While the tank soldier was wielding a hammer to repair the damaged track, Sokov used the tank as cover to shoot at the German soldiers in the distance. Although he couldn't kill one with one shot, it was not a big problem to kill one with two or three shots. It didn't take long for at least a dozen German soldiers to fall under his gun.

In the interval between shooting, Sokov did not forget to ask the other party's name: "Tank soldier, what's your name?"

"Bushkin, Sergeant Bushkin."

At this time, two mortar groups and a heavy machine gun group also came near the tank and saw Sokov constantly shooting at the fierce fighting position. One of the artillery sergeants bent down to Sokov's side and asked him: "Comrade Captain, what should we do next?"

At this moment, the battlefield has become a mess, with people everywhere, fighting everywhere, and people falling every minute and every second. Although the Soviet army's sudden attack caught the German army off guard, due to the gap in the strength of the two, it was not an easy task for the Soviet army to win.

Sokov saw that besides a tank that temporarily served as a fixed firepower point, there were also two mortars and a heavy machine gun. Such firepower was definitely a bit exaggerated to directly change the situation, but it should be enough to increase the casualties of the enemy.

Thinking of this, he immediately arranged the placement of the mortars and heavy machine guns, and then began to issue orders: "Use mortars to drive those German infantrymen running around to the middle, and after they gather in the middle, the heavy machine guns will shoot them."

Sokov's order was soon implemented faithfully. Those German soldiers who were originally running around gradually flocked to the middle under the attack of mortar fire. After they gathered a certain number of people, the heavy machine guns opened fire, and the dense bullets made those German soldiers fall down in groups.

After the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, the ammunition of the mortars and heavy machine guns was exhausted. It was obviously impossible to continue to expand the results of the battle. At this moment, many German trucks appeared in the distance, with artillery towing behind them, heading towards the direction of the fierce battle.

Seeing those artillery towing behind the trucks, Sokov's pupils couldn't help but shrink violently. Those were anti-tank guns. Obviously, the Germans sent anti-tank guns to deal with Soviet tanks in order to turn the tide of the war.

Sokov asked an artilleryman: "How is it, do you still have shells?"

"No, comrade captain." The artilleryman shook his head and replied: "All our shells have been used up."

When Sokov heard the other party's reply, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. The mortar shells had been used up. How to deal with the upcoming anti-tank guns? Can he only watch the Soviet tanks being destroyed one by one by the German anti-tank guns?

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard someone shouting at him: "Comrade Captain, the tank's tracks have been repaired."

Sokov turned his head and saw that the person talking to him was Sergeant Bushin who had just repaired the tracks. He hurriedly asked: "Can the tank move?"

"It should be possible."

Sokov pointed his hand into the distance and said loudly: "Do you see those convoys? The Germans have brought a lot of anti-tank guns to deal with our tanks. Since your tanks can move, rush up and destroy them quickly."

Sergeant Bushin agreed, climbed up the tank with his hands and feet, and got into the turret.

After a while, Sokov saw the tracks began to move, proving that the tank soldier was right and the tank could indeed move.

Sergeant Bushkin half-sticked out of the turret and yelled at Sokov: "Comrade Captain, we are going to deal with the German anti-tank guns, wish us good luck."

Sockov was about to wish him good luck, but suddenly an idea came to his mind: he had nothing to do here anyway, so he might as well follow this Tucker and destroy the German anti-tank guns.

Thinking of this, he quickly climbed onto the tank from the front and said to the tank soldier: "I'll go with you."

After a puff of black smoke came out of the rear of the tank, it drove at full speed towards the convoy in the distance.

Sokov, standing on the tank, shouted to Sergeant Bushkin: "Destroy the trucks first, then destroy the anti-tank guns."

Soccer Sergeant Bushkin quickly lowered his head and looked inside the tank, repeating Sokov's words to the people inside.

The tank suddenly stopped. If Sokov hadn't grabbed the handle on the tank turret, he would have fallen down by the huge inertia.

The stopped tank slowly turned the turret and then fired a shot at the convoy in the distance.

The next moment, a moving truck was directly hit by a shell, and a shocking explosion occurred. The artillerymen in the car were blown to pieces, and the broken limbs flew into the sky in the flames, and the anti-tank gun towed behind the car also fell to the ground.

"Well done!" Sokov waved his fist excitedly, and then gave another order: "Keep going!"

When the tanks that Sokov and Sergeant Bushkin were riding rushed towards the German convoy, the 4th Tank Regiment sent by Katukov arrived.

The officers and soldiers sitting on the tanks saw that they had entered the battlefield, jumped off the tanks one after another, rushed to the nearby enemies with weapons, and eliminated the enemies who were still resisting together with their comrades.

The battle lasted for another hour. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the German army had to evacuate the battlefield in a hurry.

Katukov was also very happy to learn that the attacking German army was repelled.

The chief of staff said excitedly at the side: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I really didn't expect that we easily repelled the enemy's attack with just a mixed battalion and a tank regiment."

"Comrade Chief of Staff, our attack is not easy." Katukov said with emotion: "All our mobile forces have been put into the battle. Even if we want to expand the results, there is no way."

"Comrade Brigadier, I didn't expect that Captain Sokov's plan was really good." The chief of staff realized belatedly at this moment that if the troops had followed their plan and attacked the enemy in advance, they would have suffered heavy casualties. On the contrary, Sokov's plan was to take advantage of the enemy's mood to underestimate the enemy after occupying his own position, and launch an attack unexpectedly, catching them by surprise, disrupting their offensive steps, and laying the foundation for this victory. Good foundation.

"When will the results be calculated?"

"The enemy has just retreated. It will probably take several hours to tally the results." The chief of staff asked Katukov curiously: "Comrade Brigadier, do you plan to report the results to the army headquarters now?"

"That's not entirely the case." Katukov said: "I want to understand the situation of our troops to adjust the next defensive deployment."

Before Katukov and others could report the results, Potapov called first: "Colonel Katukov, I heard that your troops just repelled a fierce German attack and caused huge damage to them. I congratulate you on your losses. Congratulations on your brilliant results in the battle."

"Thank you, Comrade Commander." Katukov said respectfully: "Our results are still being tallied. I will report to you as soon as the statistics are available."

"By the way, where is my liaison officer, Captain Sokov?" Potapov said in a joking tone: "What's wrong with his liaison officer? You have achieved such a huge victory, but he didn't report to me in time. . As a result, I still learned about the battle through other means.”

When Potapov asked about Sokov, Katukov seemed a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, Captain Sokov has gone to the front line. We don't know much about his situation."

"What, he went to the front?" Potapov heard something wrong in Katukov's tone and couldn't help but frowned: "In the defensive zone where he is located, has there been any fighting with the enemy today?" ?”

Katukov heard that Potapov was worried about Sokov's safety, and quickly explained to him: "Comrade Commander, the situation is like this. The fact that we can achieve such results today has a lot to do with Captain Sokov." Relationship." After saying this, he quickly organized the vocabulary in his mind, and before Potapov asked again, he reported the whole story to Potapov in detail.

After listening to Katukov's report, Potapov said thoughtfully: "So, not only did a battle take place in the position where Captain Sokov stayed, he even participated in the battle. My Do you understand correctly?"

"Absolutely correct, Comrade Commander."

"Then do you know where he is now?"

"It's not clear yet."

Hearing Katukov's answer, Potapov couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He had tried so hard to poach Sokov from Vlasov's hands, but he lost sight of him not long after arriving at the frontier. , how to let him not feel lost.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

Katukov knows that Sokov can become Potapov's liaison officer, and he is obviously deeply trusted by the other party. Now that his whereabouts are unknown, it is strange that the other party is not worried. He coughed heavily, stabilized his emotions, and then said: "Comrade Commander, don't worry, I will immediately arrange manpower to find the whereabouts of Captain Sokov. Once there is any news, I will report it as soon as possible Reported to you.”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." After Potapov said that, he hung up the phone.

After Katukov hung up the phone, he immediately asked the communications staff to connect the phone to the mixed battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When he heard someone speaking, he immediately asked straight to the point: "I am Katukov, who are you?"

"Hello, Comrade Brigade Commander." The voice of the battalion commander, Captain Korowin, came from the receiver: "I am the battalion commander, Captain Korowin."

"Comrade Captain." Katukov asked nervously, "How are the casualties of your battalion?"

"Report to Comrade Brigade Commander." Korovin replied: "The two companies that participated in the battle suffered two-thirds casualties; the tank platoon you assigned to us lost one tank; the anti-tank artilleryman on the friendly position All the anti-tank guns of the company were destroyed by the Germans, and only a dozen wounded in the company survived. "

After Katukov waited for Korowin to finish his words, he couldn't wait to ask: "What about Sokov? Where is Captain Sokov I sent to you? How is he doing now?" When he said this, Katukov asked There was a tremor in Tukov's voice, and he was worried that Sokov had been sacrificed.

But Korowin's next words made him let go of the huge stone in his heart: "Comrade Brigade Commander, Captain Sokov has led people to tally the results of the battle."

"What, he went to tally the results of the battle?" Katukov couldn't help but feel relieved when he learned that Sokov had brought people to tally the results of the battle: "He is not injured, right?"

"No, he is fine." Korovin said excitedly: "Comrade Brigade Commander, you may not know that Captain Sokov commanded Sergeant Bushkin's T-34 tank during the battle, plus two With artillery fire and a heavy machine gun, they destroyed 9 German tanks, 5 trucks, 7 anti-tank guns, and a company of infantry.”

Katukov was stunned after hearing this. He knew that Sokov participated in the battle, but he did not expect to achieve such amazing results.

After a moment of silence, he asked: "Captain Korovin, is what you said true?"

"Comrade Brigadier, this is just an approximate number." Korowin said in an uncertain tone: "I think the real data may be more. After all, there was a melee everywhere at that time, and some tanks were destroyed by who. How many enemies were killed, who can say for sure.”

"Captain Korovin, I am giving you an order now."

"Comrade Brigade Commander, please give the order." Korowin said seriously: "I promise to complete the mission."

"You immediately personally take people to assist Captain Sokov, and you must complete the statistics in the shortest possible time." Katukov said: "After the statistical results come out, you must report to me as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Comrade Brigadier." Korovin assured Katukov: "I will definitely tally the results as soon as possible."

After Katukov ended the call, he said to the Chief of Staff: "Chief of Staff, I only knew that Captain Sokov was a capable commander, but what I didn't expect was that his performance in this battle was even more... It surprises me."

The chief of staff was busy with other things just now and did not hear the conversation between Katukov and Korovin. Hearing what Katukov said at this moment, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Comrade Brigade Commander, what kind of results did Captain Sokov achieve that surprised you so much?"

"Captain Korowin just reported to me." Katukov recounted the situation that Korowin just reported to him in detail to the chief of staff, and finally said: "I think even if I was on the battlefield at that time, I would probably You can’t achieve results like he did.”

"He is indeed an excellent commander." The chief of staff nodded and said with emotion: "If we can make him one of us, I think our brigade can achieve more brilliant results in the future."

"Chief of Staff, what you said makes sense." Katukov nodded and said, "I will find an opportunity to talk to the Corps Commander to see if he is willing to cut off his love and transfer Captain Sokov to our brigade. If true If he is transferred, I can give him the position of battalion commander."

"Comrade Brigade Commander, as far as I know, the Army Commander spent a lot of effort to recruit Captain Sokov from General Vlasov." The Chief of Staff reminded Katukov: "To the Army Commander, "Captain Sokov is his beloved general, so he would not give it to anyone else easily."

Katukov was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally said slowly: "Although we made such a request to the military commander, he may not agree. But if we don't mention it, there will be no chance at all. I think, Sometimes you should try your luck.”
