Due to being too tired, Sokov fell asleep unknowingly while thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, the car suddenly stopped. Sokov was about to open his eyes and ask if he was there when he heard Koshkin's voice: "Comrades, which section are you from? Why are you blocking our way?"
"I'm sorry, Comrade Lieutenant." A slightly hoarse voice said: "The Germans have laid mines on the road ahead, and we are clearing them. No one can pass until all the mines are cleared."
When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help but trembled, and his whole body suddenly woke up. You know, he was injured a few months ago. On his way to inspect the front line, he met a group of Germans pretending to be Soviet engineers, and was tricked into the room where the bomb was installed. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the bomb would have exploded at the same time. If you jump out of the window to escape, I'm afraid the grass on the grave will be ten feet high by now.
He opened his eyes, looked out the window, and put his hand on the holster on his waist, ready to shoot if he found something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, after seeing clearly the dozen or so people standing not far away, Sokov exclaimed: "Lieutenant Colonel Miresiev, is that you?"
Lieutenant Colonel Miresiev was Sokov's classmate at the Frunze Military Academy. He followed Sokov out of the academy and came to the 53rd Army, and was appointed deputy commander of the 124th Regiment of the 41st Guards Division.
Miresiev, who was arranging engineers to clear mines, heard someone calling him. He turned towards the direction of the sound and happened to see Sokov sitting in the car. He walked over quickly and asked in surprise: "Comrade Commander, why are you here?"
"I heard that you have captured Helsin, and I came here specially to take a look." Sokov only knew that the 18th Guards Army captured Helsin, but the specific division was not clear: "Capture Helsin." The army is your division, right?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander, it is our division."
"Where is your division headquarters?" Sokov asked, "Can you be my guide?"
"Comrade Commander, I am very happy." After saying this, Miresiev called a captain and told him: "Comrade Captain, we must hurry up on the demining work, otherwise we will wait until our transport convoy arrives. You can’t get to the city through here.”
Before Miresyev got into the car, Sokov asked curiously: "Milesyev, didn't you clear the landmines on the road before seizing the city?"
"Comrade Commander, you don't know something. These mines were laid by German stragglers." Miresiev replied with a bitter look on his face: "Before we captured the city, there were no mines on this road at all. It can be said that It was unimpeded. But unexpectedly, after we occupied the city, landmines suddenly and inexplicably appeared on the road, injuring many of our soldiers."
"Is it an infantry mine or an anti-tank mine?"
"Infantry mine!"
"Since it's an infantry mine, it's easy to handle." Sokov pointed at a Sherman parked not far away and said, "Let that tank run over the road, and the infantry mine will bully and bully." The infantry is okay, but the threat they pose to tanks is much smaller."
Miresyev naturally obeyed Sokov's orders unconditionally. He turned around and ran to the tank, gave a few instructions to the commander who was sitting on the vehicle and watching the excitement, and then ran back to report to Sokov: " Comrade Commander, everything has been arranged."
Sokov pushed open the car door, moved inside, and said to Milesiev: "Get in the car, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel."
Under the guidance of Lieutenant Colonel Miresiev, the convoy left the road and drove along the rugged path toward the depths of the forest. "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel," Sokov raised his hand and grabbed the handle of the roof of the car, and asked with some surprise: "Why hasn't your division headquarters moved into the city yet?"
"Originally we were planning to move into the city," Miresiev replied: "But Comrade Division Commander was worried that our superiors would soon assign us new combat tasks. Maybe the division headquarters would be moved to another location just after it was built. He simply stayed here because of the location." He was worried that Sokov didn't understand, and specifically explained, "After our division arrived here, the division commander set up the headquarters in the forest. As a result, before it was put to use, the city was It was occupied by the vanguard."
"So that's it." Sokov nodded and said: "General Kurishenko is very thoughtful. If he just occupied the city, he would move the division headquarters into the city. Maybe the headquarters has just been arranged, and the superiors New orders will be passed down, and the headquarters will have to be moved at that time, which will cause a lot of inconvenience to the communication personnel."

"Is it an infantry mine or an anti-tank mine?"
"Infantry mine!"
