Participant Samoilov, the third platoon leader of the guard company, was also involved in the operation. The reason why he brought him with him was entirely hoped that Samoilov could use his expertise in the search for Mariya Vidjeeva. After all, if you want to find someone whose whereabouts are unknown, if someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to say second, no one dares to say that he is the first.
The soldier driving an armored vehicle is named Vamko, who comes from the Guard Company. He not only has skillful driving skills, but also an excellent machine gun shooter. If he encounters any danger, he can use the machine guns on the armored vehicle to effectively suppress the enemy and cover everyone out of danger.
After leaving Mamayevgang, the armored vehicles drove forward along the road. Although they encountered several patrols and two or three checkpoints on the road, the Germans saw it as a German armored vehicle and thought that they were carrying out any tasks, but did not make things difficult for them, but let them go directly.
Before leaving, Christopher was worried about how to deal with the German patrol and checkpoint along the way. Unexpectedly, this time it was so smooth that his heart, which was hanging in his throat, was put back in his belly. He said to Sokov with a side face: "Comrade Brigade Commander, we are so smooth today. It seems that it should not be difficult to complete the task assigned to us by our superiors!"
Sokov just snorted softly after hearing this, and then said, "Christorf, do you know where the person we are looking for?"
Christopher's smile froze on his face, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know very well."
Sokov had long guessed that Christopher would answer, so he turned his head and asked Samoilov beside him: "Comrade Lieutenant, where do you think the person we are looking for will be?"
Samoilov remained silent for a long time, and then replied, "Comrade Brigade Commander, I think so. If the person we are looking for is not captured by the German army, then she must have been hiding in a nearby collective farm. You must know that there are almost all women in the farm today, so if she hides her, the Germans will not be able to find her at all."
After Samoilov finished speaking, Sokov smiled bitterly and said, "Not only the enemy cannot find her, we cannot find her either. You must know that this information may be about the German troops' deployment map for the attack on Stalingrad. We must find her before the German attack begins and send the information back to the command center, otherwise everything will be done."
Christopher spread a map on his legs and illuminated it with a flashlight, and said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, let's go forward about three or four kilometers. There is a gardening farm there. I see we can stay there and inquire about the whereabouts of the female scout."
Although Sokov knew in his heart that this approach was to encounter a dead mouse, he had to try his luck in this situation. So he nodded and said, "Okay, our first stop is to this gardening farm."
As soon as he finished speaking, the armored vehicle that was speeding suddenly stopped. Everyone was caught off guard and collided with each other. Sokov wore a steel helmet on his head and hit the steel plate of the car body, which made him look like stars. He held back the pain and sat upright and asked Wamko who was driving: "Wamko, what's going on, why did you stop suddenly?"
"Comrade Brigade Commander." Wamko turned his head and looked at Sokov, and said innocently: "Two three-wheeled motorcycles drove towards us, blocking our way. It seems that they are preparing to inspect us."
When Sokov heard Vamko say this, he quickly looked forward from the open lookout. Sure enough, he saw two motorcycles parked on the road ahead, and the bright headlights shone directly over, making people's eyes blurred.
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Ernst saw this and quickly said to Sokov: "I get out of the car and ask what's going on." After Sokov's permission, he pushed open the door and got out of the car.
After seeing Ernst get off the car, Sokov stood by the car without moving. He quickly said to Samoilov and Christopher, who were still sitting still, and said, "What are you two still doing? Can a captain not be with two soldiers?"
Sokov's words made the two understand. They quickly got out of the car and stood behind Ernst. Seeing that Christopher and the others got out of the car, Ernst strode forward. He came to the two motorcycles and asked at the soldiers standing in front of the car, "Which part of you are? Why are you blocking our way?"
"We are patrol." Although the other party was a corporal, he was not affected by Ernst's rank being higher than himself. Instead, he asked in an official manner: "Sir Captain, where are you from and where are you going?"
"We are from the 295th Infantry Division and are ordered to carry out a secret mission." Ernst said coldly: "As for what mission it is, the corporal, you are not worthy of knowing at your level."
"Your ID!" The corporal extended his hand to Ernst: "Sir Captain, I want to check your ID!"
Fortunately, before leaving, the Group Army Command sent several forged documents to deal with such unexpected inspections. Ernst took out his certificate and handed it to the corporal who wanted to do business. The corporal carefully checked Ernst's ID with the help of the flashlight, and looked up at Ernst from time to time to confirm whether the photo on the certificate was himself.
Sokov, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but sweat in his hand when he saw this. He was worried that the German corporal recognized this as a fake document, so he opened the security of the assault rifle and secretly aimed the gun at the German corporal. If the other party was about to attack, he would have the confidence to send the other party to see God within one second.
However, the development of the matter was not as serious as Sokov was worried. After checking Ernst's ID, the German corporal confirmed that there was no problem and returned the ID to Ernst and said, "Sir Captain, we are tracking a Russian scout nearby. She may be carrying weapons. You should be more careful."
"Don't worry, corporal." Ernst put the document in his pocket and smiled and said to the German corporal: "We will be careful."
The German corporal nodded, saluted Ernst, and left with his subordinates on a motorcycle.
After everyone returned to the car, Ernst told Sokov excitedly: "Comrade Brigade Commander, the corporal just said that they were searching for a scout nearby. I think it should be the person we are looking for."
