Chapter 586

Soon after I left the station, I began to regret it. Although there is moonlight lighting, visibility is not bad, but march along the track, I was the first girl on the sedan chair, if not next to the two soldiers of the third company to take me away, I do not know how many falls.

The night was as cold as water, but my sweat kept pouring out from under the helmet. Not only was my body soaked with sweat, but also my hands were sweating. If I hadn't been afraid of shaking the morale of the army, I would have turned around and stayed in my headquarters to have a good sleep.

I didn't know how long I had been walking. Suddenly, a familiar voice came out beside me: "Sir, comrade, I can't go any further. Further ahead is the hiding place for two companies in a row. Let's hide on the hillside on the right side. "

I didn't have to look back, but I also knew that it was Mikhail who was talking. I quickly and desperately nodded and said, "OK, Lieutenant Mikhail, you go to inform the third company commander, order the troops to stop advancing, and hide on the right hillside."

"Well, comrade division commander," the voice suddenly sounded on my left side startled me. Turning around, I found that the person who helped me on the left side was actually the third company commander. "I immediately gave the order to the troops to stop and hide on the hillside."

When the third company commander went to the front to give an order, I broke away from the support of the soldiers on the right side and said, "well, soldier comrades, don't help me any more. Thank you!" With that, I wiped the sweat on my face with my sleeves, wiped my hands on my military uniform, and walked quickly up the hillside.

As soon as I got to the top of the hillside, the soldiers of the third company also ran up quickly, and quickly found their own positions to hide. Looking at mihayev and gramus standing beside me, I said to them, "you two, let's not stand here foolishly. Let's find a place to hide and observe the enemy situation by the way."

"Sir, please follow me." "When I went up the slope, I found a wonderful hiding place. I'll take you there," said Grimes politely

Grimes took me and mihayev to a pit, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Sir, this is where you can not only hide in the pit, but also observe the camp in the distance. It's a good place."

Without hesitation, I jumped into the pit first, then Mikhail and gramus jumped in. The pit is more than half a person deep. As Grimes said, you can see the Azerbaijani camp in the distance from the pit. Looking at the brightly lit camp in the distance, he turned the camera to the side of the railway. There were a lot of people busy beside the rail. It should be Oleg who led the troops to destroy the rail.

Seeing this, I can't help but secretly scold the Germans as a group of stupid pigs. They are clearly on the hillside beside the railway, but they just set up the camp on the open land without shelter. If they had camped on the mountain and had been under their surveillance for several kilometers, there would have been no way for them to carry out the destruction now. However, it is precisely because of the enemy's stupidity and negligence that we have an opportunity to take advantage of.

Looking at the camp in Azerbaijan, I murmured, "what a bunch of idiots."

The voice was small, but gramus heard it. After he asked mihayev to translate, he explained to me, "Sir, maybe you are very surprised, why are the German army and the East camp stationed in the open field?"

Hearing him say this aroused my curiosity, so I nodded desperately, and then urged him: "Captain disappeared, you tell me, why do they arrange their camp like this?"

Grimes patiently introduced to me: "Hote's tank army is a mechanized force. Only on the plain can they give full play to their advantages. If you camp in the open, even if you are attacked by the enemy, the mechanized troops in the camp can attack in time and defeat or destroy the enemy in the future. "

After listening to gramus, I nodded my head as if I didn't understand. This is the first time I've heard that.

Because it was still early to launch the attack, I looked at it for a while, put down my telescope and chatted with mihayev who was lying beside me: "Comrade mihayev, what do you think after becoming an engineer company commander?"

Mikhail yev said with a wry smile: "Sir, don't you see it now? I'm your interpreter. I'll follow you wherever you go. I don't even know where the engineer is now. "

Although he said these words in jest, I still recognized his emotion from his words, and quickly comforted him, saying: "Comrade lieutenant, don't worry, the Division has added 6000 recruits a few days ago, and they are all from Gulag concentration camp, just like you. When you go back from this mission, you can personally select the right personnel to join your engineering company. "

"That's great." When Mikhail heard the news, he almost jumped up with excitement. He supported his glasses with his hand, and then said, "the people who came out of Gulag concentration camp may have no other skills, but the level of digging trenches and repairing fortifications is really unmatched by other friendly forces."

When I raised my telescope again, I specially emphasized: "don't worry, Lieutenant mikhayev. I'll do it for you as soon as we get back to the defense area of the independent division."

The Azerbaijani camp is still brightly lit, but I saw a strange scene where hundreds of soldiers gathered in the open space between the tents, sitting up and down, sitting up and down again. When I handed the telescope to mikheiev, I said strangely, "Comrade lieutenant, come and see what these Azerbaijanis are doing when they stay up so late."

Mikhail yev took a look through the telescope and explained to me, "Sir, Azerbaijanis believe in communism. They have to worship five times a day, which are divided into morning ritual, noon ritual, breast ritual, faint ritual and night ritual. Now is the time for them to do night ritual."

I took the telescope that mihayev had handed me back and said in a low voice, "now let them worship quietly. For many of them, this is the last worship in their lives."

Mikhail EV and I stopped talking, but gramus, who had been silent all the time, began to speak. Instinctively, I turned to Mikhail next to me and waited for him to translate for me. Mikhail yev was not ambiguous, and immediately translated for me what gramus said just now: "Sir, I have a suggestion. Since you like to engage in sneak attack tactics, why not train some snipers in the army? With snipers, you can break them into small groups and go to the enemy's camp in small groups to hunt sentinels or patrol freely. "

Before he finished, I interrupted him impatiently and asked, "what are you talking about, Captain, sniper? I heard you right, sniper? "

"Yes, sir, it's a sniper." Fearing that I didn't know what a sniper was, Grimes explained: "the word sniper comes from a game played by British soldiers stationed in India around 1773, where soldiers often hunt a quick bird called snipe. Because the bird is very hard to hit, people who are good at it are called snipers. Later, sniper became the official name of professional sniper. The snipers of real modern significance first appeared in the first World War. At that time, the German army selected soldiers to form snipers of free movement. Most of them had the background of hunters and forest rangers, and caused great damage to the British, French and Russian forces in the East and West. "

Soviet snipers were famous in the battle of Stalingrad. Although I wanted to train a group of snipers for a long time, I didn't have my own troops, so this desire didn't appear. My understanding of snipers is limited. Now I listen to gramus, so I humbly ask him about snipers: "Mr. captain, what else do you know? Anyway, it's still early. Please tell me."

After hearing my question and nodding his head, Grimes talked on and on: "generally speaking, snipers can be divided into two types: one is a sniper with formal organization and complete formal sniping training, and the other is a shooter with accurate shooting skills selected temporarily in wartime. For a sniper, a strong body and iron will are the prerequisite, and good shooting is just the basic quality. For the training of snipers, in addition to implementing the concept of sniping and mastering the weapon system, they should also learn how to calculate the influence of wind difference and range, learn how to sneak forward, choose tactical mobile routes, build shooting positions, enter and withdraw positions covertly, observe and discover hidden targets, etc. Snipers should also be good at observing the war zone, determining the location of suspicious sounds, using artificial and natural materials for camouflage, being able to move quickly, and having the ability to endure long-term latency. In addition, the sniper also needs the ability to accurately interpret the map, which can often help the sniper quickly and safely enter and leave the position and battlefield. "

Although Grimes surrendered to our army, he would be sent to the prison camp according to the usual practice. If he wants to stay, he must be assigned a suitable position in the division. Since he is so familiar with the sniper's attempt, it is more appropriate to keep him as a sniper instructor. As soon as he finished, I immediately asked, "Captain, if I want to keep you in my army and be a sniper instructor, will you help us train a group of excellent snipers?" In order to show respect for him, I used honorifics in his address.

After a long time, he murmured, "Sir, I think it's better to be a company commander than an instructor."

When I heard him say that, I can't help sighing with regret. It's a pity that such excellent talents can't be used by me. What's more regrettable is that maybe after we withdraw to the division's defense area, he may be sent to the prison camp. I don't know what kind of fate he is waiting for.

Mikhail yev saw my disappointment and quickly whispered a few words to gramus. After hearing what he said, Grimes was stunned at that time, and then began to speak to Mikhail. After a few words, I saw that gramus became depressed, and then he spoke to me dejectedly.

Mikhail yev translated in time: "Sir, I promise to stay in your division as a sniper instructor. I beg you, don't send me to the prison camp. You know, I'm willing to surrender rather than being captured. There's an essential difference between the two. "

"No problem," I said to him carelessly, "please rest assured that as long as I stay in the independent division for one day, you will not be sent to the prison camp."

After expressing his gratitude to me, Grimes put forward another question: "Sir, it's easy to choose a sniper, but I see you don't have a special sniper gun?"

Listening to what he said, I also feel a headache. Under the current situation, if we want to get our much-needed sniper guns from the hands of our superior leaders, this is simply an impossible task. After thinking about it, I asked Grimes tentatively, "Captain, can you make a sniper gun out of an ordinary rifle?"

Grimes thought for a moment and replied, "if it's a close range target, it's OK. But to hit a distant target, it is necessary to install a sight on the gun body. Do you have such professionals in your division? "

He really dumb me when he asked. I don't know if there are any professionals who are familiar with firearms in the division. I carefully thought about the people I knew. Apart from the old engineer who came from the future, none of them was very familiar with firearms. When I was about to shake my head, mihayev said to me in a low voice: "Comrade division, I met an engineer in an ordnance factory in Gulag concentration camp before. He is very familiar with guns. If he is asked to install the sight glass, there will be no problem."

"Is this man in our division?" I asked curiously.

Mihayev nodded hard and replied, "yes, this man is not only in our division, but also in the station now." Seeing my excited face, he continued: "in fact, you know this man, sir."

"I know you, too? Who is it? " When I heard him say that, I thought to myself, you can't be mistaken. I really don't know any engineer in an arsenal other than the senior engineer in Moscow.

"When you got to the station yesterday, I saw the man in the same car with you, and he gave you a hand when you got off."

In my mind, I tried to reflect on who was in the compartment of the truck I was riding. After thinking for a long time, it seemed that there was only a soldier named Boris. Because I was impressed when I asked him to chop the birch as the guard of Gulag concentration camp, the rest of the people were not impressed at all. Thinking of this, I shook my head awkwardly and said, "Comrade lieutenant, I really don't remember the soldiers in the same carriage with me. Except for a soldier named Boris, I have a little impression... "

"Yes, that's him, Boris." Without waiting for me to finish, mihayev exclaimed excitedly, "Comrade division, you finally remember that this is Boris. He used to be an engineer in the ordnance factory."

"Then why was he sent to Gulag?" Since he is an important engineer, why he was caught in the concentration camp makes me feel very curious.

"I asked him several times, but he never mentioned the reason why he was put in a concentration camp. Later, I heard a difficult friend say that he was sent to the concentration camp because a batch of weapons produced by him had some faults. Someone reported to the Ministry of internal affairs that he had done damage to the weapons because of the faults. "

Hearing what happened to Boris, I can't help sighing. It's just too common in this era that I find it incredible in later generations.

Mikhail yev suddenly changed the topic: "by the way, comrade division commander, when you got off the bus, I saw your guard battalion commander captain basmanov, but why didn't he come out with you tonight?"

"Captain busmanov has suffered a little injury and has not recovered yet, so I did not let him participate in the operation tonight." After that, I told mikheiev, "go to the third company commander and ask him to contact commander Oleg to see if the communication is smooth."

When I saw mihayev get up and jump out of the pit, I grabbed his hand and said to him, "please translate for me, and let captain gramus check his communication lines to see if the communication with his former superiors is smooth." Mihayev did not hesitate to translate my words to gramus, and then he jumped out of the pit to look for the third company commander.

I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was already ten o'clock. That is to say, in half an hour, the 18 soldiers would launch a feint attack on the German camp and attract them to the Azerbaijani camp.

I raised my telescope and looked at the Azerbaijani camp. I saw that the open space between the tents had become empty. It seemed that almost all the prayer people had gone back to their tents. I hope they can rest early. When they are sleepy, our attack will cause them more chaos.

Mikhail yev jumped into the pit again and reported to me: "report to the division commander, the third company commander has been tested, and the communication with Commander Oleg is smooth."

Without looking back, I asked, "what are the three company leaders doing?"

"The third company has dug dozens of individual bunkers on the hillside. Even if the German army attacks the hillside, we can hold on for a while."

I put down my telescope, asked the location of the third company commander, and told Mikhail: "Comrade second lieutenant, you and captain Grimes stay here, I'll go to the third company commander to have a look." When mihayev answered me, I had climbed out of the pit and walked towards the position of the third company commander.

The temporary command post of the third company commander was set up in a newly dug bunker. Besides him, there was a soldier with walkie talkie on his back. Seeing me walking over, they immediately raised their hands to salute. The commander of the third company lowered his voice and said, "report to the division commander, the third company is resting in the bunker. Please give instructions!"“ Continue to rest and wait for new orders I said in an official voice. The captain quickly replied, "yes, I ordered the troops to continue to rest and stand by." I went up to the operator and told him, "Comrade soldier, contact commander Oleg immediately. I have something to say to him." The operator agreed and immediately called. Soon he handed me the earphone and the transmitter and said in a low voice, "Sir, I have contacted you. Comrade commander is waiting for you online."“ Hello, Hello, commander Oleg. This is o'shanina. Can you hear me? "“ Yes, sir. Do you have any instructions? "“ How is the track broken? "“ We've removed all the spikes from the rail at the corner. This time, we can make the Krauts have a good drink. "“ Well done After praising him, I asked a new question: "what are you going to do if the German train doesn't overturn after derailment?" Unexpectedly, Oleg said confidently: "please rest assured, sir, I buried at least 20 anti tank mines on the side of the track without spikes. Even if the train is not overturned, these mines can blow them to pieces." I was startled by his words. I didn't expect that he even used anti tank mines. It seems that he didn't intend to save the German soldiers on the train. But I remember that the division had never been equipped with anti tank mines. Where did he get them? Thinking of this, I directly asked: "I remember there were no anti tank mines in the division. Where did you get these good things?"“ Where else? " Oleg said easily: "in the depot of the station, of course. I think these are all left by our army in the warehouse. Because we retreated in a hurry and did not deal with these mines in time, they were captured by the German army. But it never occurred to the German army that soon after they occupied the station, we would fight back and make a night attack to turn the materials in the warehouse back into ours. "“ Is there any movement on the German troop train“ Not yet, but I've sent out a guard post. As soon as the enemy's train appears, our guard will send back a signal, so we can be ready to attack. " When he said that, Oleg's voice suddenly became excited. "Sir, the Sentinels have sent us a signal. They should have heard the movement on the track. The German train is coming in our direction."“ Commander Oleg, if that's the case, why do you hesitate? Send out the battle alarm immediately and make all the soldiers ready to fight. " At the end of the call with Oleg, I raised my hand again and looked at my watch. It was 10:30 in five minutes. At this moment, my heart beat faster inexplicably. I kept thinking, can the 18 soldiers lure the enemy successfully? Can the German train arrive at our ambush area on time?
