Red Moscow

Sokov agreed with Asiya's statement, but he knew better in his heart that if he wanted to go further in the future, he would not be able to lack a commander like Ponejelin by his side. He waved his hand at Assia and said, "Assia, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but if I want to stay in the army, I must have a group of commanders who are both capable and experienced. And Bonegelin and the others happen to agree with this standard. As for the future..."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a long time, and then continued: "We will talk about the future. Maybe the achievements of these commanders can change everyone's opinion of them."

Seeing Sokov so stubborn, Assia knew that no matter what she said, he would not be able to change his mind. He could only sigh softly and said, "Well, since you have made a decision, you can do it according to your own ideas."

Sokov was about to say a few good words to comfort Asiya, but when he saw the dean entering the ward with several military doctors and nurses, he turned his attention to the dean: "Comrade dean, do you have any questions?" What's the matter?"

"Comrade General," the dean said with a smile on his face, "according to your case report, the plaster cast on your leg can be removed."

"Thank goodness!" Sokov said with relief when he heard the news, "After the plaster cast was removed, I can walk on the ground."

"Comrade General, removing the plaster does not mean that you will be able to walk immediately." The dean said: "We need to see your performance later to know whether you can walk on the ground."

After getting permission from the superintendent, the military doctors and nurses worked together to remove the plaster cast on Sokov's leg.

A few minutes later, after removing the plaster cast, Sokov felt his right leg feel a lot easier. He sat up, put his legs on the ground, and was about to stand up while leaning on the railing at the head of the bed.

Seeing his move, the dean reminded him: "Comrade General, when your feet hit the ground, you must move slowly and lightly, so as not to..."

Before the dean finished speaking, Sokov had already stood up while leaning on the railing at the head of the bed. After taking a deep breath, he slowly raised his right foot and took a small step forward. As he was doing this, Assia stood behind him with open arms, ready to support him in time if he fell down.

When Sokov's right foot landed, the sharp pain from his leg was immediately transmitted to the brain nerves. Because of the pain, his body swayed, and Assia quickly hugged him, and said anxiously: "Misha, why don't you rest for two days and try again?"

Although the pain from the leg injury was very strong, Sokov felt that he could accept it, so he waved his hand at Assia and said, "Assia, don't help me, I can do it."

Hearing what he said, Assia quickly let go of her arms and let Sokov try to walk independently.

Sokov took another step forward. When the toes landed, he still felt the pain. He slowed down the speed of letting the soles of the feet touch the ground. Only after the entire soles of the feet were in contact with the ground did he carefully put his body weight on the leg .

"Misha, how do you feel?" Assia asked with concern.

"It's okay!" Although Sokov was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he still said calmly: "I think the pain is within an acceptable range, and I plan to try to walk a few more steps."

Seeing that Assia was about to speak to stop Sokov, the dean standing aside hurriedly said, "Assia, let Comrade General try again. Judging from the two steps he just took, the wound on his leg The bones should grow well, as long as you exercise more, you will be able to walk like a normal person soon."

"Okay then." Since professionals like the dean are endorsing Sokov, Asiya can't say anything else, so she can only tell Sokov: "Misha, don't be brave. As long as you find something wrong , stop immediately."

Sokov nodded, and continued to walk alone in the ward. Although this was just a simple movement before he was injured, it took him about a quarter of an hour, and he only moved forward a dozen steps.

"Comrade General." The dean raised his hand to look at his watch, and then said to Sokov: "That's the end of today's exercise, let's continue contacting tomorrow."

With the help of two nurses, Sokov returned to his bed and sat down. He looked up at the dean and asked, "Comrade dean, can I go to class with a cane tomorrow?"

“It’s okay to try crutches,” said the dean with a broad smile, “but you’ll still have to be in a wheelchair for your classes until you can move around the room quickly without crutches.”

The next day, when Sokov appeared in the classroom in a wheelchair, Sukharev was the first to notice the strangeness. He asked in surprise, "Captain Sokov, when did the plaster cast on your leg be removed?"

"Yesterday." Sokov replied, "Didn't I not come to class yesterday, so I removed the plaster by the way."

"How long will I have to wait before I can come to class without a wheelchair?"

"Not sure." Sokov shook his head and said, "The dean said that when I can walk quickly in the ward, I can come to class without a wheelchair."

"Lieutenant Sokov," Major Milesyev walked into the classroom and saw that the plaster cast on Sokov's leg was removed. He walked over quickly and asked with concern, "Has your plaster cast been removed?"

"Yes, the plaster has been removed."

"Have you ever tried to stand up and walk around?" Milesyevsi asked this question, and without waiting for Sokov to speak, he said directly: "I used to have a subordinate who also injured his leg. After the cast was removed, The military doctor asked him to lie on the hospital bed for another week, so as not to affect the newly healed bones. But he ignored the military doctor at all. As soon as the military doctor left, he quietly got out of bed and practiced walking. Within three days, he was able to limp He went from his own ward to the restaurant of the hospital to eat, which shocked the military doctors."

"Comrade Major," Sukharev asked after hearing what Milesyev said, "Do you mean to let Captain Sokov walk around more, so that his leg injury can heal as soon as possible?"

"That's right, that's what I mean." Milesyev stared at Sokov and said, "Captain Sokov, I strongly suggest that you practice walking more often, it will be very helpful for your leg injury to heal." Helpful."

"Thank you, Comrade Major." Sokov nodded, and replied, "I will strengthen my exercise, and try to come to class here as soon as possible without using a wheelchair."

The students who entered the classroom one after another basically saw that the plaster cast on Sokov's leg was removed. The students who had a good relationship with him, after going up to say hello, had to chat a few words about the removal of the plaster cast on his leg. And those students with ordinary relationships just asked casually, and walked back to their seats without waiting for Sokov to answer.

The class bell rang, and the students who had surrounded Sokov all returned to their seats and sat down, waiting patiently for the teacher to arrive.

The teacher who came to the class today is a new face. He put the textbooks in his hand on the desk, and after scanning the many students in the room, he said: "Comrades students, what we are going to learn today, It is about urban street fighting. As we all know, since our army has launched a full-scale offensive against the Germans, street fighting with the enemy in cities has become a trend.

All the commanders here must have experience in street fighting, right? I wonder if you are interested in sharing your combat experience with your classmates? "

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, several students immediately raised their hands and strongly demanded to speak.

Sokov, who came from later generations, already had a wealth of theoretical knowledge of street fighting. In addition, he personally participated in the defense of Stalingrad and accumulated a lot of valuable experience in street fighting. Encountering such a thing, it stands to reason that he had already raised his hand first to fight for this opportunity to speak. But he did not do this, but was going to listen to the speeches of other students and learn useful knowledge from them.

Victor and Sukharev, who were sitting in front of and behind him, wanted to raise their hands at first, but seeing Sokov sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, they also gave up their plans to speak and sat quietly. In your own position, prepare to listen to the opinions of other students.

The student who spoke first obviously participated in street fighting similar to the Battle of Stalingrad. The theory he put forward was exactly the same as the tactics proposed by Chuikov at that time: "The so-called street fighting in the city is the attack on fortified houses and buildings. As well as other facilities that have become the enemy's support point and the hub of the resistance area to carry out strong attacks.

The assault team is divided into two parts: the commando team and the consolidation team.

Assault teams of 10 to 20 people are usually the first to break into buildings and launch sites and fight independently inside. Their equipment is submachine guns, grenades, daggers, shovels. For the convenience of command, the commander of the commando should be equipped with signal flares and flares, and can also be equipped with walkie-talkies if necessary.

The reinforcement team is usually divided into several small teams. When the commander gives the signal to attack, they follow closely behind the commando and break into the house from all directions at the same time. After breaking into the building to seize the enemy's firepower point, immediately build fortifications, organize firepower against the enemy, and smash any attempt by the enemy to reinforce the garrison.

Consolidation teams are meant to consolidate occupied areas and as such should be equipped with heavy weapons including light machine guns, heavy machine guns, anti-tank guns, mortars, anti-tank guns, steel rods, pickaxes, and explosives.

Consolidation must include engineers, snipers, and other specialists who can effectively coordinate in combat. "

Hearing this, Victor approached Sokov and whispered, "Lieutenant Sokov, isn't he talking about the tactics created by General Chuikov during the Stalingrad Defense War?"

"You're right, Victor." Sokov tilted his head and said to Victor in a low voice: "This tactic is still very effective for quickly capturing the enemy's occupied area. But the only drawback is, It’s just that the casualties of the assault troops were too high.”

"Quiet! Please be quiet!" The teacher saw Sokov and Victor who were whispering, tapped twice on the desk with a scrub brush, stared at the two and said displeasedly: "If you feel that your I have more experience in street fighting, so I can come to the podium to express my views, instead of whispering in the bottom."

Sokov, who was criticized by the teacher, quickly sat up straight and smiled apologetically at the teacher standing on the podium.

But the teacher obviously misunderstood what Sokov wanted to express, thinking that the other party was provoking him, and couldn't help frowning. After the student who spoke finished speaking, he pointed at Sokov with his hand and said with a straight face: "The student in the wheelchair, I think you seem to have different views on this student's speech. Then I invite you to come up now and tell everyone about street fighting as you understand it."

The students in the classroom were immediately interested when they heard that the teacher asked Sokov to express their opinions. They all took out pens and papers and prepared to record what Sokov said.

Seeing this, the teacher had a surprised expression on his face. Because when the first student introduced the street fighting experience above, the students below were somewhat absent-minded, but as soon as I called the wheelchair student to the stage, the other students took out pens and papers as if they were treating an experienced teacher Ready to take notes.

Sokov's wheelchair was pushed to the front of the podium by Sukharev, and turned in one direction to face other students.

"Student comrades," Sokov said bluntly: "Just now the instructor has said that our army has launched an all-out attack on the Germans, so I will not talk about the city's defensive operations. Today I will mainly talk to you. How to engage in street fighting with the enemy in offensive operations.

In order to let everyone have a perceptual understanding of urban offensive operations, I will use Berlin as an example to talk about how to carry out street warfare in an offensive state against the enemy in this city..."

"Wait a minute, Comrade Captain." Unexpectedly, the teacher interrupted Sukov unexpectedly: "Now the Germans still occupy Ukraine and Belarus, but you are talking about attacking Berlin here, it is too unrealistic Bar?"

"Comrade teacher." Sokov looked up at the teacher wearing the rank of captain in front of him, and said blankly: "You are right, the Germans still occupy large areas of Belarus and Ukraine, but I believe Under the powerful offensive of our army, it will not be long before they will be driven from our land. After recovering all the lost land, we will continue to attack, until we have entered the old home of the Germans-Berlin, thus End this damn war."

Sokov's words aroused the instructor's interest. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, and asked with great interest: "Comrade Captain, please tell me how long do you think it will take us to break into the Berlin?"

"From now on, in another sixteen months, this protracted war will end." Sokov thought silently in his heart, but he said: "Comrade teacher, according to my analysis of the situation, if If our army's offensive can continue, it will only take two years at most before our army can invade Berlin."

"According to your analysis of the situation?!" Hearing what Sokov said, the instructor couldn't help but sneer: "Comrade Captain, who do you think you are? Zhukov or Vasilevsky? How can you actually use the analysis of the situation? It's hubris to draw absurd conclusions about when the war will end."

Regarding the teacher's accusation, Sokov just smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart. Victor and Sukharev, who knew Sokov's true identity, were a little angry when they saw that the teacher was so rude to Sokov. When they were about to get up to seek justice for Sokov, they saw Sokov Cove winked at himself, signaling them not to act rashly.

The two had no choice but to give up their plans, and stared at the teacher who was really ignorant with contempt, wondering how he would react when he was slapped in the face by Sokov.
