Sokov, who was far away in Safran, did not know that Manstein was about to be dismissed. He was checking the results of the Air Force. The destruction of the airport located on the outskirts of Uman caused the Germans to completely lose air supremacy in this area. It was indeed a great victory. However, the effect of the Sky Fortress' attack was not satisfactory. It only destroyed a few missile launchers. As for the V1 missile, not even a shadow was seen.
"The record is very good." After reading the battle report, Shtemenko said with a smile: "Comrade Sokov, your decisive action today not only caused huge losses to the Germans, but also dealt a heavy blow to their Military morale and morale. I believe that in the attack in a few days, the resistance you will encounter will be greatly weakened."
But after hearing this, Sokov just smiled faintly, and then said to Shtemenko: "Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff, although the German airport in the Uman area was completely destroyed in the bombing, as long as our army's Once the offensive campaign is launched, they can dispatch aircraft from other areas to compete with our air force for air supremacy.
Also, the biggest threat to us from the Germans today is not the bombers, but the damn V1 missiles. "
"V1 missile?" Unexpectedly, Shtemenko burst out laughing after hearing this. Then he said disapprovingly: "Comrade Sokov, are you too neurotic? Yes, the power of the German V1 missile is It is quite powerful, but its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the hit rate is not high. If you want to hit and destroy a target, you need to launch a large number of missiles at the same time. I think the cost of this kind of thing should not be cheap, in the hands of the Germans There may be a limited quantity.”
Seeing that Shtemenko underestimated the enemy so much, Sokov was really dumbfounded. The V1 missile sounds quite high-end, but the actual cost is not enough, otherwise the German army would not mass-produce it and launched tens of thousands of V1 missiles to the British Isles.
Sokov coughed lightly and began to explain his point of view: "Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff, you may not understand the terror of V1 missiles."
"Oh?" Shtemenko asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Based on the production capacity of the Germans, they can produce a large number of V1 missiles in a short period of time." Sokov said: "In fact, the cost of this kind of missile is far lower than we imagined. Just imagine, what if The area where our troops were assembled was discovered by German scouts and provided an attack target for their missile units in the rear. How many casualties will be caused to us."
"Sokov, are you exaggerating the level of German scouts?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all." In order to convince Shtemenko, he took the initiative to provide specific examples: "The first time the Germans used V1 missiles to attack, it was Marshal Konev's old headquarters that was bombed. And several Hours ago, the Germans accurately attacked my army headquarters again.
If the missiles attacking Marshal Konev's headquarters and my headquarters were not one or two, but twenty or thirty, have you ever thought about what kind of temporary losses will be incurred? "
Shtemenko has seen the photos after the attack on Morenchi village, and can naturally resonate with Sokov's statement. After a long silence, he asked Sokov: "Comrade Sokov, do we have any good way to deal with the German V1 missiles?"
"Judging from the effects of night attacks and daytime air strikes from the Sky Fortress, the German missile launch sites are all hidden in very concealed locations. It is obviously impossible to find them all." If Sokov has any He said thoughtfully: "Therefore, I think the best way is to cut off their transportation so that the missile launch site cannot be supplied with missiles, so that the threat to us can be minimized."
"You mean, cut off their transportation lines?" After Shtemenko asked this, he couldn't help but frowned: "But how do the Germans plan to transport these missiles?"
"Needless to say, it must be the railway." Sokov explained to Shtemenko: "It is the spring thaw season now. If the Germans use cars to transport by road, they will definitely be stuck in the quagmire and unable to move. Therefore, they In order to deliver the missile to the forward launch site as soon as possible, the only way is to transport it by rail."
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Shtemenko nodded and said: "It seems that we should send scouts to conduct close reconnaissance near the German station to confirm at which station the German missiles will get off."
