Also involved in the operation was Second Lieutenant Samoilov, the third platoon commander of the guard company. The reason for bringing him along was in the hope that Samoilov could use his expertise in the search for Maria Vedenyeva.
, after all, if people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs want to find a person whose whereabouts are unknown, no one would dare to say they are first.
The soldier driving the armored vehicle is named Vamko, who comes from the guard company. Not only does he have skilled driving skills, he is also an excellent machine gun shooter. If he encounters any danger, he can use the machine gun on the armored vehicle to effectively attack the enemy.
Suppress and protect everyone from danger.
After leaving Mamayev Hill, the armored vehicle drove forward along the road. Although they encountered several patrol teams and two or three checkpoints on the road, the Germans saw it was a German armored vehicle and thought they were
No matter what task they were performing, they were not given any embarrassment and were allowed to go directly.
Before setting off, Christopher was worried about how he would deal with German patrols and checkpoints along the way. Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly this time, and his heart in his throat returned to his stomach again.
He turned his face sideways and said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigadier, we are going very smoothly today. It seems that it should not be difficult to complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors!"
Sokov just snorted softly after hearing this, and then said: "Christopher, do you know where the person we are looking for is?"
Christopher's smile froze on his face, he shook his head and said, "Not sure."
Sokov had already guessed that Christopher would answer this way, so he turned to ask Samoylov who was standing aside: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, where do you think the person we are looking for is?"
Samoilov was silent for a long time, and then replied: "Comrade Brigadier, I think about it this way. If the person we are looking for is not captured by the Germans, then she must be hiding in some collective farm nearby."
I know that today’s farms are almost exclusively occupied by women, so if she hides, the Germans won’t be able to find her.”
After Sokov waited for Samoilov to finish speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "Not only can the enemy not find her, we can't find her either. You know, this intelligence may be about the strength of the German army attacking Stalingrad."
Deployment map, we must find her before the German attack starts and send the intelligence back to the headquarters, otherwise everything will be over."
Christopher spread a map on his lap, illuminated it with a flashlight, and said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigadier, let's drive about three or four kilometers further. There is a gardening farm there. I think we can
You can stay there and inquire about the whereabouts of the female scout."
Although Sokov knew in his heart that this approach was like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, but in the situation in front of him, he could only try his luck. So he nodded and said: "Okay, our
The first stop is this gardening farm.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the armored vehicle that was speeding suddenly stopped. Everyone was caught off guard and bumped into each other. Sokov was wearing a steel helmet on his head and hit the steel plate of the car body so hard that stars appeared in his eyes. He
After enduring the pain, he sat upright and asked Vamko who was driving: "Vamko, what's going on? Why did you stop suddenly?"
"Comrade Brigadier." Vamko turned to look at Sokov and said innocently: "Two three-wheeled motorcycles came towards us and blocked our way. They seemed to be preparing to inspect us."
When Sokov heard what Vamko said, he quickly looked forward through the open lookout, and sure enough he saw two motorcycles parked on the road ahead, with their bright headlights shining directly on them, making people's eyes dazzle.
it took.
"Comrade Brigadier," Ernst saw this situation and said to Sokov quickly: "I'll get out of the car and ask what's going on." After receiving Sokov's permission, he opened the door and got out.
car.
After seeing Ernst get out of the car, Sokov stood beside the car without moving, and quickly said to Samoilov and Kristoff, who were still sitting still, "What are you two still doing?
Can a captain not be accompanied by two soldiers?"
Sokov's words made the two of them understand, and they quickly got out of the car and stood upright behind Ernst. Seeing that Christopher and the others also got out of the car, Ernst strode forward.
He came to two motorcycles and asked the soldiers standing in front of the vehicles: "Which unit are you from, and why are you blocking our way?"
"We are a patrol." Although the other party was a corporal, he was not affected by the fact that Ernst's military rank was higher than his own. Instead, he asked businesslikely: "Mr. Captain, which section are you in and where are you going?"
?”
"We are from the 295th Infantry Division and were ordered to perform a secret mission." Ernst said coldly: "As for what the mission is, Corporal, you are not qualified to know at your level."
"Your ID!" The corporal stretched out his hand towards Ernst: "Mr. Captain, I want to check your ID!"
Fortunately, before departure, the Army Headquarters sent several forged documents just to cope with such unexpected inspections. Ernst took out his own documents and handed them to the corporal who wanted to do business. The corporal used the
Using the illumination of a flashlight, I carefully checked Ernst's ID, and looked up at Ernst from time to time to confirm whether the photo on the ID was of him or not.
Sokov, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he saw this situation. He was worried that the German corporal would recognize this as a fake document, so he opened the safety of the assault rifle and secretly put the muzzle of the gun
Aiming at the German corporal, if the opponent wanted to attack, he was confident that he would send the opponent to see God within a second.
However, the development of the matter was not as serious as Sokov feared. After checking Ernst's ID, the German corporal confirmed that there was no problem, returned the ID to Ernst, and said: "Mr. Captain, we are
There is a Russian scout tracking nearby. She may be armed, so be careful."
"Don't worry, Corporal." Ernst put the ID in his pocket and said to the German Corporal with a smile: "We will be careful."
The German corporal nodded, saluted Ernst, and left on his motorcycle with his men.
After everyone returned to the car, Ernst told Sokov excitedly: "Comrade Brigadier, the corporal just said that they are searching for a scout nearby. I think he is the person we are looking for."
When he learned that the scout he was looking for was nearby, Sokov breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: It seems that our assumption is correct. The female scout should be hiding nearby. What we need to do now
The only thing is to find her before the enemy and send the top-secret document back to the army headquarters.
