  Chapter 372 Enemy Lure Tactics

   Seeing the captives and the radio station brought back by Samoilov, Sokov was really happy. He patted Samoilov on the shoulder and said, "Good job, Second Lieutenant Samoilov."

When Samoilov was about to remind Sokov that he was a sergeant and not a second lieutenant, he only heard the other party continue: "You wiped out this special agent team, and its significance is no less than that of killing an enemy regiment on the battlefield. Fighting Without the eyes and ears that the enemy has placed around us, they will not be able to figure out our reality."

   Hearing what Sokov said, Samoilov understood in his heart that it was not a mistake that the other party called him a second lieutenant, but he was promoted to his military rank in recognition of his achievements.

   "Comrade Brigadier, I have a bold idea." Belkin interrupted suddenly: "Maybe we can use the seized radio station to set a trap for the Germans."

   "Using the radio to set traps for the Germans?" Sokov felt that Belkin's proposal was good, so he asked with great interest: "Comrade Commissar, how do you plan to get the enemy to take the bait?"

   "Didn't the Germans pretend to be officers of the Front Army Command and order us to withdraw from Mamayev Post?" Belkin said with a smile: "We can use this to make a fuss."

  Sokov understood Belkin's meaning, nodded, and said, "This can be tried, but the premise is that the captured German operator is willing to help us send this telegram to the Germans."

"Comrade Brigadier, give me the German radio operator." Samoilov, who had just been promoted to second lieutenant, was eager to perform well in front of Sukov, so he volunteered to say: "I promise Let him cooperate with us unconditionally."

"Comrade Second Lieutenant, take it easy." Sidolin interjected next to him: "The fake major died not long after being interrogated by you. Don't kill the radio operator too, otherwise Our plan cannot be carried out."

  Samoilov grinned dryly twice, and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, please rest assured, I will pay attention to the severity this time, and I will definitely not kill the prisoner."

"Okay, Comrade Second Lieutenant, take the prisoner down. Bring him back when he is willing to cooperate with us." After sending Samoilov away, Sokov said to Sidolin and Bel "Now let's dig into the details," King said.

"There is an oil storage tank full of fuel on the north hill. If there is a war there, once the oil tank is detonated, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, we can only choose the battlefield in the south hill." At the beginning of the meeting, Sokov spoke first, and will The combat area is locked at Nangang: "You can talk about what you think."

  As soon as his voice fell, Sidolin continued: "Comrade Brigadier, I think we can put the enemy into our tunnels and use their unfamiliarity with the terrain to wipe them out..."

"No, Comrade Chief of Staff, your plan won't work." Before Sidolin finished speaking, Sokov rejected his proposal: "Even if we take the initiative to let the enemy discover the entrance of the tunnel, they will not easily enter it. Instead, we will send a few soldiers into the tunnel for reconnaissance, and after we confirm that everything is safe, the large group of people will enter one after another. As long as the enemy's scouts find the troops hidden in the tunnel, our plan will fail."

   "Comrade Brigadier," Belkin knew that Sokov had many ideas, so he didn't express any opinions casually, but asked tentatively, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Withdraw all the troops into the tunnels and give up all the surface positions in Nangang to the Germans." Sukov said without hesitation: "After the enemy has occupied our position, our tunnel troops are using the night to attack and wipe out the occupied land. Enemy on the surface."

Regarding Sokov's proposal, Belkin was silent for a long time, and then said: "Brigade Commander, your plan is a bit risky. Have you ever considered that if the German army occupied our surface position, they would immediately head towards the pier?" Launch an attack, what should we do? You know, there is no defense in the direction of the pier, and it cannot stop the enemy's attack at all."

"Comrade Brigadier," said Sidolin, pointing to the east of the South Hill just as Sokov was in danger, "we can build a temporary defensive position in the east, so that even if the enemy rushes down from the hill, we will Stop them too."

Sidolin's proposal gave Sokov more confidence in his plan: "If the enemy launches an attack directly towards the pier after occupying the surface position, the troops in the tunnel can attack immediately and act as a blocking force on the east side. troops flanking them."

  After making the plan, Belkin reminded Sokov again: "Comrade Brigadier, this matter is of great importance. Do you think it should be reported to the Army Command?"

  In fact, even if Belkin didn't remind, Sokov was going to report to Chuikov. If he didn't say hello to Cuikov, he would just give up the superficial position to the Germans, and let Cuikov know, he would definitely come over with a pistol and take his own life.

  After the call was connected, Sokov heard Chuikov's voice coming from the receiver, and quickly said to him: "Comrade Commander, this is Sokov, and I have something important to report to you."

   "What's the matter?" Chuikov asked very quickly.

"Comrade Commander, we have caught several spies sent by the Germans." Sokov succinctly described the spies as officers of the Front Army Command, ordered his troops to withdraw from Mamayev, and sent troops to capture the spies. The incident was reported to Chuikov, and he finally said: "Because we acted quickly, the secret agents had not had time to send out the alarm signal, and their hiding place was taken away by us. Therefore, I plan to use the plan to lure the German army to the bait."

   "Inducing the Germans to take the bait?" Cuikov sneered when he heard this, and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Sukov, do you think the Germans will fall for you?"

"The radio operator in the secret service team was captured alive by us." In order to increase Chuikov's confidence, Sokov took the initiative to report to him: "I have handed him over to Second Lieutenant Samoilov. The second lieutenant is the one we were in On the southern line, I saw the sergeant at the warehouse of the Ministry of the Interior."

   "Oh, he's already a second lieutenant." Cuikov asked with some surprise, "The military rank has been promoted quite quickly. What achievements has he made?"

"We were able to capture the hidden German spies, thanks to Second Lieutenant Samoilov." Sokov explained: "It was he who set out the hiding places of other spies from the captives who could not speak. "

   "It seems that the internal guards are quite good at interrogating prisoners." Chuikov said: "As long as the captured radio operators are willing to cooperate with you, then I agree with your action plan."
