When the Tiger King was hit by an arrow in the knee, the situation on the battlefield became one-sided. The driver swarmed out of the lame tiger and disappeared into the night. Zhang Huangxin and Mao Weiguo didn't have time to stop it, because just after the Tiger King was lame, the Germans seemed to realize that something was wrong, and began to fire heavily at the area, and at one point the shells fell like rain.

The shelling lasted about five minutes, but did not cause much damage to the Free France. Because he was frightened by the Tiger King, the driver Anthony reversed and withdrew from the battlefield despite Mao Weiguo's instructions, and the French were really worried that the second Tiger King would be killed after a while, and he didn't believe that he would be so lucky.

This made Mao Weiguo a little angry, but there was no way. The French are so wonderful, in this country that advocates freedom, everyone has an unrestrained heart. If you want to use a strong one, the consequence is a more stubborn counterattack by the French. This situation is not uncommon in later generations, the French went on strike in the 98 World Cup, and the French went on strike in the 2016 Euro Cup.

In this regard, Zhang Huangxin vomited: "People like this were directly arrested in the Soviet Red Army, not to mention being shot, at least they had to be sent to the punishment battalion for reflection." What kind of battle is there to fight if you are greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

To tell the truth, Mao Weiguo didn't look down on the French like mud. Especially this kind of muddy French people are still very proud, and they think they are better than anyone else, which is really speechless.

Anyway, after all the effort to defend the country, Anthony and the other French could not get Anthony and the other French to return to the Free France to continue fighting. In desperation, he could only ask for another master, after all, the order of his superiors was very clear, and the German city defense headquarters must be captured by eight o'clock tomorrow morning, not a second late.

In order to accomplish this arduous task, Mao Weiguo had to find foreign aid, because all the French refused to board the tank to attack the fortification, and only foreigners were left who were not afraid of death and dared to fight. The driver was replaced by Kovacs, a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, a small man of 1.6 meters who claimed to have driven a tractor on a farm as a teenager and had driving experience. The radioman was from Poland and was named Ivansky, while the able-bodied loader was a black man and from French Libya he was called Ittihad.

This pure "Foreign Legion" set out again on the road, and soon broke through the last line of defense of the German army, killing and wounding dozens of Nazis, and successfully covering the rebel army to break through to the German city defense headquarters. The next morning, a photograph taken by a French journalist showed the Free France and its five members.

And this photograph and the Free France are preserved in the Musée Militaires in Paris as important relics of the Paris uprising. It's just that the careless French forgot about this scene decades later, and when writing the history of the Paris uprising in World War II, there was no mention of these five "foreign fighters". On the contrary, in the pen of conscientious writers, it was the French who drove the Free France, who proudly proclaimed that the greatest citizens of Paris had bravely liberated the greatest Paris.

Well, Westerners are so forgetful, they will always involuntarily look down on "other beings" from a condescending angle, and then be complacent. And this complacency is always disgusting, so let's get out of Paris and go back to the Eastern Front and see what interesting stories are happening over there!

Shan Neng has been a bit unlucky lately, why do you say that? Because at this moment he was being held in a temporary prisoner of war camp of the German army. Well, how did the famous battle hero get into the prisoner of war camp? There's a story in this.

Let's start at the beginning, when the Military Commissar decided not to encircle Warsaw, Zhukov and Rokossovsky bypassed the heavily fortified city and made a big stride to the east. The reason for this is very simple, because there are almost no German troops along the way, and most of the Nazis are fleeing.

Naturally, this situation made the Red Army soldiers a little flustered, and a considerable number of them even came up with the idea that the Germans had collapsed, and that the next battle would be smooth, and perhaps in a few months they would be able to go home for Christmas.

In other words, a sense of impetuosity spread among the Red Army, and many people, including some of the senior officers, began to be fluttering, thinking that victory could be easily won without much effort.

But Germany is really not a toothless tiger, on the contrary, they are almost unable to retreat, and they already have the intention of cannibalism. So in a small town east of Lodz, Shinengzhi's regiment was attacked head-on, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

The commander of the 17th Mechanized Infantry Battalion of the regiment, Zakhatsev, admitted after the war: "First of all, as the commander of the 17th Mechanized Infantry Battalion, I am fully responsible for everything that my battalion has done and failed to do. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, I was surprised to find that three of the four companies under my battalion had fallen into disarray. The Germans unexpectedly killed a rifle, and our lads and I were completely defenseless against it...... Let me think about it, it was about between half past one and two o'clock in Lincheng, because the commissar suggested that we have some wine and take a break, and just as we were having a good time, it happened...... At first, I didn't realize the scale of the German counterattack, and I thought that as before, it was a scattered devil attack, and these dog mongrels were very good at it...... At that time, I ordered the commander of the 3rd Company to go to reinforce the 1st Company...... At about half past two, the company commander told me over the radio that the enemy's counterattack was quite large, and that there was at least one regiment of the enemy in front of his company. It is also said that the German artillery fire is quite fierce, and a considerable number of German armored units have also been put into the attack......"

"A few minutes later, the companies came to me for help, and they all encountered a large number of German troops, and according to the reactions of several company commanders, the Germans were not new recruits who entered the attack this time, but veterans who were skilled in infantry and cooperation! According to them, the German tanks first shot at the houses where our troops were stationed, and then the SS soldiers threw grenades into the houses, and the surviving young men in the houses became prisoners of the Germans before they could recover from the concussions of the explosion......"

"Worse happened an hour later, and the house where my battalion headquarters was located was completely surrounded, and soon the young men in the street in front of the building were killed and wounded by the Germans, just when I thought everything was over. The commander of the company led three companies to suddenly kill, and they fought hard to repel the German attack, so that I could not be captured or killed on the spot. I have to admit that this comrade from the far east is indeed very good at fighting, his third company repelled the German attack with great difficulty, rescued the crumbling second company from the encirclement, and then correctly judged the purpose of the German army with a keen sense of the battlefield, and then very decisively took the remnants of the second company to decisively shrink and move closer to the battalion headquarters. That's why the Germans didn't eat us in one bite. ”

"Although the enemy attack was temporarily repulsed, this did not mean that everything was all right, we lost contact with the regimental headquarters, and the heralds sent out were beaten back by the ferocious fire of the Germans. All I knew was that there were enemies all around, and I couldn't help but panic. At this critical moment, Comrade Shi Neng stood up again, and with the help of the cover of night, he miraculously led the reconnaissance squad to break out of the encirclement, and contacted a part of the soldiers of the company that had been surrounded before, and with these fighters, he broke through the enemy's blockade and interception, and found the regimental headquarters that had lost contact. ”

"The regiment commander is not much stronger than us, before he also ignored the warning of Comrade Shi Nengzhi, relaxed his vigilance, when the German army launched a surprise attack, the regiment headquarters was caught by a small group of German special forces, after a fierce battle, the regiment commander and others could only leave the regiment headquarters' radio station, telephone and some top-secret documents and escape in embarrassment."

"The most amazing thing about Comrade Shi Nengzhi is that he can always do things that other ordinary comrades dare not think of, before dawn, he returned to me again through the enemy blockade with a few comrades, and he brought a vital message, the regiment commander ordered our battalion to break through before dawn, and he will lead three battalions to cooperate with our actions."

"The breakout began, the fighting was extremely fierce, and the Germans realized what we wanted to do, desperately intercepted, and for a time pressed us back. Just when I was about to give up, Comrade Shi Neng stood up and led his three consecutive fierce attacks, finally opening a breakthrough, and the big guys immediately rushed towards this opening...... A few minutes later, we finally broke out of the encirclement, but I was not happy, because at the last moment, a mortar shell landed on the side of Comrade Shi Nengzhi, who was defending against the enemy's counterattack...... After the explosion, we lost him forever! ”

Well, this battalion commander Zakartsev is really not very reliable, because Shi Neng did not die, and it is true that the shell fell on him, but it did not kill him, it was only the shock wave that blew it away. Anyway, at that time, Shi Nengzhi was dark in front of him and didn't know anything, and when he woke up, there were only groups of German devils around, and he was soon caught.

Regarding this period of his captive career, Shi Nengzhi did not mention it too much later, even if he was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of the Golden Star for this, but this simple Chinese soldier always felt that it was a shame to be captured, and he just didn't want to talk about it. So what Shi Neng did in the prisoner of war camp can only be found out from other people's memoirs.

Lieutenant Tobinsky was also captured that night, he was then the deputy commander of the first company, let's look at his recollections.

“…… We were soon surrounded by the enemy, and we had to defend ourselves in a residential building, and soon all the soldiers who insisted on fighting upstairs and downstairs were killed under the fire of German tanks, and only my heralds, Oleg and Sergeant Shirokov, rushed into the basement at the last moment...... But it didn't work, and soon the Germans discovered the basement, the door to the basement was quickly smashed open, and a grenade was thrown in...... It wasn't a good feeling to eat grenades in a small basement, and even though we weren't injured, the shock of the explosion was constantly reflected between the walls, and we were all stunned. By the time I woke up, a few of us had already been captured by the Germans......"

"The Germans were not friendly to prisoners of war, we were beaten up by a group of Nazis, Oleg had two teeth knocked out, and I became panda-eyed. Later, along with other prisoners of war, we were escorted back by the Germans with bayonets, and on the way we saw the company commander of the Liberation Force, who had just come out of a pile of dirt, and who had not yet recovered from the vertigo of the concussion, and whose first reaction to seeing the Germans was to fight desperately. But obviously, his combat effectiveness at that time was almost negligible. Soon he was knocked to the ground by the German devils, and one of the German devils kept hitting him in the head with the butt of his gun. It wasn't until he fainted that the Nazis stopped their abuse. ”

"Two young men in better condition were pulled out of the ranks of prisoners by the Nazis, and their task was to carry the company commander away, and that was the first and last time I saw him that day, and when I saw him again a few days later, I was really surprised."

According to Tobinsky's recollections, after the Germans launched a successful raid, they quickly took it and began to move westward with captured supplies and captured Red Army soldiers. And this team was soon discovered by the reconnaissance planes of the Red Army, and about a reinforced company of the Red Army was ordered to go after the Germans and rescue the captured comrades.

The operation of the rescue force was smooth at first, and it took just over a day to catch up with the German army. However, the price paid was also relatively heavy, encountering no less than five or six groups of enemies along the way, and half of the vehicles and tanks were destroyed. However, they still caught up with the Germans, and after a fierce battle, the ranks of prisoners of war became chaotic.

At that time, Tobinsky and the heralds Oleg and Shirokov resisted vigorously, dealt with the German soldiers who were holding prisoners of war, seized the weapons, and cooperated with the rescue force to eliminate the other German guards. After a fierce battle, the Red Army boys in the prisoner of war camp were liberated, and every T-34 was loaded with Red Army soldiers.

Soon the convoy began to return, but it was only five kilometers away when it was in big trouble, a team of Panthers in the rear collided with the convoy, and the T-34 at the head was blown up on the spot, and then there was chaos. In the fierce battle, the Red Army's tanks could not stop the Panther's offensive even if they resisted to the death, and when the tanks were destroyed, the other vehicles in the convoy were naturally no match for the Panthers. After much deliberation, the commander of the rescue unit, Captain Malanowski, ordered the vehicles to be abandoned and dispersed.

In Tobinski's words: "It was a real head-hugging run!" ”

In a panic, Tobinsky fled into the forest with Oleg, Shirokov and a few other fighters who scavenged a little supplies from the damaged vehicle. The Germans quickly caught up, and after a chase, the Reds suffered heavy casualties. Tobinsky, on the other hand, escaped by donating blood all night in a forest full of mosquitoes. At dawn, they were tired and hungry and couldn't stand it anymore, so they cautiously began to move.

However, Rabinsky's luck was really bad, and it was not long before they got out of the woods and ran into a German patrol, and they had no choice but to raise their hands again and surrender. The Germans, on the other hand, were quite happy, especially when they found out that Rabinsky and others still had compressed biscuits and spirits in their pockets. In the second half of 1944, the supply of materials to the Germans was also quite tight, and they could only live hungry and full. Would you be unhappy to get a little extra ration?

The five German soldiers began to mumble and discuss, and they soon came to an agreement to divide half of the supplies equally in their bags in case they were needed. As for the other half, they ate directly, it seems that they consumed too much physical strength last night in order to search for us captives...... Naturally, we are very helpless about this, and it is always not so good to watch others eat breakfast. Especially if someone else's breakfast is still snatched from your pocket, it feels even worse. ”

"The Germans began to munch on us, and only one man watched over us with a submachine gun, who made this poor creature the lowest and youngest. This guy is drooling when he looks at those little friends...... At that moment, there was a crisp burst of gunfire, and the poor creature who was in charge of us was shot in the head and immediately fell. Before we could react, there was another series of gunshots, and the submachine gun hit the devil's side with dirt and rocks, and in a few seconds, several German devils reluctantly breathed with a mouth full of compressed biscuits! ”

"That's when I realized what was happening, it should be my comrades. Just as I was following the prestige to see who it was, Comrade Shi Neng Zhi tore off the branches covering his body and ran quickly, shouting to us as he ran: 'Comrades, don't be stunned, hurry up and act.' As soon as he finished speaking, he had already rushed to the bodies of several dead devils, and with a pair of hands dexterously groped around the corpses of the devils, looting all the materials that could be used. And at this time, we reacted and hurriedly used it to 'grab' things. ”

"Half an hour later, we followed Comrade Shi Nengzhi into a dense forest, and he told us that he had been hiding in this forest for the past two days. To tell the truth, we are quite surprised, when he was captured, Comrade Shi Nengzhi was carried away, according to him, he escaped two days ago, how did this happen? ”

Later, Rabinsky learned that on the night of his capture, when the symptoms of dizziness and tinnitus had subsided a little, he had found an opportunity to stun the guards and escape from the prisoner of war camp. In his words: "The Germans thought that I could not stand on my feet, so naturally my vigilance was low, and it was too easy to escape." ”

These words really embarrassed Rabinsky and the others, because these people who were not sick or injured were captured again under the condition that they were received by their comrades, and people are really angry compared to people!

However, Rabinski also has questions: "You escaped two days ago, how can you be here?" ”

This is indeed a problem, two days ago Rabinsky was in the east, and they were driven away by the Germans for both days. Shi Neng Zhi escaped, why didn't he go east to join his team?

"You can't go east." Shi Nengzhi shook his head, "We are behind the German battle line, and if we go east, we will encounter the troops withdrawn from the German army. And the Germans will also think that after I escape, they will choose to flee to the east, and they will inevitably pursue me in that direction. So I deliberately did the opposite, heading west, avoiding their attention. As long as we hold out for a while, when the Germans have retreated, our troops will be safe after they have caught up. ”

This made Rabinski and the others extremely embarrassed, because they fled east according to the traditional idea, and as a result, they were led by the Germans as Shinengzhi said.

Of course, none of these issues matter, and now Rabinsky and others are most concerned about, what to do next? You can't hide in the woods, they almost got anemic yesterday.

"How can you just hide?" Shi Neng looked at Rabinski and the others as if he were looking at aliens, and replied as a matter of course: "Every night is when we attack and make trouble for the Germans, why do we hide?" ”

Well, Rabinsky was really shocked, what can they do with a few guns? also took the initiative to attack, isn't that a meat bun beating a dog?

However, Shi Nengzhi said in a hearty voice: "What's wrong with a few guns? Several guns can also inflict damage on enemies. When I was fighting guerrillas in China, where was there such a good submachine gun, with a big sword, a spear and a shuttle dart, making a revolution! ”

At this time, Rabinsky and others are really blindfolded, what kind of trouble is this with big knives, spears, and darts? Or in the Middle Ages? Anyway, they didn't quite believe in Shi Neng's words, and they felt incredulous about the difficulties of the Chinese Revolution.

Of course, seeing is believing. After nightfall, he quickly fulfilled his words, and when he stabbed a German sentry with a bayonet twenty meters away, and then sneaked up to cut the throat of another sentry, Rabinsky knew how powerful he was.

Later, Rabinsky recalled: "Comrade Lunengzhi is the best hunter, his eyes can clearly see the wind and grass dozens of meters away in the dark, and when he moves, he is like a vigorous cheetah, without the slightest sound, he can touch the back of the German devil, and then tear the throat of the German devil in the next second...... Just that night, without firing a single shot, the three German devils were silently eliminated. ”

In fact, Shi Neng did more, and after a day or two, he was familiar with the local environment, and he knew every move of the German army. On the third day, he suggested to Rabinsky and others: "The Germans are ready to send our captured comrades to the stuffy tanker tomorrow morning, apparently ready to be sent back." Along with the wealth they had plundered from Poland, I opened a chest full of gold, silver and jewels! I suggest that we carry out an operation tonight, on the one hand, to rescue the captured comrades, and on the other hand, not to allow the Nazis to escape with the property of the Polish people!
