Early the next morning, as soon as Yakov left with his hovercraft unit, Kurishenko came to the headquarters angrily and asked Sokov to launch an attack.
"Comrade Commander, Chief of Staff," Kurishenko asked with a straight face: "I would like to ask, why are both airborne divisions issued assault rifles and new rockets, but our division has nothing? "
"Who said no?" Smirnov heard what Kurishenko said and immediately retorted: "Didn't a large part of the weapons replaced by the two divisions be given to your division?"
"Our division already has those equipments." Kurishenko said with a bit of laughter and laughter: "Give us another batch, and it won't be of much help to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops."
"You can't say that." Smirnov continued: "In the early battles of your division, not only did your troops suffer heavy losses, but their weapons and equipment were also severely depleted. So much so that after the new troops were replenished, many recruits did not have weapons. The weapons distributed to you last night are just enough to arm the new recruits."
"Even if we replenish this batch of weapons, we are still facing the problem of insufficient firepower." Kurishenko raised his voice and said: "We are about to launch an attack on the German Uman Group. Without strong firepower, our division will When you attack, there will definitely be a huge price to pay.”
"Comrade Kurishenko," seeing Smirnov preparing to reprimand Kurishenko, Sokov quickly reached out to stop him and took over the conversation and said, "Do you know why I don't issue new weapons to your division? "
"Why?"
"Because your division has a high proportion of recruits." Sokov said bluntly: "Even if you are assigned assault rifles and new rockets, the recruits can master the use of these new weapons in a short period of time, and Can you use it skillfully? It was with this in mind that I decided to give priority to the weapons shipped by Colonel Yakov to the two Guards Airborne Divisions."
"Comrade Commander, have you forgotten that you once served as the commander of the 41st Guards Division." Kurishenko said: "It can be said that this unit is your old subordinate."
"Yes, General Kurishenko." Sokov did not deny this: "Yes, I am the second division commander of the 41st Guards Division, but this has nothing to do with the fact that I did not issue new weapons to you. What does it matter?"
"Why doesn't it matter?" Kurishenko couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw Sokov's disapproval. He said emotionally: "Although there are not many veterans left when you were the division commander. But for How to use assault rifles and new rockets, they are no worse than the commanders and fighters of friendly forces, and are even much better."
When Sokov heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead, and said angrily: "Damn it, how could I forget about this?" Maybe it was because he had been away from this army for too long. It took so long that Sokov had forgotten that the commanders and fighters of the division were proficient in using assault rifles and skillfully firing new rockets at enemy positions.
Seeing Sokov's reaction, Kurishenko couldn't help feeling secretly happy. He continued: "Comrade Commander, even if you don't give us assault rifles, you must give us some new rockets. As long as we have new rockets, we will be able to suppress the Germans with firepower when attacking, thereby reducing unnecessary casualties."
Although Sokov felt a little regretful and felt that he had not considered the matter comprehensively enough, now that assault rifles and new rockets have been distributed to the Airborne Division, it is definitely unrealistic to take them back, and it may also arouse the emotions of the Airborne Division commanders and fighters. unstable. Therefore, even if the 41st Guards Division needs to be re-equipped, it will have to wait until Yakov delivers the second batch of weapons and equipment.
After thinking about this, Sokov said to Kurishenko: "General Kurishenko, now all the weapons and equipment we have obtained have been distributed. Even if I want to give it to you at this time, I can't give you anything. "
When Kurishenko heard this, he couldn't help but feel cold. He said with a grimace: "I didn't expect that they are all troops of the 18th Guards Army, but the equipment of our division is one level worse than that of friendly forces..."
"Don't worry, there will be assault rifles, there will be new rockets, there will be everything." After casually saying this modified quote, Sokov continued: "Colonel Yakov has returned Moscow, he will be able to transport the second batch of weapons and ammunition in five days at most, and I will give you priority at that time."
"There are more than a thousand roads from here to Moscow. And it's the spring thaw season, and the entire Ukrainian plain has turned into a quagmire." Kurishenko said with a wry smile: "Even if Colonel Yakov They transported it as quickly as possible, and by the time the second batch of weapons and ammunition was encountered, almost half a month had passed. And there were only five days left for our army to launch the Uman Campaign. It seemed that our division was I can’t wait to change my clothes before the battle.”
"You can rest assured on this," Sokov said truthfully, thinking that the hovercraft was no longer a secret in the Soviet army. For a division commander like Kurishenko, there was no need to hide it. The hovercraft unit commanded by Colonel Yakov drives a special vehicle that can not only travel on roads, but also travel very fast in swamps, lakes or quagmire. I believe they will definitely win the battle. Before we start, bring us the second batch of weapons and equipment.”
Early the next morning, as soon as Yakov left with his hovercraft unit, Kurishenko came to the headquarters angrily and asked Sokov to launch an attack.
"Comrade Commander, Chief of Staff," Kurishenko asked with a straight face: "I would like to ask, why are both airborne divisions issued assault rifles and new rockets, but our division has nothing? "
