Sokov was really happy to see the captives and radio stations brought back by Samoilov. He patted Samoilov on the shoulder and said, "Good job, Lieutenant Samoilov."
When Samoilov was about to remind Sokov that he was a sergeant rather than a second lieutenant, he heard the other party continue: "You have destroyed this spy team, which is no less important than destroying an enemy regiment on the battlefield. If the enemy is destroyed and the ears and ears placed by us are destroyed, they will not be able to understand our reality."
After hearing what Sokov said, Samoilov understood in his heart that the other party called him a second lieutenant, but that he had promoted his military rank to commend his achievements.
"Comrade Brigade Commander, I have a bold idea." Berkin suddenly interrupted and said, "Maybe we can use the seized radio station to set a trap for the Germans."
"Use radio station to set traps for the Germans?" Sokov thought Belkin's proposal was good, so he asked with interest: "Comrade Political Commissar, how do you plan to get the enemy to the bait?"
"Didn't the Germans pretend to be officers of the Front Command and order us to withdraw from Mamayev?" Berkin said with a smile: "We can use this to make a fuss."
Sokov understood what Belkin meant, and nodded, saying, "This is a try, but the premise is that the captured German radio operator is willing to send this telegram to the Germans."
"Comrade Brigade Commander, give me the German radio operator." Samoilov, who had just been promoted to lieutenant, was eager to perform well in front of Sokov, so he volunteered: "I promise to let him cooperate with us unconditionally."
"Comrade Lieutenant, be careful when you do it." Cidolin interrupted: "The fake major died not long after you interrogated him. Don't kill this radio operator, otherwise our plan will not be implemented."
Samoilov grinned twice and said, "Comrade Chief of Staff, please rest assured. I will pay attention to the seriousness this time and will never kill the prisoners."
"Okay, Comrade Lieutenant, take the prisoner down. When he is willing to cooperate with us, bring him back." After Sokov sent Samoilov away, he said to Sidolin and Belkin: "Now let's study the details."
"There are fuel-filled oil storage tanks on Beigang. If the war starts there, once the oil tank is detonated, the consequences will be unimaginable, so we can only choose the battlefield in Nangang." At the beginning of the meeting, Sokov made the first speech and locked the combat area in Nangang: "You can say anything you have."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cidolin continued: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I think the enemy can be put into our tunnels and use their unfamiliarity with the terrain to eliminate them all..."
"No, Comrade Chief of Staff, your plan is not possible." Before Sidolin finished speaking, Sokov denied his proposal: "Even if we take the initiative to let the enemy discover the entrance to the tunnel, they will not enter easily. Instead, they will send several soldiers into the tunnel to reconnaissance. Only after confirming that there is nothing wrong, a large group of people will enter one after another. As long as the enemy's scout discovers the troops hidden in the tunnel, our plan will fail."
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Belkin knew that Sokov had many ideas, so he did not give any comments casually, but asked tentatively: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
"Retreat all the troops into the tunnel and give all the surface positions of Nangang to the Germans." Sokov said without hesitation: "After the enemy occupied our positions, our tunnel troops are taking advantage of the night to attack and eliminate the enemies occupying the surface positions."
Regarding Sokov's proposal, Belkin was silent for a long time, and then said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, your plan is a bit risky. Have you ever considered what if the German army immediately launched an attack in the direction of the dock after occupying our surface position? You must know that there is no defense in the direction of the dock and it cannot stop the enemy's attack at all."
"Comrade Brigade Commander," said Sokov, pointing to the east of Nangang with his finger, "We can establish a temporary defensive position to the east, so that even if the enemy rushes down from the hills, we will block them."
Sidolin's proposal made Sokov more confident in his plan: "If the enemy attacks directly in the direction of the dock after occupying the surface position, the troops in the tunnel can attack immediately and attack them with the troops serving as the blocking force in the east."
After making the plan, Belkin reminded Sokov again: "Comrade Brigade Commander, this matter is of great importance. Do you think you should report to the Group Army Command?"
In fact, even if Belkin did not remind him, Sokov was ready to report to Cui Kov. If he did not say hello to Cui Kov, he would give up his superficial position to the Germans and let Cui Kov know, and he would definitely come over with a pistol to take his life.
After the phone was connected, Sokov heard Cuikov's voice coming from the receiver and quickly said to him: "Comrade Commander, I am Sokov, I have an important thing to report to you."
"What's the matter?" Cui Kefu asked with a very fast speech.
"Comrade Commander, we have caught several spies sent by the Germans." Sokov concisely pretended to be an officer of the Front Command, ordered his troops to withdraw from Mamayev's post and sent troops to capture the spies, and reported to Cuikov. He finally said: "Because we acted quickly and the spies had not had time to send a warning signal, our hiding place was taken away by us. Therefore, I plan to use the trick and lead the German army to the bait."
"Turn the German army to the bait?" Cuikov sneered when he heard this, and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, do you think the Germans will be fooled by you?"
"We captured the radio operator in the secret service team alive." Sokov took the initiative to report to him in order to increase Cuikov's confidence: "I have handed him over to Lieutenant Samoilov to deal with. The Lieutenant is the sergeant who saw the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when we were on the southern line."
"Oh, they are already second lieutenant." Cui Kefu asked in surprise: "The military rank has been promoted quite quickly. What contributions have he made?"
"We were able to capture the hidden German spy, and Lieutenant Samoilov made a great contribution." Sokov explained: "It was him who had taken out the hidden place of other spys from the mouth of the captive who could not speak."
"It seems that the inner security forces are quite good at interrogating prisoners." Cui Kefu said: "As long as the captured radio operator is willing to cooperate with you, I will agree with your action plan."
