When Sokov received the call from Smirnov, he thought there was some good news and asked with a smile: "Comrade Chief of Staff, call me at this time. Do you have any good news for me?"
"Comrade Commander," Smirnov hesitated for a moment and said in a serious tone, "I think I may have brought you bad news."
Sokov knew that Smirnov was a steady man and never joked around. Since he said that, something must have happened somewhere. He quickly asked: "Comrade Chief of Staff, tell me quickly, what happened?"
"The attack on the town of Golovanivsik failed." Smirnov said: "A regiment that participated in the battle originally had more than 1,900 people, but less than 300 people retreated."
"What, more than 1,600 people were lost in one battle?" Sokov was shocked by the news. He slammed the table hard and asked angrily: "It's just nonsense. Which regiment participated in the attack this time and who is its leader?" "
"It's the 699th Regiment of the 233rd Infantry Division of Colonel Yesenin." Smirnov heard Sokov's anger and did not dare to name the regiment leader. Instead, he asked in a evasive manner: "Comrade Commander, I think this matter If it is not handled properly, it may have a negative impact on the morale of the troops."
Sokov agrees with Smirnov's statement. Today's progress on the right wing was not smooth. Now that we have suffered such a big loss outside the town of Golovanivsik, it is impossible to say that it has no impact on the morale and morale of the troops. What we need to do now is to find ways to minimize the impact of this matter.
When Smirnov heard that Sokov had not spoken, he cautiously asked: "Comrade Commander, are you still there?"
"Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff, I am still here." Sokov replied: "I am considering what measures should be taken to minimize the impact of this loss."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Sokov frowned and thought. When he accidentally saw Yakov who was chatting quietly with Sidorin, a bold idea immediately came to his mind: "Yakov, your hovercraft has been repaired. Yet?"
"Under maintenance." After Yakov answered the question casually, he realized Sokov's intention and asked tentatively: "Misha, you don't want these transport ships to carry your troops to where? A place, right?”
"Yes, that's how I think about it." Sokov stretched out his hand to Sidorin and said, "Colonel Sidorin, please hand me the map."
Sidorin stood up in a hurry, took a map from nearby, and placed it in front of Sokov: "Comrade Commander, map."
After thanking Sidorin, Sokov pointed to the map and said to everyone: "There is only ten kilometers from our place to the town of Golovanivsik. I plan to send a force to go around the back of the town to take it by surprise. Launch an attack on the ground and catch the Germans by surprise."
Seeing that everyone seemed to have something to say, Sokov said first: "I plan to let Yakov's hovercraft send them there, so that they can go around to the back of the town in half an hour at most."
"One hovercraft can carry 30 soldiers. Now I can provide 12 transport hovercrafts, which is 360 people." Yakov said to everyone: "Add two assault hovercrafts..."
"Yasha, your algorithm is wrong." Sokov interrupted Yakov's words. "The transport hovercraft carries 30 soldiers, which means they carry a small number of weapons and ammunition. If each person is equipped with double If the ammunition base is large, the number of people the hovercraft can carry will be reduced accordingly."
"Comrade Commander," Sidorin interjected: "I think we can detach a battalion from our division, carry new rockets and rockets, take Colonel Yakov's hovercraft, and rush to the town of Golovanivsik as soon as possible We will launch a surprise attack on the enemy from the rear. If the troops on the front can cooperate in time, I think we will be able to capture the town."
Sokov nodded and said into the microphone that had not been put down: "Comrade Chief of Staff, you have heard it, I plan to transfer a battalion from the 41st Guards Division and go around to the town of Golovanivsik. In the rear, carry out a sneak attack on the enemy. When the troops in the front hear the sound of gunfire from the other side of the town, they immediately launch an attack, flanking the attacking troops in front and back, and must seize the entire town before dawn."
"I understand, Comrade Commander." Smirnov nodded first, then remembered an important thing and asked quickly: "I wonder what you are going to do with the regiment commander who failed in the attack?"
According to Sokov's idea, commanders like this who are incompetent in combat should be dismissed without mercy. But now that the war is imminent, it is a taboo for military strategists to change generals before the battle, so he plans to wait until the battle is over before settling the scores with the regimental commander.
"Comrade Chief of Staff, the battle is still going on. It is obviously inappropriate to change the regiment commander at this time." Sokov said into the microphone: "Let him continue to stay in the army, and we will deal with it after the battle is over. His problem."
"Okay, Comrade Commander." Smirnov felt more at ease when he heard Sokov said that he would not deal with the regiment commander for the time being. He finally said: "I will convey your intention to the 57th General Chumakov, commander of the corps.”
Seeing Sokov put down the phone, Kurishenko quickly asked: "Comrade Commander, I wonder which battalion you plan to send to carry out this long-distance attack mission?"
"I think we'll let the 122nd Regiment carry out this task."
When Sokov received the call from Smirnov, he thought there was some good news and asked with a smile: "Comrade Chief of Staff, call me at this time. Do you have any good news for me?"
"Comrade Commander," Smirnov hesitated for a moment and said in a serious tone, "I think I may have brought you bad news."
