The 18th Guards Army all entered the Safran area within the specified time.
Kurishenko's 41st Guards Division was at the front, less than two kilometers away from the German defense line. Behind them are the 3rd Guards Airborne Division, and behind them are the 4th Guards Airborne Division and the corps headquarters.
That night, Sokov appeared at the military headquarters. Accompanying him were Ponejelin, Muzichenko and more than 20 students who were not assigned. The temporary staff group formed by them will follow Sokov until the end of the Uman Battle. .
Seeing Sokov's appearance, Afnin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. After raising his hand in salute, he asked in surprise: "Comrade Commander, why are you here?"
"In two days, we will launch an attack on the German Uman Group." Sokov said: "The headquarters is more than a hundred kilometers away from the front line, and it is impossible to resolve what happened on the front line in time, so I established a Advance headquarters, come to you to command the battle."
Hearing that Sokov was coming to command the battle, Afunin had a troubled expression on his face. He was worried that if Sokov really set up the forward headquarters here, he, the commander of the army, would become a decoration.
Fortunately, Sokov saw his embarrassment and continued: "General Afnin, don't worry, I will not set up the forward headquarters in your army headquarters, as that will interfere with your command. My The headquarters will be located not far from here. If you need anything, you can contact us by phone."
Afuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, are the security forces accompanying you sufficient? If not, I will send you a security company here."
"I came out here with only one guard company, commanded by Lieutenant Koshkin." Using one company of troops to protect the group army's forward headquarters is indeed a bit small. Therefore, facing Afunin, he showed Sokov readily agreed: "I accept your kindness. I will ask your subordinates to report to Koshkin later."
After Sokov sat down at the wooden table, he began to ask Afunin about his defense situation: "General Afunin, have all your troops arrived at the designated position?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Afnin quickly pushed the map in front of Sokov and introduced to him the defense situation of the Guards: "The 41st Guards Division was the first to enter the Safran area. Their defense You must know the situation very well, so I won’t repeat it here. One kilometer behind them is the 3rd Guards Airborne Division. At the front are the 8th and 10th regiments of the division, and the 2nd regiment and artillery As the second echelon, the regiment is placed behind and to the left of the main force of the division..."
"Wait a minute, General Afunin." Hearing this, Sokov quickly interrupted Afunin: "I would like to ask how strong the artillery regiment of this division is?"
Hearing Sokov's question, Afnin was stunned for a moment, then understood what the other party meant, and hurriedly replied: "The division's artillery regiment has a total of 33 artillery pieces of different calibers, including 24 76.2 mm artillery pieces and 9 122 mm artillery pieces. Door."
After listening, Sokov nodded slightly: "The firepower is good. What about the artillery regiment of the 4th Guards Airborne Division?"
"Their number of artillery pieces is smaller." Afnin said: "Although there are still 24 76.2 mm artillery pieces, because one of the artillery battalions is equipped with a 152 mm heavy artillery piece, there are only 3 artillery pieces. The whole regiment has a total of 27 artillery pieces. Door."
"General Afunin, listen." Sokov waited for Afunin to finish speaking before he said: "According to my estimation, before we launch an attack on the German Uman Group Army, the Germans may attack If the 41st Guards Division launches an attack in the defense area, it may require artillery support from friendly forces, and you will be responsible for coordinating this matter."
After figuring out what was going on, Afnin expressed his position to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, the 41st Guards Division is also a unit under my command. When they are attacked by the Germans, I will definitely order other units to fight for them. Provide necessary support.”
After saying this, he paused for a moment and asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, do you really think that the Germans will launch an attack on Safran in the next two days?"
"That's right, General Afnin." With his rich command experience, Sokov felt that after the Germans were driven away from the Safran area by the 41st Guards Division, they would definitely not be reconciled. If there was a chance, they would A tentative attack on Safran was launched to determine whether heavy troops should be deployed in this area. "I think the Germans will launch an attack on the defense area of the 41st Guards Division tomorrow at the latest. You must prepare for battle in advance to avoid catching the Germans by surprise."
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Afnin felt that Sokov's worries were a bit unfounded, so he said disapprovingly: "If the Germans dare to launch an attack rashly, we will definitely give them a head-on attack."
After hearing this, Sokov couldn't help frowning. He felt that Afunin seemed to underestimate the enemy, and it would be easy to suffer a loss, so he reminded the other party: "General Afunin, although our army is gathering towards the Uman area, the German army still has Don’t underestimate the strength of our army’s attack, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses in the next battle.”
