After Geria returned to the defense zone, she was immediately summoned to the division headquarters.
At the division headquarters, he met Sokov, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and quickly raised his hand to salute: "Hello, Comrade Commander, I'm very happy to see you here."
"Captain, your night attack is doing well," Sokov said with a smile: "Based on the information we have, the Imperial Master is now in chaos."
"Comrade Commander, we encountered a German motorcycle patrol on our way back." Geria reported to Sokov with some confidence: "We wiped out this patrol, but I am worried that the enemy might know that last night's sneak attack was done by us."
"If you know, you know. What's so amazing." Sokov said without any worries: "Our main force is entering this area one after another. Even if the enemy does not come to attack us, we will deal with them."
"Ah, our main force is here?" Geria was overjoyed when she heard the news: "Comrade Commander, are you all saying true?"
"There is still a falsehood," Sokov said: "If the enemy does not attack us, they can live for a while. But if they take the initiative to attack, they will not be far from destruction."
"Comrade Commander, if you want to attack the enemy, please make sure that we will serve as the vanguard." Geria said to Sokov with confidence: "I promise you that my troops will never let you down."
Seeing that Geria's enthusiasm for fighting was so high, Sokov nodded with satisfaction, praised the other party for a while, and asked him to go back to rest. After Geria left, Sokov said to Khokhlov: "Comrade Colonel, since other divisions are moving into Shumakovo one after another, your division's defense area can be narrowed. Except for Lieutenant Colonel Goriachkin's 546th Regiment, the rest of the troops have been withdrawn as reserves."
"Okay, comrade Commander." Khokhlov was overjoyed to learn that Sokov was preparing to reduce his defense area. In this way, he had a reserve team in his hands and did not have to worry about not sending troops to reinforce when the battle was fierce. "I will immediately arrange for the other two regiments and friendly forces to complete defense."
Just as the 182nd Division handed over defense to the troops who arrived in Shumakovo, the German motorcycle company, who was sent by Tansen to reconnaissance, also obtained the information they wanted and immediately reported to Tansen.
"What, what did you say?" After listening to the report of the company commander of the motorcycle company, Tansen asked in surprise: "Did you really see clearly that the Russians have built dense fortifications in the direction of Shumakovo?"
"Yes, Master."
"Captain, the Russian troops stationed there are really affiliated with Sokov's 27th Army?"
"Yes, Master."
After getting the information he least wanted to hear from the commander of the motorcycle company, Tansen waved his hand at him and signaled that he could leave. After the captain left his command center, Tansen said to his chief of staff with a frost face: "Chief of Staff, do you think the situation they have detected is reliable?"
"Sir, I think it's totally reliable," said the chief of staff cautiously: "If the captain reports to us that other Russian troops stationed in Shumakovo are there, we can attack there at any time. But if the troops that are stuck there are the 27th Army of Sokov, we have to consider how to avoid fighting in that direction."
"If we do not advance in Shumakovo, we must give General Hauser a sufficient reason." Tansen said somewhat annoyed: "We cannot tell him, Mr. Commander, that we have found that the Russians stationed in Shumakovo's direction may be troops under Sokov's command, so we will give up the attack on that direction?"
"Your Excellency," the chief of staff of the division reminded Tansen: "Although we are currently unable to determine whether the Russian troops stationed in Shumakovo are the 27th Army under Sokov's command, we still need to report this information to General Hauser immediately."
"Okay, Chief of Staff." Seeing that his Chief of Staff proposed such a plan, Tansen sighed and said, "You will be responsible for the reporting matter."
Fortunately, the Chief of Staff had long guessed that Tansen would leave such a scolding to himself. As soon as Tansen finished speaking, he picked up the phone on the table and asked the communications soldier to connect to Hauser's command center: "Your Excellency, I am the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Division. I have an important thing now and need to report to you immediately."
"Tell me, Chief of Staff." The troops were nervous and smooth in several directions, which made Hausel feel very happy: "What's important?"
"Mr. Commander, our Third Grenadier Regiment was attacked by a rocket launched by the Russians in the early morning of this morning, and suffered huge losses." The Chief of Staff felt that before reporting the attack on Shumakovo, he should report to Hausel first.
"What, your Third Grenadier Regiment was suddenly attacked by the Russians?" Haussel did not hear clearly what the Chief of Staff said was a rocket attack. He thought the Soviet army took advantage of the night to attack the camp, so he asked, "How many troops have they dispatched?"
"Mr. Commander, I think it's hard for me to answer your question." The Chief of Staff replied awkwardly: "The Russians attacked our camp with their new rockets, causing huge casualties to our army. After all this, they had already fled, and we had no idea how many troops they had dispatched."
When Hauser heard the Chief of Staff mentioned the new rocket, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He thought he wouldn't have encountered Sokov's troops? Among so many Russian troops he had fought, the one that caused his most headache was Sokov. "Do you know which Russian troops did it?"
"Your Excellency, the division commander and I went to the camp where the attack was investigated. It should be caused by the Russians' new rockets." The chief of staff of the division reported to Hauser: "We have discovered even more traces of tracking tracks of armored vehicles. We found that the Russians who carried out the sneak attack were from the Shumakovo area."
"Have they figured out their numbers?"
"Yes, your rank, you have figured it out." The chief of staff of the division said on the phone: "It is the Russian 182nd Infantry Division. According to the information we have, this infantry division belongs to the 27th Army."
"Who is their commander of the Russian 27th Army?" After saying this, Hauser couldn't help but feel shocked, and then asked nervously: "It's not the Sokov who makes us headache?"
"That's right." The chief of staff of the division replied affirmatively: "This unit is indeed affiliated with the 27th Army of Sokov."
"Damn it, damn it." Haussel said repeatedly: "Shouldn't his troops be in Kosky? How could they appear here? You know, their defense zone is more than 300 kilometers away from Shumakovo. How could they build a defense line in the Shumakovo area in such a short time?"
