Grisa's move of asking Corporal Aino to convince the driver to let his reconnaissance team ride was definitely a stroke of genius. Because even if they kill the driver and hide the body somewhere, there is still a chance that it will be discovered. Nowadays, German drivers are worried about encountering guerrillas on the road and actively invite them to ride in the car. Not only do they no longer have to march on foot, but they also save a lot of trouble when passing some checkpoints.
After the truck drove along the highway for five or six minutes, a loud noise suddenly came from the front, startling the soldiers in the truck. Grisa quickly opened the tarp and looked forward, only to see a truck parked in the middle of the road in the distance, burning blazingly. Several ammunition trucks that had just passed in front of the reconnaissance team were blocked by burning trucks.
Sporadic gunshots rang out from a dirt slope on the roadside, knocking down two of the soldiers escorting the car who had just jumped out of the car. The rest quickly fell down on the spot, or hid behind the car, crackling towards the hillside. The ground was beaten for a while.
The sudden change made the soldiers nervous. They rushed to the rear fender of the car and tried to jump out of the car immediately, but were stopped by Grisa. He lowered his voice and said to the soldiers, "You stay here for now. I'll go out and see what's going on." After saying that, he jumped out of the car and walked towards the front of the car.
Aino, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had already opened the door and got out of the car. Since he couldn't see as clearly as he did in the carriage, after getting off the car, he put up an awning and looked towards the place where the gunshots were heard.
Grisa walked up to Aino without saying a word, but just patted his shoulder with his hand. When he turned around, he winked at him and motioned for him to go to the front and take a look. Aino understood what Grisa meant, nodded slightly, pulled out his pistol, bent over and trotted forward.
After leaving the truck for some distance, Grisa whispered to Aino, "Comrade Corporal, I just saw in the carriage that a truck was blown up on the road ahead. It must have hit a mine. The one transporting ammunition just now The convoy stopped in front to engage the friendly forces on the hillside.”
While the two were talking, the gunfire on the hillside had stopped. It must be that the Soviet troops above had moved. The German officer, who was hiding behind a truck and shooting randomly at the hillside from time to time, saw Grisa and Aino running over and shouted to Aino, "Second Lieutenant, there are guerrillas on the hillside. Take your weapons with you immediately." Soldiers charge up!"
Although Grisa could not understand what the Germans were shouting at all, he guessed from the officer's waving arms that the other party wanted his reconnaissance team to rush up and eliminate the guerrillas on the hillside. He stared at the other party with contempt, thinking in his mind that we should go fight the guerrillas. It was such a beautiful idea. If you weren't outnumbered by us, I might have led my men and joined forces with the guerrillas to wipe out all of you.
However, this idea can only be thought about silently in the heart. Grisa will not miss important events just for the sake of temporary excitement. He turned his head and winked at Aino, indicating that the other party would agree to the German officer's request, and then he would find a way to delay it.
"Mr. Lieutenant," Aino ran to the German officer and squatted down, pretending to be nervous and said, "You lead the people up first, my people will be there soon!" After saying that, he rushed to the man standing next to him. Grisa ordered, "Quickly, call everyone in the car over. Together with Mr. Lieutenant and others, we will eliminate the guerrillas on the hillside."
Grisa ran back to the truck and slapped the truck twice with his hands. The soldiers sitting in the truck immediately understood what he meant, jumped out of the truck one after another, and quickly stood in a row next to the truck. . After the soldiers were assembled, Grisa pointed towards the hillside in the distance, made a charging gesture, and then took the lead and charged forward.
The German officer escorting the car was actually a coward. When Grisa went back to call for help, he squatted in place and did not move. At this moment, when he saw Grisa rushing over with his men, he immediately reached out and slapped Aino on the back, and said arrogantly, "Second Lieutenant, your people are here. Hurry up and lead them up to kill all the guerrillas on the hillside." wipe out."
Although Aino wanted to raise his hand and shoot the German officer in front of him, in order not to expose his identity, he could only bite the bullet and say "Yes!" Then he stood up and ran towards Grisa and the others.
The soldiers had heard from Grisa that there were guerrillas on the hillside attacking the German army, and they were suddenly surprised and happy. They all wanted to rush forward immediately and cooperate with the guerrillas to eliminate this small German army on the road. Unexpectedly, after they met Aino and learned that they were going to fight guerrillas on the hillside, everyone immediately became dissatisfied.
Sergeant Yelizavita angrily said to Grisa, "Comrade Lieutenant, our comrades are on the hillside. How can we help the Germans to fight them?"
Because of the special environment at this moment, Grisa could not explain too much to them. He could only say briefly, "Comrades, I know everyone is emotional, but if it is not us who rush up, but the Germans, what do you think?" Think about it, can the guerrillas who sneak attack the enemy escape smoothly?"
Hearing Grisa say this, the warriors became quiet. Seeing that the soldiers were silent, Grisa continued, "Okay, don't stand here in a daze. If the Germans see us standing here without moving, they will become suspicious!"
The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and quickly rushed up the hillside with submachine guns in hand, along the other side of the hillside. When they reached the top of the slope, they found that there was no one here. Yelizaveta looked around, then pointed in the distance and said to Grisa, "Comrade Lieutenant, look, there are a few figures there, they should be guerrilla comrades. Do we need to go over and contact them?" ?”
Grisa looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw several figures running wildly into the distance. Judging from the civilian clothes they wore, it was confirmed that they were guerrillas who sneaked into the German army. He nodded slightly, then pointed in the distance with his hand and ordered the soldiers around him to "shoot in their direction. Be careful not to hurt them."
After hearing Grisa's order, the soldiers quickly took their submachine guns and shot randomly in the direction where the guerrillas disappeared. As soon as the shuttle was finished, the German officer appeared at the top of the hillside with his men. Grisa quickly coughed lightly at Aino, reminding him to deal with the officer.
"Report to Mr. Lieutenant," Aino walked up to the German officer, raised his hand to salute him, and said respectfully, "We have driven away the guerrillas."
"Why don't you catch up?" The German officer looked at a few black spots in the distance and asked, "Second lieutenant, you can definitely catch up and eliminate them."
"Mr. Lieutenant," Aino replied, "I don't know if they have an ambush in front. If they catch up rashly, I'm afraid we will suffer unnecessary losses. I think we should leave this dangerous place quickly."
Aino's words gave the German officer a wake-up call. He thought of the several carts of ammunition he had escorted, and could only wave his hand helplessly at Aino, and then said to his men, "Get back in the car and get ready to leave this hellish place."
Seeing the German officer leading his men staggering down the hillside, Aino turned to Grisa who was standing aside and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, look, what a great opportunity. The enemies are all within our shooting range." Within a short period of time, as long as the comrades pull the trigger, all these dozen German soldiers can be killed."
"Get back to the car." Grisa didn't want to kill these German soldiers, but when he thought of his mission, he suppressed this tempting idea. He said to everyone, "Follow the German convoy, they It will take us smoothly through the checkpoints ahead!" When the soldiers heard Grisa say this, they all turned off the safety of their submachine guns and walked towards the truck parked far away with regret.
The German driver who stayed in the truck was frightened by the burning truck on the road and the gunfire on the hillside. He did not expect to actually encounter the guerrillas. If Grisa and the others had just been asked to get into the car, it was somewhat perfunctory. At this moment, they wished that these patrols could stay in their car until they arrived in the town of Gorodishe.
Seeing Grisa and Aino coming down the hillside, they quickly drove up to meet them. After parking the car on the side of the road, he took the initiative to open the passenger door for Aino and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Second Lieutenant, hurry up and get in the car!"
After everyone got on the bus, the driver tentatively asked Aino, "Mr. Second Lieutenant, how are those damn guerrillas doing?"
"We drove them away." Aino saw that the ammunition truck in front had restarted, and ordered the driver to "Follow the convoy in front. If we encounter guerrillas again, we can take care of each other!"
The driver was deeply afraid that the guerrillas would appear again. When he heard what Aino said, he quickly agreed loudly and stepped on the accelerator to catch up with the ammunition truck ahead.
After driving not far forward, Aino, who was sitting on the driver's seat, saw a group of motorcycles approaching. They should be the nearby garrison. They heard the movement here and rushed over to check.
The motorcycle stopped in the middle of the road, and the convoy transporting ammunition in front stopped, seemingly ready to be inspected. Seeing this situation, Aino couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth. He thought to himself that if the Germans really wanted to check their documents, how could he have any documents to show them? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance behind him and coughed twice loudly to remind the people in the carriage to prepare for battle.
As soon as the car stopped, Grisa turned around, lifted the tarp, and grasped the car outside, discovering the sudden appearance of the motorcycle group. He guessed that the garrison must be coming from nearby, and they might conduct strict inspections on the vehicles. After hearing Aino's cough, he quickly made a gesture to the soldiers in the carriage to get everyone ready for battle.
