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

Chapter 103

Since the German army had not attacked for a long time, although everyone was uneasy, with Lin Chen's extraordinary skills, he searched and checked the church and most of the booby traps were eliminated.

All the booby traps that had been removed were placed outside again by Sergei and others. If the German army attacked, it would be easy to trigger these guys.

After Lin Chen eliminated the booby traps in the church corridor, several people secretly observed the street intersection to the west from the top floor of the church.

I couldn't help but gasp.

The German army not only had a large number of troops and abundant heavy firepower, but what made Lin Chen and others most despair was that they actually had a Type 2 tank.

Although this type of tank was a powerful weapon when the German army swept across Western Europe, it was obviously outdated on the Soviet-German battlefield. Later, the German army converted it into the "Hufeng" self-propelled 105mm howitzer vehicle, which was also a waste utilization.

But even so, the 20mm rapid-fire cannon installed on this obsolete product is a nightmare for Lin Chen and others.

Fortunately, I didn't choose to fight it directly with the truck, otherwise it would have been torn to pieces.

On the road that Lin Chen and others took, machine guns were placed on several commanding heights. It was truly a dangerous journey!
No wonder the German army did not attack, because there was no need to do so at all. Although the Soviet army could not escape at night, it would cause considerable losses to the German army.

If daybreak comes, with the cover of this tank, perhaps reinforcements will arrive from behind, and even if Lin Chen and others have nine lives, it will not be enough to survive.

When Lin Chen told the others what he had seen, everyone was terrified and turned pale. Some of the younger guerrillas even began to sob.

"What's the point of crying? The worst that can happen is we'll fight to the death! I've already killed enough people to make enough money!" Sergei looked at those "cowards" with disdain.

Lin Chen did not blame them. How many people were not afraid of death? Especially since they were probably just ordinary people, and the Germans' burning, killing and looting forced them to take up arms to fight back. But now that the disaster was imminent, it was already good enough that they did not wet their pants.

However, military spirit and morale are the most important at the moment. If we let them cry, others will also become timid and there is no need to fight this battle!

"Okay, put away your horse urine, it's not time to cry yet!" Lin Chen stopped them and changed the subject, "We must break out overnight. Although the chances of winning are slim, if we wait until dawn, we won't even have a 10% chance!"

Lin Chen is now the backbone in everyone's eyes, especially the old team members such as Lieqi, who regard Lin Chen as the stabilizing force, because under his leadership, everyone can turn danger into safety every time.

This time, naturally, will be no exception.

"Although the German army has deployed a lot of people at the west intersection, the biggest threat to us is still that damn Type 2 tank." Lin Chen pointed out the most critical point. If this can be solved, there is still hope of breaking out.

But everyone looked at each other, scratched their heads and racked their brains but could not come up with any ideas.

When infantry attack tanks, it will cost lives. What's more, there are so many of them and the tanks are parked so far away that they can't reach them at all.

Lin Chen thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good idea. This was almost a dead end.

He even thought that it would be nice to have a "40 fire" machine gun, but unfortunately, he didn't have one. Apart from a batch of high explosives seized from the German army in the previous village, the strongest heavy firepower he had was Sergei's MG34 machine gun.

There’s no way to fight without a sniper rifle!

"Captain, we found two barrels of gasoline and a damaged Soviet anti-tank gun in the basement of the church." Kirilenko walked up from the basement and reported loudly.

"Anti-tank gun? Can it be used?" Lin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. If the damage was not too serious, he might be able to fix it.

"Captain, why don't you go and take a look?" Kirilenko was at a loss for words.

Lin Chen immediately stood up and walked towards the basement. Sergei, Hanta and others followed closely behind him. Lechi was responsible for the guard outside.

The first thing that caught my eye was a few old-fashioned shotguns, half a box of smoke bombs and a full box of grenades, followed by a Soviet M1930 (1-K) anti-tank gun, which was the first light anti-tank gun used by the Soviet Union after the start of the Great Patriotic War.

The gun body was covered with a gun casing, so even though it was covered with dust, there was no obvious sign of rust after it was lifted up, so it was well preserved.

No one knows when this antique was left here.

This basement was very hidden. Kirilenko discovered it by accident when he was urgently solving his problem and found that his urine was seeping down the floor.

颇具讽刺意味的是，它是完全根据引进的德国PAK35/36反坦克炮仿造出来的。同时，M1930（1-K）反坦克炮还作为BT-2轻型快速坦克主炮的原形。

Lin Chen checked it carefully and finally could only shake his head helplessly. This cannon was missing a lot of key parts and the worst thing was that there were no shells. What was the use of it?
"Captain, how is it? Can it be repaired?" Kirilenko, Sergei and others looked expectant.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen shook his head and said, "It's impossible to repair it unless there are spare parts and shells!"

Everyone was immediately disappointed when they heard this. Now they were trapped here, where would they get spare parts and shells? Everyone also noticed that there were indeed no shells here, so using anti-tank guns to deal with enemy tanks would definitely not work.

"Alas, it's really a waste of joy. When I saw this long and thick gun barrel, I thought I could knock out the damn German 'Turtle Shell' with one shot, opening a way for us to escape."

Hanta looked depressed. He stood up and kicked the useless piece of iron hard. As a result, he kicked a nut in the process, and the nut flew out and hit the gasoline barrel in the corner, causing a spark.

"Damn it, do you want to blow up this barrel of gasoline and help the Germans solve the trouble in advance?" Sergei was furious when he saw this scene. Everything was fine, but as soon as he met up with Hanta, he ended up in such a deadly situation.

The worst thing is that there are two such big barrels of gasoline. If they explode, won’t everyone be finished?

Hanta looked embarrassed. This was indeed a very unkind thing to do. Seeing everyone's looks, he was too embarrassed to say anything else and could only lower his head in embarrassment.

"What did you just say?" Lin Chen suddenly had an idea and shouted to Sergei.

Sergei was stunned. What happened? Did he get scolded by the captain for being disunited just because he shouted a few words?
"Nothing."

"No, repeat what you just said." Lin Chen was a little crazy.

"I said I would help the Germans solve their problems in advance."

"last sentence!"

"Well, blow up this barrel of gasoline." Sergei didn't understand why his captain asked this and thought he was going to scold him.

"Damn, well said!" Lin Chen slapped his thigh heavily, shocking everyone.

Seeing everyone's performance, Lin Chen smiled embarrassedly, but he quickly came up with his own ideas.
"Look, we have this gun, but it can't be used. Isn't the most important thing that it can't fire? If I can make it fire, how confident are we in getting out?" Lin Chen was very confident. "If we can use this gun to kill the enemy tank, I think we still have a good chance of winning. But didn't you say that this gun can't be repaired?" Kirilenko was full of doubts.

"It is indeed impossible to repair it, but it can be modified so that it can be used again. The only drawback is that the range may be relatively short!" Lin Chen looked at the two oil drums meaningfully, then turned around and ordered Kirilenko,

"Go get me some tools, do it yourself, and don't let anyone in here except us."

Lin Chen called Sergei and others to gather around and told them his plan. Everyone looked at Lin Chen in confusion. Would this really work?
Lin Chen and several others were chewing their dry food while modifying the things inside. During this period, the German army also launched two sneak attacks, but they were both repelled by the vigilant Lech organization. The booby traps that were set up in advance also caused the German army to suffer a great loss.

After two attempts, the German army was unwilling to continue the attack, just as Lin Chen had expected. Anyway, the problem could be solved after daybreak, so why rush?
"Who is it?" Kirilenko, who was on guard at the door, held the 98K rifle in his hand tightly with great vigilance.

"Don't shoot, comrade, it's me!" A figure emerged from the darkness. "I was worried that Captain Lin and the others were hungry. We just happened to have some bread, so I brought it to you."

Sure enough, he received some bread and a small bottle of wine.

This is really good stuff!
Kirilenko's appetite unconsciously began to growl, but he suddenly remembered what Lin Chen had said: drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited when performing a mission, and violators will be subject to military law.

So he could only swallow the saliva that was overflowing. "Take the wine away, leave the bread. Our captain said that other personnel cannot go in. We appreciate the kindness of the guerrilla brothers, but we have a rule that we cannot drink the wine."

"Haha, you regular army have so many rules. How about this, comrade, have a drink. It's quite cold here in the second half of the night. Have a sip to warm your body. I believe your leader won't notice." The other party very politely placed the bottle of wine at Kirilenko's feet.

In fact, when he said he drank a sip, he must have actually drunk the whole bottle. How can Russian men drink just one sip?

Moreover, Kirilenko is a big drinker, and after just one bottle of wine, he probably couldn't even taste the flavor of the wine.

The other party didn't say much, just handed over the food and left.

After the man left, Kirilenko couldn't take his eyes off the bottle. There were two villains fighting in his heart.
One said, "You won't die if you drink it! It's just one sip. I don't know if I can survive the battle later. It's worth drinking it before I die."

Another said, "You can't drink. The captain's order is an iron discipline. Are you still a qualified Red Army soldier? Are you still a member of the 'Red Star' special operations team?"

After repeated ideological struggles, greed finally overcame reason. He looked around guiltily to make sure there was no one around. Then he tiptoed to unscrew the cap of the wine bottle, and a strong aroma of wine wafted into his nose.

Damn it, drink it!

To hell with discipline!
"Creaky!" The basement door suddenly opened.
Kirilenko shuddered with fear, and the bottle of wine that he had just brought to his lips trembled and fell to the ground.

"Pah," it broke into pieces.
The aroma of wine spreads everywhere,

Lin Chen's smiling face was suddenly covered with frost.

"what happened?"

Faced with Lin Chen's cold questioning and the reproachful gazes of Sergei and others behind him, Kirilenko lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it on the spot.

"Hissssss~"

A strange sound was heard, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. The wine on the ground was actually bubbling.
You have to know that at that time, almost no one in Russia drank beer, and vodka definitely would not have bubbles.

Lin Chen walked over with a serious look, squatted on the ground, sniffed it with his nose, and looked carefully.
"poisonous!"

Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale. If the wine was poisoned, it meant there were German spies in the church! How could this be tolerated?
Kirilenko's forehead was covered with sweat. Fortunately, he had not eaten or drunk anything.
Lin Chen saw a bag of bread next to it.
“Where did the stuff come from?”

"A guerrilla!"

"what is it call?"

"I don't know him, but he did come with us in the car."

"Not good, the spy is likely to run away and report the situation here to us."

Lin Chen took a step forward and started running outside, "Kirilenko, follow me. Sergey, guard this place. No one is allowed to approach!"

Sergei and the others could not help but frown, while Kirilenko rushed out with Lin Chen at the fastest speed.

When I came out, I saw Hanta coming in from outside.
"Why are you back?"

"Xhaka just told me to take a break. The young man is quite enthusiastic."

Hearing Hanta's words, Lin Chen felt something was wrong and asked Kirilenko to compare the appearance of the man named Zhaka with Hanta. It turned out to be the guy who brought food to Kirilenko.

Lin Chen led his men out and took a look, but there was no trace of Zaka outside.

The guerrilla who was on guard with him had a dagger stuck in his back and had already died.

"Zaka must be a spy! He is a spy planted by the Germans in your guerrillas! It has been so long, and you didn't even notice it?" Lin Chen was really angry. How could he be so unreliable? It would be fine if there was a spy, but the key point was that he ran away.

"This bastard must have tipped off the Germans. Damn, our few chances of winning are even less!"

Hanta was also stunned when he heard this. He finally understood why the team member who told him the news died. Maybe he was killed by Xhaka, that beast!

But it's too late to say anything now, the situation cannot be more serious.

"Go back to the meeting immediately, we are going to launch a sudden attack!" Lin Chen's tone was very stern this time.

In the church, Lin Chen talked about the current situation.

The guerrilla team members gnashed their teeth in hatred and cursed Zaka's ancestors.

But Lin Chen stopped everyone's meaningless scolding, and instead rushed to tell his own thoughts.

"After the traitor returns, the Germans here may not recognize him, and they still need to verify his identity. It is already midnight, and this is the most difficult time for the Germans. By the time they figure out the situation, it will probably be daybreak. So we must not delay any longer! We can take advantage of this time difference and launch an attack. Comrades, success or failure depends on this one move."

Lin Chen made an emergency battle mobilization with a firm look!
