When hundreds of soldiers appeared, Vlasov showed a relaxed expression on his face. He turned to Colonel Del and Nikolsky and said: "Chief of Staff, Comrade Military Commissioner, we have such a force around us.
, you don’t have to worry about the German airdrop groups anymore. If they don’t come, just forget about it. If they come, they will definitely come back.”
Colonel Del also felt confident. He looked at Sokov and said: "Comrade Commander, we will set off as soon as daybreak and try to reach Belopoliye as soon as possible."
"Comrade Chief of Staff, don't worry." Vlasov said with a smile: "Didn't we also send a reconnaissance team? We can wait for them to come back before continuing on our way. Don't worry, we have people around us.
With so many troops, not to mention the German airdrop teams, even if they are organic troops, we are still capable of fighting."
Near dawn, an explosion suddenly came from the northeast, alarming everyone in the forest.
As soon as Sokov heard the explosion, he rushed to Vlasov and others as soon as possible. You must know that the safety of them is the top priority now. Before arriving at Belopoliye, it is absolutely necessary.
We can't let anything happen to them.
"What's going on?" Seeing Sokov coming over, Vlasov immediately frowned and asked, "Where did the explosion come from?"
"It's in the northeast direction." Sokov quickly replied: "But what caused the explosion is not yet clear."
Yesterday's bombing left a shadow in Colonel Del's mind. He asked nervously: "Is it possible that enemy planes are bombing again?"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Sokov shook his head and said: "First of all, we didn't hear the roar of the aircraft engine; secondly, it's not bright yet, how could the plane take off? It must be something else.
, the explosion caused by it.”
"Could it be a mine?" Colonel Del asked again.
"This is impossible." Sokov once again denied Colonel Del's guess: "If it is near the defense area, it is reasonable to deploy minefields. Our location is deep in the inaccessible forest, whether it is our army or the Germans
, it is impossible to lay mines in such a place."
"What could be the explosion?" Colonel Del frowned and thought.
At this moment, two more consecutive explosions were heard.
As soon as the explosion stopped, Captain Karelin rushed over and said to Vlasov: "Comrade General, there was an explosion just now from the northeast. According to my experience, this should be a German airdrop team, using
A portable light mortar, the sound it makes when it attacks any target."
"What, is that the sound of a mortar?" Although it is not the first time for Sokov to travel through time, since he spends most of his time in the headquarters, he cannot rely on the explosive force like Captain Karelin.
By the sound, he could tell what caused the explosion. He thought of Chulsin and others who were scouting in the northeast, and worried that the sound of these cannons was the German airdrop team that was attacking Chulsin and others.
.
"Comrade Commander, the direction from which the gunfire came is exactly where our scouts are going." Sokov said to Vlasov: "They may have been attacked by the German airdrop team. I ask you to allow me to take people."
Go rescue them."
Regarding Sokov's request, Vlasov did not immediately agree. Instead, he looked at Karelin who had just arrived and said, "Comrade Captain, I wonder if you can send manpower to rescue our reconnaissance team?"
Karelin glanced at Sokov, then rested his eyes on Vlasov: "Comrade General, the German airdrop team usually consists of a dozen people. In order to rescue our comrades, I am willing to invest as much as possible
strength. But considering that it is still dark, if there are too many troops, it will not be conducive to command, so I only provide two platoons to follow Captain Sokov on the rescue mission."
Sokov felt that Karelin was right. This unit had just merged with his own unit and were not familiar with each other. If they rushed into battle like this, there would definitely be huge problems with coordination. There were too many people involved in the battle.
Chaos may occur due to poor command. If this happens, let alone destroying the enemy, they may even be beaten around by the enemy.
Therefore, he readily agreed: "Comrade Captain, thank you. Two platoons of soldiers are enough."
In this way, Sokov led two platoons of soldiers and rushed towards the direction where the explosion came from.
After walking in the dense forest for seven or eight minutes, gunshots and explosions suddenly came from the front. It should be Chuersin's reconnaissance team and the German airdrop team that captured it. Thinking of this, he urged the soldiers behind him: "Comrades
, our comrades-in-arms are being attacked by the Germans and are now in danger. Everyone speed up and rescue them as soon as possible."
Hearing what Sokov said, those soldiers immediately quickened their pace, preparing to rush over to join their comrades and eliminate those damn Germans.
Soon, the soldiers at the front exchanged fire with the enemy.
Sokov listened to the gunfire and found that apart from the sound of the Mosin-Nagant rifle, there was only the roar of the MP40 submachine gun. Just based on these gunshots, it can be judged that the equipment of the German airborne troops is not bad.
All MP40 submachine guns.
Sokov knew very well in his heart that all the troops could not be deployed at all, so he divided his troops into three groups. One group rushed to the fighting area, and the other two groups detoured from the left and right wings respectively. They must surround the enemy and let them escape.
None of them can escape.
Just as Sokov expected, a German airdrop team of more than a dozen people encountered Chulsin's reconnaissance team. The Germans first attacked with mortars, causing one death and one injury to the reconnaissance team. Chulsin and others
The men immediately dispersed and fired, using the dense bushes as cover, and started a battle with the German airdrop team.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The German airdrop team never dreamed that the mantises and cicadas were behind them. They concentrated their efforts on attacking Chuersin and others, and they did not even realize that they had become
Before they could make any further progress, they were made dumplings by the people brought by Sokov.
The battle was over in just ten minutes. After all, nearly a hundred people were fighting against a dozen others, and they were still using sneak attack tactics. If they couldn't win, Sokov could choke himself to death by peeing.
Chulsin, who was in a desperate situation, never dreamed that he would be unable to stop the German attack and that a group of his own people would be killed behind the Germans. After the battle, Chulsin and the surviving scouts did not
He stood up immediately to avoid being accidentally injured. Instead, he lay down and waited quietly. After the opponent's commander appeared, it was not too late to show up again.
Unexpectedly, when he was trying to observe, he heard a familiar voice from the crowd: "Qurxin, Qurxin, where are you? Qurxin..."
After hearing Sokov's voice, Chursin couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly agreed: "Comrade Captain, I'm here." Although he replied, he did not stand up immediately because there were soldiers searching nearby.
If a captured enemy stands up hastily, the nearby soldiers may become nervous and shoot directly at him.
Sokov heard Chursin's answer, but never saw anyone. He was a little angry at first, but then he thought about it, maybe the other party was worried about causing misunderstanding, and quickly shouted: "Chursin, you come from the hiding place
Stand up and let me see where you are? Move slowly when you stand up, so that you won't be regarded as an enemy by our soldiers."
Chursin followed Sokov's suggestion and stood up slowly. After standing up, he stood still and shouted to Sokov: "Comrade Captain, I am here."
After confirming Chulsin's position, Sokov quickly stepped forward, patted the opponent's arm with open hands, and asked with concern: "You are not injured, are you?"
"No." Qurxin shook his head, then looked down at his comrades who fell on the ground, and said sadly: "Except for me and one wounded soldier, all the other comrades have died."
"In war, someone will always die." Sokov was most concerned about Chuersin's safety. He did not pay so much attention to the life and death of the other members of the reconnaissance team: "Come, follow me to see the commander, and take you
Report the intelligence detected to him."
When Chursin followed Sokov to the camping site, he looked at the commanders and soldiers around him, and asked Sokov with some surprise: "Comrade Captain, I see that these people around me are all unfamiliar faces. It seems that I have never seen them before. Are they from there?"
Where did it come from?"
"They are troops from Belopoliye, and they came specifically to find the whereabouts of the commander." Sokov said with emotion: "Without this troops by my side, I really wouldn't be able to come over when you are in danger.
Support you."
Soon, Sokov brought Chursin to Vlasov and reported to him: "Comrade Commander, the reconnaissance team I sent to the northeast has returned. Do you have any questions?
, just ask Chuersin."
Vlasov nodded, looked at Qursin and asked: "Comrade Qursin, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard."
"Can you tell me what you have detected?"
"Report to Comrade Commander." Chursin quickly reported to Vlasov: "We went to the northeast to conduct reconnaissance and found that our troops were stationed there. However, because there was a German defense zone in the middle, we could not go there.
We have made contact with them, so it is still unclear what kind of troops they are.”
Although he did not get a satisfactory answer from Chursin, Vlasov was not discouraged at all. He turned to look at Karelin and asked: "Comrade Captain, I now know who the troops stationed in Belopoliye are."
The 40th Army Group you belong to. Can you tell me what other troops are nearby?"
Karelin also heard what Chursin said. At this moment, when he heard Vlasov asking himself, he quickly replied: "To the south of us is the 21st Army Group commanded by General Gordov. They are responsible for the defense of Greece."
Shaji. I think the troops of our army that this soldier comrade saw may be part of the 21st Group."
"Comrade Commander," Colonel Del interjected and asked: "We can now confirm that there are troops of our army in the north and northeast. I wonder where you plan to go?"
Vlasov glanced at Colonel Der, and then said slowly: "Comrade Chief of Staff, didn't you listen to Chursin saying that there is a German defense line between us and our troops? If we want
Heading to the northeast and joining up with the 21st Group Army, we must find a way to pass through the German defense lines. Do you think we can successfully break through the German defense lines with our current strength?"
Colonel Del thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible." He turned his attention to Captain Karelin: "The troops brought by the captain are affiliated with the 40th Group Army and are escorting us to the 21st Group Army.
, is obviously inappropriate. So I think the best option is to go north into the defense area of the 40th Group Army and get rid of the German encirclement."
"Yes, you have the same idea as me." Vlasov nodded and said, "I also think entering Belopoliye is our best choice." He looked up at the sky and continued.
, "Now that the reconnaissance team has returned, I think it's almost time. Let's set off now."
Ten minutes later, the assembled troops set off.
In order to ensure the safety of the march, Captain Karelin divided the troops into three echelons: the first company was the first echelon, walking at the front to explore the road; the second company was the second echelon, walking with Vlasov and Sokov's troops
In the middle, they are responsible for protecting the safety of the target; the third company is the third echelon, responsible for breaking up the rear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the beginning, Karelin was still in the first echelon. After walking for a while, he came to the second echelon, found Sokov, and tentatively
Question: "Captain Sokov, I want to ask you something, and I hope you can answer me truthfully."
"Excuse me, Comrade Captain." Sokov made a gesture of invitation toward Karelin.
"After General Vlasov arrives in our defense area, he will either be sent to the front army headquarters, or he will be sent directly back to Moscow." Karelin looked at Sokov and asked: "What will you do then?
Are you going to follow him, or are you willing to stay in our army?"
Sokov knew a little bit about the commander of the 40th Group Army, Major General Podras. This man had been an army commander as early as the 1930s and had participated in the Zhanggufeng Battle. Because he criticized the battle in public
The commander gave blind orders and was dismissed
After serving as commander of the 40th Group Army, despite his best efforts, he returned to the army and was awarded the rank of major general.
Way to stop the German attack.
In March 1942, he was appointed by Timoshenko as the commander of the 57th Army and participated in the Second Battle of Kharkov. But regrettably, the Soviet army initially had the advantage but ended in a disastrous defeat.
In the battle of , as the commander of the 57th Group Army, he was caught in the encirclement of the German army. During the breakout operation, he was unfortunately shot and died.
Although Sokov didn't want to follow Vlasov, generals like Podras had no attraction for him. At this moment, he eagerly hoped that he could follow Vlasov back to Moscow to see if he could
I met Rokossovsky by chance. After all, only by embracing the thigh of the future marshal can I achieve anything.
Therefore, he politely declined Karelin's invitation: "Comrade Captain, thank you for your kindness. Since my responsibility is to protect General Vlasov's safety, I will go wherever he goes."
