In this way, with the help of the unknowing German lieutenant, Grisa and his reconnaissance team successfully left the town of Gorodishe in an enemy truck. When the car arrived at the site of the attack, the truck was burned into a frame and pushed to the side of the road. The bodies in the car had been cleared away.
After the car stopped on the side of the road, the German corporal sitting next to the lieutenant opened the door, leaned forward and said to Aino in the car: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, you are here!" After Aino thanked him quickly, he asked Grisa They all get off!
While the soldiers were forming the team, Aino came to the bridge and said gratefully to the German lieutenant sitting inside: "Thank you, Mr. Lieutenant. If it weren't for your help, my men and I would probably still be here right now." The road was marched on foot.”
The lieutenant waved his hand to Aino and said: "Second lieutenant, I leave it to you to suppress the guerrillas. I wish you good luck!" After that, he ordered the driver to drive!
It was a full play, and even though the German convoy had already driven away, Grisa and the others still pretended to climb the hillside. Then he squatted on the top of the hillside and waited quietly for the convoy to leave.
"Sergeant Yelizaveta," he couldn't leave here yet anyway, so he had nothing to do. Griza asked Yelizaveta, "You are the most accurate rocket launcher in the company." Man, tell me, how sure are you of destroying the enemy's ammunition depot?"
"Comrade Lieutenant," Yelizaveta did not immediately answer Grisa's question, but asked: "At what distance do you plan to let me shoot?"
"There is a river outside the town. The enemy has checkpoints and fortifications on the bridge. We may have difficulty passing through at night." Grisa said thoughtfully: "I think we can launch rockets on the right bank of the river. You How certain are you?"
"I have visually measured the distance there, and it is at least 1.5 kilometers to the town." Yelizavita replied: "Launching from such a long distance, I think the chance of killing the enemy's ammunition depot is less than 20%."
"What, the hit rate is so low?" Grisa frowned and asked with some confusion: "Comrade Sergeant, I remember shooting at such a long distance before, and your hit rate was as high as over 60%."
"The enemy's open-air ammunition depot is located on the church square in the middle of the town. Due to the obstruction of the building, the probability of hitting the target will be greatly reduced." Yelizavita said to Grisa: "Comrade Lieutenant, we must get closer. Only with one point can it be possible to destroy the enemy's ammunition depot."
Grisa thought for a while and replied: "In that case, you will take two soldiers and cross the river to the left bank to establish a launching position. Attack the enemy's ammunition depot at a distance of 1,200 meters."
"No, it's still too far."
"A thousand meters?!"
"Too far!"
Hearing that the two attack distances he proposed in succession were rejected by Yelizaveta, Griza asked with some displeasure: "Sergeant Yelizaveta, tell me how far you want it to be." What’s the right distance?”
Yelizavita stretched out his hand and said: "Five hundred meters! At this distance, I can increase the probability of hitting the ammunition depot to more than 80%."
Regarding the distance proposed by Yelizaveta, Griza shook his head and said firmly: "No, Sergeant Yelizaveta, you cannot establish a launching position at this distance."
Yelizavita felt that by establishing a launching position at this distance, he had the highest chance of destroying the enemy's ammunition depot. He didn't understand why Grisa objected, so the question in his mind blurted out: "Why?"
"The mortars we are equipped with have a range of about 500 meters. In order to prevent the ammunition depot from being attacked by us, the Germans will definitely put the guard post 500 meters away." Grisa told Ye with a serious expression. Lizaveta said: "You established the launch site five hundred meters away from the town. Aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"
"Comrade Lieutenant," Yelizavita was immediately startled and broke into a cold sweat after hearing what Griza said. If the Germans really put the cordon five hundred meters away from the town, they might not have established a launch position yet. , was surrounded by enemies. He asked with lingering fear: "Then where should we establish the launch site?"
"One thousand meters is too far, and five hundred meters is too close." Grisa thought for a while and said decisively: "Just set up the launch site 800 meters away from the town. I will send a few more people then." The soldiers will cooperate with you."
"Comrade Lieutenant," Aino saw that there was no trace of the German convoy, and quickly reminded Grisa: "Do you think we can send someone back to call all the comrades hiding in the valley." Aino said this because He didn't want to walk a few more kilometers back to the hidden valley, and then rush back again before he could catch his breath.
"I'm going!" "I'm going!" As soon as Aino finished speaking, before Grisa could speak, the soldiers expressed their willingness to go back and call back all the soldiers hiding in the valley.
"No!" Unexpectedly, Grisa shook his head and said: "It's not dark yet. If a person is walking on the road and is discovered by a passing German army, his identity will be exposed or he will be arrested as a deserter. I think it's still Let’s all go back together.”
After everyone heard what Grisa said, and thought about it carefully, they felt that the lieutenant was indeed right. If only one person is sent back to report the news, even if he is wearing a German uniform, he will arouse the suspicion of the passing German soldiers. Even if he can avoid revealing his identity, he will be arrested as a deserter, and he may miss important events when he arrives.
The reconnaissance team descended the hillside and walked along the road to the hiding place. Although the soldiers walked for a day, no one raised any objections because Grisa had already explained the stakes to everyone. As they were marching, vehicles, loaded or unloaded, passed by them from time to time. When the Germans in the car saw the small force on the roadside, they thought it was a specialized highway patrol, so they continued to drive forward without slowing down.
After more than an hour of marching, Grisa and the others finally returned to the hiding place of the other warriors. Seeing Grisa and the others coming back, a staff sergeant who was left in charge quickly came up to meet Grisa and said to Grisa: "Comrade Lieutenant, you are back."
Grisa could tell from the other person's tone that something big must have happened, and quickly asked: "Did something happen?"
"During your absence," the sergeant replied, "the division headquarters sent us fifteen telegrams, all with the same content, asking us if we had found the enemy's ammunition depot."
"Call back to the division headquarters." Grisa waited for the sergeant to finish speaking, and then said confidently: "We said that after reconnaissance, we have confirmed that the enemy's temporary ammunition depot is located in the town of Gorodishe. We will Take action tonight to destroy the enemy's ammunition depot. Comrade Sergeant, this message is extremely urgent. Send it out immediately. Don't let the division commander and others wait."
