I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 100 Whereabouts Exposed

The old woman in the house was already in a dying state. She had been shot in the abdomen, and given her old age and frailty, there was no way she could be saved.

"what happened?"

Lin Chen asked the others.

"There was another German soldier hiding in the kitchen. When I walked in, the German soldier was going to shoot me, but the aunt reminded me, so I avoided the enemy's bullet. But she..." Sergei had a look of grief and self-blame on his face.

"Child," the old woman grabbed Lin Chen's hand, breathing weakly, "You must live well. I have a grandson named Sasha, who is in the guerrillas."

She didn't finish her words, but tilted her head to the side.
Everyone understood that this was to hope that Lin Chen and his men could find his grandson and protect him, but they were now in a difficult situation, and how could they find him in such a vast sea of ​​people? The Soviet guerrillas behind enemy lines were so numerous that even they themselves did not know how many people there were.

We can only take one step at a time.

"Captain, what should we do with that German lieutenant?" Sergei said with a look of resentment.

“What else can we do? Interrogate him, and then…” Lin Chen made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Okay, I'm good at this!" Sergei burst into laughter.

"Everyone else, clean up the battlefield and replenish ammunition and supplies. Quickly!"

As waves of pig-slaughtering screams came from the house, the German lieutenant's shouting and cursing gradually turned into pleas for mercy.

Sergei wiped the blood off his hands and walked to Lin Chen with a heavy heart.

"Captain, the situation is not good. This team of soldiers was ordered to go to the north to reinforce the checkpoints. They are targeting us. According to him, other troops have also received the notice. It is estimated that the road to the north is heavily guarded."

He handed over a map.

Lin Chen opened it and saw that almost all the bridges and intersections in the north had corresponding garrisons, which were so densely packed that it was shocking.

It seems that although Model has no time to deal with himself, he can still ask other troops for help.

There are only five of us. If our whereabouts are exposed and we are surrounded, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Although he was very skilled, a vicious tiger could not defeat a pack of wolves.

"We're not going north! We're going south!" Lin Chen made an extremely bold decision.

"What, go south?" The two young soldiers were stunned.

"Captain, if we go south, won't we enter the defense zone of the German Second Army?" Sergei was a little confused.

"Yes, the Second Army's defense zone is indeed good, but according to intelligence, the Second Army will mainly carry out feint attacks and auxiliary attacks in the next battle. In fact, its most important task is defense. Although it has more than a dozen divisions, most of them are disabled troops. Many new recruits are added in, and the probability of not knowing them is very high." Lin Chen became more and more confident as he spoke.
"Don't forget, the certificate and identity issued to me at that time was that of a second lieutenant officer of the Second Army. Now the German army thinks we will retreat to the east or north, so we will go the other way and head south!"

"If the Germans can't find us in the east and north, won't they run to the south?" Lech put forward his own point of view.

"By the time they adjust, we will have already run far away. Besides, the Battle of Kursk is about to begin. The German army will not have time to attack, so how can they have time to take care of us?" Lin Chen has made up his mind and will resolutely implement it.

"Don't hesitate any longer. Time is running out. Is the battlefield clean?"

"Yes, we have dealt with the enemy's bodies, and we have also buried the old lady's body. We seized a lot of supplies this time, and Lechi also added fuel from one military vehicle to another one that was in better condition. It should be enough for us to drive a long way."

The five people got on the military vehicle again and drove along the road, first heading west, and then turning back south.

Lin Chen's idea was very direct. It would be best if the Second Army could bypass it. If not, then they could only act according to circumstances. After passing this defense zone, the battle should have reached its climax. Then they could find a way to fish in troubled waters and retreat.

The journey was extremely long. Although we encountered German vehicles along the way, neither side greeted each other, so the journey was relatively peaceful.

When it was almost dawn, we finally arrived at the small town of Luxon in the southwest, which was very close to the city of Gorokhov where the Second Army was stationed.

Since Lin Chen and his companions were in a military vehicle and had the identity of lieutenants (for safety reasons, Lin Chen decisively changed his identity and rank to that of the lieutenant who had been killed. In this war era of black-and-white photos, there were too many people whose photos did not look like the real people), they passed the entrance checkpoint at the entrance of the town smoothly.

I had originally planned to pass through this small town and then take a detour to continue west, but I didn't expect something to go wrong at the checkpoint leaving the town.

"Mr. Lieutenant, are you going back to the unit?" the corporal in charge of the inspection suddenly asked.

Lin Chen's heart tightened. How could he know where the troops were? If they were, then maybe he was going in the wrong direction when leaving the town? So he suddenly had an idea.
"This is a military secret."

Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with Lin Chen's answer, but the key point was that just ten minutes later, the lieutenant's superior, Captain Bode, happened to pass by here.

Although he was an SS officer, he performed extremely poorly in last year's winter offensive, so he took the remnants of his troops to rest in the town.

Anyone could see by now that it was frustrating that he was being left idle while the German offensive was imminent.

So when the Second Army wanted to draw troops to support the Ninth Army, he enthusiastically sent out his capable subordinate, the lieutenant who was killed by Lin Chen.

Now the corporal said something to him unintentionally, which immediately made him feel something was wrong.

He clearly sent his subordinates north, so how come they went west?
He then asked the corporal in detail about the facial features and number of his men, and found that they did not match at all, while the military license plate that passed showed that it was a vehicle from his regiment.

His long-standing military vigilance made him feel that something was wrong.

So he immediately used the phone at the checkpoint to ask the regiment to inquire at the Ninth Army whether his men were missing.

As a result, the other side was confused and said that they didn't pick up the person at all. They also asked whether we would send anyone over.
When Colonel Bode heard this, he realized that all of his men were probably killed, and this group of people must be enemies!

However, after a brief moment of anger, he suddenly felt that this was an unprecedented opportunity to make a contribution!

If he could eliminate these people, he might be able to get promoted.

Therefore, he made a prompt decision and wanted to take all the credit.

He called his own troops and immediately sent two companies with more complete personnel to join him and pursue the enemy together.

The SS reacted quickly. Although the troops were crippled, the two companies together still had more than eighty people. Bode didn't believe that he would not be able to solve the problem with so many people.

Lin Chen and the others had no idea that they were about to face a disaster, and were still looking at the map as they drove west on the highway. Because it had rained last night, the road was muddy and they couldn't drive fast at all.

A few people took out the canned food and bread they had captured from the German army and made do with them.
After not sleeping for a whole night, everyone was very tired, but it was actually very dangerous during the day, so Lin Chen asked everyone not to fall asleep and to remain vigilant.

"Captain, there's something going on back there!"

Hearing the shouting from behind, Lin Chen immediately looked back through the rearview mirror and found that there were four military trucks speeding on the road.

On such a muddy road, the German army was running at full speed, either on emergency deployment or chasing us.

To the west is the German-occupied area, so there is no need to drive so hard. The only explanation is that we have been exposed.

"Prepare for battle!" Although he didn't know how he was exposed, the German army had not yet opened fire. He had to use this precious gap to quickly come up with a plan.

According to the map, there was no place to hide nearby. The nearest forest was about 5 kilometers away. How could the German army let them drive so far?
While he was still thinking, the bullets behind him had already started firing.

The effective range of the MG34 machine gun's bullets is more than one thousand meters, so it can launch an attack from a long distance.

Since the other party has already torn off their face and is too lazy to even verify the facts, why should they be polite?
"Shoot!" Lin Chen gave an order, and Sergei set up the machine gun on the rear compartment and started firing crazily.

Hearing the sound of gunfire from behind, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel distressed.
"You loser, be frugal and shoot in bursts!"

Sergei suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and began to shoot accurately.

At this moment, Bode, who was in the back, really wanted to pull out his gun and shoot the idiot in the car in front. How could he start shooting from such a distance?

He originally wanted to catch up with the man, then trick him into getting out of the car before taking action, which would be a foolproof way.

But one of the stupid recruits on the car lost his patience and fired a shot with his rifle. Now the machine gunner on the front car could only fire, but as the convoy was moving vertically, only the front machine gun could fire and its power could not be fully exerted!

In the future, the SS must not only look at appearance when selecting new recruits, but must also pay attention to their psychological qualities.

This is the biggest thought in Captain Bode's mind at the moment.

It was obvious that Lechi's driving skills were average, and the distance between the two sides began to gradually narrow. It would be extremely dangerous if it continued like this. He also considered driving himself, but after some thought, he decided to do more important things.

He climbed out from the front passenger seat, skillfully jumped to the side of the vehicle at the back, cut the canvas with a dagger, and dived in.

Seeing that the carriage was full of bullet holes and a soldier was shot in the shoulder, he immediately became furious.

"Grizzly, you have a pig brain, hit the cab of the car in front!"

Sergei was feeling very frustrated at the moment. He wanted to do something, but the road was so bumpy that he had no idea where the bullets had gone. The enemy's weapons were obviously better. Although it was just a machine gun, the powerful firepower was enough to make this side unable to raise their heads.

If there weren't sandbags at the back of the car, all of them would have died gloriously.

Bode's troops were the SS, and their equipment was much more advanced. For example, they used the latest MG42 general-purpose machine gun, which had not yet been mass-produced, but was given priority to the SS troops.

The gun is made almost entirely of stamped parts, which is not only lighter than the MG34 and has a lower cost, but also has a much higher rate of fire and accuracy.

The MG34 only has a firing rate of 800-900 rounds per minute, but it has reached a firing rate of 1200 rounds per minute, and is nicknamed "Mustache Electric Saw". The military has given the gun three superlative adjectives: "Shortest time, lowest cost, but the best weapon".

"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" Lin Chen pushed Sergei away, and while the other party was changing the magazine, he suddenly raised his head and concentrated his abnormal attention. At this moment, the changes in the scene around him began to become extremely slow, and his eyesight was significantly improved.

See clearly!

He seized a good opportunity and fired a volley of bullets, hitting the driver right in the body. The blood splattered everywhere, making the cab a mess. The vehicle naturally lost control and overturned right in the middle of the road.

The vehicle behind him braked suddenly, which made Bode so angry that he wanted to curse. Why couldn't he hit the Soviet army's tires?
Since there were muddy fields on both sides of the road, the traffic conditions were extremely poor, so he could only urge his subordinates to move the damaged vehicles away, and then watch Lin Chen and others drive away.

Although he was out of danger temporarily, Lin Chen couldn't be happy at all when facing the thumbs up from Sergei and others. The enemy might deploy blocking forces in front, and that broken car could not stop the enemy for long, so he would have to fight fiercely in the end.

The military vehicle continued to move forward, and after about a few minutes, everyone saw a roadblock across the road and about a squad of German Security Division garrison troops.

"What should we do, Captain?" Lechi asked anxiously.

Lin Chen was so scared that sweat was pouring down his forehead, but soon a confident and cunning smile appeared on his face.

"Drive over there, Lechi, you come with me, and tell them that the people behind us are disguised as Soviets, wearing our clothes, and we ask them to stop them together!"

This bold plan made everyone stunned! But after thinking about it carefully, although this plan is risky, it is indeed feasible. Otherwise, if you insist on it, you will die.

Lin Chen is really a performing genius. As soon as the German sentry in front ordered to stop the car, he and Lech jumped out of the car and ran over, shouting in German at the top of their lungs.

The two German sentries looked at the two SS soldiers suspiciously.

At this time Lin Chen saw clearly that the two were just sergeants of the security division, with a much lower rank than the SS officer he was pretending to be, so he immediately put on the style of an SS officer.

"There are Soviet enemies in disguise behind us. I need you to help us stop the enemies," he said, and then he took out the special pass.

The two non-commissioned officers of the security division had never seen such "high-end goods". Coupled with Lin Chen's medals and his fluent authentic German, their doubts were immediately mostly dispelled.

With their approval, the sentries immediately made way. Lech went up again and parked the car on the side of the road. Sergei and others jumped out of the car one after another and spread out on both sides neatly according to Lin Chen's gestures. In particular, Sergei's machine gun was very skillfully set up on a tripod, and like the other gun muzzles, they were all facing the direction they came from.

In fact, everyone was secretly terrified because they saw from the corner of their eyes that the German soldiers around them were looking at it with confusion.

Lin Chen gave loud orders, asking the security division's troops to join him in dealing with the Soviet army, and that reinforcements would arrive soon.

The sergeant of the security division was dumbfounded. If the SS reinforcements really came and he didn't contribute, he would most likely be in trouble. So the real and fake German soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns, unscrewed the caps of the grenades and put them aside, and got ready for battle.
