words, Sokov realized that he had got something wrong. Since it was a sneak attack, he only needed to use one battalion, or at most two battalions, to seize the town, and the troops who did not participate in the battle could be left behind. Here we are waiting for supplies from the rear.

After thinking about this, Sokov said to Fomenko: "General Fomenko, you are right, I did not think carefully. Then the Rusov regiment set off immediately, leaving a battalion waiting for the rear to arrive. Supplies. By the time the supplies arrive, Jingji Town may have been captured long ago, and then the battalion left behind will transport the supplies there to strengthen the defense."

"Colonel Rusov," Seeing that Sokov agreed to his proposal, Fomenko said to Rusov: "You immediately set off with the first and second battalions and try to attack the town of Jinki before the Germans react. Go down to the third battalion and wait here for supplies from the rear. Do you understand?"

"Understood, comrade division commander." Rusuf replied resoundingly: "I will lead the troops to attack immediately."

A quarter of an hour later, Rusuf took the commanders and fighters of the first and second battalions and rode his bicycle in the direction of Jingji Town. Although it was still dark, the fire in Ratsewe Town illuminated their way forward.

"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov quickly heard Samyko's voice and said quickly: "I would like to ask how many new rockets are currently in stock?"

"Inventory of new rockets?" Samyko did not expect Sokov to ask this when he came up. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "Comrade Commander, please wait a moment while I check the data."
