Chapter 2843

"Assistant military doctor," Sokov held Jenna's hand and said pleaded: "The wounded is one of my old subordinates. You must let him survive, please!"

Jenna stared at Sokov's eyes and said firmly, "Don't worry, comrade brigade commander, I will do my best to keep him alive."

After watching Jenna walk into the tent, Sokov turned to Zubu standing beside him and said, "Comrade Sergeant, you will take a few soldiers later to bring Nurse Vera back. The old man once told me that there were Germans nearby and that the villagers who treated Romanlov's injuries had been killed. You should be vigilant when you go, do you understand?"

After hearing this, Zubu nodded, looked at Churxin again, and then said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, can you let Comrade Churxin go with us? If there is a machine gun, even if we encounter an enemy, the chance of escape will be greatly improved."

"Yes." Sokov nodded in agreement with Zubu's request and said to Churxin: "Curxin, take your machine gun team and return to the village with Sergeant Zubu."

Sokov, Zub, Chursin and others left, then walked towards the brigade command.

The guard company commander Bobricov stood outside the tent and spoke to Lieutenant Zhu Kewen. Seeing Sokov coming, the two immediately stopped talking, stood at attention and raised their hand to salute Sokov.

"Comrade Brigade Commander," Bobricov asked tentatively, "I heard that you brought back a wounded man from our army from the nearby village?"

"Yes, I did bring back a wounded man." Sokov understood that Bobricov would not ask about this for no reason, so he asked back, "What are you asking about this?"

Bobricov's eyes unconsciously looked at Zhu Kewen: "I heard from Lieutenant Zhu Kewen that he saw you bringing a wounded person back with his own eyes and sending him directly to the field hospital. I was wondering, could it be a big man who came?"

"It's not a big shot." Sokov knew very well. Perhaps Zhu Kewen saw that he valued the wounded so much, so he wished that it was a big shot, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to the field hospital in person. He explained, "That's an old subordinate of mine. After being disbanded a few months ago, I thought he had sacrificed. Unexpectedly, he met him unexpectedly today, so he brought him back. By the way, Comrade Lieutenant," he said to Zhu Kewen, "The wounded is Roman Lov."

"What, is it Romanov?" Hearing Sokov say this, Zhu Kewen's chin almost hit the ground: "How could it be him? I thought he had died long ago."

"I thought he had sacrificed, but I didn't expect him to be alive. This is really God's blessing." Sokov raised his hand and patted Zhu Kewen's shoulder, continuing, "I remember that your relationship with Romanov seems to be pretty good. You can go and see him when you have time."

"Comrade Brigade Commander," Zhu Kewen asked cautiously, "I wonder how his injuries are?"

"He had bandages wrapped around his head, shoulders and legs," Sokov said. "But I'm not a doctor. I don't know what the situation is."

Sokov said a few briefly and walked into the tent.

"Comrade Brigade Commander, you are back!" Seeing Sokov come in, Karsokov asked anxiously: "How is it? Have you found the doctor?"

Hearing Karsokov's question, Sokov shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I took people to the hospital in the town, but there were no people inside, neither medical staff nor patients. I don't know if it was evacuated or went to somewhere else."

After Sokov finished speaking, he sighed softly and said, "Oh, it's a pity."

"By the way, has the headquarters responded to the call?" Sokov was worried that Karsokov didn't understand what he was asking, and he emphasized specifically: "It's about sending medical staff to us to enrich the field hospital?"

"Not yet." Karsokov shook his head and said with a little discouraged look: "I think the headquarters may not have the energy to consider our request yet. After all, today's war is extremely fierce, and they are thinking about how to smash the enemy's attack."

"How is the situation with our wings?"

"The Borodino Heights on the left wing have been occupied by the German army, and the Far East Red Flag Division in the defensive sub-district was forced to retreat." Karsokov's expression became extremely serious: "Our left wing has been exposed to the enemy, and it seems we must prepare early."

The original defense line of the infantry brigade is parallel to the defense line on the left and right wings, so the three battalions deployed on the front line position are all directly west. Now with the retreat of the left-wing friendly forces, the flanks of the first battalion are at risk of being attacked by the German army.

"It seems that it is necessary for us to strengthen the flanks of the first battalion to avoid them from being attacked by the Germans."

"Comrade Brigade Commander," Belkin asked for a long time, "How do you plan to strengthen the flanking defense of the first battalion?"

"It's very simple." Sokov said: "Immediately form the Fourth Battalion and deploy it on the left wing of the first battalion to prevent the attacks that the Germans might launch from the left wing." After saying this, he turned to Karsokov, "Chief of Staff, the Battalion Commander of the Fourth Battalion, do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Yes, comrade comrade brigade commander." Karsokov said confidently: "There is a commander from the 38th Infantry Division of the 19th Army. He once served as battalion commander. I think it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for him to serve as battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion."

"Is it really suitable?" Sokov asked back.

"Yes," Karsokov replied in a positive tone: "We have reviewed him, there is no problem."

Since Karsokov said that the other party had already undergone review, he simply asked, "What is his name and what military rank?"

"Vasia, the rank of major!"

"Very good." Sokov knew very well that any major in the 16th, 19th and 20th armies had older qualifications than him. There should be no problem with such a person as the battalion-level commander, so he said readily: "Then let Major Vasia serve as the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion."

"Do you need to call him over?" Karsokov asked.

"Of course," Sokov said with a smile: "Since he has been appointed as the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion, I have to meet him. Otherwise, if I meet the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion in the future, I may not recognize him." Karsokov walked to the door of the tent, called a soldier, and told him to go to the reserve team to call Major Vasia over.

"Chief of Staff," Sokov continued to ask, "What's going on with our right?"

"The focus of the attack of the right-wing enemy is mainly to seize Volokoramsk from the 316th Infantry Division, so the battle revolves around the city's scramble." Karsokov reported to Sokov: "The 1073rd Infantry Regiment bordering our defense zone has not yet fought any battle."

When Sokov heard Karsokov say this, he couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that there was a fool in the Germans who was commanding and only concentrated his troops to attack a little. Wouldn't he be worried that his wings would be attacked by the Soviet army?

But then I thought, the Germans must have their purpose in doing this. They must have understood the Soviet army's dull tactics and their cooperation was poor. When a certain unit was attacked, the friendly troops on both sides did not dare to act rashly before receiving orders from their superiors. Sometimes they even even watched the friendly troops around them being wiped out by the enemy. If the German commanders really mastered the tactics used by the Soviet army, then their current style of play would seem to be understandable.

If the Germans were attacking the positions of the 1073rd Regiment, Sokov would not mind letting his 1st and 2nd Battalions attack a round of artillery fire, allowing the Germans to experience some of the baptism of artillery fire. But now the battle revolves around Volokoramsk, with a distance of about ten kilometers. Even if you want to provide artillery support to the defenders, the Four Councils are a little out of reach, so they can only choose to remain silent and watch the changes in the battle situation.

"Comrade Brigade Commander!" Just as Sokov was pondering, he suddenly heard Belkin's voice.

Sokov turned his head and looked at Belkin, wanting to hear what the other party said.

"The Germans are attacking Volokoramsk. If the city is lost, then our right 1073rd Regiment has to retreat, and then we will be completely exposed to the enemy." Berkin asked carefully: "Look, do we need to bombard the enemy attacking Volokoramsk?"

"Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, it's more than ten kilometers from our artillery position to Volokoramsk. How much success do you think can be achieved by carrying out artillery bombardment from such a long distance?"

Belkin didn't say anything. He really didn't consider the issue of distance, but just wanted to do something for his friendly forces.

At this time, a report came from the door, and then a low-heeled commander walked into the tent.

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

When Karsokov saw the visitor, he turned to Sokov and said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, this is the major Vasia that I just mentioned to you." Then he said to Vasakov, "This is Major Vasakov, the brigade commander."

Although he learned that the brigade commander was a major and his rank was one level lower than that of the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff, Vasia did not show a surprised expression on his face. He stepped forward and raised his hand to salute Sokov: "Hello, Comrade Brigade Commander. Major Vasia is ordered to report to you. I will wait for your order, please instruct!"

"Hello, Major Vasakha!" Sokov stepped forward and held Vasakha's hand, shook it twice, and then said, "I called you here, there is something important to announce to you." Then he waved his head at Karsokov, "Chief of Staff, announce the order!"

Karsokov nodded, coughed, and then said to Vasia, "Major Vasia, we call you here today in the plan to make you the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion."

"But, Comrade Chief of Staff, as far as I know, the Fourth Battalion does not exist at all."

"Yes, the fourth battalion did not exist before, but from now on, there will be the fourth battalion." Karsokov said: "You go back and select personnel and form the fourth battalion. You will be appointed by the company commanders and platoon leaders of each company."

When Vaxia learned that he could appoint the company platoon leader of the Fourth Battalion, a smile appeared on his face, but he quickly asked again: "Comrade Chief of Staff, I wonder how many people there are in the Fourth Battalion?"

"There are at least five hundred people, and there is no cap on the top." Karsokov replied: "There are currently three battalions in the brigade, each of which is more than six hundred. Your fourth battalion can also refer to this standard. Anyway, there are almost two thousand people in the reserve team today."

After figuring out who the number of new troops and command powers belonged to, Vasia glanced at Sokov and asked, "What is the mission of our battalion?"

"Comrade Major, come and see." Karsokov called Vasia to the wooden table and pointed to the map and said to him: "Our friendly forces on the left, under the crazy attack of the German army, have been forced to retreat eastward, so that the flanks of the first battalion have been exposed to the enemy. In order to eliminate this threat, we urgently formed the fourth battalion, in order to deploy you to the left of the first battalion to cover the safety of their flanks."

"Comrade Chief of Staff, I already understand the mission of our battalion." Vasia looked at Karsokov and asked, "But I am worried about one problem now. Our battalion has no heavy weapons at all. If it encounters attacks from German armored forces, it may be difficult to block them."

There are two artillery battalions in the infantry brigade, and not many people know about it, so it is normal for Vasia to have such concerns.

"Major Vasia, don't worry." Karsokov comforted him and said, "If you encounter attacks from German armored forces, you can call the brigade headquarters in time for assistance. We will provide you with artillery fire support and eliminate the German tanks."

"Ah, we still have artillery?" Vasia asked in surprise: "What kind of artillery is a mortar?"

When Sokov and others heard Vasia's question, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Don't worry, Major Vasia." Karsokov said to Vasia with a smile: "It's not a mortar, but a heavy artillery. Do you know, it's a 122mm heavy artillery. No matter how strong the German tank armor is, as long as it is directly hit by a shell, it can immediately turn into a pile of scrap iron."

When Sokov heard Karsokov say this, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "The artillery fire is not a point of strike. It is not an easy task to hit a moving tank just a few kilometers away."

"Chief of Staff," Belkin interrupted, "Since Major Vasia mentioned mortars, it's better to equip their battalions with a few mortars. Although mortars cannot attack tanks, they are still very effective in dealing with the enemy's heavy firepower."

"No problem." Karsokov nodded and said to Vasia, "I will give you six mortars, you can use these mortars to form an artillery company."

"Are there any other questions?"

Vasia thought that he could not only obtain artillery fire support from the rear during the battle, but also obtained six mortars, so naturally there would be no other demands. He shook his head and said, "No, there is no other problem. Brigade commander, deputy brigade commander, chief of staff, don't worry, our battalion has full confidence in defending its position. If the Germans want to pass through our battalion's position, they can only step on our bodies unless all of us are killed."

"Major Vasia," Sokov immediately turned his face unhappy, saying, "I don't want your bodies, I just want the bodies of the Germans. What I want to see is the enemy's corpses everywhere in front of your positions, not all of you. Do you understand what I mean?"
