At this moment, Sokov has become the backbone of everyone. Even Vlasov came to ask for his opinion: "Captain Sokov, it seems that the enemy has discovered our identity. What should we do next?"
Are you in a hurry?"
"Comrade Commander," Sokov thought of the soldiers wearing Soviet uniforms in the convoy just now, and he had an unpleasant feeling in his heart. His fake Brandenburg team had met the real Brandenburg.
The troops, even in a one-on-one situation, can't get a good deal, not to mention that there are almost a dozen German troops accompanying them.
If this company continues on its way at this moment, once it encounters them, it will be in danger of being annihilated. It is for this reason that Sokov said to Vlasov with a serious expression: "If we continue on our way, we may be annihilated."
We will encounter the enemy who just passed by, so I think it’s not too late to wait until dark before rushing to the Yagogin area.”
"That's okay." Vlasov did not object to Sokov's proposal, but nodded and said: "Since the breakout, everyone's nerves have been in a state of high tension, so let's take a good rest now.
, it’s not too late to start our journey after dark.”
After instructing everyone to find a suitable place to rest, Vlasov ordered the communications staff: "Send a report to each division immediately and ask them to report their respective positions."
The communications staff did not dare to neglect, and quickly followed Vlasov's order to send telegrams to the divisions under the group army to learn the current location of each unit.
After dark, everyone left the forest and headed for the Yagogin area along the road under the cover of darkness.
The terrain of Ukraine is similar to that of Russia, with forests, grasslands, lakes and swamps everywhere. Because of this, everyone has to march along the road. If you march in the forests and grasslands for the sake of convenience, it is not only easy to get lost.
In this case, you may accidentally enter the swamp and lose your life in vain.
After everyone walked on the road for more than two hours, they saw a village ahead. Second Lieutenant Zhu Wenke said excitedly: "Great, there is a village ahead. We can rest there for the night and wait until dawn tomorrow before setting off."
But Sokov reminded him: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, there may be enemies in the village. Before we enter, we need to send people to conduct reconnaissance."
"Sokov is right." Vlasov agreed with Sokov and specifically added: "We don't know where the enemy has advanced and whether there are enemies in the village. If we just rush in like this,
, something big might happen."
"Comrade Commander is right," Colonel Del added beside him: "Even if we want to enter this village, we want to conduct reconnaissance first to find out whether there are any enemies inside."
Seeing that both Vlasov and Colonel Der agreed with his statement, Sokov quickly turned around and shouted from behind: "Dyubro, Dyubro!"
After hearing the shouting, Dyubro quickly came to Sokov and asked respectfully: "Comrade Captain, what are your instructions?"
Regarding Sokov's arrangement, Zhu Kewen immediately raised objections: "Comrade Captain, I do not agree with your arrangement. Although Dyubro put on a military uniform, he is still a prisoner. According to regulations, prisoners cannot carry weapons.
, and cannot participate in the battle. So I think it is very inappropriate for you to entrust such an important task to him."
"Second Lieutenant Zhu Kewen," Sokov heard what Zhu Kewen said and immediately said with a straight face: "We need to send people to conduct reconnaissance in the villages ahead to find out what enemies are there. And among so many of us,
, Speaking of reconnaissance experience, I am afraid that only Jiubro, who has been a hunter for many years, is the most powerful. If he is not sent, who else can be qualified for this task? "
Zhu Kewen was silent after hearing this. Yes, in this small army, no one had a hunter background, so Juburo was more suitable for reconnaissance tasks.
Everyone came to hide in the forest not far from the village, and then Jiubro quietly went to the village to prepare for reconnaissance of the village.
After waiting for almost an hour, Djubro returned from the village and reported to Sokov: "Comrade Captain, there are enemies in the village."
Vlasov couldn't help but frowned after hearing this: "There are indeed enemies in the village. It seems that our plan to spend the night in the village has failed."
There may be enemies in the village. This has been expected by Sokov for a long time. After Gyubro finished speaking, he continued to ask: "How many enemies are there?"
Dyubro did not expect Sokov to ask this question and was stunned.
"Why, you only saw enemies in the village, but didn't figure out how many there were?" Sokov asked dissatisfied.
"Comrade Captain," Dyubro saw that Sokov was angry, and replied in a panic: "I only saw two patrolling enemies, and the rest of the enemies should be resting in the room. Therefore, I can't figure out what the enemy is."
How many troops are there?"
"Captain Sokov," Vlasov asked Sokov, "how many enemies do you think there will be in the village?"
"It's hard to say, Comrade Commander." Since enemies have been discovered in the village, it is obviously impossible to enter the village to rest. But it seems not safe to bypass the village and continue on the road. Who knows if there are any enemies near the village?
If the German army's hidden sentry is discovered, the consequences will be very serious. "From Jubro's report, the enemy has two sentries in the village, indicating that they have at least a platoon of troops. We only have nine people. If and
If they fight, they will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"It's a pity, it's such a pity." Colonel Del said with a wry smile: "I haven't eaten anything today, and I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. I thought I could go into the village to find something to eat, but there were Germans in the village.
.”
If Colonel Del hadn't said he was hungry, Sokov wouldn't have noticed. After hearing this, he suddenly felt his stomach growling.
He turned to Vlasov and said: "Comrade Commander, I will take Comrade Dyubro to the village again."
"There are enemies in the village, what are you going to do?" Vlasov asked nervously.
"Comrade Chief of Staff said he hasn't eaten anything all day, but in fact it's not just him, all of us haven't eaten anything." Sokov explained to Vlasov: "If you don't eat something to replenish your strength, how can you continue tomorrow?
On the way."
"So, you want to go into the village and help everyone find something to eat?"
"Yes, that's what I thought about."
"Okay, Captain Sokov." Vlasov put his hand on Sokov's shoulder and said pleasantly: "Be safe, I wish you all the best!"
Sokov took Dyubro and quietly came to the village. He saw a German soldier wearing a helmet walking back and forth with a 98K in his hand.
"Jubro, is this one of the sentries?"
"Yes. Besides him, there is another position in the barn." Jiubro wiped his neck with his hand and asked tentatively: "How about we kill him?"
"No," Sokov simply rejected Dyubro's proposal: "We don't know how many enemies there are in the village. If we act rashly, we may expose our target. Let's avoid him first and find a suitable position to enter the village.
.”
After the two sneaked into the village, Djubro asked Sokov again: "Comrade Captain, where should we go next?"
Sokov looked around, and then said: "Look for two houses without lights, and then go inside to see if you can find something to eat."
In this way, after some searching, the two found a room without lights and entered the room secretly.
The two went to the kitchen and searched for a while, but found nothing to eat except a few glass cans.
"Comrade Captain, there are only a few cans, which is not enough for us to eat." Dyubro asked Sokov for instructions: "How about we find two more companies to try?"
After Sokov agreed to Dyubro's proposal, the two found another house and entered. Here, they found two pieces of bread the size of bricks, which made Dyubro very happy: "It's really useless.
I never imagined that I could find such a big piece of bread here.”
The two packed the bread into their backpacks and quietly walked out of the room. When they were about to leave the village, Sokov saw the barn not far away. He couldn't help but become interested, and said to Jiubro: "Jiub
Luo, that's the barn you mentioned, let's go over and have a look and see if we can find anything."
When Sokov quietly came to the barn, he saw a German sentry again. He also saw five tricycles parked in the open space in front of the barn. He thought to himself, what if a motorcycle
There are three people in the car, and five people in the car are fifteen people. Although the number of people is much less than what I expected, if there is a fight, I will be the one who suffers. Anyway, the purpose of coming to the village has been achieved, so there is no need to stay and take risks, so
Then he left the village with Gyuburo.
Returning to where Vlasov was hiding, Sokov handed the bread and cans he found to Vlasov: "Comrade Commander, this is what we found in the village."
Vlasov looked at the food that Sokov and the two had retrieved, and then handed it to Colonel Del: "Chief of Staff, please distribute the food to everyone. We haven't eaten for a day, I think everyone is starving.
Already."
A few minutes later, everyone began to share the food that Sokov and his wife had found.
Vlasov curiously asked Sokov: "Captain Sokov, have you discovered anything new in the village?"
"Two sentries were seen in the village, one at the entrance of the village and one at the door of the barn in the village." Sokov reported to Vlasov: "There were five three-wheeled motorcycles parked outside the barn, which means
There are at least 15 German soldiers in the village."
"The number of people is not large, but it's a pity that we have even fewer people." When Vlasov learned that there might be only 15 German soldiers in the village, he once had the idea of wiping out this enemy, but looking at the people in front of him, he had to
Give up the tempting thought: "If we had the same number of people as them, we might be able to stage a sneak attack and annihilate them all."
"Comrade Commander," Sokov was worried that Vlasov would be impulsive and really give him an order to eliminate this enemy, so he quickly reminded him: "Our current task is to rush to Yago as soon as possible.
Jing area and join up with the troops retreating there."
"Well, what you said makes sense." Colonel Del added next to him: "According to the call back from each unit, we can know that after the entire group was broken up, it has been distributed in three different areas, and the troops in the Yagogin area
The number of people is the largest, so we must try our best to get there as soon as possible, organize the troops, and re-establish new defenses, so as to prevent the German army from taking advantage of our army's chaos to continue to expand the occupied area."
After everyone finished eating, they each found a place to rest.
Since this place was very close to the enemy, Sokov did not dare to take it lightly. He arranged for Dyubro, Chursin and Romanov to take turns on duty to avoid being caught off guard by the Germans.
Fortunately, nothing happened until dawn, which made Sokov feel much more at ease.
"Captain Sokov," Colonel Del ran over and asked, "When do you think it is better for us to set off?"
Sokov raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the village. There was still a German soldier patrolling in the village, indicating that the Germans in the village had not left yet.
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov put down his telescope and said to Colonel Del: "The enemies in the village have not left yet. I think we should wait a little longer to avoid exposing our whereabouts."
"However, we must rush to the Yagojing area as soon as possible to join the troops there..."
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Vlasov interrupted: "Captain Sokov is right. The enemies in the village have not left yet. We cannot act rashly. If they discover our whereabouts, we will be in trouble.
If something happens to us, who will command the troops in the Yagogin area?"
Now that Vlasov said so, even if Colonel Del had any different ideas, he could only hide them in his heart: "Okay, then we can wait until the enemies in the village leave before heading to the Yagotin area.
"
After waiting for almost two hours, there was finally movement from the direction of the village. It seemed that the Germans were leaving.
Just when everyone was excited, what they saw next made everyone stunned.
Behind the two tricycles driving out of the village, there were actually hundreds of people following them. From their military uniforms and dejected expressions, Sokov immediately realized that these were Soviet prisoners of war captured by the Germans.
"Comrade Commander, come and see!" Upon seeing this, Colonel Del immediately called to Vlasov: "He is one of ours."
Vlasov walked over quickly and saw the prisoners of war walking out of the village under the escort of the German army. The expression on his face became solemn: "Hell, how come there are so many prisoners of war of our army in the village? You know, you know.
, we should have taken risks last night to rescue them."
Sokov secretly regretted that yesterday he found that the enemy had set up a sentry at the door of the barn. Why didn't he go over and check the barn? If he had really checked, he might have found hundreds of Soviet prisoners of war inside. At that time, he only had to kill them
After clearing the sentries at the entrance to the village and the barn, they could then rush into the barn, control all the German soldiers inside, and rescue the captured commanders and fighters.
"What a pity." Colonel Del said again: "If these soldiers can be rescued, there will be a few more soldiers who can fight in the next battle."
"Captain Sokov," Vlasov turned to ask Sokov after listening to Colonel Der's words, "Do you think we can rescue these captured soldiers?"
Sokov carefully observed the situation in the distance. Five three-wheeled motorcycles were distributed in different positions of the prisoner of war queue. If he could launch a surprise attack and defeat each of them, there was still hope of rescuing these prisoners of war: "Commander
