Chapter 835: shoot at me (middle)

  Chapter 835 Shoot at me (Part 2)

  When the German army rushed into the city, there were four divisions serving as defensive tasks in the barricade factory. However, as the battle progressed, Gurdiyev's 308th Division, Gorishny's 95th Division, and Smekhotvorov's 193rd Division were all seriously downsized, and were withdrawn to the east bank by Cuikov for replenishment. At that time, the total number of the three divisions when crossing the river was less than 600.

  The reason why Sokov didn't pay attention to the barricade factory before was because he thought that the troops in the factory were enough to resist the attack launched by the German army. But today he suddenly discovered that the predicament faced by the Barricade Factory was no worse than that of the Dzerzhinsky Factory. If he did not enter the barricade with the troops, he worried that the reinforcements would soon be wiped out.

Seeing that Chuikov rejected his request, Sokov was not discouraged, and continued to explain his reasons: "Comrade Commander, the situation in the barricade factory is very complicated. Before he became the head of the downsizing regiment, he had been my political commissar, and I was worried that his ability would be limited if he was asked to carry out such an important task..."

"Okay, Colonel Sokov, you don't need to say any more." Although Chuikov said that he was unwilling to let Sokov take risks in his heart, but considering the precarious situation of the barricade factory, if only Belkin led the team to reinforce, he would After he interrupted Sukov, he pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Okay, I agree that you will personally lead the team to reinforce the barricade factory. But you have to promise me that you must Come back alive!"

   "Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Seeing that Chuikov agreed to his request, Sokov's heart hanging in his throat returned to his stomach. He quickly assured Chuikov: "Not only will I come back alive, but I will also smash the enemy's offensive and consume as much of their vital strength as possible in the factory."

  After finishing the call with Chuikov, Sokov immediately ordered the communications soldier to help him connect to Belgin's command post. As soon as the call was made, he said bluntly to Belkin who answered the phone: "Comrade my political commissar, your task has come."

  Belkin, who hadn’t participated in any battles since he withdrew from the archives building, couldn’t help but brighten his eyes when he heard that there was a combat mission, and quickly asked, “Misha, what mission is it?”

"I just received a call from Comrade Commander, saying that the situation at the barricade factory is not good. Under the cover of tanks, the enemy launched a fierce attack on the defenders in the factory." Sokov said into the microphone: "The political commissar Comrade, you immediately gather your troops and rush to the barricade factory for reinforcements. I promise to Comrade Commander that your troops will appear on the barricade factory's position within two hours at most. How can it be done?"

"There is no problem in entering the barricade factory within two hours." Belgin waited for Sokov to finish speaking, and said thoughtfully: "I have a question: after we entered the barricade factory, we , Do you fight independently, or obey the command of the commander in the factory?"

"Only the 138th Division of Colonel Lyudnikov is left in the barricade factory. If you lead a team into the factory, I am afraid you will have to assign it to him to command." The reason why Sukov insisted on leading the team to the barricade factory was because he was afraid His own troops were assigned to Lyudnikov's command, so that when the counteroffensive began, he would have no usable troops in his hands. "In order to avoid this situation, I have proposed to Comrade Commander that I lead the team in person, and he has agreed."

"What, you're going to the barricade factory too?" In Belkin's headquarters, he could clearly hear the sound of guns from the direction of the barricade factory, and seeing the billowing smoke, he said worriedly: "Misha, it's too dangerous there, you'd better stay in command of the division headquarters, I'll just lead the team there."

   "Comrade Political Commissar, you don't have to persuade me." Since Sokov has made up his mind to go to the Barricade Factory, no matter who persuades him, he will not change his mind. He said stubbornly: "I don't worry about my troops, and go to a strange place to fight." Maybe thinking that Belkin said this, out of consideration for his own safety, he added later, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety on the battlefield."

Sokov had already talked about this point, and Belkin knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, the other party would not change his mind, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, Misha, since you have made a decision, then I I won't say much else. Finally, I want to ask, shall we start after you arrive? Or start first and meet at the barricade factory?"

"The situation on the battlefield is not good for our army. Even if you enter the battlefield one minute earlier, it may change the whole situation of the battle." Sokov said into the microphone: "After the troops are assembled, you immediately take them into the barricade factory, I'll rush over to join you."

   Seeing Sokov put down the microphone, Ivanov said with concern: "Comrade Commander, the barricade factory is very dangerous. You should bring more troops there."

"No need." Although Sokov wished to draw another regiment from here, for the sake of the overall situation, the strength of Mamayev Post could not be used casually, "I will take a guard to line up and let Samo Lieutenant Ilov will go with me."

Knowing that Sokov planned to take Samoilov, Sidolin hastily dialed a phone number to the guard battalion and told the battalion commander Tenev: "Comrade Major, the division commander is going to the barricade factory soon, you let Samoilov Lieutenant Husband and his platoon **** the division commander."

   "Understood, Comrade Chief of Staff." Tenev quickly replied, "I'll get Lieutenant Samoilov ready right away."

After arranging the accompanying troops, Sidolin looked at Sokov and said sincerely: "Comrade commander, the situation at the barricade factory is not optimistic. I'm afraid it's not easy. If you think it's too dangerous, you must withdraw in time."

"Chief of Staff, thank you for your concern." Sokov smiled and nodded at Sidolin and said, "Don't worry, I will come back alive no matter what. Faxi Temple was not defeated, and they were not removed from our homeland." I will definitely not die." He took a few steps toward the door with his assault rifle in hand, and suddenly remembered an important matter, so he stopped and told Sidolin, "By the way, Chief of Staff, There's one more thing I almost forgot. Don't let Asia know about my going to the barricade factory, I don't want her to worry about me. Understand?"

"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Sidolin nodded and said, "I will keep it a secret for you." However, Sukov's words reminded him, and he asked specifically, "We need to send some health workers to accompany you Do you want to act together?"

"That's not necessary." Sokov shook his head and replied: "There are several health workers in the drawdown regiment, and there are also military doctors and health workers in the barricade factory. Our wounded can receive timely treatment, so you don't have to worry about these things. .”
