After Konev put down the phone, he called Zakharov in front of him and ordered him: "Comrade Chief of Staff, immediately contact the commander of the Cherkasy garrison and order him to take precautionary measures to reduce the number of people in the city. Resident casualties.”
Zakharov had seen the huge crater in the village with his own eyes. The thought of an unknown number of aircraft hitting this newly liberated city gave him a headache.
"Comrade Marshal," he asked tentatively after Konev finished speaking: "What precautions should I tell the other party to take?"
When Konev heard Zakharov ask this question, he realized that he had not spoken clearly. He quickly added: "Comrade Chief of Staff, you and I have seen the power of the V1 missile. If we don't take precautions, everything will be destroyed." Alkaser will suffer huge losses. After the buildings are destroyed, we can build them again, but if residents die in the attack, there will be nothing we can do."
"Comrade Marshal, I would like to ask, what is a v1 missile?"
"The V1 missile is the kind of aircraft we are talking about." Konev explained to Zakharov: "As soon as Sokov found out the name of the German new weapon, he immediately reported it to me."
"If the commander of Cherkasy asked me what precautions should be taken, how should I answer him?"
"Judging from the intelligence we currently have, the location where the Germans launched V1 missiles is still in Uman." Konev said to Zakharov: "Therefore, the defenders should establish new air defenses in the southwest or west of the city. Position, when the V1 missiles approach the city, use anti-aircraft artillery to shoot them down."
"Although the flight route of V1 missiles is fixed, it may not be easy to shoot them down at night." Zakharov said worriedly: "The city will definitely still be under intensive bombing."
"Comrade Chief of Staff, your concern is correct. Even if we deploy artillery positions to intercept the German V1 missiles, there will definitely still be a large number of missiles that fall on the city and explode, causing buildings to collapse and residents to Injured." After Konev considered it for a moment, he said: "Although I believe that the intelligence obtained by Sokov is absolutely true, for the sake of safety, at two o'clock in the morning, the defenders of Cherkasy were ordered to pull Sound the air raid siren and let the residents in the city hide in air-raid shelters. In this way, no matter how many missiles fall into the city, they will only destroy some buildings at best, but the casualties to the residents can be minimized."
"Okay, Comrade Marshal." Zakharov nodded and replied: "I will contact the commander of the Cherkasy garrison and ask them to take precautions to minimize losses."
In the 53rd Army Headquarters, Smirnov waited for Sokov to put down the phone and asked curiously: "Comrade Commander, there is a question that I don't quite understand."
"what is the problem?"
"Tell me, why do the Germans launch missiles at night?" Smirnov asked puzzledly: "You know, the visibility at night is not high, and the probability of hitting the target is also low."
Since there was no information about the V1 missile at the moment, Sokov could not tell Smirnov any more details. He pretended to think about it for a while, and then said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, the photo of the V1 missile taken by the scout, You have seen it. The missile is in the air, dragging a long tail behind it. If it is launched at night, people on the ground can clearly observe its flight trajectory even with the naked eye."
Smirnov thought about it carefully and felt that what Sokov said was very reasonable. If the target of the attack was only a few kilometers away, then the observer could see the flight path clearly with a telescope. But for a missile like this that has a flight distance of one or two hundred kilometers, it is obviously inappropriate to use the original observation method. When launched at night, observers on the ground can roughly confirm whether it has deviated from the target based on the missile's flight trajectory.
"You are right, Comrade Commander." Smirnov nodded and said: "The Germans chose to discover it at night. Firstly, they wanted to catch our army by surprise. Secondly, they wanted to see the missile flight more clearly. traces of."

"Comrade Marshal," he asked tentatively after Konev finished speaking: "What precautions should I tell the other party to take?"
When Konev heard Zakharov ask this question, he realized that he had not made his words clear just now, and quickly added: "Comrade Chief of Staff, you and I have seen the power of the V1 missile. If we don't take precautions, everything will be destroyed." Alkaser will suffer huge losses. After the buildings are destroyed, we can build them again, but if residents die in the attack, there will be nothing we can do."

Position, when the V1 missiles approach the sky over the city, use anti-aircraft artillery to shoot them down."
"Although the flight route of V1 missiles is fixed, it may not be easy to shoot them down at night." Zakharov said worriedly: "The city will definitely still be under intensive bombing."
