"Comrade Brigade Commander!" As soon as Sokov finished speaking, Bereh explained anxiously: "I have asked. This girl is one of our scouts. She has important information and needs to be sent to the Group Army Command immediately."

"Female scout?" Hearing Bereth say this, Sokov immediately thought of the female scout who had rescued before, and asked tentatively: "Col. What is the name of the female scout? Is it Mariah Vidjeev?"

Berley hesitated for a while, and then replied: "No, comrade comrade, she is not called Mariah Vidjeeveva, but Lisa, who is affiliated with the Reconnaissance Office of the Group Army. She said that there is important information and needs to be reported to her superiors immediately."

Sokov couldn't help feeling disappointed when he heard that he was not the female scout he knew. He said to the sender: "Comrade Colonel, send the female scout here immediately."

A few minutes later, a captured tricycle arrived at the position where Sokov was. After the car stopped, a young girl wearing civilian clothes and floral turban came out of the standby and followed the motorcycle to find Sokov.

After looking at the girl in front of him, Sokov asked casually: "Are you a scout in the Group Army Reconnaissance Department?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander. I am the scout Lisa." The female scout in casual clothes looked at Sokov and replied in a humble manner: "I have important information on me and I need to report it to my superiors immediately. I wonder if you can provide me with a radio station or send someone to the headquarters?"

Although the female scout said that she had important information, Sokov did not agree. He clearly remembered that Mariah Vidjeev said the same thing last time, but the information she brought back did not play much role in the city's defense. Now that the female scout named Lisa said this, it might be another piece of information of little significance.

Thinking of this, Sokov asked tentatively: "Comrade Lisa, can you tell me the information you have obtained?"

Sokov's words aroused Lisa's vigilance. She stared at Sokov for a while, then shook her head and said, "Sorry, Comrade Commander, this information is of great importance. Only the leader of the group army can be qualified to contact. I have no right to disclose any details to you."

Seeing Lisa look down on her so much, Sokov felt a little unhappy, but he did not show it. Instead, he called the radio operator over and told him, "Comrade radio operator, send this female scout the intelligence to the Army Command."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the radio operator agreed, Lisa said unexpectedly: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, this information is of great importance, so I will send the telegram in person!"

The radio operator did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he could only look at Sokov asking for advice. Sokov nodded to him and signaled him to do what Lisa said. Seeing that Sokov agreed to his request, Lisa thanked him, and followed the radio operator to the telegraph machine placed far away in the trench.

Looking at Lisa's back, Sokov murmured in a low voice: "What's so great about it? Keep it secret from me. The information you have is nothing more than the German army gathered several infantry divisions and armored divisions, how many aircraft, tanks, and cannons there, and when will it be to launch an attack on the factory area north of the city."

Although Sokov was not speaking loudly, Lisa, who was walking along the trench, was shocked, and then stopped and glanced at Sokov with a surprised look. The radio operator noticed that Lisa had stopped, so he turned his head and asked curiously: "Comrade Lisa, why did you stop?"

Lisa shook her head in panic and said, "It's nothing. I just thought about something and was fascinated by it. Let's go and send a telegram."

When Lisa started sending a message, Major Tenev walked to Sokov and asked in a low voice: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, how do you know that the enemy has assembled several divisions and a large amount of technical equipment and is ready to attack us?"

"Major Tenev, is this your first time fighting with the Germans?" Sokov turned his head and looked at Tenev with a hint of contempt on his face: "They have been attacking Stalingrad for a long time, but so far, they have not been able to capture this city. The German Command must be very angry. In order to save their face, they will definitely concentrate their superior forces and technical equipment, and at a certain period of time, launch a new round of strong attacks on us again to achieve the goal of capturing the city."

"Lt. Colonel," when he heard Sokov say this, Tnev felt a little alarmist in his heart. No matter what, the counterattack against the German army began before, how could the Germans still concentrate their superior forces and technical equipment to attack Stalingrad again? But out of politeness, Tnev did not put his emotions on his face, but asked modestly: "When do you think the Germans will launch a new round of attacks on us?"

"The gathering of troops takes time." Sokov recalled the history he knew in his mind. In mid-October, the German army launched a powerful offensive against the Soviet army, causing heavy casualties to the troops defending the factory area, and most areas were occupied, and even Cuikov's headquarters was almost driven into the Volga River. Therefore, he answered Tnev's question in a tactful way: "About mid-October, the Germans can launch a new attack on us."

"The Germans launched a new attack on us?" Tenev's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I think your judgment must be wrong. You must know that we are attacking the enemy. Where can they mobilize their troops and attack us?"

Sokov was unwilling to have a meaningless argument with others on such issues, so he changed the subject in time: "Major Tenev, my troops are attacking the third line of defense of the German army. You can go back and prepare your soldiers. Once Captain Vanya's troops seize the German positions, you will take over the defense."

…………

Cui Kov's headquarters was extremely busy at this moment, and the communication soldiers were calling desperately towards the sending machine, conveying the commands of the headquarters, or recording the latest battle situation sent back from the front line... Lisa's important information was sent back to the headquarters by telegram in this case.

After the radio operator translated the received telegrams, he directly handed them to the communications staff, and the communications staff summarized the telegrams and handed them over to the Chief of Staff Krelov. Krelov did not pay enough attention when he saw this telegram. After all, what everyone is concerned about today is the progress of the counterattack. This kind of intelligence that the German forces gathered or mobilized was easily ignored.

After dark, the communication situation in the headquarters improved. Cui Kev, who was so tired, sat in his seat and drank two sips of tea and asked Krelov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, has the 73rd Infantry Brigade taken down the third line of defense of the German army?"

"Please wait, Comrade Commander!" Krelov began to read the telegram in front of him, wanting to see if there was any telegram sent by Sokov: "I'll look for it to see if there is any telegram from Lieutenant Colonel Sokov."

Krelov accidentally found the telegram sent by Lisa. He didn't pay attention at first, but after seeing the contents clearly, he was shocked. He quickly read the contents twice, and then said to Cui Koff: "Comrade Commander, more than an hour ago, the radio station used by Lieutenant Colonel Sokov once sent us a telegram about the German army's mobilization information."

Trikov looked up at Krelov and asked, "Comrade Chief of Staff, what is it written on it?"

Krelov said with a serious expression: "The telegram said that the German army is preparing to assemble five infantry divisions and two armored divisions to launch an attack on the Derzhinsky Tractor Factory in mid-October. The enemies involved in the attack will reach 80,000, as well as more than 2,000 artillery pieces, about 300 tanks and thousands of aircraft..."

"My God," Cuikov said in surprise after hearing what Krelov said: "If the German army really attacked the Derzhinsky factory on such a scale, we would not be able to defend it at all." He paused for a moment and then asked, "Where did this information come from? Is it reliable?"

"The telegram was sent from the radio station used by Lieutenant Colonel Sokov." Krelov looked at the code in the lower left corner of the telegram, "but the sender claimed to be Lisa, a scout at the reconnaissance department."

"Contact with the reconnaissance department immediately." Cui Kev realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly ordered Krelov: "Find out if there is such a scout."

"Yelina," Krelov said to Yelena, a female communication soldier sitting not far away: "Check me the reconnaissance department, find their director, and say I have something to look for him."

Ye Liena agreed, picked up the phone on the table, and began to contact the reconnaissance department. She didn't have much time, so she handed the microphone to Krelov and said in a hoarse voice: "Comrade Chief of Staff, Chief of Reconnaissance Department is online."

Krelov took the microphone and asked straight to the point: "Comrade Director, I'll ask you, is there a scout named Lisa in your department?"

"Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff." The director heard that it was Krelov's voice and quickly replied respectfully: "She was ordered to go to the enemy's back to collect intelligence, but she has been missing from us for four or five days. Why, do you have any news about her?"

"We just received a telegram, which was sent by this Lisa," Krelov said to the microphone. "Since the contents of this telegram are important, I must first call you to confirm whether there is such a person in the reconnaissance department?"

"Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff." When he learned that his subordinates had obtained an extremely important piece of information, the chief of the reconnaissance did not dare to neglect, he quickly gave Krelov a positive answer: "There is indeed such a female scout in our department."

"I understand." Krelov hung up the phone, nodded at Cui Kev and said, "Comrade Commander, it has been verified that there is indeed such a female scout in the Reconnaissance Department, but it has been four or five days since he lost contact with the Reconnaissance Department."

"Have you been missing for four or five days?" Cuikov couldn't help frowning when he heard Krelov say this: "Chief of Staff, have you ever thought that the female scout and the reconnaissance department had been missing for so long, and whether something special happened?"

"What's special?" Krelov was stunned at first, and then he understood what Cui Kev meant: "Comrade Commander, what do you mean is that this female scout may be captured by the German army, and then she provides us with this fake information?"

"Yes, that's how I thought about it." Cuikov nodded, agreeing with Krelov's statement, and emphasized: "We cannot believe such a major matter just by a telegram. I feel it is necessary to verify further."

Just when Krelov was in a dilemma, he heard Cuikov continue, "Chief of Staff, immediately send a newspaper to Lieutenant Colonel Sokov and ask him to send someone to send this female scout to the headquarters. I want to know the source of this information from her in person."

After Krelov gave the radio operator the order to send a message, he asked Cui Kefu curiously: "Comrade Commander, what should we do if the information she provided is true?"

"If it is true, then this information is related to the life and death of Stalingrad. We must report to the Front Command and the Supreme Command immediately." Cuikov said with a solemn expression: "Let the superiors formulate countermeasures to crush the German conspiracy to seize Stalingrad."

The telegram sent from the Army Command soon came to Sokov. After reading the telegram, he said to Lisa who had just walked over: "Comrade Lisa, according to the order of his superiors, you must send you to the Army Command immediately. How about it, you have no problem, right?"

"No problem." Lisa shook her head vigorously and looked at Sokov and said, "Comrade Commander, I obey your arrangement."

"Major Tenev," Lisa had no objection to her arrangement, and Sokov shouted to Major Tenev not far away: "Please come to me."

When Tenev heard Sokov's shout, he immediately jogged along the trench. He came to Sokov's face, straightened his body and asked, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, do you have any instructions?"

Sokov pointed to Lisa with his hand and said to Tenev: "Comrade Major, I have just received a telegram from the Army Command, ordering us to send Comrade Lisa to the Command. You can immediately draw two soldiers and escort Lisa back to the Command."

"I understand, lieutenant colonel." Tnev glanced at Lisa standing beside him and replied loudly, "I will send someone to send her to the headquarters safely." After that, he quickly walked to Lisa's side and said with a smile, "Comrade Lisa, please follow me, I will send someone to send you back to the headquarters."

Watching Tenev take Lisa away, Guchakov, who was working as a guard, walked to Sokov and said in an admirable tone: "Comrade Brigade Commander, you are still considerate. When the convoy just arrived, Major Tenev wanted the convoy to return immediately, but you stopped him. Unexpectedly, it would be used so quickly."
