Chapter 735: Prisoner

In addition to Qin Chuan, there were five other snipers who occupied the assault team under the cover of the high place and launched an attack on the target building.

Several assault teams advanced as they cleared the house of enemies along the way, while the Soviet guard company put up a desperate resistance around a two-story building.

If this battle had only been fought in this way, it would have been difficult for the assault team to capture the Soviet commander as they wished.

The reason is simple, Soviet commanders will also join the battle.

Then the German commandos will be in an awkward situation...... To attack or not to attack?

Attack, just like Qin Chuan killed an officer by mistake just now, it is inevitable that the Soviet officer in the command will be killed, which obviously cannot complete the task.

If you don't attack, then you have to let the Soviet officers shoot at the German commandos like invulnerable!

This will bring many dangers to the commando team, not to mention, both sides will be consumed like this, and no one can help the other. Even if in the end, the assault team broke through the defense line of the guard company and attacked the second floor...... It is also quite possible that the Soviet commanders committed mass suicide.

Of course, it doesn't have to be a collective suicide, and in many cases the commissar kills other officers and then kills himself, which is still a failure of the plan.

But of course, Qin Chuan's "rat hunting plan" will not be so simple.

Seeing that the time is almost up, that is, basically attracting the Soviet guards downstairs...... This was the first reaction of almost all guards in this era when attacked, because if you want to attack a building, you must first occupy the first floor and then the second floor.

So there is no need to think that important people will be placed on the second floor, and the first floor will be defended by guards, at most, a few personal guards will be arranged upstairs, so that important people can be protected and the enemy can be freed to fight, and they will not be afraid to protect the object.

And this is exactly what Qin Chuan needs......

"Implement Plan B!" Qin Chuan ordered.

"Yes, Major!" Eberhard raised his flare gun, which had been prepared, and fired two flares into the sky.

In the absence of a miniature walkie-talkie, flares are the best command tool. Otherwise, each assault squad will have to carry a walkie-talkie or even prepare a spare, which will not only seriously reduce the combat effectiveness of the assault squad but also complicate the command, because at least several staff officers will need to assist in order to give orders to each assault squad at the same time.

But if you use flares...... As soon as it was launched, everyone knew what to do.

The risk of using signal flares is that if the Soviets perceive this and shoot a few signal flares into the sky, it may affect Qin Chuan's command.

However, the Soviet troops, who were surrounded in the buildings, apparently did not have time to think about this, so the Germans immediately moved on to the next step.

AFTER A FEW CANNON SHOTS, GERMAN SOLDIERS FIRED A BATCH OF SHELLS FROM SEVERAL DIRECTIONS WITH 50MM MORTARS...... To be exact, it was not artillery shells but smoke bombs, and more than a dozen mortars fired more than 50 smoke bombs one after another, and many of them even entered the second floor directly through the windows, and suddenly the entire command building was shrouded in smoke, and there were several coughing sounds from time to time, and some people shouted in Russian in panic, as if they were worried about the use of poison gas by the German army.

They weren't poison gas, of course, but it seemed better if the Soviets thought they were.

Two ropes were thrown from the air, and two teams of commandos fell from the sky along the ropes, and then jumped in with a "bang" through the windows on the second floor.

Listen to a few "bangs" of gunshots in the smoke and a burst of Russian curses and cries for help, and then it fell silent.

The rope ladder was thrown from the helicopter, and when the helicopter rose again a few minutes later, he saw several people hanging on the rope ladder, among which there were obviously two captives whose hands and feet were tied to the rope ladder and couldn't stop struggling, so Qin Chuan knew that the mission was successful.

"Plan C!" Qin Chuan ordered.

Three red flares rose into the sky, and the German assault team disappeared into the darkness after throwing a few grenades or rockets at the building still shrouded in smoke.

One of the reasons why the assembly point was chosen as a rally point was that it was separated by a hill from the village, and even if the Soviets followed the Germans, they could not block the helicopter take-off and landing with firepower...... The helicopter's armor is mainly at the bottom, so it is the most dangerous during take-off and landing, and rifles and light machine guns can easily penetrate its side armor, causing casualties or even destroying the helicopter in it.

This is one of the reasons why the assembly point cannot simply be located next to the village...... It is really time-saving and hassle-free to be next to the village, and people can board a helicopter and leave as soon as they are withdrawn from the village.

But this is obviously very dangerous, because as long as a light machine gun occupies the main point, the helicopter can be shot down one after the other.

As a result, Qin Chuan and the others had to run all the way along the highway, laying mines in the rear to prevent the Soviet army from pursuing them.

However, these seem to be superfluous, because the half-crippled Soviets in the village do not seem to have reacted to what is going on until this time, so of course there will be no pursuers.

A few minutes later, a group of people boarded the helicopter in turn at the assembly point.

Qin Chuan also took a moment to untie the two captives he had captured from the rope ladder and then carried them to the helicopter.

Adlin couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the two Soviet officers with the rank of major general who were thrown away...... The whole battle lasted only fifteen minutes, and the Germans actually beat the Soviets to a mess like a trick, and then captured two more major generals from them.

Adelin was joined by the men he had brought with him, who had witnessed the whole process but still couldn't believe it was real...... They had fought with the Soviets before, on the Crimean Peninsula.

Although they knew that the Soviets were not strong in combat because they surrendered or were annihilated by the Germans in droves, they also knew that these opponents were not as easy to mess with as they thought, at least on par with the Romanian army.

Of course, this is the subjective idea of the Romanian soldiers, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Romanian army is not comparable to that of the Soviet army, and this is not a question of quality, but of combat determination and equipment.

(Note: More than 90 percent of the tanks equipped by the Romanian army are backward 38T light tanks from the Czech Republic)

However, today, these Romanian soldiers, including Adlin, can be said to have seen far more than they imagined...... They felt that these Germans were playing a game against the Soviets, and if it weren't for the real guns and ammunition, not because of the blood and screams on the battlefield, they would have thought that this was a pre-arranged exercise.
