Dealing with the partisans was, of course, an asymmetrical battle, and Shulka didn't even bother to command such a battle, so he had the right to let his subordinates practice marksmanship.

However, of course, this task is not all so simple, after repulsing the enemy, the troops have to get out of the vehicle to search for the remnants.

On the one hand, this is for the needs of railway safety, otherwise the armored train will come up to lay mines and explosives just past the enemy's hind feet, then the armored train will be meaningless.

On the other hand, it was the sappers who had to get off the train to repair the railway.

The sappers need to work under the light source, which requires the combat unit to open a safe area around it, otherwise the sappers can easily be shot by the Germans.

Again, this is a small battle.

The railway sappers moved quickly, dismantling the damaged rails and sleepers and replacing them with good ones, and the whole process only took ten minutes.

The soldiers who had been released after the sapper work was completed were also able to return to the train, along with a few German prisoners.

It's just that the soldiers came back with strange expressions, especially Antipunov, who was sweating profusely and kept chanting a prayer with words in his mouth.

"What's the situation?" Shulka asked the veteran.

It was the veteran's platoon that had just gotten out of the car to carry out the mission.

"They killed many civilians, Comrade Second Lieutenant!" The veteran raised his head towards the darkness on the left: "There is a forest there, and the corpse is hanging from the tree!" ”

"Mostly women, but also old people and children!" The actor added.

Shulka nodded and didn't speak.

Such incidents were not uncommon for the German army, especially since most of the German skirmishers were SS special squads.

"How can they do this, Comrade Ensign!" Antipunov raised his head and looked at Shulka: "Those civilians, they have no weapons and do not pose a threat to anyone......"

"You have to ask those Germans, Comrade Antipunov!" Shulka raised his head at the German prisoners who were tied up and dropped at the back of the carriage.

And then Shulka ignored Antipunov, these things need to be digested by himself.

In fact, it's a miracle that someone like him has survived so far.

This was mainly due to the fact that tonight's battle was tactically smooth, and the third company did not engage the Germans in hand-to-hand combat:

The first was to attack the bridgehead line, although it was very dangerous, but the entire attack was completed in a few minutes, and the Germans quickly retreated, and it was the T34 tanks that rushed ahead.

Then they boarded the armored train, and basically shot from the inside of the car.

Therefore, Antipunov can survive until now even if he shoots into the sky, at most a few bullets are wasted.

If there is any surprise, then a random bullet on the north bank of the Volga bridge can actually hit a target...... People say that novices who can't play cards tend to have good luck, and it seems that this is really the case.

But if you are fighting hand-to-hand combat and fighting the enemy with bayonets face-to-face, you will almost not be spared if you still have this idea of not killing.

So Antipunov was a bit lucky.

"Are you all here?" Shulka asked.

"Yes, Comrade Ensign!" Pukarev replied that he was in charge of counting the number of people.

"Drive!" Shulka ordered: "Let's see what other unfortunate Franz has stopped us!" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

But at this time, there were suddenly several gunshots, and the soldiers habitually raised their guns, and then they saw that several German prisoners had fallen in a pool of blood, and all of them fell to the ground with a shot in the head.

"I said, don't kill the captives!" Shulka couldn't help but be angry when he saw this.

But Shulka lost his temper at the sight of the man who fired the shot.

It was Antipunov, who was holding a rifle in his hand, and there was a little green smoke from the muzzle, and he was looking at the corpse on the ground in a daze.

Then, as if suddenly reacting, Antipnov walked up to Shulka and stood up and said: "Sorry, Comrade Ensign! ”

"Because of killing?" Shulka asked.

"No, I killed the captives against your orders!"

Shulka smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter, we have captives anyway!" ”

The fighters burst into laughter.

"Please, Comrade Antipunov!" The actor protested, "The next time you do that, remember to take them out!" ”

There was another burst of laughter in the carriage.

The veteran even took out a bottle and held it high, shouting: "Come on, comrades! Cheers to Antipnov to be one of us! ”

"Cheers!"

……

After a few sips of wine, I don't know who started it, the soldiers sang "If War Comes Tomorrow" to the "click" of the armored train.

Shulka didn't know who wrote the song, but felt that the lyrics were written in the mood just like the Soviet Union at this time:

"If the war is tomorrow, if the enemy attacks

If the power of darkness comes suddenly

As a person, the entire Soviet people

For the sake of a free Fatherland - rise up!

……”

It was to this song that the armored train left for Moscow.

When the armored train entered Moscow, to Shulka and others' surprise, the entire railway station was boiling.

Although it was still dark because of martial law, there was a cheer.

Later Shulka learned that the victory of the 4th Tank Brigade in Tver had already spread through the streets on Moscow's radio, especially since Shulka and others had captured an armored train...... The Supreme High Command, of course, will not miss this rare opportunity to boost morale.

Therefore, when it was learned that the armored train was going back to Moscow, many civilians asked to meet them at the railway station.

Originally, it was not allowed because of martial law, but it was the "enthusiasm of the people" and an encouragement to the heroes, so the people who applied were allowed to come and greet them.

I didn't expect this to be troublesome.

The entire train station is crowded...... At this time, if the Germans bombed the railway station, it would undoubtedly cause great casualties.

This made the air defense forces of the whole of Moscow nervous, and even all the Soviet air defense units in the second line of defense were alerted to the battle.

Of course, part of this was to cover the retreat of the 32nd Army and the 4th Tank Brigade.

As soon as Shulka got out of the car, he felt a person pounce on him, and in the darkness he didn't even recognize who the other person was.

However, Shulka soon knew who she was, as he saw the other party's boat-shaped military cap and the major's epaulettes.

"Valrasha!" Shulka excitedly hugged her and spun around.

"It's nice to see you again, my hero!" "I want to know, would you like to be interviewed by me?" ”

"Of course!" Shulka replied.

For some reason, in the midst of that atmosphere, or in the darkness and crowds, Shulka naturally kissed Valrasha's lips.
