"Comrade Commander, listen, he has already admitted it." Guchakov pointed at the other party and said angrily to Sokov: "I hope you can uphold justice for me."
Upon hearing Guchakov's request, Sokov and Ivanov looked at each other solemnly, each seeing the helplessness in the other's pupils. Although the tank lieutenant had killed dozens of commanders and soldiers because of his cowardice,
He was captured, but he was not one of his subordinates, and he really had no right to deal with him.
Just when Sokov was in a dilemma, Anisimov coughed heavily, and then said: "Two comrades, the division commanders, although the cowardice of the tank lieutenant caused Guchakov and others to suffer.
It is a fact that he was captured by the enemy. But the lieutenant is not from our division. I think it is better to send someone back to the headquarters and hand him over to General Orel."
Regarding Anisimov's proposal, Sokov thought it was the best way to deal with it at present, so he nodded and said to Anisimov: "Comrade Political Commissar, then you will send this lieutenant back to the headquarters.
Seryosha," at this point, he turned and shouted to Seryosha, "call Samoilov and ask him to escort the political commissar and lieutenant to the army headquarters."
Samoilov had been looking forward to participating in the battle, but Sokov always took him and the Third Platoon with him, which made him feel very depressed. This time when he went to Liumian Street for reinforcements, he took it upon himself to occupy the area with the Third Platoon.
He built two buildings and destroyed the enemies attacking the community from a high position. Worried about being scolded by Sokov, he deliberately hid far away on the way back. When Seryosha called him, he thought Sokov was preparing to
He raised an army to investigate, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the headquarters.
Unexpectedly, when he walked into the headquarters, Sokov did not say anything reproachful. He pointed at a tank soldier lieutenant whose face was covered with wounds and said to him: "Second Lieutenant Samoilov, I now give you an important task."
The mission is to escort the political commissar and the tank lieutenant to the army headquarters. You must promise me to protect their personal safety."
Seeing that Sokov did not pursue him, Samoilov's heart hanging in his throat returned to his stomach. He quickly straightened his back and replied: "Comrade Commander, please don't worry. I will definitely take the political commissar safely."
Sent to headquarters with this lieutenant."
After sending away the political commissar and the tank lieutenant, Sokov suddenly remembered that he still didn't know the name of the man, so he turned to look at Ivanov and asked: "By the way, Comrade Deputy Division Commander, what is the name of that lieutenant?"
But before Ivanov could say it, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I'm not interested in this coward's name, so just don't say it." Then facing Guchakov, he said, "Lieutenant Guchakov
, I went to inspect the Third Battalion a few days ago, and Captain Andre told me that he lacked capable assistants. I am now officially informing you that from now on, you will resume your original position and rank, and continue to return to the Third Battalion to command.
Troops."
When Guchakov violently beat up the tank lieutenant, he was already prepared to be sent to a military court by Sokov. Unexpectedly, Sokov not only did not blame himself, but also reinstated his officer. I couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing Guchakov standing there in a daze, Ivanov frowned and asked him dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Lieutenant, why don't you speak? Don't you know what you should say after receiving a promotion to a position and military rank?"
?”
Ivanov's words woke Guchakov out of his daze. He quickly faced Sokov, straightened his body and said loudly: "Serve the Soviet Motherland!"
Hearing what Guchakov said, Ivanov showed a kind smile on his face: "Comrade Lieutenant, I hope you can make meritorious deeds again after returning to the army."
Regarding the reinstatement of Officer Guchakov and his return to the city to participate in the battle, Sokov felt that he should vent his anger with the commander of the third battalion, Captain Andrei, so he asked the communications troops to connect to the third battalion command post. As soon as he heard that Andrei
He asked loudly: "Comrade Captain, I am Sokov."
Andrei, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Sokov's voice and quickly asked respectfully: "Comrade Commander, what are your instructions?"
"Comrade Captain, I have something to inform you. From now on, Lieutenant Guchakov will be reinstated and return to your camp to continue commanding the troops." Sokov said very quickly without giving the other party a chance to speak.
: "In the coming days, you may face many difficulties, so I have specially formulated a tactic to deal with this situation. I will let Guchakov inform you of the specific situation when he returns."
Andrei has always had unconditional trust in Sokov. When he heard what he said, he immediately expressed his stance and said: "That's great. With your new tactics, I believe we will be more confident in gaining a foothold in the city.
"
After putting down the phone, Sokov called Guchakov to the table and said to him: "Comrade Lieutenant, I believe you still remember the idea I proposed on Liumian Street to cleverly combine the sewers with our fortifications.
Tactics?"
After seeing Guchakov nodding in affirmation, Sokov continued: "In the old city where the third battalion is currently holding, sewer pipes are crisscrossed. If Andre uses the tactics properly, then you can use
A very small number of troops can contain the enemy's main force..."
When Guchakov was in Liumian Street, he heard Sokov explaining to Seryosha and Aglanov how to use the sewers to coordinate the defense and attack of the defenders in the building. He will soon return to the old city to continue commanding
His subordinates were fighting against the Germans, so they listened very carefully to the tactics Sokov said. They even raised questions about some details, and Sokov patiently answered them one by one.
In order to get Andrei to pay enough attention to this matter, Sokov repeatedly told Guchakov: "Lieutenant Guchakov, please tell Captain Andrei that in the coming days, the situation will become very serious.
It will be difficult, but the division may not be able to provide you with personnel supplements, so you have to rely on yourself for everything. If you want to defend the defense area with your existing troops, you must skillfully combine fortifications and sewers and strike hard.
Enemy, in this case, the role played by one of your battalions may be greater than that of a regiment or even a division. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Guchakov quickly replied loudly: "I understand, comrade division commander, I will convey your words to Captain Andrei exactly as they are."
Sokov stretched out his hand to Guchakov and said sincerely: "Comrade Lieutenant, I am waiting for your good news and wish you good luck!"
