Chapter 2589: Surprise Attacker
"You mean you can count on the German civilians to see through your eyes? I say, this is not your style. You never put your hope on the enemy. You said that life should always be in your own hands.
Faced with the company deputy's questioning, Alsim, who was sitting on the curb smoking and worshipping God, just smiled.
"Time is tight and the situation is urgent. This is the problem we are facing now."
"At least I can't think of any better way. If you have one, you might as well tell me. I'm all ears."
While listening to Alsim's mumbling, he sat down on the curb next to Alsim, next to his old friend. The only difference is that the company deputy didn't reach for the half pack of cigarettes in his pocket.
"I'm just talking."
"If I had a better way, I wouldn't be here listening to you nagging. Isn't it better to take action directly than to talk nonsense with you? What do you think?"
"Oh, that's right, you're right. "
He smiled and prepared to take another sip to refresh himself. He couldn't stand the sleepless night and his eyelids were drooping. After all, no matter how good a Slavic warrior is, he is still a human being and must abide by the objective laws of being human.
But just when Alsim hadn't put the cigarette between his fingers into his mouth, a loud roar of an engine suddenly sounded from the direction of the street corner not far away.
The sound came from far away and the decibels kept increasing.
At first, Alsim only heard a little bit and thought he had heard it wrong, so he stopped what he was doing and listened attentively.
When the roar of the engine became louder and louder, Alsim, who confirmed the situation, threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, stood up and stomped it out with one foot, and immediately spoke.
"Our people are here, take your positions! Get ready! "
The direction from which the voice came was exactly the direction from which his combat engineer squad came. It was obvious that there was no need to say who the engine roared from far to near.
But, there was still a problem.
When the engine roar was very clear, even a little deafening, and came to a fairly close distance.
Alsim, who had been looking a little strange from the beginning, as if he had noticed something but was not convenient to say it, suddenly shuddered all over. The steel figure that quietly emerged from the gradually fading light night was obviously wrong!
"Sukka! That's the German's Black Panther! ? Where did this Sukka come from? ! ! "
Not only Alsim, but the deputy company commander beside him also noticed the problem almost at the same time.
The head was obviously much smaller than the heavyweight physique, and the overall shape was angular and not round at all. This familiar feeling that could be recognized even if it turned into ashes was exactly the "classic" Black Panther shape of the German.
"This is bad, Alsim! He had no weapons with him. He had nothing. Apart from his rifle and pistol, he only had a saber and a grenade. ”
For the convenience of action, the lightly-equipped combat engineer troops did not bring any weapons and equipment that could be used to perform anti-tank tasks, and even the amount of ammunition they carried was only half of the normal amount. They tried to travel as lightly as possible and not carry too much. After all, the enemies they planned to deal with were just flesh and blood, not thick-skinned armored vehicles.
Now, a group of German Black Panthers rushed out from nowhere, tearing the last night before dawn and rushing towards them like beasts rushing out of a cage.
Could it be that something went wrong and was exposed? Did the German mobile reinforcements rush over after receiving the news?
Comrade Lian, who was crying out that it was not good, had countless possibilities flashing through his mind, and at the same time was looking for the most likely solution and trying to break the deadlock.
But Alsim on the side laughed at this moment, holding the monocular in his hand and laughing. Comrade Lian, who was anxious and angry, but didn't know what was going on with Alsim's weird expression, was confused.
"What are you laughing at? It's time now and you still have the mood to laugh! ? Otherwise, let the soldiers hide in the buildings on both sides first. We can't confront the Germans head-on now. "
"Germans? Who told you that the Germans were coming from the opposite side?"
Alsim, who put away the telescopic telescope in his hand with a smile, raised the corner of his mouth. Although it was an expected unexpected situation, after seeing the truth in the telescope and thinking about it, he felt that this was normal.
"There are the Guards logo and the leader division emblem on the turret. The call sign of the turret of the leading vehicle is also our division. I have seen this vehicle before and I still have some impression of it. The front fender of its left track is missing, and it has not been replaced yet. I guess there are no spare parts. This feature is easy to remember. After all, our division has only so many Black Panther IIs. "
"Our, our division? You mean that is our division's Black Panther II? Are you sure?"
Alsim was happy. There was no point in saying more. He directly handed the telescope that had been retracted in his hand to the company deputy.
"Here, if you don't believe it, look for yourself. "
The deputy company officer, who was a little incredulous, took the telescope and opened it to take a look.
Wow!
What Alsim said was true! The Panther IIs in the lead and the ones following closely behind all had the emblem of the leader division and the Guards logo on their turrets. Combined with the fact that these Panther IIs came from the direction they came from, from behind, rather than from the deep inside of Berlin City in front, all this can be explained together.
"Suka! I was almost scared to death! The mission briefing didn't say that the main force would use this thing to meet us. Why didn't they make it clear in advance for such an important situation? It almost caused trouble."
The deputy company commander next to him was frightened and complained about the false alarm, but Alsim thought it was reasonable and nothing serious.
"It doesn't matter what the model is. What matters is that they know the code, that's enough."
Alsim, who could see the situation even without a telescope, raised his hand and pointed. The connection code that had not stopped moving forward but had been sent was extremely conspicuous.
"Three long and two short flashlights, the code is accurate, we are sure it is one of our own."
As Alsim said.
When those tall Panther IIs, which were as big as the Red Army's heavy tanks, really drove forward, the infantry transport vehicles following the tanks were all 251 half-track vehicles. A column of more than 20 armored vehicles were all German equipment.
But the people who got off the half-track vehicles were not Germans.
"Sorry for the wait. Great job, Comrade Alsim. Comrade Division Commander is right. You combat engineers are all like this no matter what you do!"
