"Comrade Commander, you may not know that there is a special chlorine tank next to the water filter pool of the tap water plant to add chlorine to the water." Sokov considered that the commanders present might not understand why chlorine was added to the filter pool, so he popularized the science to everyone: "There are many reasons for adding chlorine to the water. First, it is to sterilize and disinfect. Secondly, adding chlorine can also oxidize iron and manganese and other substances in the water, so that it precipitates to the bottom and filters out in the filter, thereby reducing the iron and manganese content in the water and improving the taste and color of the tap water."

After listening to Sokov's explanation, Rokosovsky said to the microphone half-believingly: "Comrade Commander, please immediately send someone to check whether the chlorine tank next to the filter pool was destroyed by the shell after the shell."

Sokov quickly added next to it: "Comrade Commander, please tell them that chlorine is toxic and do not approach it at will. You can use a fire faucet to rinse the yellow-green smoke produced by chlorine to dilute the content of chlorine."

Rokosovsky repeated Sokov's words to the microphone, put down the microphone, turned around and said to Sokov: "Misha, I really didn't expect that you have a wide range of knowledge and you even understand this."

Sokov grinned, and then explained to the other party: "When I was still studying, I visited the water plant under the guidance of my teacher and listened to the workers' introduction to the situation. When I heard you were calling, I immediately remembered this and expressed my own opinion."

While waiting for the 126th Division to verify the situation, Rokosovsky mentioned the matter of the 315th Division again: "Misha, although I have agreed that you can use the 315th Division when necessary, according to my understanding, you can completely allow your troops to participate in the battle at that time, so why do you have to let friendly troops participate in the war?"

Sokov had already thought of the response. When he heard Rokosovsky ask this question again, he quickly replied: "Comrade Commander, there are two main reasons why I asked the 315th Division to participate in today's battle."

"Two reasons?" Rokosovsky asked with interest: "Which two reasons, let's talk about it."

"First, I used the combat materials in stock from the brigade headquarters to supplement the 315th Division. Some commanders in the brigade did not understand my approach. Letting the commanders and soldiers of the 315th Division participate in the war in order to let the commanders in the brigade understand that providing weapons and equipment for friendly forces is equivalent to helping ourselves in disguise." Sokov paused for a moment after saying the first reason, and continued: "Second, I considered that one day in the future, I might cooperate with the 315th Division and understand their combat style in advance, which will be helpful to our future cooperative combat."

After hearing Sokov's explanation, Rokosovsky smiled and nodded, and then asked again: "Misha, do you have any opinions on Colonel Polytic through this battle?"

"Comrade Commander, I have to say that Colonel Polytic is an excellent commander, and the entire army is under his control. With a commander and fighter, they screamed and rushed forward. But..."

Seeing Sokov's expression of silence, Rokosovsky said impatiently: "Misha, if you have anything, just say, don't be so slow. Even if you say it wrong, no one will blame you."

After being instructed by Rokosovsky, Sokov continued: "After this battle, I found that Colonel Polytic's combat thinking was a bit outdated and outdated. For example, today's battle, the enemy hidden in the forest, was destroyed after being bombarded by our army. If I send troops to attack, I only need to pay a small price to eliminate the enemy running around."

"Where is the 315th Infantry Division?" Malining interjected and asked, "How are their casualties?"

Sokov looked at Malining and replied with a serious expression: "There are many casualties. The entire division suffered more than 700 casualties in this battle, including more than 230 commanders and fighters."

When everyone heard Sokov's casualties, they couldn't help but breathe: "O my God, in a small battle, the number of casualties in the army was close to one-third."

"Misha, you're right." Rokosovsky thought for a while and began to express his opinion: "Col. Polytic was able to lead the troops to fight behind enemy lines for so long, which means he was a good commander. But the current war model is very different from that of more than 20 years ago. His combat thinking is still stuck in the period of civil war, which is obviously unable to adapt to the current war situation."

Lobachev, who has always had a low presence, also interrupted: "Comrade Commander, I think if possible, I can wait for the 315th Infantry Division to enter the rest phase, and let Colonel Polytic go to the temporary intermediate commander training class of Fulongzhi Military Academy to learn how to become an excellent commander who adapts to the new era."

"I agree with the proposal of the military committee member." Malining promptly echoed Lobachev's statement: "I think Colonel Polytic should be arranged to study for a while, which will help him grow into a better commander."

Rokosovsky nodded and said, "Since everyone thinks that Colonel Polytic should study at the Fulongzhi Military Academy, I will report his name to the Front Command to see when his superiors will arrange for him to study at the Fulongzhi Military Academy."

The investigation results of the 126th Infantry Division came out soon. The division commander reported to Rokosovsky on the phone: "Comrade Commander, you are right. It is true that a chlorine tank next to the filter pool was blown up by German shells. The chlorine gas inside leaked, which made people mistakenly think that the German army released poison gas."

"Are all handled properly?" Rokosovsky asked.

"Yes, as you said, use a fire faucet to flush the leaked chlorine tank to dilute the chlorine in the air."

After Rokosovsky finished the call and put down the microphone in his hand, Robachev smiled and said, "Comrade Commander, this is the second false alarm."

"Yes, this is the second time."

"Comrade Commander," Sokov couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Rokosovsky say this: "Has a similar situation happened before?"

"That's right." The answer to Sokov was Lobachev: "When we were ordered to stay in the Yarcevo area, the German planes threw a large number of thick paper bags in our defense zone. When we opened it, we found that there were all kinds of dead insects. At that time, we thought it was the enemy's biological weapons and were about to spread some viruses in the defense zone. The commander quickly ordered people to collect these thick paper bags placed on the position and send them to professional institutions in Moscow for inspection. Who knew after the inspection, they knew that it was just some very ordinary insects. The Germans did this just to put mental pressure on the defenders."

After chatting with Lobachev for a few seconds, Sokov suddenly remembered that Rokosovsky specially summoned himself to the headquarters. There must be something important, so he quickly got back to the topic: "Comrade Commander, you haven't told me yet, what important things are there for you to come to the headquarters."

After Sokov reminded him, Rokosovsky immediately remembered that the reason why Sokov appeared here was because he summoned him, and hurriedly said, "Misha, don't worry, you will know the answer soon." After that, he winked at Malining with a side face.

Seeing Rokosovsky wink at him, Malinin nodded, turned around and walked into a small room next to him.

After a while, Sokov saw Malining coming out with a small suitcase.

Malining came to the table, placed the small suitcase on the table, and after receiving Rokosovsky's permission, he raised his hand to open the suitcase.

Sokov looked into the open box, and the first thing that caught his eye was something similar to a chain mail. He asked with some confusion: "Comrade Commander, what is this?" He only felt that the thing looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

But Rokosovsky did not answer Sokov's question immediately, but asked back: "Misha, others don't know this, don't you?"

Sokov frowned and stared at the chain mail in the box with his eyes. He thought to himself that he had just felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Rokosovsky also said that he knew this thing, which means he had seen it. He racked his brains to start thinking, what exactly is this?

Seeing that Sokov was not talking for a long time, Malinin and Rokosovsky looked at each other, then reached out to pick up the box's chain mail, put it on his head, and then asked Sokov: "Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, can you remember it now?"

Seeing that the chain mail covered Malining's shoulders tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes, Sokov suddenly realized that this was not part of the bulletproof vest worn by the German agents who tried to assassinate Stalin? He quickly looked down at the box, and indeed saw another part of the chain mail, proving that his guess was correct.

"Misha, the person who sent the goods told us that this was a bulletproof vest developed by the Germans, which could withstand the shooting of pistols and submachine guns on their bodies." Rokosovsky said, "We called you here just to ask you whether this bulletproof vest can be mass-produced and used to be used to be equipped with troops?"

"Comrade Commander, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course." Rokosovsky didn't expect Sokov to ask this, and said with a smile: "I want to hear your opinions and then feedback them to the relevant departments."

"Comrade Commander, if I were asked to choose, I would definitely not want such flashy things." Sokov might be worried that Rokosovsky did not understand what he meant, so he explained to him: "I have seen several German agents wearing such so-called bulletproof vests, saying that they can block pistols and submachine gun bullets, but they will encounter rifles or machine gun bullets, which cannot be blocked at all. What's more, this bulletproof vest is too heavy, weighing at least ten or twenty pounds. When worn on the body, it will affect the movement speed. Doesn't that mean that the warrior wearing bulletproof vests will become a living target for the enemy?"

"Comrade Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Sokov is right." Malinin added from the side: "Look, I only wore a headband, and now I feel it's top-heavy. If I want to wear the other half of the bulletproof vest on my body, I'm afraid it's difficult to walk."

Rokosovsky frowned slightly: "In this way, after wearing this so-called bulletproof vest, it will not only be inconvenient to move, but also have a bulletproof effect that is not ideal?"
