Chapter 372: Interception
"Okunev!" Shulka said to the actor: "Go scout!" ”
"Yes!" The actor answered and directed a car in the direction of the gunfire.
Others, under Shulka's command, took their vehicles under concealment and prepared them for battle depending on the terrain.
In about twenty minutes, Okunev's car drove back.
Okunev jumped out of the car and ran all the way to Shulka and got down, then took out a map and put it in front of him, pointed to a circle, and said: "In this position, about two kilometers away from us, two enemy tanks, an armored vehicle and a motorized unit are chasing a small convoy of our army!" ”
After a pause, Okunev continued: "They are moving along this road, which is two miles from our nearest place!" ”
After looking at the map, Shulka ordered: "Hurry to the highway immediately!" ”
The fighters quickly got up from their hideouts and flew towards the half-track, and then drove in the direction of the road with a "boom".
The advantage of a half-track is not only that it has better defense and firepower than a car, but also that it can not rely on the road.
At this time, if it is another means of transportation, such as a car, I am afraid that there is nothing that can be done about the current situation, because by the time they reach the road, the enemy may have already passed through that section of the road and cannot intercept it!
But now, because the half-track was faster and the distance was shorter, they rushed to the target and even took a moment to set up fire and ambush on both sides of the road.
The roads here are similar to other roads, with snow shoveled up to a height of more than a metre on both sides of the road...... As mentioned before, this is on the one hand for the convenience of road transportation, and on the other hand, it can provide cover for cars driving in the middle of the road, making it difficult for pilots in the air to observe.
The warriors used the snow as a trench to hide, and they wore snow-white camouflage cloaks, and when they lay on the ground, they could not see anything.
The gunfire and artillery were getting closer and closer, and sure enough, it was a German army chasing the Soviet convoy...... This convoy of Soviet troops consisted of five jeeps, American-style jeeps.
As soon as you look at this Shulka, you know that the jeep must be sitting in an officer, and probably a high-ranking officer.
The reason is very simple, at this time American aid had just entered the Soviet Union, and American jeeps were easy to use but few in number, and once became a scarce resource, and now there are five of them.
Shulka guessed that this was probably some command headquarters that had escaped in a hurry, and the Germans were aware of this, so they pursued it relentlessly.
The jeep will be faster than the German motorized troops, and the problem is that the Germans in the rear will shoot at the front from time to time...... Although the tank was always inaccurate when firing while driving, the explosion of the shell in the middle of the road caused the jeep to panic and unable to hold the steering wheel, turning left and right, and almost rushed off the road several times.
Seeing this, Shulka couldn't help frowning, it was obvious that this driver was not a veteran, otherwise they would not have been scared like this.
The driver assigned by the high-level commander is not a veteran with combat experience?
What's going on?
At this moment, something went wrong in front of him, and when the German side three wheels were turning a corner, the machine gunner fired a shuttle of bullets in front of the machine gunner...... The bullet hit one of the jeeps at the forefront.
Then there was a bang, and the jeep lost control and rolled sideways a few times in the middle of the road.
This caused a series of "traffic accidents", the second jeep crashed into it before it could dodge and couldn't move, and the third jeep slammed the steering wheel to dodge, but hit too big and hit the snow wall on the side of the road.
The two jeeps in the back had no choice but to stop because the road was blocked and impassable.
Several officers and guards got out of the car, and they fled along the road while shooting backwards in a panic.
"These idiots!" Shulka couldn't help but scold.
At this time, they should immediately avoid the road and run into the field, and they can also leave a few people in the field as snipers to block the enemy's pursuit, and the others will have a greater chance of escaping.
And they continued to flee along the road...... This is almost looking for death, as long as the Germans use tanks to knock through the wreckage of those jeeps, and then armored vehicles, side three-wheelers, etc., they will catch up with them like Monkey King chasing turtles.
However, for now, they did the right thing, because Shulka and the others were lying in ambush in front of them, no more than a hundred meters away.
"Calm down!" Shulka ordered in a low voice: "Don't expose yourself without an order!" ”
The warriors passed the order on one by one.
Eighty meters.
The Soviet officers were moving very slowly, some of them were wounded, and the guards seemed to be frightened, and they all fled with the officers as if they were crazy, turning around and shooting indiscriminately as they ran...... They could have relied on the cover of the jeep to block for a while.
Of course, this requires a spirit of self-sacrifice, because to stay behind against the enemy is to give up hope of their own survival.
All of them are unwilling to give up, so there is no hope for all of them...... If there were no Shulka and the others.
Sixty meters.
Gunfire was already heard from the rear, because the jeeps were jammed together, and even the Germans could not pass through the side three wheelers, so the Germans could only stop and shoot at the Soviets.
They were waiting, waiting for the rear tanks to catch up.
Fifty meters.
A tank "rumbled" over, the tracks mercilessly ran over the jeep, and then in a "sonorous" sound, the jeep was quickly rolled into a pile of scrap metal, and soon the road was knocked out of a passage.
Then the tank stopped, adjusted the muzzle of the gun, and with a "boom", a shell blew up several Soviet guards who were behind and flew into the air and fell hard.
"Comrade Captain!" The instructor whispered a reminder from the side.
Shulka knew why the instructor was in a hurry, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that it would be too late.
But Shulka still didn't give the order.
Because at this time the enemy tank was a hundred meters away, exactly outside the range of the bazooka.
If Shulka and his party reveal their whereabouts too early, it will be difficult to deal with those two tanks in the future, and they will even become the target of German massacres.
The tank continued to move forward, and the Germans in the rear followed in the side three wheels.
At this time, the German soldiers were no longer in a hurry, because they knew that these officers could not escape, so they laughed and fired into the sky with machine guns...... They clearly wanted to catch them alive, and living Soviet officers were more valuable to them.
This was exactly what Shulka wanted, so he continued to wait without saying a word.
Looking at the Soviet officers and their entourage, their faces were so frightened that their faces were deformed, and the highest rank among them was a lieutenant general, who was fleeing with his hands and feet while shouting angrily at the guards around him, looking very embarrassed.
