Red Moscow

Although it was only a small German unit that was annihilated, not only Khokhlov and others were surprised that the 546th regiment could solve the battle in such a short period of time, but even Sokov was also surprised. After several months of intensive training, this army, which is mostly recruits who have never been on the battlefield, can actually have such a strong combat effectiveness, so in the next battle, their performance must not disappoint them.

The prisoners were escorted to the division headquarters, and Sokov handed over the work of interrogation to Lunev, and sat in a corner to listen. It was a second lieutenant of the German army who was escorted in. When he saw a Soviet lieutenant general sitting in the middle of the room, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. At this time, a voice came: "Your name, military rank and position."

"My name is Felix, I am a second lieutenant, and I am the platoon leader of the third company of the first battalion of the 3rd Grenadier Regiment of the Imperial Division."

"You said you belonged to the Imperial Division?" After listening to the translation, Lunev frowned and asked, "Isn't the Imperial Division a SS division? Why are you wearing the uniform of the Wehrmacht?"

"The Imperial Division was near the Red Army Village a few months ago and was severely damaged by your army. Today's Imperial Division has been rebuilt." Felix replied: "Because the number of soldiers in the SS Army is insufficient, troops have been transferred from the Wehrmacht. To add, I was transferred to the Imperial Division at that time."

"Oh, you are the rebuilt Imperial Division?" Sokov couldn't help but come out of the corner when he heard this. After sitting down beside Lunev, he looked at Felix and asked, "Can you tell Me, who is my teacher today?"

Felix looked at Sokov who sat down carelessly, and felt very strange in his heart. Why does this major general feel better than the lieutenant general? But he still instinctively replied: "The new division commander is Banner Captain Tansen."

"Banner Captain Tansen?" Sokov repeated the name and asked curiously, "Where was Tansen when the original Imperial Division was wiped out by us?"

"It wasn't a total annihilation," Felix waited for the translator to finish speaking, and quickly argued, "It was just a heavy blow."

"When I said I was wiped out, I meant I was wiped out." Sokov didn't want to talk to the other party, so he directly stated his identity: "When the Imperial Division was wiped out, I was the commander of the Sixth Army."

Hearing Sokov mention the number of the Sixth Army, Felix was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Mr. General, may I know who you are?"

After the translator translated Felix's words to Sokov and others, he said to him on his own initiative: "This is Major General Sokov, the commander of our army group. The Imperial Division was annihilated by the troops under his command. of."

When he learned that the young general sitting in front of him was Sokov who made the German army fearful, Felix couldn't help being shocked, then raised his hand to salute Sokov, and said respectfully: "Mr. General, I really didn't expect that I could meet you here."

This time it was Sokov's turn to be surprised: "Have you heard of me?"

"Yes, Mr. General." Felix replied: "Your reputation is second only to Marshal Zhukov in your country. Before the attack, I heard that the troops under your command were not in Kursk. We I feel lucky. Unexpectedly, shortly after breaking through the Oboyan defense line, I encountered your troops."

Hearing that he was so famous in the German army, Sokov couldn't help but blush. He quickly turned his head and said to the officer in charge of the record: "There is no need to record the part about my reputation."

After giving instructions to the officer, Sokov turned to Felix and asked, "Mr. Second Lieutenant, you said you belonged to the 3rd Grenadier Regiment? So, your regiment broke through Oboyan's defense line?"

Felix shook his head and said: "Not only our regiment, but also the 4th Armored Regiment who broke through the defense together. The task given to us by our superiors is to charge forward as far as we can. Disrupt the Russian defenses."

"Do you think you can make it?"

If it was a few hours ago, Felix thought that with the strength of his own small team, he could have rushed directly to the city of Moscow. But after the battle just now, he realized that he had considered the problem too simply. Since the troops entered the Soviet Union, it was the first time that he saw his troops being defeated in a few minutes.

Felix was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Mr. General, if it weren't for your troops stationed here, I am afraid we still have hope of success. But since you have appeared here, I think the next battle, No matter how hard we try, I’m afraid we won’t be able to break through the defenses you’ve built.”

Khokhlov, Shepilov and others who were watching were secretly surprised when they heard that the German officer gave Sokov such a high evaluation. But after thinking about it, I think this is also normal. If the troops had mastered the techniques and tactics taught by Sokov during the training some time ago, it would probably take a lot of trouble to eliminate this aggressive enemy today.

"Did you alert your superiors when you were attacked?" Sokov asked.

"No." Felix shook his head again and said, "The battle ended too quickly. To be honest, I still feel like I'm dreaming. It is said that the platoon I lead is also experienced in many battles. Even if you want to eliminate us, it will take at least a few hours. I have enough time to report what happened here to the regiment headquarters through the radio. But I never dreamed that you would spend less than In ten minutes, the battle was resolved, which was beyond my expectation."

"So, you haven't had time to warn the regiment headquarters yet?" Sokov heard Felix say this, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his heart, but just to be on the safe side, he still asked: "What did you say?" is that true?"

"Of course it's true, Mr. General." Felix replied in a panic: "Although you are my enemy, you are also someone I admire. How dare I deceive you. Everything I said is true. of."

Sokov asked a few more questions, and then said to the interpreter at the side: "Comrade interpreter, take him down. Remember to give them the treatment they deserve as a prisoner of war, understand?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander." After the translator finished speaking, he gestured to the two soldiers standing behind Felix, signaling them to take Felix away.

After Felix left the headquarters, Lunev smiled and asked Sokov: "Comrade Commander, if I'm not mistaken, you definitely want to use the interruption of the enemy's contact with the superior to make a fuss. Is it right?"
