After Sokov put down the phone, he was thinking that if he were to go to a new unit, it might not be enough if he only brought regiment-level commanders. After all, his new position is the commander of the group army. He can't bypass the army commanders and division commanders and directly command the regiment commanders he brought over, right?
Samyko, who had just walked in from outside, did not know that Sokov had just answered an important phone call. He found the other party sitting there in a daze, so he walked over and asked curiously: "Comrade Commander, what are you thinking about?"
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov looked at Samyko and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it won't be long before I am no longer the commander of the combat group."
Sameko was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Why?"
The matter of Konev's transfer is still confidential at this moment. Naturally, Sokov will not tell Samyko casually. He can only say tactfully: "Because my superiors want to transfer me to other fronts, I can no longer continue to serve as the commander of the combat group." Member."
After figuring out what was going on, Sameko then asked: "Do you know which army you will go to?"
"I don't know." Sokov shook his head and said, "Anyway, I'm sure I'll leave here."
"Usually when you go to a new unit, you can choose some people to take with you." Sameko asked tentatively: "I wonder which people you plan to take with you?"
"The group of students I brought from the Frunze Military Academy." Sokov said: "Marshal Konev specially greeted me and said that when taking people away, they should not have an impact on the existing troops, so I We can only take them away."
"What about Lieutenant Colonel Ponedelin, Colonel Muzichenko and Colonel Kirillov?" Samyko said with some concern: "They are where they are today entirely because of your support. If Now that you're gone, I'm worried that the three of them will be unknowingly marginalized."
Samek's words reminded Sokov that these three people were the ones who had saved their futures. If he had been the commander of the combat group, they would not be treated unfairly. But if he leaves, who knows if the next commander will continue to value them?
Seeing that Sokov was silent, Samyko asked another key question: "Comrade Commander, after you leave, who will take over your post?"
"Who else, of course, is General Trofimenko." Sokov explained to Samyko: "He was originally the deputy commander of the combat group. When I, the commander, left, he came to replace me. Isn’t that a natural thing?”
Knowing that Trofimenko would take over Sokov's post, Samyko couldn't help but frowned: "Comrade Commander, isn't there someone else to take over your post?"
"Why do you say that?" Sokov asked.
"You were injured and left the 27th Army." Samyko said with a painful expression: "The person who took over your post was General Trofimenko. His command method is completely different from yours. In the next step Although our army achieved many victories during the battle, the casualties suffered were so serious that when Kiev was liberated, our army could only serve as a reserve unit responsible for monitoring enemies in secondary directions."
Sokov heard Samyko's worries from his words, and said with a smile: "Comrade Chief of Staff, don't worry, people always change. Although General Trofimenko's previous way of commanding operations, It is very different from my way, but after getting along with him for this period of time, he has been influenced by me to some extent. I believe that if another war breaks out, he will not make the same low-level mistakes as before."
Samyko heard from Sokov's words that there was no room for change in this matter. He could only sigh and said helplessly: "I hope so." After a moment of pause, he asked tentatively, "What? When is the time to leave?"
"I don't know about this either." Sokov said with a wry smile: "I will leave immediately as soon as the orders from my superiors are given."
Seeing that Sokov didn't know when he would be transferred or where he would be transferred, Samyko did not dwell on the matter, but changed the subject in time: "Comrade Commander, since you are leaving, So what will we do next?”
"I specifically consulted Marshal Konev on this matter." Sokov said: "Our purpose of launching the campaign has basically been achieved. In another week at most, this campaign will be over. In the following days , which means to replenish troops, weapons and ammunition, and wait until the time is right before launching a new offensive campaign."
When Sameko learned that the battle was about to end, he couldn't help but worry about the troops that had entered Romania: "Now that the battle is about to end, what should we do with our troops in Romania? Let them stay there, or should they all withdraw?" Come out?"
"It is impossible to withdraw, Comrade Chief of Staff." Sokov said to Sameko: "All our troops must stay in Romania, and we must seize the time to build fortifications and improve the defense system to prevent possible attacks by the German army. attack."
"That's right, since the battle is about to end, the superiors will definitely not let our troops attack again." Sameko said: "It is completely correct to let the troops in Romania turn to defense on the spot. I will wait for I’ll call several commanders soon and ask them to prepare to move to defense on the spot. At the same time, we will recruit migrant workers locally to prepare to build strong fortifications and establish a complete defense system.”
"Comrade Chief of Staff, it seems that you have thought very carefully." Sokov agreed with what Samyko said and told him: "Building fortifications requires a lot of manpower and construction resources are also indispensable. We We have already contacted Marshal Konev, and he said that he will notify the logistics department and provide us with a sufficient amount of construction materials to build fortifications." After Sokov put down the phone, he was thinking about what to do if he wanted to go to the new unit. , if we only bring regiment-level commanders, it may not be enough. After all, his new position is the commander of the group army. He can't bypass the army commanders and division commanders and directly command the regiment commanders he brought over, right?
