After the sergeant blurted out his German, he immediately realized that his identity had been exposed. He shook his right shoulder, threw up the Bobosha submachine gun under his right side, held the gun with both hands to his arms, and pointed the gun at Shamri
He.
He moved quickly, and Shamrih moved even faster. Before he could pull the trigger, the gun in Shamrih's hand had already fired. "Pah, pah, pah" three shots, accurately hitting the opponent.
There were three holes in the soldier's chest that kept bleeding out.
The sound of gunfire was an order, and the soldiers in the carriage opened fire at several German soldiers on the roadside. Hundreds of bullets poured out like a storm in an instant, and the shell casings fell like beans inside and outside the carriage.
The German soldiers standing on the roadside thought they had gotten away with it, but they didn't expect to fire when the other party said to fire. Without any preparation, they were covered by the firepower of the Soviet commanders and fighters on the car. Their bodies were shaking like an electric shock.
Countless blood mist flew out from behind.
In less than half a minute, the five German soldiers pretending to be Soviet soldiers were beaten into pieces by random gunfire and lay in a mess on the roadside. As soon as the gunfire stopped, the soldiers in the carriage jumped out of the car and stepped forward.
Examine enemy corpses.
The deputy battalion commander, Captain Yakuda, who was sitting in the cars behind him, heard the gunfire from the front and immediately realized that something had happened. He quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car, waving his pistol and shouting at the soldiers in the car:
"Brothers, come with me!"
When Yakuda and others rushed to the front, they found that the front of the leading car was already surrounded by the commanders and fighters from the previous cars. The smell of blood came from the crowd. Yakuda was worried that something had happened to Shamrih.
As they pushed inside, they shouted loudly: "Give way, comrades, please give way."
After squeezing into the crowd, Yakuda saw Shamrih standing in front of a pile of corpses. He quickly squeezed over and asked: "Comrade Battalion Commander, what happened? Why did you shoot?"
Shamrih pursed his lips towards the corpse lying on the ground and said: "I met a few Germans pretending to be our army. I found out their identities and eliminated them all."
"Comrade Battalion Commander, these are the documents they carry." A soldier who had just searched the corpses handed several bloody military IDs to Shamrih: "They all seem to be true."
Shamrih took the documents and said without looking at them: "Yes, these documents are indeed genuine."
When Yakuda next to him heard what he said, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Comrade Battalion Commander, didn't you say that they are all Germans in disguise, so why are the documents they carry real?"
"The reason is very simple." Shamrih explained to Yakuda: "When I checked the ID of one of them just now, I deliberately looked at the staples used on the ID and found that they were all rusty. They must be used by our army.
certificate.”
Yakuda also knew how to identify whether the other party was an enemy by whether the staples on the documents were rusty. He asked puzzledly: "Comrade Battalion Commander, since the documents are genuine, how do you say they are fake?"
"The reason is very simple." Shamrih continued: "Before we set off, the division commander once told us that our army's 188th Division had just liberated the town of Kazakhya Compass. Think about it, the people who just participated in the battle
How is it possible for a soldier to be wearing a new military uniform, and his face is still clean, with no trace of gun smoke at all?"
Although Yakuda agreed very much with the reasons given by Shamrih, he felt that it seemed too hasty for Shamrih to order people to kill these people lying on the ground, and they might be beaten to death.
They are all his own. He said cautiously: "Comrade Battalion Commander, maybe when they left the town and were ordered to perform the mission, they washed their faces specially and put on new military uniforms."
"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, I admit that what you said makes sense." Shamrih said with a sneer: "But after I checked the sergeant's ID, when he relaxed his guard, I unexpectedly asked him in German:
'Where are you going to go next?' He probably didn't come back to his senses, but he casually answered me in fluent German: 'Let's go to October Town.'
As you know, since I became a subordinate of Commander Sokov, I found that he likes to run to the front, and even personally leads people to conduct reconnaissance of the enemy or carry out sabotage. I was also fortunate enough to follow him twice, and I was thinking at the time
, If you can learn German well, you may be able to put it to use when you go deep behind enemy lines in the future. Unexpectedly, the German I learned will be put to use today."
After hearing what Shamrih said, Yakuda was completely sure that the other party had not accidentally injured one of his own. He accidentally discovered that there were blood stains on Shamrih's uniform, and couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Battalion Commander, shoot at the enemy."
Where are you standing?"
"Comrade deputy battalion commander," the driver replied from the side: "When the shots were fired at the Germans, the battalion commander was standing where you were, no more than three meters away from the Germans."
"Oh my God!" Yakuda was startled by the driver's words: "Comrade Battalion Commander, you must know that you are standing at such a close distance from the enemy. When our assault rifle fires, it is entirely possible to accidentally injure you.
You are risking your life."
"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, don't worry." Shamrih said with a smile: "After I fired three shots at the German sergeant, I immediately took a few steps back and stood in a safe area. Don't worry, I can shoot
The bullet that will kill me has not been produced yet."
"Comrade Battalion Commander, you must not underestimate the enemy." Yakuda said with some fear: "If even one of these German soldiers pulls the trigger before being shot, it may cause harm to you."
"Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, the situation is not as serious as you think." Shamrih said: "The enemy only has five people, and we have thousands of people. What they are thinking about is how to avoid arousing our suspicion, and they still get through.
I didn't expect to fight with us. When we started shooting, except for the German sergeant who was closest to me, the rest of the German soldiers had their submachine guns on their shoulders. They had no time to take them off and were wiped out by our soldiers cleanly.
.”
The convoy stopped moving forward, and soon there was heavy gunfire from the front. The regiment leader Granin, who was in the middle of the convoy, realized that there was a big problem and quickly ordered people to go out to investigate.
A few minutes later, the person he sent came back and reported to him: "Comrade commander, we have figured it out. Major Shamrih has discovered five enemies pretending to be our soldiers and has eliminated them all."
Before Granin could ask for more details, Shamrih and Yakuda had already come to him and reported to him: "Comrade leader, there is something going on at the front. I think it is necessary to report to you immediately.
.”
"Comrade Major," Granin asked politely, "are you talking about the five Germans who pretended to be our soldiers?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander." After Shamrih gave the other party a positive answer, he continued: "I think this is definitely not an accident, but a premeditated decision by the German army to send a small force to infiltrate our army's rear.
.”
"The enemy has penetrated into the rear of our army?" Granin did not easily believe Shamrich's analysis, but asked tentatively: "Comrade Major, can you tell me how you came to such a conclusion?"
"The reason is very simple." Shamrich said: "The documents carried by these German soldiers who were shot down were all genuine documents issued by our army. They should have collected them from the soldiers who died on the battlefield, and even
I didn't even have time to change the photo." He handed all the documents in his left hand to Granin.
Granin took the bloody documents from Shamrih's hand and couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Why are the bloodstains on these documents still fresh?"
"All the enemies carrying these documents have been killed by us. This is the enemy's blood."
After briefly looking through the document, Granin handed it back to Shamrih and said: "Comrade Major, our mission is to infiltrate into the enemy's rear. This kind of thing should be handled by comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"
Seeing that Granin did not take this matter seriously at all, Shamrih became a little anxious: "Comrade commander, we encountered enemies disguised as our troops on the road. No matter what the enemy's true intentions are, we should report this matter to the division headquarters.
Report, please division commander report this situation to comrade commander."
"I don't think it's necessary." Granin raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said impatiently: "Comrade Major, the order given to us by our superiors is to rush to the south of the Compass Town of Kazachia as soon as possible, and then disguise ourselves as German soldiers
, sneaking into the enemy's defense area. Now we have been delayed here for almost half an hour, so we should set off as soon as possible in order to make up for the lost time."
Although Granin's indifferent attitude made Shamrih very angry, as a subordinate of the other party, he could only choose to execute it unconditionally. He bit the bullet and agreed: "Yes, comrade leader, let's continue on our way."
Shamrih and Yakuda turned around and walked towards the front of the convoy. After walking a certain distance, Yakuda turned around and glanced behind him, then asked Shamrih in a low voice: "Comrade Battalion Commander, such an important thing
,Do you really not need to report to your superiors?"
Shamrih also glanced behind him, and seeing that Granin's jeep was nowhere to be seen here, he whispered to Yakuda: "Comrade Deputy Battalion Commander, before we continue to set off later, you
Leave two smart soldiers hiding on the side of the road, wait for the convoy to pass, and ask them to return as soon as possible and go to the division commander to report what happened here."
Don't look at things like reporting over the top, which are the most annoying things for commanders, but under the current circumstances, this is the only feasible way. So Yakuda nodded and said: "Don't worry, Comrade Battalion Commander, I
I will definitely send someone to report the situation here to Comrade Division Commander."
The two sailors left behind in Yakuda waited for the convoy to pass, then came out of their hiding place and rushed north along the road, preparing to report what happened here to the division commander Colonel Chuvasov as soon as possible.
The two soldiers hurried slowly and hurriedly, and it still took more than an hour to meet the troops who were following them. When the division commander Chuvashov heard the reports of the two soldiers, he couldn't help being surprised and asked quickly: "Gra
Does Lieutenant Colonel Ning know about this?"
"I know, of course I know." The two soldiers replied in unison.
"Then did he take any measures?" After Chuvashov finished speaking, he saw the two soldiers looking at each other. He guessed that the other party might not understand what he meant, and quickly added: "I am asking, he knows that there are Germans pretending to be our soldiers.
Later, did Lieutenant Colonel Granin send anyone to search nearby?"
"No." The two soldiers replied in unison again: "He just ordered the troops to continue moving along the road and prepare to reach the designated place within the specified time."
"Nonsense, this is simply nonsense." When Chief of Staff Uzakov heard this, he couldn't help but interjected: "Maybe there are enemies hidden nearby. If he continues to move forward without conducting any search, it does not mean that his whereabouts have been revealed.
, are they all exposed to the enemy?"
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades soldiers!" Seeing Uzakov criticizing Granin in front of his subordinates, Chuvashov quickly said to the two soldiers: "Go down and rest first."
After sending the two soldiers away, Chuvasov said to Uzakov with a straight face: "Comrade Chief of Staff, no matter what is wrong with Lieutenant Colonel Granin, you should not say anything about him in front of his subordinates.
It will affect his prestige in the group. Do you understand?"
"Comrade Commander, I was wrong." Uzakov, who was criticized by Chuvashov, immediately realized that he had just lost his temper and actually criticized their regiment leader Lieutenant Colonel Granin in front of the soldiers of the 296th Regiment.
He quickly admitted his mistake to Chuvashov: "I will not make similar mistakes again in the future."
Chuvashov nodded, and then said to Uzakov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters to report the situation encountered by the 296th Regiment to Comrade Commander and ask him for instructions on how to deal with it."
"How to deal with it?" Uzakov looked at Chuvasov in surprise and asked in confusion: "Comrade Commander, what do you mean?"
"I'm sorry, Comrade Chief of Staff, I didn't make it clear." Chuvashov quickly added: "Can you please ask the commander for instructions whether we will send personnel to conduct the search, or whether other troops will complete the search mission?"
A few minutes later, the telegram sent by Uzakov was placed in front of Sokov.
After reading the telegram, Sokov's brows knitted into a knot. He looked at Samyko and asked: "Comrade Chief of Staff, what do you think the Germans' intention is for doing this?"
"Comrade Commander, I think the Germans may want to take advantage of our unstable footing to send people to penetrate our rear to cause damage and disrupt our offensive plan."
"Yes, I analyzed it this way." Sokov said with approval: "Our army has just occupied Belgorod and is preparing to attack Kharkov. At this moment, the defense zone must be in chaos. If the enemy is in
It is entirely possible for the penetration to be successful at this time. In my opinion, this matter needs to be reported to Commander Konev immediately, so that he can notify friendly forces to prepare, so as not to suffer the consequences of the Germans."
"I agree," Sameko agreed: "Our defense zone doesn't have much of a problem. What I'm worried about is the friendly forces. If they can be warned in advance, then the losses caused by the enemy's destruction can be minimized."
