"Major Sokov," Gerchkov asked tentatively, "You have roughly understood the reason why you return to Moscow. I want to ask, what do you think we should do to eliminate the German agents who sneaked into Moscow in the shortest time?"

Sokov looked at Gerchkov and asked slowly: "Comrade Major, I have a few questions to ask you before answering your question."

"Please ask."

"How many German agents sneaking into Moscow and what kind of weapons are they equipped with?" Sokov asked without hesitation: "Where could their hiding place be?"

"According to the results of our survey site, there were about eight to ten German agents attacking the convoy, one of which should be a sniper equipped with German weapons." Gerchkov replied: "We cannot lock their hiding place yet."

"Since you don't know the possible hiding place for German agents, have you taken any measures to find the enemy's hiding place?"

"We have arranged personnel to investigate near the attack site." Gerchkov said with an awkward expression: "But the inspection area is too large and the personnel are limited, so we have no clues so far."

After Sokov finished speaking, he did not express his opinion on what he said, but looked around and said, "Comrade Major, can you gather all the people in the task force? I want to hear everyone's opinions, and maybe I can find clues from it."

Gerchkov cast his inquiring eyes at Romanchenko, as if asking whether all the members of the task force should be gathered.

"I think Major Sokov is right." Romanchenko agreed with Sokov's statement: "The people in the task force should be gathered together. First, let everyone meet with Major Sokov, and second, analyze the case again to see if you can find useful clues. I looked to the conference room on the first floor, and I would also go over to listen."

A quarter of an hour later, everyone from the task force came to the conference room on the first floor.

Lieutenant Alina and Regalin whispered, and walked into the conference room from outside.

When the two saw Sokov sitting next to Romanchenko, they were stunned, but soon there was a look of joy on their faces.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Romanchenko spoke, "Comrades, let me introduce you to Major Sokov from the 16th Army. He is helping us clear the German agents who sneaked into Moscow. Everyone applauded and welcomed me!"

Amid the applause, Sokov stood up and saluted everyone in the task force.

"Hello, comrades! I am Major Sokov from the 16th Army." After the applause stopped, Sokov said to everyone: "The superior sent me to assist you in solving the case, which made me very frightened. You know, I am a soldier, and I am somewhat good at commanding troops to fight the enemy. But I am a complete layman in criminal investigation. I hope that everyone can give us more guidance in the coming days."

"Major Sokov, you are so humble." After saying this to Sokov, Romanchenko next to him said to the members of the task force, he said: "I'm summoning you here today because Major Sokov wants to learn more about this case. Who will introduce the case?"

Hearing Romachenko say this, a lieutenant immediately stood up and introduced the attack to Sokov.

Sokov listened carefully for a while and found that what he said was basically exactly the same as what Gerchkov said, without any novelty, and could not find much useful information from it. After he finished speaking, he asked, "Comrade Lieutenant, I have heard what you said long ago, and there is not much useful information."

The lieutenant looked at Sokov and asked blankly: "Comrade Major, what do you want to hear?"

"Details." Sokov looked at the other party and said without backing: "I hope to know the complete process of the attack, and it is best to tell the details in detail."

The lieutenant turned his head and looked at Gerchkov. He wanted to figure out why the new major was not satisfied with the information used by the task force to report to his superiors.

Sokov saw the lieutenant turn his eyes to Gerchkov next to him, and seemed to have not heard what he said at all, and said impatiently: "Comrade Lieutenant, I'll tell me the detailed process of the convoy's attack. What are you doing when you keep staring at Major Gerchkov?"

Gerchkov's mouth twitched and said to the police lieutenant: "Comrade Lieutenant, report to Major Sokov on the process of our restoration."

After obtaining Gerchkov's permission, the police lieutenant told Sokov in detail about the attack restored by the task force.

After hearing this, Sokov thought quickly for a while, and then began the questioning session: "According to the results of your on-site investigation, did the enemy first rush out a truck when the convoy passed by their ambush site, knocking over the open-circuit vehicle, blocking the convoy's road ahead before launching the attack?"

"Yes, comrade Major." The police lieutenant nodded and said in a positive tone: "This is the attack process we infer based on the results of the on-site survey."

"Since the enemy can attack the convoy with such precision, it means that they have an inside line and can know the whereabouts of the convoy, so that they can formulate targeted attack plans."

"You are right, Major Sokov." Gerchkov said with a wry smile: "We think so too, but who is the German insider and where should we check it. So far, we have not obtained any useful clues."

"Comrade Major, I remember you just told me that you arranged a manpower and conducted an investigation into the street where the attack occurred. I was not wrong, right?"

"Yes, I did say this. But we have too few people. Although we have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, we have not gained anything."

Sokov sneered and then asked back: "Comrade Major, I'll ask you, if you were the captain of this squad of agents, after completing the attack, would you stay where you are waiting for your enemies to capture you?"

Sokov thought he had said everything he had understood, but after hearing this, Gerchkov asked blankly: "Major Sokov, I don't quite understand what you said. Can you explain it in detail?"

"What I mean is that your approach is wrong now." Sokov pointed out bluntly: "You have wasted a lot of time and manpower in the wrong direction, which is not helpful in solving the case."

"What should we do?" Gerchkov asked back with a bitter face: "There is now evacuation in Moscow city, which is very messy. According to our judgment, it is entirely possible that these agents will hide in those empty houses to avoid our arrest."

"You are doing useless work," Sokov said. "Stop the investigation immediately and concentrate on dealing with new actions that German agents may take."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Comrade Major, what do you think is the purpose of German agents sneaking into Moscow?" Sokov did not immediately answer the other party's question, but asked back: "Is it just to assassinate a few of our military experts?"

"I think their goal should not be to assassinate military experts." Gerchkov said carefully: "Maybe their purpose of sneaking into Moscow is to attack Comrade Stalin. If we do not eradicate them as soon as possible, Comrade Stalin's personal safety will be threatened."

"Comrade Major, you are right. The main goal of these German agents who sneaked into Moscow should be the Supreme Commander himself." Sokov reminded Gerchkov: "Therefore, our current mission is not to search for traces of German agents in the wrong location, but to concentrate our efforts to protect the safety of the Supreme Commander himself."

"What should we do?" Gerchkov asked the question again.

"Based on the intelligence we have, the weapons used by German agents are all German weapons." Sokov told Gerchkov's analysis: "In that attack, their ammunition must have been consumed a lot. Am I right?"

Gerchkov thought for a while and nodded in recognition of Sokov's speculation: "Yes, when the patrol team encountered German agents during the day, the enemy's firepower was obviously weakened a lot. Does this mean that their ammunition was almost exhausted?"

"The Germans used bullets, 7.92mm and 9mm," Sokov continued: "It is difficult to replenish these two bullets after they are consumed in large quantities. Therefore, if they want to continue to carry out their mission, they will definitely replace their guns. In this way, if they want to get ammunition, they may only have to use their support in the arsenal."

"You mean, the German inner escort is in the arsenal?" Hearing Sokov said this, Gerchkov's face showed a surprise expression: "As long as we find the German inner escort."

Gerchkov's mouth twitched and said to the police lieutenant: "Comrade Lieutenant, report to Major Sokov on the process of our restoration."

After obtaining Gerchkov's permission, the police lieutenant told Sokov in detail about the attack restored by the task force.

After hearing this, Sokov thought quickly for a while, and then began the questioning session: "According to the results of your on-site investigation, did the enemy first rush out a truck when the convoy passed by their ambush site, knocking over the open-circuit vehicle, blocking the convoy's road ahead before launching the attack?"
