After more than three hours of rapid march, the Goriachijin regiment finally arrived at the designated location.
Seeing the arrival of Goriachin, Sokov and him hugged him enthusiastically and said loudly: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I thought you would have to wait until dawn as soon as possible."
"Comrade Commander," Goriachkin replied respectfully, "General Sameko said that the situation here is quite dangerous, so he did not bother to wait for darkness and ordered our regiment to come and support you as soon as possible."
Seeing that Goriackin was the only one who appeared in the command center, Koida couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Is it just you the only one group?"
"Of course not, comrade Colonel." Goriacchikin quickly replied, "When we set off, another regiment was still gathering the gathering forces, and they would arrive about a few hours later than we did."
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, you came in time." Bisokov expected the situation on the battlefield to be even more serious. He called Goriachin to the map and said to him: "After the enemy broke through the defense line of the 305th Division on the right wing, the 658th regiment we deployed here was also repelled by the enemy. Now the enemy is threatening our safety from the right wing. Since your regiment is coming, we will immediately launch a counterattack against them and strive to restore the lost positions in a short time."
"No problem." Goriachikin replied: "After our regiment withdrawing from the Shumakovo area, we have never had the opportunity to exchange fire with the enemy. The commanders and fighters are holding their breath. If you can only hand over such an important task to our regiment, they will definitely be very happy."
"The morale of the troops is very high, which is very good." In order to let Goriachin understand the importance of the right-wing position, Sokov specifically emphasized: "If the enemy is allowed to stand firm on our right wing, they can attack us from both directions at the same time, making us overwhelmed. Even if the enemies on the flank do not attack, they can leave a few forces to monitor us, and then the main force advances to the city of Prokholovka to the east through the gap between us and the Pushore River, and joins the Germans from other directions."
Sokov's story made Goriackin realize the importance of restoring the right-wing position, and quickly straightened his back and assured Sokov: "Comrade Commander, please rest assured that we will restore the position occupied by the enemy in the shortest time."
"You must have carried a lot of new rockets and bazooka?" Sokov said to Goriachkin. "If you want to regain our position from the enemy in the shortest time, you cannot be stingy with these weapons. Even if you shoot them all, it is completely worth it."
Sokov said this because he knew that the German army could not last for two days in this area. Only by hurting the enemy could the war be completely avoided from going into a stalemate in the later stage.
Goriachkin was skeptical of Sokov's order, but he did not dare to refute easily, but agreed. Before leaving the command center, he stopped and turned to Sokov and said, "Comrade Commander, Asia came with our delegation." Perhaps because he was worried that Sokov would blame himself, he specifically explained, "I tried hard to persuade her to stay, but she still insisted on coming. I had no choice but to agree."
"Ltd Colonel," Sokov didn't expect Asia to come to such a dangerous place at this time. He was silent for a while, put his hand on Goriackin's shoulder and said to him: "She is actually an assistant military doctor, so it is normal to go to the front line to help the wounded with surgery." He paused for a while and said slowly, "Since she is in your regiment now, please take care of her more, and it's better not to let her have any accidents."
"Comrade Commander," Goryakkin saw that Sokov did not blame him, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he asked tentatively: "Are you not going to meet her?"
"She and I have their own work to do," although Sokov wanted to meet Asia in his heart, but in the situation in front of him, it was obviously inappropriate to meet. He could only smile bitterly and say, "As long as we hold our position, there are many opportunities to meet."
As soon as Sokov finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Asia's assistant, Ada, the daughter of Rokosovsky, and asked quickly: "Ada didn't follow him, right?"
"No." Goriacchikin shook his head and replied, "I allowed Asia to come here with us on the condition of persuading Ada to stay."
"Ltd Colonel, you did it right." Sokov couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that Ada was staying in the Pushore River defense line. He gently pushed Goriackin's back with his hand and said, "Now, go back to your own troops."
After Goriackin left, Koida asked Sokov with some concern: "Comrade Commander, if the Goriackin regiment is asked to launch a counterattack against the German army, it will probably cost a lot. Once they have huge casualties, then the troops we use for defense will face shortages."
"Don't worry," Sokov comforted Koida, "the troops that came to reinforce this time, in addition to the Goriackin regiment, there is another full regiment, so you don't have to worry about insufficient troops."
Goriacchikin returned to his troops and immediately summoned three battalion commanders to meet and arranged a counterattack task to them. At the beginning of the operation, the new rockets flew overwhelmed the enemy's positions, blew up there into a sea of ​​fire, as if they were not spent money.
The reason why the German army, who were standing on the position was able to seize the position from the 658th Regiment was entirely because the Soviet army used up all new rockets, and even the anti-tank hands were sacrificed, so that they could not stop the German attack. Now the explosion of the new rockets covered the entire position, and immediately exploded the Germans to the point of howling.
Seeing the Soviet army launching an attack, several tanks with flames burning on their bodies rushed out of their hiding place, they were destroyed by anti-tank hands hidden nearby with rocket launchers. The German infantry on the position was already blew up by the new rockets, but now they saw the tanks they could rely on were almost wiped out by the Soviet army and lost their fighting spirit. Facing the Soviet commanders and fighters who rushed over, they only resisted symbolically for a while, then gave up their position and fled in a hurry to the back.
