Yakov took out a list of weapons from his satchel and handed it to Sokov: "This batch of weapons is basically assault rifles and supporting ammunition, and there are also 500 new rockets."
Sokov couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that the newly delivered weapons were basically assault rifles and matching ammunition. You must know that the role of assault rifles on the battlefield is far better than submachine guns and rifles. If two or three divisions are replaced with assault rifles, then the combat effectiveness of this unit will rise to a higher level.
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov raised his head and said to Smirnov after reading the list: "Contact Major General Afnin immediately and ask him to come to the headquarters immediately."
Smirnov pulled the phone in front of him. He did not make a call immediately but looked at Sokov and asked: "Comrade Commander, can we just call General Afnin?"
Sokov asked Smirnov to notify Afunin, hoping to use these assault rifles to re-equip the airborne division. Hearing what Smirnov said now, he hesitated for a moment, thinking that if all the troops were to change their equipment at once, and the commanders and soldiers would rush into battle without being familiar with the new weapons, their combat effectiveness would be reduced instead of increased. The best way is to only change equipment for half of the troops, and then gradually change equipment for the remaining commanders and fighters after they are familiar with the new equipment.
In a moment, he made a decision in his mind to distribute this batch of equipment to the two airborne divisions. As for Kurishenko's 41st Guards Division, he used the weapons replaced by the two airborne divisions.
Having made up his mind, he said to Smirnov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, when General Afnin comes, ask him to call the commanders of the two airborne divisions over. I plan to distribute these weapons to the airborne divisions. "
"What about the 41st Guards Division?" Smirnov heard Sokov didn't mention the 41st Guards Division and thought he had forgotten it, so he kindly reminded him: "Did you forget about them?"
"How could I have forgotten them." Sokov explained to Smirnov: "After the last battle, the 41st Guards Division added new soldiers to the army. These people have been living in Germany for a long time. If they occupy the area, they will definitely not have the opportunity to receive military training. Therefore, it is difficult to allocate new equipment to them to exert their combat effectiveness. The two airborne divisions are the elite of our army, so it is perfect for them to change their equipment. .”
After figuring out Sokov's intention, Smirnov nodded, picked up the phone and began to contact Afunin, informing him to arrive at the army headquarters as soon as possible.
"Yasha," Sokov asked Yakov while Smirnov was on the phone: "Are the next batch of weapons also small weapons like assault rifles?"
"Yes," Yakov explained: "Originally, this batch of weapons was intended to equip several other Guards divisions, but because of my father's words, they were all assigned to you. There are a total of 40,000 assault weapons. Rifles and 3,500 new rockets, I believe that if you all change your equipment, the overall combat effectiveness of the army will be able to reach a higher level."
"I hope so." Sokov knew very well that even the latest weapons would be difficult to use to their full potential if given to recruits without military training. It would be better to give them the Mosin Nagant rifles and Bobosha submachine guns. After they have a certain understanding of the weapons, it will not be too late to replace them with new assault rifles. "I wonder when the next batch of weapons will arrive?"
"After unloading this batch of weapons, I will return with the hovercraft unit to transport the second batch of weapons and ammunition."
Sokov thought that Yakov had spent 60 hours rushing from Moscow to his own defense area, and that he had to return to Moscow before he could rest. It would be too hard, so he said with concern: "Yasha, I see you It’s better to rest here for two days. As for the transportation of weapons, just let your men be responsible for it.”
"No, Misha." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yakov shook his head and said: "Comrade Ustinov once told me that I must be present when the weapons are taken away, otherwise no one can take away the weapons. "
After figuring out why Yakov couldn't rest, Sokov said with emotion, "Yasha, you've worked really hard. If you go back and forth a few more times, your body will be completely exhausted."
"There is nothing we can do about it." Yakov said with a wry smile: "Who asked me to take on such a hard job?" After a pause, he asked Sokov again, "Misha, are you going to use this batch of weapons?" Where can I unload it, my people are still waiting for my order?"
"Don't be anxious, Yasha." Sokov said: "When General Afnin arrives, I will explain a few words to him, and then you can lead people to send these weapons to his defense area."
Yakov is also a smart man and immediately understood Sokov's intention: "Oh, you want me to unload the weapons and equipment directly in the defense area of the reloading unit, so that you can save a link."
"Yes, that's how I think about it." Sokov also explained seriously: "If you unload the equipment at my place, General Afnin will contact the vehicle later to pull the equipment back to his troops. , and then distribute it to the troops below. And if you send the equipment directly, you can save the steps of mobilizing the fleet, loading and unloading, and save valuable time. "
"When will you launch an attack on Uman?" As soon as Yakov finished saying this, he immediately realized that he might have asked something he shouldn't have asked, and quickly added: "If it's not convenient for you to say, just pretend that I didn't ask. Pass."
"Although for the enemy, the time of our attack is a top secret." Sokov said with a smile: "But for you, Yasha, there is no need to keep it secret, because even if I don't tell you, when you return to Moscow, you will We can know the attack time and even see the detailed combat plan. Our group army will serve as the first echelon of the entire front army and launch an attack on the enemy on March 9."
Yakov took out a list of weapons from his satchel and handed it to Sokov: "This batch of weapons is basically assault rifles and supporting ammunition, and there are also 500 new rockets."
