Sokov wanted to take the 237th Division to the open-pit mine himself, but before he could set out, he received a call from Marshal Konev. The other party asked straight to the point: "Comrade Sokov, what are you doing?"
"Comrade Marshal." After hearing Konev's voice, Sokov replied respectfully: "Comrade Marshal, my subordinates reported to me that they have found the open-pit mine and rescued the prisoners of war inside. I I am planning to take you to my 237th Division under my command and rush there to receive prisoners of war."
"Comrade Sokov, just leave this kind of thing to your subordinates. You have more important work to do."
"Comrade Marshal, do you have any new instructions?"
"According to the air force's reconnaissance report," Konev said on the other end of the phone: "The defenders in Helsin and Jeplik are showing signs of evacuation."
"What, the defenders in Hesin and Teplik are evacuating?" Sokov was shocked when he heard the news: "Comrade Marshal, is this true?"
"After receiving this information, I specifically asked the Air Force to verify it and confirm the reliability of the information." Konev said: "Comrade Sokov, you should rush to the above-mentioned area immediately and command your troops to establish a new Depart the position and wait for the arrival of the main force of the front army."
"The main force?" Sokov asked tentatively: "Are they the 27th and 52nd Army?"
"Yes, it's them." Konev nodded and said, "When the three armies of you join forces, they will form a huge force. Your task then is to cut off the German 8th Army and the 1st The Tank Army retreated to the road across the Dniester River and cooperated with the troops of the 3rd Ukrainian Front to defeat it."
Almost half a year has passed since the troops on all fronts changed their designations on October 20, 1943. This is the first time Sokov heard the designation of the Third Ukrainian Front. Since history books introduce the battle to liberate Ukraine, they all focus on the great achievements of the 1st and 2nd Fronts, while the 3rd and 4th Fronts have become a little transparent. Even Sokov from later generations is not clear about it. What achievements did these two front armies achieve in the later stages of the Patriotic War?
Precisely because he did not understand the situation of this unit, Sokov could not help but feel a little uneasy when he heard Konev say this: "Comrade Marshal, in the Uman Battle launched this time, we are not just fighting with the first side. Are the troops of the army cooperating? Why did a third front appear again?"
From the tone of Sokov's words, Konev could tell that he was not interested in the friendly forces of the Third Front, so he took the initiative and said: "Comrade Sokov, your eyes may have been staring at the liberation of the First and Second Fronts. In the battle in Ukraine, a series of achievements were achieved. However, the troops of the 3rd and 4th Fronts who were also fighting here were ignored.
The troops commanded by General Malinovsky are attacking Odessa from the Nikolayev area, preparing to regain the seaport occupied by the enemy. "
Sokov was not interested at all in where the troops of the Third and Fourth Fronts would attack and what results they could achieve. He listened to Konev's story absently, and when the other party paused, he immediately asked: "Comrade Marshal, can I set off to the South Bug River now and direct the battle there?"
"Yes, Comrade Sokov." Konev warned him on the phone: "There may be remnants of the German army along the way. You should be more careful on the way."
"Understood, Comrade Marshal." Sokov nodded and said, "I will pay attention to safety."
After putting down the phone, he called a staff officer and told the other person: "Ask Lieutenant Koshkin whether his body can allow him to travel far away?" Sokov asked this question because Koshkin When Jin entered the city yesterday, he was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet. Although the injury was not serious, his movements were somewhat affected. Sokov wanted to take the 237th Division to the open-pit mine himself, but before he could set out, he received a call from Marshal Konev.
