As the troops walked along the street toward the warehouse, Yegor walked side by side with the sentry who acted as guide. The sentry didn't know that the garrison at the bridge had been wiped out. He was the only survivor. He was still chattering to Yegor: "Mr. Captain, when we get to the warehouse later, you'd better ask a soldier to accompany me back." , lest I explain it unclearly.”
"Don't worry." Yegor said carelessly: "When we arrive at the warehouse, I will immediately send someone to take you back, and by the way, I will help you testify that you are not leaving your post without permission, but are acting as a guide for us."
Seeing that "Captain Conrad" beside him agreed to send someone to go back with him, the stone hanging in the sentry's heart finally fell to the ground. He began to introduce the situation in the warehouse to the other party: "There were originally two companies of troops guarding the warehouse. Later, someone raised objections that it would be a waste to put so many troops in a place that would not be attacked by the Russians. So. So The defenders in the warehouse were reduced from two companies to one platoon."
"What, there is only one platoon of defenders in the warehouse?" Hearing what the sentry said, Yegor couldn't help feeling ecstatic, but on the surface, he frowned and said displeasedly: "There are so many jobs in the warehouse. Can you be busy?"
"Mr. Captain, you don't know something. The people who are usually responsible for moving materials in and out of the warehouse are Russians. The defenders in the warehouse only need to supervise the work of the Russians."
"They are all Russians?!" Yegor asked back: "Aren't you worried that they will cause sabotage?"
"You are worrying too much, Mr. Captain." the sentry said smugly: "It has been two full years since our troops occupied this city. Anyone with bad intentions towards Germany has long been killed in previous purges. Seeing that the situation is not good, the remaining people can only work for us obediently. Moreover, the families of these Russians working in the warehouse live near the warehouse. If they want to cause any damage, they must think carefully. Thinking of their families.”
Yegor agreed with the sentry's statement. He felt that even if he worked in the warehouse, if his family members were placed near the warehouse, he would not dare to act rashly, lest he harm his family.
"Then do you know where the defenders of the warehouse usually live?"
"I don't know." The sentry shook his head and replied, "I have never been to the warehouse. I don't know how the defense is inside."
Yegor couldn't help but feel disappointed when the sentry said that he didn't understand the defense situation in the warehouse. But then he thought about it. There was only one platoon of defenders in the warehouse. They must have been deployed very scattered. As long as he sent the corresponding manpower, he should be able to find them quickly.
Under the leadership of the sentry, Yegor and his company finally arrived at the warehouse.
I saw that there were only two German soldiers wearing military coats guarding the entrance of the warehouse. The sandbag fortifications beside them were empty. Seeing this situation, Yegor couldn't help but sigh. The Germans only placed two sentries in such a large material transfer warehouse. The commander responsible for guarding the warehouse was taking it too lightly.
Seeing one approaching his position, a sentry took off the rifle on his shoulder and walked towards him: "What section are you from and what are you doing here?"
"We are from the 198th Infantry Division and were ordered to take over the defense here." Yegor looked at the other party and asked: "Where are your officers?"
When the sentry learned that the other party was here to take over the defense, there was an expression of surprise on his face: "Are you here to take over the defense? That's great, we can have a good rest next."
"Soldier, you haven't answered my question yet." Seeing that the other party did not answer his question, Yegor straightened his face and asked in a stern tone: "Where is the officer commanding you?"
"He should be sleeping in the office in the warehouse at the moment." Seeing Yegor's anger, the sentry quickly replied respectfully: "Not only does the second lieutenant live there, but other soldiers who are not on duty are also resting there." He tried to please him. He asked, "Mr. Captain, you should know that although it has just entered October, it is extremely cold at night, so everyone is sleeping in the house to avoid getting cold."
"Here comes someone." After Yegor figured out where the warehouse defenders were, he turned to call a soldier and ordered him: "Send the guide back and report to his commander that he has not He didn’t leave his post without permission, but acted as a guide for us and led us to the warehouse.”
The soldier understood what Yegor meant. It was a lie to send the guide back, but it was true to return to the bridge to meet the troops behind him. After thinking about this clearly, he quickly replied loudly: "Understood, Mr. Captain. I will definitely send the soldier back to the bridge safely and explain the whole thing to his commander."
After the soldiers took away the guide, Yegor turned to the sentry and said, "Sentinel, take me to your platoon leader. I will personally hand over the defense in the warehouse to him."
"Okay, Mr. Captain." The sentry quickly opened the closed warehouse door, respectfully invited Yeager and his men to enter, and said with a smile: "I will take you to see our second lieutenant."
Yegor knew the importance of this warehouse and quickly arranged for a few soldiers to guard the door together with the remaining sentry. The sentry who didn't know the inside story could not help but secretly rejoice when he saw that the new captain actually arranged for so many people to be on duty with him: Since there are so many people guarding the door, he can find a place to sleep well later. . It's not too late to come out when the shift changes at dawn.
