Sokov led his troops to the vicinity of the transfer station and met with the reconnaissance team staying here.
When Christopher saw Sokov appearing, he quickly stepped forward to salute him and reported in accordance with the regulations: "Comrade Battalion Commander, Christopher reports to you that the reconnaissance team has successfully completed the reconnaissance mission. Please give instructions."
!”
But what happened next not only surprised Christopher, but also shocked the surrounding commanders and soldiers. Sokov stepped forward, raised his fist and hit Christopher's shoulder, and hit him several times.
He punched him and staggered him. Just when everyone was confused, they heard Sokov pointing at the opponent and said angrily: "You led the reconnaissance team to the enemy's rear, why didn't you contact the battalion headquarters?
I thought you died."
When Christopher was punched by Sokov, he was a little confused. He didn't know what he had done wrong and actually let the battalion commander hit him as soon as they met. But when he heard Sokov's voice changing the tone due to excitement, he looked at it again.
When he saw the other person's extended hand, he immediately understood that the other person was worried about his safety and was not really angry with him. His eye circles were red, and he grinned and said to Sokov: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I
Isn't this a good thing?" After saying that, he held the other person's outstretched hand.
Sokov grabbed Christopher's hand, pulled it into his arms, and gave him a warm hug. The reason why Sokov was so rude was because Christopher was the one who came to this time and space.
, one of the first people he met. In the battle of Khimki Town, among the comrades who fought alongside him, only Seryosha, Oleg and Kristoff survived. Therefore, he cherished this gift very much.
Sokov, who was a comrade-in-arms man, had trouble sleeping and eating every day when Christopher led the team deep into the enemy's rear and there was still no news. It was not until he received the telegram sent back by Christopher that the stone in his heart fell.
Landed.
After the hug ended, Sokov took a step back and asked Christopher with a straight face: "Have you figured out the situation at the German transfer station?" Seeing the other party nodding in affirmation, he turned and shouted to the crowd watching the excitement.
A voice said, "Company commanders, come to me." Andrei and Vasily were in the crowd. When they heard Sokov's shout, they quickly squeezed out.
A few people found a secluded place and squatted down. Christopher held a flashlight in one hand and drew a simplified diagram of the transfer station on the snow with the other hand, explaining the distribution of German troops and firepower configuration to everyone in detail.
After Sokov waited for Christopher to finish introducing the situation, he pointed to the simple map on the ground and assigned combat missions to the two company commanders in a normal tone: "...There are only more than forty enemies in the transfer station. At this moment, there are
Half of the enemies are sleeping, so the second company has to deal with only twenty enemies at most... The machine gun company is divided into two groups and ambushes on the roads on the east and west sides of the transfer station to block enemies who may come for reinforcements."
After assigning the task, he raised his head, looked at the two company commanders and asked: "Do you have any questions?"
Andrei, who was responsible for the sneak attack on the transfer station, after listening to Christopher's story, already knew the situation of the attack target very well. Therefore, when he heard Sokov's question, he immediately shook his head and said: "I have no problem."
Vasily, who was responsible for the blocking mission, asked Christopher a series of questions to learn more about the distribution of German troops, suitable ambush locations, etc. After getting the answer he wanted, Vasiya also
He raised his head and said to Sokov: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I have no problem anymore."
"Comrades, company commanders," Sokov stood up and said to the two company commanders: "Now that the tasks are clear, let's prepare for battle. I will stay here and wait for your good news."
The two company commanders also stood up quickly, straightened their backs, and answered resoundingly: "Yes!"
Sokov wanted to personally participate in the battle to seize the transfer station, but considering that the troops were fighting in an unfamiliar environment at night, chaos would easily occur, and someone must be in the center to coordinate and command. Therefore, he could only stay where he was and wait with regret.
The final result of the battle.
Platoon leader Grisa and a dozen soldiers cut through the barbed wire fence and got into the area where supplies were piled. They cleverly avoided the German searchlights and hid in the shadows that could not be reached by the searchlights.
Observing the surrounding environment, five sentries with guns were walking back and forth listlessly in the aisle between the goods.
Griza designated a target for each of his men, and then lightly scratched his neck with his index finger, indicating that he would kill these sentries with a knife. Several soldiers around him clicked after seeing Griza's gesture.
He nodded, one person with one target, carefully avoiding the light of the searchlight, and approached the sentry.
The Germans may have never dreamed that they would be attacked here, so they were not very vigilant. It took the soldiers less than a minute to eliminate all five sentries in the goods yard. Seeing the people in the goods yard
After the sentries were dealt with, Grisa focused on the two sentry towers next to the cargo yard. The searchlights on these two sentry towers swept back and forth, so that the road to the German soldiers' residence was always under the light.
He called the other two soldiers in front of him and ordered them in a low voice: "Each of you is responsible for a sentry tower and kill the German soldiers above. Remember, never shoot."
The sentry tower on the left was quickly captured. But something happened when they captured the sentry tower on the right. When the soldiers climbed up the wooden ladder, they alerted the sentry above. The sentry raised his hand and looked at it.
Why did someone come up before it was time to change the guard? Out of curiosity, he asked casually below.
Unexpectedly, the soldier who was climbing up did not understand German. When he heard the sentry shouting, he thought he had been discovered. He quickly pointed the submachine gun hanging on his chest at the sentry and fired a short burst. Although the sentry fell down in response,
But the sound of gunshots that rang out in the dead of night amplified the sound countless times. When the sentry at the entrance of the transfer station heard the gunshots coming from the direction of the guard box, he immediately realized that something was wrong, hurriedly hid in the sandbag fortification, and fired a warning shot in the air.
.
The German soldiers sleeping in the wooden house heard the gunshots outside and guessed that they might have been attacked by a sneak attack. Many of them didn't even bother to put on their clothes, so they rushed out with their weapons. Unexpectedly, they had just rushed to the door.
, they were blocked by crossfire from the left and right sentry towers, and four or five people fell immediately. The rest all retreated into the house.
The Germans did not sit still. After they retreated into the house, they smashed the window glass, extended their guns from the window, and fired aimlessly outside to prevent the sneak attack Soviet troops from rushing in. The German commander, a
The second lieutenant picked up the phone hanging on the wall and tried to call for help from nearby troops. When he picked up the phone, he found that there was no sound at all and the phone line had been cut off by the Soviet troops who were sneaking around.
The German troops blocked in the room by the crossfire from the sentry tower turned them into turtles in a jar. Grisa led the soldiers to the window and threw a few grenades in. After a series of explosions, the resistance inside stopped.
.The German soldiers who were not killed in the bombing hurriedly waved white flags and surrendered.
Sokov, who was waiting for news in the forest, heard intensive gunshots coming from the direction of the transfer station, and couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew very well that such a loud noise would definitely alert the nearby enemies. Soon, the enemy's
Reinforcements will come from different directions. If Andre and others cannot resolve the battle quickly, they will be in danger of being grabbed by the Germans.
