Chapter 1656 Goofing off

   "Mr. Captain," the officer returned to Yegor and asked dissatisfiedly, "What is going on here? Why did your subordinates point their guns at us?"

Yegor looked into the distance, and sure enough, he found that the commanders and fighters of the third company who had just arrived had vaguely surrounded the German army delivering the goods. His mind began to think quickly: "What should I do? Make the mistake or make the mistake. Put these Germans on the road." How about disarming them all? Or explain to the other party that this is a misunderstanding and avoid revealing your identity prematurely."

  Seeing Yegor not speaking for a long time, the officer realized something was wrong, and reached out for his gun. Yegor, who was still undecided, did not hesitate when he saw the German lieutenant draw out his gun. He drew out his pistol and put it on the opponent's head. Arms Surrender!"

  The officer’s gun had just been drawn halfway, when Yegor’s muzzle held his head, and he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found that his subordinates were confronting this group of unknown people with their guns raised. Don't see that the opponent's number is not as large as your own, but the position occupied by others is good. As long as the two sides open fire, your side will soon suffer heavy losses.

  After weighing the pros and cons, the officer slowly pulled out the pistol from the holster, threw it on the ground, and then turned around and shouted at his subordinates: "Everyone, put down the guns!"

   Regarding the order issued by the officer, although some German soldiers were reluctant, they could only obediently put down their weapons and raise their hands high when they saw the dark gun muzzles around them.

Seeing that the German army had disarmed, the commander of the third company trotted up to Yegor, and said quite proudly: "Yegor, that's great. We took down this group of enemies without even firing a single shot. None slipped through the net."

   "Third Company Commander," although it is a happy thing to solve the enemy in front of him, Yegor is not happy at all: "You are so reckless!"

  The third company commander, who was criticized by Yegor, couldn't help asking back with a confused face: "Yegor, did I do something wrong?"

"Do you know that although we have eliminated this group of enemies, if the enemies in the rear find such a convoy and never come out after entering the warehouse area, it will definitely arouse suspicion." Yegor said to the three with a straight face. The company commander said: "Once we are exposed, the enemy will attack us. Although we are not afraid of the enemy's attack at all, I still think the later the identity is exposed, the better, so as to leave more preparation time for the main force .”

  After hearing Yegor's words, the third company commander realized that he seemed to have gotten into trouble, scratched the back of his head with his hand, and asked embarrassedly: "Yegor, what should we do next?"

"What else can I do, I can only lock up these people." Yegor saw the truck not far away, and smiled wryly at the third company commander: "You take your subordinates to **** these people to the empty warehouse, After the workers finished unloading, I asked someone to drive the trucks to other places to hide, so as not to be discovered by the follow-up German convoy.”

Mikhaiev sent the third company commander here, and he was originally ordered to assist Yegor. Therefore, the third company commander did not object to Yegor's proposal. He turned around to greet his subordinates, and escorted the disarmed German troops away. , intending to lock them up with the officers and soldiers of the warehouse garrison.

  However, before the third company commander led the team to leave, Yegor still told the other party worriedly: "The third company commander, you must keep a close watch on them, and don't let them run away, otherwise we will be in constant trouble."

   "Don't worry, Yegor." The third company commander said confidently: "I will order my subordinates to keep a close eye on it, and absolutely not even a fly can escape."

  The third company commander returned to his subordinates, and before he even had time to count the number, he led the group of disarmed German officers and soldiers towards the empty warehouse where the garrison was held. Egor obviously didn't realize this either, and he was ordering someone to find Victor to discuss with him how to deal with the truck.

   "Comrade Victor," Yegor pointed to the trucks parked at the warehouse door, and asked Victor with a frown: "There are so many trucks, what do you think we should do with them?"

Victor saw that the third company commander took the prisoners away with his own eyes, so he naturally understood what Yegor was worried about, and quickly replied: "Comrade Captain, you don't have to worry, many of these stevedores can drive. Wait. After unloading, I asked people to drive the truck to a hidden place and hide it, so that the German troops who came later would never find out."

   This side was busy unloading, and a convoy of more than a dozen trucks appeared in the direction of the main entrance. These were vehicles sent by the German army to pull ammunition. But as soon as he opened the door, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door and told the second lieutenant officer who led the team: "I'm sorry, because the supplies in the warehouse have been emptied for the past two days, and they haven't been replenished yet, I can't provide you with supplies. Please come back another day."

  The second lieutenant officer who led the team knew that because the troops had to move their defenses in the past few days, there were a lot of vehicles going to the warehouse to collect supplies, and it was reasonable for the supplies and ammunition in the warehouse to be emptied. So without saying anything, he ordered the convoy to turn around and return to the original camp.

   Unexpectedly, not far from the warehouse, the car driving at the front broke down.

  Usually in this situation, other vehicles bypass the broken down vehicle and move on, leaving only the driver of the broken down vehicle to repair the car alone. But today's situation is different, the entire convoy has nothing to do, the second lieutenant who led the team ordered all the vehicles to stop, and waited for the driver of the broken down car to fix the car before leaving.

  When the drivers heard this order, they just wanted what they wanted. They opened the doors and got out of the car. They stood by the car and smoked and chatted with the soldiers escorting the car. They don't care at all when the broken down car will be repaired, and they even hope that the delay will be as long as possible, so that they can justifiably be lazy.

   At this moment, a senior soldier covered in mud suddenly rushed out from the side of the road. He grabbed a driver and asked with great emotion, "Where is your commander?"

  The driver gave him a dissatisfied look, pointed at the second lieutenant who was standing next to the cab of the front car smoking a cigarette, and said, "Here, Mr. second lieutenant is right there."

  The first-class soldier pushed the driver away, stumbled and rushed to the second lieutenant, startled the second lieutenant, drew his gun hastily, aimed at the soldier who was passing by, and asked nervously, "What are you going to do?"

  "Mr. Second Lieutenant!" The emotional first class grabbed the second lieutenant's skirt and said incoherently: "Russians, the Russians are coming! Hurry up and report to your superiors, the Russians have sneaked into the city..."

   "Russians?!" Hearing what the senior soldier said, the second lieutenant quickly looked around and said with a blank face, "Where are they? I haven't seen them so much?"

   "In the warehouse, they are in the warehouse." The first class continued to shout: "They are wearing our uniforms, pretending to be our people, and now they are staying in the warehouse."

   After the second lieutenant pulled out his skirt, he covered his nose with his hand to block the stench from the upper class soldier: "Secretary, show your identity. Who are you, and why do you say there are Russians in the warehouse?"

"Mr. Second Lieutenant," the first-class soldier regained consciousness a little at the moment, he quickly took a step back, straightened his back and reported to the second lieutenant: "I am a driver of the transport team, and the transport team I belonged to transported the truck half an hour ago. 35 truckloads of ammunition went into storage."

"and then?"

"Our car was parked in front of the warehouse where weapons and ammunition are stored. I felt a little pain in my stomach, so I went to the toilet." The first class soldier continued: "When I came out of the toilet, I saw that my companions were all being killed by the warehouse. The defenders disarmed and were escorted to a nearby warehouse and locked up."

   Hearing the words of the first class soldier clearly, the second lieutenant couldn't help but change his face: "Is everything you said true?"

   "Yes, Mr. Second Lieutenant." The corporal nodded vigorously, and replied in an affirmative tone: "What I said is true."

   This matter is of great importance. Before the second lieutenant reports to the superior commander, he must clarify some details: "Then how did you escape?"

   "I have been to the reservoir area many times, and I am familiar with the environment inside. I escaped from the sewer."

   The second lieutenant did not question the escape route, because the stench from the first class soldier had already explained everything. He continued to ask: "How many troops are the Russians in the warehouse?"

  The private first class thought for a while and replied, "There are probably a few hundred people."

   "What, there are hundreds of people?" The second lieutenant originally thought that there were not many Soviet troops in the warehouse, and he could take the dozens of people around him to catch the opponent by surprise. As long as he can successfully eliminate the disguised Russians in the warehouse, he will definitely be able to get a vacation back home. But when he heard that there were hundreds of people on the other side, he immediately put away this idea. The condition of returning home for vacation is attractive, but the premise is to save his own life: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"You can't make a mistake, Mr. Second Lieutenant." The first class soldier was afraid that the other party would not believe him, and he emphasized again and again: "Although I haven't counted carefully, according to my observations along the way, a few hundred people is the basic number. For those who haven’t seen it, there may be thousands of people.”

  Thinking that there might be hundreds or even thousands of people in the warehouse, the second lieutenant shuddered. With just his own men, if he rushed to attack the warehouse, let alone destroying the Russians inside, it would be a question of whether he could escape unscathed.

  The second lieutenant felt that he should report this matter to his superior immediately, and hurriedly greeted his subordinates: "Get in the car, everyone get in the car, we must rush back to the camp immediately."

  A soldier reminded him: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, we still have a car that broke down..."

Before the soldier finished speaking, the second lieutenant said loudly: "Throw it away, throw away that broken down truck, let the driver and the soldiers escorting the truck get into other cars, we must return to the camp as soon as possible, if it is too late, it will be too late. "

   Except for the drivers and soldiers who were closer to the second lieutenant, who knew what happened, the soldiers in the distance were still confused. They didn't understand why the second lieutenant had ordered everyone to rest where they were, and why they suddenly ordered everyone to return to the camp urgently. But an order is an order. If the superior tells you to return to the camp, then return to the camp. Everyone dared not neglect, and returned to the car one after another, and drove forward as soon as the car in front started.

  Because Mikhaiev didn't set up secret sentries outside the warehouse, he didn't know what happened here, let alone the danger that was quietly approaching.

The soldiers of the second company and the second platoon deployed on the water tower, although they found this convoy that turned back before entering the reservoir area, they saw that the other party did not stay for long, and then drove away from the reservoir area one after another, so they did not pay enough attention .

  Narva, wearing the uniform of a German captain, led two soldiers to the gate and asked the soldiers guarding outside: "What's the matter?"

"There is a German convoy, ready to go to the warehouse to pull goods." A sergeant leading the team reported to Narva: "I told the German second lieutenant who led the team that the supplies in the warehouse have been emptied. They will come back another day. After listening to the German second lieutenant, he didn't say anything, and left directly with the convoy."

After listening to the sergeant's report, Narva nodded with a smile, raised his hand and patted the opponent's arm, and said approvingly: "Good job, Comrade Sergeant. After the battle is over, I will definitely pay tribute to you." Thanks to the superiors."

After Narva left, the sergeant who led the team showed off to his subordinates: "Did you all hear that? Comrade company commander promised me that after this battle is over, he will ask his superiors for credit." .”

  The soldiers around heard what Narva said, and at this moment they all looked at the sergeant with envious eyes, wondering in their hearts, when the battle is over, will they have their own share in the reward for meritorious deeds?

  The sergeant saw what his subordinates were thinking, so he patted his chest and assured everyone: "Brothers, don't worry, when the company commander asks for credit for me, you will definitely not lose a share."

  The soldiers who regard honor as more important than their own lives, when they heard what the sergeant said, they all had expressions of relief on their faces. The impatient soldiers began to think in their hearts, if their superiors really want to award themselves, what kind of medals can they get?

  While everyone was using their wild imaginations, the roar of car engines came from the road in the distance. The sergeant sitting in the guard room got up and walked out, muttering, "Didn't you tell them that the supplies in the warehouse are all empty, why are you still here?"

   A soldier next to him said, "Maybe it's another convoy."

  The sergeant nodded, walked out of the door carelessly, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

  A convoy of more than a dozen trucks with tarpaulins appeared on the road in the distance, driving towards the warehouse gate, but the one driving at the front was an armored vehicle.

   Seeing this situation, the sergeant couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: It seems that this convoy is here to pull supplies, but what is the meaning of the armored vehicle leading the way ahead?

   "Comrade Sergeant," not only the sergeant was puzzled, but even the soldiers standing guard at the door were equally confused: "Why did the enemy convoy use armored vehicles to open the way? Could it be to strengthen the defense of the warehouse?"

"If it is really to strengthen the defense of the warehouse, it will be terrible." Hearing what the soldiers said, the sergeant not only secretly groaned in his heart, but if there is really a German army to strengthen the defense of the warehouse, then the chance of his troops being exposed is very high. greatly increased. He turned his face sideways to the soldiers at the door and said, "You guys are watching here. I'll go in and call the company headquarters, and report the situation here to the company commander."

Unexpectedly, when the sergeant turned around and was about to enter the door to make a phone call, the leading German armored vehicle had already rushed to the obstacle at the door. Several soldiers outside the door, including the sergeant, fell down in response.
