As he said this, his eyes were looking at the Soviet recruit prisoners of war who were crouching on the ground in the distance and were closely guarded by German soldiers.

There were a total of 300 Soviet soldiers there, and although they were disarmed, they still looked like a large number of people.

Of course, these prisoners were not much of a threat, after all, they were no match for the Germans when they were armed, and now they had no weapons, let alone the possibility of resistance.

However, with less than 80 people following two tanks, it was definitely a risky thing to do.

"I know it's a very dangerous thing, but it's still very dangerous to stop here!" Karjus pointed to the Soviet prisoners and said, "They know we're coming!" ”

Yes, the Soviet units have already broken down, and soon the surrounding Soviet troops will know that the Germans have captured the village.

There were about 10,000 or more Soviet troops around here, because it was close to the road from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, and people came and went with Soviet supplies and reinforcements.

There are at least 100,000 soldiers of all kinds scattered along the roads, from Soviet troops stationed here to new recruits passing through here for Moscow.

Of course, because it is the gateway to the Nizhny Novgorod region, there are still countless civilians crowded on the road.

In order not to affect the speed of transportation of supplies, these retreating civilians could not use roads and railways, but could only follow the farmland and barren mountains on both sides of the road.

Together with some units that had rested after walking here, the Soviets could draw thousands of troops nearby at any time to counterattack the German positions.

Karyus was worried about this kind of thing, so he wanted to use the initiative to attack to prevent the Soviet army from gathering to counterattack as much as possible.

As long as he keeps attacking forward, he can crush the Soviets before they are ready. As long as he is able to break through along the way, he will soon be able to complete the task of attacking and cutting off the Soviet transport line to the Nizhny Novgorod region.

"However, as we continue to attack, we are getting farther and farther away from the friendly forces behind, and if something goes wrong, no one will be able to come to our aid." The company commander spoke.

He was responsible for his men, and no one wanted to die senselessly. As a commander, it is necessary for him to keep his soldiers as safe from danger as possible.

"We can stop and wait for the people in the back, but I think the best option for us is to go to Red Tecach!" Karjus looked into the distance and said to the commander of the infantry company.

The Red Tekach he was talking about was a small village next to the side of the road. Having occupied there, there were only a few kilometers left from the highway between Moscow and the Nizhny Novgorod region.

When the time comes, as long as a few cannons are erected at Red Tecach, that important passage will almost have to be closed.

"Attack! Let's go to Red Tekach! Stop there and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive! Karyus pointed ahead and commanded.

"If we're in danger, it's nothing. We have tanks and armored vehicles, and the retreat will be very fast. Glancing at the somewhat anxious infantry company commander, Karjus smiled and comforted.

Hearing this comfort, the face of the company commander of the infantry company looked a little better: seeing that the other party also thought that he could at least retreat if he couldn't fight, he finally didn't go to die without hesitation......

At this time, there was a buzzing sound in the sky. It was the roar of the engines of the aircraft, which also meant on the Eastern Front that, most likely, German planes flew nearby.

"Patrolling Stuka! Spread the flag on the roof of the car! After glancing at each other, both Karyus and the infantry company commander gave similar orders.

Air supremacy was firmly controlled on the side of the German army, so the German troops did not have many anti-aircraft weapons and equipment.

In most cases, German tanks and machine guns on armored vehicles were enough to deal with threats from the air in most cases.

However, this majority of cases does not include the Soviet Il-2 attack aircraft! That thing is too thick with steel plates and strong firepower, and it is the most hated Soviet aircraft of the German ground forces - there is no one!

The infantry covered their own half-track armored car with a huge German flag, and Karjus also put a flag inside the car over the engine grille behind the tank.

Sure enough, they heard it right, two Stuka dive bombers flew over their heads with bright bombs.

These planes were there to bomb the important road ahead, and they had been planning to start bombing these roads a month ago. The Luftwaffe has been interfering with Soviet reinforcements to Moscow and has never let up.

Then, higher in the sky, small black dots that were almost invisible, patrolling German fighters looked down on the earth in the sky.

They are the rulers of the skies, the eagles that dominate the land! As soon as they spotted the Soviet plane, they would dive down and bring death to each other.

It is precisely with the protection of these aircraft that Karjus is so bold that he puts the flag on the grille of the engine.

"That's it! Go ahead! Let's go to Red Tekach! Two Stuka dive bombers flew by, and Karjus commanded in a loud voice.

The German tanks, which had finally stopped, started again, and the two Leopard tanks fought one after the other into the distance.

They were followed by German grenadiers carrying their own weapons, as well as two half-track armored vehicles.

Before the Soviet army was ready, without Guderian knowing, a small advance force led by Karyus was already on the road between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod Oblast!

And at the same moment, the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Army, Konev, gave the order to prevent the Germans from approaching the road at any cost.

The Soviets were slowly massing, with all the tanks and artillery they could find, ready to counterattack and build a new defensive position as far south as possible.

The Germans were obviously faster, they had already crossed the position where the Soviets were preparing to counterattack and penetrated deep into the vicinity of Red Tekach - the Soviets did not know that their defensive line had been broken by the Germans before it had even been built.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, whether this road is still under the control of the Soviet army will be seen
