Hearing Shtemenko's praise for herself, Adelina blushed slightly, and then said modestly: "Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff, you are so grateful. I just always keep in mind that I am an intelligence officer." It’s just a member’s duty.”
"Comrades," Sokov said to everyone: "I think everyone is aware of the enemy's troop deployment. But we cannot launch an attack on the enemy immediately because we have too few troops deployed at the starting point of the attack and the ammunition is too low. Not enough. If we launch an attack rashly, it will be like letting them die."
The staff officers who viewed the slides all agreed with Sokov's statement. Right now, there are only two regiments of the Guards Airborne Troops, which are very close to the German Uman defense line. If they are ordered to continue attacking, it is indeed possible to break through the German defense line, but they may also be surrounded by the German army's subsequent counterattack, and then be surrounded. Eliminate it bit by bit.
"We have a lot of work to do next." Sokov continued: "First, send a transport team immediately to deliver ammunition and supplies to the two regiments at the front so that they can continue to fight; second, the group army artillery unit Move forward and deploy in the offensive area as soon as possible, ready to provide artillery support to the attacking forces at any time."
"That's right," Smirnov agreed: "Although there are no barbed wire fences, no minefields, or even permanent fortifications in front of the German positions, in order to reduce the casualties of the attacking troops, there are still artillery preparations before the attack. necessary."
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov looked at Smirnov and asked, "Have our troops completely taken control of the town of Golovanivsik?"
Smirnov shook his head and replied: "The fighting in the town is still going on, but I estimate that the Germans have almost exhausted their power, and they will be able to control the entire town by eight o'clock at the latest."
"Call Lieutenant Colonel Muzichenko," Sokov told Smirnov: "Tell him to speed up the attack and never affect the progress of the later battle because of them."
"Understood, Comrade Commander." Smirnov replied readily: "I called him immediately and ordered him to speed up the attack of the troops. The battle in the town must be completely resolved before eight o'clock."
"Misha," Adelina asked in a low voice while Smirnov was on the phone: "What if when the time comes to change defenses, your troops have not completely captured the town of Golovanivsik?" , what should we do?”
"I will leave one battalion and continue to clear out the remaining German troops in the town." Sokov replied: "But the main force must be transferred to the front line to strengthen the offensive force there."
"Isn't one battalion too few?"
"A lot." Sokov explained to Agelina: "Most areas in Golovanivsik town have been controlled by our army. The remaining areas will be cleared with a battalion. We will I think it's more than enough." At this point, he paused for a moment, and after observing Agelina's reaction, he continued, "Besides, friendly forces are about to take over the defense. Even with our existing forces, we cannot annihilate the people in the town. The remaining enemies can also ask friendly forces for help."
"Agelina," Sokov asked tentatively, considering that the headquarters would move forward in a few hours and it would not be appropriate for Agelina to stay here. "What are your plans next?" Should we return to Moscow immediately, or stay here and wait for orders from our superiors?"
"I don't know." Ajelina shook her head and said, "The task I received was to go to Uman to get the information, then rush to Zhitomir and hand it over to the designated person. Unexpectedly, the Germans blocked us. The road to the north, so I can only change my route to join you. I have to stay here and wait for further orders from my superiors before I know whether I should return to Moscow or go to a more dangerous enemy-occupied area again to perform more difficult tasks."
"Agelina, you have almost had an accident twice in a row." Sokov waited for Agelina to finish speaking, then said with concern: "I suggest you switch to back office and stay in Lubyanka. In this way Come, at least the danger can be minimized. What do you think?"
Hearing Shtemenko's praise for herself, Adelina blushed slightly, and then said modestly: "Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff, you are so grateful. I just always keep in mind that I am an intelligence officer." It’s just a member’s duty.”
