Chapter 445 Famous?
Inside the radar station, an enlarged satellite map was printed out and spread on a long table. Big Ivan took a red and blue marker and drew two winding lines on the map, "Blue
It's the Luga River, and the red one is the Narva River. The German 502nd Battalion in early 1944 was stationed between these two rivers."
"Including both sides of the Narva River?" Elena asked with a frown. The National Narva River is the border between Russia and Estonia. At the same time, the two have always had a lot of conflicts. If they are east of the Narva River,
It's okay if it's on the Russian coast, but it's going to be troublesome if it's on the West Bank.
“Including both sides of the Narva River!”
Big Ivan nodded and said, "In February 1944, the Soviet Red Army had broken the German siege of Leningrad (today's St. Petersburg), and the 502nd Battalion was forced to retreat toward the Narva River, and for a period of time afterwards
Riyi made a final struggle against the temporary defense line on the east bank of the Narva River. In history, this battle was called the Battle of the Narva Bridgehead."
"When did the German army fall?" Shi Quan asked while writing and drawing in his notebook.
Ivan the Great responded without thinking, "Although the Soviet Red Army successfully crossed the Narva River and established two bridgeheads at the end of February, it was actually not until late July that the Soviet Red Army completely ended this battle."
"In other words, that Tiger is very likely to be in Russia?" Shi Quan picked up a pen and made a big cross between the two rivers.
"There is a high probability." Big Ivan dropped the marker on the map. "If it were on the other side of the Narva River, there would be no need for them to bury the tank."
"Elena, when are you leaving?" Shi Quan turned around and asked.
"Tomorrow's morning train." Elena opened her notebook. "Asak and his tribe will escort the train, and the rest will take the flight three days later to Petersburg."
"Are they going too?" Big Ivan asked in surprise, "I mean those Nenets people."
"Not only are they going, but I also ordered a Tatra." Shi Quan said his plan, "I will basically take them with me in future operations, so at least we will have more manpower in the future."
Having said this, Shi Quan simply made arrangements for the topic, "Ono, you don't have to drive a supply truck from now on."
"Ah? Oh! OK! Thank you, boss!" Liu Xiaoye, who was wandering around in his thoughts, responded in a daze.
"Asak, five Nenets will help you make arrangements." Shi Quan opened his notebook and said, "Place two people in the supply truck. The container truck you drive plus a deputy, and the remaining one can drive a new car."
"But boss, where can so many people stay at night?" Asak asked in a naive voice.
"The newly added car has no other functions. It's just a dormitory car. It can sleep six people no problem." Shi Quan smiled and took out his mobile phone, pulled up a photo and threw it on the table, "You will still have to stay with Xianyu from now on."
They live in medical vans. Your tribesmen live in dormitory vans, but the conditions may be a little worse."
Asak took the phone, looked at it, and said with satisfaction, "This is already very good. It is much more comfortable than the tent we lived in when we were grazing."
"In this case? Everyone, get ready."
"Wait? Wait!" Xianyu, who was about to start a fight, woke up and said, "Boss? Do you have any weapons?"
"What do you think?" Shi Quan stood up. "Okay, let's start getting ready!"
"Finally I can go out for a walk!" Liu Xiaoye waved his little fists excitedly. Paddling at the radar station every day during the recent period is indeed relaxing, but staying for a long time is also very boring. And she is definitely not the only one who has this idea.
people.
All the fuss? Six Tatras that had been carefully overhauled and maintained left the radar station on the shores of Lake Baikal early the next morning, crushing the thick snow.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye? Shi Quan carried the bucket bag filled with rock candy on his chest and pulled Elena onto the flight to St. Petersburg. After a long flight of more than six hours, the group arrived unusually late.
Saint Petersburg.
Xianyu and He Tianlei were left behind to hand over the air-lifted Tatra at the airport. Shi Quan and others got into a taxi and went straight to the nursing home where Grandma Katya lived.
Just like what Valeria said a few months ago in the intensive care unit? The dying Grandma Katya once again stood up tenaciously. Even when they arrived here, the old lady's old face was pressed against
A dozen notes are playing mahjong with her old friends.
After spending a leisurely afternoon with the old men and ladies, Shi Quan left a few Russian poetry books he brought back from Switzerland as gifts, and then led everyone to a public parking lot near the train station.
[ ] "Is this the new car I bought?"
Big Ivan opened the car door and looked inside. This new car is just a tactical cabin with three extended bunks. Although it also has a bathroom, a kitchen and a reception area that can accommodate six people? But it is completely out of the question.
For aesthetics, nothing else? At least the space utilization is not even a little worse than Haining's works.
"Let's make do with it for now," Shi Quan said to the Nenets men standing in a row in front of him, "Haining is already helping you redesign the living cabin? Maybe you can replace it after you go back this time."
"Boss, is this good enough? We are very satisfied."
The man who once threw a cigar into the toilet in Poland grinned and said happily? He is the driver of this car? For this car, he brought a large bottle of reindeer blood all the way from Irkutsk.
, according to their Nenets tradition, they used their fingers to smear some unintelligible symbols on the front of the car like ghostly symbols.
Although he didn't know whether this "consecration" that looked a little bloody or even unlucky was of any use, Shi Quan didn't stop it after all. The backgrounds of the members of this small team were already complicated enough, so this was not enough.
After rearranging the division of labor, seven vehicles left the parking lot in a convoy and rushed overnight to the Russian border city of Kingisepp. This city is close to the Luga River and only 25 kilometers away from Narva.
It was this small distance that took the Soviet Red Army nearly ten months to recapture.
During this period, more than 20,000 German soldiers were buried in this fertile land covered with water nets and swamps, while the Soviet Red Army paid a price of 150,000. The huge battle loss ratio may indeed explain something from the side.
What, but to everyone in the club, the former flesh and blood millstone is more like a shallowly buried treasure.
In the final analysis, they are still just diggers who are digging bones and sucking out the marrow at war sites. It is more realistic to expect that these people will become noble because their wealth has doubled. It is better to expect that the French will not tan their armpits so darkly.
Because the temperature in the freezing cold Russia was low enough, the road conditions improved a lot. It took less than two hours to reach the destination after traveling more than 100 kilometers. Before the sun completely set, everyone arrived at Jinjishe
After walking around the outskirts of Pudong, five Tatras covered in ice and mud formed a circle on a flat highland by the Luga River. In the center of the circle were parked unattended supply trucks and vehicles at night.
cargo truck.
Feeling relieved, they handed over the night duty to the two strong Nenets men who had been catching up on their sleep in the co-pilot along the way. Shi Quan and others began to work on their dinner. This time, everyone was obviously more comfortable and finally had time.
Interested in enjoying a life of adventure.
"Yuri, where should we start tomorrow?" Elena asked as she placed two steaks on the table.
"Go to the Narva Reservoir first, and then look for clues around it." Shi Quan responded while pouring wine.
He was not idle during these three days. In addition to buying a car at a higher price, he also collected a lot of old World War II maps of the Battle of Narva Bridgehead.
These maps provided a lot of green or black arrows. Although he could not determine which arrow represented the Tiger tank, the distribution of these arrows was very interesting. They were almost all in the vast area east of the Narva Reservoir.
in the swampy forest.
"Wine and swamp are really a perfect pairing." Elena sat across from Shiquan and raised the crystal clear goblet, "For Tiger Style."
"For Tiger Style" Shiquan smiled, raised his cup and touched it lightly with Elena.
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, the convoy left the Luga River and drove less than ten kilometers west. From a distance, we saw the swamp next to the Narva Reservoir surrounded by various parked cars.
Such off-road truck.
"Ivan, what's going on?" Shi Quan asked as he picked up his phone.
"how could I know"
Big Ivan stepped on the brakes, opened the car door, stood up straight, and looked around. He saw dozens of bonfires of various sizes burning on the swamp. There were even food trucks selling food and drinks next to the roadside.
"Hey! Ivan! Long time no see!" A sharp-eyed bearded guy carrying a wine bottle said hello to Big Ivan.
"Krechi, what are you doing here?" Big Ivan asked curiously as he lay on the car door.
"Of course we are looking for tiger pose. Are you also looking for this or that tiger?"
The bearded Craigie rolled his eyes, pointed at the long motorcade and asked, "Is this the legendary Dragon and Bear Adventure Club?"
Big Iwan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What does the legend mean?"
"Stop coming"
The bearded Krejci shook the wine bottle in his hand, "Since the beautiful woman from your club accepted an exclusive interview with Red Star Channel at the Central Museum on Victory Day last year, God knows how many people have posted commissioned tasks to the email address you left.
, others don’t know, but I have accepted no less than 20 commissioned tasks from Miss Vika.”
"Assignment?"
Big Ivan reacted for a while, and then suddenly realized that Shi Quan did ask Elena to leave an email address for the beautiful reporter from the Red Star Channel, but since then the email address has been left to Vika and those from Belarus.
The young people took the responsibility. Unexpectedly, they actually implemented the idea they casually mentioned at that time.
"Krechi, tell me what's going on with that Tiger?" Big Ivan asked, changing the subject.
"You should ask Vika."
Krejci gloated and explained, "A few days ago, Vika almost won the underwear of those Ukrainian bastards by throwing dice in Bryansk. Later, the other party revealed that there was a Tiger hidden in the Narva River, and
They claimed that Vicard had solid evidence and clues."
Speaking of this, Krejci said cunningly, "I didn't believe it at first, but now that I meet you here, it seems that this news is 80% true."
