Chapter 92: To Leningrad
"You didn't take what's in there, did you?" The colonel asked.
"No, Colonel, as soon as that terrible thing inside comes out, everyone thinks about running for their lives, where can they take care of taking the treasure." The young sapper gasped and replied.
"That's good. Thanks to you not taking it, if you did, maybe the thing would have chased after us, and you and I would have died. ”
"What? That's what happened! ”
"Let's go! Don't wait for that thing to come after you. ”
"Yes, Colonel."
The two of them struggled to get up and stumbled into the woods.
Under the moonlight, everything fell silent, and the mysterious and terrifying underground palace was still silently guarding its secrets as before......
On this day, the "521" crew was informed by the division headquarters that they could go to Leningrad.
Because of the important information about the SS "Skeleton" division brought back by Sun Hui and Toltkin, the division headquarters basically understood the German army's plan, so it immediately reported the information to Leningrad, and Zhukov quickly replied, asking the troops around the fortress to launch a diversion attack on the German army first, disrupt the deployment of the German army, and prepare for future counterattacks.
The departure date of the "521" car group set by the division headquarters was the day when the defenders of the fortress and nearby friendly forces launched an attack. The purpose of this arrangement, the division commander, Colonel Sheplechenko, was to be able to attract the German forces so that the "521" car group and the troops escorting them would not encounter the large German forces when they passed through the German front to the "road of life" on Lake Ladoga. Sun Hui understood the division commander's good intentions, and he had no objection to the departure date, but he still proposed to the division commander through Ye Chuchu that they would not be escorted, and they would cross the German front by themselves. His reasoning was that "every warrior is precious to the fortress" and that it could not be wasted by such non-military actions as theirs. In fact, he was worried that the escorts would become a burden to the five of them, causing unnecessary casualties to his comrades.
The division commander agreed to Ye Chuchu's request, and he had already learned about Sun Hui's "unusualness" from Toltkin - after all, Sun Hui was too brave that day, and he killed too many enemies by himself, and the scouts saw it with their own eyes, and he attributed Sun Hui's peculiarity to the fact that this person was a "combat genius", because he himself was born as a scout and had seen a lot of "special talents". He also saw what the four beautiful girls had learned from the Soviet scouts after a month of special training.
After careful study, the divisional staff worked out the safest route for the "521" car group, avoiding the main positions of the German troops as much as possible, and mainly passing along the forest mountain road to Lake Ladoga. There are also small groups of guerrillas along the route, and if they encounter enemy troops on the way, they can also get in touch with these guerrillas and ask for help. In order to ensure their safety, the division equipped them with weapons in addition to submachine guns and grenades, as well as two sniper rifles - because Sun Hui and Ye Chuchu both showed high shooting talent in training.
On February 7, 42, under the "cover" of the heavy artillery fire of the whole division, Sun Hui and the girls embarked on the journey to Leningrad.
The cold wind howled, the dry reeds and bare branches swayed in the wind, the pine trees with fluffy snowflakes swayed back and forth, and sometimes clumps of snow fell silently from the trees on the snow-covered earth.
In the past two days, it has snowed heavily, and it has not stopped, the road is difficult to walk, and half of the legs sometimes sink into the deep snow, but Sun Hui and the four girls are very fast on the snow, and they are basically not affected by the deep snow.
Sun Hui took the girls to cross the German front he had just reconnoitred a few days ago, because of the heavy snow and the abnormal movement of the Soviet army, many German troops here were transferred to other fronts, and there were only a few soldiers left here to defend, because when Sun Hui and the girls passed here, they were not hindered too much, but due to the cover of the heavy snow, the mines became their trouble: Ye Chuchu and Du Lili stepped on the mines respectively, but fortunately, they were agile and jumped far away before the mines exploded, He was not injured, but his spirit was frightened, so he vented his anger on the German bunker he encountered.
The German bunkers are another trouble they encounter, the German army that is good at trench warfare often builds a variety of low and hidden bunkers, as machine gun fire points, MG34 general-purpose machine guns are extremely lethal weapons, often open fire unexpectedly, if it is an ordinary Soviet officer and soldier, they will often be caught off guard, and they will have to pay a heavy price for casualties to be able to uproot these bunkers, but this time the Germans are kicked to the iron plate.
When he encountered the first bunker, Sun Hui almost hit the machine gun bullet, he originally planned to bypass this bunker with a "long-distance leap" and hurry up, but Ye Chuchu and Du Lili, who were also almost hit, were greatly annoyed, and launched a direct attack on this bunker regardless of it.
Ye Chuchu and Du Lili first rushed to the front of the bunker, fired indiscriminately into the firing hole of the bunker with submachine guns, and then threw grenades into it, killing the German machine gunners, and then went around to the back door of the bunker, blew the door open with grenades, and then threw Molotov cocktails in, and when the Germans were covered in fire rushed out, they killed them one by one with submachine guns.
Their attack on the bunker will inevitably attract the attack of the surrounding German troops, Sun Hui and Xiao Tiantian Wang Linlin stepped forward to meet the attack, because of the good learning with the Soviet scouts, Sun Hui and the girls have greatly improved their skills in using firearms, and the result is often the entire trench of German soldiers are killed by them.
But the downside of this was that they quickly ran out of ammunition and had to use weapons taken from the Germans.
Fortunately, there were not many such times, and after five days, they moved away from the German line and entered the Soviet-controlled area after marching all the way in a "long-distance leap" manner.
A small lake appeared in front of him, Sun Hui looked at the map and knew that this was a small lake in the Ladoga Lake system, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Here there should have been Soviet units to meet them.
Sun Hui wears a short cooked leather jacket and a pair of fisherman-style soft leather boots under his feet. He pulled his hat to his ear, sniper rifle and knife on his back, and strode forward, the girls laughing and talking behind him. As he approached the ferry, he took out his binoculars and took a closer look at the eastern shore of the small lake.
"What did you find, Brother Sun?" Ye Chuchu walked up to Sun Hui and asked.
"Good fellow, he's good enough to drive this motorboat!" Sun Hui pointed ahead and handed her the binoculars, "Even this kind of ice is fine." ”
