Chapter 522: The Engineer Rescued
Looking at the speeding armored car, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Oh my God, could it be the reflection of the telescope lenses that was discovered by the Germans hiding in the settlements? But when I looked up at the sky, I didn't think it was like it, the sun hadn't come out yet, how could there be reflections?
After a brief moment of panic, I regained my composure, and as I watched the German armoured car move closer and closer, I took the muzzle of my submachine gun out of the bushes and aimed it at the German soldiers sitting in the compartment.
The armored car drove to a place about ten meters from the forest, suddenly made a sharp turn, and came to a stop. Because the car turned too sharply, the German soldiers in the carriage were thrown together by the huge inertia. Then I heard the soldiers start shouting loudly, and although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I guessed they were cursing the driver.
After a while, several soldiers pushed the car door and jumped out of the car. But instead of immediately forming a battle formation and searching the forest, they huddled together in a chaotic manner under the car.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in my heart what are these Germans doing, rushing over in an armored car, and after getting out of the car, they huddle together idly and chat, they won't run to the forest early in the morning to pick mushrooms, right? If they came to pick mushrooms, they wouldn't be armed with guns, but with shovels and cloth bags.
Just when I was confused, I saw a man get out of the armored car, to be precise, pushed down, and after his feet touched the ground, he did not stand on his feet, and under the action of inertia, he rushed forward two steps. Then he fell to the ground. When the surrounding German soldiers saw that this man had fallen into the mud, they immediately burst into laughter, and they all leaned forward and fell back with laughter.
"Damn the Germans!" Titov, who was beside me, suddenly scolded softly.
Hearing this scolding from Titov. Let me turn my attention from the group of German soldiers to the man who fell. The man sat up with his hands on his feet, spat on the dirt, straightened his round-rimmed glasses to the side, slowly got up from the ground, and then turned and shouted at the German soldiers.
When I saw that the man was wearing the uniform of our army, I instinctively thought that this was a captured soldier. But I heard what he was shouting at the Germans. I can't help but waver in my opinion. Because he didn't speak Russian, but a language I didn't understand, I heard him from the German soldiers. Judging by the reaction to the laughter, he must have spoken German. What is a man who speaks German so fluently, and the German soldiers treat him so rudely?
At this moment, an officer wearing a large-brimmed hat jumped from the armored car. I guess he was the one who pushed the glasses warrior down just now. After he got out of the car. He tugged at the hem of his shirt and straightened his hat, then strode over to the warrior and kicked him in the stomach without saying a word.
The Spectacled Warrior immediately bent over in pain and vomited violently. However, he didn't seem to have eaten for a long time, so he vomited for a long time, and nothing came out except for vomiting some water.
See your own masterpiece. The officer smirked triumphantly, along with his laughter. The soldiers around him burst out laughing. After laughing for a while, the officer called out to one of the soldiers and leaned in close to his ear to say a few words. Then the soldier walked up to the warrior, said something in a loud voice, and then pushed him hard with his hand.
The warrior turned around, covered his abdomen with his hands, and slowly walked towards the forest, the German soldier following behind, the muzzle of a submachine gun pointed at his back. The soldier walked a dozen steps, and when he saw that he was about to enter the forest, seeing that there was no movement behind him, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at the German soldiers who were following behind. But the German soldier poked him hard at him with the muzzle of his submachine gun and shouted at him again.
The fighters continued to walk towards our positions, while the Germans stayed where they were, pulling the bolt of their guns.
Hell, the damn Germans are trying to shoot our fighters here, and just as I thought about it, the Germans have already fired. When I heard the gunshot, I trembled with nervousness and almost pulled the trigger.
After the gunshots rang out, the soldier was still standing and falling, just shuddering. What's going on? I asked myself, could it be that this German soldier's marksmanship was so bad that he couldn't hit the target so closely?
At this time, a series of gunshots rang out, and I looked at it and saw that the German soldiers were shooting into the sky. After firing a shuttle of bullets, the German soldier put the submachine gun with the muzzle still smoking, put it on his shoulder, pointed it deep into the forest, and shouted something at the frightened soldiers.
The bespectacled warrior looked back at the soldier, and then took a few trembling steps, and without hearing any more gunshots behind him, he sped up and ran, and he ran past me as fast as he could, and quickly ran into the depths of the forest.
The soldier who had fired the shot returned to his companions, and after a few laughs, a group of people climbed into the armored car. After all the officers and men got into the car, the armored car turned around and drove towards the residential area. German armoured vehicles drove into the settlements and quickly disappeared behind several buildings.
When I saw the armored car in the distance, my heart suddenly relaxed, and I felt a cold feeling on my back, which must have been soaked with cold sweat. I rolled over and lay on my back, gasping for air so that my beating heart could return to normal sooner.
Just as I was relaxing, I saw Titov suddenly stand up and bend down and run towards the depths of the forest, where the other four fighters were lurking. What is he going to do? I thought so, sat up abruptly, and guessed as I looked at his back in the distance.
"Comrade division commander," Gaidar came to my side at some point, and whispered to me, "the soldier who ran into the forest just now is our missing engineer Mihayev. ”
"What?" After hearing Gaidar's words, I was taken aback, pointed to the depths of the forest, and asked uncertainly: "Comrade Captain, you said that the soldier with glasses who ran towards the forest is the engineer we sent a dozen search teams to search for all night?" ”
"Exactly, Comrade Division Commander." Gaidar gave me an affirmative answer. Then he said worriedly: "It seems that the reason we can't find Mihayev is because he was captured by the Germans." You know, he's one of those who knows the plan of attack. If he had leaked this secret to the Germans, we would not have been able to fight for a few days. ”
After listening to Gaidar's words, my heart could not help but sink, judging by the situation just now, the engineers had been in the hands of the Germans for at least several hours, and in such a long time, no matter how long the plan was. It is estimated that he has almost confessed. However, the Germans usually dealt with prisoners who were of little use to them: one was to send them to the prisoner camps; The second is to be dragged directly outside and shot. But the Germans released him, what the hell is going on?
"Comrade division commander. What should we do? Gaidar asked worriedly: "If the battle plan is revealed, do we still need to continue to reconnoitre?" ”
I was a little at a loss as to what to do with this sudden accident, but now Gaidar complained to me. I thought of a buffer. Hurriedly comforted him and said, "Comrade Captain, don't be impatient. None of us know what happened to the engineer after it fell into the hands of the enemy. But now Commissar Titov has already brought people to chase him, and when the engineer is arrested and asked, everything will be clear. ”
When Gaidar heard me say this, he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay." Now it seems that this is the only way to go. "Finished. He crept back to his hiding spot again.
After Gaidar left, I continued to lie on the ground, waiting for news from Titov. I was still thinking about the possibility of leaking secrets by engineers, and after thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly thought about it, and leaked secrets, no big deal, many things, can't be transferred by people's wishes. A successful plan will always succeed; If you can't succeed in a plan, you can't succeed no matter how hard you try. Since something happens, you have to face it bravely, and avoiding it will never solve the problem.
After waiting for about ten minutes, just as I was about to lose my patience, a soldier bent down and ran to my side, crouched down and whispered to me: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, Commissar Titov, please come over, we have caught the man who ran into the forest just now." "Hearing that I had caught the engineer, I quickly got up from the ground, followed the warrior, and bent down and ran deeper into the forest.
We walked about a hundred or two hundred meters before we saw Titov standing next to a tree, and at his feet sat the bespectacled warrior, and around the warrior stood three armed warriors, all of whom pointed their guns at the warrior, as if to prevent him from suddenly jumping up and running away.
I walked forward quickly and asked in a low voice: "Commissar Titov, what the hell is going on?" ”
Titov pointed to the warrior sitting and said indignantly: "I didn't expect this kid's mouth to be quite hard, after our warrior caught him, he interrogated him here for a long time, and he didn't say a word." ”
I looked at the bespectacled soldier sitting on the ground, waved his hand to Titov, and said: "Comrade commissar, leave it to me here." After saying that, without waiting for Titov to say anything, I walked up to the fighter, squatted down, raised my hand to pluck a few leaves from his head, and then asked casually: "Engineer Mihayev, where did you run last night?" So much so that we sent a dozen search teams to look for you all night. ”
Hearing that I called his name accurately, Mihayev, who had a stern expression, couldn't help but tremble, and asked nervously and loudly: "Who are you and why do you know my name?" ”
I snorted softly and said lightly, "Since you don't know me, then I'll introduce myself." My name is Oshanina, and I am the commander of an independent division. And you, Mihayev, are a soldier of the 4th Regiment of the Independent Division, and you came to the settlement to reconnoiter the enemy situation on the order of the regiment commander, Captain Gaidar, right? ”
"You're the division commander?" Mihayev obviously hadn't let his guard down yet, and asked tentatively: "It won't be because I'm missing that you went out here to reconnoiter in person, right?" ”
Instead of answering his question directly, I asked, "What do you say?" ”
He shook his head vigorously and said loudly, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. I'm just an insignificant prisoner, whether I'm missing or dead, no one will care, how can the division commander personally go out to find me? ”
"Comrade Mihayev, how is it impossible? I told your regimental commanders and company commanders that you are all my subordinates, as long as you don't run away on the battlefield because of greed for life and fear of death. Or if you defect to the enemy, no matter what happens, I will keep you safe. He said. I stood up, pointed to Titov next to me and continued, "Comrade engineer, please look up and look for you, besides me, there are also the political commissars of the divisions of friendly forces. And then there's your regimental commander, Gaidar. He's on a reconnaissance mission right now, and he'll be over later. ”
Hearing that Gaidar was also coming, Mihayev's eyes lit up. Surprised, he asked, "Is this true?" Comrade Captain will be here later? ”
"Yes, it's all true!" I replied lightly.
The engineer, who was originally depressed, actually perked up when he heard that his regiment commander was coming. Got up from the ground. Took a step closer to me. The surrounding warriors thought that he had some bad intentions and shouted loudly. I hurriedly raised my hand and gestured to several fighters to put their guns down so that they would not accidentally go off.
When the fighters had lowered their guns, I raised my chin at Mihayev and said encouragingly: "Tell me, Comrade Engineer, while waiting for your regimental commander to arrive. Tell us about your experience that night. ”
Mihayev looked warily at the warriors with guns around him, and refused to speak. Seeing that he is still wary of us. I had no choice but to turn to Titov and say: "Comrade commissar, please let your fighters leave first, they are here, and our engineers are a little nervous. After hearing this, Titov nodded slightly, and made a gesture to the warriors, who put away their weapons and turned away.
As soon as the fighters had gone away, Mihayev began to tell us about his adventures last night: "...... When the Ministry of Internal Affairs team caught us, they said that we had no papers on us and that we must be deserters. Although I repeatedly explained to them that we were carrying out a reconnaissance mission assigned by our superiors, they ignored it at all, and instead said that I was quibbling and trying to cover up the fact that we were deserters with the reason for carrying out the mission.
Since the Warlords decided that we were deserters, the commander of the team decided to summarily execute all of us. In the midst of this chaos, someone knocked down the fighters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs beside him, pulled out his legs and ran away. As soon as he ran, the people of the reconnaissance detachment immediately ran in all directions as if they had blown up a nest. I also took advantage of the fact that the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not paying attention, and turned around and ran.
I hadn't gone far before I heard a dense burst of gunfire from behind. Because we came out on a mission this time, we were carrying rifles, and judging from the sound of the gunshots, it was clear that the machine guns of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were strafing. I was so frightened that I didn't care what I was running towards, I just buried my head and ran forward. ”
"How did you get caught by the Germans?" When I heard him say this, I couldn't help but interject and ask.
"In the process of escaping, I lost my way and before I knew it, I ran near this settlement. When I saw the lights shining through the colorful wooden houses on the edge of the settlement, I thought it was a local resident who had not been evacuated, so I went to knock on the door, wanting to spend the night here and wait until dawn to find a way. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, I found out that it was inhabited by Germans, and just like that, I was captured by them. ”
"Did they interrogate you?" Titov asked coldly, his voice so cold that he couldn't help but shiver. I turned my head to look at Titov and immediately understood why he was asking, and he wanted to know whether the engineer in front of me had leaked our plans for attack to the Germans.
"Yes, interrogated!" Mihayev also did not hide it and answered us honestly.
"What did you say to them?" Although I had my back to Titov, I could feel that he was asking this question with his hand on his holster, in a posture of drawing his gun at any moment.
"The German soldiers who captured me, were particularly surprised to hear that I could speak German, and took me to their commander. It was the officer who kicked me today after getting out of the armored car, and according to my observations, he was the supreme commander in this settlement. ”
"What did they ask you after you were taken to the commander?" This time, without waiting for Titov to speak, I preemptively asked.
"The commander asked me who I was and why I was here. I replied to him that I was an ordinary person who had been separated from the others because of an air raid during the evacuation to the rear. As a result, I was met with a retreating army, and because of the attrition, they arrested me and added me to the army.
As for why I came here overnight, it was because I had studied in Germany and didn't want to fight with my former friends, so I escaped from the army at night. As a result, in a situation of inconsistency and error, they broke into the German defense zone. ”
"What did the German commander say when he heard you?" I continued.
"He was skeptical of what I was saying, but when he heard me say that he had studied in Germany and spoke German fluently, he reluctantly believed what I said.
When they took me to the edge of the forest this morning, I thought they were going to shoot me. Unexpectedly, the soldier who shot me in the sky told me that because of the grace of Mr. Captain, I was free, and told me to leave here quickly and not to appear again, otherwise the next time he caught me, he would definitely shoot me. ”
Hearing him say this, I figured out what the German soldier who shot had been shouting for a long time.
"Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina," Titov asked in a low voice, approaching me, "what to do with him, should he be shot on the spot, or should he be brought back to the Overseer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" (To be continued......)
