After Sokov returned to the nameless highlands, he drafted a report, which was originally planned to send people to the division headquarters. However, after hearing that they attacked the German transit station at night and achieved great results, Cherneshov immediately changed his mind and asked Sokov to send the report to the division headquarters in person, and he wanted to learn about the detailed combat process.
On the way to Suxinic, Sokov was still complaining that Chernesov was a little bit of a big deal. Last night was just a small-scale battle. It was enough to submit a report by yourself. Do you still need to go to the division headquarters in person?
When Sokov walked into the division headquarters, he unexpectedly found that Rokosovsky was also there. He hurriedly saluted Rokosovsky: "Hello, Comrade Commander!"
"Hello, Captain Sokov." Rokosovsky stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that you did a good job last night. You seized a large amount of German supplies, and a fire burned all the things you could not take away, leaving nothing for the Germans."
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Sokov could still vaguely see the black smoke rising from the direction of the transit station when he left the nameless high ground, so there was no need for him to deny the actions he had taken last night. "I led two companies to attack a German transit station last night and achieved some insignificant results."
Hearing Sokov say this, Rokosovsky laughed, and turned his head to Chernesov next to him and said, "It seems that Captain Sokov is very modest. He thinks that such a great victory last night is insignificant."
After Rokosovsky finished speaking, Chernesov said to Sokov with a smile: "Comrade Captain, a German telegram we intercepted this morning, the German commander Von Giles has been dismissed."
Sokov knew that the Von Giles mentioned in Chernesov was the commander of the German military advisor who had occupied Sushinic. He asked in confusion: "Comrade Commander, Comrade Commander, you have confused me. What does this Von Giles have to do with me when he was dismissed?"
"Why is it okay?" Cherneshov saw Sokov's confused look on his face, and explained to him: "The Germans transported a batch of winter clothes, which could probably be equipped with two divisions. It was stored at the transit station where you attacked. I originally wanted to distribute it to various troops today, but I was burned completely by you last night. After Hitler learned the news, he immediately ordered the removal of Von Giles's position as division commander."
After listening to Cherneshov's explanation, Sokov secretly sighed in his heart: This is really a shameless way to plant willows. He just wants to get some weapons and ammunition to arm the newly added soldiers. The winter clothes stored in the transfer station are not capable of transporting them away. In order not to leave them to the Germans, he can only burn them. Unexpectedly, by accident, Hitler removed his position as a German commander.
After Rokosovsky asked Sokov to sit down, he poured him a cup of hot tea himself, and then asked with a smile: "Misha, did you get a good harvest last night?"
Hearing Rokosovsky called his nickname and asking about the outcome of last night, Sokov could not help but arouse Sokov's alertness. He quickly cried and said, "Comrade Commander, the weapons and equipment we seized during our operations last night can be equipped with at least one infantry regiment. But we cannot turn over these weapons and ammunition."
Sokov's words aroused Rokosovsky's interest, and he asked with great interest: "Why can't you hand over it?"
"Comrade Commander, you should remember that our battalion is full of German equipment. The ammunition required cannot be supplemented from our army's logistics department, and can only be seized by us." In order to dispel Rokosovsky's idea of ​​finding himself to equipment, Sokov specifically emphasized: "The seized ammunition seems to be a lot, but if we want to continue to stick to the nameless highland, these ammunition can only last for half a month at most..."
After hearing this, Rokosovsky laughed ha ha. He pointed at Sokov, but looked at Chernesov and said, "See, Comrade Sokov. Captain Sokov is more careful than our logistics minister. Otherwise, you just give up and give him to me. I will arrange for him to work in the logistics department."
"Please forgive me, comrade Commander." Hearing Rokosovsky say this, Chernesov immediately said politely and with an attitude, "With my understanding of Captain Sokov, it is the most appropriate for him to compete with the invaders at the forefront."
"Okay, OK." Rokosovsky waved his hand to Chernesov and said, "I'll just make a joke to you, you're serious." After that, he turned his eyes to Sokov, "Misha, I've given you an order before, do you still remember?"
"I remember, Comrade Commander." Sokov agreed loudly, and then reiterated the order clearly: "You said: You are not allowed to take a step back before you get your order; and, in the same way, you are not allowed to move forward at will."
"That's right, it's this order." Rokosovsky nodded and said to Sokov: "From now on, in addition to the order not to give up the position to take a step back and continue to be effective. Whether to push the defensive position forward depends on the specific situation."
Before Sokov could speak, Rokosovsky continued: "Also, the number of people in your battalion is increasing, but the rank of commanders is not high. I officially announce to you that from now on, you will be promoted to the rank of major, and the company commanders will be promoted to captains. As for the ranks of the other squad platoon leaders, you report to the Commander of Cherneshov, and he will help you make adjustments."
Sokov did not expect that his military rank would be promoted inadvertently, and his company commanders were promoted to the rank of captains. Faced with such good news, he didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, after coming to his senses, he hurriedly raised his hand to his forehead and said loudly: "Thank you, Comrade Commander! I promise you that all the commanders and fighters of Istria and I will definitely not let your trust down."
Rokosovsky picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Major Sokov, now you can report to me and Commander Chernesov in detail about your battle last night."
