There is a question that Malashenko has been thinking about since just now.
Well, why did this young German soldier hide his regiment commander? Yes, it is true that he said that he wanted his regiment commander to receive medical assistance and survive, and this statement is indeed true.
But, what about other reasons? What are the other reasons?
Did he think that the Red Army would directly kill his seriously injured regiment leader? Or did he want to explain the situation first, prove that his regiment leader was valuable and get guarantees, before he was willing to tell where the person was?
Malashenko didn't know the specific reason, but he didn't plan to ask now.
As the first battle against the main urban area of Berlin, although it was small in scale, it was only a regiment-level battle. Compared with the leading division that specializes in fighting big battles and tough battles, such a battle would be a "warm-up exercise."
However, Malashenko was quite interested in the captured first senior German commander in charge of city defense.
Although this "senior" is a bit reluctant and is just a regiment leader, he is still a commander with military power and responsible for the defense of an entire neighborhood.
Malashenko is not interested in how he deploys defenses in the area he is responsible for. Why is he so interested in being beaten into a sieve and fucked through?
What is important is the more advanced content this guy knows, the situation of the German defenses in other nearby areas further up, whether the nearby Germans have large reserves of mobile defense, the configuration of the German defense areas further up, etc., etc.
That's what Malashenko is interested in.
I didn’t tell me that the German commander knew everything, but he should be able to find out some useful things. Malashenko, who had the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, planned to give it a try first, and maybe there would be something else.
What an unexpected gain.
"That's it. We have to go upstairs. It's on the second floor. Do you want me to lead you?"
"Um?"
Malashenko, who was thinking about something while walking, heard this and noticed that the German soldier leading the way had stopped.
Looking up as he spoke, Malashenko found that the place where he stopped was a two-story building that looked simple and unpretentious, and could even be said to be a bit old. Standing among rows of luxurious and beautiful buildings, it was full of buildings.
In the capital city of Berlin, where the streets are crowded, such a two-story building is really inconspicuous and easily overlooked. It seems that this is where the German general said he was hiding his seriously injured regimental commander.
"Your regiment leader is being hidden on the second floor?"
Malashenko confirmed for the last time that if there is no problem, then we should be able to start taking action.
After all, time waits for no one. If what you get in the end is a dead body, it will be a waste of time. Malashenko wants to be alive.
"Yes, he is on the second floor. I hid him behind the closet and closed the door. Both of his legs were injured and he couldn't move or run. He was bleeding a lot. I couldn't stop the wounds. You can go up there.
Find him. Please save him. Please keep your promise."
"Well, don't worry about that. Since you can keep your promise, so can I. I will ensure that I do what I promised you."
Malashenko could see that this ordinary German soldier was sincere, and his anxious and angry look almost made him look like the "King of Urgent" on his face. Judging from this, the relationship between this soldier and the regiment commander is quite good.
Yes, maybe the group leader had a favor with him before? Haha, who knows.
In short, all the answers will be revealed when you go up and take a look.
"You continue to lead the way, and everyone will follow."
"yes!"
The first half of the sentence was spoken in German to the ordinary German soldiers, and the second half in Russian was spoken to the comrades accompanying him.
Speaking Russian and German together is one of Malashenko's great abilities. Compared with many two-handed translators, my comrade's German level is almost as good as Russian. It is really much better.
The people accompanying Malashenko were all veteran combat engineers who were members of Alsim's gang and were capable of killing the Nazis without blinking an eye.
This group of people may be ruffians, they may be gangsters, they may even treat their enemies like bloodthirsty beasts, and they can even be said to be "cruel and ruthless" when fighting.
But it is undeniable that these people have very strong professional qualities, and their arrogance is one of the final forms of veterans who have evolved to the final stage. When they should be serious, they will never continue to act arrogantly.
, under the leadership of Alsim, Malashenko was protected quite well. Every suspicious building on the street had at least one pair of eyes staring at it.
The soldiers of the Leader's Division who had won the battle had basically cleared and occupied all the major buildings on the street, especially those where German troops had been stationed and where battles broke out.
The snipers belonging to the first-level support unit of the mechanized infantry platoon quickly arrived on the roof of the building at the commanding heights after the battle. They set up their sniper rifles in pairs and monitored all suspicious buildings within their field of vision.
The remaining houses that looked harmless to humans and animals and had not seen any fighting due to the German garrison were now being searched house by house by the freed-up Red Army soldiers, under the surveillance and cover of their own commanding heights.
Searching the residents of a house like this does sound troublesome, but troublesome things have to be done, it is necessary and there is no choice.
Unless you go in and search, you will never know whether there is a Nazi soldier hiding in this house, maybe a sniper or even a fanatic with explosives wrapped around his body, like a bomb that can explode at any time.
A time bomb. It lurks in the dark places that you don't know, watching everything, and suddenly pops out to give you a bomb when it thinks the exchange value is the highest.
Maybe it was to blow up the transport convoy and block traffic, maybe it was to snipe and kill the important officials and senior commanders who were passing by or inspecting. No one can say this kind of thing well. It depends on the plans and thoughts of the Nazi remnants who are plotting to cause big troubles.
And this kind of thing obviously cannot be tolerated. If something like this really happens, those responsible, from the squad leader to the platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander and even the brigade commander, none of them can escape.
You have to sit in a row and be punished. So this is something that must be done no matter how troublesome it is. You can't play with your emotions. As long as you still perform your duties and are responsible, you have to take responsibility.
It was only after Malashenko entered the house that he discovered that no fierce fighting had ever broken out in this small building.
Although the streets outside were full of bullet-riddled corpses and blood flowed all over the streets, the scene inside the small building gave people the feeling of
Well, it's quite warm. After searching for adjectives in his mind for a long time, Malashenko felt that he must say this.
