After the operation, all the captured German agents were handed over to the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for how the Ministry of Internal Affairs would deal with these agents, people of Sokov and Gerchkov were not qualified to interfere.

Since German agents had been cleared, Sokov originally wanted to return to the front line immediately, but Romanchenko informed him that he would stay in Moscow for another two days.

Sokov used his stay in Moscow to find Victoria specifically and wanted to ask her if she had Baharov's whereabouts. After all, this person may be related to whether the two of them can return to the future. But the result is regrettable, and Victoria has no useful clues.

On the morning of the departure, Sokov called his troops to board the bus and was about to rush back to the forefront as soon as possible, but he met an unexpected person.

"Major Sokov," Army military commissioner Lobachev, appeared before Sokov, accompanied by a colonel: "If you don't object, I want to go back to the front with you, okay?"

"Of course, comrade of the military committee." Sokov asked in surprise: "Didn't you return to the Army Command after sending Lieutenant Regalin to Moscow? How could you appear here?"

"Yes, after I sent Regalin to Moscow that day, I did return to the front line." Lobachev explained to Sokov: "But I received an emergency order yesterday, so I rushed to Moscow overnight. Today I heard that you were going to bring people back to Moscow, so I came here to take a ride."

"Please get in the car, comrade of the military committee." Sokov said enthusiastically: "We are about to set off."

Unexpectedly, after Lobachev looked into the car, he asked a question that Sokov could not imagine: "Major Sokov, can you drive?"

"Of course." After Sokov came to this era, he had learned how to drive a vehicle from this era in order to drive alone at critical moments. At this moment, he heard the question asked by Lobachev, and nodded vigorously and said in a positive tone: "Of course I can drive!"

"You can drive, that's great." Lobachev said to Sokov. "I wonder if you can help you act as a driver for me?"

Sokov thought for a while, and there must be something important to ask him to help him drive. He needs to chat with him privately. If there is a driver next to him, it will definitely be inconvenient. Thinking about this, he nodded and said, "Comrade Military Commissioner, it is my honor to be able to drive for you. Please get in the car!"

After the convoy drove out of the city of Moscow, Lobachev, who was sitting in the passenger seat, retracted his gaze from the window and said with a serious expression: "Major Sokov, yesterday the enemy put a large number of leaflets on our position."

"What is it on the leaflet?" Sokov asked casually.

Lobachev was silent for a moment, then said: "The leaflet says that the agents who infiltrated Moscow have successfully assassinated Comrade Stalin."

Sokov smiled, but he didn't expect the Germans to be so stupid, so a substitute tricked them.

"Comrade Belia talked to me that the task force you joined set a trap for German agents in the Kremlin and caught them all." Lobachev said: "Then you should know that Stalin, who was assassinated, was just a substitute."

"Yes, I know." Sokov did not deny this: "When the German agents fired, I stayed with them and saw the substitute and the two internal affairs guards who were following him fell down."

"I didn't expect the Germans to use this to make a fuss, trying to shake the morale of our army."

Sokov turned his head and looked at Lobachev and asked, "What will the superiors plan to deal with this?"

"After research by the Supreme Command, we plan to ask Comrade Stalin to go to the front line in the near future, so that the enemy's rumors can be bankrupt."

"What, let Comrade Stalin go to the front line at this time?" Sokov was stunned when he heard Lobachev say this, thinking that the situation on the front line was not good for the Soviet army. It was very dangerous to let Stalin go to the front line at this moment. He wanted to refute, but the words came to his mouth. He suddenly thought of a possibility and asked slowly and asked: "Comrade Military Commissioner, if my guess is not wrong, then he should send a substitute to it, right?"

Lobachev didn't say anything, but just gave Sokov a thumbs up, indicating that his guess was correct.

"When will the superior arrange a stand-in appear on the front line?" Sokov asked.

"Tomorrow at noon," Lobachev said briefly: "Although only a stand-in, the security work must be carried out according to the standards. I heard that Lieutenant Regalin is going to return to the front line with you, and I plan to second him to participate in the security work."

"No problem." For Sokov, even if Regalin is capable, at best, at the level of a soldier king. He can play a limited role with him back to the front line. Only when he is engaged in security work in the headquarters can he play a great role. Therefore, he said readily: "Let him stay after he arrives at the Army Command later. It is not too late to let him return to the establishment after Comrade Stalin returns to Moscow."

Lobachev didn't expect Sokov to agree so readily, so he said gratefully: "Thank you so much."

After a while, Lobachev spoke again, "Major Sokov, your brigade is really full of talents. Not only are you, the brigade commander who can capture a German armored unit alone, but also one sharpshooter who killed 75 enemies alone. Two days ago, another amazing combat hero appeared?"

"Fighting hero?" Sokov was stunned when he heard Lobachev say this, and then asked back: "Comrade Military Commissioner, can you say more details, what's going on?"

"The enemy launched an attack on the defense zone of your brigade." Lobachev introduced to Sokov: "A high ground that the second company and third platoon of the Fourth Battalion was defended by a crazy attack by a German battalion. The battle lasted for most of the day, and the commanders and fighters on the position were basically sacrificed, but the battle on the position was still on. When the reinforcements arrived after dark, they found that there was only one soldier left on the position, and he used his own strength to block the enemy's attacks again and again..."

Lobachev's words shocked Sokov to the extreme. There was only one soldier left on the position, but he still blocked the attack of a German battalion. This soldier could basically be rated as a special combat hero. He asked quickly: "Comrade Military Commissioner, I don't know what the soldier's name, what rank, and how many years have he joined the army?"

"According to the information reported by your brigade, the soldier is named Spinachsky, who is 25 years old this year. He joined the army a month after the war broke out, but he is just an ordinary private."

"What, a private who has joined the army for less than half a year?" Sokov widened his eyes in surprise. He said in an incredible tone: "It's incredible that he can actually block the attack of a German battalion alone."

Lobachev laughed and said, "Didn't I just say that the Infantry Brigade has an excellent brigade commander like you and a sharpshooter with magical marksmanship. Now that there is another amazing combat hero, it seems that it is natural to have another great combat hero."

Sokov's mouth twitched, thinking that he hadn't figured out yet. Whether Regalin, who had a great marksmanship, was a time traveler like him or a system carrier, has emerged a combat hero who can fight against a battalion alone. This is incredible.

"Comrade Military Commissioner, where is the combat hero named Spinachsky?"

"In the field hospital of your brigade." Lobachev might have guessed what Sokov wanted to ask, so he said first: "He was injured in the battle. Although Commander Rokosovsky and I both advised him to go to the rear to recuperate, he refused. In desperation, he could only let him stay in the field hospital of your brigade."

"It turned out to be in the field hospital in the brigade," Sokov nodded after hearing this and said, "When I return to the brigade headquarters, I will go to the field hospital to visit him."

"The headquarters intends to promote his military rank while awarding him the medal." Lobachev asked Sokov in a controversial tone: "Major Sokov, what military rank do you think do you think is appropriate to award him?"

"Before Lieutenant Regalin was promoted, he was just an ordinary soldier." Sokov thought for a moment and said to Lobachev: "But he had been the rank of lieutenant many years ago, but he was dismissed for special reasons and became an ordinary soldier. I promoted him to the rank of lieutenant, but I just restored him to the rank of lieutenant."

After hearing Sokov said this, Lobachev was silent and might be carefully savoring what Sokov said.

When the convoy arrived at the headquarters of the Army Command, Lobachev pushed open the door and got out of the car, he spoke: "Major Sokov, as for the promotion to Spinach Ski, after you return to the infantry brigade, discuss with the other two deputy to see what their opinions are."

"Okay, comrade of the military committee." Sokov nodded and said, "I will report the results of the negotiation to the headquarters as soon as possible."

After Lobachev got off the car, Sokov also pushed open the car door and got out. He came to a car behind and rushed to Regalin who was sitting inside and said, "Lieutenant Regalin, you have stayed in the headquarters these few days and obeyed the orders of the military committee members. It is not too late to return to the building after completing the task here."

"Comrade Brigade Commander." Regalin pushed open the door and got out of the car, looked at Sokov and asked, "Do you know what is the task to stay in the headquarters?"

"The military committee will personally explain the specific tasks to you." Sokov extended his hand to the other party: "Lieutenant Regalin, I hope we can meet soon."

An hour later, Sokov returned to the infantry brigade.

Seeing Sokov walking in from outside the tent, Karsokov said excitedly: "Comrade Brigade Commander, you are back!"

"I'm back!" Sokov said this and quickly looked at the tent. He found that except Karsokov, there was only the radio operator Morozova, so he asked curiously: "Where has the deputy brigade commander gone?"

"He went to the field hospital." After Karsokov said this, probably guessing that Sokov would ask why, he took the initiative to say: "Comrade Brigade Commander, during the period when you were not in the brigade, an amazing combat hero has appeared. However, he was injured in the battle and was recovering from the field hospital at this moment. The deputy brigade commander visited him."

"On the way back, I heard from the military committee member of the group army that this combat hero, who fought against the German army in a battalion alone and stubbornly defended his position. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true," Karsokov said: "Our reinforcements arrived at the position after dark and found that he was the only living person left on the entire position."

Since Sokov heard Lobachev mention this, he always felt a strange feeling in his heart, thinking that such a record was a bit outrageous. So the first thing he did when he returned to the brigade headquarters was to figure out the battle. At this moment, he learned that the deputy brigade commander went to the field hospital and visited the injured soldier, and said to Karsokov: "Chief of Staff, call Major Vasha, the fourth battalion commander, and ask him to come to the brigade headquarters immediately. I have something to ask him in person."

More than ten minutes later, Major Vasia appeared in front of Sokov.

After Vasia saluted, Sokov stepped forward and held his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Major Vasia, I heard that a platoon under your command, with almost all the members of yours, still tenaciously blocking the enemy's attack and defending the position. It's amazing!"

But when Vasia heard Sokov say this, a bitter expression flashed across her face.

Sokov saw the other party's expression clearly and then asked back: "Why, Comrade Major, am I wrong?"

"Comrade Brigade Commander, the enemy dispatched a battalion of troops and launched a day-long attack on the high ground, but never occupied the high ground." Vasia said hesitantly: "When I brought the reinforcements to catch up, there was indeed only one soldier left on the position."

Sokov raised some inappropriate points from Vasia's words and asked tentatively: "Major Vasia, do you think there is something wrong with this battle?"

"Comrade Brigade Commander," Vasia hesitated for a moment when he heard Sokov's question, and then spoke: "My subordinates did block the German attack on the high ground, but I always had a feeling that the person who guarded the position was not Spinach Ski..."

"How could it be that it is not Spinach Ski?" Before Vasia finished speaking, Chief of Staff Karsokov said impatiently: "You have said that when you arrive with reinforcements, there is only Spinach Ski left on the position. If he hadn't blocked the enemy, who else could it be?"

After hearing what Karsokov said, Vasia stopped talking.

"Major Vasia," Sokov quickly raised his hand to stop Karsokov, who was about to say a few more words, and said to Vasia with a kind look: "I want to hear your suspicion. Why do you think that the person who holds the position is not this Spinach Sky?"

"The reason is very simple. He is a recruit." After a fierce ideological struggle, Vasia decisively expressed his suspicion: "After he was sent to a field hospital, I personally checked his backpack and found that there were 95 rounds left in the 120 rounds of bullets distributed, which means that he fired only 25 rounds in the battle. How could he block the German attack for most of the day with just such a small amount of ammunition?"
