Chapter 169 Mozhaysk Defense Line
The corpses of the German soldiers were carried to the roadside one by one. The soldiers searched for useful supplies from the enemies and put them in their arms.
Alexey took off the grenade from the opponent's waist, hung it on himself, and took out tobacco and sugar from an officer's arms, while Sergei beside him was standing beside a German sergeant. Know what's going on.
"Hey, brother! Come here and help me, this thing is too tight." Sergey greeted his friend.
Alexey approached and found that Sergei was holding the corpse's neck hard. It turned out that the sergeant's necklace was not an ordinary military card, but a unique ring.
The young acting squad leader was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should stop this behavior. At this time, the Oriental man on the side spoke first.
"It's better not to take this thing and bury it together." He Chi's tone was emotionless.
“But, Comrade Commissioner, this looks like gold...” Sergey wanted to explain something else.
He Chi squatted down and raised his finger to point at the necklace, "Look clearly, this is a female ring. It was given to him by his wife or lover. If you insist on taking this kind of thing and go to the battlefield... "
A gust of wind blew through the woods. Sergey looked at the ring in front of him and quickly stuffed it into the arms of the deceased.
All the supplies were looted, and what was left was the biggest trophy - the three tanks.
An anti-tank grenade was thrown directly into the interior of the No. 4 tank, and two were stuffed under the tracks. With a loud bang, the two captured tanks turned into a pile of scrap metal. .
“Comrade Commissioner, why don’t we keep all the tanks?” Sergey on the side asked somewhat depressedly.
German tanks! Still three cars! The military merit of turning a capture into a destruction is not that great.
"What do you think? Alexei?" He Chi asked the young man on the side. The temporary squad leader, who was less than twenty years old, had been in a state of thinking since just now.
Alexey hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth and said: "Comrade Commissioner, I haven't thought it through completely, but I guess it's for safety?"
He Chi nodded: "Absolutely, we don't have the ability. It is very dangerous to take away three tanks at the same time and forcefully obtain something that you cannot get."
"There is a saying in the East that it is better to have one bird in the hand than two birds in the forest. We have already made a profit by getting one."
Then the Oriental people turned over and jumped into the remaining The Panzer IV tank that got off the ground, under the surprised eyes of everyone, the armored beast with the Iron Cross logo rumbled into action.
Rows of small trees were crushed, and the captured tanks were hidden in the woods. The soldiers used dead branches and leaves to cover the appearance of the No. 4 tank with pieces of camouflage. When all the work was done, At this time, He Chi picked up a grenade and hung a booby trap near the hatch cover.
"If it is taken back by the Germans, it will be considered a gift." He Chi said.
A few people started on the road again. Alexei opened his mouth several times while moving forward, but stopped talking.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" He Chi turned his head and looked at the young man.
"Comrade Commissioner, what did you say to the Germans before the battle? Can they just put down their weapons and get together?" This is something the young student soldiers have never thought about. Logically speaking, these armored soldiers They were all the elites of Germany, and their experience was incomparable to that of rookies like myself. Why did they make such a stupid mistake of dropping their weapons?
"It's very simple, because I said I have what they want most in my hands." He patted the satchel next to him.
"The thing you want most? Is it money?"
"No." He Chi shook his head and took out a piece of tissue paper from the satchel next to him. "Is it a letter?"
"Yes, it is a letter. I said that I was a communications soldier on the front line escorting letters. I asked them to see if there is a letter from home in the bag. All Everyone is coming over," He Chi said in an emotionless tone.
That’s it!
Being in a different place, I would have had the same reaction if I received a letter from my distant hometown, but this also gave Alexey an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Contacting the ring, he realized that the legendary invaders who chose people to eat were also people with emotions like himself.
"Do you feel that I am despicable by using this method?" He Chi suddenly asked.
Alexey nodded subconsciously, and then hurriedly denied, "No, Comrade Commissioner, I definitely didn't mean that!"
"It's nothing, I don't mind. But you have to know, This is how it is on the battlefield. If you want to save yourself, you must defeat the opponent by any means, but don’t forget it.”
He Chi's words made Alexei fall into deep thought again, so much so that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.
He Chi beside him suddenly pulled him and Sergey at the front, and the two of them were thrown to the ground.
Alexey looked up in confusion and found a brown landmine buried in the grass a few meters away.
He almost stepped on it himself.
A few people looked up and saw that various landmines were dropped everywhere on the road that was about a few hundred meters wide. Most of them were not buried at all and were just plainly placed on the ground.
"The ones on the surface are American-made anti-tank mines. If these people step on them, they won't explode. There should be various anti-infantry mines in the dark. This mixed method of laying mines will increase the difficulty of demining and reduce the risk of demining." The number of people defending."
He Chi let out a sigh of relief, "Everyone, we are here."
Brush! The figures in the two woods shook, and a row of Soviet soldiers in camouflage stood up!
——
Ten minutes later, in a small town behind the minefield, there was a dilapidated church that was temporarily used as a headquarters.
"Comrade Commissioner, welcome to your arrival! I am the regiment leader here, Vlalyushenko, and next to me is the political commissar Donatrovsky." A lieutenant colonel stretched out his hand and shook it tightly with He Chi. , with a very excited expression on his face, "I want to say thank you on behalf of the comrades. Moscow has not forgotten us and allowed you to come with reinforcements at such a tense time."
“Please wait a moment!” He Chi raised his hand to stop the other party’s warm welcome. “Do you mean you haven’t seen anyone else before?”
“No, you are the one I met. The first batch of reinforcements to arrive." After the lieutenant colonel said this, not only He Chi but also the expressions on the faces of Alexey and others behind him began to become gloomy.
The Guards Cavalry Battalion should have arrived long ago.
"We received a telegram before, saying that a battalion will be transferred to us from the direction of Moscow. You know that the soldiers have been working too hard during this period..." The lieutenant colonel was probably a little excited, but he still didn't notice it at this time. The person opposite is not in the right mood.
"By the way, Comrade Commissioner, where are your soldiers? After traveling for such a long time, let me ask you to have something to eat first."
"Probably these are the people..." He Chi pointed at the people behind him. A classmate said.
