In the evening, members of the 27th Army Headquarters led by Trofimenko and Samyko finally arrived in the city of Otats and settled in the school that Smirnov had prepared for them.
When the two sides met, first Trofimenko stepped forward to shake hands with Sokov, and then Chief of Staff Samyko. After shaking hands with Sokov, he actually gave him a bear hug, patted his back and said excitedly. : "Comrade Commander, it's great to see you safe and sound. You don't know that after you were injured and sent to Moscow, the commanders of all divisions were in chaos and said they would take the initiative to attack the enemy's positions. To avenge you.”
"Comrade Samek, please express my gratitude to those division commanders and tell them that I am still alive and well."
"I won't tell you this." Unexpectedly, Samyko let go of Sokov, took a step back, shook his head like a rattle and said: "Now the 27th Army is under your command again, and almost all division commanders are If you have anything to say to your old subordinates, you can tell them directly."
Now that the two commands have been merged together, Sokov naturally has to re-divide the division of labor. He serves as the commander of the combat cluster, Trofimenko serves as deputy commander, Samyko serves as chief of staff, and Smirnov serves as deputy commander. chief of staff.
Regarding Sokov's arrangement, Samyko put forward his own meaning: "Comrade Commander, I think General Smirnov is older than me in terms of seniority and age. He should be the chief of staff of the combat group, and I Can act as his second-in-command.”
"General Samyko, you are so humble." Smirnov said: "Although I am older and more senior than you, I am not as good as you in commanding operations. I will serve as your assistant. I have no complaints."
Seeing that Samyko seemed to want to say something else, Sokov raised his hand to stop him and said: "Chief of Staff Samyko, please don't refuse. Just be your chief of staff with peace of mind."
Next, Sokov informed the two of them about the recent combat situation.
When Trofimenko learned that Murovani Kurilivtsi and Sokilyani had been captured, and that the two cities were connected as a whole and became a combat group on the Dniester River. When he reached the salient of the German defense line on the right bank, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "My God, Comrade Commander, how did you do it? In such a short period of time, not only did you break through the enemy's defense line, but you also established a A salient that threatens the entire German defense line?"
"Comrade Deputy Commander," Sokov originally wanted to call Trofimenko by his name, but felt it was inappropriate and decided to address him by his title: "The enemy's defense line seems solid, but in fact it is riddled with holes. As long as we seize their weaknesses, there shouldn't be much of a problem in breaking through their defenses."
"Then what are your plans next?" Trofimenko asked.
"Come and see here." Sokov pointed to the map and explained to Trofimenko the offensive route discussed by him and Smirnov. "I plan to wait for our superiors to replenish our ammunition, then continue to advance westward, and The area north of Wingene extends into Romania."
After hearing this, Sameko showed an excited expression on his face. He raised his head and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, if our troops can be the first to enter Romania, they will have the opportunity to go down in history."
Hearing that he would get the chance to go down in history, Trofimenko was undecided. He tentatively asked Sokov: "Comrade Commander, when do you plan to order the troops to move westward?"
"I don't know yet." Sokov shook his head and said with regret: "It depends on when our superiors can replenish us with ammunition and fuel. Without these things, our tanks and artillery can only become decorations." .”
"Comrade Commander, I have an idea." Trofimenko asked cautiously: "Do you want to hear it?"
Although Sokov had a higher position than Trofimenko, his qualifications were far behind him, so he responded politely: "Please tell me, General Trofimenko."
"We can concentrate all the ammunition and fuel and give it to one or several troops for use." Trofimenko said: "In this way, we can launch an attack on the enemy as soon as possible."
After listening to Trofimenko's proposal, Samyko nodded slightly, seeming to agree with the other party's proposal. He turned his attention to Sokov, wanting to hear his answer.
"No," Sokov shook his head and replied curtly, "I don't agree."
"Why?" Trofimenko asked puzzledly, and then explained: "You know, in the early days of the war, we did this. The troops who received ammunition and fuel successfully tore apart the main force. The encirclement of the German army caused more commanders to escape."
"General Trofimenko," Sokov replied: "The situation today is different from when the war broke out, and our tactics must be adjusted in time according to changes in the situation.
You are right, giving all the ammunition and fuel to the assault troops will indeed increase their combat effectiveness. But have you ever thought that now that we are on the offensive, if the reinforced troops cannot break through the enemy's defense line and the troops behind are disarmed in disguise due to lack of ammunition, the situation will be unfavorable. our direction of development. "
Seeing Trofimenko's frustrated look, he added: "General Trofimenko is too anxious to drink hot soup, so we commanders must be patient and wait for the troops to do all the fighting." After preparation, it is not too late to attack the enemy."
"I understand, Comrade Commander." Trofimenko replied with a wry smile: "We will continue to advance deeper into the enemy's defenses after our superiors have given us enough ammunition and fuel." In the evening, Special The members of the 27th Army Headquarters led by Rofimenko and Samyko finally arrived in the city of Otats and settled in the school that Smirnov had prepared for them.
When the two sides met, first Trofimenko stepped forward to shake hands with Sokov, and then Chief of Staff Samyko.

"The Sword Comes"
