Chapter 565 You Think

"Put the gun somewhere else? What does that mean, Comrade Malashenko?"

Malashenko, with obvious doubts in his eyes, turned around and shouted at Lavrinenko, who was directing the digging of trenches not far away.

"Hey! Lavrinenko, go to Karamov and ask him to bring the treasures he collected by car!"

As Malashenko's "chief steward", Captain Karamov, the commander of the field maintenance battalion, is undoubtedly an avid mechanical enthusiast.

The most common thing he does on weekdays is to deal with tanks full of oil smell and stains. Of course, this does not prevent him from having some other hobbies, such as collecting some German standard weapons that are rarely seen on weekdays.

When Lavrinenko drove a GAZ truck over, Lieutenant Vasily, who seemed like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, was almost stunned by the scene in front of him.

The truck compartment was filled with all kinds of German weapons that he had seen or never seen before.

Most of these weapons are automatic weapons, most of which are German MP38 and MP40 submachine guns, and they are in excellent condition and maintenance. The black gun body shines silver in the sun, which makes people unable to open their eyes.

In addition to the common German standard submachine guns, Captain Karamov's collection also includes Suomi submachine guns and even Czech-made ZB26 light machine guns.

The German army, which annexed Czechoslovakia, stuffed a considerable number of ready-made ZB26 light machine guns into the front-line troops for use. Originally, they were intended to be better than nothing, but they didn't expect that the front-line troops would have a good response.

The German soldiers gave a high degree of praise to this peculiar Czech-made light machine gun. Except for the small ammunition capacity, it has endless advantages. In short, it is a good gun.

Malashenko, who had fought with the German army many times before, had also captured several Czech ZB26 light machine guns. For this kind of ancestral artifact that was rare on the Soviet-German battlefield but was recognizable to the Chinese even if it turned into ashes, Malashenko always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Generally speaking, when cleaning up the captured light weapons on the battlefield, Malashenko would give them to friendly infantry to deal with. His First Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment basically didn't need these things. Even if they needed them, they would only pick up a few good guns like Suomi that were suitable for tank soldiers' self-defense and had excellent performance. Malashenko almost didn't even look at the other German light weapons below.

But the only thing Malashenko would never give to others when he saw the Czech ZB26.

Seeing that Malashenko liked this thing so much, Captain Karamov also started to think about it. He not only maintained all the captured ZB26 light machine guns himself, but also showed his artistic achievements to Malashenko from time to time, making the regiment commander smile happily while holding the ZB26. However, Karamov still didn't understand why Malashenko liked this gun so much.

So far, a total of 7 ZB26 light machine guns have been captured. This time, under the order of Malashenko, all of them were pulled out to replace the militia led by Lieutenant Vasily.

The rest of the common German light weapons such as MG34 and MP38/40 filled a whole carriage. The piles of guns were enough to make any man with blood surge. To some extent, it can be understood as a carriage full of wives waiting for you to pick.

With his hands on his hips, Malashenko, who was a little proud, was about to give a speech to the stunned Lieutenant Vasily beside him. Lavrinenko, who looked a little mysterious, quietly walked up and pulled Malashenko's sleeve, indicating that he should follow him to a place with fewer people to talk.

Malashenko, who was pulled by Lavrinenko's sleeve and walked more than ten meters away to a place where no one could hear him, asked a question first.

"What are you doing? So mysterious, what happened?"

"Are you going to give this car thing to those militiamen?"

Hearing Lavrinenko's sudden question, which made people confused, Malashenko, who was almost popping out three question marks on his head, was even more confused.

"What else? Do I ask you to pull this car thing over to show off?"

Lavrinenko, who thought it was bad, heard such an answer and simply stopped hiding it, and directly told Malashenko the bad news.

"Do you know that these things are all treasures that Karamov has collected since last year? You are so stupid to give them away for free! I know that these may be just a bunch of broken guns to us, but you know how Karamov treats these treasures on weekdays. Now I want to see how you will explain to him when you give them all away."

Malashenko, who was a little confused when asked by Lavrinenko, only considered the problem from his own perspective and showed off his wealth without considering Karamov's feelings.

"I thought these were just toys he used to kill time when he was free"

"What do you think? You think a lot of things! Do you think that Hitler and Mussolini's breech-loading is really true? Karamov will definitely make trouble with you. If you don't believe it, just send these things away and see."

The field maintenance battalion led by Captain Karamov is of unparalleled significance in the entire First Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment. If Karamov is really upset, Malashenko will ask himself if the situation is really serious.

"Damn, are these guys who love to study iron lumps and machines mentally ill? The German doctor before was like this, and Karamov is also like this. I really don't understand!"

Scratching his head, he felt that the problem was a bit tricky, but Malashenko, who had already boasted, felt that it was a bit embarrassing to take back what he had just said. In the final analysis, it was because he was too arrogant and too early that he couldn't get off the stage now.

After struggling for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and was determined to exercise the dictatorship of the regiment leader and spoke again in a very decisive manner.

"At this point, it's too late to worry about whether it's a treasure or not. Go tell Karamov that there will be plenty of opportunities to pick up these junk later. This time I'm going to forcibly requisition these guns to support the battle!"

"You want me to tell Karamov again?"

"Then do you want me to tell him in person?"

Lavrinenko was choked by Malashenko's words and was speechless for a while. He put his hands on his waist and felt helpless with Malashenko, and strode away and said a "harsh word".

"Every time I offend people, I'm the one who tells them. You're really unique as a regiment commander!"
