After the meeting, the commanders who came to attend the meeting dispersed one after another.
At this meeting, some people were happy and some were worried. I am happy that I have another opportunity to make achievements, but I am worried that my troops are short of soldiers, weapons and ammunition. As the main attacking force in the battle, I am afraid that I will suffer huge losses.
While many commanders walked outside, Kurishenko, commander of the 41st Guards Division, lingered and refused to leave his seat. Chief of Staff Sidorin pulled his sleeve and reminded him in a low voice: "Comrade division commander, the meeting is over. Should we go back to the army?"
Kurishenko glanced at Sidorin and political commissar Afanasi beside him. He originally wanted them to leave first, but then he thought about it. Sidorin and Sokov had a good relationship. If he stayed, , the request I make later may be approved by Sokov.
Seeing Kurishenko standing there without speaking, Afanasi also reminded him: "Comrade Commander, everyone has almost left, let's go back."
"Comrade Political Commissar," Kurishenko suddenly said to Afanasi, "The Chief of Staff and I still have something to do. You go back to the car first. We will meet you after we finish our business."
"Okay, Comrade Commander." Although Afanasi didn't understand why Kurishenko stayed, since the other party had said so, he had no need to stay, so he said casually: "I'll answer I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Sokov was studying the map with Smirnov. When he accidentally looked up, he found that Kurishenko and Sidorin were still in the conference room. He couldn't help showing an unexpected expression on his face. He asked in surprise. : "General Kurishenko, Colonel Sidorin, the meeting is over, why are you still here?"
Sidorin didn't understand why Kurishenko wanted him to stay. When he heard Sokov's inquiry, he could only turn his attention to Kurishenko and wanted to hear what he had to say.
Kurishenko had originally thought about raising the problems of his troops directly to Sokov later, but now when he heard the other party asking him, he didn't know what to say for a while, and just stood there thinking about what to say. How to speak without being too abrupt.
"General Kurishenko, don't be embarrassed." Seeing Kurishenko's delay in speaking, Sokov guessed that what he was going to say would be difficult to say, so he said jokingly: "Whatever you want to say, just say it." Just say it, even if it is wrong, we will not blame you, let alone remove you."
Sokov's words aroused laughter from Smirnov and others. Even Sidorin, who was standing next to Kurishenko, couldn't help laughing.
"Comrade Commander," Kurishenko had regained his composure amidst the roars of laughter. He walked twice as far as Sokov's position and said, "I would like to ask when our superiors will replenish our troops and weapons and equipment. ?”
"General Kurishenko, Comrade Commander just said at the meeting," Smirnov said in a stern tone: "Weapons and equipment will arrive at your troops in two days. As for soldiers, you are completely You can recruit local residents and incorporate them into your army."
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Kurishenko disagreed with Smirnov's statement. He argued: "Not long after a battle, all units were facing the problem of insufficient personnel. Local recruitment has made it impossible for us to recruit new soldiers. Also, our division's weapons and equipment suffered a large loss in the battle that ended not long ago. If our superiors cannot replenish us in time, we will run out of ammunition. , the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are not much stronger than ordinary wooden sticks when they reach the battlefield."
"General Kurishenko, don't worry." When Sokov saw that Kurishenko had brought Sidorin with him, he understood that the other party was worried that they would not pay attention to them in terms of replenishing soldiers and weapons and equipment. He quickly comforted him and said: "The chief of staff and I have discussed it. Once the weapons allocated to us by our superiors arrive, we will give priority to replenishing your troops. After all, you are the first echelon of combat troops. If you do not have enough weapons and equipment, Letting you participate in the attack is tantamount to asking you to die."
Although Sokov had already said this, Kurishenko was still worried: "Comrade Commander, is everything you said true?"
"of course it's true!"
"When will the weapons and equipment arrive?"
Sokov did not answer the question immediately, but asked instead: "General Kurishenko, I want to ask you, how many manpower can your division spare to build roads in the defense zone?"
This question successfully diverted Kurishenko's attention. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "We have just recruited more than 400 new soldiers. I can send these people to build roads in the defense zone."
"Very good." Sokov nodded and said: "You seize the time to repair the roads. Only when the roads are repaired can the convoys transporting weapons and equipment reach your defense area more smoothly. Okay, if nothing happens, you Just go back first.”
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Kurishenko agreed loudly, then saluted Sokov, turned around and left with Sidorin.
"Comrade Commander," Smirnov said to Sokov immediately after Kurishenko and Sidorin left: "Did you call Colonel Yakov to see the weapons and ammunition given to us by our superiors? , where is it shipped to now?”
"Well, you should ask."
