Chapter 588: A big deal sent to the door
Hearing of the village ahead, Lieutenant Conings perked up and walked briskly to the front of the line. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Under the guidance of the spearhead, Lieutenant Conings looked ahead, and the path under his feet stretched all the way until more than thirty meters away, intersecting with another country dirt road to form a cross.
A sharp soldier pointed to the north side of the intersection, and Lieutenant Conings saw a dozen columns of white smoke floating above the treetops on the far side of the path, which were the smoke of the villagers' cooking for breakfast.
Go and see if there are any Russians in it.
The assault team rushed to the village to the north, and after passing through more than 500 meters of woodland, Lieutenant Conings's eyes suddenly brightened.
A village came into view.
Approaching the village, the assault team rushed into the woods beside the road, carefully approaching the village under the cover of the dense forest.
After carefully observing the village for a few minutes, Lieutenant Conings was disappointed that no one in military uniform was seen in the village.
Lieutenant Conings looked at the team members wearing Soviet uniforms around him, and instantly made a decision to go to the village to explore the way.
Half of the commandos remained outside the village, and Lieutenant Conings himself led another group to the village, where they were soon spotted by villagers who had risen early to walk through the village.
Seeing a squad of heavily armed GIs appear, the villagers took refuge.
Conings called out to a teenager who couldn't dodge, and led him to the village chief's house.
After a brief introduction, Lieutenant Konings asked in Russian: "Mr. Fedyuninsky, we are at war with the Finns, have you seen the Finns' army?" ”
The village chief, who is in his fifties, Fzyuninsky dangled his gray-haired head.
"No Finns have ever been here, not even you, the first soldiers I have seen in two years."
Lieutenant Konings pulled out a map in Russian and asked Fedyuninsky for directions.
Since the establishment of the Soviet Union, it has been a fairly closed country, and it is difficult for spies to operate freely, especially in remote areas like the Soviet-Finnish border area, whether it is Finland or Germany, there is no detailed map to use.
The result disappointed Lieutenant Konings, and Fedyuninsky looked at the mutilated map and couldn't tell why.
In the end, Fedyuninsky still used the local method, took Konings to the entrance of the village, pointed to several dirt roads at the entrance of the village, and explained to Lieutenant Konings that if you go along this road to the south, how far you can go to reach such and such a town, and how far you can go along the road to the west, you will reach such and such a road.
Lieutenant Konings struggled to memorize the information provided by Fedyuninsky, then rejected Fedyuninsky's offer to leave them for breakfast, and led the assault team to set off again.
According to the information provided by Fedyuninsky, Lieutenant Konings took the dirt road to the west, because Fedyuninsky said that this dirt road would lead to a road, and since there was a road, it was possible to encounter the Soviet supply convoy, and then the commando team could do a few big deals.
After about two hours, the tired commandos were in good spirits, and an intersection appeared more than 200 meters in front of the dirt road, and a wooden road sign stood next to the crossroads.
Lieutenant Conings quickened his pace and followed the assault team for about thirty meters, when a bunch of Gaz trucks suddenly flashed across the intersection.
A convoy of about a dozen Gass trucks crossed the intersection, and Lieutenant Conings and the commandos could only watch as the convoy vanished.
Let go of a big fish, damn it!
Lieutenant Conings ran briskly towards the intersection and looked in the direction where the convoy had disappeared, only to see the dust raised along the way, and the figure of the convoy fading away.
Konings glanced at the road sign on the side of the road, and the arrow pointing south showed Leningrad, thirty-five kilometers.
Looking again to the north of the convoy, Lieutenant Conings suddenly noticed that the convoy seemed to have stopped.
Picking up the binoculars, Lieutenant Connings looked at the convoy and saw that the convoy had only slowed down, one by one turning to the right and disappearing into the forest.
What's hiding in the forest over there? A series of question marks crossed Lieutenant Conings' mind.
Is it a supply base?
Lieutenant Conings waved to his men, and the commandos rushed into the forest on the side of the road, using the cover of the forest, in the direction where the convoy had disappeared.
After walking about six or seven hundred meters, a fork in the road appeared to the right, which connected to a small town surrounded by forests.
Between the houses of the town, the figures of people in military uniforms flashed from time to time.
After a moment of careful observation, Lieutenant Conings retreated into the depths of the forest.
"Contact the Air Force and ask them to send bombers." Lieutenant Conings said to the dispatcher.
"Prepare flares and smoke grenades." Lieutenant Conings gave another order to the commandos.
With that, Lieutenant Connings pulled out a white elastic band arm from his coat pocket and put it on his left arm, and the other commandos did the same・・・・・・
When Lieutenant Konings was preparing to make a big deal with the Air Force, the road in front of him stretched seven kilometers north and turned west, passing through a small village called Bez, where the headquarters of the 23rd Army of the Soviet Leningrad Front was located.
In the compound of the headquarters of the army group near the road, the commander of the 23rd Army, Lieutenant General Gerasimov, followed Zhukov and sent Zhukov out of the headquarters.
"Comrade Gerasimov, the German fascists have launched an offensive on Leningrad, I must go back immediately, and the task of protecting the north of Leningrad will be entrusted to you." Zhukov said, holding Gerasimov's hand.
"Comrade commander, don't worry, with our 23rd Army here, not a single Finn will be allowed to enter Leningrad." Gerasimov said.
Zhukov nodded, turned and got into the car, and the convoy set off.
In the carriage, Zhukov sat on a chair with a lot of preoccupation.
Yesterday afternoon, he came to inspect the deployment of the 23rd Army, and this morning he received a report that the Germans had launched a simultaneous offensive against the Volkhov Front and the Leningrad Front, and that the enemy's target was in the direction of Lake Ladoga, which was to cut off the ground connection between the Leningrad Front and the Volkhov Front, which was the most crucial step in the defense of Leningrad.
・・・・・・
Deep in the forest, a commando finds Lieutenant Conings.
"Lieutenant, there's a situation."
Lieutenant Conings followed the commandos to the edge of the forest, looked north of the road, and saw a convoy approaching their hideout.
Inside the telescope, Lieutenant Conings saw that the convoy was a BA series armored car at the head, and there seemed to be trucks behind it.
Lieutenant Connings thought for a moment and decided to let the convoy go.
On the other side of the road is a small town occupied by the Soviet army, and if this convoy is attacked and the Soviet troops in the opposite town are alarmed, I am afraid that the effect of the air attack will be affected.
Lieutenant Conings made up his mind and was about to retreat into the depths of the forest when his eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance again.
The convoy approached their hideout, and behind the BA armored body at the head, another vehicle loomed.
It's a car, it's a car, and there must be a Russian official in it.
"Call them and get ready for battle."
Lieutenant Conings raised his hand and pulled the bolt of the Bobosha submachine gun in his hand, turned to the commandos who rushed to his side, and said:
"Take a car first, and don't leave a living."
Lieutenant Conings' shouts echoed through the forest, and the convoy dragged the flying dust all the way to Lieutenant Conings.
Raising Bobosha in his hand, Lieutenant Conings let go of the BA armored car that had been hit by the head, aimed at the sedan that was following behind and pulled the trigger.
In the fierce gunfire, the right door of the sedan was instantly chiseled by bullets into countless bullet holes, turned into a sieve, and the windows of the car shattered to the ground.
Gunfire erupted in the forest, and bullets rained down on the two cars in the convoy.
Two sedans with a scarred body rushed off the road and crashed into the woods on the side of the road, and black smoke came out of the body of one sedan.
Two cars were destroyed, and the commando team immediately turned to the two gas trucks.
In the frenzied gunfire, the two trucks were instantly beaten beyond recognition, and several Soviet infantry flew out of the rear compartment.
The last car of the convoy, also a BA armored car, was suddenly attacked, and the driver of the BA armored car applied the brakes so that it did not hit the rear compartment of the truck in front.
Retreating some distance, the armored vehicle turned around and rushed into the woods on the east side of the road, through the thin woods, and crashed headlong into the town on the east side of the woods.
The armored car rushed into the depths of the town, came to a stop close to the side of the road, and jumped first a sergeant, then an officer with a large-brimmed hat.
This officer was none other than Zhukov.
Arriving at safety, Zhukov recovered from his panic.
If it weren't for today's impromptu desire to try the performance of the BA-20 armored car, I am afraid that I would have died by this time.
"Assemble now and destroy the enemies in the forest." Zhukov shouted to several nearby soldiers in a daze.
Seeing the anger of the comrade general, the Soviet troops in the town came to their senses, and in a series of shouts, hundreds of infantry poured out of the town, swarming to the ambush scene on the road on the side of the town.
Raising his hand and throwing a green smoke bomb, Lieutenant Conings turned and ran deeper into the forest.
"Retreat, retreat."
In the midst of the dense gunfire, Lieutenant Conings still heard the roar of the plane's engines, and the bomber group was about to arrive, and his mission had been completed and he could retreat.
A group of more than twenty planes flew in the southern sky, and in the distance they could see the green and black smoke on the ground, and it was easy to find the target.
Soon, eight ME-109 fighters rushed to the road, sweeping away the exposed Soviet infantry.
Twelve Stuka dive bombers were ordered to aim at the town on the side of the road.
In the town, Zhukov shouted angrily: "Who are these enemies, Finns or Germans, or partisans." Where did they come from and why are they here? That damn Gerasimov, I'm going to remove him, um・・・・・・"
Zhukov suddenly looked up and looked at the sky, just in time to see a group of planes flying in the distance.
Zhukov's keen battlefield instincts told him that he was in the midst of another major crisis.
"Run, hide, find air defense positions."
Zhukov, like the rest of the town's soldiers, frantically searched for a place to hide.
The oppressive feeling of Stuka as he dived left the town in chaos, filled with soldiers and civilians running wildly.
Bombs fell one after another, and the whole town was in flames.
In the rumbling explosion, Zhukov felt an invisible wall hit his back, and his body involuntarily flew out, and a gesture of gnawing mud flew out, and there was darkness in front of him.
