Chapter 725 Wandering among the enemies (Part 1)

  Griza asked Corporal Aino to persuade the driver to give his reconnaissance team a ride, which is definitely a stroke of genius. Because even if they kill the driver and hide the body somewhere, there is still a possibility of being discovered. But now German drivers are worried about encountering guerrillas on the road and invite them to take a ride. Not only do they no longer need to march on foot, but they also save a lot of trouble when passing some checkpoints.

  After the truck drove along the road for five or six minutes, there was a loud noise in front of it, which startled the soldiers in the carriage. Griza quickly lifted the tarpaulin and looked forward, only to see a truck parked in the middle of the road in the distance, burning blazingly. Several ammunition vehicles that had just passed in front of the reconnaissance team were blocked by burning trucks.

On a dirt **** by the side of the road, sporadic gunshots rang out, knocking down two soldiers escorting the car who had just jumped out of the car, and the rest quickly lay down on the spot, or hid behind the car, crackling towards the hillside Fight around for a while.

  The sudden change made the soldiers nervous. They rushed to the fender at the rear of the car, trying to jump out of the car immediately, but were stopped by Griza. He lowered his voice and said to the soldiers: "You stay here first, I'll go out and see what's going on." After speaking, he turned over and jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards the front of the car.

   Ainuo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had already opened the door and got out of the car. Because of the position he was sitting in, he could not see it as clearly as in the carriage, so after getting out of the carriage, he set up an awning and looked towards the place where the gunshots sounded.

  Griza walked to Ainuo's side, didn't speak, just patted his shoulder with his hand. When he turned his head back, he gave him a wink and motioned him to go ahead and have a look together. Ainuo understood what Griza meant, nodded slightly, pulled out his pistol, bent over and trotted forward.

After leaving the truck for some distance, Grisa whispered to Aino: "Comrade Corporal, I just saw in the carriage that a truck was blown up on the road ahead. It must have been hit by a mine. The ammunition transporter just now The convoy, just stop in front and fight the friendly forces on the hillside."

  While the two were talking, the gunfire on the hillside had stopped. It should be that the Soviet troops above had moved. The German officer, who was hiding behind a truck and shot at the hillside from time to time, saw Grisa and Ainuo running over, and quickly shouted at Ainuo: "Second lieutenant, there are guerrillas on the hillside, take you immediately!" The soldiers rush up!"

  Although Griesa couldn't understand what the Germans were shouting at all, from the officer's arms waving desperately, he guessed that the other party wanted his own reconnaissance team to rush up to destroy the guerrillas on the hillside. He stared at the other party with contempt, and thought to himself: It's such a beautiful idea to want us to fight guerrillas. If it weren't for the fact that you have more people than us, maybe I will lead people to join forces with the guerrillas and wipe out all of you.

  But this idea can only be thought about silently in my heart, Griza will not miss a major event just because of a moment of enthusiasm. He turned his head and gave Ainuo a wink, signaling that the other party agreed to the request of the German officer, and then tried to find a way to delay the time.

"Mr. Lieutenant," Ainuo ran to the German officer and knelt down, pretending to be nervous and said, "You lead the people to rush up first, and my people will be there soon!" After finishing speaking, he stood by the side Griza ordered, "Hurry up, call everyone in the car over, and we, together with Mr. Lieutenant, will destroy the guerrillas on the hillside."

Griza ran back to the truck, and slapped the car twice with his hand. The soldiers sitting in the car immediately understood what he meant, jumped out of the car, and quickly stood in a row beside the car . After the soldiers assembled, Griza pointed at the distant hillside, made a charge gesture, and took the lead to charge forward.

  The German officer who escorted the car was actually a coward. When Griza went back to call for someone, he also squatted in place and did not move. At this moment, when he saw Griza leading the people rushing over, he immediately stretched out his hand and slapped Ainuo on the back, and said brazenly, "Second lieutenant, your men are here, hurry up and lead them up, and kill the guerrillas on the hillside." are all wiped out."

  Although Ainuo wanted to raise his hand and kill the German officer in front of him, but in order not to reveal his identity, he could only bite the bullet and agree: "Yes!" Then he stood up and ran towards Griza and the others.

  The soldiers had heard from Griza that there were guerrillas on the hillside attacking the German army. Unexpectedly, after they joined Ainuo and learned that they were going to fight guerrillas on the hillside, everyone immediately became dissatisfied.

   Sergeant Yelizaveta said to Grisa angrily: "Comrade lieutenant, our comrades are on the hillside, how can we help the Germans fight them?"

Because of the special circumstances at the moment, Grisa could not explain too much to them, and could only briefly say: "Comrades, I know that everyone has emotions, but if it is not us who charge up at this moment, but the Germans, you Think about it, can the guerrillas who attacked the enemy escape smoothly?"

   Hearing what Griza said, the soldiers fell silent. Seeing that the soldiers were silent, Griza continued, "Okay, don't stand here in a daze. If the Germans see us all standing here, they will be suspicious!"

  The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly carried their submachine guns, along the other side of the hillside, and rushed up the hillside. When they reached the top of the slope, they found that there was no one here. Elizaveta looked around, then pointed to the distance, and said to Griza: "Comrade Lieutenant, look, there are a few figures there, they should be comrades from the guerrillas, we need to go and contact them ?"

  Grisa looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw several figures running towards the distance. From the casual clothes they wore, it could be confirmed that they were the guerrillas who attacked the German army. He nodded slightly, then pointed to the distance with his hand, and told the soldiers around him: "Shoot a shuttle in their direction. Be careful, don't hurt them."

  Hearing Grisa's order, the soldiers hurriedly held their submachine guns and shot indiscriminately in the direction where the guerrillas disappeared. As soon as the shuttle was finished, the German officer appeared at the top of the hill with his men. Griza quickly coughed lightly at Aino, reminding him to deal with the officer.

   "Report, Mr. Lieutenant," Ainuo walked up to the German officer, raised his hand to salute him, and said respectfully, "We have driven the guerrillas away."

   "Why didn't you catch up." The German officer looked at the black spots in the distance and asked, "Second Lieutenant, you can definitely catch up and destroy them."

   "Mr. Lieutenant," Ainuo replied, "I don't know if they have an ambush ahead. If they rush after them, I'm afraid they will suffer unnecessary losses. In my opinion, let's leave this dangerous place as soon as possible."

  Ainuo’s words woke up the German officer. He remembered the carts of ammunition he had escorted, so he waved helplessly at Ainuo, and then said to his subordinates, “Go back to your car and prepare to leave this ghost place.”

Watching the German officer lead his men staggeringly down the hillside, Ainuo turned his head and said to Griza who was standing beside him: "Comrade Lieutenant, look, what a good opportunity, the enemy is on our side Within range, as long as the comrades pull the trigger, they can kill all these dozen or so German soldiers."

"Go back to the car." Grisa didn't want to kill these German soldiers, but when he thought of his mission, he forcibly suppressed this tempting idea. He said to everyone: "Follow the German convoy, They will take us through the checkpoint ahead!" Hearing what Griza said, the soldiers put off the safety of their submachine guns, and walked towards the truck parked in the distance with regret.

  The German driver staying in the truck was frightened by the burning truck on the road and the gunshots on the hillside. He didn't expect to encounter the guerrillas. If Grisa and the others had just been allowed to get into the car, it was more or less perfunctory. At this moment, they wished that the patrol soldiers could stay in their car until they reached Gorodisheh Town.

  Seeing Grisa and Ainuo coming down the hill, they drove up to meet them. After parking the car on the side of the road, he even took the initiative to open the co-pilot's door for Ainuo, and said courteously: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, hurry up and get in the car!"

  After everyone boarded the car, the driver tentatively asked Ainuo: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, what happened to those **** guerrillas?"

   "We chased them away." Seeing that the ammunition truck in front had restarted, Ainuo told the driver: "Keep up with the convoy ahead. If we encounter guerrillas again, we can take care of each other!"

  The driver was deeply afraid that the guerrillas would appear again. Hearing what Ainuo said, he quickly and loudly agreed, and stepped up the accelerator to catch up with the ammunition truck ahead.

   After driving a short distance, Ainuo, who was sitting on the bridge, saw a group of motorcycles approaching. It should be the nearby garrison. Hearing the movement here, he rushed over to check.

  The motorcycle stopped in the middle of the road, and the convoy transporting ammunition in front stopped, as if preparing to receive inspection. Seeing this situation, Ainuo couldn't help but burst into bitterness. He thought to himself that if the Germans really wanted to check their documents, how could he have any documents to show them? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced back, and at the same time coughed twice, reminding the people in the carriage to prepare for battle.

  As soon as the car stopped, Griza turned around and lifted the tarpaulin to grasp outwards, and found the motorcycle team that suddenly appeared. He guessed that it must be the garrison who came from nearby, and he might conduct a strict inspection of the vehicle. After hearing Ainuo's cough, he quickly gestured to the soldiers in the vehicle to get everyone ready for battle.
