Vasily shouted "Henderhoch!" and rushed into the German command post with the soldiers of the machine gun battery. A dozen unarmed German soldiers in the room heard the shouting and hurriedly put their hands on
Raised above his head. Only the German major stood with his back to the door, his hands behind his back, as if he didn't hear Vasily's shout at all.
Seeing that a German officer was ignoring him, Vasily pointed the submachine gun at him and said with great majesty: "Henderhoch!"
When the German major heard that the person shouting had come behind him, he slowly turned around and saw that the Soviet officer who was pointing a gun at him was actually wearing the uniform of a German second lieutenant. After sneering, he put on a pose
He said in a serious manner: "I am Major Jonas, the warehouse supervisor. I hope your army can abide by the Hague Convention and give me and my men the proper treatment as prisoners of war."
But what Major Jonas didn't expect was that none of the Soviet commanders and fighters who rushed in knew German. His words were just talking like chickens and ducks. When Vasily saw the German major, not only did he not raise his hands to surrender, but he even started chattering.
Riva was saying something, then he pulled the gun bolt impatiently and repeated what he just said: "Hundhoch!"
Seeing that the Soviet officer opposite him didn't answer his question, Major Jonas could only smile bitterly, took out his pistol from his pocket, threw it on the table in front of him, and then walked out of the room with his head lowered.
When Sokov saw Vasily and the others escorting the prisoners out of the house, he called Ernst and said to him: "Ernst, go and help Lieutenant Vasily interrogate the prisoners to see if you can get anything useful."
Intelligence."
When Ernst walked towards Vasily who was escorting the prisoners, Sokov suddenly realized that he had not seen Agelina from the start of the battle until now, so he called a soldier and asked: "Have you seen Agelina?"
Did you get it?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then pointed in the direction of the warehouse and said, "I seem to see her still there."
When Sokov heard that Agelina was still there, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He quickly trotted towards the warehouse to see if Agelina was there.
When he approached the warehouse, he found that in the direction of the front of several trucks, the corpses of more than a dozen German soldiers were lying scattered. It seemed that there had been a battle here. Seeing this, his uneasiness became more intense, and he quickly accelerated.
He stopped his steps and shouted loudly: "Agelina! Agelina, where are you?"
After he walked around the truck parked at the entrance of the warehouse, he finally saw Agelina. This beautiful female translator was kneeling and crying in front of the body of a soldier wearing a German uniform. Seeing that Agelina was safe and sound, he simply
The boulder hanging in Kove's heart finally fell to the ground. He quickly came behind Agelina and said breathlessly: "Agelina, it turns out that you are here and you scared me. I thought
What happened to you?"
Agelina heard Sokov's voice, turned to look up at him, and said with tears: "Dead, he was beaten to death!"
"Who was killed?" Agelina's words left Sokov a little confused. He squatted down and carefully looked at the body of the soldier on the ground, and quickly recognized that it was the body of the soldier who had been sent here.
The driver. "How did he die?"
"As soon as the gunshots on your side rang out, the captured German soldiers in the warehouse started running around." Agelina wiped her tears and said: "When a few soldiers got anxious, they shot and killed those who tried to escape.
German soldiers, but unfortunately they alerted the nearby enemies. They launched an attack on us. When a German soldier fired at me, the driver comrade did not hesitate to block in front of me. I am still
I don’t know what his name is.”
Sokov helped Agelina stand up, comforted her and said: "Don't worry, Agelina, there should be files in the prisoner of war camp, and we will find out his name." After that, he called out.
Two soldiers asked them to carry away the driver's body.
Sokov helped Agelina to the German major's office, where several company commanders were already waiting for him. Vanya smiled and said: "Comrade Battalion Commander, there are really a lot of things in this warehouse.
The weapons and equipment alone are enough to arm two regiments."
"Comrade Battalion Commander," Saviev continued: "Fortunately, the enemy's warehouse has enough weapons and ammunition, otherwise my company will have to fight with the enemy with bayonets in the next battle."
"Lieutenant Saviev," Sokov looked at Saviev and asked in confusion: "Why is your company's ammunition depleted so quickly?"
When Saveyev heard what Sokov said, he had a troubled expression on his face. Fortunately, the instructor Stepan finished it for him in time: "Comrade Battalion Commander, let me explain it to you. As you know, our company
Not long ago, the soldiers were guerrillas. In order to eliminate the fear in battle, they were accustomed to putting the butt of the gun against their abdomen and shooting non-stop. In this way, the consumption of ammunition would be very alarming."
"I understand." After listening, Sokov nodded and said to Saveyev and Stepan: "You must remind the soldiers to save ammunition during the battle, because once the bullets run out,
If it doesn't get replenished, the submachine gun will become worse than a fire stick. Do you understand?"
"Understood, comrade battalion commander." Saveyev and Stepan replied in unison: "We will remind the soldiers to save ammunition during the battle."
In today's battle, Vasily, who had made his first contribution by capturing the German commander alive, said to Sokov with high spirits: "Comrade Battalion Commander, judging from the few battles we have fought recently, the combat effectiveness of the Germans is nothing more than this.
.I suggest that the whole battalion immediately move towards Voloklamsk and cooperate with the main force of the group army to liberate this city."
Sokov, who was still smiling at first, immediately stopped smiling when he heard what Vasily said, and said solemnly: "Lieutenant Vasily, I want to remind you that whether it is liberating a prisoner of war camp or seizing the warehouse area,
, the reason why we were able to win so easily was not because the enemy's combat effectiveness was weak, but because behind us, we had the entire 16th Group Army backing us. If the enemies in Voloklamsk were not defeated,
Our main force is restrained. Do you think we can really defeat the enemy in this way? Apart from anything else, the only ones fighting us today are the German logistics troops, and even though they were caught off guard by our army, they still gave us
It caused more than 70 casualties."
Vasily, who was criticized by Sokov, blushed and said with embarrassment: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I was wrong. I was too impulsive and was carried away by the recent victory. You are right,...
”
At this moment, Agelina, who had followed Sokov into the room, suddenly exclaimed, and then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, she ran from the communications squad leader Maxim to Sokov, and put a hand in her hand.
A piece of paper was handed to Sokov and he said anxiously: "Captain Sokov, I found this from the captured message. Please take a look at the content above."
Sokov took a look at the telegram, smiled bitterly and said to Agelina: "Agelina, this is in German. I can't understand it. Can you read it for me?" After that, he said
Return the message to Agelina.
"I think Major Jonas has requested reinforcements from the outside world. This is the other party's reply." Agelina took the message Sokov handed to her, lowered her head and read: "... Our department has sent a company.
, rush to your place for support, we will arrive within an hour at the latest..."
"What, the enemy's reinforcements are coming?" After learning the news, the commanders present looked at each other, and then they all turned their attention to Sokov, waiting for him to make the final decision.
