"Yasha, although you are from the Weapons and Equipment Department, you must be able to understand the situation at the frontier through specialized channels." Sokov did not answer Yakov's question immediately, but looked at him and asked: " Am I right?"
"That's right." Since the two were friends, Yakov naturally had no need to hide anything. He nodded and said, "We do have a special intelligence channel to understand the progress of the war on the front line, and based on this, we will Carry out the distribution of weapons and equipment. Misha, what do you want to ask?"
"I would like to ask how my troops are doing now. Have they captured Alexandria and Kirovgrad?"
"Misha, I regret to tell you, no." Yakov shook his head and said: "At least for a long period of time, it is impossible for your troops to attack the two cities mentioned above?"
"Why?" Sokov asked puzzledly: "You know, as the German defense line south of the landing site was breached, the 254th and 300th Divisions responsible for the assault mission were only a few dozen kilometers away from Alexandria. As long as Maintaining the original advancement speed, we can reach the outside of the city in one day at most..."
"Misha, the situation changed after you were injured." Yakov interrupted Sokov before he could finish his words: "The plan to attack south has been cancelled."
"Cancelled?" When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry: "Who, who changed my battle plan without authorization?" Because he was too excited, he accidentally pulled the wound again, and he groaned in pain. .
"Misha, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Sokov held his breath, using this method to relieve the pain from the wound. When the pain subsided a little, he couldn't wait to ask: "Yasha, tell me who modified my battle plan without authorization."
"Misha, since you were injured, General Konev quickly appointed Lieutenant General Trofimenko as the commander of the 27th Group Army." Yakov said helplessly: "After he took office, The first thing is to modify your original battle plan to prevent the troops from continuing to attack south."
When he learned that Trofimenko, who had succeeded him, had revised his battle plan, Sokov gritted his teeth and asked, "Did he report the revised plan?"
"That's right, after he modified your battle plan, he immediately reported it to General Konev." Yakov said with a wry smile: "When fighting in a large corps, it is originally the most taboo to modify the battle plan casually. , but after General Konev read the newly revised plan, he readily agreed."
"Why, why?" Sokov asked several reasons: "Why did General Konev readily agree to his revised plan? Is there any inside story in it?"
"Actually, this matter is related to General Shumilov's 7th Guards Army." Yakov said seriously: "Although they established a new landing site with your help, they were constantly attacked by the German army. attack, the situation is extremely dangerous."
Sokov worriedly said that the 7th Guards Army was under attack. Does it have a kopeck relationship with me? Since I led my troops to withdraw from the Qijilin area, I have completely severed ties with them. Moreover, there are powerful assault groups of friendly forces on their left and right wings, which can provide them with assistance at any time.
Yakov seemed to see through Sokov's thoughts, and without waiting for him to speak, he continued: "The plan proposed by Trofimenko is for the 27th Army to attack those who try to seize the landing site from the southeast of the Chigilin area. The Germans launched an offensive and thereby rescued the 7th Guards Army from danger."
After Yakov's introduction, Sokov immediately understood that after Lieutenant General Trofimenko took over his position, he immediately took the initiative to ask Konev for help, willing to attack from the existing area and flank the German army's rear, thus mitigating the Pressure from the 7th Guards Army. Although this disrupted the 27th Army's southward development strategy, it could free the landing site established by the 7th Guards Army from its current predicament.
As the commander of the front army, when Konev received Trofimenko's combat plan, although he felt that it was a pity to abandon the strategy of developing southward. But in order to resolve the difficulties faced by the 7th Guards Army, he hoped that the 27th Army could play a greater role.
After thinking about this, Sokov felt bitter. Although a side attack on the German army's rear could resolve the crisis faced by the 7th Guards Army. However, the best opportunity to develop rapidly to the south of the landing site and seize Alexandria and Kirovgrad in a short period of time was missed.
Sokov decided to call Konev and explain to him the importance of doing so. But then I thought about it, now that I was not only a wounded soldier, but also temporarily relieved of my position as commander of the 27th Army. Even if I could barely contact Konev, he might not change his mind.
In just a few minutes, Sokov thought about many issues. In the end, he felt that all he could do now was to recover from his injuries. As for the frontier matters, he let Lieutenant General Trofimenko worry about it.
After he adjusted his mentality, he asked Yakov curiously: "Yasha, how did you know that I was hospitalized here?"
"General Konev told me." Yakov explained to Sokov: "The purpose of his doing this is to convey the news of your injury to Asiya through me."
When Yakov mentioned Asiya, Sokov couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Yasha, does Asiya know that I was injured?"
Yakov shook his head: "Since you have been unconscious for the past two days, I haven't told her the news yet, so as not to worry her too much."
"Now I'm awake," Sokov felt that Yakov's approach was correct. Before he woke up, he rashly told Asiya the news that he was injured and returned to Moscow, which would only make the other party worry about him. . But now that he has woken up, he can see Asiya: "Yasha, please inform me of this matter."
"Yasha, although you are from the Weapons and Equipment Department, you must be able to understand the situation at the frontier through specialized channels." Sokov did not answer Yakov's question immediately, but looked at him and asked: " Am I right?"
"That's right." Since the two were friends, Yakov naturally had no need to hide anything.
