When it was just dawn, there was almost no gunshots heard in Uman City, which meant that Sokov's troops had annihilated the defenders in the city and successfully controlled the city.
After Sokov learned that the resistance in the city was over, he said to Military Commissar Gorokhov: "Comrade Military Commissar, the fighting in the city is over, and your work is next."
When Gorokhov heard what Sokov said, he immediately straightened his back, held his head high and said: "Comrade Commander, just give the order. I will definitely not betray your trust."
"According to the intelligence we have in advance, there are at least 170,000 or 80,000 civilians in Uman City." Sokov said: "Although we didn't see their shadow at all during the battle, I estimate that they were hiding in basements or air-raid shelters. to escape the flames of war."
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Gorokhov agreed with Sokov's statement: "I also think that the residents of the city are hiding in basements or air-raid shelters at the moment."
Without waiting for Sokov to say anything else, he guessed the task that the other party was about to assign to him, and he said: "Comrade Commander, I think the order you are about to give me is to take people to shout around and let people hide in the basement. Or the residents in the air-raid shelters can come out confidently, right?"
"That's right." Seeing that Gorokhov guessed his intention, Sokov nodded and said: "Now that we have liberated the city, we can no longer let the residents live in dark and damp basements. We should let us Come out as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Gorokhov said: "I immediately arranged several radio trucks to broadcast in the city, telling the residents that the city has been liberated, so that they can safely and boldly start from Come out of the basement.”
"Very good." Sokov said to Gorokhov: "Comrade Military Commissar, let's do this as soon as possible."
After Gorokhov left, Sokov asked Smirnov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, have General Afnin's troops set off?"
"The 41st Guards Division and a tank brigade, as the vanguard, have already set off for a quarter of an hour." Smirnov raised his hand to look at the time and continued to report: "The 3rd and 4th Airborne Divisions will also be leaving in the middle of the month." Depart in an hour."
Sokov hummed, called the director of the communications corps, and asked him to help him get through to the front army headquarters. He was going to personally report the news of the liberation of the city to Marshal Konev.
Sure enough, Konev learned that Uman had been liberated and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Comrade Sokov, I congratulate you and congratulate your 53rd Group Army on your achievements in the Battle of Uman."
"Comrade Marshal," Sokov took the initiative to report to him after Konev's words came to an end: "Now the troops of the 18th Guards Corps have left the city and are advancing towards the west of Uman."
"Oh, your troops have already set off," Konev said with some surprise, "You guys are moving pretty fast."
"Soldiers need to be quick. We just want to take the Germans by surprise before they recover." Sokov continued: "In addition to the 18th Guards Corps, I also plan to send the 49th and 57th Infantry Corps. Enter the battle. But in this case, Uman will become an empty city again. I wonder when the troops you sent to take over the defense will arrive? "
"Comrade Sokov, I originally planned to send the 27th Army to take over your defense." Konev said carefully on the phone: "But judging from the current situation, it doesn't make much sense to let them take over the defense."
When it was just dawn, there was almost no gunshots heard in Uman City, which meant that Sokov's troops had annihilated the defenders in the city and successfully controlled the city.
