"This is really great." Sokov said: "Comrade Sidorin, please convey my gratitude to Lieutenant Colonel Glushko for the results he has achieved."
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Sidorin said politely: "I will convey your gratitude to him." After a brief pause, he continued to ask, "After capturing Uman, what will be our next mission?" What is it?"
"After the friendly forces enter the city, hand over the defense to them." Sokov stared at the map in front of him and said: "Then the 18th Guards Army advances to Heysin and Jeplik to the west to seize these two small towns. After the city, forcefully cross the South Bug River. After completing the river crossing operation, quickly push towards the Dniester River."
Sidorin quickly pulled the map in front of him. After seeing clearly the direction Sokov was talking about, he couldn't help but take a breath: "Comrade Commander, our division has been greatly weakened after successive battles. , I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to participate in such a long-distance attack.”
"I understand, Comrade Sidorin." Sokov naturally knew what price the 18th Guards Army paid in order to capture Uman. Among the three divisions of the army, the 41st Guards Division suffered the most losses. He comforted Sidorin and said: "But don't worry, you won't be allowed to go deep alone this time. There will be tank brigades and artillery units to coordinate with you."
"That's good, that's good." After listening to Sokov's words, Sidorin couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the German resistance was not strong when attacking Uman this time, due to the lack of tank troops, With cooperation, in some battles, the troops inevitably made huge sacrifices: "With the cooperation of the tank troops, I think our attack will be smoother."
After Smirnov waited for Sokov to put down the phone, he asked: "Comrade Commander, would you like to recruit the three military commanders to the headquarters and assign them the next combat mission?"
"I don't think it's necessary." Sokov shook his head and said, "Hastily calling the three army commanders over to assign tasks before the battle in the city is over will cause the fighting troops to lose unified command, and into chaos, thus giving the Germans some breathing space.”
"But if we wait until the battle is over to convene a meeting with several army commanders, wouldn't it be too late?" Smirnov reminded Sokov: "By then, friendly forces may be ahead of us and attack Nanbu." The Ge River was forcibly crossed."
"The battle of the 18th Guards Army can come to an end." Sokov said to Smirnov: "Have Commander Afnin come to the headquarters immediately, and at the same time order the army to stop fighting in the city."
"The battle in the city?"
"The 49th and 57th Infantry Corps can be put in charge." Sokov said: "Now most of the city has fallen into the hands of our army, and the remaining enemies have also been disrupted and scattered around the city. There is sporadic resistance. If the troops of the two armies cannot destroy such an enemy that has basically lost its combat effectiveness, it means that their commanders are unqualified, and we should consider replacing them with more suitable commanders."
Sokov took a sip of tea and said to Shtemenko who was sitting next to him: "Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff, after the Battle of Uman, should you return to Moscow?"
Hearing what Sokov said, Shtemenko couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "Why, Comrade Sokov, are you so unwelcome to me?"
"No, Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff." Sokov responded with some embarrassment: "In any case, this is the frontier. It is inappropriate for you to stay here as the deputy chief of staff of the army. You will be attacked at any time. It's life-threatening. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to my superiors."
"Don't worry, Comrade Sokov." Seeing Sokov so uneasy, Shtemenko said with a smile: "I can't stay here for long. I will leave as soon as the Battle of Uman is over. No." I always make you fearful for me."
"This is really great." Sokov said: "Comrade Sidorin, please convey my gratitude to Lieutenant Colonel Glushko for the results he has achieved."
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Sidorin said politely: "I will convey your gratitude to him." After a brief pause, he continued to ask, "After capturing Uman, what will be our next mission?" What is it?"
