Chapter 725 Wandering among the enemy (Part 1)
Grissa asked Corporal Aino to persuade the driver that his reconnaissance team would take a ride, which was definitely a stroke of knowledge. Because even if they killed the driver and hid the body somewhere, there was a possibility of being discovered. Now, German drivers were worried about encountering guerrillas on the road, so they took the initiative to invite them to take the bus, not only did they not have to marches anymore, but they also saved a lot of trouble when passing some levels.
After the truck drove along the road for five or six minutes, a loud noise suddenly came from the front, which scared the soldiers in the car. Grissa quickly lifted the tarp and looked forward, and saw a truck parked in the middle of the road in the distance, burning. Several ammunition trucks that had just passed by the reconnaissance team were blocked by the burning trucks.
On a dirt slope on the side of the road, there were sporadic gunfire sounds, knocking down two soldiers who had just jumped out of the car. The rest hurriedly lying down on the ground, or hid behind the car and raked at the hillside for a while.
The sudden change made the soldiers nervous. They rushed to the baffle at the rear of the car and tried to jump out of the car immediately, but were stopped by Grissa. He lowered his voice and said to the soldiers: "You guys stay here first, I'll go out and see what's going on." After that, he turned over and jumped out of the car and walked towards the front of the car.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Aino had already pushed open the door and got out of the car. Since the position he was sitting was not as clear as in the car, he got off the car and put on a turret in his hand and looked at the place where the gunshots were heard.
Grissa walked to Aino, without saying anything, but patted him on his shoulder with his hand. When he turned around, he winked at him and signaled him to go ahead to see. Aino understood what Grissa meant, nodded slightly, pulled out his pistol, bent down and trotted forward.
After leaving the truck for a distance, Grissa whispered to Aino: "Comrade Corporal, I just saw in the car that a truck was blown up on the road ahead, probably because it was a mine. The convoy transporting ammunition just now stopped in front and fought with friendly troops on the hillside."
While the two of them were talking, the gunshots on the hillside had stopped. It should be that the Soviet army above had moved. The German officer hiding behind a truck and shooting guns from time to time towards the hillside. Seeing Grissa and Aino running over, he quickly shouted at Aino: "Lieutenant, there are guerrillas on the hillside, immediately take your soldiers up!"
Although Grissa didn't understand what the Germans were calling, from the officer's desperate arms, he guessed that the other party wanted to rush forward to destroy the guerrillas on the hillside. He stared at the other party with contempt and thought to himself: I want us to fight the guerrillas, it's so beautiful. If you didn't have more people than us, maybe I would lead people to join forces with the guerrillas to eliminate you all.
However, this thought can only be thought silently in my heart. Grissa would not miss a big deal for a momentary intent. He turned his head and winked at Aino, signaling the other party to agree to the German officer's request, and then he found a way to delay the time himself.
"Mr. Lieutenant," Aino ran to the German officer and squatted down, pretending to be nervous, "Take people up first, and my people will arrive soon!" After that, he ordered Grissa, who was standing beside him, "Hurry up, call everyone in the car, and let us join Mr. Lieutenant and others to destroy the guerrillas on the hillside."
Grissa ran back to the truck and patted the body of the car twice with his hand. The soldiers sitting in the car immediately understood what he meant, jumped out of the car, and quickly stood in a row beside the car. After the soldiers assembled, Grissa pointed to the distant hillside, made a charge gesture, and took the lead in rushing forward.
The German officer escorting the car was actually a coward. When Grissa went back to call people, he squatted in place without moving. At this moment, seeing Grissa bringing people to rush over, he immediately reached out and slapped Aino's back, and said with great confidence: "Lieutenant, your people are here, hurry up and take them up and 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 agree: "Yes!" Then he stood up and ran over to Grissa and the others.
The soldiers had heard Grissa say that there were guerrillas attacking the German army on the hillside, and they were both surprised and happy. They all wanted to rush up immediately and cooperate with the guerrillas to destroy the small German army on the road. Unexpectedly, after they met with Aino, they learned that they were going to fight the guerrillas on the hillside, and everyone immediately felt dissatisfied.
Yelizavita said to Grissa with a whimpering spirit: "Comrade Lieutenant, our comrades are on the hillside. How can we help the Germans beat them?"
Because of the special environment at this moment, Grissa could not explain too much to them, so he could only say briefly: "Comrades, I know everyone is in emotions, but if it weren't for us to rush up, but the Germans rushed up, think about it, can the guerrillas who attacked the enemy escape smoothly?"
Hearing Grissa say this, the soldiers all quieted down. Seeing that the soldiers didn't say anything, Grissa continued to say, "Okay, don't stand here and dazed. If the Germans see that we are all standing here and still, they will feel suspicious!"
The soldiers did not dare to neglect, so they quickly carried the submachine guns and rushed up the hillside along the other side of the hillside. When they reached the top of the slope, they found that there was no one here. Yelizavita looked around, then pointed to the distance and said to Grissa: "Comrade Lieutenant, look, there are a few figures there, which should be comrades of the guerrillas. Do we need to go over and contact them?"
Grissa looked in the direction of his finger and saw several figures running towards the distance. From the casual clothes they were wearing, they could confirm that this was the guerrillas who were sneaking into the German army. He nodded slightly, then pointed his hand away, and instructed the soldiers around him: "Try each in their direction. Be careful, don't hurt them."
Hearing Grissa's orders, the soldiers quickly carried submachine guns and rushed in the direction where the guerrillas disappeared. As soon as they finished the one, the German officer appeared on the top of the hillside with his subordinates. Grissa quickly coughed gently at Aino and reminded him to deal with the officer.
"Report to Mr. Lieutenant," Aino walked to the German officer, raised his hand to salute him, and said respectfully: "We have driven the guerrillas away."
"Why don't you chase after me?" the German officer looked at the black dots in the distance and asked: "Secretary, you can catch up and destroy them."
"Mr. Lieutenant," Aino replied, "I don't know if they have ambushed in front of them. If they catch up rashly, they may suffer unnecessary losses. I think we should leave this dangerous place as soon as possible."
Aino's words reminded the German officer. He remembered the several vehicles of ammunition he escorted, and could only wave his hand to Aino helplessly, and then said to his subordinates: "Everyone goes back to the car and prepares to leave this ghost place."
Seeing the German officer shaking down the hillside with his subordinates, Aino turned his head and said to Grissa standing beside him, "Lyon, look, what a great opportunity, the enemy is within our range. As long as the comrades pull the trigger, they can kill all of these dozen German soldiers."
"Everyone goes back to the car." Grissa also wanted to kill these German soldiers, but when he thought of his mission, he forced the tempting thought to himself. He said to everyone: "Follow the German convoy, they will take us through the level ahead smoothly!" When the soldiers heard Grissa say this, they all turned off the security of the submachine guns and walked towards the truck parked in the distance with regret.
The German driver who was staying on the truck was frightened by the burning trucks on the road and the gunshots on the hillside. He didn't expect to encounter guerrillas. If Grissa and the others had just gotten into the car, there were still some perfunctory elements. At this moment, he wished that these patrol soldiers would stay in their car until they arrived in Gorodice Town.
Seeing Grissa, Aino and the others came down from the hillside and drove up. After parked the car on the side of the road, they also took the initiative to open the door of the co-pilot for Aino and said diligently: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, get in the car quickly!"
After everyone got on the bus, the driver asked Aino tentatively: "Mr. Lieutenant, how are those damn guerrillas?"
"We drove away." Seeing that the ammunition truck in front had been restarted, Aino ordered the driver: "Follow the convoy in front. If you encounter guerrillas again, you can take care of each other!"
The driver was afraid that the guerrillas would appear again. When he heard Aino say this, he quickly agreed loudly and increased the accelerator to chase the ammunition truck ahead.
After driving forward not long ago, Aino, who was sitting on the bridge, saw a team of motorcycles coming towards him. It should be a nearby garrison. Hearing the movement here, he rushed over to check it out.
The motorcycle stopped in the middle of the road, and the convoy transporting ammunition in front stopped, as if ready to receive the inspection. Aino saw this situation and couldn't help but feel bitter. He thought that if the Germans really wanted to check the documents, he would not have any documents to show them. Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking back, and coughed twice, reminding the people in the carriage to prepare for battle.
