Khabarov picked up the map and looked at it carefully.

Karsokov retreated to Sokov and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Comrade Brigade Commander, can he really find the location of the hidden arsenal?"

Sokov didn't say anything, but turned his head and cast inquiring eyes at him.

Karsokov explained in a panic: "We have recently sent dozens of reconnaissance teams to search in the forest. Apart from the two arsenals that were originally discovered, we have not gained anything yet."

"Comrade Chief of Staff, since we have used so many people and spent so long, there is no gain, so why not let him try it?" Sokov smiled and said, "Will the worst situation be worse than now?"

Karsokov thought about it and it seemed that this was true. Since learning that the headquarters could not provide weapons and supplies to the infantry brigade, the brigade had sent a large number of people to search for hidden arsenals in the nearby forest to solve the difficulty of not getting supplies. Unfortunately, although it took a lot of manpower and time, it still gained nothing. Even if the location provided by this new soldier named Khabarov could not find the hidden arsenal, it seemed that there was no impact.

Thinking of this, Karsokov turned his attention to Khabarov, and secretly hoped that the other party would find the ammunition and supplies urgently needed by the troops at the location marked on the map.

A few minutes later, Khabarov picked up the red and blue pencil placed on the table, drew a few circles on the ground with the red end, and then stood up straight and said, "Misha, I have marked the place I know."

After hearing what Baharov said, Sokov picked up the map and looked carefully. Karsokov and Berkin also came over and tilted their heads to look at the red circle drawn on it.

"Comrade Brigade Commander," Karsokov said with a few glances, pointing to one of the red circles, "the hidden arsenal of this place has been emptied by us."

Sokov smiled on his face, and he said to Karsokov with a side face: "Comrade Chief of Staff, is this a sign that the information provided to us by Comrade Khabarov is absolutely accurate?"

Although one of the locations marked by Khabarov did find a hidden arsenal, Karsokov felt that it might be a coincidence that the other party could circle the position. Therefore, when he heard Sokov say this, he hesitated: "Whether there is a hidden arsenal in the other areas, it will be known after going to the field survey."

"Then immediately draw personnel from the Special Company and the Guard Company to form a 30-person search team, led by Khabarov, to search for hidden arsenals at the encircled locations."

Berkin did not object to the order issued by Sokov, and even put forward his own additional opinions: "Comrade Brigade Commander, in order to find out the location of the hidden arsenal as soon as possible, the search team must not only carry a radio station to keep in touch with us at any time, but also send a few trucks, which can not only shorten the operation time of the search team, but also pull some of them back after they really find ammunition and supplies."

Regarding Belkin's suggestion, Sokov immediately followed suit: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, you are right. In addition to the radio station, the search team will be equipped with three trucks and a jeep. In addition, Comrade Khabarov has just joined the army and has no prestige yet. If he has asked him to command this army alone, the soldiers may not be convinced by him, so he arranged for Second Lieutenant Zhu Kewen to be his deputy to assist him in his work."

"Comrade Brigade Commander, I agree with your arrangement." As soon as Sokov finished speaking, Karsokov expressed his opinion in time: "I will draw personnel now and form a search team to try to get them off as soon as possible."

An hour later, the search team was formed and prepared to set off.

Sokov called Zhu Kowen to himself and told him: "Comrade Lieutenant, your operation this time is to search for the secret arsenal hidden in the forest. Only Khabarov knows the general location. I arranged for you to join the search team, hoping that you can assist him in managing the troops and find the urgently needed ammunition and supplies as soon as possible. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, comrade comrade commander." Zhu Kewen nodded vigorously and replied in an affirmative tone: "I will do my best to assist Comrade Khabarov in his work."

When the search team set off, Khabarov, who had already gotten into a jeep, suddenly remembered something, pushed open the car door and got out, and pulled Sokov aside.

"Misha!" Khabarov looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so he asked Sokov: "You have been in this era for so long, and you are the brigade commander, why don't you create AK47?"

Khabarov's words made Sokov lose his mind for a moment. In his previous life, through Yakov's connections and background, he developed the AK47, anti-tank rocket launcher and 107mm light towed rocket launcher in advance. Although he also rescued Yakov in this life, the other party's whereabouts are unknown at this moment. Even if he wanted to ask him for help, he was helpless.

Seeing that Sokov had not responded for a long time, Baharov reached out and grabbed Sokov's arm and shook it twice: "Misha, why don't you speak?"

Although in the last life, the manufacturing drawings of AK47 were drawn by Sokov, this time, he wanted to hand over the credit to Baharov: "Can you draw the drawings of AK47?"

"Of course," Khabarov said confidently: "Don't forget that I graduated from the Moscow Mechanical Academy. Drawing drawings of parts is a trivial matter for me. What's more, over the years, I have followed a few friends to dig the battlefield everywhere, and I have participated in the repair of the damaged weapons dug out. Give me half a day, and I can draw all the parts of the AK47 firearm intact."

Sokov smiled on his face, thinking that with Khabarov's assistance in this life, he might be able to develop more new weapons than in his previous life.

He raised his hand and patted Khabarov's right shoulder, and said with a smile: "Anton, your current mission is to lead people to find the hidden arsenal in the forest to ensure that my troops have sufficient combat supplies. When you have time, it is not too late to slowly draw the drawings of new weapons."

"That's fine. Anyway, even if the drawings are drawn, it will take at least half a year to get new weapons to be equipped with troops." Baharov turned around and walked back, and continued to say, "I'll look for those hidden arsenals first. As for those drawings, it's not too late to draw them slowly after the large counterattack under Moscow city begins."

When Khabarov got into the passenger seat of the jeep and closed the door casually, Zhukowen, who was sitting in the back row, said with slightest, "Comrade Khabarov, it only took two or three days for you to come to our army, but I think you and the brigade commander seem to have a close relationship. Have you known each other before?"

"I don't know you, I've never seen you before." Baharov denied without hesitation: "Comrade Lieutenant, you see that my relationship with the brigade commander looks good, isn't it because I once told him that I could help him find the secret arsenal hidden in the forest."

"Is that true?" Zhu Kewen asked suspiciously.

"Of course, of course, that's the case." Baharov replied without changing his face.

Zhu Kewen leaned forward slightly and patted Chulsin on the shoulder where he was driving: "Cuersin, drive!"

Sokov watched the convoy leave before turning back to the brigade command.

"Comrade Brigade Commander," Karsokov couldn't help asking when he saw Sokov come back, "Do you really think that Baharov, a soldier who had just joined the army for one day, can help us find the arsenals hidden in the forest?"

Although Sokov was confident when he supported Baharov, this time Baharov took people to find a hidden arsenal. Sokov had no idea whether he could complete the task. After all, no matter how familiar he is with the map, it would be difficult to find a hidden arsenal without the help of a locator.

"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov organized the words in his mind, and then said, "Since I chose to believe in Khabarov, I guess he would not disappoint me."

Karsokov sighed softly and said helplessly: "I hope so."

There was a rumbling sound of cannons outside. Judging from the strength of the sound, it should be that somewhere was violently bombarded by the German army.

Just as Sokov thought of the observation platform set up on the tree to view the situation, the phone ringing on the table suddenly rang.

Karsokov grabbed the microphone: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Karsokov, Chief of Staff!...What, what do you say? Say it again!...Okay, I know, I will report to the brigade commander. By the way, except for leaving a few observation posts, the rest of the people retreated to the second-tier position. Do you understand?"

Before Karsokov could put down his microphone, Sokov asked bluntly: "Which battalion's position was attacked by the German army?"

"The Second Battalion is the position of the Second Battalion and was violently bombarded by the German army." Karsokov hurriedly reported: "I have ordered Captain Alexa to leave a few observation posts, and the rest of the personnel retreated to the second line of defense."

Sokov nodded after hearing this, and was about to say something else when the phone rings on the table rang again.

"I am Chief of Staff Karsokov! What, are you also bombarded by the German army?"

"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov heard Karsokov's words and immediately realized that another battalion's position was bombarded by the enemy, so before the other party put down the microphone, he couldn't wait to ask: "Which battalion's position was also bombarded by the German army?"

"The Fourth Battalion is the Fourth Battalion's position and was bombarded by the German army." After Karsokov said this quickly to Sokov, he said to the microphone: "Major Vasia, immediately order your troops to retreat to the second-line position to avoid being killed or injured by enemy artillery fire."

Belkin came over and asked Sokov tentatively: "Comrade Brigade Commander, maybe the position of the Fourth Battalion will become the main attack direction for the Germans. Do I need me to go ahead and stare?"

"There is no need for this." Sokov felt that even if the German army broke through the position of the Fourth Battalion, the reserve team deployed behind the Fourth Battalion was enough to block the enemy. Therefore, whether Berkin went or not, the result was similar. He stared at the map for a while, looked up at Berkin and asked, "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, where is the troops of the 315th Infantry Division now?"

"Here." Belkin pointed to the map and said to Sokov: "Except for the wounded being sent to field hospitals, the remaining troops were stationed in the forest behind the Second Battalion."

After hearing this, Sokov nodded slightly, with a smile on his face: "In this way, even if the Germans luckily break through the second battalion position, we don't have to worry. The commanders and soldiers of the 315th Division will help us block the gap and eliminate the enemies that broke in."

After hearing this, Belkin said hesitantly: "Comrade Brigade Commander, it is probably inappropriate to mobilize friendly troops without authorization from superiors?"

"What you said makes sense." Sokov nodded and echoed: "Although the 315th Infantry Division's troops are in our defense zone, it is indeed necessary to get authorization from superiors to mobilize them to participate in the battle."

After saying that, Sokov caught another phone number and called the Group Army Command.

The phone was quickly connected, and a strange voice came from the receiver: "Hey, this is the Army Command, who are you?"

"Hello, I am Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, the commander of the Infantry Brigade. If you have any questions, please ask the commander for instructions." Sokov said politely: "Please ask the commander to answer the phone."

"Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, please wait for a moment, and I will transfer the phone to you immediately."

Soon, a familiar voice came from the receiver, but it was not Rokosovsky, but Malinin: "Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, are you doing anything?"

"Hello, comrade Chief of Staff!" Sokov explained his situation to Malining: "The enemy carried out violent shelling on the positions of the Second and Fourth Battalions at the same time. It seemed that they were preparing to attack in both directions. Colonel Polytic's 315th Infantry Division was stationed in the forest behind the Second Battalion. I made this call to obtain authorization from my superiors to use this unit at critical moments."

After hearing Sokov's words, Malining quickly covered the microphone with his hands and turned to Rokosovsky, who was chatting with Polytic and others next to him, saying: "Comrade Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Sokov called and said that the enemy was bombarding the positions of the Second and Fourth Battalions, and there were signs of attacking. He asked whether at a critical moment, the troops of the 315th Infantry Division stationed in the forest behind the Second Battalion could be used."

Polytic did not expect that Malining would suddenly mention his troops, and hurriedly looked at Rokosovsky, wanting to hear what decision he would make.

"Col. Polytic." Rokosovsky did not make a decision immediately, but turned his head to look at Polytic and asked, "What do you think?"

Politic understood that Rokosovsky gave the decision on this matter to himself. He thought for a moment and said without hesitation: "Comrade General, since my troops have entered your defense zone, I will naturally obey your orders. No matter what decision you make, I will firmly obey."

Rokosovsky smiled slightly and then said, "Comrade Colonel, I suggest you go back to the defense zone of the infantry brigade immediately, see what's going on, and then decide whether to cooperate with the infantry brigade. What do you think?"
