"Second Lieutenant Samoilov," Sokov naturally would not let Ivanov do such a small thing personally, so he ordered Samoilov standing aside: "Go and bring all the tank soldiers here.
.”
"Yes!" Samoylov agreed, turned around and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Ivanov.
"Comrade Second Lieutenant," Ivanov walked up to Samoilov and asked, "I would like to ask, if the enemy uses the sewers to carry out a sneak attack, how will you deal with it?"
"Comrade Deputy Division Commander," upon hearing Ivanov's question, Samoilov grinned and said, "Didn't you notice that before you came out of the sewer, the soldier who led you learned two lessons?
Meow?"
After Samoylov's reminder, Ivanov remembered that the soldier acting as a guide had indeed learned to meow near the exit, so he nodded and asked curiously: "Is this your contact code?"
"That's right." Samoylov nodded vigorously and replied: "We are near the exit of the sewer, and there are always people watching. If you hear any movement inside, but there is no contact code, it must be the enemy, and there will be someone immediately.
Bullets and grenades greet them." After saying this, he turned and left the room.
"Comrade Commander," after Samoylov left, Ivanov felt that he needed to persuade Sokov to leave here, so he began to say: "This place is really too dangerous. You should go back to Mamayev Hill."
.”
"We have too few troops here and lack enough anti-tank weapons. Here, I can adjust the defense deployment at any time according to the situation on the battlefield." Sokov waved his hand to Ivanov and said: "I may not be able to do that for the time being.
Go back and leave the Mamayev Hills to you and Chief of Staff Sidorin."
Hearing what Sokov said, Ivanov promptly changed the subject: "Comrade division commander, I would like to ask where is the tank that director Peter gave us?"
"Currently we only have one tank here, which is hidden behind this building." Sokov pointed to the still burning tank wreckage in the square in the distance and said to Ivanov: "Deputy division commander, look
See those burning German tanks? They were all destroyed by that tank."
Ivanov silently counted the number of tank wreckage and said in surprise: "Oh my God, when did our tanks become so powerful? Even when we are at a numerical disadvantage, we can destroy so many enemy tanks."
.”
"It is a new type of tank that has been improved on the basis of the original T-34 and has become more powerful." Sokov introduced to Ivanov: "It is a pity that the Red October Factory has not yet mass-produced this tank.
Otherwise, with only forty such tanks, I would be confident of annihilating the German 24th Armored Division."
Regarding Sokov's statement, Ivanov felt in his heart that he was bragging, but out of politeness, he did not refute him. Instead, he changed the topic in time: "By the way, when will the other tanks be available?"
arrive?"
"I think we are on the way." As soon as Sokov finished saying this, a cannonball landed not far away and exploded, causing the dust on the ceiling above his head to fall. He dusted it with his hand.
With dust on his shoulders, he called a soldier and told him: "Go and call Lieutenant Agafond to me."
When Ivanov heard the name, he said thoughtfully: "Comrade Commander, the name you mentioned sounds familiar. Where does he come from?"
"It was the tank he drove just now that destroyed the German tanks on the square." Sokov looked at Ivanov and said: "As for you think his name is familiar, it's because you know him. He is at our headquarters.
Here is the tank lieutenant who was beaten by Guchakov."
"Ah, it's him?!" Ivanov asked in surprise: "How come he became Director Peter's subordinate again?"
"I didn't ask about this." Sokov shook his head and said: "Last time, Colonel Bely and Commander Chuikov interceded for him, hoping that I could give him a chance to atone for his crimes. I thought he would come to Terre now.
Zhinsky Factory participated in the battle. Unexpectedly, he stayed at the Red October Factory. When I saw him appearing in front of me, I was really surprised."
"Comrade division commander, although this tank trooper lieutenant has established meritorious service here today." Ivanov learned that Lieutenant Agafond would appear later, and deliberately reminded Sokov: "But you'd better not let him and Gu
When Lieutenant Chakov meets, maybe the two of them will fight again."
"Don't worry." Sokov said confidently: "I have arranged for Lieutenant Guchakov to go to the Old City. Before the battle to defend Stalingrad is over, I think there will be no chance for the two of them to meet."
"Comrade division commander, I have brought everyone here." As the two were talking, Samoylov had already led the tank crew into the room. Although the room Sokov chose as the observation post was not small,
About twenty people came in, and the room suddenly became crowded.
"Hello, comrades!" Sokov saw several familiar faces among the people who came in, so he waved to them and said, "Nice to see you here."
The tank crews from the guard battalion all knew Sokov. When they saw the division commander taking the initiative to greet them, they quickly responded in unison: "Hello, division commander!"
Before Sokov could speak, someone suddenly said at the door: "Comrades, please give way and let us in." Soon, two people squeezed out of the crowd. Sokov recognized them at a glance.
The two people involved were Lieutenant Agafond and the soldier he sent to find him.
The soldier came to Sokov and raised his hand to salute: "Comrade division commander, I have invited Lieutenant Agafond here!"
Agafoon also saluted Sokov and said respectfully: "Comrade Colonel, Lieutenant Agafoon of the Tank Corps reports to you. I have been ordered to come, please give instructions!"
"Comrade Lieutenant," Sokov pointed behind Agafond and said to him: "These soldiers are the tank soldiers I just transferred from Mamayev Heights. From now on, I will hand them over to your command.
"
Agafen turned his head and glanced behind him. Although he did not count them in detail, he still judged that there were more than ten or twenty people. He quickly turned to face Sokov and said: "Comrade Colonel, I don't understand. You gave me so many tank soldiers."
What to do? You know, I only have one tank, and I can’t fit so many people in it.”
"Lieutenant Agafond, Director Peter will soon send someone to send us five tanks. At that time, I will leave these tank crews and the newly arrived tanks to your command. I hope you will achieve more success in the next battle.
"Big results." After Sokov finished speaking, he habitually asked: "How is it? Are you confident?"
