Sokov never dreamed that the dying gangsters would actually throw a grenade in.
In the flash of lightning, Sokov jumped towards the grenade on the ground. When he grabbed the grenade, he did not directly press it with his body like in the movie. In such a narrow space,
The power generated when the grenade explodes will increase the cost. Not only will it cost his own life, but Agelina not far away is also in danger of being injured. So after grabbing the grenade, he turned over, raised his hand, and threw it out of the window.
There was a loud "boom" and the grenade exploded outside the window, making Sokov's ears buzz.
"Misha," Agelina stared at Sokov lying in the middle of the box with some confusion, and asked in confusion: "Why are you lying there?"
From the moment the grenade was discovered to the moment it was thrown out of the window and exploded, it only took two or three seconds, so that Agelina, who was lying not far away, didn't know what had happened. Sokov crawled to Agelina's side.
He asked softly: "The Germans just threw a grenade in. I have already thrown it out. Are you not injured?"
After hearing what Sokov said, Agelina said belatedly: "Ah, grenade? Misha, you are not injured, are you?"
Sokov shook his head and said angrily: "I am not injured."
Then he reached out and grabbed the assault rifle lying on the ground by the window, stood up suddenly, stood in front of the window and pulled the trigger facing the dead and injured gangsters outside the window. In this way, he wanted to vent his dissatisfaction.
After firing a magazine, he immediately retracted his body and replaced it with a new magazine, intending to teach them a lesson once more reckless gangsters approached.
But Sokov's actions not long ago frightened the remaining gangsters. They did not expect that as soon as a dozen of their companions approached the train, they were beaten to death and injured by intensive bullets.
I guessed that there might be a machine gun deployed there, so when I attacked the train, I deliberately avoided that area to avoid making the same mistake as my companions.
The battle continued, but most of the gangsters who attacked the train avoided the carriage where Sokov was located. Therefore, although he stood up and fired two magazines, the number of gangsters who fell under his gun was
Very few.
At this moment, there was an explosion in the distance, and a column of mud and snow rose into the sky.
Seeing this, Sokov felt a little confused: What was going on? Did the gangsters step on a landmine?
But a closer look revealed that there were no gangsters near the explosion point, indicating that the explosion was not caused by someone stepping on a landmine.
At this moment, two more explosions occurred. This time it exploded in the middle of the gangsters, immediately cutting down a piece of the gangsters near the explosion point.
"It was a mortar attack." Sokov is also a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles. Seeing the location of the second explosion point, he quickly judged that the gangsters did not set foot on the ground near the railway.
Mines were instead fired by mortars, and those who fired at them were probably Soviet troops who came to the rescue. The reason why he could make this judgment was because if the gang had mortars, they would have just fired
They would directly bombard the train instead of sending bombardiers to risk approaching the train to throw incendiary bombs.
Soon, he saw countless black spots appearing in the snow in the direction of the front of the car. He could also vaguely hear the sound of "Ula" covered by the gunshots. This showed that his judgment was correct. The police stationed at the nearby station
Soviet troops came to the rescue.
"Comrade General, Comrade General!" Torba's voice came from the corridor at this time. Sokov was worried that the other party would break in. If he was seen by the gangsters hiding outside, he might make a cold shot, which might endanger him.
Threatened to his death, he quickly walked to the door, opened the box door, came to the corridor, and asked Torba, who was yelling: "Comrade Sergeant, what's the matter?"
"Comrade General!" Torba came to Sokov, stood at attention, and reported to him: "Our reinforcements have arrived, and they are attacking the enemy."
"I saw it." Sokov nodded and then asked: "How many reinforcements are there and who is their commander?"
Sokov's question stopped Torba. He scratched the back of his head and said with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Comrade General, the commander of the reinforcements hasn't arrived on the train yet. I don't know how many of them there are at the moment. Commander
Who is it again?"
"Oh, that's it." Sokov knew that he couldn't get the answer he wanted from Torba for the time being, so he said to him: "Torba, you go back first. Wait for the commander of the reinforcements to get in the car.
After that, bring him over to see me."
"Okay, Comrade General." Torba replied: "As soon as the commander of the reinforcements arrives, I will go to him to see you immediately."
Just as Torba turned to leave, Sokov suddenly remembered something. The glass of his box had been beaten to pieces, and now the cold wind was blowing into it. He would definitely get cold if he stayed in it for a long time.
So he asked Torba: "Torba, go back and ask the train conductor if he can help me change my compartment. The window glass of our compartment has been broken by the gangsters' bullets."
Faced with Sokov's request, Torba naturally would not refuse. He nodded and said: "Comrade General, I will convey your words to the train conductor."
When Sokov returned to the box, he found Agelina sitting on the berth wrapped in a quilt. He was somewhat surprised and asked: "Agelina, why are you up?"
"I heard that reinforcements were coming and the gangsters were retreating," Agelina said. "I thought there was no danger, so I got up."
Sokov did not speak, but quickly rushed to the window, looked out of the window, and found that the gangsters who originally attacked the train were now being driven away by the Soviet troops and fled towards the distance. Looking at
The gangsters left, and Sokov felt much more at ease. However, he felt that the box without the window was definitely not suitable for staying any longer, so he sat opposite Agelina and said to her: "Agelina,
The window glass of our compartment has been broken, and I’m afraid we can’t continue to live in it. I’ve asked Sergeant Torba to contact the conductor and ask him to change our compartment to a new one.”
"That's a good feeling." Agelina, who was wrapped in a quilt, didn't know whether it was fear or because the box was as cold as a big ice cellar. Her body was shivering. "It's best to change boxes as soon as possible. I'm freezing.
No more."
Ten minutes later, just when Sokov felt cold all over, the conductor finally appeared at the door: "Comrade General, I have prepared a new box for you. Please come with me."
Sokov helped Agelina stand up and walked outside.
When he came to the corridor, he saw Torba and two soldiers standing at the door of the next box. He thought this was the new box the conductor had prepared for him, and specifically asked: "Comrade conductor, this is the box you have prepared for us."
A new box for you?”
"No, Comrade General." Unexpectedly, the train conductor shook his head and said, "The box prepared for you is in the front car. The environment may not be comparable to the box you have now. Please forgive me."
Sokov stared at the door of the box next to him and asked the conductor with some curiosity: "Comrade conductor, I am very curious, why don't you arrange for us to stay in the box next door? Is there anyone living in it?"
"How should I put it, Comrade General." The conductor replied with an embarrassed look on his face: "There are indeed two people living in the box next to your box. They are the heads of the Soviets from a certain district in Moscow. They are going to Berlin.
doing something."
Knowing that the people in the box were officials from Moscow, Sokov felt that the conductor was right to arrange him into other cars. He couldn't just kick out the people inside just because he wanted to change boxes. Who knew he would
He had just taken two steps when the train conductor's next words made him stagger. "During the gangsters' attack on the train, the two officials in this compartment were unfortunately killed by the gangsters' bullets.
"
The new box space is very narrow, with the beds on both sides less than one meter apart. If someone comes in from the outside when you get up to go out, both parties have to turn sideways to pass.
The conductor said to Sokov apologetically: "Comrade General, this is the only box I can spare. The environment is a bit rough. I hope you don't mind."
"Thank you, Comrade conductor." Although the compartment was small, at least there was no need to blow cold wind. Sokov still expressed his gratitude to the conductor.
After seeing Torba following behind the conductor and preparing to leave, Sokov stopped him again and said to him: "Sergeant Torba, please send someone to carry the ammunition box in my box."
"Okay, Comrade General." Torba nodded vigorously and agreed: "I will send someone to bring the ammunition box to you right away."
"Misha," Agelina asked nervously after the box door closed, "who do you think the two officials were who were killed by gangsters in the box next to ours?"
"I don't know." When Sokov got on the train, he didn't even notice if there was anyone in the compartment next door. When Agelina said this, he shook his head and said, "If the train conductor hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known we were there.
There are people living next door.”
"Did you say the people inside were really beaten to death by gangsters?"
"I think it should be true." Sokov nodded and said, "You may not have noticed that the carriage where our box is located is a key target of gangsters' attacks. They may think that people who can live in luxury rooms are
They must be very important people, even if they only kill one or two, they can still be considered to have achieved good results."
"They did indeed do it." Agelina said through gritted teeth: "They killed two officials from Moscow. I don't know who they are and what consequences their death will have."
"Agelina, this is not something you and I should care about." Sokov said: "As long as we can reach Berlin safely."
Two hours later, a captain, led by the conductor, came to Sokov's box.
"Hello, Comrade General." The captain raised his hand to salute Sokov, and took the initiative to explain his identity: "I am Captain Menshov. After receiving the telegram that you were attacked, I came over with two companies.
.Due to the deep snow on the road, some time was delayed. Comrade General, are you not injured?"
"No, I'm not injured." Sokov asked: "Where are the gangsters who attacked the train now?"
"We were trapped in a small factory." Captain Menshov replied: "However, because the building where they were hiding was surrounded by open areas, we launched two attacks, but neither of them succeeded."
When he learned that the gangsters were trapped in a small factory, Sokov could no longer sit still. He bent down and grabbed the assault rifle placed beside the bed. He stood up and said to Captain Menshov: "Comrade Captain, take me there."
Take a look there."
When Sokov said he wanted to check out the battle site, Menshov was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Bullets can kill people no matter if you are a general or an ordinary soldier. He said nervously: "Comrade General, it's too dangerous there.
Well, you should stay here and wait for news."
"Comrade Captain," Sokov said to Menshov with a smile: "I have fought in Stalingrad, and today's scene is just child's play to me. Stop inking and take me to see it quickly.
, destroy the enemy as soon as possible, so we can continue on our way."
Seeing Sokov's stubborn attitude, Menshov had no choice but to agree to his request, but he still made his own request: "Comrade General, it's not very safe there. When you get there, you must listen to me."
Command, otherwise I cannot guarantee your safety."
"Let's go, Comrade Captain." Sokov bent down and grabbed a few magazines, inserted them into the belt around his waist, and followed Captain Menshov outside.
After getting off the train, Sokov followed Menshov and several soldiers and walked towards the place where gunshots were heard in the distance.
On the way, I saw the corpses of many gangsters. Most of them were wearing civilian clothes. The only thing the same was that no one was wearing camouflage clothes. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many gangsters becoming Sokov’s targets. Of course, there were also some Su
The corpses of military commanders and soldiers, as well as the wounded, have been sent to the train by health workers for treatment.
The group walked for almost half an hour and finally arrived at the small factory where the gangsters were hiding.
Sokov carefully observed the environment and found that it was a two-story building with a brick-concrete structure. There was no obstruction within a hundred meters of the surrounding area. If the snow was not too deep, the Soviet commanders would only have to attack from several directions at the same time.
If you launch an attack, you have a chance to rush into the building. But now the damn snow has limited the movement speed of the soldiers. Judging from the positions of the remains of the soldiers, they were all killed when they were fifty or sixty meters away from the building.
He fell down after being hit by a gangster's bullet.
"Comrade Captain," Sokov turned to Mensov and asked, "Do you carry any heavy weapons?"
"I only brought two 82mm mortars." Menshov said to Sokov with a grimace: "Mortars are not very effective against this kind of building."
"Are there any friendly forces nearby?" Sokov asked: "Maybe you can ask for help from friendly forces and borrow some heavy weapons from them to deal with the gangsters hiding in the building."
"Friendly troops?!" Mensov's mind began to think quickly, wondering if there were any troops nearby that could be mobilized to help him eliminate the gangsters hiding in the building.
Before he could think of an answer, Sokov asked another question: "Comrade Captain, what kind of factory are the gangsters hiding in?"
