Chapter 2827

"Only do a good job of surveillance?" Karsokov was shocked: "Do we choose to stand by and watch when we see the enemy attacking friendly positions?"

"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov turned his head and looked at his chief of staff and said seriously: "At present, we don't know what the enemy the third battalion search team encountered, what kind of equipment they have, so we made a rash decision. Is it too hasty to make a decision?"

Karsokov heard Sokov say this immediately.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Sokov continued, "We can only deploy in a targeted manner after we understand the enemy's background. Of course, if the German army really attacked friendly positions, I would definitely not choose to stand idly.

A smile appeared on Karsokov's face. Sokov's words showed that he was a commander who took into account the overall situation. Seeing that friendly troops were in trouble, they knew how to help him. He would definitely not be wrong with following such superiors.

"By the way," Sokov suddenly remembered something and asked casually: "Have we established a contact information between us and our friendly forces?"

"Since the superiors sent the telephone line and telephone, we have established contact with the 1073rd Regiment of the 316th Infantry Division." Karsokov pointed to the phone placed on the table and continued: "You can contact friendly forces at any time through this phone."

Sokov was still very satisfied with Karsokov's efficiency. Now their left wing is the Polo Suxin Division, who is standing in the Borodino Heights. They will be quickly repelled under the crazy German offensive.但就算他们能守住博罗季诺，也没有多大的意义，毕竟自己和他们分属不同的集团军，要想战场上相互配合，有很大的难度。 But the 316th Division of the right wing infantry was different. Not only did they belong to the 16th Army as they were, but this unit was always fighting with the superior German army. As long as they maintained a intensive contact with them, they would not be fighting alone.

索科夫盯着面前的电话机，心里盘算着是否应该给第1073团的团部打个电话，和对方认识一下，这对接下来的配合作战，是非常有帮助的。

见索科夫的目光一直盯着面前的电话机，卡尔索科夫试探地问：“旅长同志，您需要给友军打个电话吗？”

Sokov thought for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Don't worry, I think it's better to wait until the third battalion reports the reconnaissance results before deciding whether to contact friendly forces."

After saying this, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, muttering, "I don't know if the deputy brigade commander has arrived at the arsenal."

"The deputy brigade commander went there by car." Karsokov heard Sokov's low voice and quickly said, "I think I should have arrived at the arsenal at this moment."

Sokov didn't say anything, just nodded, thinking in his heart that although the soldiers who reported the news said that the arms of the arsenal were enough to arm the two divisions, who knows if this number is mixed with moisture? You should know that the members of the search team were temporarily drawn, and there were not many professional scouts at all. How could it be possible to figure out how many troops the stored arms can be armed in such a short period of time?

Just as Sokov was anxiously waiting for news from Belkin and the Third Battalion, Morozova came over with a telegram: "Comrade Brigade Commander, the telegram sent by the Army Command."

When Sokov learned that it was a telegram sent by the Army Command, he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He quickly reached out to take the telegram and quickly browsed the content above.

Karsokov also came over and asked curiously: "Comrade Brigade Commander, what did the headquarters' telegram say?"

“司令员同志说，由于上级提供的补给迟迟没有到位，所以在接下来的两天时间里，可能无法给我们补充武器弹药和各种物资。”索科夫轻描淡写地说：“让我们做好心理准备。”

"Ah, we will not be able to provide us with supplies in the next two days?" Karsokov asked in surprise: "How could this happen?"

"There are wars everywhere now, and there are many places that need ammunition. I guess the output of the military factories in the city is limited, so the superiors will make corresponding adjustments to the supply work on the front line." Sokov remembered that he had seen similar situations in Rokosovsky's memoirs. Due to the shortage of soldiers and weapons and ammunition, after Rokosovsky became the commander of the front army, his troops had not received supplies for soldiers and weapons and ammunition for half a year. He could only rely on his own strength to overcome the problems he faced. "The weapons, ammunition and materials allocated to the group army by superiors may be given priority to the 316th Infantry Division and the Cavalry Army. Newly formed troops like ours are not considered."

At this moment, Karsokov was full of expectations for the secret arsenal: "Comrade Brigade Commander, if there were weapons and equipment in that arsenal that could arm two divisions, we could avoid the situation of exhausting ammunition and food being exhausted because we could not get supplies."

"Although the amount of weapons, ammunition and materials stored in the arms warehouse is still an unknown number, it should be more than enough for our brigade to use." Sokov couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought that there might be a secret arms warehouse in the area searched by the Third Battalion. He picked up the phone on the table and answered the Third Battalion Department.

As soon as he heard Nazorov's voice, Sokov couldn't wait to ask: "Comrade Captain, I am Sokov. How about it, do you have any new reports on the scouts you sent?"

"Comrade Brigade Commander!" Nazorov replied respectfully, "The scouts we sent have not come back yet. But please rest assured that as long as the scouts come back, I will report to you as soon as they come back."

Sokov couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he learned that the scout had not returned yet.只能无奈地说：“好吧，等侦察兵一回来，就立即向我报告。”

Just as Sokov was about to put down the microphone, he heard Nazorov's surprise voice coming from inside: "Comrade Brigade Commander, don't hang up the phone first, it seems that the scouts are back. That's right, it's indeed the scouts are back!"

听到纳佐罗夫说侦察兵回来了，索科夫的情绪立即高涨起来：“快点问问他，那些德国人是怎么回事？”

However, before Nazorov asked the scouts, Sokov couldn't wait to say, "Comrade Captain, you give the phone to the scouts, I want to know the situation from him in person."

Nazorov handed the microphone to Yun without hesitation and spoke a little angry scout: "Comrade Brigade Commander wants to listen to your report."

The scout took the microphone and put it in his ear, and said in a panic: "Hello, comrade brigade commander."

"Hello, comrade scout." Sokov asked to the other party, "Hurry up and tell me, what have you reconnaissed?" "Comrade Brigade Commander," the scout calmed down, and then reported to Sokov: "After we arrived at that location, we found no trace of the Germans at all. After surveying the road, we have reason to believe that the Germans seen by the comrades in the search team should be the correspondents who were riding motorcycles to deliver messages."

Sokov, who was originally nervous, felt much more at ease when he heard the scouts say this. Since the search team only saw the German correspondents, the search work could be continued.他接着往下问：“那搜索队如今在做什么？”

"After discovering that it was an unlucky incident, the search team started the search again." The scout said respectfully: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I believe that it will not take long before they will report the search situation to you."

As soon as the phone was put down, it rang immediately.

Sokov thought it was Nazorov and had something to say to him, so he quickly grabbed the microphone and said, "I am Sokov!"

A strange voice came from the receiver: "Hello, I am the commander of the 1073 regiment. If you have something to do, I will look for your brigade commander."

"I am the brigade commander Major Sokov. Is there anything you have?"

After hearing Sokov's rank, the regiment commander was stunned and thought to himself that the other party was the brigade commander, so why did he have the rank of major?

But he soon felt relieved. Now during the war, due to the great casualties of commanders at all levels, some troops were in a situation of "low vocational and high-level responsibilities".如今正和自己通话的这位索科夫少校，应该就是这种情况。

After understanding this, he continued, "Comrade Major, my subordinates reported to me that there were people moving in the forest of my regiment's position. After checking, I realized that it was your subordinate. I would like to ask, what did you send someone to the defense zone of my regiment?"

Sokov thought that the two sides were helping each other for the next period of time, so he did not hide the other party, but replied truthfully: "Comrade Commander, you may not know that our brigade was newly formed, and the weapons and ammunition and materials that the superiors supplemented us were limited, so that a considerable number of commanders and fighters in the brigade had no weapons. In desperation, I could only send people to the nearby forest to search to see if there was a hidden arsenal and use the weapons and ammunition stored in it to equip the troops."

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

"So that's how it is." The commander asked carefully: "I wonder if there are any gains now?"

Although the search team of the first battalion discovered the arsenal hidden in the forest, this location was a bit far from the defense zone of the 1073rd Regiment, and Sokov did not intend to share the weapons and equipment here with them. Therefore, he could only pretend to be regretful and said, "Comrade Commander, when my man searched, he found that a German appeared, so he could only temporarily stop the search. Later, I sent a scout to conduct reconnaissance on this area and realized that the enemy the search team saw might be the German correspondent riding a motorcycle to deliver the letter. After confirming that there were no enemies nearby, our search work could continue. Remember to say hello to your subordinates and never misunderstand."

"Don't worry, there will be no misunderstanding." The regiment commander asked tentatively: "Comrade Major, if you really find a hidden arsenal in the forest, I wonder if you can share a portion of the stored weapons and ammunition in it to us?"

"No problem, of course no problem." Sokov thought that the search team of the Third Battalion had been discovered by the commanders and fighters of the 1073rd Regiment.如果真的在那个方向发现了隐藏的军火库，虽说不见得要“见面分一半”，但肯定要分一部分给友军，因此爽快地回答说：“只要我们真的发现了军火库，肯定会分一部分给你们的，您就放心吧。”

When Sokov put down the phone, Karsokov came over and asked in confusion: "Comrade Brigade Commander, have we found an arsenal? Why don't you tell the commander of a friendly army? Do you have any concerns?"

"I plan to transport all the weapons, ammunition and materials stored in the arsenal discovered by the first battalion to be used by the commanders and soldiers of our brigade." Seeing Karsokov's confused expression, Sokov explained to him: "The search area of ​​the third battalion is close to the defense area of ​​the 1073rd Regiment. If the arsenal can be found, it will definitely be divided into part of it to friendly forces."

"If you really find a hidden arsenal near the 1073rd Regiment defense zone." Karsokov asked cautiously: "How many do you plan to allocate to friendly forces?"

"I dare not say that there are too many. 30% of the inventory must be given." Sokov was worried about Karsokov's bad ideas, and he explained to him specifically: "The 1073rd Regiment is a friendly army that fights side by side with us. Only by giving them more advanced weapons can they last longer when facing the German attack. As long as they are not repelled by the enemy, we will not fight alone when facing the enemy's attack."

"You are right, comrade comrade commander." Unexpectedly, Karsokov agreed with Sokov's arrangement very much: "If a new arsenal is found near the friendly defense zone, it should indeed be divided into part of the friendly forces. In this way, when we are attacked by the German army, I think they will help us for the sake of the weapons they gave them."

Sokov smiled slightly and thought to himself that if the fight really started, he really didn't know who helped whom. You should know that the 316th Infantry Division, which was defending Volokoramsk, was a thorn in the eyes of the Germans, and they would definitely want to get rid of it quickly. If the 1073rd Regiment is attacked by the enemy in a crazy way, as long as the war here is not fierce, you can draw forces to support the opponent.

Two hours later, the dusty deputy brigade commander Belkin appeared in the tent.

As soon as Belkin entered the tent, he quickly walked to the table, picked up the kettle placed on the table, unscrewed the lid, and drank water.

When Belkin put down the kettle and wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth with his hands, Karsokov immediately asked impatiently: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, have the arms in the arsenal been transported back?"

Belkin grinned and replied, "There are so many weapons and ammunition stored in the arsenal, and only with our dozen trucks can we transport all of them back at once. I guess it will take at least five or six trips to transport all the weapons and ammunition back."

Although Sokov and others had long learned that there were weapons and ammunition in the arsenal that could equip two divisions, he always had doubts about this. Hearing Belkin say this at this moment, he quickly asked, "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, is there really two divisions of weapons and ammunition in that arsenal?"

"That's right." Belkin nodded vigorously and replied in a positive tone: "I can tell you with certainty that there are only a lot more and a lot more, and it is more than enough to arm the two divisions."

"How many artillery are there?" Sokov asked expectantly: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, I wonder how many artillery are there in that arsenal?"
