Chapter 381 Searching for the Missing Female Scout (Part 2)
With an armored vehicle on their way, Sokov and the others quickly arrived at a village.
The car stopped at the entrance of the village. After opening the door, Christopher asked Sokov for instructions: "Comrade Brigadier, how should we conduct a search?"
"Use the stupidest method, search from house to house!" Sokov looked at the wooden house with a yard outside the car and ordered decisively: "Start the search from that house."
Except for the driver Vamko, who stayed inside and outside the car, everyone else got out of the car, pushed open the ajar door and walked in. When he came to the door, Sokov winked at Christopher and signaled
He stepped forward and knocked on the door. Christopher nodded with understanding, and then knocked hard on the door with his fist, while shouting loudly in German: "Open the door, open the door!"
Soon, light came out of the window, and then I heard a voice with a hint of panic asking: "Who is it?"
When Christopher heard the sound coming from inside, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and his hand stopped unconsciously. Seeing this, Sokov quickly reminded him in a low voice: "Comrade Lieutenant, don't forget, you are now in Germany."
People, who don’t understand Russian at all, keep knocking on the door.”
The door opened, and a middle-aged woman wearing a nightgown appeared at the door. She was holding a candlestick with two white candles on it. With the light of the candles, she saw four Germans standing at the door and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He asked in a panic: "You... what are you going to do?"
"There is a Russian soldier hiding in the village, we... want to search!" Sokov waited for the woman to finish speaking, then deliberately said in broken Russian: "Yours, get out of the way!"
"I don't have any Russian soldiers at home," the woman replied in a panic, "I live alone."
Sokov ignored him and shook his head at the three people standing aside, gesturing for them to go in and search. Christopher pushed aside the middle-aged woman blocking the door, broke into the house first, and started searching everywhere.
.And Samoylov, who followed closely behind, started searching around the house to see if there were any clues from the moment he entered the door.
Christopher searched back and forth in the room, returned to the door, shook his head at Sokov, saying that he found nothing. For such a result, Sokov had already understood in his heart that if the female scout really hid
Here, I might have jumped through the window from behind and escaped. Will I still be standing here stupidly waiting for you to catch me?
His eyes turned to Samoilov, wanting to see if the other party had any clues. When Sokov saw Samoilov shaking his head at him, he understood that this family had no contact with the female scout at all.
, immediately turned around and left.
As they walked towards another house, Christopher caught up with Sokov and asked in a low voice: "Comrade Brigadier, I think this search is ineffective. Even if our female scout is hiding in it,
A certain family will definitely run outside and hide after hearing the noise we made."
"Lieutenant Kristoff," Sokov replied: "Don't forget, Lieutenant Samoilov used to be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and finding people can be regarded as a professional skill for them. If the female detective
The policeman has really lived in that house, and as long as he goes in and takes a look around, he can find useful clues."
When Christopher heard what Sokov said, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Samoilov behind him, and asked curiously: "Comrade Brigadier, how did he do this?"
"I don't know." Sokov replied simply: "I never asked him."
Then, Sokov and the four of them used this method to alert the snake, and searched four or five families in succession, but still found nothing. Christopher said with some disappointment: "Comrade Brigadier, it seems that the female scout
I have never been to this village."
"Lieutenant Christopher, don't jump to conclusions easily." Sokov slowed down and said to Christopher: "This task given to us by our superiors is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. We can only find people through this stupid method.
."
"But...but," Christopher said hesitantly: "We can identify ourselves, which may help us find the female scout."
"Comrade Lieutenant, tell me, what should we tell the villagers?" Sokov looked at Christopher and said, "Tell them that we are not Germans, but Soviet troops in disguise? Not to mention whether they believe it or not.
, even if you try your best to convince them that we are one of our own, aren't you worried that someone in the village will inform the Germans?"
In this way, they walked from the east to the west of the village and searched more than 40 houses, but still found nothing. Just when Sokov decided to let everyone stop and rest for a while before continuing the search mission, suddenly someone appeared from the shadow on the roadside.
A person rushed out. "Who is it?" Seeing a black figure appear in front of him, Sokov raised his gun and shouted at the same time: "Raise your hands!"
"Don't shoot, don't shoot!" Hearing Sokov's cry, the black figure immediately shouted: "I'm here to help you."
Sokov lowered the muzzle of his gun, and when the man came closer, he opened fire clearly. It turned out to be a bearded man. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Where did you come from? Aren't you worried that my gun will go off?"
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the bearded man actually laughed with him and asked flatteringly: "Your Excellency, I think you must understand Russian, right?"
The bearded man's words aroused Sokov's vigilance. He suddenly remembered that his group was wearing German uniforms, but this man was so flattering to him. Could it be that he knew something inside and planned to tip off the Germans? So he
He said calmly: "Yes, I understand Russian. What's the matter with you?"
Sokov deliberately used wrong grammar and said these words to avoid arousing the slightest suspicion from the other party. But the bearded man did not notice anything strange about Sokov. Instead, he said in a low voice: "I want to report to you that there is someone in the village.
Harboring guerrillas.”
"Guerrillas?" Sokov couldn't help but secretly chuckle, wondering if the guerrillas he mentioned were the female scouts we were looking for? So he quickly approached Ernst's ear and pretended to whisper. What nonsense?
After a few words, he looked at the bearded man and asked: "What is your name? Where are the guerrillas?"
"My name is Eugene." The bearded man replied: "The guerrillas are hiding in the house in front. The owner of the house is called Dworkin, and his two sons are in the army fighting with you."
"Stop talking." When Sokov heard this, he immediately judged that the man in front of him was a damn Soviet traitor, so he interrupted what he was saying and gave him a hard push on the shoulder: "Hurry up.
Take us there."
Under the leadership of Eugene, the four people soon arrived in front of a wooden house not far ahead. Perhaps in order to show off in front of Sokov, Eugene raised his foot and walked towards the closed door.
He kicked him over. He heard a loud bang and the door was actually kicked open by him.
As soon as the door opened, Christopher rushed in with a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and then Samoylov also rushed in. After a while, Sokov heard the sound of fighting coming from inside, and he
He secretly screamed something bad and rushed in quickly.
With the help of the flashlight, he saw a middle-aged man being pinned to the ground by Christopher with his hands behind his back, while Samoylov was holding a submachine gun and pointed the muzzle at an elderly couple standing by the wall.
couple.
"I'm here to help you." Before Sokov could say anything, Eugene ran in from outside, had already taken down a bundle of ropes from the wall, and said flatteringly: "I'll help you tie him up." After that, he
Three strokes, five divisions and two strokes will tie up the person who was subdued by Christopher tightly.
After Christopher and Eugene lifted the middle-aged man from the ground, Sokov walked up to the middle-aged man and asked, "Who are you?"
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man just snorted heavily and turned his head to the side, not bothering to talk to Sokov at all. The middle-aged man did not speak, but Eugene next to him took the initiative to introduce Sokov: "I know him.
He is the deputy captain of the guerrillas. After being injured by your encirclement and suppression troops yesterday, he was hiding here to recuperate."
"Eugene, you piece of shit." When the middle-aged man heard that Eugene had leaked his identity to the Germans, he immediately raised his foot and kicked Eugene. Fortunately, Eugene was quick and avoided this attack.
One kick. After the middle-aged man saw that his kick was empty, he said angrily: "When the guerrillas come back, I will definitely kill you."
"I think you won't see that day." Eugene said triumphantly: "Because you will be dragged outside and shot by these Germans soon."
The middle-aged man sighed softly and said: "If I hadn't been injured, it wouldn't have been so easy for these German guys to deal with me."
After Sokov waited for Christopher to light the candle, he used the candlelight to see clearly the middle-aged man standing in front of him. He was wearing a white army shirt and had a thick bandage wrapped around his abdomen. Maybe the struggle just now was too intense.
There was blood oozing from the bandage.
"I think the best outcome for him is to be hanged." Sokov sneered and said, "Now bring him back to the headquarters."
"Mr. Officer," although Sokov was only wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier, Eugene still looked at him and asked, "What should we do with these two immortals?"
"Let them stay here." After Sokov finished speaking, he shook his head at Christopher and motioned for him to take the injured guerrilla out.
Seeing that Sokov and the others were about to leave, Eugene became a little anxious. He quickly asked: "Mr. Officer, what should I do? You know, if they know that I am helping you, I will definitely not survive. You'd better put me there."
Take it away."
"There's no room in the armored vehicle." Sokov gave a reason that the other party couldn't refute. He raised his hand and patted Eugene on the shoulder, and said coldly: "Just stay here and continue to collect intelligence for us. I will
Send someone to protect you as soon as possible."
In this way, Eugene watched helplessly as Sokov and the others put the guerrillas into the armored vehicle and drove away. He turned around and saw the Dworkins walking towards him step by step with wooden sticks in their hands.
He said in a panic: "Dworkin, there are some misunderstandings here. I believe I can explain them clearly to you."
Before he finished speaking, the wooden sticks in the hands of the Dworkins and his wife hit him all over the body. For a moment, the room was filled with the dull sound of the wooden sticks hitting the body, and Eugene's killing pig-like sound.
Screams.
…………
After the armored vehicle drove out of the village, Sokov ordered Christopher: "Lieutenant Christopher, help this guerrilla comrade untie the rope."
"Yes!" Christopher agreed, pulled out the dagger, and tried to cut the rope that tied the middle-aged man.
After the middle-aged man was put into the armored vehicle, he originally thought that the Germans would pull him outside the village and shoot him, because this was what the Germans had done in the past. But now he heard Sokov's orders and couldn't help but feel confused.
, he thought to himself: Strange, why do these Germans use Russian when talking?
Just when he was puzzled, Christopher had already cut the rope and tore the broken ropes off his body one by one. Sokov took the initiative to reach out to him and said in a friendly manner: "Guerrilla"
Comrade of the team, you have suffered!"
Although the middle-aged man had heard Sokov calling his comrades, he still remained vigilant enough. He did not shake the hand Sokov extended, but asked vigilantly: "Who are you?
"
Hearing the middle-aged man's question, several people in the car looked at each other, and then everyone suddenly burst into laughter at the same time. Especially Christopher, who had subdued the middle-aged man with his own hands, even more so.
Tears of laughter came out of her eyes. Everyone’s laughter made the middle-aged man confused. He repeated the question just now in a stern voice: "What on earth are you?"
After Sokov waited for the laughter to stop, he shrugged his shoulders and said to the middle-aged man: "I'm sorry, comrade of the guerrillas, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, commander of the 73rd Infantry Brigade.
School, we were ordered to come here to perform a special mission."
What Sokov said made the middle-aged man's breathing become heavier: "You, are you really...really our own people?"
"That's right, comrade." Sokov nodded vigorously and said, "If we were real Germans, we might have shot you when we dragged you out of the room, or would we have let you get in the car?"
Sokov glanced at the wound on his abdomen and added, "Your injury looks serious. When we return to Stalingrad, we will send you to a military hospital."
"My name is Gumuyev, and I am the deputy captain of the guerrillas." The middle-aged man said seriously: "My troops are operating nearby. If there is anything you need from me, just ask and I will fully cooperate with you.
."
"Comrade Brigadier, this is great." After hearing what Gumuyev said, Christopher immediately showed an expression of joy: "I think that mission, if we can get help from the guerrillas, maybe we can do it."
