When Sokov brought Zhu Kewen and the guard platoon to the defense zone of the Second Battalion, he suddenly saw a group of people wearing German uniforms appearing in front of him.

Zhu Kewen, who was walking beside Sokov, was shocked when he saw the "German army" suddenly appearing in front of him. He quickly drew out his pistol and blocked Sokov, and at the same time whispered to remind Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, hide quickly, there are Germans in front."

But Sokov pushed Zhu Kewen aside and comforted him, "Comrade lieutenant, don't worry, it's not the enemy, it's the comrade of the Second Battalion."

As soon as Sokov finished speaking, two people came out of the crowd and asked Sokov: "Is it a comrade commander?"

Sokov heard the voice of Captain Alexa, the second battalion commander, and quickly took two steps forward: "Yes, it's me. Captain Alexa is here?"

"It's me, comrade comrade commander."

After Alexa raised his hand to salute, he introduced the officers around him to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, this is the third company commander, Captain Orgas, and his company will go on the mission with you."

"Hello, Olga." Sokov asked, holding the other party's hand, "Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready, comrade commander." Olga replied: "All the soldiers put on the German uniforms and made all preparations for the departure."

Sokov let go of the other party's hand and pointed at Zhu Kewen and the guards who followed him: "Let me change into German military uniforms as well."

While the guard platoon was changing its German uniforms, Sokov asked Alexa: "Comrade Captain, have the passages in the minefield been opened?"

"Yes, it has been opened up." After answering this question, Alexa asked back: "After your convoy passes, do you need to re-block the passage?"

"Of course, of course, blockade." Sokov said with a serious expression: "I don't know when we will return. If the enemy attacks your battalion's position before we return, the enemy may pass through the passage you expected and smoothly pass through the minefield in front of the position."

Alexa nodded and then asked with some concern: "Comrade Brigade Commander, you can leave this dangerous action behind such an enemy to be responsible for, why do you have to take risks?"

"The situation behind enemy lines is changing rapidly, and the combat plan needs to be adjusted in time according to the actual situation at that time." Sokov replied: "I am not at ease to hand over such a task to others."

A few minutes later, Zhu Kowen came over to report to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander and the soldiers of the guard platoon have put on German uniforms. I wonder when can I set off?"

"Let the soldiers get on the car." Sokov looked at the German lieutenant uniform on Zhu Kewen and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, you can speak German, just take the bridge of the first car. When you encounter enemies on the road, you will negotiate with them. If the enemy asks us which part we are, you will say that we are from the 7th Armored Division and are being ordered to retreat to the rear for rest."

"Seventh Armored Division?" Alexa, who was standing next to him, was stunned after hearing this, and then asked back: "Aren't they attacking Volokoramsk? When did they start to retreat?"

"It has rained these two days, and many areas outside the city of Volokoramsk have become muddy, and the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles cannot launch an offensive like before, so the German commander ordered the 7th Armored Division to retreat, which gave us the opportunity to pretend to be them." Sokov explained a few simple words to Alexa and urged Zhu Kowen: "Comrade Lieutenant, stop being slow, we must strive to reach our destination before dawn."

In this way, a convoy of ten trucks drove through the defense zone of the Second Battalion and headed towards the German transfer station.

Olga, who was sitting in the same car as Sokov, asked with some concern: "Comrade Brigade Commander, would it be too risky to drive into the German occupied area like this?"

Hearing Olga's question, Sokov smiled faintly and said disapprovingly: "Captain, the Germans may never have dreamed that we would actually be in their military uniforms and swagger in the area they controlled."

"What if you encounter an enemy's investigation?"

"We just say it is the unit of the 7th Armored Division," Sokov said: "If it is a small army of several people, or even a dozen people, after encountering the enemy, it may be subject to strict inspection by the enemy. But our convoy has ten trucks and the vehicles are full of people. When the Germans see it, they will think that we are really the unit of the 7th Armored Division and will not arouse suspicion."

Olga's concerns soon became a reality.

The driving convoy stopped. The driver leaned out and took a look. Then he retracted his head and said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, it's not good. It seems that he encountered a German patrol in front of him."

"Captain," Sokov couldn't help frowning when he heard the driver say this, and then ordered Olga: "Let your soldiers be ready for battle, and I'll take people to the front to take a look."

Sokov pushed open the door and got out of the car, went to the cab of the previous car, raised his hand and patted the door.

Sitting in the cab of the car were Sergeant Zub and a soldier from the guard platoon. When they heard Sokov slamming the door, they quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

After Zubu got off the car, he asked Sokov in a low voice: "Comrade Brigade Commander, what's the matter?"

"It seems that there is a German patrol ahead, stopping our convoy." Sokov said to the two: "You go with me to meet the commander of the German patrol. It is best to find a way to fool them. If you can't fool them, just shoot them."

Zubu and the other two agreed, carrying submachine guns, followed Sokov's back and towards the German patrol ahead.

When he arrived at the front of the convoy, Sokov saw five German tricycles blocking the convoy's way. A German lieutenant was standing next to the first truck and negotiating with Lieutenant Zhu Kewen in the cab. Not far away, more than a dozen German soldiers with live ammunition were standing near the motorcycle, but the muzzle was aimed at the direction of the truck convoy.

Sokov was worried that Zhuke would lose more classical Chinese, so he quickly accelerated his pace and asked, "What's going on? Why did the convoy stop?"

The German lieutenant who was talking to Zhu Kewen saw a major walking towards him, turned around slowly, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Major, where are you from? Why did you appear here?"

"I am Major Ernst of the 7th Armored Division." Sokov blew his identity and asked the other party with a stern face: "Lieutenant, why do you block our way?"

"I am the patrol captain of the patrol team, Lieutenant Oliver, responsible for patrolling this area." The German Lieutenant said in an official tone and in an official tone: "Mr. Major, please show your ID."

When he was formulating this plan, Sokov considered that if he wanted to sneak into the German transfer station, he would definitely be checked by the soldiers on duty. Therefore, he specially found several military certificates from the dead German officers and selected one with a photo of the certificate that was similar to himself.

At this moment, seeing Lieutenant Oliver ask for his ID, Sokov took out the ID from his shirt pocket and handed it over.

Second Lieutenant Oliver took the ID and used the flashlight to carefully check whether the photos on the ID were the same as Sokov.

The photo on the soldier certificate selected by Sokov was only three or four minutes similar to Sokov, but the visibility was not high at night and the German lieutenant dared to use a flashlight to compare Sokov's face, so he actually got away with it.

After checking the ID, Oliver held the documents in both hands and handed them back to Sokov, saying respectfully: "Mr. Major, you can continue on the road!"

With the order of Lieutenant Oliver, the patrol motorcycles retreated to the roadside, giving way to Sokov's convoy.

When the truck Sokov was riding by the patrol motorcycle, Olga, who was sitting next to Sokov, breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Comrade Brigade Commander, it was so dangerous just now. I thought it was about to fight, which scared me out of a cold sweat."

After hearing this, Sokov just smiled faintly and said, "Captain, don't worry. Although there are more than a dozen German patrols, we are wearing military uniforms like them, which will not easily arouse their suspicion. Even if we accidentally reveal our identity, our number is ten times more than them. It is not a trivial matter to destroy them."

An hour later, the convoy arrived two or three kilometers away from the transfer station.

To be safe, Sokov did not immediately order the convoy to enter the transfer station, but stopped on the side of the road.

Seeing this, Olga asked in surprise: "Comrade Brigade Commander, why did we stop?"

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Wait for someone?" Olga asked in confusion: "Who?"

"Of course it's our scouts." Sokov explained to Olga: "It was they who discovered the German transfer station that I temporarily formulated a sneak attack plan. Now that we have arrived near the transfer station, we must first understand the enemy's troops deployment in the transfer station before we can find a way to seize the place."

"But how do we get in touch with them?" Olga asked. "If I were a member of the reconnaissance team, I would definitely not dare to approach it easily when I saw a group of German soldiers here."

Sokov turned around and opened the small glass window behind the cab and asked, "Comrade Radio, do you have contact with the comrades in the reconnaissance team?"

The radio operator who followed Sokov's operation was sitting in the back car. When he heard Sokov's question, he quickly replied: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I am calling them, but there is no response yet."

"Continue to call," Sokov said. "We can't take any action before we contact them."

A few minutes later, the radio operator excitedly said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, contact us." After that, he handed the headphones and the megaphone in through the small window.

Sokov put on his headphones and said to the sender: "I am Major Sokov, where are you?"

"Comrade Brigade Commander," replied the scout, "We are two or three kilometers away from the transfer station. However, there was a German convoy parked on the highway, full of German soldiers, and we dare not go over easily."

After hearing this, Sokov laughed and said, "Don't worry, the convoy you see is us. Just come here."

Although Sokov had already made it clear, the scouts still seemed very nervous: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I can't be sure whether the convoy you are in and the convoy I saw are the same convoy."

Sokov felt that there was some reason for the scouts to say this. The convoys parked on the road may not be the only one of them. If there is a miss, it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, he said to the sender: "Comrade Scout, you must have a flashlight with you?"

"Of course, of course I have a flashlight."

"You send a signal to the convoy with a flashlight." Sokov continued: "If I can see the flashlight, it means that the convoy you see is our convoy. If you can't see it, you have to think of other ways."

"Okay, comrade brigade commander." said the scout, "I'll send someone to send a signal right away."

After a while, the timid voice of the scout came from the headphones: "Did you see the flashlight?"

Just as Sokov was looking out, the driver suddenly said excitedly: "Comrade Brigade Commander, look, there is a flashlight flashing in the direction of nine o'clock."

Sokov looked in the direction of the driver's finger, and indeed saw flashlights flashing in the forest in the distance. He quickly said to the sender: "Comrade Scout, I saw that your location is at nine o'clock in the convoy."

"I understand, comrade comrade commander." The scout said in a relaxed tone: "Let's hurry over immediately."

Without waiting for Sokov's order, Olga took the initiative to open the car door and get out of the car, arranged for people to guard the convoy near the convoy, and to receive the upcoming scouts.

More than ten minutes later, several black shadows appeared on the roadside. Sokov guessed that the reconnaissance team had arrived, and handed the headphones and the microphone in his hand to the radio operator, got off the bus and stood next to the bus.

A sergeant walked in front. After raising his hand to salute Sokov, he was about to report according to the regulations, but Sokov stopped him: "Comrade Sergeant, don't say anything extra, just talk about the information you have detected."

"Okay, comrade comrade commander." The sergeant took out a hand-drawn map from his pocket and placed it on the hood of the truck. At the same time, he lit up the flashlight and pointed to the map to report to Sokov: "After our reconnaissance, there were about fifty officers and soldiers in the enemy's transfer station."

"More than fifty officers and soldiers?" After hearing the numbers mentioned by the sergeant, Olga was stunned and asked in surprise: "There are only more than fifty people in such a large transfer station?"

"Yes, comrade officer." The sergeant looked at Olga in front of him in the uniform of a German corporal. Although he was not sure of his military rank, he saw that he could speak in front of Sokov, and probably had a low position. He explained respectfully: "Although there are a large number of weapons, ammunition and various materials in this transfer station, the enemy obviously did not think that our people would appear nearby, so the defense was not tight."

Olga, who was already suspicious of sneak attack on the transfer station, had a surprise expression on his face after hearing the sergeant's words. He turned to Sokov and said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, there are only more than fifty enemies in the transfer station. Even if we fail to sneak attack, we can easily capture this place if we turn to a strong attack."
