Second Lieutenant Samoilov quickly brought the German radio operator in. To be precise, he was dragged in by two soldiers. When the soldiers placed the bruised radio operator in front of the radio, Sidorin still
He asked a little worriedly: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, he is like this, can he still send a report?"
"Don't worry, Comrade Chief of Staff." Samoylov quickly replied: "His hand is not injured, so there should be no problem in sending the message."
Hearing that the telegraph operator could send the message normally, Sidorin handed over the drafted message and told Samoylov: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, ask him to send this message."
Samoilov took the telegram from Sidorin's hand and slapped it in front of the German telegraph operator, making the other party tremble. He said viciously: "Send this telegram immediately, I warn you."
You, don't play any tricks."
The German radio operator did not speak, but nodded in panic, then lowered his head to read the message in front of him. Sidorin winked at a communications soldier, who immediately came over and sat opposite the German radio operator.
I picked up a pair of headphones and put them on my head, preparing to monitor the other party's transmission to see if he did anything during the transmission.
Sokov stared at the German radio operator who was preparing, and thought to himself: It seems that the interrogation methods of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really well-deserved. Even such well-trained German agents have no choice but to obey. If it were him, maybe he would
After two minutes, I gave up, and then I confessed whatever the other party asked me to.
As an agent, the German radio operator received special training. Not only could he speak fluent Russian, he could also read and read newspapers, let alone a simple message. After reading the content of the message, he immediately put his finger on it
On the electric key, the telegram started beeping.
The telegram was quickly sent. The communications soldier sitting opposite the German telegraph operator took off his earphones and nodded to Sokov, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the telegram just sent.
Now that the telegram has been sent, it is time to wait for the other party's reply. Sokov turned to Belkin and asked: "Comrade Political Commissar, do you have a cigarette?"
"Yes," Belkin took out a pack of confiscated German cigarettes from his pocket and said apologetically to Sokov, "but they only have German cigarettes. I don't know if you are used to them."
The taste of German cigarettes is different from that of Soviet cigarettes. Many people can't get used to it and feel that it smells like horse manure. Even a long-time smoker like Belkin would not smoke German cigarettes if he didn't really have any cigarettes.
Sokov took the cigarette case, walked to the operator, and handed the cigarette over: "Let's have a cigarette!"
When the operator saw Sokov offering him cigarettes, he instinctively wanted to refuse. But when he heard Sokov said they were German cigarettes, he reached out and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and held it in his mouth. Sokov put the cigarette case in his mouth.
Put it aside and light a match to light the operator's cigarette.
After the operator took a puff of cigarette, he looked up at Sokov standing in front of him: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, what are you going to do with me? After receiving the call back, are you going to order me to be dragged out and shot?"
"Don't worry," Sokov raised his hand and patted his shoulder, comforting him and saying, "Since you cooperate with us so much, we will also treat the prisoners preferentially. When everything is over, I will send someone to send you to the prisoner of war camp.
, give a prisoner of war the treatment he deserves. But..."
Sokov only said half of what he said, which aroused the great curiosity of the operator. He asked nervously: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, but what?"
"But if you are willing to surrender to our army, I can not send you to a prisoner of war camp, but stay in my army." After saying this, Sokov shrugged: "You also know that now
During the war, the conditions in prisoner-of-war camps may not be very good, and whether you can survive until the end of the war is unknown."
…………
The German unit responsible for attacking Mamayev Heights is the 295th Infantry Division commanded by Major General Otto Kofis. Kofis is in his headquarters and studying with several of his subordinates how to attack Mamayev Heights.
, suddenly a staff officer hurriedly walked in and handed him a telegram he had just received.
Kofis took the telegram, read the contents clearly, and asked: "Who sent this telegram?"
"It's a special operations team we sent near Mamayev Heights," the staff officer obviously knew a lot of inside information, so he was able to answer Kofis's question: "They gave the Russians a false order and successfully made the people who stayed in Mamayev Hills
The defenders at the southern hillock of Mayev Gang retreated."
After waving the staff to leave, Kofis handed the telegram to the division chief of staff and said at the same time: "Chief of Staff, here is a telegram just sent back by the special operations team. Take a look and share your views."
The division chief of staff took the telegram from Kofis. After reading the contents, he looked at Kofis and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, the Russians have retreated from the southern part of the Mamayev Hills. Do you think this is possible?
?”
Regarding the division chief of staff's question, Kofis said in an uncertain tone: "This special operations team was sent by the Army Headquarters. I believe their report is true. But to be on the safe side, we still send people to verify it."
"Just a moment." After saying that, he ordered a regiment commander sitting at the conference table, "Colonel, I just received a telegram from the special operations team, saying that they were sending a telegram to the Russian troops who were holding the southern post of Mamaev Gang.
people and issued a false withdrawal order. Judging from the messages they sent, the Russians seem to have been fooled and are withdrawing from the Nangang position. Immediately call the forward observation post of your regiment and let them take a look.
Are the Russians retreating?"
"Understood, your Excellency, division commander." The regiment commander who was named by him said respectfully: "I will call the regiment headquarters immediately and ask them to report the situation there."
The German colonel went out to call his regiment headquarters. Less than ten minutes later, he returned to the conference room and reported to Kofis with excitement: "Your Excellency, division commander, good news, good news!"
"What good news?!" Kofis heard the colonel say this, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He asked nervously: "Did the Russians really retreat?"
"Yes, your Excellency, division commander." The colonel nodded and said, "When I called back to the regiment, the regiment chief of staff had just received a report from the forward observation post, saying that the Russians deployed in front of Nangang had withdrawn from their defensive positions.
."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I didn't expect that the Russians really retreated." Seeing that the intelligence sent by the special operations team was confirmed, the division chief of staff said with excitement: "This is a rare and good opportunity. We should send troops immediately.
Go and capture the southern part of Mamayev Hill. In this way, we will divide the Russian garrison in Stalingrad into two parts that are not connected to each other, and we can also launch attacks on the port and the central railway station at any time."
"Yes, your Excellency, division commander, the chief of staff is right." As soon as the colonel and the division chief of staff finished speaking, he immediately asked Ying: "Our regiment is closest to Nangang, please let us occupy it."
Kofis agreed to the colonel's request without hesitation: "Yes, colonel. You immediately send a battalion to occupy the southern hillock of Mamayev Hill and build fortifications on it to prepare for the Russian counterattack.
"
"What, only send one battalion?" Whether it was the division chief of staff or the colonel, when they heard Kofis say this, they couldn't help but be stunned: "Is the strength of one battalion too small?"
"That's quite a lot." Kofis waved his hand and said, "We have more than 800 people in one battalion. As long as they occupy Nangang, even if the Russians send out two regiments, they may not be able to take back the high ground." After finishing speaking,
After these words, he paused for a moment and then ordered the division chief of staff, "Immediately send a report to the special operations team, saying that our army will enter the Nangang position at 11 o'clock tonight, so that they can prepare for the response."
…………
When Sokov saw the reply, he knew that the Germans had taken the bait, so he ordered Samoilov to take the operator down. After giving the telegram to Belkin and Sidorin for circulation, he said: "The Germans will send a battalion
The troops will enter the Nangang position at 11 o'clock tonight. In addition, they also asked the special operations team that we defeated to send someone to meet them."
"Cunning enemy." After seeing the telegram, Sidorin said angrily: "We prepared such a large piece of bait, but they only came with one battalion."
But Belkin was thinking about other issues: "Comrade Chief of Staff, the surface area of Nangang position is limited, and more troops cannot be deployed. One enemy battalion has more than 800 people. Use such a force to occupy the Nangang position.
, is more than enough. Comrade Brigade Commander, what I am worried about now is another problem."
"what is the problem?"
"The enemy asked people from the special operations team to pick them up." Belkin frowned and said, "But we killed five of the seven agents. And the two who were alive, and one of the radio operators, were covered with bruises, and even walking had problems.
, the other one is stubborn and refuses to cooperate with us. Who should we find to pretend to be a special operations team person to lure the Germans into taking the bait?"
"Comrade Commissar," Sokov asked, "do you know where Corporal Ernst is?"
"Corporal Ernst?" When he heard the name, Belkin hesitated for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Are you talking about the German corporal who surrendered to our army?"
"Yes, that's him." Sokov asked again: "Where is he?"
"He is the squad leader of the fourth company of the second battalion of Lieutenant Grisa." After Belkin told Ernst's whereabouts, he said before Sokov could tell him: "I'll call him right now.
"
While Belkin was on the phone, Sokov said to Sidorin: "Chief of Staff, find two more soldiers who speak German well and ask them to act with Ernst. If something unexpected happens, they will
Ernst’s safety must be ensured. Do you understand?”
"Comrade Brigadier, leave this matter to me." Sidorin assured Sokov: "I will not let you down."
