"Comrade commanders," Konev said without hesitation after waiting for the other party to finish speaking: "Have you ever thought about our current shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and the Germans are also facing the same problem. If we want Wait until the replenishment given by our superiors arrives, complete the replenishment of soldiers and ammunition, and then attack the enemy. By then, the enemy will have already completed their replenishment and rest. If we want to defeat them, we will inevitably pay huge casualties."
The commanders present heard what Konev said and thought about it carefully, and found that this was really the case. While their own troops are being replenished with soldiers and ammunition, the Germans will not be idle and will definitely replenish them. After both sides have completed replenishment and rest, launching an attack on the enemy's defense area will inevitably increase the casualties of the troops.
Seeing the silence of the commanders, Konev understood that they were thinking about the problem he was talking about, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "The reason why we are about to launch the Battle of Uman this time is so hasty is entirely because the Germans have We have weapons that can carry out long-range strikes against us. Think about it, the Germans can launch missiles at our defense areas every day, and we have no power to fight back at all and can only be passively beaten. In order to prevent this from happening, we It is necessary to launch a surprise attack on the German army before they complete their new defense deployment and destroy their missile launch base in the Uman area..."
When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, secretly saying that the German missile launching positions could be moved at any time. Even if Uman and Vinnitsa were liberated, it did not mean that the German missile launching positions were destroyed. They could also be moved to other places. city, and continued to carry out long-range attacks on the Soviet defense areas.
However, he did not point this out to Konev in public, but quietly listened to Konev's arrangements, secretly wondering whether the other party would assign the task of attacking Uman to his own troops.
Unexpectedly, he thought so, and saw Konev's eyes falling on him, and then heard the other party say: "Comrade Sokov, in this battle of Uman, I plan to let your army be the main offensive. You have a problem?" ?"
After Konev finished speaking, Sokov slowly stood up and said slowly: "Comrade Marshal, if we attack the enemy with the current strength of our army, it will be tantamount to committing suicide."
Konev probably never dreamed that Sokov would say such a thing. According to his thoughts, when Sokov heard himself asking this question, he would definitely answer loudly after standing up: "No problem." After hearing the answer he least wanted to hear, Konev frowned and looked at Sokov Kokov asked with some displeasure, "Comrade Sokov, when do you think you should attack the Germans without asking your officers and soldiers to commit suicide?"
Sokov heard the anger in Konev's voice and realized that he had misunderstood. He quickly explained: "Comrade Marshal, my superiors just gave me a batch of weapons and equipment. They are now being transported. I'm afraid I have to wait for another four or five days." Time will come. As soon as this batch of equipment arrives, I will be able to arm all the commanders and soldiers, thus improving the combat effectiveness of the troops."
After listening to Sokov's explanation, Konev realized that he had wrongly blamed him. He coughed heavily, cleared his throat, and asked: "Comrade Sokov, how many days do you need to prepare?"
Sokov made some calculations in his mind and felt that it would take four or five days no matter how fast Yakov prepared the weapons and equipment for him. He replied: "Comrade Marshal, I think it may take four or five days."
"No, four or five days is too long." Konev shook his head and said, "We will launch an attack on the enemy in six days. If you wait until the weapons and equipment arrive, then set off to the designated location. , I am afraid that the commanders and soldiers have long been exhausted, how can they still have the physical strength to fight the enemy?"
"Comrade Marshal," Sokov said: "While waiting for the arrival of weapons and equipment, our troops will actively prepare for battle, and some of the troops may even head to designated locations to receive new equipment there. .”
"That's okay." Konev felt that what Sokov said made sense. Although the weapons and equipment were not yet in place, it was perfectly fine for the troops to move to the designated area first to receive and familiarize themselves with the equipment. "Then do as you say."
Zakharov waited for Konev to finish, then interrupted and asked: "Comrade Sokov, how has the performance of the small team you sent behind enemy lines been in the past two days? We don't seem to have received any intelligence from them. "
The chief of staff of the front army actually asked directly about the small unit sent by the troops below to go behind enemy lines. This made the commanders present puzzled. But only Sokov knew in his heart that the other party was actually asking whether the troops carrying new rockets had destroyed the German missile launch base.
Sokov, who also received no reply, knew very well that if the small team behind enemy lines remained silent, it meant that they had not yet reached the position to conduct reconnaissance.
