Chapter 514 Ambush

Second Lieutenant Alexei is a Siberian, and most of the members of the platoon he leads are also like this.

Alexei's unit is quite special. First of all, they all participated in the Battle of Nomonhan three years ago, which gave Alexei and others rich combat experience.

Secondly, Alexei's unit has received "extreme cold training". The so-called "extreme cold training" is an extreme training for troops in Siberia at minus dozens of degrees... They often have only a handful of fried noodles for a day. It is difficult to survive in this situation, but they are required to have combat effectiveness.

This is also one of the reasons why General Pukayev sent them to perform the mission.

Alexei felt very headache about this mission because he didn't know much information. Although he had a photo of the "legendary sergeant", it was useless.

The reason is that this photo was a recruitment photo cut out by a Soviet spy from a German newspaper. Not to mention that it has been a while since now, it is winter and it is still a battlefield. Everyone's appearance has changed drastically because they have not showered or shaved for a long time. It is impossible to recognize people from the photo.

The only thing Alexei can do is to hope to find out the approximate location of this "legendary sergeant" from the serial number.

So he asked Fu Yashi to inquire about the location of the second infantry company of the first battalion of the German army.

Fu Yashi is the Soviet army's insider in Holm. She is already 71 years old, but this is also her advantage, because no one will doubt an old woman who has difficulty walking and may fall to the ground at any time and die of hunger and cold.

Fu Yashi really lived up to expectations and soon brought good news to Alexei.

"They are in the northwest corner, next to the forge!" Fu Yashi said, "There are two houses there, originally belonging to the Larissa sisters, but as you know, they have become ruins, and they are in the cellar!"

"How did you get this information?" Alexi asked, he had to ensure that this information was reliable.

"I asked the Germans!" Fu Yashi replied, "I told him that the Second Company requisitioned us to carry the wounded and the dead, but I couldn't find where they were!"

"They often ask you to do this, right?"

"Yes!"

Alexi nodded with satisfaction, which meant that the German army would not be suspicious of this.

"Now!" Alexi turned around and said to the team members behind him: "Things are much easier. Our target is a sniper, so he should have a sniper rifle in his hand. His rank is a captain... But this seems useless. It is difficult to see his rank from a distance under the camouflage cloak!"

Looking at the map, Alexi said: "Two options, one is to ambush at position 3 and wait for the target to appear."

"This plan doesn't seem to be very safe!" A sergeant replied: "There are Germans everywhere here. If we ambush somewhere for a long time, it will be easy for them to find us. Then the enemy will search for us, and we will be exposed before we complete the mission!"

"Another plan..."

Qin Chuan knew nothing about the Soviet army's actions. He was still running between the defense line and the cellar as usual. Since the Soviet army usually attacked at night, Qin Chuan was more likely to switch to the defense line at night and rest in the cellar during the day.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for the Soviet assassination team to find the target.

It was nine o'clock in the morning. Usually, both the enemy and us should rest at this time, but today was a little different...

"Captain!" Dominic ran into the cellar and said to Qin Chuan: "The Soviets attacked!"

"Attack? What attack?" Qin Chuan opened his awkward eyes and looked at the entrance of the tunnel, then looked at his watch and said with some dissatisfaction: "Dominic, you should report to the lieutenant colonel during the day!"

"It was the lieutenant colonel who asked me to wake you up!" Dominic said: "The Soviets launched an attack, more than a dozen tanks!"

Qin Chuan listened with a confused look on his face: "More than a dozen tanks?"

"Yes!" Dominic nodded.

Qin Chuan got up and walked towards the defense line with a rifle, thinking as he walked...Are the Soviets crazy? Sending more than a dozen tanks to attack during the day, isn't this courting death? !

Going into the defense line along the communication trench and looking down, there were indeed more than a dozen tanks covering the Soviet army's attack, and those tanks were the "Matilda" tanks that the German army was very familiar with.

It is not surprising that the Matilda tanks would appear on the Soviet-German battlefield. That was the British aid to the Soviet Union... The British army provided the Soviet Union with the most "Valentine" tanks, a total of 2,394 tanks, followed by "Matilda" tanks, a total of 1,084 tanks.

However, the Soviets did not like to use these infantry tanks because their mobility was too poor, especially the "Matilda", so they were more used in second-line operations, such as the current attack on Holm.

But now this way of fighting is too strange, these tanks are almost used as cannon fodder!

Qin Chuan guessed that this might be because the Soviet army could not attack for a long time at night, so they wanted to change their offensive methods, such as organizing an air force to intercept the air support that the German army was about to come, and then the tanks could play a stronger offensive power during the day than at night.

But Qin Chuan soon found that this judgment was not true, because several "Stuka" bombers had arrived and started a massacre of the "Matilda" that was crawling slowly like a turtle on the ground.

Then, Qin Chuan suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and the Soviet army's actions were to lure him out.

What to do with it?

What can the Soviet army do to him?

The next second, Qin Chuan shrank his head into the trench and then quickly climbed a distance...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh!" A row of bullets hit a string of ice flowers right where he was. There were even a few bullets that lifted up Qin Chuan's camouflage cloak. Afterwards, Qin Chuan discovered that several bullets had been shot on it. Bullet holes.

"The enemy is behind us!" Qin Chuan shouted.

Qin Chuan immediately judged that there was at least a machine gun and a sniper rifle targeting him, so Qin Chuan did not dare to take the lead again.

The German soldiers looked back in shock, and sure enough, they saw a small group of enemies dressed as civilians appearing behind them. They were holding guns and attacking the German defense line in a very professional coordinated formation.

Just when the German army turned around to organize their defense, there was a roar of artillery shells in the sky...

This made Qinchuan even more certain that he was the target of the Soviet attack, because he could tell from the whistling sound of the artillery shells that they were all aimed at his location.
