His ears were filled with harsh but cold German. He could understand such a threat and be more aware of his current situation. Hoffman was so frightened that he was afraid of the big man in front of him who was waving a sharp knife in his hand.
The Russian guy wiped his own neck with a knife. His mouth was covered and he couldn't make any sound. He could only nod his head repeatedly like "woo hoo".
"What do I ask you now and what do you say? You know the consequences of not cooperating."
"woo woo woo woo"
Hoffman, who was choked and out of breath, finally got rid of the rough and big palm, after he nodded repeatedly with horrified eyes.
Hoffman, who had been shot the moment before he fell to the ground, was now unarmed. The Mauser 98K that was originally hung on his shoulder was now in the hands of the enemy, and there were more than one black weapon around him.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at his head, but the Russian guy wielding a sharp knife in front of him just continued to whisper coldly.
"How many Germans are there in this building, and how many of your people are there further down this street? If you don't match what I know, I will kill you immediately. It's best to think clearly before talking."
"This is me."
Hoffman wanted to ask, "Why are you asking me if you already know everything?", but his reason told him that now was not the time to question the enemy or talk nonsense about bargaining.
Just like the Russian guy who wields a knife said, answer questions honestly. This is the only choice for Hoffman, who doesn't want to die yet.
"We have a class in this building. It's a two-story building. There's one person on duty on the first floor, and the rest are sleeping upstairs. It's not time to get up yet, so we usually get up at half past five.
"
"Further along the street are other troops from our company, but I really don't know their deployment. I'm just a soldier. I only remember that I saw them stationed at the intersection two days ago when I was moving things.
, they have also set up machine gun bunkers and anti-tank emplacements, and their weapons and troops are better than ours. I. I only know so much, and I have told you everything."
"Don't kill me, I just beg you, don't kill me. I, I still have my old mother at home. I promised my mother that I will go home to see her. I have never even touched a woman and I am not married. Please, please.
That was not the sound of a gunshot, but the sound of the AK's gun butt hitting the back of his head hard. Hoffman's "fishing behavior" of not even bothering to wear a helmet when he was on guard duty happened to be a big help.
Hoffman, who was almost in tears just now, begging the enemy to let him go, was hit hard on the back of the head a second later, and fell to the ground as limply as a sandbag, without moving anymore.
"There's so much nonsense! What kind of rubbish did the Germans recruit into the army to make up for it?"
"Okay, don't push me. The situation is almost the same as what we know. We are ready to take action as planned. We only have ten minutes."
"receive."
"clear."
"What should we do about this German guy? Give him a knife and kill him?"
Alsim, who had already tightened his grip on the AK in his hand, looked back, glanced at the "stinky meat" that had been dumped on the ground, and then said calmly without blinking.
"What does it matter? We'll get it done before we wake up, let's just leave it behind."
A few hours ago, Malashenko, who did what he said without hesitation, summoned his division leadership team and also called in Kulbalov, who was the commander of the main force of the operation.
The comrades met together and in less than ten minutes they finalized a set of action plans that did not appear to be very complicated or difficult. In line with the principle of rapidity and rapidity, the action time was set directly to the early morning, and there was no delay as much as possible. .
Since this is a special raid, and it is a raid of limited scale, the battle cannot be expanded at will, nor can it be prolonged. We must do our best to fight quickly and achieve the operational goal as quickly as possible.
Therefore, after discussions between Malashenko and the leadership team of the leading division, they agreed that large-scale and noisy artillery preparations that take a certain amount of time to complete are very unnecessary in such a battle. If this is done, Not only will it not be as effective as it should be, it may also be a waste. The time it takes to prepare for artillery fire is actually equivalent to the reaction time of a German.
It is hard to say how many Germans protected by building bunkers could be killed by artillery preparations that were limited in scale.
But it will definitely give the Germans time to come to their senses and make some reactions to the rumble of cannons, that's for sure.
Malashenko, who did not intend to leave any chance for the Germans to struggle and react, simply waved his hand and canceled any "unnecessary" artillery preparations. Instead, he ordered the elite infantry units to go forward and penetrate, trying to touch the outermost areas of the Germans. Several checkpoints and warning points paved the way for the main force to move in, shortening the reaction time of the German defense forces as much as possible, and catching the Germans by surprise as much as possible.
This kind of elite infantry infiltration and point-finding operation was carried out by multiple units at the same time. After all, the German checkpoints in the outer neighborhoods did not only have one house.
In addition to those scout troops who are accustomed to licking blood with the tip of a knife and are born to do this job, the combat engineer troops who are "heavy infantry" are the biggest "thorn-headed" fierce men in the combat engineer troops of the leadership division: Alsim also "self-recommended" requested to receive one of the combat missions, and personally led the team to handle a checkpoint.
The reason is quite simple.
"The most difficult task should be done by the most elite infantry, which is related to the success or failure of the entire battle. Combat engineers can not only attack head-on, but also penetrate. I have done this kind of work in the ice and snow of Finland. , I have many ways to hunt those naughty beasts in the dark, please allow me to lead the team to complete the mission!"
Just like many times before when "making trouble", Alsim picked a few of his "most powerful assistants". In fact, they were usually stupid, rough and rough veterans who liked to mess around with their company commander comrades. You Zi personally led the team to the brigade commander Kulbalov and asked to join the war.
If things had gone by in the past, Kurbalov might have scolded Alsim, kicked the "ass leader" hard in the ass, and told him to get out of here with his gang of veterans, but this time But it's different every time.
Alsim's combat experience of personally protecting the division commander in a disguised raid on the Vistula Bridge was very valuable. Indeed, as he said, he was indeed very professional in matters such as infiltration raids, and was the one appointed by Malashenko. "suitable for this job" material.
After dealing with the German sentry who "went out to take a dump", Alsim took action with his veteran veterans and soon reached the half-closed door.
After hearing the sound of "German Ditty" being hummed in the room, he nodded slowly towards the squad leader who was nearest and was ready.
