"Comrade Sokov, I'm calling you because I hope you can cover and assist the 7th Guards Army in crossing the river." Zakharov waited for Sokov to finish and then added with a smile: "I didn't expect you. Not only has this been taken into consideration, but it has also been implemented.”
Sokov understands the current situation very well and will never become complacent and get carried away just because of Zakharov's few words of praise. After he waited for the other party to finish speaking, he said cautiously: "Comrade Chief of Staff of the Front Army, although my troops have occupied Jinki Town and temporarily eliminated the threat of the enemy blocking the Dnieper River with artillery fire, if the 7th Guards Army wants to successfully cross the river, It’s still not an easy thing.”
"Why?"
"The enemy cannot block the river with artillery fire. They may dispatch the air force to bomb the troops crossing the river." Although Sokov did not intend to ask Goryunov for help, he still kindly reminded Zakharov: "In order to ensure the crossing of the river, All goes well, I’m afraid the superiors will dispatch the air force to cooperate with General Shumilov’s actions.”
"You reminded me very timely, General Sokov." Zakharov heard what Sokov said and said with emotion: "If you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot that the enemy's air force is still very powerful and they are fully capable. It caused huge losses to the troops crossing the river. I will contact General Goryunov shortly and ask him to dispatch the necessary fighter planes to provide the necessary air cover for the ground troops."
"Speed, Comrade Chief of Staff of the Front Army." Sokov warned worriedly: "Whether the 7th Guards Army can establish a stable landing site on the right bank depends entirely on their crossing speed."
"I understand, I understand." Zaharov said repeatedly: "General Shumilov's troops can only reduce losses by crossing the river as quickly as possible. I will discuss this issue with Comrade Commander later and see if we can What kind of help can be provided to them.”

At dawn, engineers of the 7th Guards Army repaired the pontoon bridge on the Dnieper River.
The pontoon bridge had just been repaired, and the 111th Guards Division, which had been waiting on the shore for a long time, immediately took the company as a unit, formed a three-way column, trotted across the pontoon bridge, and rushed to the right bank to join the commanders and fighters of the 188th Division there.
The 2nd Guards Regiment was the first to cross the bridge. When they arrived at the right bank, the company commander who was walking at the front saw a lieutenant colonel standing on the bank. He quickly ran over and raised his hand to salute him. Respectfully said: "Hello, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I am the commander of the first battalion and first company of the second regiment of the 111th Guards Division. Who are you?"
"Hello, comrade captain." The lieutenant colonel stretched out his hand to hold the first company commander's hand, and replied with a smile: "Let me introduce myself, I am Lieutenant Colonel Majevo, commander of the 562nd Regiment of the 188th Infantry Division. I was ordered to be here. Came to greet you.”
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Majevo called an officer and told him: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, take this captain and his troops to the place we have arranged for them."
The second lieutenant agreed, and then said to the first company commander: "Comrade Captain, we have prepared a defensive area for you a long time ago. I will take you there right now."
After his subordinates left with the first company commander, Majewo continued to stand by the river, waiting for the leader of the Guards Regiment who would arrive at an unknown time.
Major Golia, commander of the second battalion, came over and asked: "Comrade commander, do the two anti-aircraft machine guns we captured need to be deployed by the river immediately?"
The two 14.5 mm caliber quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns captured by the Second Battalion had been regarded as treasures by Majevo and were easily reluctant to be used because Sokov once said that they could be used for horizontal fire against German armored vehicles and infantry.
At this moment, after hearing Goliath's inquiry, he thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "Comrade Major, just place those two anti-aircraft machine guns by the river. If the German planes are really coming, they can hit them hard." Teach them a lesson."
Golia agreed, turned around and left, preparing to go back to his camp to gather men and deploy the two captured anti-aircraft machine guns by the river to guard against possible enemy planes.
Before the anti-aircraft machine guns were deployed, more than a dozen enemy planes appeared in the sky.
The German commander saw countless people moving on the pontoon bridge on the river, and excitedly conveyed an order to his subordinates: "The Russian pontoon bridge was found below. All aircraft immediately lowered their altitude and prepared to drop bombs to blow up the pontoon bridge on the river; use Machine gun fire on the bridge and the Russians who fell into the water..."
The enemy planes who received the order lowered their flying altitude and dived towards the pontoon bridge on the Dnieper River. When the distance was about the same, they successively dropped the aerial bombs carried by the plane.
However, the aerial bombs that fell from the sky did not hit the pontoon bridge, but fell around the bridge and exploded. Water columns rose into the sky, and the splashing water drenched the soldiers on the pontoon bridge.
"Comrade Sokov, I'm calling you because I hope you can cover and assist the 7th Guards Army in crossing the river." Zakharov waited for Sokov to finish and then added with a smile: "I didn't expect you. Not only has this been taken into consideration, but it has also been implemented.”
