After Sokov returned to the unknown heights, he drafted a report, which he originally planned to send to the division headquarters. However, after Chernyshev heard that they attacked the German transfer station at night and achieved great results, he
He immediately changed his mind and asked Sokov to send the report to the division headquarters in person. He wanted to know the detailed battle process.
On the way to Sushinich, Sokov was still complaining that Chernyshev was making a fuss. Last night was just a small-scale battle. It was enough to hand in a report, and he also needed to run a car in person.
Going to the division headquarters?
When Sokov walked into the division headquarters, he unexpectedly found Rokossovsky there. He quickly saluted Rokossovsky: "Hello, Comrade Commander!"
"Hello, Captain Sokov." Rokossovsky stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that you did a good job last night, seizing a large amount of German supplies and returning a fire that could not be taken away.
It was all burned and nothing was left for the Germans."
"Yes, Comrade Commander." When Sokov left the unknown heights, he could still vaguely see the black smoke rising from the direction of the transfer station, so there was no need for him to deny the actions taken last night. "I led two men last night.
A company went to attack a German transfer station and achieved some negligible results."
Hearing what Sokov said, Rokossovsky laughed. He turned to Chernyshov next to him and said: "It seems that Captain Sokov is very humble. With such a big victory last night,
He thought it was trivial."
After Chernyshov waited for Rokossovsky to finish speaking, he smiled and said to Sokov: "Comrade Captain, a German telegram we intercepted this morning stated that the German division commander von Giles has been dismissed."
Sokov knew that the von Giles Chernyshov was talking about was the division commander of the German division that originally occupied Sushinich. He asked in confusion: "Comrade commander, comrade division commander, you are going to kill me."
I'm confused. What does Feng Giles' dismissal have to do with me?"
"It doesn't matter." Seeing Sokov's confused look, Chernyshev explained to him: "The Germans have shipped a batch of winter clothes, which can probably equip two divisions. They are stored in the place where you attacked.
The transfer station was originally intended to be distributed to various units today, but it was completely burned down by you last night. When Hitler learned the news, he immediately ordered the removal of von Giles from the position of division commander."
After listening to Chernyshev's explanation, Sokov secretly sighed in his heart: This is really unintentional. He just wants to get some weapons and ammunition to arm his newly added soldiers. Those winter clothes stored in the transfer station
, he had no ability to transport it away. In order not to leave it to the Germans, he had no choice but to burn it. Unexpectedly, an unexpected combination of circumstances caused Hitler to dismiss a German division commander.
After Rokossovsky invited Sokov to sit down, he personally poured him a cup of hot tea, and then asked with a smile: "Misha, the harvest last night was good, right?"
Hearing Rokossovsky calling his nickname and asking about the results of last night's battle, Sokov couldn't help but arouse Sokov's alertness. He quickly said with a sad face: "Comrade Commander, during our operation last night,
The seized weapons and equipment can equip at least one infantry regiment. But we cannot hand over these weapons and ammunition."
Sokov's words aroused Rokossovsky's interest, and he asked with interest: "Why can't it be turned over?"
"Comrade Commander, you should remember that our battalion is all equipped with German weapons and equipment. The required ammunition cannot be replenished from our army's logistics department and can only rely on our usual seizures." Sokov tried to dissuade Rokoso.
Looking for equipment for himself, Fsky emphasized: "The captured ammunition seems to be a lot, but if we continue to hold on to the unknown high ground, these ammunition can only last for half a month at most..."
After Rokossovsky heard this, he laughed heartily. He pointed at Sokov, but looked at Chernyshev and said: "You see, comrade division commander. Captain Sokov is better than our logistics
The minister is also very careful about his budget. Otherwise, you can give him up and give him to me, and I will arrange for him to work in the logistics department."
"Excuse me, Comrade Commander." Upon hearing Rokossovsky's words, Chernyshev immediately said politely and with an attitude, "Based on my understanding of Captain Sokov, at the forefront and on the battlefield...
**The gun-to-gun battle between the invaders is the most suitable for him."
"Okay, okay." Rokossovsky waved his hand to Chernyshev and said, "I just told you a joke, and you took it seriously." After saying that, he turned his eyes to Solo again.
Cove, "Misha, I gave you an order before, do you remember it?"
"I remember, Comrade Commander." Sokov agreed loudly, and then repeated the order clearly: "You said: You are not allowed to take a step back before getting your order; similarly, you are not allowed to take a step back.
Just take a step forward."
"Yes, that's the order." Rokossovsky nodded and said to Sokov: "From now on, in addition to the order not to abandon the position and take a step back, it will continue to be valid. Should we move the defensive position towards
To move forward, it is up to you to make decisions based on the specific situation and when the opportunity arises.”
Before Sokov could speak, Rokossovsky continued: "Also, the number of people in your battalion is increasing, but the rank of the commander is not high. I officially announce to you that from now on
, you are promoted to the rank of major, and the company commanders of each company are promoted to captain. As for the ranks of the remaining squad and platoon leaders, you report it to Division Commander Chernyshev, and he will help you make adjustments."
Sokov did not expect that his military rank would be promoted inadvertently, and his company commanders would also be promoted to the rank of captain. Faced with such good news, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Okay. After a moment, he came to his senses and hurriedly raised his hand to his forehead and said loudly: "Thank you, Comrade Commander! I assure you that I and all the commanders and fighters of the Istria Battalion will definitely live up to our expectations."
Your trust.”
Rokossovsky picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Major Sokov, now you can report the details of your battle last night to me and Commander Chernyshev.
Passed."
"Yes!" Sokov agreed resoundingly, and began to report to Rokossovsky and Chernyshev. He explained how to seize the transfer station, and how to finally transport the supplies and burn the remaining supplies.
He told the two men about the incident in detail. Since he had personally experienced the battle and had some eloquence, he told the whole battle vividly, so that Rokossovsky and the others could hear it.
