Sokov led his troops to the vicinity of the transfer station and met with the reconnaissance team that was staying here.
When Christopher saw Sokov appear, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute him and reported according to the regulations: "Comrade Battalion Commander, Christopher reported to you that the reconnaissance team has successfully completed the reconnaissance mission. Please instruct!"
But what happened next not only surprised Christopher, but also surprised the commanders and fighters around him. Sokov stepped forward, raised his fist to look at Christopher's shoulder, and punched him hard several times, staggering him. Just as everyone was confused, he heard Sokov pointing at the other party and said angrily: "You brought the reconnaissance team to the enemy's backbone, why didn't you contact the battalion headquarters? I thought you had sacrificed."
When Christopher was hit by Sokov's fist, he was a little confused. He didn't know what he had done wrong, so he actually asked the battalion commander to beat him as soon as he met. But when he heard Sokov's voice changed due to excitement, he saw the other party's hands stretching out, and immediately understood that the other party was worried about his safety and was not really angry with him. His eyes turned red, and he grinned and said to Sokov: "Comrade Battalion Commander, am I fine." After that, he held the other party's hands stretched out.
Sokov grabbed Christopher's hand and suddenly went to his arms, giving the other party a warm hug. The reason why Sokov was so out of control was that Christopher was one of the first people he met after coming to this time and space. In the battle of Shimki Town, only Seryosha, Oleg and Christopher survived. Therefore, Sokov, who cherished this comrades, led his team deep behind the enemy. When there was no news, he couldn't sleep or eat every day. It was not until he received a telegram from Christopher that the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
After the hug, Sokov took a step back and asked Christopher with a stern face: "Have you figured out the situation of the German transit station?" Seeing that the other party nodded and expressed his affirmation, he turned his head and shouted at the crowd watching the fun, "Corporate commanders come to me." Andrei and Vasily were in the crowd. When they heard Sokov's shouting, they hurriedly squeezed out.
Several people found a secluded place to squat down. Christopher held the flashlight in one hand and drew a simple picture of the transit station on the snow with the other, explaining in detail the distribution of the German troops and the firepower configuration to everyone.
After Sokov and Christopher introduced the situation, he pointed to the simple picture on the ground and arranged combat missions to the two company commanders in his usual tone: "...There are only more than forty enemies in the transit station, and half of the enemies are sleeping at this moment, so the second company has to deal with at most twenty enemies... The machine cannon company divided into two groups, ambushing the roads on the east and west sides of the transit station, blocking the enemies that may be reinforced."
After assigning the mission, he raised his head, looked at the two company commanders and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
Andre, who was responsible for sneak attacking the transfer station, had already known the situation of the attack target after listening to Christopher's story. Therefore, when he heard Sokov's question, he immediately shook his head and said, "I have no problem."
Vasily, who was in charge of the blocking mission, asked Christopher a series of questions to learn more about the distribution of the German troops, as well as the appropriate ambush location, etc. After getting the answer he wanted, Vasiya also raised his head and said to Sokov: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I have no problem."
"Comrades," Sokov stood up and said to the two company commanders: "Since the mission is clear, then go and prepare for the battle. I will stay here and wait for your good news."
The two company commanders also quickly stood up, straightened their backs, and replied loudly: "Yes!"
Sokov wanted to participate in the battle to capture the transit station himself, but considering that the troops were fighting in unfamiliar environments at night, it was easy to cause chaos, and there was a man who had to be in the center to coordinate and command. Therefore, he could only stay in place and wait for the final result of the battle with regret.
A row of chief Grissa, with more than a dozen soldiers, cut the barbed wire and drilled into the area where supplies were piled up. They cleverly avoided the German searchlights, hid in the shadows that were not illuminated by the searchlights, and carefully observed the surrounding environment. Five sentries holding guns were walking listlessly in the aisle between the goods.
Grissa designated a target for his subordinates, and then gently stroked his index finger around his neck, indicating that the sentries were removed with a knife. After seeing Grissa's gesture, several soldiers around him nodded, each with one target, carefully avoiding the searchlight light and approaching the sentries.
The Germans may never have dreamed that there would be a sneak attack here, so they were not very vigilant. The soldiers only took less than a minute to solve all the five sentries in the cargo yard. Seeing that the sentries in the cargo yard were solved, Grissa set his sights on the two sentry towers next to the cargo yard. The searchlights on these two sentry towers swept back and forth, making the road to the residence of the German soldiers always shine under the lights.
He called the other two soldiers to the front and whispered them: "One of you is responsible for the other mail tower, and you will kill the German soldiers above. Remember, don't shoot."
The sentry tower on the left was soon occupied. But when he captured the sentry tower on the right, something happened. When the soldier climbed up the wooden ladder, he alarmed the sentry above. The sentry raised his hand and looked at the watch. Why was someone coming up before the time to change the guard? Because he was curious, he asked casually below.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers climbing up did not understand German. When they heard the sentry shouting, thinking that they had been discovered, they quickly shot the submachine gun hanging on their chest at the sentry and fired a short shot. Although the sentry fell down, the sound of gunfire sounded in the dead of night and the noise was magnified countless times. The sentry at the entrance of the transit station heard the gunfire from the direction of the guard post and immediately realized that something was wrong. They hurriedly hid in the sandbag fortifications and fired guns to the sky to warn.
The German soldiers sleeping in the wooden house heard gunfire sounds outside and guessed that they might have been attacked. Many people didn't even have to wear clothes and rushed out with weapons. Unexpectedly, they just rushed to the door when they were blocked by cross-fire from left and right hulls, and four or five people fell down. The rest were all retracted back into the house.
The Germans did not stand waiting to die. After they retreated to the house, they broke the window glass, stretched out their guns and shot aimlessly outside to prevent the sneak attackers from rushing in. The German commander and a second lieutenant picked up the phone hanging on the wall and tried to ask for help from nearby troops. When he picked up the microphone, he found that there was no sound at all, and the telephone line had been cut off by the sneak attackers.
The Germans who were blocked in the house by the crossfire on the mail tower turned them into turtles in a jar. Grissa rushed to the window with the soldiers and threw in a few grenades. After a series of explosions, the resistance inside stopped. The German soldiers who were not killed hurriedly shot out the white flag and surrendered.
