"What, a very ordinary sniper team?" This time it was Sokov's turn to be surprised: "How many people did you sacrifice when you annihilated them?"
Bogdanov replied without hesitation: "Comrade Commander, we surrounded the German sniper team at that time. Two soldiers were eager to make a contribution and rushed forward. As a result, one of them was hit by a German submachine gun, and
Another person was killed by a sniper.
Seeing that something was wrong, the commander leading the team immediately ordered the soldiers to stop, and instead used mortars to attack their hiding places and kill them all inside."
After Sokov heard this, he strengthened his guess that there was definitely something wrong with Alia. However, he did not talk too much about this matter, but asked Bogdanov: "How is the situation there?
Will the Germans continue their attack?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander, judging from the current situation, the Germans do want to retake Chernivtsi." Bogdanov said: "However, Lieutenant Colonel Ponedelin's troops were separated from the enemy's
The flank attack disrupted their offensive steps and forced them to deploy troops to protect their flanks."
"General Bogdanov," Sokov felt that Ponedelin's actions proved that the other party understood his intentions. This layout formed a cornering situation and could support each other with the 2nd Tank Army. The enemy could attack at any time.
When the Germans attacked his position, Bogdanov's tank army also needed to attack the German flanks.
Thinking of this, Sokov said into the microphone: "General Bogdanov, I deployed the troops like this just so that you can support each other when attacked by the German army.
If the troops are concentrated in one area, they may soon be surrounded by the German army. Once the logistical supplies are cut off, the besieged troops will only end up being annihilated.
But now that you are in two areas, if the German army wants to encircle you again, they will have to disperse their forces. In this way, their offensive power will be weakened, thus reducing the threat to our army."
"I understand, Comrade Commander." Bogdanov heard what Sokov said and still didn't understand what he meant, so he quickly said: "Since we were attacked today, Lieutenant Colonel Ponedelin
His troops attacked the German flank; then when his troops are in danger, I will also send troops to relieve him."
Sokov and Bogdanov chatted for a while, looked at the sky outside and then went back to their camp beds to lie down and rest.
After sleeping for less than an hour, Samyko walked in from outside. He obviously learned about the situation from Koshkin. As soon as he came in, he came directly to Sokov and said: "Comrade Commander,
I understand everything."
Sokov sat up, looked up at him and asked, "What do you understand?"
"There is a big problem with Alia. If we continue to keep her now, I am afraid it will be dangerous." Samyko suggested to Sokov: "Otherwise, just drag her out and shoot her, and the whole thing will be over."
"No, Comrade Chief of Staff." Sokov flatly rejected Samek's proposal. He explained: "If Alia appears in the city of Otac, it will be a trap set up by the Germans. If we take her
If they are shot dead, the Germans will definitely send people again. By then, if we want to find the enemies hidden in the city, we will definitely spend a lot of manpower and material resources.
But if Alia is kept alive and kept within our control, it will give the Germans the illusion that we are not aware of their conspiracy. Then they will wait for the end.
As a result, people will not be re-sent to continue this special task."
Sokov's words made Samyko suddenly enlightened: "So that's it." He smiled sheepishly and said, "Comrade Commander, I thought you didn't find the problem, but it turns out you have thought so carefully.
."
"I called General Bogdanov and learned about the situation there." Sokov said: "I found that the German sniper team that they annihilated was just a group of ordinary people, not Alia at all.
The kind of excellent sniper you mentioned. It seems that we accidentally fell into her trap again."
Hearing what Sokov said, Samyko asked with some confusion: "Why did you fall for her?"
"I think when she was interrogated, she started planning when she said she wanted two sniper groups to operate to the north and south of our direction." Sokov said: "She may have known me beforehand and even analyzed me.
Based on my character, I can infer what decision I will make after learning about this matter."
"What decision would you make?"
"If the other two German sniper groups are at the same level as Alia, in order to prevent our commanders from suffering unnecessary casualties, I will definitely send people to eliminate these two sniper groups." Sokov said here.
, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But in this way, the three best snipers in Otac City, as well as their most proud outstanding students, also left the city with them to hunt down the so-called outstanding German snipers.
."
Samyko knew that Sokov was about to tell the shocking news, so he did not interrupt him, but listened quietly to what he said in order to judge whether the other party's statement was correct.
"If the German sniper team in the south is only as good as the sniper team in the Chernivtsi area in the north, then we send Lyudmila, Vasily and the old man, just anti-aircraft artillery to kill mosquitoes - overqualified and underused. If the city really
If there is a sniper more powerful than Alia lurking, then the members of the headquarters will become the targets of the other party."
Sokov reached out and took out a cigarette case from Sameko's pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but did not light it in a hurry. After he put the cigarette case back into Sameko's pocket, he said, "Chief of Staff, you
Are there still enemy snipers lurking in the city?"
"There should be none." If Sokov had asked this yesterday, Samyko would have answered without hesitation, but at this time his words were obviously less confident: "But it cannot be ruled out that there are lurking snipers.
possible."
"Yes, that's what I thought." Sokov struck a match and lit the cigarette. After taking a puff, he continued: "I think there should be a highly skilled sniper lurking in the city."
"No way?!" Although Samek also had such a guess in his heart, when he heard Sokov say it, he was unwilling to believe it: "The information given to us by our superiors did not make it clear.
Aaliyah is an excellent sniper, and her information is also listed..."
At this point, his words stopped abruptly, and then he turned to look at Sokov and said with a shocked expression: "Comrade Commander, do you mean to say that there is something wrong with that information?"
"That's right." Sokov nodded and agreed with Samek's guess: "If it is really an excellent sniper's information, it must be strictly confidential. Even if we have agents lurking in important departments of the enemy,
, it is not easy to obtain this information. So..."
This time, before Sokov could finish speaking, Samek rushed to say: "Unless the enemy deliberately wants us to see this document and determine that the person in the document is an excellent sniper who wants to carry out the sniper mission.
"
"This thing is getting more and more interesting." Sokov said with a chuckle: "A game within a game, a plan within a plan. It seems that the Germans who set up this game are very smart."
"Comrade Commander, what is going on?" Although Sameko guessed some specific things, he was still confused about the whole thing: "Can you tell me?"
"Chief of Staff, while I have nothing to do now, let me analyze what I thought of for you." Sokov said: "First of all, the Germans sent an excellent sniper to Otats to test the sniper commander.
A member of the Ministry, this is definitely true.”
"Yes, it is indeed like this." Sameko nodded in affirmation.
"When they set up a position near the headquarters, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they left a flaw. This flaw was discovered by our excellent sniper Vasily, and they also led people to conduct an inspection of the sniper's position.
conducted a secret search. Am I remembering this correctly?"
"Yes, I remember correctly."
"Then the question comes. When the German snipers visit the attic again, they will definitely find that someone has been there before." Sokov was worried that Samyko would refute him, so he explained first: "At this time, he only has two choices:
One is to cancel the sniping operation; the other is to change the sniping location."
Seeing Samyko nodding his approval again, Sokov continued his analysis: "It is obviously impossible to cancel the sniper operation. After all, his purpose of coming to Otac is to sniper the senior generals of our army. Instead, he
It is obviously not a good idea to continue sniping in one place, as there is also a possibility of being noticed by our snipers.
In this case, what should he do? Just find a way to divert our attention. After we are deceived, it will not be too late for him to take action again."
Sokov has analyzed the whole matter to this extent, and Samyko can naturally come up with an outline of the rest: "So this person tried to get his superior to forge a false document, deliberately letting our people
Got it. Then, he asked Alia to go to Lyudmila and others to report that there was a German airborne team in the forest outside the city, and took them to the forest..."
When Sokov heard this, he intentionally interrupted Samyko and expressed his thoughts: "The third step is that he prepared military uniforms for Alia in the city and asked her to go to the military store to meet the chief of staff.
"
"Comrade Commander, in addition to military uniforms, there are also bombs." Samyko reminded Sokov: "Don't forget, she put the bomb in the kitchen. After the explosion, it caused panic, and then the sniper could hide outside.
into the attic and shot those who escaped."
"No, no, no, Comrade Chief of Staff, I happen to think this is a flaw in Alia." Sokov said to Samyko: "The military uniform she was wearing when she was captured, do you think she can fit a
A bomb? If she had it in her hand and the Chief of Staff saw it, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Especially since she had something in her hand before getting in the car, but had nothing in her hand when she left. It would be strange if the Chief of Staff did not become suspicious.
."
Samyko carefully considered Sokov's words and found that this was really the case. Since the military uniform that Alia was wearing couldn't fit a bomb at all, she could only hold it in her hand. However, according to the Chief of Staff, there was no bomb at that time.
I didn't see anything in Alia's hand, not even a bag. This shows from one aspect that Alia did not bring a bomb when she entered the kitchen of the headquarters.
But this completely confused Sameko: "Comrade Commander, since you said it was impossible for her to carry a bomb, where did the bomb that exploded in the kitchen come from?"
"Comrade Chief of Staff, I have a bold idea." Sokov said: "Tell me, could the person who planted the bomb be in the military store?"
"Military store?" Sokov's wild idea confused Samyko, and he asked in confusion: "Comrade Commander, I don't understand what you mean."
"It's actually very simple. We assume that the bomb detonated in the kitchen was hidden in vegetables or flour bags." Sokov said to himself: "Aliya went to the military store to contact the spies lurking inside.
.Seeing the Chief Secretary coming, he took the opportunity to hand over the vegetables or flour bags with bombs hidden in them to the Chief Secretary who came to purchase them.
I think the reason why Aaliya tried her best to enter the kitchen of the headquarters was not to plant a bomb, but to confirm whether the bomb was placed in place. Only after confirming that the bomb was placed can they take the next step."
"Then do we need to conduct an inspection on the people in the military store?" Samyko suddenly became afraid after hearing what Sokov said, since the other party could put it in the vegetables or flour bags sent to the headquarters kitchen.
Bomb, then we can release it a second time. The bomb released this time is not very powerful, but it is just to create panic and let the people in the headquarters escape and let the snipers take roll. Who knows whether a powerful bomb will be released next time
The bomb sent all the people in the headquarters directly into the sky.
Sokov also considered this issue and felt that there was a high possibility of German spies lurking in the military store. In order to eliminate the hidden danger, all the people inside must be replaced: "Comrade Chief of Staff, there is no need to review. Didn't we occupy several more
In one city, we can send all the people in the store to other cities. In this way, we can cut off the enemy's right and left arms without alerting the enemy."
"This is a good idea." Sameko nodded and said, "I will say hello to the post-processing minister later and ask him to transfer all the people in the military store to other cities."
"Next, let's talk about the enemy's fourth step." Sokov continued: "Since they were able to discover Vasily's secret search, they naturally also discovered the actions taken by the old man. I think the other party deliberately left many clues in order to
Mislead the old man and make him think that the person preparing to carry out the sniper mission is a woman."
"An excellent sniper, when faced with a group of targets escaping from the headquarters, will calmly snipe and kill them instead of looking outside." Sokov sneered and said in a disdainful tone: "If I
If she guessed correctly, when Aaliya entered the attic, she discovered the old man hiding nearby. In order to ensure the success of their mission, this woman was so cruel that she deliberately let the old man hit her on the shoulders and pretended to be
Our captives, thereby diverting our attention and lowering our vigilance."
