Chapter 671: Pilot
"The grid you're responsible for starts at 10th Street!" Major Stagg, a battalion commander of the 60th Motorized Infantry Division, who had exchanged guards with Qin Chuan, introduced to Qin Chuan: "It's there...... Oh, sorry. You may not recognize it as the street anymore, it's right where the tank is! ”
"I see it!" Qin Chuan replied.
It wasn't a tank, it was the wreckage of a tank, and there was a corpse hanging upside down in the turret, and the hapless guy was apparently killed by the Soviets when he was trying to escape.
"The end is in that long building!" Major Stagg pointed to a building on the other side and said, "We call it the 'folder'!" ”
"A very figurative name!" Qin Chuan said.
"That's all, good luck!" Major Stag patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder.
"Wait!" Qin Chuan stopped Major Stagg, who seemed to be in a hurry to leave here: "Major, you haven't told me about the enemy's situation yet!" ”
Major Stagg turned around and shrugged his shoulders helplessly and replied, "I'm sorry, Major, no one is sure about their situation, you just have to look at every hole in the wall on the other side, including doors and windows and cracks, that is where the enemy can appear!" ”
"Plus!" After taking a few steps, Major Stagg turned back and added: "I have to warn you, it's almost night!" ”
"Thank you, Major Stagg!" Qin Chuan helplessly looked at Major Stagg and his subordinates who had withdrawn as if they had escaped from hell.
After a long while, Eberhard, who was looking at the ruins around him, asked, "Major, what should we do?" There is no line of defense here at all! ”
Eberhard was right, if there was a line of defense, it was buildings and collapsed ruins piled on the ground, and these were intertwined with the buildings occupied by the Soviets, and there were even two buildings behind them that had just been occupied and had not yet been emptied, and there were still a few machine sounds and grenade explosions from time to time.
Qin Chuan stared at the map and looked at the surrounding environment, then drew a line on the map and ordered: "Based on this line, pull barbed wire, plant mines to block the position, and at the same time lead people to search every corner, and suspicious locations or buildings will also pull barbed wire and lay mines!" ”
"Major!" Eberhard looked at the line and said, "But this line ...... We're giving up three occupied buildings! ”
"Do as I say!"
"Yes, Major!" Eberhard turned and assigned.
Eberhard was reluctant to give up those three buildings, of course, he had a reason, the Battle of Stalingrad had developed to the present, and it was already advancing at a rate of several meters per day, that is to say, those buildings were bought by German soldiers with blood and lives, and Qin Chuan gave them up and threw them to the Soviets with a wave of his hand.
Of course, what Qin Chuan cared about was not this, a few buildings were nothing in Qin Chuan's eyes...... There is a saying: "I don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool", from a historical point of view, the battle of Stalingrad is not a question of how many lands and buildings are occupied, but a question of the loss of troops and materials.
So, it makes no sense to occupy a few buildings, even though these were bought with the blood and lives of German soldiers.
Barbed wire and mines were quickly laid, but it was not yet dark, so the soldiers planned to stay on the front line a little longer and leave a few mines to "surprise" the Soviet troops who were going to occupy these buildings at night.
At this time, a Soviet winged plane swooped down from the building where Tan Qinchuan and others were located in the air, followed by a "da-da-da" machine gun sound, and the bullets flew into the floor through the wooden plank, and immediately two German soldiers screamed and fell in a pool of blood.
Apparently, the Soviets on the opposite side spotted that there were many German troops in the building and called for aerial fire...... This does not happen very often, as said before, the Soviet army does not have air supremacy, and Soviet fighters rarely appear in the air.
However, very little does not mean that there is none, Qin Chuan and the others were lucky to encounter one as soon as they came up.
The German soldiers on the roof of the building immediately opened fire on the old fighter with machine guns and MP43s. Luckily, several bullets hit the engine, the wings were torn to shreds, and the plane began to sway with black smoke as it tried to escape, before falling back to the ground.
Originally, Qin Chuan and the others thought that they would hear an explosion, but all they heard was the sound of metal colliding...... The wounded Soviet fighter plane actually made a successful forced landing.
It is also not known whether it was the pilot's luck or misfortune.
Let's call it lucky, in this place full of ruins and buildings, let alone a forced landing with injuries, it is difficult to make a normal landing.
It is unfortunate to say that they made a forced landing in an area controlled by the Germans, that is, they were surrounded by the Germans at the moment of the successful forced landing.
Out of anger at the two comrades who died, Qin Chuan rushed to the direction of the plane's forced landing with a platoon of soldiers as soon as possible.
When Qin Chuan and the others arrived at the forced landing point, the baker had already led people to surround the pilot.
"Hands up!" The baker shouted in stiff Russian as the plane lay in front of the rubble: "Surrender!" ”
The baker wanted to say more, but he only knew so much Russian.
"Bang bang!" Several gunshots rang out from the opposite side in reply.
The German soldiers also raised their guns and returned fire, and then divided into several groups to cover each other and approached the plane.
But none of this was necessary, because soon a gunshot rang out from behind the plane, and then a corpse collapsed limply, above the shoulders and above the wreckage of the plane, and a bloody hole in the temple, still pouring blood
Obviously, he did not want to be a prisoner of the German army.
"There's one more!" Qin Chuan went up with his gun, because he noticed that the plane was a two-seater, and there was obviously a pilot.
But when Qin Chuan and others cautiously held their guns behind the plane, they were shocked to find that the other pilot was a girl, wearing the rank of second lieutenant, holding a Tokarev pistol in her hand, her face was pale and she was short of breath, and her eyes revealed deep despair and fear.
"Put down the gun!" Qin Chuan shouted, "We won't embarrass you!" ”
The second lieutenant girl didn't understand Qin Chuan's words, or she didn't hear them at all, or she understood what Qin Chuan meant but refused to react.
Then, apparently determined, the second lieutenant suddenly raised her pistol to her head and pulled the trigger......
"Bang!" With a bang, there was another corpse in front of Qin Chuan and the others.
The baker stood up, shook his head in bewilderment, and slowly walked over to examine the two bodies.
They did not understand how the Soviets could send women into battle to make them suffer like this.
