Red Moscow

Under the guidance of Adelina, the convoy came near a material warehouse. The German corporal in charge of the warehouse recognized that these vehicles belonged to the prisoner-of-war camp, and hurried out of the small sentry box outside the warehouse, commanding the truck to turn around on the spot, and the rear of the car reversed towards the gate of the warehouse.

As soon as the five trucks came to a complete stop, the soldiers sitting in the carriages lifted the tarpaulin behind them and jumped out of the trucks one after another. Seeing 70 or 80 soldiers lined up next to the truck, the German corporal hurried forward and asked loudly, "Which of you is leading the team?"

Ernst, who got off the second truck, exchanged winks with Sokov, then faced the German corporal and replied, "It's me, corporal, what's the matter?"

Ernst was still wearing the uniform of a German captain at the moment. After seeing his rank clearly, the corporal quickly stood at attention and saluted, and replied, "Hello, Mr. Captain!"

Ernst returned the salute casually, and repeated his question again: "Corporal, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Captain," the corporal replied in a panic, "The warehouse is an important place, and no one else can approach it!"

"Miscellaneous people?!" Ernst raised his eyebrows, and asked sharply, "Corporal, you actually call the soldiers I brought here as miscellaneous people?"

"Please forgive me, Mr. Captain," the corporal saw that Ernst was about to lose his temper, and quickly argued, "This is an important part of the warehouse, not internal personnel, so you are not allowed to approach here. This is the warehouse's regulations, please forgive me!"

"If my people don't go in," Ernst said relentlessly, "how can we move the supplies into the car?"

The corporal looked at Ernst and thought to himself: What's the matter with this captain? Doesn't he know that there are people who specialize in moving goods in the warehouse? But he still patiently explained to Ernst: "Mr. Captain, we have someone who is responsible for moving the goods, please let these soldiers leave here first."

"How many people do you have?" Ernst glanced at Sokov who was standing not far away, and then asked, "Can they be busy enough to carry five carts of goods?"

"There are 25 people in our group, no matter how many goods we have, we can be much more busy." After the corporal finished speaking, he politely said to Ernst: "Mr. Captain, please go to the warehouse supervisor first and list the items you need. The list of goods, I can also arrange people to help you load the car."

Sokov understood the conversation between Ernst and the corporal through Adelina's whispered translation. Thinking that there were only about 20 logistics soldiers carrying goods in the warehouse, and they probably had no fighting power, he decisively ordered: "Do it!"

Following his order, several soldiers rushed forward and pointed their black muzzles at the corporal. Facing the gun pointed at him, the corporal asked in panic, "You... you... are... who are you?"

"Corporal, they are the Soviet Red Army!" Seeing that the corporal was about to draw his gun, Ernst quickly stopped him: "I advise you not to resist in vain, but to surrender obediently!" Seeing that the situation was over, the corporal could only raise his hands obediently over the top.

Vanya led a company of soldiers and rushed into the warehouse to arrest the German soldiers who were carrying the goods inside; while Vasily led the soldiers of the machine gun company and followed Sokov to find the warehouse supervisor.

Unexpectedly, just as they walked halfway, they encountered a patrol team of ten people head-on. The German sergeant who led the team saw that there was something wrong with the oncoming troops. There were four machine guns in front and a submachine gun in the back. . Quickly stopped the patrol, and asked Sokov who was walking at the front of the team: "Which part are you from?"

Ernst and Adelina were not by his side at the moment, so Sokov couldn't understand what the German soldiers were saying, so he just walked forward quickly with his soldiers.

When the German sergeant saw no response from the other party, he immediately realized that it was a group of fakes. He drew out his gun and shouted loudly: "It's the Russians, shoot!"

If the German sergeant hadn't been so yelling and eager to draw his gun, Sokov and the others would not have realized that they had been exposed. Seeing the sergeant draw out his gun at this moment, Sokov raised his submachine gun without hesitation, and pulled the trigger towards the opponent. After a series of bullets were shot out, the sergeant was shaken like an electric shock, followed by a thud. He fell to the ground with a sound. And the soldiers following Sokov, seeing the battalion commander taking the lead in firing, also fired unequivocally. The machine guns and submachine guns fired at the same time, knocking down all the patrols that hadn't recovered.

As soon as the gunshot rang, the German officers and soldiers in the warehouse area were naturally alarmed. With weapons in hand, they flocked to the place where the gunshots were fired from all directions, trying to destroy these enemies who had sneaked in as soon as possible. But the firepower of the machine gun company exceeded their imagination. The bullets spit out by the four machine guns formed a fire net, piercing through the bodies of the German soldiers who broke in, causing them to fall in pieces. above the snow. The remaining German soldiers, seeing that the firepower of the Soviet army was too fierce, did not dare to continue to charge, so they could only hide in wooden houses or ravines and shoot back.

When the fighting in the warehouse area was in full swing, Savyev arrived with the main force of the third company, the first company, and the machine gun company, and launched an attack on the warehouse area from the periphery. The two machine guns at the west entrance of the German army were no match for the machine gun company with more than a dozen machine guns. In less than five minutes, the two machine guns were killed.

Seeing that the enemies at the entrance were wiped out, Savyev stood up from behind the tree stump where he was hiding, raised his pistol high above his head, and shouted: "Comrades, go!" Under his leadership, hundreds of Three soldiers rushed into the warehouse area like a tide.

The number of German troops in the warehouse area was originally not dominant, and coupled with the heavy casualties during the counterattack, seeing the large Soviet army rushing up from behind him at this moment, how could he have the courage to continue fighting. Some immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered with raised hands; some fled towards the east entrance and exit, trying to escape to a safe place from there.

Seeing the enemies in the warehouse area scurrying around like headless flies, Sokov led dozens of soldiers and launched an attack on the wooden house where the German major was staying, preparing to take it down in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the German army deployed a machine gun in the wooden house, and the soldiers who rushed forward suffered more than a dozen casualties.

Seeing this situation, Sokov quickly ordered the first company and the third company to capture prisoners in the warehouse area, while he led the machine gun company and surrounded the wooden house tightly. At the same time, he also let Ernst, who had heard the news, shout into the house, ordering the German major inside to put down his weapons and come out to surrender immediately.

After hearing Ernst's call, the dozen or so German officers and soldiers in the room instinctively turned their gazes to the major, wanting to see what decision he would make. Unexpectedly, the major sneered and said, "This house is made of logs. If the Russians don't have artillery support, even if the corpses cover all sides of the house, they don't even think about rushing in."

When the German soldiers saw that the house was surrounded by groups, they were a little uneasy at first, but when they heard what the major said so confidently, they put down their thoughts of surrender and prepared to continue to resist.

Through the window, the major saw that there were four to five hundred Soviet troops outside, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. He realized that no matter how strong the house he was in, if he didn't get foreign aid, he would be hard-pressed to escape sooner or later. The end of the army's destruction. Thinking of this, he quickly ordered the communications soldier: "Send a report immediately, saying that the logistics warehouse has been attacked by the Russians. If you don't send troops to support it immediately, the warehouse will be in danger of falling."

Vasily, who was outside, also found that the house was solid and it was not easy to take it down, so he walked to Sukov's side and said in a low voice: "Comrade battalion commander, this house is made of logs. Support, if we want to rush in, we will inevitably pay heavy casualties."

Sokov stared at the wooden house for a while, agreeing with Vasily's opinion. He thought for a while, and then said to Vasily: "Comrade lieutenant, you immediately concentrate eight machine guns and shoot at the gate!"

Hearing this strange order, Vasily asked curiously: "Comrade Battalion Commander, what is going on, why did we aim at the gate and shoot?"

Sokov did not explain to him, but urged him: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and execute the order."

Vasily grumbled back among his fighters, selected eight machine gun teams, and ordered them to shoot at the gate. The machine gunners lay on the ground, pointed their guns at the wooden door, and with an order, everyone pulled the trigger at the same time.

The German soldiers hiding in the house didn't pay much attention when they saw the eight machine guns set up by the Soviet army. They thought that the bullets would not penetrate the logs so easily, so it should be safe for them to hide in the house. But when the machine gun fired, they were immediately dumbfounded. After the closed wooden door was hit by dense bullets, splinters of wood flew up like feathers.

"Damn, what a hell." Seeing that the closed wooden door was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye under the impact of dense bullets, the major couldn't help shouting loudly: "The purpose of concentrating so many machine guns is to deal with a single wooden door. , the Russian commander must be mad."

Seeing this, one of his subordinates quickly grabbed him and begged: "Mr. Major, let's surrender. If there is no wooden door, even if the Russians don't have artillery, they can throw countless grenades in and blow us up alive." dead."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Major." Seeing someone speak first, several soldiers immediately echoed: "The Russian firepower is too fierce, let's surrender!"

Seeing that the wooden door was destroyed by the Soviet machine gun fire, the soldiers in the room had lost their fighting spirit, and it was meaningless to force them to resist, he stomped his feet, closed his eyes and said painfully: "Okay, we—— surrender!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a German soldier leaned sideways and opened the window, stretched out a rifle tied with a white shirt, and waved it desperately.

"The Germans have surrendered!" Vasily, who was crying, saw the white flag protruding from the window, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he ordered the machine gun to stop firing. Then he pulled out his pistol, and said to the soldiers on standby: "Brothers! , it's time for us to go, follow me to catch the prisoners!"
