Chapter 2207 Happy Three-Bonus

Alsim did keep his promise and bandaged the wound of the German who was shot through the thigh for free. He screamed in pain without anesthesia. In Alsim's words, it was to teach this fascist a lesson.

Knowing the information he wanted was only the first step. Alsim now knew that the enemy's main force was moving towards his current direction. And according to the German lieutenant, before he had time to report the attack to the main force, the wheels of the Red Army, which were as fast as lightning, had already run over his face, and he had almost no time to do anything.

In other words, the main force of the Germans should not know what happened in front of them. At most, they could not contact the forward reconnaissance team and were confused, but you can't judge that the reconnaissance team has been wiped out. Maybe the radio was broken and they couldn't contact in time? Everything is possible.

"What do you think? What are you going to do next?"

The tank platoon leader who assisted and obeyed Alsim asked, holding a telescope and looking into the distance. Alsim, who had not yet found any trace of the enemy on the horizon, spoke up.

"This is a low-lying area, which is not conducive to our reconnaissance and search for the enemy. I plan to go to the small earthen slope over there to see if there are other discoveries. Do you want to follow me?"

Although it is not a big gully, the snowy terrain where they are now does have a certain degree of ups and downs, and Alsim and his group are currently in a relatively low-lying area, which makes Alsim feel a little uneasy.

"According to the time, the German army should be here soon. Even if they are an infantry division, the distance of 5 kilometers in a straight line should be about 20 minutes, because they are running away. If they don't show some speed, they will lose their lives. The Germans are unlikely to dawdle at this time."

"But I can't see any Germans now, which is obviously abnormal. Going to the high ground should yield other gains."

There is another thing that Alsim didn't explain on the spot.

If there are still no Germans around after reaching the high ground, then either the lieutenant lied and actually sent a warning message to the friendly army to be careful.

Or the German army noticed something was wrong and changed its direction of advance suspiciously, intending to bypass the location where the reconnaissance troops in front lost contact, and it is better to have less trouble than more, even if it is not certain that there is something wrong.

Comparing the two possibilities, Alsim thought that the latter possibility was more likely. The lieutenant's timid and fearful look just now did not seem like he could lie. Alsim was quite confident in his ability to judge people. In other words, if no one was found on the high ground, it was likely that the main force of the Germans felt something was wrong and took a detour.

But in any case, the above situations were only limited to Alsim's speculation. The actual situation would not be known until we climbed up the small earth slope to see if there was any harvest.

Alsim, who acted as soon as he said, planned to act immediately. The tank platoon leader beside him nodded in agreement after hearing this. He stood up and planned to walk towards the small earth slope over there, but he did not expect to be stopped by Alsim before he took a step.

"Wait, the distance is a bit far, it will take too long to walk there, let's drive this thing."

The "this thing" that Alsim mentioned was not the infantry fighting vehicle or tank of the Red Army reconnaissance team, but the only vehicle in the German reconnaissance team that was not destroyed: a three-wheeled motorcycle with a sidecar, commonly known as a three-wheeled motorcycle or a Taijun happy car.

The Leader Division also had this kind of three-wheeled motorcycle with a sidecar, but with the heavy synthetic combat configuration of the Leader Division, it was naturally not necessary for this thing to be in combat units and perform combat tasks.

The Soviet-made three-wheeled motorcycles of the Leader Division were mostly used to deliver letters and intelligence for information transmission, and most of them served in the communication units directly under the division, brigade, regiment, and battalion headquarters.

Because of its good mobility, high flexibility, and certain heavy-duty carrying capacity, the soldiers of the communication unit always liked to use it when they carried maintenance equipment to repair telephone lines. The tool kit was placed in the sidecar, and a maintenance team could ride on the three-wheeled motorcycle and go away, which was really convenient.

But for combat troops, this is an uncommon and even almost unused equipment. For example, the platoon leader who is good at commanding tanks will not use it.

"Can you ride it? I can't use this thing."

Although it looks slightly different, Alsim thinks that motorcycles can be very different. Still not believing that the Germans can make a motorcycle, Alsim, who is very confident in himself, twisted his waist and climbed on it. After trying to fiddle with it and twisting the handle, he succeeded in starting the engine and was ready.

"Okay, no problem, it looks good, get in!"

"Then I'll leave it to you."

There is also an MG42 machine gun left by the Germans in the sidecar. It is equipped with a 75-round drum magazine, which can be fired by one person without the assistant gunner holding the belt. It is also a good self-defense firepower. After sitting in the sidecar and checking the machine gun to make sure it was fine, Alsim started the motorcycle and headed straight for the small dirt hill not too far away.

"Did you see anything? I didn't see anything here."

"Wait, I'm looking, take a closer look, the Germans' winter camouflage is hard to spot from a distance, don't miss it."

About five minutes later, when Alsim and the platoon leader were lying on a small earthen slope and crawling in the snow to hide themselves, they used their respective telescopes to look in the direction where the enemy might appear in the distance, trying to find the target, but they seemed to find nothing valuable, just a white world covered in silver.

"Compared to Moscow, this broken place of the Germans is as warm as spring, but why can't I find anyone?"

There is indeed snow in the winter in East Prussia, but it is not necessarily very cold after the snow, just a single digit below zero to above zero, which is indeed warm as spring compared to the winter in Moscow.

The platoon leader continued to search with a telescope and complained that he couldn't find anyone. Alsim didn't talk at first, but he was also lying in the snow and didn't feel any cold air, but he soon spoke up because he had gained something.

"Wait, over there! At ten o'clock! Over there! The Krauts are coming!"

"Where are they? Let me see."
