Chapter 2878 The disappearing him

"Misha," said Rokosovsky's phone number, and if there was anything to do with Sokov, he asked on the phone: "How are the situations of those German prisoners of war?"

Sokov raised his hand and looked at his watch, and found that Alina had been leaving for almost two hours. If nothing unexpected happened, the German prisoners of war who were deliberately let go had entered the German-occupied area with Kucenko: "Comrade Commander, Lieutenant Alina had been leaving for nearly two hours. If there was no accident, those people had entered the German-occupied area."

"That's good. I hope they can enter the German-occupied area smoothly. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us." Rokosovsky asked with concern on the phone: "Misha, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me."

"Comrade Commander, after this period of battle, our brigade consumes a lot of ammunition. I wonder if the superiors can replenish us?" Sokov knew that Rokosovsky was very busy and was worried that he would hang up the phone at any time. He said quickly: "If there is difficulty in replenishing supplies, please find a way to replenish us a batch of shells, preferably 122mm heavy artillery."

After hearing Sokov's words, Rokosovsky replied with a wry smile: "Misha, if I could really get heavy artillery shells, do you think I wouldn't replenish you? Alas, there is really no way. The superiors gave us little supplies, and the speed was very slow. I can't replenish you for the time being, I hope you can forgive me."

Although he had long guessed what kind of answer Rokosovsky would give him, Sokov couldn't help feeling disappointed when he actually refused his request. He chatted with the other party for a few more words, and when he was about to put down the phone, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Comrade Commander, I wonder when you plan to let Lieutenant Regalin return to Jian?"

Unexpectedly, the other end of the phone suddenly became quiet. After a while, Rokosovsky asked in surprise: "Lieutenant Regalin, who is he?"

"I am a soldier under my command. Because he achieved good results, he was promoted to lieutenant. Not long ago, he was transferred to Moscow and participated in a special operation." Although Sokov was full of doubts, he had reported the results of the over-response to Rokosovsky. Why did he forget? But he still introduced it like this: "Two days ago, on the way back to the front line from Moscow with him, the military committee member said that the Supreme Commander himself was coming to inspect, so he left Lieutenant Regalin at the headquarters to participate in security work. The military committee member should be very clear about this matter, you can ask him."

"Okay, I'll ask him now." The next moment, Sokov heard Rokosovsky ask Robachev on the other end of the phone: "Military Commissioner, Misha said, when you returned from Moscow two days ago, he asked him to leave an officer from the infantry brigade to participate in our security work. Is that true?"

"No, I didn't let Major Sokov's subordinates participate in the security work of the headquarters." I heard Lobachev say: "Comrade Commander, give me the microphone, and I will talk to Major Sokov in person."

Soon, Lobachev's voice came from the receiver: "Major Sokov? I am Lobachev."

"Hello, comrade of the military committee."

"You said, on the way back to the front two days ago from Moscow, you left an officer at the headquarters to participate in our security work. Is that true?"

"Yes, comrade of the military committee, this is indeed happening." Lobachev's attitude puzzled Sokov. At that time, it was the other party who asked him to leave Lieutenant Regalin and assist the headquarters' guards in carrying out security tasks. Why did he forget about this in a blink of an eye? In order to awaken the other party's memory, Sokov said cautiously: "In a battle a few days ago, Lieutenant Regalin destroyed 75 German soldiers by one person, and was awarded the medal for this, and was promoted to lieutenant by exception."

"What, what did you say?" Lobachev said in surprise: "How is this possible if a man kills 75 German soldiers? You know, in a small-scale battle, even a company of warriors may not be able to destroy so many enemies. If such a person really exists, he is not a human, but a god."

"Comrade Chief of Staff!" Lobachev turned to Malining, who was standing by the table, and said: "Major Sokov of the Infantry Brigade said that a few days ago, an amazing soldier appeared in their brigade and killed 75 German soldiers alone. I wonder if you have a similar record?"

"No, comrade of the military committee, certainly not." Sokov heard Malining say loudly: "If a soldier can achieve such a strong record, he may be able to directly receive the Venus Medal and be awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union". But I have never seen such content in the report I have received."

If it were a person who said this, Sokov would think that the other party was joking, but Rokosovsky, Robachev and Malining all said the same thing, which shocked him. He was obviously a living person, how could you say you had never met before? Especially Robachev, who once praised Lieutenant Regalin many times in front of him, why did he tell himself seriously that he never knew the person he said.

The microphone returned to Rokosovsky's hands: "Misha, have you been under such pressure recently that you have hallucinated? You know, not only I have never heard of the people you are talking about, but also the military commissioner and the chief of staff have not heard of it. You must have made a mistake."

Rokosovsky had already said this, how could Sokov refute it? He could only follow the other party's meaning: "You are right, Comrade Commander. Maybe it's because I'm under too much pressure recently that I have hallucinations."

After Rokosovsky hung up the phone, Sokov held the microphone for a long time and thought quickly in his mind: This is simply a ghost. Lieutenant Regalin clearly exists. Why did Rokosovsky and the others say that they had never heard of this person? What was going on? What was wrong?

Seeing Sokov holding the microphone and staring blankly, Karsokov quickly called him twice: "Comrade Brigade Commander, Comrade Brigade Commander!"

Sokov woke up from his contemplation and turned his head to look at Karsokov, wanting to hear what the other party wants to say.

"Comrade Brigade Commander, I see you holding the microphone in a daze." Karsokov asked carefully: "Did Comrade Commander say something?"

Sokov remembered that he decided to promote Regalin at that time, which was the result of his discussion with Belkin and Karsokov. I guess Karsokov would not know who Regalin was: "I just asked the commander when I could get Lieutenant Regalin to return, but he told me that he had never heard of this person at all. Even the military committee comrade who let Regalin stay in the headquarters said that he had never heard of Regalin."

Who knew that after he finished speaking, Karsokov's face showed a confused expression: "Comrade Brigade Commander, who is Lieutenant Regalin? Is he the commander of our brigade? Why have I never heard of it?"

Karsokov's words made Sokov completely speechless. If Rokosovsky and others couldn't remember it, it might be understandable that they were busy with military affairs every day and could not remember the name of a grassroots officer. But as his chief of staff, Karsokov personally participated in the discussion on the promotion to Regalin. How could he not know him?

Thinking of this, Sokov was stern and said unhappily: "Comrade Chief of Staff, I'm talking about the serious matters, please don't joke with me."

"Comrade Brigade Commander, I'm not kidding, everything I say is true." Karsokov said with an innocent look on his face: "I really haven't heard of Lieutenant Regalin."

When Sokov was about to say a few more words, a voice suddenly came from the door of the tent: "What are you discussing?"

Sokov didn't have to look back, and he also heard that the person who spoke was Lieutenant Colonel Belkin. He was secretly happy that the record of Regalin was verified by Berkin himself. Others may not remember Regalin, and he could not have known it.

"Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, you are back!" Sokov shook hands with Belkin who walked into the tent, and then asked politely: "Have the Fourth Battalion settled?"

"Yes, comrade comrade commander." Belkin nodded and replied: "After replenishing enough troops for the Fourth Battalion, the remaining troops are all deployed in the forest. Even if the positions of the Fourth Battalion were unfortunately broken by the enemy, the troops that were stuck in the forest had the ability to block the enemy."

"Good job, deputy brigade commander." Sokov praised the other party and began to get back to the topic: "You are back just in time, I have something to ask you."

"Comrade Brigade Commander, please ask me if you have any questions."

"That's right. Didn't a soldier from the brigade who killed 75 German soldiers alone? After you personally took someone to verify his results, we promoted him to lieutenant." Sokov looked at Belkin and asked, "Do you still remember this?"

Hearing Sokov say this, Belkin turned his head and looked at Karsokov. Seeing that the other party spread his hands and put on a helpless expression, he turned his head and looked at Sokov again, shook his head and said, "Sorry, comrade comrade commander, I don't remember what the result I had brought someone to verify. You must have made a mistake!"

Even if a shell fell beside Sokov's side and exploded, the shock he brought to him was probably not as good as Belkin's reply. He shouted in a daze: "How is that possible? It was you who took the soldiers of the Guard Company to check the results and confirmed that it was correct that we discussed promoting the rank of Regalin and reporting the results he had achieved to the commander. Why did you even forget this person in a blink of an eye?"

"I really haven't heard of it." Belkin said confidently: "If I had seen the Lieutenant Regalin you mentioned, I would have an impression. But unfortunately, I had no impression at all. Maybe you remembered it wrong."

So far, everyone said that they had never heard of Lieutenant Regalin, and Sokov was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether Lieutenant Regalin was real or a character he imagined in his mind because of too much pressure.

The phone ringing on the table rang. Karsokov picked up the microphone and listened, and reported to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, the Second Battalion report, saying that Lieutenant Arina had already passed through their positions with the soldiers of the guard company and was coming towards the brigade headquarters."

When Sokov learned that Arlena was coming, hope ignited in his heart. Others didn't remember Regalin. Arlena should remember it. After all, not long ago, she was still fighting side by side in the Kremlin to eliminate the infiltrating German agents.

After Arina and Zhukovin walked into the tent, Sokov immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the two, saying, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Not hard, I'm just performing my duties." Alina replied with a smile.

"Did those prisoners of war successfully enter the German-occupied area? Did they arouse the Germans' suspicion?"

"I don't think so." Alina shook her head and said, "I took the soldiers you sent to me to chase them all the time, and kept firing. In order to make the scene more realistic, I also killed two prisoners of war with my own hands and injured another prisoner of war."

Sokov was shocked after hearing this and asked quickly: "Didn't you hurt our own people by chance?"

"No." Alina shook her head and said confidently: "Our people ran at the front of the team, and the prisoners of war that were killed and injured by us were all behind."

"Well, this is pretty good." Sokov nodded: "If there are casualties and injuries, this prison escape will make this more real."

"Major Sokov, thank you for your cooperation this time." In front of everyone, Alina spoke in an official tone and in an official tone: "After returning to Moscow, I will report this action in detail to Comrade Beria."

Seeing that Alina was about to leave, Sokov took the initiative to say, "I'll send you out."

"No need, my car is outside. I drive away directly, so you don't have to send it."

"It's okay, I'll give you a gift, and there's something to ask you."

After hearing Sokov said this, Alina would no longer object, so she could only nod and agreed: "Then, okay."

Sokov sent Alina to the nearby jeep, and the two stopped one after another.

Instead of getting in the car immediately, Arina turned around and asked Sokov: "Misha, what do you have to ask me?"

"Alena, I encountered something strange today." Sokov said frowningly: "A living person suddenly disappeared. I asked many people who had dealt with him, but others said they had never heard of this person, let alone seen him. They even suspected that it was because of the pressure I was under too much pressure, and thus created a person who did not exist at all."

Arina smiled: "Misha, how could such a thing happen? Tell me, do I know the person you said you disappeared?"

"You must know each other. A few days ago, you were still fighting side by side in the Kremlin."

"Misha, who are you talking about?"
