Regardless of whether it was Smirnov or Gorokhov, although they did not say it, they felt in their hearts that it was impossible for the scouts to complete Sokov's mission. After all, the road was far away and it was impossible to rely on only two legs in less than two days. Can't come back.
Near noon the next day, the director of the reconnaissance department led a lieutenant wearing a steel helmet and hurried into the headquarters. He excitedly reported to Sokov: "Our scouts are back!"
"Our scouts are back?" Sokov tilted his head and looked at the lieutenant behind the director of the reconnaissance department: "Comrade director, are you talking about this lieutenant?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander." The director of the reconnaissance department pulled the lieutenant over and pushed him in front of Sokov: "This is Lieutenant Ruslan. The several reconnaissance detachments sent to the Uman area this time are all under his command. Commanded.”
"Hello, Lieutenant Ruslan." Sokov shook hands with Ruslan with a smile and said in a friendly tone: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Seeing Sokov taking the initiative to shake hands with him, Ruslan seemed a little excited. He said a little incoherently: "Comrade Commander, I'm glad to see you. To meet a legend like you, It's my honor. If my friends knew that I had met you before, they would be extremely envious of them."
Sokov chuckled, and then got back to business: "Lieutenant Ruslan, I would like to ask, how did you return here from the Uman area in less than a day?" After saying that, he sat down not far away. Smirnov and Gorokhov cast a meaningful glance.
"Comrade Commander, if you walk, you may not be able to come back here tomorrow night." Ruslan explained: "I and another soldier seized a motorcycle, and then pretended to be German communications soldiers conveying orders. , and just drove back along the highway in a swaggering manner. On the way, we even stopped at the German supply point, had something to eat, and even filled up the gas for the motorcycle."
"Not bad, not bad, Lieutenant Ruslan, you are doing well." After Sokov praised Ruslan, he turned to Smirnov and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, how are you? I said it right, right? Scout They always have a way to get to the designated place within the time we set."
Under such circumstances, it was obviously inappropriate to contradict Sokov. Smirnov could only nod his head and said: "You are right, Comrade Commander."
"Did you bring the film back?" Sokov asked Ruslan again.
"Yes, Comrade Commander, I brought it back!"
"Where?" This time it was Smirnov's turn to ask eagerly. He wanted to see with his own eyes what the Germans' new weapons looked like.
"Comrade Chief of Staff," the director of the reconnaissance department quickly explained, "I have sent someone to clean the film that Ruslan brought back." He raised his hand to check the time and replied, "The fastest is one o'clock in the afternoon. Only then can the photos be developed.”
"It's too late, Comrade Director, it's too late." Unexpectedly, Smirnov said with a straight face: "Don't you know that on the battlefield, every minute is precious? We would have known earlier that we would see Germany People's new weapons can be used to develop countermeasures earlier. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Comrade Chief of Staff." The Director of the Reconnaissance Division said with understanding: "I will go and watch and try to develop the photos as soon as possible."
After the director of the reconnaissance department left, Sokov glanced at Ruslan, who was standing as straight as a telegraph pole in the middle of the room, and said with a smile: "Comrade Lieutenant, stop standing, come and sit down, I have something else to do." I want to ask you."
After Ruslan sat down, he put his hands on his knees, his back still straight and looking straight ahead. Sokov knew that the other party was very reserved. After a faint smile, he began to get back to the subject: "Lieutenant Ruslan, I want to ask you a question."
Hearing what Sokov said, Ruslan stood up immediately, looked forward and said: "Excuse me, Comrade Commander, I will definitely report it truthfully."
"Do you still remember when the Germans' new weapons were launched?" When Sokov said this, he stared at the other person's wrist, worried that if he didn't have a watch, his plan would fail: "You won't be without it. A watch?"
Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. Ruslan nodded and replied: "Comrade Commander, it is not possible to perform a reconnaissance mission outside without a watch to tell the time. When the enemy launched new weapons, I I even checked the time."
After recording the time mentioned by Ruslan, Sokov handed the piece of paper to Smirnov and said with a smile: "Comrade Chief of Staff, please calculate the flight speed of this new weapon. "
In order to make what he said more like an analysis, Sokov made a special call to Konev not long ago to learn about the time when the V1 missile landed and exploded. Now that the V1 missile launch time and explosion time are available, it is a matter of course to calculate the flight speed.
