Chapter 616: Candlestick
In the "clattering" sound of military boots stepping on the gravel on the railway, Qin Chuan led the three companies to rush to the opposite side.
There were corpses of Soviet soldiers everywhere, and it was clear from those bodies that their equipment was very simple, with almost nothing but a rifle and a few rounds...... It is not surprising that a large number of Soviet troops were captured during the German offensive and suffered casualties in the defense of Moscow, so many forces were urgently mobilized.
On the other hand, Soviet industry moved eastward, making it difficult to replenish the necessary equipment for these urgently mobilized forces.
Qin Chuan believed that if it weren't for the fact that Transcaucasia had a certain amount of industrial capacity, these soldiers might not even have rifles.
"The first and second companies continue to attack!" Qin Chuan ordered: "Clear the house three times!" ”
"Yes, Major!"
Several captains answered, and each advanced with his own troops.
Not far away, several soldiers from the third company threw a grenade into the building, then burst in with guns in hand.
After a burst of gunshots, the commander of the third company reported to Qin Chuan: "Major, the house has been cleared!" ”
"Hmm!" Qin Chuan nodded, and walked in with a few guards and the commander of the third company, he needed a place as a command headquarters to coordinate with other troops and command his subordinates to fight.
Before he stepped into the door, a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood poured in front of him, but this was nothing to Qin Chuan, and he strode in without hesitation.
Several soldiers dragged the body aside, and the guards covered the gaps between the windows and doors with black cloths, and then set up maps and radio stations with flashlights......
At this moment, a person suddenly jumped up from the black whirring ground and pounced on Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan habitually blocked forward, a bright military thorn was in front of him, only a few centimeters away from his eyes, Qin Chuan could even feel the chill on the military thorn, and the strong smell of wine that the other party spewed out when he breathed violently almost didn't make Qin Chuan vomit.
The German officers and soldiers shouted for help, but the Soviet soldier was clearly an expert, and he rolled on the floor with all his strength so that the Germans could not distinguish between friend and foe.
At that moment, Qin Chuan suddenly realized that he could only rely on himself.
But Qin Chuan had nothing on him...... In fact, Qin Chuan had a Walter pistol pinned to his waist, but he couldn't use it with his free hand because Qin Chuan's one hand couldn't support it for that long.
When he was distressed, Qin Chuan caught a glimpse of a candlestick on the table on the left side by the light of the flashlight when he was rolling, so he used a little force under his feet to change the direction of the rolling......
With a "taut" sound, the two hit the leg of the table, and the candlestick overturned and fell to the ground under the vibration of the table.
Qin Chuan didn't think much about it, reached out and grabbed the candlestick, and pierced it with the half of the candle on it......
With a miserable scream, Qin Chuan felt that the strength in his hand was weaker, but Qin Chuan didn't dare to take it lightly, and still grabbed the candlestick and stabbed at the other party again and again, until the other party's hand holding the military thorn was completely out of strength.
Qin Chuan stood up from the ground panting, holding a candlestick in his hand, the candle had long been broken, and the tip of the candle was constantly dripping with blood.
Looking at the stunned officers and soldiers around him, Qin Chuan casually threw the candlestick aside, and there was a "sonorous" sound.
"Major!" The commander of the third company hurriedly walked up and said nervously: "I'm sorry, it was my dereliction of duty that I didn't find ......"
"Now is not the time to hold accountable, Captain!" Qin Chuan interrupted him: "Keep up your work, don't make this mistake again next time!" ”
"Yes, Major!" The commander of the third company stepped forward and replied.
The commander of the third company is a captain named Fergeman, and he is also the youngest of the company commanders under Qin Chuan.
On the other hand, all German military academies were closed after World War I (because of the Treaty of Versailles), and they were not opened until after 1935, so the military knowledge that could be taught to the cadets was very limited and may even be backward World War I. For example, Qin Chuan saw the textbook for training snipers before.
Luckily, though, none of this has been seen in Captain Fergelman, at least so far, except for the occasional minor mistake...... It's just that this small mistake almost killed Qin Chuan.
What Qin Chuan didn't know was that the focus of this matter was not these at all, but Qin Chuan's unimaginable mental acumen.
So much so that when the guards spread the news, they sighed for a while:
"What do you think...... Did the Major intentionally hit the table to get the candlestick? ”
"No, it's impossible, you know it's a matter of life and death, a military thorn in front of him will kill him at any time, and he will think of knocking down the candlestick to become his weapon?"
"Believe it or not, we saw it with our own eyes!" The guard replied: "The major changed the direction of the roll, knocked down the menorah, and then grabbed the menorah and plunged it into the eye of the Bolshevik...... The whole action is done in one go without any pauses! ”
"Yes!" Another guard said: "I think the major did it on purpose, and all of us didn't react at the time. In addition, the room was very dimly lit, and if the Major hadn't done it on purpose, he wouldn't have known that what had fallen from the table was a candlestick that could be used as a weapon! So there's only one possibility...... He saw the menorah beforehand and did it consciously! ”
"Unthinkable!" The German soldiers who heard this were dumbfounded.
It's not a question of killing a few people, it's a question of being able to seize any opportunity in a life-or-death situation, even if you don't have one, to create opportunities for yourself.
The German soldiers believed that they could not seize or create the opportunity to survive in that situation.
Qin Chuan didn't know how to do it, perhaps, this was a survival instinct.
The ensuing battle was completely under the control of the Germans, with three battalions of the 1st Battalion attacking the railway station warehouses from three directions.
Two regiments of Soviet soldiers resting in several abandoned warehouses were locked in warehouses and could not escape, and finally one could only surrender with their hands raised.
On the other hand, the captured materials in the warehouses once again enriched the armament of the German army...... The main reason for this was that the 1st Mountain Division needed to replenish ammunition, because Manstein had already contacted the air forces in Kerch, and in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the 1st Army, they mainly airdropped MP43 ammunition when airdropping supplies.
