"Ltd. Colonel," Polytic said after Sokov said, expressed his opinion: "We must first confirm whether there are enemies in the freight center. Even if there are no enemies, we must also find out whether the locomotive can still be used. These alone are far from enough. We must find ways to ensure that the troops will not be noticed by the Germans during the transfer, so that we can reach the location you said that you can get off the train."

"Yes, it's true." Sokov suggested to Politic: "So, please send your scouts to the freight center to reconnaissance and confirm that there are no Germans inside, and that the locomotives can still be used normally."

Polytich pondered Sokov's proposal for a long time, and finally nodded slowly and said, "Okay, comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I will send someone to the freight center for reconnaissance."

It happened that at this time, Zhu Kewen and others walked in from outside.

When Polytic saw the scout under his command, he quickly called him over: "Comrade Sergeant, I have a task to you."

The scout felt that this was his chance to redeem his sins, so he quickly straightened his back and asked respectfully: "Comrade Commander, what instructions do you have?"

After glanced at Sokov, Polytic said to the scout: "Comrade Sergeant, take your reconnaissance team immediately to the freight center to see if there are enemies there, and to confirm whether the locomotive there is still usable."

"Yes, Comrade Commander!" The scout quickly replied, "I will take people out immediately."

Unexpectedly, shortly after the scouts left with his reconnaissance team, the commander of the 1069th Regiment, Harlanchuk, came to the command center.

Seeing Haranchuk's appearance, Politic was stunned at first, and then asked back: "Halanchuk, are your troops ready for battle?"

"Of course, of course, I'm ready for battle," said Harlanchuk. "I've come here to report to you."

"What's the matter?"

"Near our regiment's defense line, there is an air-raid shelter." Haranchuk reported to Polituk: "Several local people were trapped in the cave by more than a dozen German soldiers. After one of my battalion commanders learned the news, they immediately attacked with a platoon of soldiers, knocked the enemy away, and rescued the people trapped in the cave."

After hearing Harlanchuk's report, Politak nodded at him and said in an approving tone: "Good job, Lieutenant Colonel Harlanchuk."

"Comrade Commander, I haven't finished speaking yet," Haranchuk continued: "One of the common people may have been in a state of confusion because of being frightened."

"Nervous?" Polytic was stunned after hearing this, and then asked back: "What kind of behavior does he have?"

"What did he say? He is our junior, from the future..." Halanchuk couldn't help laughing when he said this: "It's simply ridiculous. If it weren't for a nervous mistake, it would be impossible to say such things."

Polytic also laughed.

But Sokov's expression became serious, thinking to himself, what's going on, is there another time traveler here? He asked quickly: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, where is your ordinary citizen now?"

"It's outside." Haranchuk pointed his hand towards the church door and continued, "My people are watching him so that he will not talk around and cause unnecessary panic."

"Come Lieutenant Colonel, can he let him in? I want to hear what he said." Sokov thought that Polytic was the supreme commander, and this kind of thing must be approved by him before Haranchuk would carry out, so he turned his head and asked Polytic: "Come Colonel, is that OK?"

"Of course, of course." Polytic turned to Harlanchuk and said, "Lt. Col. Harlanchuk, bring that commoner in. I want to hear what he can say."

A few minutes later, a young man in ordinary clothes walked in.

After seeing the person's face clearly, Sokov was shocked because it was not someone else who came, but Anton Khabarov whom he and Victoria were looking for.

Anton Khabarov was brought to Politic by Haranthuk: "I say to my friend, tell our teacher again what you just said."

"Comrade of the Division," Khabarov said to Politic in a trembling voice as soon as Haranchuk finished speaking: "Maybe you don't believe it, but what I said is true. I am not a person of your time, I am your descendant, from the future more than seventy years later."

After hearing Khabarov's words, Politak turned his head to look at Sokov, then faced Khabarov and said with a smile: "Since you said you are from the future, then tell me, have we won this war?"

"Victory! Victory!!" Khabarov nodded vigorously and said in a affirmative tone: "As you expected, we defeated the German invaders and achieved the final great victory!"

"Comrade Commander," Khabarov said as soon as he finished speaking, Haranchuk interrupted, "I think he might have been frightened by the Germans. After all, when they were trapped in the air-raid shelter, the Germans shot and threw grenades in it, so they said such nonsense."

"Ltd Colonel Comrade," Khabarov said to Haranchuk, "You are wrong. I am not scared by the Germans. I say everything is true."

Just as Haranchuk was about to say something else, Sokov spoke, looking at Polytic and asked, "Comrade Colonel, can I ask him a few words?"

"Yes." Polytic made a gesture of asking: "Lt. Colonel, just ask."

Sokov nodded and came to Khabarov. He knew very well that when he came to this era, his appearance had changed, and Khabarov could not recognize him at all, so that his identity would not be misleading: "Khabarov, are you calling this name?"

Khabarov looked at Sokov with a blank expression on his face. He didn't know why a man in a German uniform appeared here. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should answer Sokov's question.

Fortunately, Polytic came out in time to rescue: "This commander is ours. He put on the German uniform to carry out his mission."

Kabarov suddenly realized and quickly replied: "Yes, my name is Anton Kbarov."

"I'll ask you, you said we won the final victory." Sokov asked pretended, "Then can you tell us when did we win?"

Although Politak and Khalanthuk did not trust what Khabarov said at all, they still longed to know what the final outcome of the war was. Therefore, after hearing Sokov's question, they both turned their attention to Khabarov and wanted to hear how he answered.

"On May 9, 1945, we won the final victory." Khabarov replied hurriedly.

"How was the final outcome of the war's initiator, that damn beard?" asked Harlanchuk.

"Dead." Khabarov replied without hesitation: "He committed suicide with his newlywed wife Aiva in the basement of the German Chancellor's Office at 3:30 pm on April 30, 1945."

When the two heard the specific time of Xiaomou's death, they showed a joyful expression on their faces. Although it took more than three years to confirm whether this statement was true or false, it was still exciting and good news to hear Xiaomou's death.

Sokov confirmed that the person in front of him was Khabarov he was looking for, and it was also the key to his and Victoria's return to the future. Therefore, he had to find a way to keep the other party by his side so that he had the opportunity to take the next action.

"Comrade Khabarov," Sokov asked the other party as if nothing had happened: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Moscow."

"My troops are now stationed not far from Moscow." Sokov looked at Khabarov and asked, "I wonder if you want to be my subordinate?"

Khabarov looked at Sokov, then looked at Polytic and others, and asked suspiciously: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, aren't you with them?"

"No, I'm just here to contact us." Sokov took the initiative to say his name in order to dispel the other party's concerns: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, the brigade commander of the Infantry Brigade of the 16th Army."

After hearing the name Sokov said, Khabarov widened his eyes in surprise, so the surname "Sokov" is very rare. It would be strange if he suddenly heard this familiar surname.

"How is it, Comrade Khabarov?" Seeing that Khabarov was a little undecided, Sokov added: "You are willing to be our subordinate, right?"

Although Khabarov could not confirm whether Sokov was his friend in his later generations for the time being, considering that he had to stay with him to figure out this matter, he nodded without hesitation and agreed: "I do, of course I do."

"By the way, comrade of the division commander." Haranchuk thought that before he came here, he happened to meet the reconnaissance team leaving, so he asked Polytic curiously: "I just saw the reconnaissance team go out. Have you arranged any reconnaissance missions for them?"

"I asked them to go to the freight center," Polytic replied. "Let them check if there are Germans and, in addition, if the locomotive inside can be used."

After hearing this, Haranchuk was a little confused and asked in confusion: "What are you going there to do? Also, we are not a train, so what's the point of checking whether the locomotive can be used?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Sokov just discussed with me that he could choose to withdraw troops by railway." Polytic looked at Sokov, and then explained to Haranchuk: "So he has to send someone to check if there are Germans in the freight center and whether the locomotive can be used normally."

"What, the troops take the train and retreat from the railway line?" Halanchuk was startled and he quickly reminded Politak: "Comrade Commander, if we take the train to transfer, once we are discovered by the enemy, it may cause a catastrophe. You must be careful!"

"Ltd Colonel, don't worry." Seeing that Haranchuk was so worried, Sokov quickly comforted him and said, "As long as the locomotive of the freight center can be used, I have a way to allow the troops to reach our army's defense zone smoothly without being discovered by the enemy."

Khalanchuk obviously did not believe Sokov's statement. He shook his head and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, I'm going to say that someone had proposed this plan on the spot, but it was quickly rejected by everyone. Taking a train to return to our defense line is indeed faster than our hiking army, but if it is discovered by the enemy, they will destroy the railway and make our train unable to advance, and then bombard with cannons or airplanes, we will be in danger of being wiped out."

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, you are right. If the troops take a train back to our defense line, it will indeed bring danger to the troops." Sokov knew that if he did not convince Haranchuk, it would be very difficult to implement the plan in the future. He continued: "But we can find ways not to let the Germans discover our true identities."

Khalanchuk looked at Sokov and said with a daze: "Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, how can we not let the enemy discover our true identity?"

"It's very simple." Sokov pointed to the German uniform he was wearing and said with a smile: "As long as we ask the soldiers to put on German uniforms, the enemies along the way will definitely think that the troops on the front line are transporting the troops on the back, so as to relax their vigilance."

After hearing Sokov's words, Haranchuk frowned slightly and said, "But, we have about 4,000 people, where can we find so many military uniforms?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Sokov." Polytic also echoed: "I admit that your proposal is very constructive, but where should we go to find four thousand German uniforms?"

"It won't be used that much," Sokov waved his hand and said, "It only takes a few soldiers to put on German uniforms and let them stand in a specific position on the train. Even if the enemy sees them, they will think that the train is full of their own people, so they will relax their vigilance. I think at most one hundred military uniforms are enough."

"Is this really OK?" Harlanchuk asked worriedly.

Sokov thought that in a movie he had watched, after escaping from a German prisoner-of-war camp, he fled by train. Only dozens of soldiers changed into German uniforms, confusing the German troops along the way and did not have any doubts about them.

Therefore, in response to Kalanthuk's doubts, Sokov organized a vocabulary in his mind and then said: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I can't guarantee this. But I can tell you that the risk of doing this is the lowest."

Haranchuk turned his head and looked at Politic and solicited his opinions: "Comrade instructor, do you think this is OK?"

Polytich thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Lt. Col. Harlanchuk, I think Comrade Sokov's proposal may be the only way for us to get out of trouble, so we should try it boldly."

"But if the enemy sees out our identity, we will be in danger of being wiped out..."

Before Haranchuk finished speaking, Polytic raised his hand and interrupted the words behind him: "If we remember it, we will not be able to escape the danger of annihilation. Since we have the opportunity to escape, we must try it boldly."
