"Okunev!" Shulka said to the actor: "Go and do some reconnaissance!"
"Yes!" the actor responded and directed a car to drive in the direction of the gunfire.
Others, under the command of Shulka, hid their vehicles and prepared for battle according to the terrain.
Okunev's car drove back in about twenty minutes.
Okunev jumped out of the car and ran all the way to Shulka and lay down next to him. Then he took out a map, placed it in front of him, pointed at a circle and said: "The big one is at this location, about two kilometers away from us. There are two enemy tanks."
, an armored vehicle and a motorized unit are chasing a small convoy of our army!"
After a pause, Okunev continued: "They are moving along this road, which is two miles away from our nearest place!"
After looking at the map, Shulka ordered: "Hurry to the highway immediately!"
The soldiers quickly got up from their hiding places and ran towards the half-track vehicle like flying, and then drove towards the highway with a "rumbling" sound.
The advantage of a half-track vehicle is not only that it has better defense and firepower than a car, but also that it does not rely on roads.
At this time, if they use other means of transportation such as cars, they may not be able to do anything about the current situation, because by the time they arrive on the highway, the enemy may have already passed that section and cannot intercept them!
But now, because the half-tracks were faster and the distance was shorter, they rushed to their destination first and even spent some time laying out firepower to ambush on both sides of the road.
The roads here are similar to other roads. The snow has been shoveled to both sides of the road to create high piles, more than one meter high... As mentioned before, on the one hand, this is for the convenience of road transportation; on the other hand,
It can form cover for cars driving in the middle of the road, making it difficult for pilots in the air to observe.
The soldiers used the snow as trenches to hide in. They wore snow-white camouflage cloaks and could not see anything when they lay down on the ground.
The sound of gunfire and artillery was getting closer and closer. Sure enough, it was a German army chasing a Soviet convoy... This Soviet convoy was composed of five jeeps, American jeeps.
One look at this Shulka and it was clear that the person sitting in the jeep must be an officer, and possibly a high-ranking officer.
The reason is very simple. At this time, US aid had just entered the Soviet Union. American jeeps were useful but in small numbers. They once became a scarce resource, but now there are only five of them.
Shulka guessed that this was probably a headquarters that had escaped in a hurry. The Germans also realized this, so they pursued them closely.
The speed of the jeep will be faster than the speed of the German motorized troops. The problem is that the German troops in the rear will shoot forward from time to time... Although the tank is always inaccurate when shooting while driving, the explosion of the shell in the middle of the road makes the jeep panic and unable to control the steering wheel.
I turned left and right and almost ran off the road several times.
Seeing this, Shulka couldn't help but frown. It was obvious that this pilot was not a veteran, otherwise they wouldn't be frightened like this.
The pilot assigned by the high-level commander is not a veteran with combat experience?
What's going on?
At this moment, something happened in the front. When the German army's three-wheeled army was turning around the corner, the machine gunner fired a bunch of bullets forward...the bullet hit a jeep in the front.
Then there was a "peng" sound, and the jeep lost control and rolled sideways several times and landed in the middle of the road.
This triggered a series of "traffic accidents". The second jeep couldn't dodge before it hit it and was unable to move. The third jeep turned the steering wheel hard to avoid it, but it hit too hard and hit the snow wall on the roadside.
The two jeeps behind them stopped helplessly because the road was blocked and impassable.
Several officers and guards got out of the car and fled along the road while shooting back in panic.
"These idiots!" Shulka couldn't help but cursed.
At this time, they should immediately avoid the road and run into the wild. They can also leave a few people in the wild to act as snipers to block the enemy's pursuit, so that the others will have a greater chance of escaping.
But they continued to flee along the road... They were almost seeking death. As long as the Germans used tanks to knock away the wreckage of the jeeps, and then armored vehicles, tricycles, etc., they would catch up with them like Sun Wukong chasing the tortoise.
But for now, their approach is correct, because Shulka and others are ambushing in front of them, only a hundred meters away.
"Calm down!" Shulka ordered in a low voice: "Don't expose yourself without an order!"
The soldiers passed on the orders one after another.
Eighty meters.
The Soviet officer and his party advanced very slowly, and some of them were injured. The guards seemed to be frightened. They all followed the officer and ran away like crazy, turning back and shooting randomly as they ran... They could have relied on the jeep.
The screen was blocked for a while.
Of course, this requires their spirit of self-sacrifice, because staying to resist the enemy means giving up hope of survival.
None of them were willing to give up, so all of them had no hope...if Shulka and others were not there.
Sixty meters.
Gunshots were heard from the rear. Because the jeeps were jammed together, even the three-wheeled German army could not pass, so the German army could only stop and shoot at the Soviet army.
They were waiting for the tanks from behind to catch up.
Fifty meters.
A tank rumbled over, and its tracks ruthlessly ran over the jeep. Then with a "clang, clang, clang, clang" sound, the jeep was quickly crushed into a pile of scrap metal, and the road was soon knocked away.
opened a channel.
Then the tank stopped, adjusted its muzzle, and with a "bang" sound, a shell blasted several Soviet guards who were lagging behind, flying into the air and falling down hard.
"Comrade Captain!" the instructor reminded in a low voice from the side.
Shulka knew why the instructor was anxious. If he continued like this, it might be too late.
But Shulka still did not give the order.
Because the enemy tank was a hundred meters away at this time, just outside the range of the rocket launcher.
If Shulka and his team reveal their whereabouts too early, it will be difficult to deal with those two tanks, and they may even become targets of massacre by the German army.
The tank continued to move forward, and the German troops behind it followed up with three-wheelers.
At this time, the German soldiers were no longer anxious, because they knew that these officers could not escape, so they laughed and fired machine guns into the sky... They obviously hoped to capture alive Soviet officers, as live Soviet officers were more valuable to them.
This was exactly what Shulka wanted, so he continued to wait without saying a word.
Looking at the group of Soviet officers, their faces were so frightened that they were deformed. The highest ranking among them was a lieutenant general. He was shouting angrily at the guards around him while running away on his hands and knees, looking very embarrassed.
