In June in Minsk, after a short training in the 136th Rifle Regiment, he was assigned to the 12th Fighter Detachment to fight banditry in the Minsk Governorate. In November 1921, Shcherbakov was sent to the Gzhat communications courses on the Western Front. In June 1922 these courses were cancelled and he was transferred to the 43rd Infantry Command Course in Polotsk. After three months, however, this course was also disbanded, after which Shcherbakov continued his studies at the 81st Infantry Command Course in Minsk. In September 1923 he graduated and was assigned to the 41st Rifle Regiment of the 14th Rifle Division, stationed first in Moscow, then in Vladimir. In this regiment he was a squad leader, deputy commander and commander of a rifle platoon, commander of a platoon of the regimental school, company commander.

The 612th Rifle Regiment distinguished itself in particular in the fighting from 17 to 19 July 1941 in the Rudno area of Smolensk.

On 2 August 1941 the enemy pushed back parts of the neighbouring division, as a result of which the regiment was surrounded. Between 3 and 5 August 1941, thanks to the skillful and decisive leadership of Major Shcherbakov, he managed to break the encirclement and break through to his troops. For the fighting in the Rudnya-Ploskoye area, major Shcherbakov was drafted by the commander of the 20th Army general-lieutenant P. A.

In early October 1941, as part of the same 20th Army, the division took part in the Viazem Defensive Operation and was surrounded during it. After the army was disbanded in the same month, it became part of the 5th Army and took part in the defensive operations of the Battle of Moscow.
In late December 1941, Major Shcherbakov was hospitalized due to illness; after recovering in February 1942, he was sent to the Central-Asian Military District, where he formed the 236th Cadet Rifle Brigade. However, the formation was not completed, after which he returned to Moscow in early April for disposition to the Central Military District. In late April 1942, he was appointed acting commander of the 22nd Anti-Tank Fighter Brigade of the Stalingrad Military District, and from July1942 took part with it in the fighting on the Stalingrad Front. On 10 September 1942, he was appointed deputy commander of the 147th Rifle Division, which was engaged in heavy defensive fighting on the right bank of the Don River near Surovikino. In the course of these battles, the division was surrounded, suffered heavy losses and was withdrawn to replenish the live force in the Volga Military District. In 1942, half promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In January 1943, the division was sent to the Volkhov Front, where it joined the 2nd Shock Army and took part in the battles to break the blockade of Leningrad (Operation "Iskra"). During its deployment Lieutenant Colonel Shcherbakov temporarily commanded the 15th Rifle Regiment of the same division.
On January 29, 1943, he was wounded in combat and was in the hospital until March 18, 1943; after recovering, he returned to his former position as deputy commander of the division (at that time it was in reserve Volkhov Front). In mid-April, the 147th Rifle Division was moved by rail to the Livny area to the 27th Army.

On 25 August 1943, the division's troops seized the southern part of Akhtyrka, forcibly crossed the Vorskla River and, developing an offensive, captured Budy and Bielsk. By 16 September 1943, the division had reached the Vasilja-Ustimovka line. In early October 1943, Colonel Shcherbakov was appointed acting commander of the 253rd Rifle Division, which, as part of the 40th Army of the same front, fought to extend the bridgehead on the right bank of the Dnieper. From 10 October 1943 he formally commanded the 23rd Rifle Division, but did not actually take command until 28 October 1943. The division was at that time fighting heavy defensive and offensive battles to hold and extend the Dnepr bridgehead. In late October 1943, it was subordinated to the 38th Army and on 6 November 1943 it took part in the liberation of the Ukrainian capital. For her achievements in these battles, she was awarded the name "Kievska". Later, its units successfully operated on the Zhytomyr direction. In the fighting on the outskirts of Zhytomyr Colonel G. F.
