After Sokov sent off several company commanders, he couldn't help but have a headache about the weapons and clothing needed by the new warriors.
Seeing Sokov's look frowning, Berkin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Comrade Battalion Commander, we have just added hundreds of soldiers. This is a happy thing. Why do you seem unhappy?"
"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander," Sokov complained to Belkin: "In the current logistical supply difficulties, our battalion has added more than 600 people. How should we solve the military uniforms and weapons they need?"
After Belkin waited for Sokov to finish speaking, he said with a relaxed expression: "The clothing matter is easy to deal with. No matter how difficult the logistics is, as long as we apply to the division headquarters, I believe that hundreds of military uniforms can be collected for us."
"Where are the weapons, who should we ask for to replenish them?" Sokov said with dissatisfaction: "In the report submitted the day before yesterday, I asked the division headquarters to replenish the weapons and ammunition consumed in the battle, but I was rejected. Without weapons, the soldiers could not fight. They could not hold wooden sticks and fight with the Germans, right?"
Belkin smiled, and he took out a piece of square paper from his pocket and handed it to Sokov, and said, "Comrade Battalion Commander, this is a telegram sent by Christopher. I think you will not be as troubled as you are now after reading it."
It was said that it was Christopher's telegram, and Belkin's confident expression, Sokov guessed that the content on the telegram must have some connection with the weapons he urgently needed. He quickly expanded the telegram and quickly browsed the content on it.
Christopher said in a telegram that on the way back to the nameless Heights, they accidentally discovered a German transit station. After repeated reconnaissance, they found that there were a large amount of weapons and ammunition, as well as various military supplies, and the defenders had only one platoon.
After reading the above content, Sokov put the telegram on the table, looked down at the map, and looked at the place Christopher mentioned. As soon as he started searching, Belkin had pointed to the specific location and gently tapped it with his fingers: "Comrade Battalion Commander, it's here!"
Sokov looked closely and found that wasn't it the location Christopher said in the telegram. He raised his head and smiled and said to Belkin, "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, you are very awesome, you will find the place in an instant."
Belkin grinned and replied, "I'm going to tell you, I've been looking at the map for the past two days you left, so I've remembered the location Christopher said for a long time."
When Sokov learned that Belkin had been studying the terrain for a long time, he understood that the other party must have thought of fighting the German army's transfer station, so he asked tentatively: "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, tell me your opinion. Do you think we should go to the German army's transfer station?"
Belkin said in a positive tone: "I think I should fight. But we need to study how to play carefully." He picked up the red and blue pencil on the table, drew a circle at the transfer station with the end without the tip, and said, "According to the information we obtained, there are German motorized division troops stationed on both sides of the transfer station. Once there is any movement in the transfer station, they can arrive within ten minutes. Therefore, we can only use sneak attack tactics to seize the enemy's transfer station."
Sokov did not immediately express his opinion, but just stared at the map and pondered repeatedly. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Belkin and asked, "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, according to your ideas, how many people should we send for our sneak attack?"
"My initial idea was to send a squad of twenty people to assist Christopher's reconnaissance team, sneak attack the transfer station, and burn down the materials stored by the enemy here." Belkin replied truthfully: "But now the situation has changed. We lack weapons, so it would be a pity to burn the supplies here. Therefore, I think at least one company of troops must be sent to move away the materials we need after seizing the transfer station."
"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, I agree with your plan." After hearing Belkin's plan, Sokov felt that it coincided with his own ideas. Next, he was about to discuss the details with the other party: "But have you ever thought about it? The enemy's transit station is only more than ten kilometers away from our position, and their vigilance must be very high. Once our army's actions are detected by the enemy and the sneak attack becomes a strong attack, what should we do if the German troops on both sides of the east and west come to reinforce? If we only dispatch one company, we cannot block the enemy while transporting supplies."
Sokov's words made Berkin realize that his considerations were not comprehensive enough, so he humbly asked: "Comrade Battalion Commander, then tell me, what should we do?"
"I plan to send two companies to complete the task of seizing the transit station." Sokov pointed to the map and said to Belkin: "One company is responsible for seizing the transit station, while the other company is responsible for blocking reinforcements on the road."
"Which two companies are you going to let to perform this task?" asked Belkin.
"The second company has the most complete system at present, and the machine gun company with the most powerful firepower is the machine gun company." Sokov said confidently: "The second company is responsible for seizing the transit station, while the machine gun company is responsible for blocking the enemy coming to aid."
As soon as Andrei and Vasily received Sokov's call, they immediately rushed to the battalion command post. After Andrei entered the door, he asked curiously: "Comrade Battalion Commander, are there anything important to call us in such a hurry?"
"Sit down." Berkin asked the two of them to sit down and continued, "Call you two over, because there is a combat mission to arrange."
When Vasily heard that there was a combat mission, he immediately lit up and asked: "Comrade Battalion Commander, are you going to launch an attack on the enemy south of the highland?"
Sokov raised his hand and slapped his helmet, saying unhappily: "Lieutenant Vasily, let a unit with only light weapons actively attack enemies equipped with tanks and cannons. Only you can think of such stupid things."
Vasia, who was criticized, had no expression of frustration on her face. On the contrary, she said with a smile: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I just said it casually, just kidding. Tell me quickly, I want to give us some combat missions?"
Sokov pointed to the map, told the two company commanders about his plan and Belkin, and divided the work of the two. Finally, he asked: "Is there any problem?"
"No problem." Vasia answered first: "I will never let an enemy pass through my blocking position until the transfer station is empty."
Andrei was silent for a long time and finally said: "Comrade Battalion Commander, although there are two hundred people in our company now, it is still very difficult to bring so many supplies back from more than ten kilometers away. The soldiers carried such heavy supplies and marched in the snow-covered forest. The speed was definitely not fast. Once they encountered the enemy, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses."
"I have considered this." Sokov continued: "You can bring more sleds. After you seize the transfer station, you can put all the seized supplies on the sled and then let the soldiers pull them back. This is much easier than carrying them on your shoulders."
Seeing that Sokov had taken into account everything he should consider, Andre finally asked: "When will we act?"
