Gavrilov ordered the communications corpsmen to set up a radio station and make calls.

"If ......," said Major Gavrilov, "if our troops can launch a counteroffensive against the enemy at the same time, we still have a chance!" ”

Gavrilov was right, because it was a two-sided attack, and it was night, and the German tanks were bound to fall into disarray.

The problem is that the Soviets are retreating, and they are still retreating to the defense of the "Stalin Line", and more importantly, ...... The radio station is still the same as usual, nothing can be contacted.

"We don't have time!" Political Commissar Fuming looked at his watch, shook his head and said, "Even if they contact the friendly forces now, they will not be able to organize a counteroffensive in twenty minutes!" ”

The speed of reaction of the Soviet troops of this era was well known, especially when retreating in a hurry.

"Then there's only one way!" Major Gavrilov stood up straight, tightened the belt around his waist, and said: "Take a few more grenades, and we'll hit them!" ”

"Yes, Major!"

"Yes!"

……

Without saying a word, the Soviet soldiers took out grenades from the ammunition compartment and pinned them to their waists, even Agata and other female soldiers.

However, Shulka later learned that the female soldiers of Agata did not use the grenades to fight the Germans, but for themselves.

Only Shulka stood still, he looked at the German cars, and then at the Soviet prisoners sitting on the ground, restrained, looking at the Soviet prisoners with terrified eyes...... The captives clearly knew that if the Russians were going to take a desperate gamble, their lives would not be long.

Sure enough, a Soviet soldier asked: "Major, what about these prisoners?" ”

Major Gavrilov replied without thinking: "Send these invaders to hell!" ”

"Yes, Major!" As he spoke, the soldiers pulled the bolt and raised their guns.

"No, no, stop! Put the gun down! "Shulka stopped them.

"What's wrong, Shulka?" The Cossacks mocked: "Do you pity these Fritz? (Fritz is the Soviet name given to a German soldier)

Many Soviet officers and soldiers threw suspicious glances at Shulka, including Major Gavrilov and Commissar Fomin.

"Why don't we disguise ourselves and mix in with the enemy's front?" Shulka said: "Take advantage of these captives! ”

"Disguise?" Major Gavrilov was puzzled and said, "You mean disguised as a German?" ”

"Yes!"

"But we don't have German uniforms, Shulka!" Agata interjected, "And our ......"

As she spoke, Agata waved her hand behind her, and the female soldiers behind her were even dressed in civilian clothes.

"Agata is right!" Major Gavrilov agreed: "Camouflage may be a good idea, but we don't have time to get so many uniforms and equipment!" ”

"And German and other things!" Political Commissar Fuming said: "They only need to ask us a few words casually and they will show their flaws!" ”

They are right, there are more than 500 Soviet soldiers, which means that 500 sets of military uniforms and equipment, as well as documents and the like, are indeed difficult to get through.

But......

"We don't need to pretend!" Shulka said.

"What does it mean that you don't need to disguise?" Major Gavrilov was confused: "You mean...... We just walked over and told the Germans that we were their people? ”

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "That's pretty much it! ”

Major Gavrilov was stunned, and then the soldiers around him laughed out loud with a "coax".

"You must be crazy, Shulka!" Major Gavrilov said: "You should know that we don't have much time left, it's not funny at all! ”

"I'm not kidding, Comrade Major!" Shulka said: "And I'm not crazy, I know what I'm talking about!" ”

"So......" Major Gavrilov asked with some indignation, "tell me, why do the Germans believe us?" Look at our uniforms, our rifles, and our faces! ”

"That's why they believe us!" Shulka didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"You're taking us to our deaths, Shulka!" The Cossacks fanned the flames on the sidelines.

Commissar Fuming raised his hand to signal the fighters to calm down, and then said to Shulka: "To the point, Shulka, why do they believe us? ”

"Because of the Brandenburg detachment!" Shulka replied: "The Germans were well prepared for the war, and they trained a group of 'Soviets' who could be faked before the war, who spoke Russian, wore our military uniforms, and even drank vodka and spit like us......"

As soon as Shulka said this, everyone fell silent.

The Soviet soldiers had heard about this, because the Germans had done this in blitzkrieg Poland and other countries in Europe.

Major Gavrilov was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, he looked at Shulka with a shocked expression, and asked, "You mean...... We disguised ourselves as our Germans? ”

It was a bit of a mouthful, but Shulka understood.

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "That's what I mean!" ”

"But why do they believe that?" Political Commissar Fuming asked.

This is to the point, it is impossible to say that the Soviets swaggered forward like this, and told them that they were Germans from the Brandenburg detachment.

Shulka bowed his head to the German prisoners on the ground and said, "That's why I said...... Their cooperation is needed! ”

Major Gavrilov and Commissar Fomin looked at each other, then nodded, realizing that this might be the only way to live.

The preparations were made quickly.

In fact, the Soviets did not need to do any preparations, because all they had to do was dress up as themselves.

If anything, it was to empty the car and throw away the German grenades, explosives packs and everything else that was just pinned to the waist...... The Brandenburg detachment would not have infiltrated the Soviet army with anything related to Germany, which would have made people suspicious, so it was also a flaw for the Soviet soldiers.

"But ......," said Venyakov, with some weakness, "what if we don't speak German?" ”

"Then speak Russian!" Shulka replied.

"Are you sure we can fool these Germans?" Agata turned pale.

"I'm not sure!" Shulka replied: "But we only have to try!" ”

That's right, they really have no choice but to give it a go.

What Shulka didn't say was ...... Whether they can deceive the German army is very important is whether the Soviet soldiers are calm.
