"Comrade Commander, listen, he has admitted it." Guchakov pointed at the other party and said to Sokov angrily: "I hope you can uphold justice for me."
Hearing Guchakov's request, Sokov and Ivanov looked at each other with a serious expression. They saw the helplessness in each other's pupils. Although the tank lieutenant caused dozens of commanders and fighters to be captured because of his timidity, he was not his subordinate and he really had no right to deal with him.
Just when Sokov was in a dilemma, Anisimov coughed heavily and then said, "The two division commanders, although the timidity of this tank lieutenant, Guchakov and others were captured by the enemy is true. But the lieutenant is not a member of our division. I think it is better to send someone to send him back to the headquarters and hand it over to General Orel for handling."
Regarding Anisimov's proposal, Sokov thought it was the best way to deal with it at present, so he nodded and said to Anisimov: "Comrade Political Commissar, then you will send this lieutenant back to the headquarters. Selyosha." At this point, he turned around and shouted at Selyosha, "Call Samoilov and ask him to escort the political commissar and the lieutenant to the army headquarters."
Samoilov had always hoped to participate in the battle, but Sokov always brought him and the third row by his side, which made him feel very depressed. This time he went to Liumian Street to reinforce, and he took the third row to occupy two buildings and eliminated the enemy attacking the community from a high place. He was worried about being blamed by Sokov, so he deliberately hid far away on the way back. When Selyosha went to call him, he thought Sokov was preparing to raise an army to question him, so he could only go to the command center with his teeth.
Unexpectedly, when he walked into the command center, Sokov said nothing, and pointed at a tank soldier lieutenant with a wounded face and said to him: "Lieutenant Samoilov, I will give you an important task now, escort the political commissar and the tank soldier lieutenant to the Army Command. You must assure me that they must protect their personal safety."
Seeing that Sokov did not pursue him, Samoilov's heart, which was hanging in his throat, returned to his stomach. He quickly straightened his back and replied: "Comrade Commander, please rest assured, I will definitely send the political commissar and this lieutenant to the headquarters safely."
After seeing off the political commissar and the tank lieutenant, Sokov suddenly remembered that he didn't know what the man was named, so he turned his head and looked at Ivanov and asked, "By the way, Deputy Division Commander, what's the name of that lieutenant?"
But before Ivanov could say it, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested in the name of this coward, it's better not to say it." Then he said to Guchakov, "Lieutenant Guchakov, I went to the Third Battalion a few days ago to inspect. Captain Andre told me that he lacked a capable assistant. I will officially notify you now that from now on, you will restore your original position and military rank and continue to return to the Third Battalion to command the troops."
When Guchakov beat the tank lieutenant, he was ready to be sent to the military court by Sokov. Unexpectedly, Sokov not only did not blame himself, but also restored himself to his post. He was stunned.
Seeing Guchakov standing in place in a daze, Ivanov frowned and asked the other party dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Lieutenant, why don't you speak? Don't you know what you should say after you get a position and military rank promotion?"
Ivanov's words woke Guchakov from his loss of consciousness. He hurriedly faced Sokov, straightened his body and said loudly: "Serve the Soviet motherland!"
Hearing Guchakov say this, Ivanov's face showed a kind smile: "Comrade Lieutenant, I hope you can make another contribution after you return to the army."
Regarding the resumption of Guchakov's post and returning to the city to participate in the battle, Sokov felt that he should be with Captain Andre, the commander of the Third Battalion, so he asked the communications soldiers to connect to the command post of the Third Battalion. As soon as he heard Andre's voice, he asked loudly: "Comrade Captain, I am Sokov."
Andrey on the other end of the phone heard Sokov's voice and asked respectfully: "Comrade Commander, do you have any instructions?"
"Comrade Captain, I will inform you about something. From now on, Lieutenant Guchakov will be restored to his post and return to your battalion to continue commanding the troops." Sokov did not give the other party a chance to speak, and said with a very fast speech: "In the next days, you may face many difficulties, so I have specially formulated a tactic to deal with this situation. For specific situations, I will let Guchakov tell you when he returns."
Andrei had always had unconditional trust in Sokov. When he heard him say this, he immediately expressed his opinion: "That's great. With your new tactics, I believe we will be more confident in gaining a foothold in the city."
After putting down the phone, Sokov called Guchakov to the table and said to him: "Comrade Lieutenant, I believe you still remember the tactics I proposed on Liumian Street to cleverly combine the sewer and our fortifications?"
After seeing Guchakov nodding in affirmation, Sokov continued: "In the old city where the Third Battalion is currently defending, the sewer pipes are even crisscrossed. If Andre uses tactics properly, then you can use very few troops to restrain the enemy's main force..."
When Guchakov was on Liumeng Street, he heard Sokov explain to Selyosha and Agranov how to use sewers to cooperate with the defense and attack of the defenders in the building. He was about to return to the old city and continue to command his subordinates to fight with the Germans, so he listened very carefully to the tactics that Sokov even raised questions about some details, and Sokov patiently answered them one by one.
In order to get Andrei to pay enough attention to this matter, Sokov repeatedly reminded Guchakov: "Lieutenant Guchakov, please tell Captain Andrei that the situation will become very difficult in the next days, but the division may not be able to provide you with personnel, and everything can only depend on you. If you want to defend the defense zone with your existing forces, you must cleverly combine the fortifications and sewers and attack the enemy hard. In this way, the role of one battalion may exceed one regiment or even one division. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Guchakov quickly replied loudly: "I understand, comrade, I will pass on your words to Captain Andre in full."
