Crown Prince Ivan Nikolayevich Andronov entered a noisy map room and at first glance saw the bandage on General Skorobo's hand, and he exclaimed in shock, "What happened? Did the enemy reach the headquarters?"
Skorobo waved his hand: "It's nothing, I just got too emotional and punched the table."
"Punched the table?" The volume of the Crown Prince's voice rose sharply, drawing the attention of the surrounding staff officers. Fortunately, at that moment, the headquarters was filled with roars of "Speak up," so it was not particularly noticeable.
The Crown Prince lowered his voice and asked, "So, Rocossov is right? The enemy really launched a pincer movement, didn't they?"
"He's right about that part," Skorobo paused, then raised his voice, "But he's completely wrong about what comes next! Our armored counterattack will crush the enemy's offensive! Look here!"
