USSR 1941

  Chapter 40 Headquarters

Pukarev is not very willing to attack that building, because he thinks this is simply the murder of the main force of the Soviet army... As I said before, the cable bridge is not safe to defend, and the Soviet army will inevitably have a lot of trouble. casualties.

   But thinking of Major Gavrilov's previous order, which was to make Pukarev obey Shulka's command, he nodded and reluctantly agreed.

   As soon as Shulka waved his hand, the soldiers moved towards the building in the darkness under the cover of buildings and ruins.

Under Pukarev's command, they approached the building in two parts, one left and one right, and then spread out to control every door and window of the building from the outside... It is not difficult to do this, they are familiar with Everything here includes the building.

   It was the two German guards in front of the main entrance that were a little troublesome, but they never thought that the enemy had infiltrated here, so they got together and chatted while smoking a cigarette.

   Shulka took a closer look at the windows as he passed by...they were all covered with thick black cloth, so Shulka was even more sure that he was right.

  The German headquarters here, at least the German headquarters in Warren Fortress.

  The reason is very simple. It is not allowed to light lamps and fires on the battlefield, which will make you the target of enemy artillery fire.

  But there is one exception, and that is the command.

  The command center needs to read maps, process documents, and send telegrams... All of these need lights. The common method on the battlefield is to use a black cloth or poncho to close a space as the command center.

  The light that Shulka saw was the light that shone through when the German soldiers came out of the headquarters.

Others may not take this seriously, but Shulka realized that this may be the key to this battle: as long as the German command headquarters is destroyed immediately, the German army will not be able to report the situation in time and warn the connecting bridge. So the next battle will be much less dangerous.

   While Shulka was thinking about this, Pukarev waved his hand, and two Soviet soldiers reached out from the darkness to deal with the two German guards.

   The word "solve" is easy to say, but Shulka at the scene has a different feeling.

One of the German guards was dragged to Shulka's side, perhaps because the Soviet soldiers who touched the sentry were inexperienced. Although the military stab was stuck into the body of the guard, he did not die immediately. He struggled desperately to shout, but his mouth was blocked. Clutching tightly, he could only make a little "woo hoo" sound. He kicked his feet vigorously because of the pain, but was soon pinned down and unable to move.

Shulka soon joined them, because it is unimaginable for a person to burst out of strength under extreme pain, and several people can't hold it down, and this is likely to alert the German army in the headquarters and make things more variable. .

  Shuerka was holding down the guard's arm, in fact, using all his body weight to hold it down, which made the arm try to break free several times but failed.

   Then, the strength in the arm became weaker and weaker, and soon turned into a burst of twitching, continuous twitching, just like shivering in the cold winter.

   Soon the twitching becomes intermittent, then takes longer and longer intervals, and eventually stops moving.

This is a horrible experience. Although the Soviet soldiers had to do this, they were actually controlling a person so that he could not make a sound or move, and then in this horror, despair, helplessness and die slowly in a painful state.

  Although Shulka couldn't bear it, he didn't hesitate...he didn't have time to hesitate, because any mistake or hesitation could wipe out the entire commando.

  He raised his submachine gun and leaned against the wall with other fighters to prepare for battle.

  Pukarev nodded, and the soldiers on both sides of the door took out a grenade, ignited it, and then suddenly lifted the black cloth blocking the door, and then threw the grenade in...

   There was a panicked cry from the building, followed by two bangs, followed by screams.

  The Soviet soldier with a submachine gun turned around and rushed in with a submachine gun.

   Shulka was a few steps behind. When he rushed in, he was already in a mess. The surviving German troops fought hard, but most of the German troops in the headquarters were only equipped with pistols, and they were no match for the submachine guns held by the Soviet troops.

A German officer leaned out from the compartment and raised his pistol, but before he could pull the trigger, he was knocked to the ground by Shulka's bullets... The PPD submachine gun has a total of 71 bullets in the upper drum. Enough for a small fight.

  The veteran's movements were very nimble. He jumped up and threw a grenade into the compartment in a flash.

  With a "boom", Shulka and the veteran rushed in with their submachine guns... Several German signal soldiers lay on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, next to several phones and a radio station that was still beeping.

  Matvi did not hesitate, and as soon as he pulled the trigger, he fed a few bullets to the German soldiers on the ground, and Shulka was busy pulling out the telephone line and destroying the radio station.

   After finishing this, Shulka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Obviously, the German army failed to send the information out, and they didn't even know what kind of attack they were suffering or to what extent.

   At this time, fierce gunshots also came from the direction of the bridgehead.

  Don't think about it, the main force of the Soviet army lurking on the other side launched an attack after hearing the movement here.

   "Shuerka!" Pukarev ordered: "Your squad is here to clean up the battlefield, and I will lead others to attack the bridgehead!"

   "Yes, Comrade Dashi!"

   This arrangement is reasonable.

  Cleaning up the battlefield is very important, because the Soviet army must ensure that no one survives or hides in a corner, otherwise, if he escapes at night to inform the news or use a phone call from other places to warn the Soviet army, all previous efforts will be wasted.

  Supporting the bridgehead is also very important, which is related to whether the main force of the Soviet army can successfully cross the bridge and proceed to the next step.

   But obviously, it is easier to clean the battlefield in the headquarters.

   "Whoah!" the actor yelled triumphantly while turning over the dead German soldiers on the ground: "Look, there is a lieutenant colonel here...I think he was killed by my gun!"

   "Come on, Okunev!" said the thief, "You came in after me, and the lieutenant colonel was already lying on the ground when I came in!"

   "Then you must not have noticed that he was suspended animation!" the actor replied.

   "Really?" The thief asked while pulling the trigger to refill the gun on the corpse on the ground: "Then when did you refill him?"

   "It's now!" The actor raised his gun and fired a burst: "Look, it hit the head!"

   While the soldiers were doing this, Shulka noticed a shadow protruding from the bottom edge. He winked at the veteran, and the two of them approached carefully with submachine guns on the left and right.

  Matvey also shouted in blunt German: "Hands up, come out and surrender!"

   "Don't shoot, I surrender!" The answer was very fluent Russian.

  When this person came out from under the table, everyone was stunned.
