"We can do a good job of scouting!" "Determine which places are suitable for the landing, and then prepare the pilots!" ”

"But we can't make a mass landing!" Matevich said: "Holm has limited space, and there can't be too many soldiers who can land!" ”

"Yes!" Pukaev replied: "So I plan to land a company, and they will carry out this task on ten gliders!" ”

"A company ......," Matevich said worriedly: "Even if they all succeed in landing, it will not be enough to inflict much impact on the Germans!" ”

"You're right, Matevic!" "So they are not the main force of this plan!" Pukaev said! ”

"Anyone else?" Matevich looked at Pukaev in disbelief.

"You seem to have forgotten that the Germans still hold many prisoners in Holm!" Pukaev pointed to the Holm Middle School on the map and said: "By now there should be more than 2,000 people!" ”

So Matevich understood: "So, the troops who landed were there to rescue these prisoners?" ”

"So to speak!" Pukaev replied: "It can also be said that it is not. There was only one company of airborne troops, and the troops of the German Defense High School had two companies, and they were probably exterminated by the Germans before they even reached the middle school! ”

"So......" Matevic listened with some confusion.

"Airborne troops are just a diversion from the Germans!" Pukaev explained: "We will drop and drop weapons and equipment to the school, and provide cover for the prisoners with artillery fire, so that they can escape and arm themselves, and then attack the Germans from the inside!" ”

Matevich thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Comrade Pukaev, my opinion is...... It will be difficult for the captives to organize and go on the offensive as we planned! ”

There is no doubt about this, as I said before, the Soviet Union was very harsh on the soldiers, they demanded that the officers and soldiers must fight until the last moment, and surrendering to become prisoners is a "traitor" or an "enemy".

So, the prisoners who were imprisoned in Holm were already characterized as "enemies" and "traitors", so why should they fight for the Soviet Union on Stalin's behalf? Anyway, when you return to your homeland, you will be shot or sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

"So ......" Pukaev patted Matevich on the shoulder and said in an accentuated tone: "The Motherland needs you, Comrade Matevich!" ”

"I don't understand, Comrade Pukaev!" Matevich looked at Pukaev in confusion, and until now he still didn't hear what this plan had to do with him.

"It's up to you, and some of the political commissars and political instructors you lead, to persuade and organize these captives!"

"But, Comrade Pukaev!" Matevich asked: "How can we get into Holm to do this work?" ”

"If that's the case, of course you can't enter Holm!" Pukaev said: "But you can go in as prisoners!" ”

Hearing this, Matevich couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time...... He had never heard of such a crazy plan to let them infiltrate the prisoner camps as prisoners of the Germans.

"Of course!" Pukaev added: "You should change your status, because I have heard that the Germans will shoot the commissars and political instructors on the spot when they catch them, and even if they are not, they will be wary of you." So...... Before that, you should be ordinary soldiers! ”

After a pause, Pukaev added: "When you arrive at the prisoner camp, you secretly identify yourself, and there are many captives who know you, so they will believe your true identity. And then you have to let them know that the Motherland did not abandon them, and neither did Comrade Stalin, as long as they helped us win this battle, they were still heroes of the Soviet Union, understand? ”

"Understood, Comrade Pukaev!" Matevich stepped forward to answer.

While it was dangerous, Matevich knew that it might indeed be their only chance to capture Holm, as Pukaev claimed.

So, that night, the Soviets launched an attack on Holm.

Of course, the attack was repulsed by the Germans as usual, and the Germans, as usual, captured some prisoners in the battle, but tonight there were a few more prisoners, more than fifty people.

"Captain!" After returning to the cellar, Werner excitedly said to Qin Chuan: "I have captured two prisoners tonight, these Bolsheviks have obviously been frightened by our new weapons, and the number of surrenderers has been increasing!" ”

"Well done!" Qin Chuan praised him casually.

"I think it's a conspiracy of the Soviets!" The baker answered.

"What conspiracy?" Werner asked.

"They must be trying to use the captives to eat up our supplies!" The baker replied.

The German soldiers in the cellar were amused by the baker's words.

"The Soviets must have thought so!" Dominic said.

"Yes, of course!" "The Soviets did everything, Thomas ......"

As he spoke, Werner raised his head at Thomas, who was sitting silently in the corner, and said, "I heard about this from a pilot who, like you, flew a glider to deliver supplies for us, and I think you might be interested in knowing!" ”

"What's the matter?" The soldiers were intrigued by Werner's tricks.

"I don't know if you've noticed a strange thing!" Werner said: "When our planes bomb and strafe the enemy, it is not uncommon for planes to attack uninhabited ground! ”

As soon as Werner said this, the soldiers nodded their heads.

"Aren't they attacking targets we haven't discovered?" The baker asked.

"No, no." Werner shook his head: "If you are wrong, the pilots were indeed attacking targets that we didn't find, but they soon found out that they had been fooled!" ”

"Why?" The soldiers asked curiously.

"Because ......," Werner explained, "the pilots, having attacked these targets, found that they did not bleed at all and did not run away, that is...... They are fake targets! ”

The soldiers booed in disappointment.

"That's normal, isn't it?" The baker said, "It's just a fake target, are you sure you're not telling a bad joke?" ”

"If you knew what these false targets were, you wouldn't say that!" Werner said.

"What else could it be?" The baker said, "Wooden men in military uniforms, and something else!" ”

Werner smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's a corpse!" ”

The soldiers were all stunned when they heard this.

"Yes!" "They lined up the bodies of their comrades face down in a row and pretended to be attacking as fake targets!" ”
