Chapter 2622 Lead the Way

There is a question that Malashenko has been thinking about since just now.

Why did this young German soldier hide his regiment commander? Yes, he said that he wanted his regiment commander to get medical assistance and survive, which is true.

But what about other reasons? Why did he do it in other ways?

Did he think that the Red Army would kill his seriously injured regiment commander directly? Or did he want to explain the situation first, prove that his regiment commander was valuable, and get guarantees before he was willing to tell where he was?

Malashenko didn't know the specific reason, but he didn't plan to ask now.

As the first battle in the main city of Berlin, although it was not large in scale and was only a regimental-level fight, compared with the leader division that specializes in big battles, such a battle is at most a "warm-up exercise".

However, Malashenko was more interested in the first captured German senior commander in charge of city defense.

Although this "senior" was a bit reluctant, just a regiment commander, he was still a commander with military power and responsible for the defense of an entire block.

Malashenko was not interested in how he deployed defense in the area he was responsible for. He was already fucking shot through, so why was he interested?

What was important was the more advanced content that this guy knew, such as the German deployment in other adjacent areas, whether the nearby Germans had large reserves of mobile defense, and the deployment of troops in the German defense zone further forward, etc. This was what Malashenko was interested in.

I didn't say that the German regiment commander knew everything, but he should be able to find out some useful things. With the attitude of trying his best, Malashenko planned to try it out first, maybe there would be some unexpected gains.

"That's it. We have to go upstairs, on the second floor. Do you need me to lead the way?"

"Hmm?"

Malashenko, who was thinking while walking, noticed that the German soldier leading the way had stopped when he heard this.

As he spoke, he looked up and found that the place where he stopped was a two-story building that looked plain and even a little old. Standing in the capital city of Berlin, where luxurious and beautiful buildings are lined up and filled the streets, such a two-story building is really inconspicuous and easy to be overlooked. It seems that this is the place where the German general soldier said he hid his seriously injured commander.

"Your commander is hidden on the second floor?"

Malachenko spoke for the last time to confirm. If there is no problem, then we should start the action.

After all, time waits for no one. If the body in hand is really dead, it will be a wasted trip. Malachenko wants to live.

"Yes, he is on the second floor. I hid him behind the closet with the door closed. Both of his legs were injured and he couldn't move or run. He bled a lot and I couldn't stop the wound. You can find him when you go up. Please save him and keep your promise."

"Don't worry about that. Since you can keep your promise, I can too. I will make sure to do what I promised you."

Malashenko could see that the German soldier was sincere. He was so anxious that he almost had the word "King of Anxiety" written on his face. Judging from this, the relationship between the soldier and the commander was quite good. Maybe the commander had done him a favor before? Ha, who knows.

In short, all the answers will be revealed when we go up.

"You continue to lead the way, and everyone follow."

"Yes!"

The first half of the sentence was said in German to the German soldier, and the second half in Russian to his comrades who were accompanying him.

Malashenko is good at speaking both Russian and German. Compared with many translators who are not very good at it, our division commander's German level is almost as good as Russian, which is much better.

The veteran combat engineers under Alsim who accompanied Malashenko were all veteran combat engineers who killed Nazis without blinking an eye.

These people may be ruffians, or mixed up, or even bloodthirsty beasts when dealing with the enemy, and they can even be said to be "cruel and ruthless" in battle.

But it is undeniable that these people have very strong professional qualities, and the ruffian flavor is one of the final forms of veterans who have evolved to the final stage. When it is time to be serious, they will never continue to be ruffian. Under Alsim's leadership, Malashenko is well protected. Every suspicious building on the street has at least one pair of eyes staring at it.

The soldiers of the leader division who won the battle have basically cleared and occupied all the main buildings on the street, especially those where German troops were stationed and battles broke out.

The snipers belonging to the first-level support unit of the mechanized infantry platoon also quickly came to the roof of the commanding height building after the battle. They set up sniper rifles in groups of two and monitored all suspicious buildings within the field of vision.

The remaining houses that looked harmless and had not been the scene of fighting due to the German army’s presence were now being searched house by house by the Red Army soldiers who had freed up their hands, under the surveillance cover of their own commanding heights.

This search of the residents of the house does sound very troublesome, but it has to be done. It is necessary and there is no other choice.

If you don't go in and search, you will never know if there is a Nazi soldier hiding in the house. It may be a sniper or even a fanatic wrapped in explosives, like a time bomb that can explode at any time. It hides in the dark place you don't know, watching everything, and suddenly jumps out to give you a blow when it thinks the exchange value is the highest.

Maybe it will blow up the transport convoy and block the traffic, or it may be sniping the important personnel or senior commanders passing by or inspecting. No one can say well about this kind of thing. It depends on how the Nazi remnants who are plotting to do something big plan and think.

And such a thing is obviously intolerable. If such a thing really happens, those who are responsible, from the squad leader to the platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander and even brigade commander, will not be able to escape and will all be punished in a row. So this thing is something that must be done no matter how troublesome it is. You can't be emotional. As long as you are still responsible, you have to take responsibility.

It was only after entering the house that Malashenko discovered that there had never been a fierce battle in this small building.

Although the streets outside were full of bullet holes, corpses, and blood, the scene inside the small building gave people a feeling of

Well, it was quite warm. After searching for adjectives in his mind for a long time, Malashenko felt that he had to say so.
