Red Moscow.

Chapter 2837

Sokov's face showed a surprised look: "What, the friendly forces on both sides are fighting against the enemy, but we are calm here. Don't you think something is wrong?"

Karsokov, who was secretly grateful because the defense zone was not attacked by the German army, was stunned when he heard Sokov say this.

After a while, he spoke, "Comrade Brigade Commander, why do you think the Germans did this?"

"Based on what I know about the Germans," Sokov slapped the map with his palm, and then said: "They most likely want to repel the friendly forces on both wings, encircle us and cut off our contact with the outside world. Just siege us for a while, and wait until the ammunition and food are exhausted before launching an annihilation war on us."

After carefully pondering Sokov's words, Belkin and Karsokov felt that it made sense. Now there is no movement in the defense zone of the infantry brigade, while the battle between the left and right wings is in full swing. After the friendly forces are repelled, the position of the infantry brigade will become a protruding part, which is easy to fall into the siege of the German army. If such a situation occurs, it may not be an easy task even if you want to break through.

Belkin had tasted the feeling of being trapped behind enemy lines. He was worried about repeating the same mistake and asked nervously: "What should we do?"

Sokov sneered, "We cannot let the Germans attack whenever they want, and our army can only carry out passive defense. I plan to take the initiative to disrupt the German army's combat deployment and take the initiative on the battlefield into our hands."

Belkin and Karsokov naturally understood the truth that Sokov said, but they didn't know how to seize the initiative on the battlefield from the hands of the Germans. As soon as Sokov finished speaking, Karsokov couldn't wait to ask: "Comrade Brigade Commander, what are you going to do?"

"Our front is an infantry division of the German army." Sokov picked up the pencil on the table, drew a circle on the map, and continued: "The reason why they dared not attack us unscrupulously was largely because in their rear there were troops that our army had not yet broken through. They were worried that once they had all their strength to attack our brigade positions, the besieged commanders and soldiers would attack from their rear..."

"Comrade Brigade Commander, although there may be a large number of our troops behind the enemy." Karsokov said carefully after Sokov finished speaking: "But these troops have been trapped for too long, not only have the commanders and soldiers become exhausted, but they are afraid that the ammunition and food will be exhausted. Do you think that such troops still have the strength to fight head-on with the Germans? I don't know what you think. Anyway, I don't think they will have much combat effectiveness and cannot cooperate with us at all."

"Yes, comrade comrade brigade commander, I think what the Chief of Staff said makes sense." As soon as Karsokov finished his words, Belkin echoed: "I led my troops out of the enemy's encirclement. If I hadn't happened to meet you here to contain the troops, when we successfully returned to our military defense zone, we might have lost troops due to hunger, injuries, etc. At that time, let alone combat, it would be good to not let the troops collapse."

"Deputy Brigade Commander and Chief of Staff, I admit that what you said makes sense." But Sokov was not discouraged at all after hearing this. Instead, he said with a smile: "Through your appearance, I naturally know that those troops who have just broken through or are about to break through are trapped for a long time and cannot get supplies, and are facing the dilemma of exhausting ammunition and food. But the Germans don't know this. They only know that behind them, there are thousands of our troops, and they will definitely be worried that if they attack our brigade, the troops behind them will launch a sudden attack on them and disrupt their attack steps."

Hearing Sokov's remarks, Belkin and Karsokov couldn't help but look at each other, saying that the brigade commander's statement seemed to make some sense.

"What are you going to do?" asked Belkin.

Sokov's eyes turned outside the tent and said slowly, "It will be dark in a few hours. I plan to send an army into the German garrison and harass them so that they will not want to sleep tonight. In this way, their original combat plan will be disrupted by us."

"What, sending a force deep into the enemy's station?" Belkin was frightened by Sokov's bold thoughts: "It has always been Germans who have been attacking us. Now it's time for us to launch a night attack on the Germans. Is this appropriate?"

"There is nothing wrong with it." Sokov said carelessly: "The enemy has just arrived here and those who are not familiar with the place dare to launch sneak attacks on us. What's wrong with our commanders and fighters who are familiar with the terrain and environment want to sneak attacks on the enemy?"

Hearing Sokov say this, both Belkin and Karsokov are silent, and they begin to quickly think about whether Sokov's proposal is feasible.

Before the two of them could express their opinions, the phone on the table rang.

Karsokov picked up the phone and listened for a moment, then ordered, "Bring them here."

Seeing Karsokov put down the phone, Sokov asked quickly, "Chief of Staff, what happened?"

"The Third Battalion Commander Captain Nazorov reported that they had caught two suspicious people wearing our military uniforms." Karsokov looked at Sokov and said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, I remember you said that once you catch any suspicious people, you must conduct a careful investigation to avoid executing our own people as enemies."

"Yes, I did say this." Sokov remembered that after seeing two comrades from the Intelligence Agency being caught by the stubborn commander, he insisted on shooting him as a German spy. If it weren't for me to discover this, then the two of them would die at the hands of their own people, causing great adverse consequences. "After the outbreak of the war, although many enemies disguised themselves as commanders and soldiers of our army and tried to sneak into our army's defense zone, their approach was unpredictable. At the same time, we also sent a large number of intelligence personnel or scouts behind the enemy. If they were caught and shot them without saying a word, then the important intelligence they brought back might be lost, which would cause our army to suffer unnecessary losses."

"Report!" The sound of a report came from the door.

"Come in!" Karsokov shouted outside.

With the shouting, a lieutenant walked in from outside, saluted Sokov and others, and was about to report according to the regulations, Sokov raised his hand and interrupted the cliché he was going to say later, and asked directly: "Have you brought it?"

"Yes, comrade comrade brigade commander, the man has been brought here, and now he is outside the tent."

Sokov thought that the airdrop in the tent was not big, and if seven or eight people came in at once, it would be difficult for him to turn around. He walked out of the tent and checked out the suspicious elements caught by the commanders and fighters of the Third Battalion.

When he saw clearly the two suspicious elements under the supervision of several soldiers, Sokov thought he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes hard, then looked at the two people carefully, and found that he knew them indeed. He stepped forward two steps and asked carefully at one of the officers wearing blue hats, "Are you Lieutenant Zhu Kewen?"

The dejected officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs raised his head when he heard someone talking to him. After seeing Sokov standing in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise: "You, are you Sokov?" "Yes, I am Sokov." Sokov smiled and said to the officer: "Second Lieutenant Zhu Kewen, I really didn't expect that there would be a day to meet again."

Zhu Kewen nodded vigorously. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered something and asked Sokov tentatively: "Comrade Sokov, why are you here?"

The lieutenant who came here with the soldiers, followed Sokov from the tent and stood by Sokov. After hearing Zhu Kewen's question, he interrupted and said, "The Major is the brigade commander of our infantry brigade. This is his command center. If he doesn't stay here, where should he stay?"

"What, Brigade Commander?" Zhu Kewen was shocked when he heard the lieutenant say this. You know, when he was in the Yagojing area, Sokov was just a captain and adjutant, and he had no power at all. But after only a few months of seeing each other, he became the brigade commander, which is simply incredible. Zhu Kewen asked the lieutenant tentatively: "He is really your brigade commander?"

"Yes, I am the supreme commander of this army." After saying this, Sokov turned around and said to the lieutenant beside him, "Comrade Lieutenant, since you can send someone to the brigade headquarters, it means that your mission has been completed. Come back to the third battalion position as soon as possible."

Hearing Sokov's order, the lieutenant gave no discount. After raising his hand to salute Sokov, he turned around and left with his subordinates.

Sokov stepped forward and shook hands with Zhu Kewen, then turned to look at the other person, and found that this was also his acquaintance, Sergeant Zubu who was rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp by him. So he reached out to Sergeant Zubu again: "Sergeant Zubu, welcome your arrival!"

Zubu held Sokov's hand tightly and said emotionally: "Comrade Major, I really didn't expect to meet you here. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise we might have life worries."

Sokov knew very well that Zubu was telling the truth. If he hadn't come here in time, he would have been dragged out and shot.

"Comrade Lieutenant," Sokov looked at Zhu Kewen and asked politely, "How did you get here?"

"Major Sokov," Zhu Kowen said unhappy when he heard Sokov ask himself, "Of course it was captured by your subordinates."

"Second Lieutenant Zhu Kewen, I know you have suffered aggrieved. On behalf of my subordinates, I apologize to you." After Sokov apologized to Zhu Kewen on behalf of the Third Battalion, he continued to ask: "Tell me, why did you appear in the defense zone of the Third Battalion? Where did you come from?"

"We came from Rzev."

When Sokov heard the place name mentioned by Zhukowen, the corner of his mouth twitched, saying that Lezhev was Zhukov's sad place. From January 1942 to March 1943, the Soviet Western Front, Kalinin Front and the German Central Army Group repeatedly fought around the front line of Lezhev, Sechovka and Viazima. This series of offensive and defensive battles were called the Lezhev-Secchevka Battle.

The Molde troops were holding on to Lezhev, with only a few tens of thousands of people. However, there were more than one million Soviet troops under Zhukov's command. With such a huge gap in the military strength comparison, the Soviet army was finally beaten by the German army, and the troops suffered heavy losses.

"Redev, what are you doing there?" Sokov asked in confusion. You should know that Lezhev is more than 150 kilometers west of Moscow, and when he lost contact with Zhu Kewen and others, he was in the Yagojing area. The two places are five or six hundred kilometers apart. How could Zhu Kewen appear there really puzzled me.

"Major Sokov, this is the situation." Seeing that Sokov cared about him so much, Zhukowen briefly told Sokov in detail about his appearance in Rzev. It was probably the meaning that after Yagokin Daran, he was incorporated into a force when the defeated army retreated north and sent to the Rzev area.

"Since you should be staying in Rhjev, why did you suddenly appear here?"

"You also know that I know a little German, and there happened to be an army that needs an interpreter. After hearing this, my superior immediately arranged for me to go to that army to serve as a translator."

When Zhukowen started to tell the story, Sokov remained silent, trying to understand what was going on.

Zhu Kewen continued, "I took Sergeant Zubu and drove a jeep toward the direction of the command center. Halfway through a shop, we heard the sound of something smashing inside, so we hurried in to check it out. When we saw it, we found that several criminals were robbing the shop, so we stepped forward to stop it and sent two of the robbers to the nearby police station."

"Are you the only two?" Sokov looked at the two acquaintances in front of him and asked carefully: "Do you still know about other people?"

After Zhu Kewen and Zubu looked at each other, they slowly shook their heads: "I'm sorry, I don't know where the others are."

"That's a pity." Sokov asked Zhukov this to find out Romanov's whereabouts. You should know that Romanlov was the one who almost took the first place in later generations. If he died too early because of his own reasons, it would have very serious consequences. "Have you ever met Romanov after the troops were disbanded?"

"No." Zhu Kewen answered very simply: "After the troops were disbanded, I was surrounded by Sergeant Zubu, a familiar person."

"What happened to you after you sent the robber to the police station?"

"After we sent the robbers to prison, we continued to rush forward," Zhu Kewen continued, "But when we passed by a small town, we encountered more than a dozen German soldiers in the town and fought fiercely. Although we wiped out half of the German soldiers, we also had a soldier who died in the battle. The jeep we were riding was broken and we could only rush on foot. Who knew it and walked to the defense zone of the Third Battalion without knowing it, and then we were caught by your subordinates as suspicious ones."

Hearing Zhu Kewen say this, Belkin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Didn't you tell the person who arrested you at that time that you were the one who arrested you?"
