Chapter 216: Private House

Shulka and his party waited in the house for two days.

Although the environment inside the houses is much better than outside, it is a kind of psychological torture for people, especially in order not to attract the attention of the German army, they cannot step out of the houses even if they are bombed by German artillery and aircraft...... These artillery and aircraft fire were not aimed at the houses inside the village, but a line of defense built by the Soviet troops outside the village.

It was the 316th Division, and they were the only fully manned unit of the 16th Army that Moscow replenished, and even the 4th Tank Brigade could not be counted as "fully manned".

In the village, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the 4th Tank Brigade was active, which built anti-aircraft positions in the area to protect the Volokolamsk logistics supply line...... When the 4th Tank Brigade "moved out" of Tver, Volokolamsk became a supply line.

This arrangement was so that the tanks and troops hidden in the civilian houses were not exposed, and even the soldiers of the 316th Division on the outer defense line knew nothing about it.

But even so, shells would still fall into the village one after another, sometimes setting fire to private houses, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion hurriedly organized firefighting, but the soldiers hiding inside still did not dare to move, and could only watch all this.

Shulka believed that if the fire did spread, it would be difficult for them to hold on, and the soldiers who rushed out of the house might be seen by German reconnaissance planes or scouts and show their feet.

Luckily, it was raining and snowing, the houses were damp, and the water supply system in the village had been repaired, so the soldiers of the artillery battalion quickly extinguished the fire.

The instructor was not concerned about this, he sat down next to Shulka who was boringly wiping his gun, and asked in a low voice, "This is your idea?" ”

"What?" Shulka pretended not to know what the instructor meant.

"Don't pretend to be confused, Comrade Shulka!" The instructor said, "That's not the order from the superiors, at least not to let us stay here and smell our own urine!" ”

It's good to stay in a private house, the food is dry food prepared in the morning, the living place is very dry upstairs, and some houses even have a small bed on the roof...... This was learned by telephone, and in order for the detachments to work together, telephone lines were connected between the houses, and the soldiers used the telephone to talk nonsense with other units when they were bored.

The only bad thing is that there are no toilets in the houses, and the toilets are usually built outdoors in the village huts.

As a result, the soldiers had to dig a hole with sapper shovels in the corner of the house.

This is not bad, a few soldiers drink a little wine and dizzy urine is scattered everywhere, and the actors always like to bring the tank tracks, they don't think there are many such opportunities in normal times.

If Fedosyev found out, he would reprimand them.

"Hey!" He said: "Don't you know that you have to follow behind the tank tracks? ”

"It's okay, Comrade Ensign!" The actor replied with a smile: "I'm not the only one who follows the track, and I will never stand directly behind it!" ”

This immediately drew a chorus of scolding from the other warriors.

After a long time, the house naturally smelled bad, just like the instructor said, "smelling your own urine".

After a moment's hesitation, Shulka replied: "Yes, Comrade Instructor, this is indeed my idea!" ”

The instructor frowned, and then said, "Then you have to hope that this idea will work, or they won't give up!" ”

Shulka nodded silently.

"Do you know what they're going to do?" The instructor almost gritted his teeth and said to Shulka: "They will put all the blame on you, the cause of the failure, and the loss, everything...... It's all because you don't obey orders and don't listen to them! ”

Shulka asked rhetorically, "If we had obeyed orders, wouldn't they have done this?" ”

Hearing this, the instructor couldn't help but be stunned.

What Shulka said was that there was no word for the so-called sin of wanting, even if everything was carried out according to the orders of the High Command...... But as long as the battle is lost, the best excuse is that the soldiers on the front line are not brave and resolute enough.

This has happened many times.

"So!" "I don't think we made the wrong choice, and that's all we can do!" Shulka said. ”

Seeing that the instructor did not speak, Shulka said again: "Even to some extent, they helped us!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"You know!" "The Germans have planted a lot of spies in our unit, and these spies are always on the lookout for their superiors and even getting information from them......," Shulka said.

When I heard this, the instructor understood.

If even their own superiors had been deceived, then the Germans would have been convinced.

Shulka was right.

Feng. Bock had no suspicions about the 4th Tank Brigade moving north to Tver, and the information from the intelligence officers played a decisive role.

The German Gestapo had a systematic approach to this, and they were very good at using Soviet prisoners.

Some of the Soviet prisoners, especially the officers, would not have become German intelligence officers, and they did not even think about it.

But......

The Gestapo, on the other hand, will try to get a little useful information from them during the interrogation, not much, just a little is enough, such as the deployment of fire on a certain front, the location of ammunition depots, etc.

Some of the information was even outdated and completely useless, and was revealed by Soviet officers knowing that the Germans had occupied these areas.

But...... If they thought they would be able to fool the Germans, they were thinking too simply.

The Gestapo would record all of this and then it would be evidence, evidence of the surrender of these officers.

Then things are simple.

The Gestapo would take these recordings and say to these Soviet officers: "We will let you go back, you must work for us, that is, to collect some information that will be useful to us." Otherwise......"

Otherwise, there is no need to say more about the rest of the words, the Germans will send the recording directly to the Soviet army, and even play it on the front line, and then these officers will not be able to tell even if they are full of mouths.

It was through this method that the Gestapo succeeded in installing many valuable intelligence officers in the Soviet army.

"They're finished!" Feng. Bock happily said to the adjutant: "The 4th Tank Brigade is attacking Tver!" ”

"Shall we rush to Tver to surround them?" The adjutant asked.

"No!" Feng. "We are not going to attack Tver, it is Volokolamsk, and our armored division cannot confront the Russians head-on with this tank brigade, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses!" ”
