Grisa's move to ask Corporal Aino to convince the driver to let his reconnaissance team take the ride was definitely a stroke of genius. Because even if they killed the driver and hid the body somewhere, there was still a possibility of being discovered. But now the German driver
Because I was worried about encountering guerrillas on the road, I took the initiative to invite them to ride in the car. Not only did I no longer have to march on foot, but I also saved a lot of trouble when passing some checkpoints.
After the truck drove along the road for five or six minutes, a loud noise suddenly came from the front, startling the soldiers in the truck. Grisa quickly opened the tarp and looked forward, only to see a truck in the distance.
The truck was parked in the middle of the road and was burning. Several ammunition trucks that had just passed in front of the reconnaissance team were blocked by the burning trucks.
Sporadic gunshots rang out from a dirt slope on the roadside, knocking down two of the soldiers escorting the car who had just jumped out of the car. The rest quickly fell down on the spot, or hid behind the car, crackling towards the hillside.
The ground was beaten for a while.
The sudden change made the soldiers nervous. They rushed to the tailgate of the car and tried to jump out of the car immediately, but were stopped by Grisa. He lowered his voice and said to the soldiers: "You go first.
Stay here, I'll go out and see what's going on." After saying that, he jumped out of the car and walked towards the front of the car.
Aino, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had opened the door and got out of the car. Since he could not see as clearly as he did from the car, after getting out of the car, he put up an awning and looked towards the place where the gunshots were heard.
Grisa walked up to Aino and didn't say anything. He just patted his shoulder with his hand. When he turned around, he winked at him and motioned for him to go ahead and have a look. Aino understood the pattern.
Rizal nodded slightly, pulled out his pistol, bent over and trotted forward.
After leaving the truck for some distance, Grisa whispered to Aino: "Comrade Corporal, I just saw in the carriage that a truck was blown up on the road ahead. It must have hit a mine. The one transporting ammunition just now
The convoy stopped in front and engaged the friendly forces on the hillside."
While the two were talking, the gunfire on the hillside had stopped. It must have been that the Soviet troops above had moved. The German officer, who was hiding behind a truck and shooting randomly at the hillside from time to time, saw Grisa and Aino.
He ran over and shouted to Aino: "Second Lieutenant, there are guerrillas on the hillside. Take your soldiers and rush up immediately!"
Although Grisa could not understand what the Germans were shouting at all, he guessed from the officer's waving arms that the other party wanted his reconnaissance team to rush up and eliminate the guerrillas on the hillside. He stared with contempt.
The other party thought to himself: It's such a beautiful idea to want us to fight against the guerrillas. If you weren't outnumbered by us, maybe I would lead my team and join forces with the guerrillas to wipe out all of you.
However, he could only think about this idea silently in his heart. Grisa would not miss important things just for the sake of temporary excitement. He turned his head and winked at Aino, indicating that the other party agreed to the German officer's request, and then thought about it himself.
Ways to delay time.
"Mr. Lieutenant," Aino ran to the German officer and squatted down, pretending to be nervous and said: "You lead the people up first, my people will be there soon!" After saying that, he rushed to stand beside him.
Grisa ordered, "Hurry up and call everyone in the car over. Together with Mr. Lieutenant and others, we will eliminate the guerrillas on the hillside."
Grisa ran back to the truck and slapped the truck twice with his hands. The soldiers sitting in the truck immediately understood what he meant, jumped out of the truck one after another, and quickly stood in a row next to the truck.
After the soldiers were assembled, Grisa pointed towards the hillside in the distance, made a charging gesture, and then took the lead and rushed forward.
The German officer escorting the car was actually a coward. When Grisa went back to call for help, he squatted on the spot and did not move. When he saw Grisa rushing over with his people, he immediately reached out and slapped Aino on the back.
He said arrogantly: "Second Lieutenant, your people are here. Hurry up and lead them up to eliminate all the guerrillas on the hillside."
Although Aino wanted to raise his hand and shoot the German officer in front of him, in order not to reveal his identity, he could only bite the bullet and agree: "Yes!" Then he stood up and ran towards Grisa and the others.
The soldiers had heard from Grisa that there were guerrillas on the hillside attacking the German army. They were surprised and happy. They all wanted to rush up immediately and cooperate with the guerrillas to eliminate this small German army on the road. Who knew that they and Aino
After meeting up, everyone immediately felt dissatisfied when they learned that they were going to fight guerrillas on the hillside.
Sergeant Yelizavita angrily said to Grisa: "Comrade Lieutenant, our comrades are on the hillside. How can we help the Germans to fight them?"
Because of the special environment at this moment, Grisa could not explain too much to them. He could only say briefly: "Comrades, I know everyone is emotional, but if it is not us who rush up, but the Germans, you
Think about it, can the guerrillas who sneak attack the enemy escape smoothly?"
Hearing what Grisa said, the soldiers all fell silent. Seeing that the soldiers were silent, Grisa continued: "Okay, don't stand here in a daze. If the Germans see us standing here,
If you don’t move, you will be suspicious!”
The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and quickly rushed up the hillside with submachine guns in hand. When they reached the top of the hill, they found that there was no one here. Yelizavita looked around, and then towards
Pointing from a distance, he said to Grisa: "Comrade Lieutenant, look, there are several figures there, they should be guerrilla comrades. Do we need to go over and contact them?"
Grisa looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw several figures running towards the distance. Judging from the casual clothes they wore, he could confirm that they were guerrillas who sneaked into the German army. He nodded slightly, and then raised his hand towards the distance.
Chu pointed his finger and ordered the soldiers around him: "Hit a shuttle in their direction. Be careful not to hurt them."
After hearing Grisa's order, the soldiers quickly took their submachine guns and shot randomly in the direction where the guerrillas disappeared. As soon as they finished shooting, the German officer appeared on the top of the hillside with his men.
Grisa quickly coughed lightly at Aino, reminding him to deal with the officer.
"Report to Mr. Lieutenant," Aino walked up to the German officer, raised his hand to salute him, and said respectfully: "We have driven away the guerrillas."
"Why don't you catch up?" The German officer looked at a few black spots in the distance and asked, "Second Lieutenant, you can definitely catch up and eliminate them."
"Mr. Lieutenant," Aino replied, "I don't know if they have an ambush in front. If they catch up rashly, I'm afraid we will suffer unnecessary losses. I think we should leave this dangerous place quickly."
Aino's words gave the German officer a wake-up call. He thought of the several carts of ammunition he had escorted, and could only helplessly wave his hands to Aino, and then said to his men: "Get back in the car and get ready to leave this hellish place."
Seeing the German officer leading his men staggering down the hillside, Aino turned to Grisa who was standing aside and said: "Comrade Lieutenant, look, what a great opportunity. The enemies are all on our side."
Within the range, as long as the comrades pull the trigger, they can kill all these dozen German soldiers."
"Get back to the car." Grisa didn't want to kill these German soldiers, but when he thought of his mission, he suppressed this tempting idea. He said to everyone: "Follow the German convoy.
They will take us through the checkpoints ahead smoothly!" When the soldiers heard Grisa say this, they all turned off the safety of their submachine guns and walked toward the truck parked far away with regret.
The German driver who was staying in the truck was frightened by the burning truck on the road and the gunfire on the hillside. He did not expect to actually encounter the guerrillas. If Grisa and the others had just been allowed to get in the truck, they would still be carrying some of them.
Some perfunctory elements, at this moment, I wish that these patrols could stay in their cars until they reach the town of Gorodishe.
Seeing Grisa, Aino and the others coming down the hillside, they quickly drove up to meet them. After parking the car on the side of the road, they even took the initiative to open the passenger door for Aino and said diligently: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, hurry up and get in."
car!"
After everyone got on the bus, the driver tentatively asked Aino: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, how are those damn guerrillas doing?"
"We drove them away." Aino saw that the ammunition truck in front had restarted, so he ordered the driver: "Follow the convoy in front. If we encounter guerrillas again, we can take care of each other!"
The driver was deeply afraid that the guerrillas would appear again. When he heard what Aino said, he quickly agreed loudly and stepped on the accelerator to catch up with the ammunition truck ahead.
After driving not far forward, Aino, who was sitting on the driver's seat, saw a group of motorcycles coming towards him. They should be the nearby garrison. Hearing the noise here, they rushed over to check.
The motorcycle stopped in the middle of the road, and the convoy transporting ammunition in front stopped, as if ready to be inspected. Seeing this situation, Aino couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth. He thought to himself that if the Germans really wanted to check their documents, he would
Is there any ID that I can show them? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance back and coughed twice to remind the people in the carriage to prepare for battle.
As soon as the car stopped, Grisa turned around and lifted the tarpaulin to look outside, and saw the sudden appearance of the motorcycle fleet. He guessed that it must be the garrison coming from nearby, and they might conduct a strict inspection of the vehicles. When he heard
After Aino coughed, he quickly made a gesture to the soldiers in the carriage to get everyone ready for battle.
