Chapter 708

Karpov looked at me in astonishment, as if thinking whether what I said was true or false, because what I said was beyond his comprehension. After a long hesitation, he asked carefully, "are you telling the truth, Colonel?"

"Yes." I gave him a positive answer very directly: "what I said is the truth. If I had no sincerity, I would not come to you today."

"Colonel, I can feel your sincerity from the moment you come here." There was a smile on Karpov's face“ So next, we should be able to discuss the details of how to get out of this ghost place. "

From Karpov's words, I can see that the sincerity expressed by myself has dispelled his worries and further won his trust. I mentioned the two proposals just now again. I hope he can choose one of them so that we can improve the details of the action in the next talks.

To his surprise, Karpov shook his head and said casually, "Colonel, I don't think these two plans are perfect. If we want to put them into practice, no matter our battalion or the troops we are going to meet, we may have a fierce battle with the German forces around us. Once a fight starts, the whole army is likely to be destroyed. Even if we get out of the encirclement by chance, the army will be completely lost. "

His words aroused my curiosity. My fingers quickly drew a question mark on the table in front of me. At the same time, I asked curiously, "Captain Karpov, do you have a better plan?"

"It's no surprise!" Karpov confidently said, his mouth slightly upturned, his face with a smile that made me unpredictable, "I also prepared a plan to get out of danger, compared with your plan, the risk is right, our troops can even arrive at your battlefield without firing a shot."

"Oh, I'm curious to hear that. Can you tell me your plan? " Karpov's confident face made me more interested in his plan.

"Here you are," he suddenly stood up, leaning forward and pointing a position up with his hand. I quickly tilted my head and looked in the direction of his finger, only to hear him say: "two kilometers southwest of our camp, there is a camp in which an Italian army is stationed."

When I heard him say this, I nodded, took over and said, "well, I know this Italian battalion. They are in charge of the German military supplies. Due to the strict security, our reconnaissance troops failed to sneak in. But I don't understand. Does the Italian battalion have anything to do with your escape? "

"Of course," Karpov said in a positive tone, looking at my face with a blank expression, he quickly explained to me, "well, Colonel oshanina, there is a contradiction between the Italian camp and the nearby Germans. It used to be a German camp because of frequent conflicts with Italians. In the end, the German commander had to transfer our camp to ease the conflict between the two armies. "

Although Karpov didn't finish what he said, I knew what he meant by the string song. Suddenly, my eyes lit up and I asked, "do you mean to let the Germans and Italians clash again and divert the attention of the German commanders, so that you will have a chance to slip out of the place where the German defense is lax?"

"Absolutely right." seeing that I had guessed what he wanted to say, Karpov was so happy that he praised me repeatedly. "Captain, you are so clever. You guessed my plan before I finished my words."

After he said this, I couldn't help falling into silence. Although his plan is very original, first of all, we should try every means to stir up conflicts between the German and Italian armies and make the situation chaotic. Only when they have the opportunity to slip away. But how can I start a conflict between the two armies? Can't I take a group of commanders and fighters to the Italian camp, spit at them and throw stones? Of course, we don't have to yell outside the camp. For one thing, we are pretending to be German troops, and we are not fighting between the two countries. We don't have to yell outside; Secondly, communication between Italian camp and German camp must be smooth. Maybe before we sell a few words, the SS or Gestapo will come and kill us all.

Seeing that I had not spoken for a long time, Karpov suddenly thought of something and asked, "Comrade Colonel, do you think that even if there is a quarrel between the Germans and the Italians, we will not have an opportunity?"

Although I heard that his conjecture was somewhat biased, during my contact with him, I felt that he was still a very independent commander. His opinions were very important on how to get rid of the danger of Dongfang camp, so I pushed the boat along the river and said, "yes, that's what I thought. I don't know if you have a better idea? "

"It's very simple, because the Italians are in a position right behind the 44th division. Once there is a conflict, in order to prevent the situation from expanding, the enemy is bound to send back some troops from the front line to guard against it. At this time, I can report to the German commander through the soldier inspection team and apply to replace the forward defense of the 44th division. With the approval, we can go to the front. Even without you sending troops to meet us, we can pretend to attack and quickly rush into the defense area of the independent division. "

Karpov's plan is not only ingenious, but also quite bold. If there is a mistake in one link, it is also the result of losing all previous achievements. However, compared with the two proposals I put forward first, they are more operational. So I only considered them for a moment, and then I agreed without hesitation: "Captain Karpov, your proposal is good, so we will focus on this topic in our next discussion."

Without waiting for Karpov to declare his position, safchenko, who had been guarding the door, suddenly lifted the curtain and came in, muttering: "hell, there is a moon in the sky, how can it suddenly rain." While talking, he patted the rain on his shoulders.

Originally, I wanted to ask safchenko to come in and have a look when I discussed Zi Chou Yin Mao with Karpov. Since he came in himself, I didn't need to call him again. I beckoned him to the table.

Safchenko came over and asked politely, "what can I do for you, sir?"

"And captain Grimes?" I asked.

"Didn't you just send him to take some people to watch the Germans in the soldiers' monitoring group?" Safchenko listened to my question. Although he looked surprised, he replied honestly, "he should still be on surveillance duty now."

"Just now captain Karpov put forward a plan to get out of trouble. Come and have a look. By the way, tell me your personal thoughts." With these words, I will just repeat the original proposal put forward by Karpov.

After staring at the map for a long time, safchenko finally nodded his head slowly and expressed his opinion: "Comrade division commander, I think captain Karpov's proposal is very good. If the Germans really transfer their troops to the front line, it is a very simple thing for them to hold a meeting anyway and successfully enter our division's defense area." At this point, he pauses for a moment, frowning, "but what can we do to bring conflict between the Germans and the Italians? If they don't have a conflict, Captain Karpov's rash request to the German commander will arouse the enemy's unnecessary suspicion of him. "

"Yes, comrade safchenko." With a deep sigh, I said, "I've never thought of a way to stir up conflicts between the enemies. Do you have any good suggestions? "

Safchenko shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Sir, you can't think of a way to do it, let alone say it."

The three of US continued to discuss for a long time, but we didn't come up with a practical and effective way. We had to study my original plan again, focusing on how to improve the details.

After daybreak, a tired looking Grimes came into the tent and reported to me, "report, sir, I have finished my task and come back. It's late. It's time for us to go back. "

Listening to gramus' poor Russian, I felt very upset, so I said to him angrily, "Captain gramus, the next time you see an interpreter with me, please speak German, so that I won't have to work hard."

Some words were incomprehensible to Grimes, so he quickly asked safchenko what he meant. When he understood what I meant, he came to attention and said in a loud voice, "yes!"

When we returned, gramus was still in the co pilot's seat, and safchenko and I, as well as a dozen former German soldiers, were sitting in the carriage. Seeing that I was depressed, safchenko comforted me with kindness and said, "don't worry, sir. When you get back to the camp, you can discuss with the political commissar and chief of staff to see if there is any good way."

After a pause, I asked him, "is our truck coming back the same way?"

He shook his head and replied, "no, we are now heading for the German 44th division's defence area and returning to our highlands from around highland 107.5."

I nodded and didn't speak. Then I closed my eyes and began to close my eyes to make up for the sleep I had last night.

I don't know how long I drove. The truck bumped and bumped my head against the side baffle of the car. Because of the heavy impact, although I was wearing a helmet, I was still dazzled.

All of a sudden, a loud roar came from the back of the car, which startled all the people in the car. The two soldiers sitting on the rear fender also lifted the awning cloth to see what happened. I stood up with the baffle and looked out along the open tarpaulin at the back of the car. I saw several officers and soldiers in Italian uniforms standing beside a puddle, dancing and yelling at our car.

"What's going on?" I asked safchenko strangely.

He shook his head, then went to one of the soldiers and asked a few questions. Then he came back to me and reported to me, "Comrade division, when our car passed the Italian soldiers on guard, it accidentally splashed the water in the puddle on them. They were angry about it." Then he said to himself, "isn't it worth making such a fuss that he splashed a little water on himself?"

Safchenko's words made me feel like there was no way out. At that moment, I thought of a way to stir up the conflict between the German army and the Italian army. So I said to safchenko excitedly: "safchenko, let captain gramus stop and reverse the car."

Although safchenko didn't know why I gave such an order, he raised his hand and patted the top of the cockpit hard. When gramus opened the door and poked his head out of the car, safchenko gave him my order. Without saying a word, Grimes immediately ordered the driver to stop and quickly backed away to the Italian soldiers. Seeing the truck getting closer and closer to the Italian soldiers, safchenko asked me, "what should we do when the truck comes to them?"“ Get all the soldiers out of the car and beat up the Italian sentinels
