Chapter 40: Headquarters

Pukarev was reluctant to attack the building, because he considered it to be a murder of the main forces of the Soviet army...... As mentioned before, the rope bridge is not in danger to defend, and the Soviet army will inevitably have a lot of casualties.

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

Shulka waved his hand, and the warriors took cover in the darkness against the building under the cover of buildings and ruins.

Under Pukarev's command, they approached the building in two parts, one on the left and one on the right, and then dispersed 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, including the building.

The two German guards in front of the main gate were a bit of trouble, but they didn't even think that the enemy had infiltrated here, so they got together and chatted while smoking cigarettes.

Shulka took a closer look as he passed the window...... They were all covered in a thick black cloth, and Shulka was even more sure he was right.

The German command here, at least the command of the German army in the Volyn fortress.

The reason is simple, it is not allowed to light a fire on the battlefield, which will make itself a target for enemy artillery fire.

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

The command needs to read maps, process documents, and send telegrams...... All of this requires lighting, and a common method on the battlefield is to enclose a space with a black cloth or poncho as a headquarters.

The light that Shulka saw was the light that came out of the German soldiers as they came out of the headquarters.

Others may not take this seriously, but Shulka realizes that this may well be the crux of the battle: as long as the German headquarters is destroyed in the first place, the Germans will not be able to report the situation and warn the bridge in time, and the danger of the next battle will be much less.

While Shulka was thinking about this, Pukarev waved his hand, and two Soviet soldiers touched up from the darkness to eliminate the two German guards.

The word "solve" is easy to say, and Shulka at the scene felt it differently.

One of the German guards was dragged to Shulka's side, perhaps because the Soviet soldiers who touched the sentry were inexperienced, although the spur pierced into the guard's body but did not die immediately, he struggled desperately to shout out, but his mouth was covered tightly, and he could only make a "whine" sound. He kicked his feet in pain, but was soon pressed back to the ground where he couldn't move.

Shulka soon joined them, because the force of the explosion of people in extreme pain was unimaginable, and several people could not suppress it, and this was likely to warn the German troops in the command headquarters to make things more uncertain.

Shulka held down the guard's arm, in fact using all his body weight to hold it down, causing the arm to break free several times without success.

Then, the strength in the arm became weaker and weaker, and soon it turned into a convulsion, convulsions, as if shivering in the cold of winter.

Soon the convulsions became intermittent, then the intervals became longer and longer, and eventually they never moved again.

It was a horrific experience, and although the Soviet soldiers had to do it, they were actually controlling a person, making him unable to make a sound, unable to move, and then slowly dying in this state of terror, despair, helplessness and pain.

Although Shulka couldn't bear it, he didn't hesitate...... He didn't have time to hesitate, because the slightest mistake and hesitation could wipe out the commando.

He picked up his submachine gun and joined the other fighters against the wall to prepare for battle.

Pukarev nodded, and the fighters on either side of the door pulled out a grenade, lit it, and then violently lifted the black cloth blocking the door, and threw the grenade inside......

There was a panicked scream from inside the building, followed by two explosions of "boom", followed by screams.

The Soviet soldier with a submachine gun rushed in with a submachine gun as soon as he turned around.

Shulka was a few steps behind, and when he rushed in, it was already in a mess, and the surviving Germans fought hard, but most of the Germans in the command were only armed with pistols and were no match for the submachine guns in the Soviet army's hands.

A German officer leaned out of the compartment and raised his pistol, but before he could pull the trigger, he was knocked to the ground by a bullet from Shulka...... The PPD submachine gun, with a total of 71 rounds with the upper drum, is enough to fight a small battle.

The veteran was very agile, and the figure in front of him jumped up and threw a grenade into the compartment.

With a "boom", Shulka and the veteran rushed in with submachine guns...... Several German communications soldiers lay on the ground, unaware of their lives and deaths, next to several telephones and a radio station that was still ticking.

Matvey did not hesitate, and with a pull of the trigger, he refilled the German soldiers on the ground with a few rounds of ammunition, and Shulka was busy pulling out the telephone line and destroying the radio station.

Shulka breathed a sigh of relief after doing this, it was clear that the Germans had not been able to send the message, and they did not even know what kind or what level of attack they were subjected to.

At this time, fierce gunfire was also heard in the direction of the bridgehead.

Needless to say, the main forces of the Soviet army, lurking on the other side, launched an attack after hearing the movement on this side.

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

"Yes, Comrade Tuas!"

This arrangement is reasonable.

It was important to clean up the battlefield because the Soviets had to make sure that no one survived or hid somewhere, otherwise he would have lost all his efforts by escaping at night to ventilate the news or use the telephone from elsewhere to warn them.

It was also important to support the bridgehead, which was crucial to whether the main Soviet forces could successfully cross the bridge and carry out the next steps.

Obviously, though, it's easier to clean up the battlefield in the headquarters.

"Wow!" The actor let out a smug cry while flipping over the German corpses on the ground: "Look, there's a lieutenant colonel here...... I think he died under my gun! ”

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

"Then you must not have found out that he faked his death!" The actor replied.

"Really?" The thief pulled the trigger to replenish the gun on the corpse on the ground and asked, "So when did you replenish his bullets?" ”

"It's now!" The actor picked up the gun and shot a little shot: "Look, it's right in the head!" ”

As the warriors were doing this, Shulka noticed a shadow sticking out from the bottom edge, and he glanced at the veteran, and the two approached cautiously with their submachine guns on the left and right.

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

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

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