"Oh, it seems that he is lucky. He can still be unharmed when he goes to the enemy's back to perform such a dangerous mission." Zhukov said: "I heard you plan to award him a medal. Is that true?"
"That's right, after research, we feel that Lieutenant Regalin's performance can be awarded him a medal." When Rokosovsky said this, he looked at Lobachev who was sitting next to him: "The awarding of the medal will be done by my military commissioner Comrade Lobachev."
"When are you going to award him a medal?"
"You can set out after a little preparation."
Zhukov thought for a moment, then said, "Koschika, after your military commissioner went to the infantry brigade to award merit, remember to bring this Lieutenant Regalin back and arrange for someone to come to me."
"Ah, send him to you?" Rokosovsky asked in shock, "Why?"
Hearing Rokosovsky's question, Zhukov was silent for a moment, and then said, "Koschika, I think you should know that Moscow City is not peaceful recently, right?"
Rokosovsky misunderstood Zhukov's meaning and thought that the other party was saying that the city of Moscow was evacuating recently, so the situation seemed a little chaotic, so he agreed: "Yes, no one expected that the enemy would really approach Moscow, so the city had to rush to evacuate at such a time. I think, I'm afraid that the order in the city will be restored after a while."
Zhukov was stunned after hearing this and asked back, "Koschika, why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Rokosovsky was also stunned and defended himself: "Didn't you just say that Moscow City has not been peaceful recently? Isn't all this caused by the enemy approaching the city and the force of us to organize an emergency evacuation?"
"Of course not." Zhukov said: "It is inevitable that some chaos will occur in emergency evacuation. But what I am talking about?"
"What's that?"
“As far as I know, the Germans sent a contingent to mingle in Moscow city and attacked and killed a group of military experts outside the Kremlin’s walls.”
"What, what did you say?" Rokosovsky widened his eyes in surprise after hearing Zhukov's words: "Are you saying true?"
"Of course it's true." Zhukov, as the commander of the Front Army, naturally knew that Romanchenko, the director of the General Police Bureau, had drawn effective personnel from the police detachment sent to the 16th Army to return to Moscow to assist relevant personnel in solving the case. He said to Rokosovsky: "Do you remember that Romanchenko had drawn personnel from the police detachment sent to you to return to Moscow?"
"Yes, that's true." Rokosovsky was also a smart man. He guessed the truth from Zhukov's words: "No wonder Romanchenko said that he wanted to draw some capable personnel back to Moscow, because it turned out to solve the case."
"If that Lieutenant Regalin is really as powerful as Major Sokov said, it is very necessary to let him go to Moscow and participate in the operation against German agents." Zhukov was very afraid that Rokosovsky would not agree with his proposal, and he emphasized specifically: "I admit that letting him stay on the front line can create more merits. But compared with the security of the Kremlin, he should return to Moscow."
Rokosovsky also understood the importance of the Kremlin. As soon as Zhukov finished speaking, he immediately expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, I will definitely ask the military committee members to bring him back. When he comes to the Army Command, I will send someone to you immediately."
"Wait a minute, Koschika." But Zhukov rejected Rokosovsky's proposal: "The Front Command is preparing for the transfer. When you bring people back to the Army Command, I don't know where to transfer."
"What should I do?" Rokosovsky asked Zhukov for advice: "Do you send the person directly to Moscow?"
Zhukov held the microphone and thought for a while, and then said, "No. If you send someone directly to Moscow, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. So, please ask Comrade Lobachev to bring Lieutenant Regalin back as soon as possible, and I will arrange for someone to come to your place to pick him up."
"Okay, that's it."
Rokosovsky put down his microphone and said to Lobachev with a serious expression: "Military Commissioner, we originally planned to go to the infantry brigade tomorrow to award medals to the heroes who went deep into the enemy's backbone, but now the situation has changed. You need to go to the infantry brigade immediately."
Before Lobachev finished speaking, Malining came over and asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, what happened?"
"Something happened in Moscow." Rokosovsky brought Malining and Lobachev together and whispered to them: "Not long ago, a German contingent attacked a convoy transporting military experts outside the Kremlin's palace walls at night, killing all military experts and guards escorting them. Now, elite soldiers and powerful generals are organizing in Moscow, intending to crack this case in the shortest time and eliminate the enemies that infiltrated the city."
When Malining heard this, he immediately drew Romanchenko from the police detachment to Moscow and cleverly contacted: "Comrade Commander, if I guess correctly, General Romanchenko drew men from the police detachment that had just arrived here to return to Moscow in order to quickly eliminate these enemies?"
"Well, that's it." Rokosovsky nodded and recognized his speculation, turned to Lobachev and said, "According to Zhukov's order, he asked you to go to the infantry brigade to be awarded as soon as possible, and bring back the Lieutenant Regalin. He will send someone to pick up Lieutenant Regalin."
"Comrade Commander, I can send him to the Front Command in person, so I don't need Zhukov to send someone to pick him up." Lobachev reminded Rokosovsky: "You call him now so that he doesn't need to send someone."
"Comrade Military Commissioner, you may not know yet. The German army broke through the defense line of the 5th Army and approached Mozaisk, where the Front Command is located." Rokosovsky explained to Lobachev and others: "Zhukov's headquarters is preparing for transfer. When you bring people back from the infantry brigade, the Front Command has long been unknown where to transfer them. How can you send people to Zhukov?"
"What should I do?" Lobachev asked Rokosovsky for advice.
"Take the person back to the Army Headquarters first, and Zhukov will send someone here to pick him up."
...
An hour later, Lobachev, who brought several staff officers and guards, appeared in Sokov's command center.
The award ceremony was very simple and it ended in just a few minutes.
After the award was completed, Lobachev said to Sokov: "Major Sokov, let your subordinates go out first. I have important things to tell you."
After hearing what Lobachev said, everyone, including Belkin and Karsokov, consciously withdrew from the tent.
When only Lobachev and Sokov were left in the tent, Lobachev said, "Major Sokov, according to the order of my superiors, after I complete the award, that Lieutenant Regalin will return to the Army Command with me."
For Sokov, Regalin was a rare talent. At this moment, when he heard Lobachev say he wanted to transfer him, he was naturally dissatisfied: "Why?"
Before coming here, Lobachev had privately communicated with Rokosovsky about whether he should explain what happened in Moscow to Sokov.
After some discussion, Rokosovsky felt that he should tell the truth to Sokov so that the other party would not have misunderstandings and would have resistance in the next work.
It was precisely because of the agreement with Rokosovsky that Lobachev said with confidence: "Major Sokov, a German contingent, mingled into Moscow city, and used the cover of night to create an attack outside the Kremlin's palace walls, killing many military experts and guards who defended them. Considering that Lieutenant Regalin's outstanding ability, his superiors planned to draw him back to Moscow to assist relevant departments in eliminating the German contingent."
After saying this in one breath, Lobachev looked at Sokov's face to see how he reacted.
Sokov felt uncomfortable when he learned that Regalin was going to be transferred, but considering that the superiors had an important task to transfer Regalin back to Moscow, he could not change all of this and could only obey this order unconditionally. However, he asked unwillingly: "Comrade Military Commissioner, I want to ask, can Lieutenant Regalin return to my troops after completing his mission?"
"This is hard to say." Lobachev said thoughtfully: "If he could complete this mission smoothly, I think Comrade Belia might have organized him into the internal affairs. In this way, his chances of returning to the front line will be very low."
"So that's the case." Sokov nodded and continued to ask, "When will you set out?"
Lobachev raised his hand and looked at his watch, saying, "In five minutes, we will set out. You can explain to Lieutenant Regalin for a few words."
Sokov nodded and turned around and walked out of the tent.
Berkin, Karsokov and others were standing ten or twenty meters away from the tent, so that they could not hear the conversation in the tent, and whenever Sokov shouted, they could also rush over in time.
Seeing Sokov coming out of the tent, Berkin and Karsokov hurriedly came up and asked with concern: "Comrade Brigade Commander, have you finished the talk?"
"It's over." Sokov nodded, glanced around, and immediately waved to him after seeing Regalin's figure: "Lt. Regalin, come here."
A few meters away, Regalin, who was talking to Zariyakin, heard Sokov calling himself, and rushed over and asked respectfully: "Comrade Brigade Commander, what instructions do you have?"
Sokov pointed his hand at Lobachev who had just passed out of the tent and said to Regalin: "Lieutenant Regalin, follow the military commissioner to the Army Command. The superiors have more important tasks to hand over to you."
Regalin looked at Sokov with confusion, his lips moved, as if he wanted to ask why he suddenly transferred himself to the Army Command, but when he spoke, it turned into something else: "Yes, Comrade Brigade Commander! I firmly obey your order!"
Seeing that Sokov had finished his explanation, Lobachev walked to Rhegalin and said to him: "Comrade Lieutenant, it's getting late, let's go with me."
After Lobachev's convoy left, those who stood at the door of the tent dispersed one after another.
As soon as Belkin and Karsokov returned to the tent, they couldn't wait to ask Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, what's going on? Why did Lieutenant Regalin be transferred?"
When Lobachev just explained the truth to Sokov, although he did not remind Sokov not to spread it. However, Sokov came to this era on the first day and naturally understood the principle of confidentiality. Since Lobachev asked everyone to leave the tent before talking to him, it means that this matter is top secret and cannot be told to anyone at all.
Therefore, in response to the inquiry between Belkin and Karsokov, he said with a bitter face: "The deputy brigade commander, chief of staff, and military commissioner just said that Lieutenant Regalin was transferred to the Army Command to carry out a secret mission. What is the specific content? Because it involves the confidentiality regulations, I cannot tell you."
After hearing Sokov said this, Belkin and Karsokov were not good to continue asking questions. After all, some secrets are not something that people of their own level can know.
Karsokov said with confusion: "It's a pity that we finally found that such a capable person was transferred away by his superiors."
"Comrade Chief of Staff, don't be discouraged." Sokov comforted Karsokov and said: "There are more than 4,000 people in the brigade. If we look carefully, we may find some capable people. Even if their abilities cannot be compared with Lieutenant Regalin, they are definitely stronger than ordinary soldiers."
"Then how should we choose these capable people?" Belkin interjected.
Sokov had no good idea for how to select capable commanders and fighters in the army. He scratched his head and then said, "I see if I have time tomorrow, I will call up commanders above the company level to hold a meeting, so that everyone can express their opinions and see if there is any way to select outstanding talents from the army."
After hearing Sokov's words, Belkin's eyes suddenly shone: "Comrade Brigade Commander, you're right. There are thousands of people in the brigade. It's probably not easy to pick out capable people from them. But if the company commander is allowed to do this, it will be relatively simple."
Sokov chatted for a few more times, then turned around and walked out of the tent.
Seeing Sokov leaving, Berkin couldn't help but ask behind him: "Comrade Brigade Commander, where are you going?"
"I'll go to the field hospital to see what the wounded are doing."
After Sokov left, Karsokov lowered his voice and said to Belkin: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Commander, do you think the brigade commander will fall in love with the female military doctor from Moscow?"
"No, Comrade Chief of Staff." Berkin said: "It's all right. The female military doctor from Moscow has arrived at the brigade's headquarters. It's not been 24 hours yet. Why do you think the brigade commander will like the other party?"
