"Tell me, Comrade Lieutenant." Sokov nodded at Samoilov and said, "If you have any questions, just ask."
"Comrade Commander, I want to ask, how long is the duration of our battle behind enemy lines this time?" Samoilov asked tentatively: "Three days, five days, or one week?"
"There is no deadline." Sokov shook his head and said, "As long as you can survive behind enemy lines, you can stay as long as you are willing to."
"Then I have no problem."
Sokov turned his attention to Guchakov: "What about you, Lieutenant Guchakov, do you have any questions to ask me?"
"No." Guchakov shook his head vigorously and replied expressionlessly: "I have no problem, comrade instructor."
Taflin, who had the lowest position, waited for Sokov to turn his eyes to him, and before the other party could speak, he said first: "Comrade Commander, can I make a request?"
"Yes," Sokov said rationally: "If you have any requests, I will definitely agree to you as long as they are within my ability."
"Comrade Commander, in order to better hope that you will give us the tasks you have assigned us." Tavlin said with a serious expression: "I hope you can provide us with several German armored vehicles and enough German uniforms."
"Comrade Sergeant, what do you want these things to do?" Before Sokov could speak, Cidolin asked with a frown.
"Our army has been deeply behind enemy lines many times, which must have aroused the enemy's alertness. As long as we change into German uniforms, we can easily pass through the enemy's defense line. As for armored vehicles," Tavlin said this, leaned over and looked at the map on the table, and gestured with his hands. "There are only 30 people in the squad. Eliminate the warriors who explore and carry the launching tube, the remaining people can only carry at most fifty rockets. With such heavy equipment on their backs, our movements will be extremely slow and the combat radius will be very limited. If we have armored vehicles, not only can the number of rockets carried can be increased, but the mobility of the troops can also be improved, thereby expanding the combat radius of large and small teams and attacking the enemy in a wider area."
"Sergeant Taflin, you make a lot of sense." Sokov echoed Tifflin's idea: "If the team is equipped with armored vehicles, it can greatly improve mobility and expand the scope of movement, it is a good suggestion. Chief of Staff, how many armored vehicles are there in our underground garage?"
"I'll check it out." Sidolin picked up the notebook and looked through it for a moment, then looked up and said to Sokov: "There are five armored vehicles in the underground garage, all of which are transferred to the squad?"
"It's not enough to use so many, three are enough." Sokov saw everyone looking at him with confusion, and explained to them: "If there are too many vehicles used, it will attract the attention of the enemy. I don't want our intention to fight because of this. A car can hold ten soldiers and can also hold twenty or thirty rockets. Even if there are only three cars, they can carry hundreds of rockets."
"It's still the teacher who thought it carefully." After hearing Sokov's explanation, Cidolin said with a smile: "Even the details of the possible leakage of identity are considered."
"Lieutenant Guchakov," Sokov pointed at Guchakov with his hand and told him: "Each car you must be equipped with a German-speaking soldier, so that even if you encounter enemies on the road, you will not reveal any flaws."
Guchakov glanced at Tavlin beside him and asked, "In addition to this Sergeant Tavlin, there are two other German-speaking warriors, where should we find it?"
"Don't worry about this." Sokov said to Samoilov: "The second lieutenant will choose a suitable translator for you."
"Comrade Commander," Guchakov asked the question and felt that he should select the team members next, so he asked Sokov carefully: "Are we allowed to leave?"
"Wait a moment, comrade Lieutenant." Sokov pointed to the map and said to Guchakov: "Since the Mamayev hill and the front of the Workers' New Village are both Romanian troops, you cannot go directly through their defense zone when you set out to avoid being exposed."
"Do you pass through the enemy's defensive positions directly from the direction of the barricade factory?" Guchakov finished speaking, and immediately shook his head vigorously and denied his view: "No, that direction cannot be done, there is fierce battle between the enemy and us. Even if we wear German uniforms, it is not easy for us to pass through the defense line smoothly."
"The enemy must have been on guard against us for a long time. We will send troops deep into their rears. In the area of ​​the war, we will definitely be on high alert," Sokov continued: "After you leave Mamayev's hill, you will first drive south, wait until the defense zone away from the Romanian army, and then turn around to the west to a large circle, and go around the enemy who attacked the barricade factory and the Derrensky factory."
Sidolin glanced at the big circle where Sokov was gestured with his hands on the map and said with interest: "Comrade Commander, the circle of the team is quite large, thirty or forty kilometers. If you hike, it will take at least one or two days to walk. Fortunately, they have armored vehicles to travel and can reach their destination in one or two hours."
"If conditions permit, you can consider dividing troops and sending a car to find the German command center." Sokov said to Guchakov and Samoilov: "Even if you kill only one regiment-level command center of the enemy, it can disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm. Do you understand?"
"I understand, comrade of the division commander." The two agreed with Sokov's statement very much. The enemy's regiment-level command post is usually more than ten kilometers away from the front. Since it is far away from the combat area, its vigilance is not that high. As long as you can find the exact position and a few rockets fly over, you can kill the enemy's command.
"Samoilov, you take Lieutenant Guchakov to find Major Tenev, and say it was my order to ask him to select the right person from the guard battalion to form this enemy-behind team." After Sokov finished speaking, he waved to several people: "You go now."
After the three of them left, Sokov asked Ivanov: "Where did the deputy division commander and political commissar Comrade Anisimov go? Why haven't he seen him until now?"
"He has been staying in the tunnel in Beigang." Seeing Sokov ask Anisimov, Ivanov asked back, "Do you have anything important to ask him?"
"Do you think the soldiers are too bored to stay in the tunnel? Besides our defense zone, they always know nothing about what is happening elsewhere?" Sokov sighed and said, "I plan to ask the political commissar to arrange personnel and install horns in the tunnel so that the soldiers can understand the situation outside at any time."
"I'll call the political commissar later," Ivanov quickly said with great care when he heard such a small matter: "Let him arrange comrades from the division's political department as soon as possible to install horns in the tunnel."
"It's a trivial matter to install speakers in the tunnel, but who will come to Boeing?" Cidolin asked with a frown: "You know, the radio stations in the city have long been occupied by the Germans. Not to mention our division-level units, even the Group Army Command has no chance to hear the outside world through the radio."
After hearing Sidolin's concerns, Ivanov thought for a while and replied: "Lieutenant Colonel Papuchinko called me two days ago and said that they had seized two radios. Can the political commissar arrange two announcers to broadcast the news we heard from the radio to the soldiers in the tunnel?"
"What do you think, Comrade Chief of Staff?" Sokov did not give an answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Cidolin on the side and asked, "I think the deputy commander's proposal is good."
