"Has the location of the Army Group Headquarters also been bombed by enemy planes?" Sokov heard what Chuikov said and quickly asked with concern: "Our air force can send planes to fly enemy planes from the sky above Stalingrad.
Drive away?"
"Before I came here, the area where the headquarters is located was bombed by enemy planes, causing us a certain amount of casualties." When he mentioned the bombing by enemy planes, Chuikov frowned: "Comrade Military Commissar Gurov
When I went to inspect the 37th Guards Division, I was bombed by the enemy. The headquarters of the Guards Division was blown down, and he and Zoludev were buried in the rubble. Their lives and deaths are still unknown at this moment."
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." If other people were buried in the ruins, Sokov might still be worried about their life and death like Chuikov. But for these two people, he remembered them very clearly.
They all managed to survive until the day when the Battle of Stalingrad was victorious, and they comforted Chuikov: "Ji people have their own destiny, I believe they will be fine."
Now that he had finished watching Flying Thunder Cannon, Chuikov was eager to know about the situation of Gurov and Zholudev. After chatting with Sokov for a few more words, Chuikov left in a hurry.
Ivanov looked at Chuikov's leaving figure and said with relief: "Comrade Commander, I thought the commander would be furious, but I didn't expect him to pass the test so easily."
Sokov looked towards the factory area and saw smoke filled with gunfire and the sound of gunfire. He smiled bitterly and said to Ivanov: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, I think it may not be long before the commander will give the order."
We sent troops to reinforce the friendly forces fighting the enemy in the factory area."
"What, are you sending us for reinforcements again?" Hearing what Sokov said, Ivanov had a strange expression on his face: "As far as I know, there are several divisions of troops responsible for the defense of the factory area.
If they can't stop the enemy, even if all our divisions are mobilized, what effect will they have?"
"If a division is transferred up, who will guard Mamayev Heights?" Sokov said with a sneer: "If the battle continues like this, the commander will definitely order us to send a regiment to consolidate the defense somewhere.
, it seems that being too good at fighting is not a good thing, as your superiors will use you as a battlefield fire brigade."
When the two returned to the headquarters, Sidorin first came up to him and asked with concern: "Comrade division commander, the commander is not angry, is he?" Sidorin is the person who knows Chuikov best among the people. According to his idea, Sokov
After inventing such an effective weapon, but not promoting it throughout the entire army, it would be surprising if Chuikov didn't get furious.
"No." Ivanov replied on behalf of Sokov: "The commander is very reasonable. After listening to the division commander's explanation of the reasons, he not only did not blame the division commander, but praised the division commander's approach as correct."
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov felt that in order to effectively deal with the enemy, in addition to making a fuss about the defense of Mamayev Heights, he also had to take time to walk around the city and see Captain Andrei's third battalion.
How to engage in street fighting with the enemy: "I plan to go for a walk in the city tonight. All the work here will be left to you and the deputy division commander."
"What, Commander, are you going to the urban area?" Xi Duolin's face showed a surprised expression: "More than 70% of the urban area has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Isn't it too much for you to go at this time?
Taking risks?"
"Yes, today's urban areas are very dangerous. But our soldiers are still fighting tenaciously against the enemy. As their division commander, can I turn a blind eye to them?" Sokov said in an unquestionable tone.
: "I went to the city overnight for two purposes. One was to inspect the fighting methods of the Third Battalion to see if there was anything that needed improvement; the second was to boost the morale and morale of the troops so that the soldiers could continue to fight the enemy.
Keep fighting."
"Comrade Commander," Seeing that Sokov had made up his mind, Sidorin knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he could not change his decision, so he said smoothly: "The city is too dangerous. When you go there at night, bring more with you."
A warrior. Even if you encounter enemies on the road, you can still resist them for a while."
"I will take Samoilov's guard platoon with me." Sokov left the headquarters several times recently, accompanied by Samoilov's guard platoon. As soon as he heard Sidorin's reminder, he
Instinctively said: "I believe that with them here, my safety can be completely guaranteed."
After saying this, Sokov remembered what Chuikov said before leaving, and added: "By the way, Comrade Chief of Staff, there is another important thing. Originally, I wanted Comrade Commander to come and sit here with us.
Sit down, but he said that the headquarters of the 37th Guards Division was bombed by enemy planes, and the division commander Zholudev and the group army military commissar Comrade Gurov were buried in the collapsed headquarters. You will call the commander in a few hours.
Call the police officer and ask them if they have escaped safely."
"Ah, Comrade Gurov was buried under the rubble?" After Sidorin heard Sokov say this, the muscles on his face twitched violently for a few times, and then hesitantly said: "Comrade Commander, although I hope that Gurov
Both Rove and General Zolludev are safe, but according to my analysis, under the current circumstances, they are buried in the collapsed rubble, and it is almost impossible to rescue them safely."
"Nothing is impossible." Sokov was convinced that the two men could escape safely, so he said resolutely: "Since it is Comrade Commander who is personally involved in the matter, I believe that the possibility of their successful rescue is quite high. Staff
Comrade Chang, although the current situation is very unfavorable to us, you still have to believe in miracles."
"Second Lieutenant Maxim." After Sokov finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the communications company commander sitting next to the walkie-talkie: "Immediately send a telegram to the commander of the third battalion, Captain Andre, saying that I will arrive at him after dark.
Go there and let him be prepared to respond. At the same time, do a good job of identification at night to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Understood, Comrade Division Commander. I will send a message immediately." Maxim, who had just stood up, immediately sat down again after listening to Sokov's instructions and sent a message to the third battalion that was fighting in the city, telling Sokov
He informed them that his husband was about to leave in the evening.
As soon as it got dark, Sokov set off with the guard platoon of Guchakov and Samoilov. In order to prevent encountering enemy snipers on the road, Sokov deliberately changed into ordinary clothes before setting off.
The soldiers in uniform, surrounded by a group of people, cautiously advanced towards the third battalion command post.
