"Quiet, comrades commanders, please keep quiet!" As soon as Sokov spoke, the room returned to calm. Everyone looked at him, quietly waiting for him to issue combat orders.
Sokov's eyes swept over the commanders in the room one by one, and then began to give orders: "This task of seizing the German warehouse will be completed by the first company, the third company and the first machine gun company, and the second company will stay in the prisoner of war camp. "
"Comrade Battalion Commander," Andrei heard that Sokov asked him to lead the team and stayed. He didn't care about the meeting and quickly raised his voice and said: "Our company's combat effectiveness is one of the best in the battalion. How can you put us Are you going to stay as a garrison?" The other company commanders were not happy with Andre's statement. They all stood up and spoke back to Andre, and the room suddenly became noisy like a vegetable market.
Sokov slammed the table and said sternly: "Shut up!" After the room regained calm, he continued, "You must remember your identities. You are company-level commanders, not a tavern." Drunkards, why are you making so much noise here? Sit down!" The commanders who had been criticized did not dare to refute, so they all sat down with red faces.
Seeing that the commanders were silent, Sokov continued to assign tasks: "There are only five covered trucks in the prisoner of war camp. It is obviously unrealistic for everyone to ride to the German warehouse. Therefore, a company We and the machine gun company each assigned a platoon to ride in the car, and the remaining troops and the third company followed on the sled."
When the company commanders got up and walked out, Sokov said to Agelina: "Agelina, you are the only one here who knows the way to the warehouse. Can you please be our guide?"
"No problem," Agelina nodded and said cheerfully: "I'll go pack it up and then I'll set off with you."
The prisoner of war camp was more than 20 kilometers away from the warehouse. Most of the roads were covered with snow. For safety reasons, trucks drove very slowly. Sokov and Agelina were sitting in the cab of the first truck. In order to kill the boring time, he casually asked Agelina, who was sitting between him and the driver: "Agelina, are we going this time?" There may be danger in the warehouse, are you afraid?"
"There is nothing to be afraid of," Agelina said with a wry smile: "Compared with living among the enemy, I would rather attack the enemy's transportation lines every day, lay mines, burn down their warehouses, like other comrades who stay behind enemy lines. Same, holding weapons and fighting the enemy face to face.
Comrade Battalion Commander, do you know? In order to obtain that important information, I had to participate in various interrogations by the Germans, watch them torture our people, and translate what they said; at the same time, I had to endure the malicious insults I received from my own people because of misunderstandings... ...If you hadn't liberated the prisoner-of-war camp in time, I think my nerves would no longer be able to support it..." After Agelina said this, she threw herself into Sokov's arms and burst into tears.
The driver was selected from the rescued commanders and fighters. Because he did not understand the truth, he had always hated Agelina, who served as a translator for the Germans. Seeing that Agelina actually got into the car he drove, he felt even more angry. If he hadn't seen the battalion commander, Captain Sokov, also in the car, he would have hit the big tree on the roadside without hesitation. , knock this woman to death first. But after listening to Agelina's story, he immediately realized that he had wrongly blamed the other party. The reason why this young girl became the translator for the Germans was to lurk among the enemies and perform her special mission in full accordance with the orders of her superiors. .
Sokov put his arm around Agelina's shoulders, patted her back gently with his hand, and comforted her, saying: "Agelina, don't worry, it's over. The most terrifying days are over. You are back now." With your loved ones around you, you can live the way you like in the future."
The convoy arrived at the entrance of the German supply warehouse and was stopped by a German second lieutenant wearing a large-brimmed hat. He walked to the car with a submachine gun and said to Sokov, who was wearing a lieutenant's uniform, through the car window: "Mr. Lieutenant , please show your ID!”
Agelina followed the pre-arranged code and gently squeezed Sokov's arm, indicating that he should show his ID. Sokov, who understood the situation, quickly took out his pass from his pocket and handed it to the German second lieutenant outside the car.
The German second lieutenant took a look at the documents in his hand and found that there was only a pass and no military ID. He quickly reminded Sokov: "Mr. Lieutenant, where is your military ID?"
How could Sokov understand what he was asking? Just when he was worried, Agelina interrupted in time and asked: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, do you still remember me?"
Although Agelina only visited the warehouse once, her beauty, beautiful singing voice and skillful piano playing left a deep impression on the officers and soldiers here. The German second lieutenant quickly smiled and said: "Look what you said, Agelina, how can I not remember you? Why are you free to come to the warehouse today?"
"A new group of prisoners of war has been sent to Voloklamsk," Adelina said to the German second lieutenant with a smile: "We don't have enough supplies there, so we can only make a special trip. By the way, Mr. Major is here His office?"
"Yes, yes, you can go directly to his office and you should be able to find him." After the second lieutenant chatted with Agelina for a while, he no longer insisted on asking for Sokov's military ID card and just looked through it casually. After receiving the pass, he returned it to him, waved his hand and said, "Go over there!" Then he turned around and asked his men to lift the crossbar to let the trucks from the prisoner of war camp enter.
Seeing that the German second lieutenant was reassured by the convoy, Agelina couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head and nodded to the driver, indicating that the car could be driven in.
As the truck drove forward along the bumpy muddy road, Agelina whispered to Sokov: "Comrade Battalion Commander, there are two entrances and exits in the warehouse area. We came in from the west entrance; the ones on both sides of the road The wooden house was where the Germans stored supplies, and there were patrols with wolfhounds on them 24 hours a day to prevent guerrillas from cutting the barbed wire and sneaking in."
After Sokov waited for Agelina to finish speaking, he asked: "Do you know where the defenders live?"
"To the north of the warehouse area, there are several wooden houses there. The German soldiers who are not on duty live there." After answering Sokov's question, Agelina took the initiative and said, "without waiting for him to ask again." The person in charge of managing the warehouse is a major, and if we drive more than two hundred meters along this road, we will reach outside his office."
Seeing that Agelina knew so much about the situation in the warehouse, Sokov couldn't help but asked curiously: "Agelina, I want to ask, how do you know so much about the situation of the Germans?"
"Comrade Battalion Commander," Agelina looked at Sokov with a sweet smile and said, "My mission is to collect enemy intelligence and provide it to our comrades so that they can strike hard at the enemy."
