Chapter 2724 Thomson's Wonderful Adventure

"That was after we arrived at the front line, when we just started taking photos and the escort team was on alert all around. At that time, David and I were looking for cover at the entrance of the alley."

Kalachev's office was temporarily vacated as a dialogue space for Malashenko and Kovanov to explain the whole thing clearly.

Malashenko didn't have much time to listen to Kovanov's story slowly. Kovanov, who knew that he had to be brief and concise, did not have any timidity or fear.

Just like his good brother Sulovchenko said, no matter what happens next, things have already happened.

Responsibilities must be taken and the consequences must be faced.

No matter how bad it was, Kovanov, who had regained his calm thinking, had made all mental preparations. The slowly passing time seemed to be gradually reversed with these conversations, returning to the original origin before all the accidents broke out.

Swoosh——

Crackle——

"No! Too dangerous! This is the limit, David! Can't go any further! I'll give you the last thirty seconds, prepare to evacuate!"

The scattered bullets, the dazzling tracer barrage, and the thunderous explosions that sounded from time to time, along with a huge amount of high-speed impact bullet fragments, were scattered everywhere.

Together with the ricochets and stray bullets from all angles, the walls of the alley used for hiding and cover were hit with all kinds of brick and stone debris, and just a piercing on the face would make people feel painful.

Kovanov, who was deeply aware that this place was too dangerous and not suitable for staying for a long time, fulfilled his duties. While keeping a close eye on David, who was close to him, and trying to protect his safety, he was still vigilantly looking around for any direction that might suddenly cause danger, tightly holding the pistol in his hand that had been pulled out of the holster and loaded with bullets.

In a street battle so close to the front line, it is not surprising that a fearless and fanatical German suddenly jumped out of a door nearby and started shooting randomly. Anyone who wants to survive cannot help but be extra vigilant.

Kovanov's primary task is to ensure the safety of the target, while David, who also has his own unspeakable secrets, still needs some time, at least longer than thirty seconds to complete his primary task.

"It will take a while, please give me some more time! I don't have enough photos, and I haven't completed the task! If it doesn't work, you can leave me alone, I can protect myself, please rest assured! I have this in my hand!"

The American guy with a camera in one hand and a weapon in the other looked quite confident. He didn't mind the weapon in his hand at all. It was taken from the arsenal of the leader division and borrowed from the Soviets - a Thompson submachine gun with a tortuous and bizarre history.

Where did the "Chicago typewriter" come from the arsenal of the leader division?

Asking this question, of course, is related to our "Grand Chamberlain" Karamov, who is known as a "mechanical fanatic".

Karamov's hobby of tinkering with various machines, especially collecting various firearms, has a long history. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Karamov, who followed Malashenko to fight east and west, collected a lot of rare firearms from the Germans.

Including but not limited to the ZB26 Czech light machine gun, Suomi submachine gun, and even the Mauser C that directly made Malashenko full of emotions

It's a pity that the situation was not good in the early days of the Great Patriotic War, and there were often adverse and bad battles.

These rare firearms that Karamov collected with great effort were also ordered by Malashenko to be taken out in a brutal battle, and distributed to the workers' armed team, and they were not taken back after the war. At that time, it was a hard life with not enough guns to use, which is completely incomparable to the rich life of the leader division now.

Later, his life gradually became better. Although Karamov felt sad that his inventory collection was cleared, he finally chose to go back to his old business and start from scratch again.

The rare guns that were cleared before were basically seized and replenished again, and even some rarer guns that were not available before were added.

For example, the American-made Thompson submachine gun seized from the Germans.

What? You ask where it came from?

Don't ask, it's a local specialty brought back from Africa by Rommel's army. I just don't know how the Germans usually replenished the 45-caliber bullets for this thing. Anyway, when Karamov got this thing, there was a whole bag of guns and bullets, with hundreds of rounds, enough to fill dozens of magazines.

That is to say, this thing was taken to Africa by the US military to fight the Germans, but they did not expect that the Germans would fight back and confiscate the gun. Then the Americans, who were proud of their reputation, fought back and successfully drove Rommel's army out of Africa, but this Thompson submachine gun was taken all the way back to Germany as a trophy.

Then due to the troop transfer and the change of the front line, a certain unit of the former German African Corps holding this gun was transferred to the Eastern Front to put out the fire and resist the fierce edge of the Leader Division.

Of course, this result is the same as that of most German troops.

Since the Leader Division completed the synthetic reorganization, no group of German troops has been able to win and repel the Leader Division head-on, so this Thompson submachine gun, which has been passed around for many times, naturally fell into the hands of the Soviets and became the private collection of Karamov, the chief eunuch of the Leader Division.

To put it simply, this Thompson submachine gun went from the United States to North Africa, from North Africa to Italy, from Italy to Germany, and then from Germany to Poland, and finally returned to Germany in the hands of the Soviets and came to Berlin. Awesome experience. During this period, it experienced three owners from the United States, Germany and the Soviet Union, so in a sense, if you say it is a "house slave with three surnames", it is indeed correct. It can be called "Thomson's Bizarre Adventure".

Oh, no, to be precise, this is the fourth owner now.

Because these "domestic slaves with three surnames" are now back in the hands of the Americans, even if they are only temporarily borrowed.

Out of the need for self-defense on the battlefield, Kovanov took David to pick out a weapon that he could use before leaving.

As a result, all kinds of Soviet and German weapons were lined up in the armory. David looked left and right, but he didn't like anything.

It is true that David has actual combat experience, but during his service in the Marine Corps, he only fought against the bow-legged little Japanese in the Pacific battlefield. If you really want to say that you are familiar with weapons, those are American weapons and Japanese weapons. As for Su weapons and German weapons

Sorry, I haven't played it, so I really don't understand.

Every veteran knows that if you go to the battlefield with a gun that you are new to and unfamiliar with its performance and feel, you may lose your life. Both David and Kovanov understand this.

In this case, there was nothing he could do. Kovanov could only help David find beautiful weapons. It was hoped that the leader's division, which had received a lot of equipment and supplies from the US aid, would have American guns available that would make David feel comfortable.

In fact, there is no other way except to find beautiful weapons. You can't let the leader go looking for the little devil's broken gun, right?

Don't say that you don't have that thing, even if you do have it, it will be chopped up by the leader's cooking team and used to set up a pot for dinner, or a handful will be left in the latrine to use as a pole for carrying dung. After all, the length is indeed long enough, and it is easy to use for picking up excrement, and you are not afraid of getting it on your hands. The only valuable role of your little devil's 38 big cover in the leader is limited to this, if there is any.

It's a pity that it doesn't exist now, but maybe, probably, there will be a high probability in the future.

All in all, Kovanov, who contacted "General Manager" Karamov for help, finally got help. Karamov, who loves to collect rare firearms, does have American guns in his hands, and there are many types and more than one type.

Hearing that this matter was personally supervised by the division commander, Karamov did not hide it and was very generous. He took out the best-performing and retired Marine Corps gun from the many American guns in his collection. Wei's most familiar gun, the Thompson submachine gun, was delivered directly to the door by a special car with the gun and ammunition included.

Kovanov, who had settled the matter of self-defense weapons, was still scolding you in his mind that Americans are so difficult to serve, but when he couldn't serve him, he never thought that he could pick up Thomson's David again. But there was a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Hey! Mr. Major, Thomson and I are old friends. When we were in the Pacific, I used it to knock down scores of Japanese Japs until I was disabled and retired. Picking it up felt like I was back on the battlefield again. "

Kovanov, who had a dark look on his face, shook his head. It wasn't that he was deliberately throwing cold water on him, but he just followed up with a moderate reminder.

"It's a pity that instead of going back to the Pacific, you came to the Berlin battlefield - the Soviet Berlin battlefield."
