Belkin was worried that he would not be able to find the armored vehicle in the camp in front, so he used the accompanying radio to send a telegram to Rokossovsky's headquarters, reporting what happened on the road today, hoping that the other party could provide some information. armored vehicle.
Although Sokov was now a member of the Steppe Front, Rokossovsky was still shocked when he learned that he was in danger on the way. He quickly ordered the tank brigade near Sokov's station to send two armored vehicles overnight. past.
With these two armored vehicles, when the convoy set off the next morning, not only Sokov and Belkin sat in the armored vehicles, but also all the commanders above the captain sat in the armored vehicles. The officers sitting in the carriage also took off their epaulettes to avoid becoming the target of German snipers.
The two armored vehicles in the convoy that are re-departing are particularly conspicuous. If there are German snipers along the way, their eyes will be attracted by the armored vehicles, and the commanders sitting in the carriages will be directly attracted by him. Ignore it.
While the convoy was marching, it once again encountered the German sniper who survived yesterday. The cunning sniper knew very well that there must be a big shot of the Soviet army in the armored vehicle, and his gun could not penetrate the steel plate of the armored vehicle, so he aimed at the truck wheels in front of the armored vehicle and deflated the wheels with one shot.
Seeing that the vehicle in front suddenly stopped, Seryosha, who was sitting in the car with Sokov, wanted to get out of the car to check. Sokov quickly grabbed him and said to him: "Seryosa, don't you think this tire Air leakage, is the air leakage too strange?"
Seryosha, who experienced what happened yesterday, immediately understood what Sokov meant. He quickly used the vehicle loudspeaker to order the soldiers in the truck in front: "Combat alert, combat alert. There may be German snipers in the nearby woods. A platoon immediately formed a combat formation and entered the forest to continue searching."
When the soldiers of the guard company sitting in the car heard Seryosha's shouting, they quickly jumped out of the truck they were riding in. The second and third platoons set up security in place, while the more than fifty soldiers from the first platoon entered the forest in groups of five to search.
When the German sniper saw the convoy stopped, he aimed his gun at the door of the armored vehicle, planning to wait for the door to open and then shoot at the people coming out of the door. But what he didn't expect was that the people in the armored vehicle did not come out, but the officers and soldiers sitting in the truck got out of the truck and formed a formation to search the forest.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the sniper cursed in a low voice and ran quickly towards the depths of the forest with his gun in hand. He knew very well that if he continued to stay here, many of them would be discovered by the search team. If it was summer, the shrubs and weeds in the forest would be the best cover for him. But it was still winter, and the forest was full of unmelted snow. The searching Soviet troops could easily find themselves based on their footsteps.
After some running, while the sniper got rid of the search force, he sadly found that he was in a position where he couldn't see the road clearly, let alone conduct any sniping. He stood there in a daze for a while, and finally decided to go back to the place where he was yesterday, maybe he could gain something there.
During the search, soldiers from the guard platoon discovered the footprints left by the German snipers. They followed them for a while and came to a creek. The footprints disappeared when they reached the creek. Obviously, the German snipers escaped along the creek. The platoon leader ordered the soldiers to search upstream and downstream, but without any results, they could only announce a retreat.
The platoon leader returned to the armored vehicle and reported to Seryosha with a grimace: "Comrade company commander, although we found traces of the German sniper, we lost his footprints when we chased him to a creek."
"Why are you so stupid?" When a platoon leader said that he had lost track of the enemy, Seryozha said angrily: "There are so many of you, but you can't catch an enemy. What do you do for food?"
"Seryozha," Fortunately, Sokov felt that using a group of infantry to search for a sniper in the forest was a very difficult task. It was normal for him to be thrown away by the enemy, so he interrupted Xie Liao Sha's words comforted the platoon leader: "Platoon leader, although you have lost the trace of the enemy, it just shows that the search you conducted frightened the enemy so much that he had to escape." Far away.”
At this point, he asked Seryozha, who was sulking on the side: "Have the tires been changed?"
"It's changed."
"Now that the tires have been changed, let's continue setting off." Sokov waved his hand to the platoon leader and said, "You can also go back to the army."
After the German snipers were scared away, the rest of the trip went extremely smoothly. Although the road conditions along the way were very bad, the convoy arrived at a town called Shigre at noon on the third day.
There is a checkpoint at the entrance of the town. Not only are there crossbars, but there is also a wooden fence with wires in front. On both sides of the checkpoint, there was a sandbag fortification with a turntable machine gun. The soldiers stared at the road ahead with vigilant eyes.
Seeing Sokov's convoy approaching, a second lieutenant immediately stepped forward to block the way. He waved the green and red signal flag in his hand to signal the convoy to stop for inspection.
Knowing that he could reach his destination today, Seryosha did not ride with Sokov in the same car, but sat in the front jeep, specifically responsible for contacting friendly forces.
The second lieutenant walked to the jeep, bent down and looked into the car, then took a step back, raised his hand to salute Seryosha, and asked politely: "Hello, comrade captain."
"Hello, Second Lieutenant!" Seryozha said, opened the door and got out of the car, looked at the wooden fence in front, and said to the Second Lieutenant: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, please call your people to remove the things blocking the road. Everyone move away, we have to rush to Castornoe.”
The second lieutenant knew that Kastornoye was the location of the front army headquarters, so he asked cautiously: "Which section are you from, and what are you doing in Kastornoye?"
"Comrade Second Lieutenant, we used to be part of the Sixth Army, but now we have been transferred to the Steppe Front Army. Now we are going to the headquarters to report to General Konev."
The second lieutenant did not believe even a single punctuation mark of Seryozha's statement. After he looked Seryosha up and down, he asked cautiously: "Comrade Captain, where are your documents?"
"Here, here is my ID." When Seryosha took out the ID and handed it to the second lieutenant, in order to avoid unnecessary arguments, he even handed over Sokov's transfer order: "This is our commander. Comrade's transfer order, please take a good look at it."
Belkin was worried that he would not be able to find the armored vehicle in the camp in front, so he used the accompanying radio to send a telegram to Rokossovsky's headquarters, reporting what happened on the road today, hoping that the other party could provide some information. armored vehicle.
