While Sokov was chatting with Vera, he suddenly saw a commander walking towards the tent quickly.
The man came to the door of the tent, stopped, sorted out his military appearance, then stood at the spot and shouted into the tent: "Report! Captain Zariyakin is ordered to come!"
Karsokov's voice came from the tent: "Please come in!"
When he saw the captain named Zariyakin walking into the tent, Sokov suddenly remembered that this person should be the commander who was preparing to attack the enemy's supply points, and hurriedly said to Vera: "Villa, you go back first. Remember to tell Romanov that I will see him when I have time."
Sokov entered the tent and saw that Karsokov was giving Zaryakin the mission, so he did not speak, but stood quietly aside.
After Karsokov introduced tonight's mission, he looked at Zariakin and asked, "Captain, are the missions clear?"
"Everything is clear, Comrade Chief of Staff." Zariakin replied loudly.
"Is there any difficulty?" Karsokov asked.
Zariyakin hesitated for a moment and replied, "We will work hard to overcome all difficulties."
"Captain," Sokov couldn't help but speak when he heard Zariyakin say this, "You are going to the town of Popkovo that you attacked, which is an important supply point for the Germans, and you must be on high alert. You are determined to carry out this task with a mortal determination, and the starting point is good. But I hope you can bring more soldiers back instead of dying with the supply point for the Germans. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Zariyajin said with a firm expression: "I think there will definitely be a lot of casualties to destroy the enemy's supply points. But in order to defend our motherland and to repel the invaders who broke into our territory, I think no matter how much the price is, it is worth it."
After hearing Zariyakin say this, Sokov curled his lips with some dissatisfaction, thinking in his heart: "The commander in front of him looks like a reckless man who only knows how to attack and rush. If he is asked to lead the team to carry out this task, will the final result be that the enemy has not been eliminated and they are wiped out?"
Just as Sokov was hesitating and considering whether he should lead the team in person, the phone ringing on the table rang.
Karsokov picked up the microphone, listened for a while, and ordered the other party, "It's great, this is really great, let them come right away."
"Chief of Staff, what's the matter?" Sokov asked after Karsokov put down the phone.
"Comrade Brigade Commander, the First Reconnaissance Team is back." Karsokov said with a relaxed expression: "The Second and Third Reconnaissance Teams have been back a long time ago, and only the First Reconnaissance Team is left without any movement. I thought something happened to them."
A few minutes later, Sokov heard someone shouting a report outside, and said to Karsokov: "It should be the comrades from the First Reconnaissance Team that are here, let them in quickly."
Karsokov nodded and then shouted outside: "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, five soldiers came in from outside.
Seeing these soldiers' unkempt faces and dusty clothes, Karsokov couldn't help but frown slightly, and then asked, "Aren't you seven people? Are there two more?"
"Comrade Chief of Staff," he heard Karsokov ask, the only corporal of the five who wears the ranks, took a step forward, and reported: "We encountered a German unit during the reconnaissance process. After fighting, we luckily broke through the encirclement. Two soldiers died in the process of breaking through."
"What, two people died?" Sokov was shocked and asked immediately: "Where did you encounter the enemy? How many troops do the enemy have?"
"It's four or five kilometers southwest of the defense zone." The corporal replied: "There are more than a hundred Germans."
"There are more than a hundred Germans?" Sokov widened his eyes in surprise: "Then how did you escape?"
The corporal turned his head and looked at a soldier who was about thirty years old with a Mosinnagan rifle beside him, and then said, "At that time, the Germans surrounded us. Looking at the enemies surrounding us from all directions, I felt that I could not get out..."
"Tell the point." Sokov saw that the corporal seemed to be a storyteller and was worried that he would not be able to say the point for a long time, so he interrupted him impatiently: "Comrade Corporal, you just need to tell me how you got out of here."
"Comrade Brigade Commander, we can escape safely all by Comrade Regalin beside me." The corporal pointed to the warrior beside him and said, "It was all by his weapons in his hand that he destroyed most of the enemies, so that the enemy did not dare to siege us again because of his timidity. We escaped by chance."
"Wait a minute, comrade Corporal." When Belkin heard this, he could no longer help: "You said you were besieged by more than a hundred Germans, but this soldier killed most of the Germans, and you were able to escape. I was not wrong."
"Yes, comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comra
Sokov walked to the warrior, looked him up and down, and asked curiously: "Comrade Regalin, are the words your team leader said true?"
"It's all true, comrade comrade commander."
"Destroy most of the enemies." Belkin couldn't help asking: "Did you count how many enemies you killed in total?"
"75 enemies, deputy brigade commander."
Regalin's words made everyone in the tent take a breath and kill 75 enemies in the battle, which was even more awesome than the King of War.
Although this record sounds like a bragging, Sokov chose to believe that after all, they did not need to lie in front of him. He asked at Regalin: "Comrade Regalin, have you ever been to military academy?"
"Yes, comrade brigade commander, I've been to military academy." Regalin replied with a expression: "I graduated from the Moscow Advanced Military Synthetic Command Academy."
Sokov knew that the Moscow Higher Army Synthetic Command Academy was established in December 1917 and is the only military academy in the country that can hold graduation ceremonies on Red Square. The academy has been on duty in the Kremlin for many years and has trained a large number of excellent military commanders and military police.
But he was a little confused. Since he graduated from the Command Academy, at least he was a second lieutenant, but why was Regalin in front of him still an ordinary private? With such a question, he asked tentatively: "Comrade Regalin, I want to ask you, why are you still a private?"
Hearing Sokov's question, Regalin grinned and replied: "I graduated with the rank of lieutenant and was promoted to lieutenant two years later. Then when I was about to be promoted to lieutenant, I was arrested and removed from my post. After the war broke out, I was released from prison and went straight to the grassroots company and became an ordinary soldier."
From Regalin's story, Sokov immediately understood that this person was probably implicated by someone during the Great Purge, so he was arrested and imprisoned and removed from his post. If the true scholar said that he killed 75 enemies alone, it means that he was a not simple person, and it would be a bit in a difficult position to let him continue to be a warrior.
After a moment of silence, Sokov asked again: "Comrade Regalin, tell me, how did you destroy more than 70 enemies alone?"
Regalin patted the rifle in his hand and said to Sokov: "My marksmanship is accurate. I hide in a hidden place and shoot at the enemies close to me. In this way, I fired all the bullets I carried and killed 75 enemies."
"It seems that you have the potential of a sniper." Sokov said with emotion after hearing this: "If you can become a sniper, I believe you will definitely achieve good results in the future."
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Berkin saw that Sokov was quite appreciative of Regalin, and quickly interrupted: "It sounds like a fantasy to eliminate 75 enemies by one person. Don't you really believe that he can achieve such a record?"
"Of course I believe in him, comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-com
Worried that Belkin would make Regalin feel disheartened again, Sokov also added: "We don't see anything with our own eyes, and even if we can't accept it, we can't easily deny it. Otherwise, it will make our soldiers feel disheartened."
When Belkin stopped singing opposite him, Sokov turned his head and said to Zariyakin: "Captain, I want Comrade Regalin to join your special company and serve as your deputy. You have no objection."
"Comrade Brigade Commander, I obey your arrangement." After Zariyakin said this, he looked at Regalin again and said with some embarrassment: "But he is just an ordinary soldier now. Even if he is my deputy, the people below may not be convinced."
"This is easy to deal with." As long as Zariyakin does not object, Sokov will decide to formally appoint Regalin as the deputy company commander of the special company. Before taking office, he must first solve his military rank problem: "Comrade Regalin, since you have been a lieutenant before, I will officially promote you to the rank of lieutenant as the brigade commander of the infantry brigade."
Hearing Sokov said this, Regalin's mood suddenly became excited. He quickly stood at attention and replied loudly: "Serve the Soviet motherland."
"Lieutenant Regalin," Sokov said seriously: "Captain Zaryakin's special company will go on a special mission tonight. I hope you can use your strengths to assist him in completing this mission. How about it, are you confident?"
Regalin was full of gratitude for Sokov in his heart at this moment. When he heard the other party ask him, he immediately replied without hesitation: "Don't worry, comrade brigade commander, I will do my best to assist the company commander in completing tonight's mission."
Seeing that Sokov appointed Regalin as his deputy company commander, Zariyakin felt that it was necessary to establish a good relationship with the other party so that it would be conducive to the next cooperation. So he took two steps forward, reached out to Regalin, and said enthusiastically: "Lieutenant Regalin, I am Captain Zaryyakin, the commander of the special company. Welcome to join my company."
"Hello, Comrade Commander." Regalin quickly reached out and shook the other party: "I hope we can cooperate with each other in the future."
After everyone left, Belkin spoke to Sokov again, "Comrade Brigade Commander, do you really think what Lieutenant Regalin said is true? Can someone really kill 75 Germans in one breath? I feel that those who can reach this level cannot be considered humans, but gods."
Although Sokov had just been maintaining Regalin, he was still somewhat suspicious about such a record. At this moment, he nodded: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, such a record sounds like a fantasy. For the sake of safety, before reporting to the headquarters, someone will be sent to verify the matter."
Seeing that Sokov's idea was consistent with him, Belkin nodded and immediately said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, I will lead the team to take charge of the investigation."
"Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander," Sokov couldn't help but worry about his safety when he heard Belkin say he wanted to verify the matter himself: "Although there are no traces of Germans found around our defense zone, it is still too dangerous to complete such a task. As the deputy brigade commander of the infantry brigade, how can you easily take risks? I think it's better to leave the task of verifying the combat performance to other comrades to take responsibility."
"Comrade Brigade Commander." But Belkin rejected Sokov's kindness: "If I can't go to the scene to check it out myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Seeing that Belkin was so stubborn, Sokov could not persuade him again, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, Deputy Brigade Commander, since you have to persist, I don't object. But I need to arrange more staff and go with you. Even if you encounter any danger, someone will come back in time to report the message."
"Bobrykov!" Sokov walked to the door of the tent and shouted outside: "Come to me."
The tent where Bobricov lives is not far from the tent of the brigade command. When he heard Sokov's shouting, Bobricov, who was lying and resting, immediately got up from the bed and trotted into the brigade command's tent.
"Comrade Brigade Commander," although there were several commanders in the command center, Bobricov only saluted Sokov, and then asked respectfully: "What instructions do you have?"
"That's right, comrade Captain." Sokov told Bobricov about the incident in detail in order to make him more vigilant, and finally told him: "You bring a platoon and follow the deputy brigade commander to the combat area and verify the results achieved by the First Reconnaissance Team."
"Don't worry, comrade brigade commander." Bobricov learned that Sokov planned to let him escort Berkin himself, and understood that Sokov was worried about Berkin's safety, and quickly expressed his opinion: "We will definitely ensure the safety of the deputy brigade commander."
"Captain, hurry up and go back and summon people." Sokov urged: "The enemy has killed and injured so many people, and the rest will definitely not be able to drag the bodies away. So you must arrive at the combat site as soon as possible and verify the performance of Lieutenant Regalin."
"Yes, comrade comrade brigade commander, I'll go back and summon people now."
After Sokov waited for Bobricov to leave, he turned around and asked Belkin: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, are you satisfied with my arrangement?"
