In Bologoye, Manstein is preparing for the military parade. Groups of soldiers are undergoing intense formation training. At the same time, Manstein is inspecting security work accompanied by several officers.
Manstein placed snipers at every suspicious position. Manstein believed that under his arrangement, there would be no blind spots left during the entire parade.
At this time, Manstein felt uneasy. Somehow, Manstein had a premonition that something unexpected might happen during this military parade.
Manstein pointed to the newly built viewing platform and said, "Search the viewing platform carefully to make sure there are no blind spots."
"yes!"
Manstein glanced at the viewing platform and hurriedly walked away...
In the dark night, Xu Rui, Leng Tiefeng, Minglu, Han Feng and Ergazi relied on each other and kept rubbing their hands in the underground passage.
"Captain, it's too cold, why don't we go up and find a place to rest," said the donkey.
"My sixth sense has just observed that there are a lot of German troops up here. It's not the time to go out now," Xu Rui said.
"Donkey, please bear with it," Leng Tiefeng said.
Tomorrow is the military parade. Xu Rui and the Langya team entered the secret passage during the day. However, because of the large number of German troops outside, a few people hid in the secret passage and did not go out.
Another half hour passed, and several people were so cold that their faces turned pale. Xu Rui once again released his six senses, constantly sensing things above the tunnel.
After a long while, Xu Rui said: "You can go out."
At that moment, several people, led by Xu Rui, climbed out of a secret passage.
The map showed that the location of the secret exit was in the backyard of a hospital. Several people climbed out and found no one, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, each of the five was wearing a German military uniform. Among them, Xu Rui was wearing a German major's uniform and carrying a Mauser 98 rifle on his back as he walked through the hospital.
Because he was afraid of being recognized by outsiders, Xu Rui deliberately lowered the brim of his hat. Fortunately, he did not encounter any questioning along the way. After leaving the hospital, the group of five people went straight towards the square where the military parade was held.
Although it was late at night in Bologoye City Square, there were still patrols walking around from time to time. Xu Rui stood near the square, constantly writing down the available terrain and possible sniper points around the square with a pen, and then waved his hand.
The four of them led Leng Tiefeng towards the viewing platform of the square.
"Stop, which unit are you from?" A German patrol stopped Xu Rui.
In the darkness, both sides could only vaguely see each other's figures.
Xu Rui replied in pure German: "We are ordered by General Manstein to check whether there are any suspicious items in the viewing platform."
The German officer opposite said: "General Manstein was too careful. He just inspected the viewing platform during the day and now he has to inspect it again."
"The general said that tomorrow is the military parade, so we can't be careless," Xu Rui said.
"Go." The German officer waved his hand and led the people away into the distance.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, and just as they were about to leave, they heard an officer in the distance shout: "Wait!"
This sound made everyone's hearts rise. Ergazi wanted to touch the gun, but Xu Rui whispered: "Don't act rashly."
Xu Rui turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
The officer asked: "Do you have any cigarettes?"
Xu Rui handed over a cigarette.
"Thank you." The officer took the cigarette and then turned around and left. This time he really left.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the patrol go away, Xu Rui immediately took the time bomb and installed it under the main seat of the auditorium. Xu Rui estimated that the bomb would be powerful enough to blow up the entire auditorium.
After smashing it, seeing that it was done, Xu Rui left with the Langya team.
Not long after Xu Rui left, in an inconspicuous corner on the roof of a two-story building not far away, a sniper stood up and said into the walkie-talkie: "The fish has been baited..."
Xu Rui and his group of five people once again came to a secluded corner near the square, and everyone celebrated with their hats.
Xu Rui frowned and said, "I always have a bad feeling."
"Old Xu, what's wrong?" Leng Tiefeng asked.
Xu Rui said: "Don't you think our operation went too smoothly?"
After what Xu Rui said, Leng Tiefeng and the others also felt that something was not right. Yes, it stands to reason that the Germans will have a military parade tomorrow. The guards in the square should not be so lax. How could they succeed so easily?
?
"Maybe the Germans didn't expect someone to sneak in and destroy it," said Donkey.
Xu Rui said: "But there is also a possibility that this is a trap set by the Germans for us."
"A trap set up by the Germans? Then why did they set up this trap?" Leng Tiefeng asked.
"I don't know about this. Logically speaking, the Germans shouldn't use their own head of state as bait. If something goes wrong, the price will be too high," Xu Rui said.
"Yes, Lao Xu, you must be suspicious." Leng Tiefeng said.
"I hope I am paranoid." Xu Rui frowned and kept thinking, if this is not the best trap set by the Germans, if it is a trap set by the Germans, then what are they planning? Using the safety of the head of state as an excuse
It would be too risky to lure Langya into taking the bait at a price. Could it be that I am really paranoid...
Although I have doubts, one thing is certain. Regardless of whether this is a trap set up by the Germans or not, tomorrow's operation must be carried out, and the plan to behead the German head of state cannot be abandoned.
"Veteran, that third-floor window is an excellent sniper position. Go up and take a look. If there are German snipers there, kill them. If not..."
"How about nothing?"
"Under normal circumstances, the Germans would inevitably take control of such an excellent sniper position. If there are no German snipers, it means that this military parade is a trap."
"A trap? The Germans set up such a big battle just to set a trap. What do they want to do?"
"Maybe it's for our Wolf Fang. I hope I'm not paranoid."
Leng Tiefeng nodded and immediately touched the sniper point from behind. A moment later, Leng Tiefeng said to Xu Rui through the walkie-talkie: "Old Xu, there is indeed a German sniper here, and I have taken care of it."
Xu Rui immediately entered the third floor with a few wolves. Although they could not start a fire, it was finally comfortable and warm in this building. Xu Rui signaled everyone to have a good rest. Tomorrow may be the day that determines the fate of the entire Soviet-German war.
…
On April 15th, although the ice and snow have not melted, the weather is no longer as cold as winter. There is a warmth in the air, and even the originally gray sky has turned blue.
The streets of Bologoye were full of German soldiers. They formed long lines and came to the road outside the square. They were dressed in neat and clean military uniforms and looked impressive. You could tell at a glance that they were elites.
division.
The German head of state was sitting in the audience seat. Next to him, senior German generals including Guderian and von Loeb were sitting on the left and right. Everyone was wearing formal clothes and looked extraordinary. Everyone looked up and felt.
Give birth to a heart of admiration.
Under the viewing platform, tens of thousands of German troops were ready to go. With an order, the formations were neatly organized. The mighty and majestic German troops passed under the viewing platform, kicking neat German goose steps, making roars like mountains and tsunamis, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
.
After several groups of German troops passed by, a square formation composed of captured Soviet troops came over. This square formation was large in number, with more than a thousand people. The Soviet troops at the front were all officers, and many of them had tattoos on their chests.
Medals and commemorative medals were hung, and they were dressed in clean and neat military uniforms. They looked so lonely, passing through the square like zombies.
When the captured Soviet troops passed by the square, everyone's attention was focused on these prisoners of war. The German head of state was smiling and very proud. So far, the entire military parade has gone smoothly and has been a success.
for the purpose of boosting morale.
In the small building near the square, Xu Rui, Leng Tiefeng and others also saw this scene. Xu Rui gritted his steel teeth and said: "Veteran, detonate the bomb!"
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "Why didn't it go off? The time for the bomb to detonate has come, but there has been no movement. I'm afraid there was an accident."
Xu Rui said: "It seems that the first plan has changed, and the backup plan will be launched immediately."
Leng Tiefeng nodded and said: "Old Xu, I will execute it."
Xu Rui shook his head and said, "It's up to me to execute it."
Xu Rui took a Mauser 98K sniper rifle, adjusted the angle of holding the gun, and aimed at the German head of state in the distance. Xu Rui calculated that from where he was to the position of the German head of state, there were more than 1,500 people.
Meters, this is the limit of the range of the Mauser 98K rifle. When shooting from this distance, the trajectory of the bullet is no longer a straight line, but a curve, and the probability of hitting the target is low.
Xu Rui measured the wind speed and direction, calculated silently in his mind, then put his eyes against the sight and adjusted his breathing.
Seeing from the scope, the German head of state was waving to the German troops marching below. Xu Rui held his breath, his eyes condensed, and the next moment, Xu Rui's finger had already pulled the trigger.
"Snapped!"
A bullet erupted from the barrel and flew forward. However, at this moment, the German head of state turned his head to talk to an officer beside him. The officer leaned his head over and the shot hit the officer's head.
Forehead, the next moment, a big hole appeared in the officer's forehead, and white brain matter and red blood spurted out.
Xu Rui saw that the viewing platform in the distance was in chaos, and the German head of state kept looking around surrounded by people.
"We can't let him escape!"
Xu Rui took a deep breath again and aimed at the location of the German head of state.
The German head of state stood up and prepared to escape surrounded by people...
