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

Chapter 105: Contact with the Guerrillas
By the time Bode and his men left the town and, with the help of the local garrison, avoided the minefield and reached the west side of the town, there was no trace of Lin Chen and his men.

What annoyed him the most was that due to the continuous pursuit, the vehicle's fuel was running low, and the town's fuel reserves had long been exhausted, and the only remaining gasoline had been added to the tanks.

So he could only wait for the refueling vehicle.

During the waiting period, he allowed his subordinates to have a rare rest.

The pursuit war had reached this point, and he was really a little desperate. Why did the Soviet army escape the encirclement again and again?
"Colonel, there is only one surrendered Soviet soldier alive. The rest were all killed in the battle. The wounded also pulled a grenade and died together with our people." Bode's men were still a little frightened when they came to report.

Is this guy still a human being? How could he be so fearless and unafraid of death?
"Oh? Bring him here!" Bode was very curious about who his opponent was.
Xhaka had a thick bandage wrapped around his head at this time, with bloodstains clearly visible, looking extremely miserable.

However, he had no time to care about the severe pain of the wound at this moment. He raised his bloody right hand and tried to show the most flattering smile.

To tell the truth, as a senior SS officer, Bode looked down on the Russians from the bottom of his heart, not to mention this traitor who betrayed his motherland. If it were based on his personality, he would have asked his men to send him to a concentration camp without hesitation!
But reason told him no!

Because this person is the only one who knows the details of that Soviet squad.

So he tried his best to put on a hypocritical look and wanted to smile, but found that he really couldn't smile. As a last resort, he could only take out the exquisite cigarette box in his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.

Then he handed it over.

Zhaka had no reason to be disgusted. Instead, he felt that this was a sign of high recognition from the German colonel. So he hurried over, took the cigarette with a nod and took a big sip with the colonel's saliva.

He looks like he has gained the "precious" freedom and is enjoying it very much!

Bode really wanted to beat him up, but he was afraid of dirtying his hands, so he said impatiently, "Go ahead!"

Zaka immediately stood at attention and asked humbly, "Colonel, what do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know."

Bode waved his hand in disdain, meaning that he should stop flattering her. "I want to know everything about that Soviet squad!"

"Yes, Colonel," Zhaka cleared his throat and began to describe how he had infiltrated the guerrillas and tricked them into the village, vividly.
"Okay, okay, that's not what I want to know. I need to know the information about the small Soviet unit that just fought with our Imperial Army. Everything! Do you understand?" Bode simply couldn't imagine how there could be such a shameless person who betrayed his own country so vigorously and spoke so righteously?
"I'm sorry, this Soviet squad has five people in total. Their leader is a guy codenamed 'Ghost'. He is about 1.80 to 1.90 meters tall and very strong! He is proficient in all kinds of weapons. What surprised me most is that he can actually clear mines. He cleared all the booby traps that your army had set in the church."

"Wait a minute? You said he cleared it all by himself?" Bode was very surprised. If he was faced with a new environment full of booby traps, he might be able to clear one or two, but how long would it take to clear an entire church? What kind of amazing observation skills would he need? What kind of amazing psychological quality would he have?
"Yes, it's true. I was right behind them and saw it with my own eyes. He was very fast and accurate!" Zaka glanced at Bode carefully and continued to brag, "This man's shooting skills are extremely accurate. He can hit the intersection from the church. He is said to be a sharpshooter."

Bode frowned after hearing this, "He has a sniper rifle?"

"Sniper rifle? I don't think so." Zaka answered a little guiltily.

"His code name is 'Ghost'?" Bode was a little impatient, because without a sniper rifle, how could he shoot from one end of the church to the other? Over a thousand meters away, how could it be possible? This was almost the maximum distance of the 98K rifle. The shot would form an exaggerated parabola, and the influence of wind speed and air humidity must also be taken into account. It was simply impossible!

This damned Russian traitor is damned.

"Yes. Each of them has a code name. The two who escaped are called 'Grizzly'. He is tall and strong, even taller than their captain 'Ghost', but he obeys 'Ghost's orders. The other one is called 'Burst Fire'. The others are just a few guerrillas who escaped."

"What? Are you saying that we paid such a huge price to kill two of their members?" Bode was shocked.

"Also, there are more than a dozen guerrillas." Zaka said in a low voice.

snort!
Bode was dismissive. Could guerrillas be considered a serious threat?
It now seems that this Soviet squad has its own code name, clear division of labor, and particularly outstanding skills and tactics. It is definitely a major threat to the empire!

But he couldn't continue to ask the headquarters for reinforcements. If he couldn't even deal with three Soviet soldiers with so many people, he might as well go home and die!
"Has the fuel truck arrived? Tell them to hurry up. And you, have you rested enough? Get ready to set off!" Bode didn't want to stop for a moment. He wanted to chase them and completely eliminate Lin Chen and the others!
He had to solve the problem before the Battle of Kursk began. Only in this way would his military achievements not be lost and he would be promoted to the rank of imperial general as a matter of course.

Bode didn't know how big a blow it was to Lin Chen and the others that he "only killed two team members"!

Faced with the tragic deaths of their good brothers Lechi and Hanta, as well as the deaths of many guerrilla fighters, everyone was in a very bad mood.
This German-made VW-82 was Germany's most famous and widely used light command and reconnaissance vehicle during World War II.

Although it is a two-wheel drive model, its off-road performance is not weak at all. It is relatively light in weight, has outstanding fuel consumption, and is flexible to operate, easy to maintain, reliable and durable.

But at this moment, the VW-82 had already been overwhelmed. The right door had disappeared at some point, and thick white smoke was billowing from the engine compartment.

As the vehicle was moving slower and slower, Kirilenko had no choice but to ask everyone to get off.

Looking back, I saw that the back seat was covered with blood, some of which had already solidified and turned into black and red blood scabs. Lying on the seats were the bloody guerrilla brothers, who used their bodies to block the bullets shot from behind.

When they got off the car and lined up, Lin Chen, Kirilenko and Sergei all suffered minor injuries, but only two of the guerrillas survived. One of them was already on his deathbed, and kept calling for his mother. In everyone's helplessness, he left the world unwillingly.

The price of this breakout was too heavy.
Looking at the only remaining guerrilla fighter who looked quite young, Lin Chen really wanted him to survive.

"What's your name?"

The man turned around, his face full of tears, and said, "My name is Andre."

"Wipe those tears away! Remember, men, it's blood, not tears."

Andre immediately wiped away his tears with his hands.
"how old are you?"

"sixteen!"

"Do you have any relatives at home?"

"No, he is my brother, the only relative I have in this world. He held me in his arms and blocked the enemy's bullets. So..." Andre felt very uncomfortable, but he still held it back.

"Follow us from now on! We are your brothers!" Lin Chen touched Andre's head with pity.

"Give me the map!"

He looked at the map for a while, then compared it with the surrounding reference objects.

"It seems that Sumei is just ahead." Lin Chen looked solemn. This was an important logistics supply base of the German Southern Army Group, and the defenses must be very strict.

"We need to find a place to stay first."

"Captain, if you trust me, I know a guerrilla zone where we might be able to get help." Andre pointed to a location on the map.

"How many of them are there?"

"There are about two hundred people, which is the most powerful resistance force in this area." Lin Chen thought about it, and it seemed that there was really no better way. They at least needed to send Andre to the guerrilla zone, and then the three of them would wait for an opportunity to return.

In fact, he had thought about disguising himself as a German soldier and infiltrating Army Group South, but this was too difficult. Not to mention that his ID had been changed to that of a German SS lieutenant officer, and the photo was very different from his own.

And here your ID will definitely be checked, so it's impossible to be as lucky as I was this way.

"Captain, I actually never understood why we chose to go south instead of north? The German army is heavily armed here, while in the north, the defense is much weaker."

Kirilenko finally couldn't help asking.

"What we can think of, the Germans can also think of. Although there are many German troops here, their numbers are more complicated, and the war is imminent, so we have more opportunities. If we run to the north, the Germans can mobilize a large number of troops to encircle and suppress us without any scruples, and our chances of winning will be smaller."

Lin Chen took advantage of this opportunity to speak out what was in his mind, which helped to unify their thoughts and understanding.

Sure enough, Kirilenko and Sergei only finally understood the purpose of going south at this moment.

The four of them had not walked far when they saw a military vehicle coming towards them?
They went all the way south and there were almost no vehicles on the road. Lin Chen guessed that it was because the war was imminent and all the vehicles and mules and horses had been requisitioned to the front line.

Lin Chen, Sergei and others discussed it and immediately asked Andre to raise his hand.

The scene of three German soldiers capturing a guerrilla fighter was thus staged.

"Why are you three so embarrassed?"

“Are the guerrillas so difficult to deal with?”

There was actually a lieutenant officer in the military vehicle. Upon seeing this, he immediately stopped the vehicle and asked questions in a mocking manner.

Lin Chen glanced at the compartment at the back of the truck and it seemed that there were not many German troops.

"We were ordered to pursue a Soviet squad. After going through untold hardships, we finally captured this person alive." Lin Chen immediately began to perform.

The lieutenant had no suspicion, as this situation was indeed quite common in the rear.

However, he saw that Lin Chen was an SS officer and of the same rank as himself, so he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

"Your 2nd SS Panzer Corps is the main force of the attack and will soon begin the general offensive. What are you still dawdling for?"

Lin Chen was shocked when he heard this. Are they going to attack so soon? Although the German army's attack time was not announced to the front-line troops until the last 12 hours before the war, some well-informed officers could still roughly judge the time.

"Yes, we are heading to the assembly point Belgorod. Hopefully we can still make it in time for this feast." Lin Chen could only say casually.

"This place is very far from Belgorod, but Sumy is just ahead. You can take our car to Courtois first. There is a new batch of spare gasoline there."

The lieutenant has a good conscience.

"That's great!" Lin Chen winked at Sergei and escorted Andrei to the back.

"We don't want the prisoners anymore. They would be a burden if they were brought along!" The lieutenant seemed reluctant to let the prisoners ride in his military vehicle.

After getting Sergei's secret signal, Lin Chen understood that they could definitely deal with the German troops behind them.

So he immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at the lieutenant and the driver in front of him.

"Are you crazy? I let you ride in my car with good intentions, but you pointed a gun at me? I'm going to complain to you!" the lieutenant was furious.

"Come down, we need your vehicles for an emergency mission!"

Sergei and Kirilenko don't understand, so why waste time talking? Wouldn't it be simpler to just collapse?
But since the captain asked them to get off, he could only use his gun to signal the three panicked German soldiers in the back car to get off.

Although the German lieutenant was very dissatisfied, he still surrendered under the threat of Lin Chen's gun.

He decided to find the superior of this corrupt SS lieutenant to ask for an explanation!
Unexpectedly, as soon as they got off the car, Lin Chen's submachine gun fired.
Naturally, there was no reason for Sergei and others to show mercy.

Three bullets took care of them.

"Drag the bodies to the side of the road and hide them, and make sure there are no survivors," Lin Chen ordered as he checked.

After hiding, Lin Chen quickly started the car, turned around and drove towards the area Andre mentioned.

The main reason why we asked them to get off the car was that we were afraid that the vehicle would be damaged. If there was blood on the car, it would be troublesome if they were interrogated by the German army on the road.

As we entered the vicinity of the city of Sumy, there were noticeably more horse-drawn carriages and trucks on the road, and many German infantrymen on the roadside asked for a ride.

They also encountered several groups of Wehrmacht infantrymen, who waved their hands and wanted to hitchhike, but Lin Chen rejected them with a serious face.
When the other party saw that he was an SS officer, they could only leave in embarrassment. However, after the vehicle passed by, they immediately started to curse him with the most vicious words.

Lin Chen and the others just smiled faintly. He turned back to look at Andre's expectant eyes.

"Captain, turn right at the intersection ahead and go straight to the end, and you will reach the guerrilla zone's liaison station!"

Andre shouted excitedly.

It has to be said that the contact station chosen by the guerrillas was very secretive. If Andre hadn't led the way, it would have been difficult for them to find it.

Although the other party was very disgusted when they saw Lin Chen and others wearing SS uniforms, Andre and the others all recognized that this was a poor child!
"You kid, why did you only come back now after following Hanta and the others? Your other little brother has been talking about you the whole time."

"Uncle Lennon, Hanta and his men were ambushed, and Zhaka is a traitor! I survived because of my brother's desperate protection, and their three brothers were all Red Army soldiers! They killed many German soldiers."

Uncle Lennon was very sorry for Hanta's sacrifice, and then he hated Xhaka's betrayal.
"This bastard, I've known for a long time that something was wrong with this kid. At that time, I just thought that he might want to run away because he couldn't bear the hardship, but I didn't expect that he would betray us!" His eyes softened as he looked at Lin Chen and others.

"Thank you for saving Andre!"

"It's nothing. We are all brothers on the battlefield. There is no need to save anyone. Andre is very brave. Of course, his brother is also a hero!" Lin Chen was not being polite when he said this. He saw the two brothers fighting bloody battles with his own eyes.
