At eight o'clock that night, it was completely dark.

Suddenly, several red flares rose into the sky, followed by a burst of gunfire, followed by mortar shells smashing towards the east.

"Here they are, organize the defense!" Major Müller gave a loud order, commanding his men to drive the tanks up one by one, and at the same time fired rows of flares in front of him, illuminating the surroundings in snow.

Although the tank is basically incapable of night fighting, it is still used for defense if it uses flares constantly...... Tanks and pillboxes were joined together to form a steel line, and Major Müller believed that no one could get by.

"Come on, you bastards!" Major Müller gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you a good look!" ”

Perhaps it was Kleist who gave Major Müller a chance for revenge, and he put Major Müller in charge of cutting off the Soviet 333rd Regiment from the main forces and organizing the defense.

This was exactly what Müller wanted, especially the latter, who organized the defense of the east was in fact a dead encirclement of the Soviets, and Major Müller could not wait to see the Russians rush up in groups and fall under the guns of the Germans...... Major Müller swore to wash his shame away with the blood of the enemy.

But to the surprise of Major Müller, the enemy's directional guns were fierce, but not many men charged, and there were bursts of smoke grenades to interfere with the view.

"They must have been too scared to attack!" Mueller looked at the tanks and pillboxes next to him and smiled a little smugly.

This is not surprising, even if you see this battle, you will inevitably retreat.

However, ten minutes later, in the darkness on the other side, a group of "Germans" was advancing to the south under the cover of tanks.

Guarding here was Captain Erich, who rushed from the command to the front at the moment when the guns rang out...... To be exact, the encirclement, they are actually already in the second line.

"Keep your eyes open!" Captain Erich ordered loudly: "Don't let the Russians run away, any of them!" ”

"Yes, Captain!" The German soldiers replied.

"I don't think they're going to attack here!" The adjutant raised his head to the east: "It's a fierce fight over there!" ”

"I know, Duden!" Captain Erich replied: "But we can't let our guard down either, this group of Russians is different!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant agreed: "I heard that they fled all the way from the Brest Fortress here!" It's hard to imagine, Brest ......"

"General Frix is looking for them everywhere!" Captain Erich and the adjutant couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Major General Fricks was the commander of the 45th Division, and he was responsible for directing the assault on the Brest Fortress, and the successful breakthrough of this Russian army became a joke for the Germans after intense fighting.

At this moment, the sound of "rumbling" motors and the tracks of tanks was faintly heard in the sound of gunfire.

"What's going on?" Captain Erich said.

It was normal for Captain Erich to be surprised, because the Soviet troops who were surrounded inside were infantry in the fortified area, and they did not have tanks, and now they heard the sound of tanks......

A few flares rose into the air, and two tanks, a No. 3 tank and a No. 3 assault gun, were in Captain Erich's sight, surrounded by a group of German soldiers armed with submachine guns and rifles.

"These bastards!" Captain Erich scolded: "Don't they know that it is dangerous to do this? ”

"Probably troops rushing to the east for reinforcements!" The adjutant said, "These reckless fellows have come into our encirclement!" ”

"Hey!" Captain Erich shouted at the other side, "Which part are you from?" ”

There was no reply from the other side, probably because the sound of the tank's motors and gunfire prevented them from hearing Captain Erich's shouting.

"Horn, bring me my horn!" Captain Erich ordered.

Then he held up the bullhorn and shouted again.

A man stood out of the darkness, who replied in standard but somewhat trembling German: "We are from the 3rd Panzer Battalion and have been ordered to reinforce ......"

This time it was Captain Erich's turn to hear clearly.

"Come on, you're in our encirclement!" Captain Erich scoffed: "Don't you know that you are pointing your ass at the Russians? They don't like that! ”

A group of German officers and soldiers nearby burst into laughter.

There was no answer from the other side, and they continued to follow the tank step by step.

After a while, Captain Erich sensed that something was wrong, as he noticed that the group of "German soldiers" was not in good shape...... The uniforms on their bodies were either too large or too small, and each one was tattered and bloodstained.

It doesn't seem strange that there are blood stains, after all, this is the battlefield, and the battlefield will be wounded.

The problem was that they wore bloodstained uniforms without the slightest appearance of being wounded.

"Hey, stop!" Thinking of this, Captain Erich shouted at the opposite side.

But it was too late to wake up, and with a shout, the "German soldiers" rushed over the tanks.

Captain Erich read that right, these "German soldiers" were actually disguised by the Soviet army, and Shulka was even one of them.

Shulka was reluctant to accept the task, because it was always the most dangerous to rush to the front.

The problem is that both Major Gavrilov and Commissar Fomin believe in Shulka's resilience.

"You know English, Comrade Shulka!" Commissar Fuming said: "Only you can communicate with the captives!" ”

"What's more important is that you have wisdom that no one else has." Political Commissar Fuming said: "You know how to deal with emergencies, which others do not have!" ”

Shulka knew that Major Gavrilov was putting a top hat on himself, but what Commissar Fomin said was true, they had to carry a few German prisoners in front of them so that they could not show their feet.

So, Shulka and his men, to be exact, Shulka's battalion...... More than a hundred people all changed into military uniforms stripped from the corpses of German soldiers.

Of course, these uniforms will not fit very well, and there are holes and blood stains everywhere.

"Oh, I don't like that!" The veteran wiped the blood from his clothes and complained, "Can't we fight them openly?" ”

"Absolutely!" Shulka said: "And we have a good chance of winning! ”

"And why is that?" The veteran asked.

"The problem is that we don't have time!" Shulka explained: "We have to fight quickly, and if we get them around or take a little more time, and when the Germans from other directions react and get here, we will all die!" ”

"I see!" The veteran nodded: "You are right, Comrade squad leader!" ”
