Chapter 661: Infiltration
"Flares!" Udavinko ordered loudly.
With a "Teng" sound, a flare hit the air and illuminated everything in front of him, and sure enough, more than a dozen T34 tanks were advancing in the direction of the Soviet army under the cover of a group of Soviet troops.
"Damn it!" Udavinko said nervously: "They are heading towards our minefield! ”
"Guryzkov!" In the next second, Udavinko ordered: "Take a few people up and lead them to the passage!" ”
"Yes, Comrade Udavinko!" Guryzkov answered, and with a wave of his hand, he rushed forward with a few soldiers.
Fortunately, the reinforcements did not have many tanks, only a dozen, and to the surprise of Udavenko...... They coordinated with each other very smoothly, and almost as soon as Guryzkov directed the location of the passage for them, they converged on the passage.
This is not common among tank crews, and Udavinko knew that the Soviet tanks were backward in communications, and in order to do so, he had to be very sensible.
However, this did not seem surprising, since only such elite troops could break through the German lines and rush here.
Another flare was fired, and Udavinko wanted to see the enemy who was chasing the reinforcements behind him and provide them with fire cover.
At this time, several "Soviet soldiers" from the direction of reinforcements jumped into the trenches and shouted in Russian: "Damn, stop firing flares, that will make our tanks a target for the enemy!" ”
When Udavinko heard this, he felt that this was also true, so he hurriedly ordered to stop firing flares.
"Comrade!" Udavinko excitedly asked the soldiers, "Which part are you from?" ”
"We are from the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Army!" The soldier replied: "Comrade Rotmistrov ordered us to come with reinforcements, and we rushed to this ******* with great casualties, and General Rotmistrov Udavinko had heard of it, so the slightest doubt was dispelled."
This "Soviet reinforcement" was actually a mixed regiment formed by the German army.
The basis of this mixed regiment was, of course, the well-trained First Infantry Corps, consisting of a crew of several dozen tanks selected from the Fifth Panzer Regiment, driving T34 tanks captured from the Soviets in the battle of the State Farm, plus a company of Brandenburg troops and two engineering companies.
Needless to say, the former was useful for talking to the Soviets and confusing them, while the latter was used for blasting and laying mines.
In addition, the 21st Panzer Division played a scene with them, which is what the Soviet soldiers saw...... The Soviets broke through the German lines, and the Germans pursued them behind.
In order to make the scene more realistic, they even had a few rehearsals.
"Welcome, comrade!"
"Long live Stalin!"
"Defend Stalingrad to the death!"
……
Qin Chuan and the others lined up to the cheers of the Soviet soldiers and walked into the Stalingrad industrial zone.
Stalingrad.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he stepped into this city, in history, the city was about to become a veritable meat grinder, and the average life span of soldiers sent into this city was only three days...... Hordes and hordes of people poured in and hordes of corpses, and both sides were red-eyed, and all they knew was two things: to be alive and to kill the enemy.
And now, I walked into the city so easily, even deep into its hinterland.
Looking at the soldiers and civilians around them who cheered and waved to them, Qin Chuan and the German soldiers also waved at them with bright smiles and puffed up their chests.
It was very easy for the Soviets to find out if this contingent was real, and they only needed to report the situation to the command, which sent a telegram to the Stalingrad Front (all the telephone lines were cut off by the Germans and could only send telegrams), and it was quickly known if the Soviets had broken through the German lines and reached Stalingrad.
But this is not simple, because on the one hand, there are very few Soviet military radios, and there are only two radio stations that can be used in the whole of Stalingrad...... 1st of the 62nd Army, 1st of the 64th Army.
On the other hand, the 3rd Brigade of the 7th Tank Army was indeed attacking the northern line, and who knows in the dark whether a unit really happened to enter Stalingrad.
Therefore, Qin Chuan was not worried about this, and when they finished their investigation, they were afraid that the first step corps had already completed the task.
But it didn't work out so well.
While the First Infantry was advancing along the streets to the "Red Barricade" artillery factory, an American-made jeep drove up to the front of the team and blocked the way.
A lieutenant jumped out of the jeep and shouted at the team: "Who is your commander?" ”
A "Soviet major" greeted him and replied in fluent Russian: "Our commander is Colonel Goronev, he should be at the back of the ranks!" ”
"You are now under the command of the 62nd Army!" The lieutenant said: "Comrade Lopatin ordered you to be stationed in the new silicate village and wait for the order!" ”
"Okay, Comrade Captain!" The major answered, and then looked at Qin Chuan, who was also in the rank of major.
Qin Chuan took a moment to recall the map he had written down earlier, and knew that the direction of this new silicate village had deviated from the direction of the first target, which was the "Red Barricade" artillery factory.
Not only that, Qin Chuan also knew that the so-called "XX New Village" was originally a dense workers' dormitory area, but at this very moment...... The staff quarters are no longer staff dormitories, they have been piled up with sandbags and converted into bunkers, and the workers have been distributed rifles and grenades to be armed.
If the first corps enters this so-called "silicate new village", I am afraid that it will be mired in the quagmire and it will be difficult to get out of it.
So Qin Chuan glanced at a few soldiers around him, and a few people met the captain and the driver on the jeep.
Seeing that not many people were paying attention, he suddenly covered their mouths and plunged a military thorn into their chests, and finally carried the bodies to the jeep and covered it with canvas, and a German soldier jumped into the jeep and started it and followed the group...... This was not done to seize the jeep, but to fear that leaving the jeep where it was would allow others to discover the body.
All the movements were done in a minute, and the soldiers were members of the Brandenburg detachment, and it was clear from their methods that they had been professionally trained, and even the blood on the ground was covered with mud, so to speak, there was no trace left.
But as the so-called hundred secrets are sparse, they did not notice that on the roof of the building next to them, a common man who admired the demeanor of the "reinforcements" was watching this scene in surprise.
