Chapter 61 The use of the German army coat For a distance of more than 200 kilometers, even with a sled, Lin Hua and the others still spent more than ten hours until they arrived near Karmanovo in the early morning of the next day. The sled stopped in a forest a few kilometers away from the prisoner-of-war camp. Lin Hua jumped off the sled, and while moving his hands and feet that were somewhat numb from the cold, he said loudly: "All the leaders of the platoons come to me." Following his shout, several platoon leaders came to Lin Hua from different directions. Seeing that the platoon leaders had arrived, Lin Hua began to announce the purpose of the trip to them: "Comrades platoon leaders, the task given to us by our superiors is to liberate a nearby prisoner-of-war camp, rescue the officers and soldiers of our army detained inside, and They armed themselves and fought the Germans in the area." Before departure, none of the platoon leaders asked about the mission of this trip, and thought it was another mission like defending the Istria Reservoir Dam. After hearing Lin Hua finish the task at this moment, Vasily asked with some concern: "Comrade company commander, with our current strength and equipment, there is no problem in taking down the prisoner-of-war camp. At best, it is a matter of casualties. What I am worried about is, will the enemy massacre our comrades when they see that the prisoner-of-war camp cannot be defended?" Vassily's words immediately resonated with everyone, and Vanya also echoed: "Yes, if the enemy slaughters our comrades in arms, then we will not be able to complete this mission." After Savyev waited for everyone to express their opinions, he suggested to Lin Hua: "Comrade company commander, I think we should send someone to investigate first, and it will not be too late to figure out the specific situation of the prisoner-of-war camp before formulating an action plan. " Lin Hua agreed with Savyev's proposal, and he shouted at Pavel who was standing not far away: "Comrade Corporal, please come to us!" Pavel heard Lin Hua calling him, and trotted all the way over, raised his hand and saluted and asked, "Comrade Lieutenant, do you have any instructions?" In order to form a reconnaissance squad in the company, Lin Hua did not let Pavel return to the construction after completing the task of defending the Istria Reservoir Dam, but let him stay in the company. To find out the situation of the German army in the prisoner-of-war camp, Pavel must go out, so Lin Hua said to him: "Comrade corporal, I need you to take a few people to the nearby prisoner-of-war camp for investigation and find out the number and strength of the enemy." Distribution."
As soon as Lin Hua finished assigning the task, Pavel shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Comrade Lieutenant, you asked me to take a few people to reconnaissance, but where can I find them now?" "Comrade Savyev," Lin Hua said, turning his head to look at Savyev, "Your guerrillas have been active in this area, and there must be a few comrades who are familiar with the terrain and can accompany Corporal Pavel on a reconnaissance mission. Bar?" "Yes, Comrade Company Commander." Savyev said in an affirmative tone: "There are several comrades in my guerrilla unit who are familiar with the terrain in this area, and I can let them follow Corporal Pavel to perform tasks. " With the assistance of many parties, the reconnaissance team was quickly formed. There were five people in total. Former partisans with combat experience. Standing in front of the queue, Lin Hua asked the five soldiers with heads held high, "Are you all ready?" "Then let's go!" Lin Hua waved at them, "I wish you good luck!" After the reconnaissance team left, Vanya asked Lin Hua for instructions: "Comrade company commander, I guess the reconnaissance team will not return until the afternoon. What should we do during such a long time?" "Build a few snow walls for shelter from the wind first, so that the soldiers can have a place to rest." Lin Hua said with a normal expression: "By the way, let the comrades put on the German army coats on the sleds. Maybe in the next paragraph For a while, we can only temporarily wear the enemy's costume." Hearing that Lin Hua asked the soldiers to wear German military overcoats, Vanya was taken aback for a moment, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Comrade company commander, I understand why you are wearing these German military overcoats, it turns out that it is because This reason." "Why do we have our soldiers put on German uniforms?" Even though Vanya had already guessed Lin Hua's intentions, Andre still said with a confused face: "Their military coats don't have ours." A short fur coat is warm." Lin Hua and Vanya looked at each other, then laughed out loud, making Andre even more confused. In the end, Saviev explained to him: "Comrade Sergeant, don't you see the intention of the company commander? He intends to let us change into German army overcoats and pretend to be the enemy to seize the prisoner-of-war camp." "But, but," Andre said in a panic: "Even if we wear German uniforms, no one can speak German. As long as we come into contact with the Germans, will we be defeated soon? As far as I know, most of the entire company All the comrades can only say 'Hender Hoch', and they all learned from the hygienist Asiya." As soon as Andre's voice fell, there was a sound of good-natured laughter around him. After Lin Hua waited for the laughter around him to stop, he said to Andre, "Don't worry, Comrade Sergeant, although none of us can speak German, there is one person who speaks German very well." "Who?" Andre asked curiously, because in his impression, apart from Asia, there was really no one in the entire company who could speak German. "Here, that's him." Lin Hua pouted at Ernst who was eating on a sleigh from a distance, and said, "Corporal Ernst is in charge of dealing with the Germans during missions, so you don't have to worry about accidents. exposed." "What, let him carry out the mission with us?" Savyev couldn't help showing a surprised expression when he heard Lin Hua say this. After he glanced at Ernst in the distance, he reminded Lin Hua in a low voice: "Comrade company commander, is it appropriate to let a German accompany us to carry out the mission? We don't understand German. When people contact us, our identities are revealed, what should we do then?" "Don't worry, comrades." Although Lin Hua was worried about Ernst, considering that the company wanted to perform missions in disguise, it really couldn't do without Ernst's help. It was for this reason that he decided to take the risk. Seeing that everyone was wary of Ernst at this moment, he pretended to be calm and said: "After these few days of observation, I think Ernst is still a trustworthy person, and I believe he will be able to cooperate with us to complete a good job. Task." Thank you book friend Qianli Qiushou for your support! Thanks to the book friends who voted for recommendation and collected support!
