Chapter 1407 Interpenetration (Part 2)

   After the sergeant blurted out his German, he immediately realized that his identity had been exposed. With a shake of his right shoulder, he swung up the Bobosha submachine gun under his right flank, held the gun with both hands to his arms, and aimed the gun at Shamrih.

He moved fast, and Shamrih moved even faster. Before he could pull the trigger, the gun in Shamrih's hand had already sounded. Three shots of "pa, pa, pa" hit the opponent accurately. There were three holes in the soldier's chest that kept bleeding out.

  The sound of gunfire was an order, and the soldiers in the carriage opened fire on several German soldiers on the side of the road. Hundreds of bullets poured out like a storm in an instant, and the shell casings fell inside and outside the compartment like beans.

The German soldiers standing on the side of the road thought they had gotten away with it, but they didn't expect the other party to fire when they said they would. Without any preparation, they were covered by the firepower of the Soviet commanders on the vehicle. Their bodies trembled as if they were electrocuted. Countless blood mist spewed out behind him.

  In less than half a minute, the five German soldiers pretending to be Soviet soldiers were shot into a sieve and lay on the side of the road in a mess. As soon as the gunfire stopped, the soldiers in the carriage jumped out one after another and stepped forward to check the enemy's body.

Lieutenant Yakuda, the deputy battalion commander sitting in a few cars behind, heard the gunshots in front and immediately realized that something had happened. He quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car. He waved his pistol at the soldiers in the car and shouted: "Brothers, come with me!"

   When Yakuda led people to the front, he found that the front of the front car was already surrounded by the commanders and fighters of the previous cars, and there was a burst of **** smell from the crowd. Worried about what happened to Shamrih, Yakuda squeezed in and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, comrades, please get out of the way."

   Waiting to squeeze into the crowd, Yakuda saw Shamrih standing in front of a pile of corpses, and hurried over and asked: "Comrade battalion commander, what happened, why did you shoot?"

  Shamrih pouted at the corpse lying on the ground, and said: "I met a few Germans pretending to be our army, and I saw through their identities, so I wiped them all out."

   "Comrade Battalion Commander, here are their IDs." A soldier who had just searched the corpse handed several **** military IDs to Shamrih: "It seems to be true."

  Shamrih took the documents and said without looking at them: "That's right, these documents are indeed real."

   Yakuda next to him heard what he said, and couldn't help asking in a daze: "Comrade battalion commander, didn't you say that they were all disguised by the Germans, so why are the documents they carry real?"

"The reason is very simple." Shamrih explained to Yakuda: "Just now when I was checking the ID of one of them, I deliberately looked at the staples used on the ID, and found that they were full of rust, which must be used by our army. certificate."

  Yakuda also knows how to tell whether the other party is an enemy by whether the staples on the certificate are rusted. He asked puzzledly: "Comrade Battalion Commander, since the certificates are real, how do you say they are counterfeit?"

"The reason is very simple." Shamrih continued: "Before we set off, the division commander once told us that the 188th Division of our army had just liberated the town of Kazakia Compass. Think about it, those who just participated in the battle Soldiers, how could it be possible to wear a new military uniform with a clean face without any trace of gunpowder smoke?"

Although Yakuda agrees with the reasons given by Shamrih very much in his heart, he feels that Shamrih ordered people to kill these people lying on the ground, it seems too hasty, and he may be killed They are all their own people. He said cautiously: "Comrade Battalion Commander, maybe when they left town to carry out their mission, they washed their faces and put on new military uniforms."

"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, I admit that what you said makes sense." Shamrich said with a sneer: "But after I checked the sergeant's ID card, I asked him unexpectedly in German while he was relaxing his vigilance: "Where are you going next?" He may not have recovered, so he answered me casually in fluent German: "Let's go to October Town."

  You also know that since I became a subordinate of Commander Sokov, I found that he likes to run to the front, and even personally lead people to go deep into the enemy for reconnaissance or sabotage. I was also fortunate enough to go there twice with him. At that time, I was thinking that if I could learn German well, it might be useful when I went deep behind enemy lines. Unexpectedly, the German I learned will come in handy today. "

  After listening to Shamrih's words, Yakuda fully confirmed that the other party did not accidentally hurt his own people. He accidentally found blood on Shamrih's military uniform, and couldn't help asking: "Comrade Battalion Commander, where did you stand when you shot at the enemy?"

   "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander," the driver hurriedly replied, "When you shot at the Germans, the battalion commander was standing where you were, no more than three meters away from the Germans."

"My God!" Yakuda was taken aback by the driver's words: "Comrade battalion commander, you must know that when you stand so close to the enemy, when our assault rifle fires, it is entirely possible to accidentally injure you. You're risking your own life."

"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, don't worry." Shamrich said with a smile: "After I fired three shots at the German sergeant, I immediately stepped back a few steps and stood in a safe area. Don't worry, you can fight The bullet that kills me hasn’t been produced yet.”

   "Comrade battalion commander, you can't underestimate the enemy." Yakuda said with some fear: "If even one of these German soldiers pulls the trigger before being killed, it may cause you harm."

"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, the situation is not as serious as you imagined." Shamrih said: "The enemy only has five people, and we have thousands of people. I didn’t expect to fight us. When we started shooting, except for the German sergeant who was closest to me, the rest of the German soldiers had their submachine guns on their shoulders. Before they could take them off, they were wiped out cleanly by our soldiers .”

  The convoy stopped, and soon there was another burst of gunfire. The head of the convoy, Granin, realized that there was a big problem, and quickly ordered people to go out to investigate.

  A few minutes later, the person he sent came back to report to him: "Comrade Commander, we have figured it out. Major Shamrih has discovered five enemies pretending to be soldiers of our army, and has wiped them all out."

Before Granin asked for more details, Shamrih and Yakuda had already come to him and reported to him: "Comrade commander, there is something wrong ahead, I think it is necessary to report to you immediately .”

   "Comrade Major," Granin asked politely, "you mean the five Germans who pretended to be our soldiers?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander." After Shamrich gave the other party an affirmative answer, he continued: "I don't think it was accidental, but the German army premeditatedly sent small troops to infiltrate the rear of our army." .”

   "The enemy is infiltrating the rear of our army?" Granin did not easily believe Shamrich's analysis, but asked tentatively: "Comrade Major, can you tell me how you came to such a conclusion?"

"The reason is very simple." Shamrich said: "The IDs carried by these killed German soldiers are all genuine IDs issued by our army. They should have been collected from the soldiers who died on the battlefield. I didn't even have time to change the photo." He handed the documents in his left hand to Granin.

  Granin took the **** documents in Shamrich's hand, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "How come the blood on these documents is still fresh?"

  "The enemies who carried these documents have been killed by us. These are the blood of the enemy."

After flipping through the documents briefly, Granin handed them back to Shamrich, and said, "Comrade Major, our task is to infiltrate the enemy's rear, so let the comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs be responsible for this kind of thing. "

Seeing that Granin didn't take this matter seriously, Shamrich became a little anxious: "Comrade commander, we encountered an enemy pretending to be our army on the road. No matter what the enemy's real intentions are, we should report this matter to the division headquarters." Report, please report this situation to Comrade Commander."

"I don't think it's necessary." Granin raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said impatiently, "Comrade Major, the order given to us by our superiors is to rush to the south of Compass Town in Kazakia as soon as possible, and then disguise ourselves as German soldiers." , mixed into the enemy's defense zone. Now we have been delayed here for almost half an hour, we should start as soon as possible to make up for the lost time."

  Although Granin's indifferent attitude made Shamrich very angry, but as the opponent's subordinate, he could only choose to execute it unconditionally. He bit the bullet and agreed: "Yes, Comrade Leader, let's continue on our way."

  Shamrih and Yakuda turned around and walked towards the front of the convoy. After walking a certain distance, Yakuda turned his head and glanced back, then asked Shamrih in a low voice: "Comrade Battalion Commander, do you really need to report such an important matter to your superiors?"

Shamrih also glanced back, seeing that the jeep that Granin was riding in could not be seen here at all, so he whispered to Yakuda: "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, before we continue to set off, you Leave two clever fighters to hide by the side of the road, let them return the same way as soon as possible after the convoy passes, and report to the division commander what happened here."

  Don't look at such things as skipping the report, which is the most annoying thing for a commander, but under the current situation, this is the only feasible way. So Yakuda nodded and said, "Don't worry, Comrade Battalion Commander, I will definitely send someone to report the situation here to Comrade Division Commander."

  The two sailors left by Yakuda came out of their hiding place after the convoy had passed, and rushed northward along the highway, preparing to report what happened here to the division commander Colonel Chuvashov as soon as possible.

  The two soldiers hurried forward, and it took more than an hour before they met the following troops. When the division commander Chuvashov listened to the report of the two soldiers, he couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked, "Does Lieutenant Colonel Granin know about this?"

   "I know, of course I know." The two soldiers replied in unison.

"Then did he take any measures?" After Chuvashov finished speaking, seeing the two soldiers looking at each other, guessing that the other party might not understand what he meant, he quickly added: "I mean, he knows that there are Germans pretending to be our soldiers. After that, did Lieutenant Colonel Granin send someone to search nearby?"

   "No." The two soldiers replied in unison again: "He just ordered the troops to continue along the road and prepare to arrive at the designated place within the specified time."

"Nonsense, this is simply nonsense." Hearing this, Chief of Staff Uzakov couldn't help interjecting, "Maybe there are still enemies hiding nearby. He just keeps going without any search, which doesn't mean that he knows their whereabouts." , Are they all exposed to the enemy?"

   "You have worked hard, comrades soldiers!" Seeing Uzakov criticizing Granin in front of his subordinates, Chuvashov quickly said to the two soldiers, "Go down and rest first."

After sending the two soldiers away, Chuvashov said to Uzakov with a straight face: "Comrade Chief of Staff, no matter what is wrong with Lieutenant Colonel Granin, you should not tell his right and wrong in front of his subordinates. It will affect his prestige in the regiment. Do you understand?"

"Comrade commander, I was wrong." Uzakov, who had been criticized by Chuvashov, immediately realized that he had lost his composure just now, and even directly criticized their regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Granin, in front of the soldiers of the 296th regiment. He quickly admitted his mistake to Chuvashov: "I will not make similar mistakes in the future."

   Chuvashov nodded, and then said to Uzakov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters to report the situation encountered by the 296 regiment to Comrade Commander. And ask him how to deal with it."

   "How to deal with it?" Uzakov looked at Chuvashov in surprise, and asked in puzzlement: "Comrade commander, what do you mean?"

   "I'm sorry, Comrade Chief of Staff, I didn't make it clear." Chuvashov quickly added: "Please ask the commander to see if we will send personnel to conduct the search, or will other troops complete the search task?"

   A few minutes later, the telegram sent by Uzakov was placed in front of Sokov.

  After reading the telegram, Sokov frowned. He looked at Sameko and asked, "Comrade Chief of Staff, what do you think the intention of the Germans is?"

   "Comrade Commander, I think the Germans may want to take advantage of our unstable foothold and send people to infiltrate our rear to sabotage and disrupt our offensive plan."

"That's right, I analyzed it in the same way." Sokov admitted: "Our army has just occupied Belgorod and is preparing to attack Kharkov. At this moment, there must be chaos in the defense area. If the enemy The infiltration at this time is entirely possible to succeed. In my opinion, this matter needs to be reported to Commander Konev immediately, so that he can notify the friendly forces to prepare, so as not to suffer from the Germans. "

   "I agree," Sameko echoed: "Our defense zone is not a big problem. I am worried about the friendly forces. If they can be warned in advance, then the losses caused by the enemy's destruction can be minimized."
