Early the next morning, a general walked into the headquarters from outside.
Sokov was talking to Smirnov and Yakov. When he saw the person coming, he stood up from his seat and hurriedly greeted him. He said: "Comrade Chuvasov, why are you here?" ?”
The person who came was none other than Chuvasov, the commander of the 98th Guards Division. Due to his outstanding military exploits, he had just been promoted to major general not long ago. Seeing Sokov coming towards him at this moment, he quickly stopped, raised his hand to salute him, and said respectfully: "Hello, comrade commander, the commander of the 98th Guards Division, Major General Chuvasov, is reporting to you. , I obey your orders, please give instructions!"
After Sokov stepped forward to return the salute, he pulled his hand from his forehead, shook his hand warmly, and asked, "I didn't expect that after I haven't seen you for a few months, you have become a general!"
Chuvashov glanced at Sokov's epaulettes, and the smile on his face became brighter: "Comrade Commander, I have become a general. But you have changed from a major general to a general."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Sokov asked the other party directly why he was here: "Chuvashov, if you don't stay well in the 27th Army, why did you come to me?"
No anti-theft
"Borrow the road!" Chuvashov replied briefly: "Because the German army's defense on the other side of the Dniester River was too tight, the two forced crossings we launched ended in failure. Last night I suddenly received a message from the commander General Trofimenko’s call tells us to go down the river, use your way to cross the Dniester River, launch a surprise attack from the side of the German river defense position, and cover the friendly forces on the left bank to cross the river.”
Sokov quickly pulled the map on the table in front of him, then asked Chuvashov: "Chuvashov, tell me your plan?"
"My plan?" Chuvashov was confused by Sokov's question. He asked in confusion: "What plan?"
"How do you plan to attack the Germans?" Seeing that the other party did not understand what he meant, Sokov could only clarify to him: "You can't just cross the river and launch an attack on the Germans with great fanfare, right?"
"Isn't this wrong?" It may be that Sokov has been away from the 27th Army for too long. Even old subordinates like Chuvashov have forgotten his usual combat style. Chuvashov was confused. Said: "But the order given to us by our superiors is to launch an attack from the side of the German river defense position."
"Yes, your division's mission is to attack the side of the German river defense position." Sokov patiently explained to Chuvashov: "But the tactics used are different, and the casualties paid by the troops and the results achieved will be greatly different. difference."
Sokov's words gave Chuvashov a wake-up call. He remembered that the former commander in front of him had always been unique in his style of commanding operations. The battles he commanded were always able to win at the minimum cost. Achieve the greatest victory. This can be seen from the casualties suffered by the troops in the battle before and after Trofimenko took over the 27th Army.
"Comrade Commander," after thinking about this, Chuvashov humbly asked Sokov for advice: "Then what should we do?"
Sokov knew his identity very well. Although he was Chuvasov's old superior, he was not qualified to command the troops of the 27th Army as the commander of the 53rd Army. Therefore, he could only give the other party some suggestions tactfully. .
"Comrade Chuvashov, although I can't command you directly now, I can give you some suggestions." He pointed to the map and said to Chuvashov: "Although the Germans put their main defense forces in Germany, On the Dniester River, once they discover that one of our troops has appeared on the flank, they will definitely strengthen the defense on the flank. If you carry out a strong attack, I am afraid you will pay huge casualties.
Therefore, I suggest that your troops should use the cover of the terrain to quietly approach the German river defense positions. After getting close to the German position, launch a surprise attack so that the Germans can be caught off guard. "
"General Chuvashov." After listening for a while, Smirnov couldn't help but speak: "You know, in order not to affect the speed of the march, you did not carry any heavy weapons. If you are exposed prematurely, If you carry out your own intentions and attack the German defense lines, I'm afraid you will pay a heavy price." Early the next morning, a general walked into the headquarters from outside.
