Yesenin knew that Chumakov could not protect him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the headquarters, ready to accept the severest punishment. According to his thinking, his command was poor and he even repeatedly missed the opportunity to fight. Even if he was not shot, he would be sent to a military court.
Sokov, who was busy in the headquarters, suddenly heard Koshkin report to him: "Comrade Commander, Colonel Yesenin is here."
After hearing this, Sokov said without raising his head: "Let him come over."
"Comrade Commander," Yesenin came to Sokov, raised his hand and saluted: "Colonel Yesenin, commander of the 233rd Infantry Division, has been ordered to come. I am waiting for your orders, please give instructions!"
"It's the former division commander, Colonel Yesenin." Sokov stood up straight, looked at Yesenin and said, "Do you know how many mistakes were made today? If it is because of you that the progress of the battle is affected, you will bear the responsibility. Can you afford it?”
"I can't afford it." Yesenin lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Sokov: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, it was my fault."
"Wrong?" Sokov asked with a sneer: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Sokov's words stopped Yesenin. He looked at Sokov, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
"Come to me!" Sokov called Yesenin to the table, pointed to the map spread out on it, and said to him: "You use a sneak attack to attack the town of Golovanivsik. The idea is undoubtedly correct.”
Yesenin was surprised to hear Sokov actually praise his tactical thinking as correct. He looked at Sokov and thought with some surprise: "If you think my idea is correct, but you dismissed me, why?"
Just listen to Sokov continue: "But what I don't understand is, since your sneak attack was noticed by the Germans, why didn't you simply turn the sneak attack into a strong attack? You know, in that situation, you only need to concentrate The firepower of the divisional artillery regiment can suppress the German positions by bombarding them. Even if it is temporarily unable to open a gap in their defense line, it can greatly reduce the casualties of the troops."
"But what did you do?" When Sokov said this, he slapped the table with his hand, startling the people around him: "Seeing the troops continue to suffer casualties under enemy fire, you But no response was taken, resulting in many soldiers of our army sacrificing their lives in vain."
"Also," since Sokov called Yesenin here, he naturally would not save him any face, but said in a stern tone: "Before you start the second attack, I have personally called you to tell you , saying that the assault battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Victor has entered the town of Golovanivsik, what you have to do is to immediately use artillery fire to open a gap in the enemy's defense line, and rush in to join the friendly forces."
"But what did you do?" When Sokov said this, he tried hard to control his emotions, lest he could not help but draw a gun and kill Yesenin later: "At the group army headquarters and the army headquarters After many urgings, he reluctantly launched an attack on the town, and did not provide the necessary artillery support for the attacking troops. Under such circumstances, do you think your troops can break through the German defense lines?"
"No." Yesenin shook his head again.
"Do you understand now why I want to remove you?"
"knew."
"I think you don't know." Sokov said, unable to control his emotions: "If you continue to be the division commander, I think the entire 233rd Division will be ruined in your hands. inside."
