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

Chapter 88 Free Labor

From the lieutenant, Lin Chen got most of what he wanted to know. Except for the exact time of the German attack and the deployment of those heavy armored units, he basically told him everything, even including the password of the day and the basic situation of the surrounding German troops.

Lin Chen kept his promise and killed him with a dagger.

"Pack your things and leave immediately, head to Oryol Station. It's not safe here."

"Where are Hedgehog (Hanta) and the others? Aren't we going to look for them?" Sergei was a little doubtful. If they were separated from the main force in the rear, the probability of survival would be very low.

"He is an old soldier and knows how to protect himself. As for the others, I believe they are also excellent Red Army soldiers." Lin Chen said these words without much confidence, but the instructor in his previous life had taught him that when the enemy situation is complicated, indecision is the most dangerous thing, and he must be decisive!

After simply cleaning up the scene, the group of six marched in neat steps towards the next target.

It soon became daybreak, and Lin Chen asked everyone to march openly on the road, which really made Sergei and others break out in cold sweats.

The Soviet soldiers marched in a dignified manner on the roads in the German-occupied area. When they encountered German motorcycles, Lin Chen greeted them in German and told dirty jokes, which made them very amused.

A senior exempt soldier riding in the carriage even brought down two cans of beef, which will probably be something everyone will brag about for the rest of their lives when they return.

But walking is too slow. It will take a long time to get there.

Suddenly, a convoy came from behind. There were eight trucks in total, and in the middle there was even a BMW sedan covered in mud.

And looking at their logo, it turned out to be the SS.

"Ghost, don't stop the car this time!" Sergei was really afraid of the captain's boldness. Was he trying to commit suicide?
Suddenly, the car stopped as it passed by them.

Everyone suddenly felt something was wrong. Sergei even nervously put his hand on the MG34 machine gun, ready to fight if something went wrong. Although it was of no use, the other side had more people and more power. If they fought hard, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

"Which unit are you from? Why are you walking on the road?" After the car window was rolled down, a bespectacled German lieutenant colonel (first-class assault team leader) asked Lin Chen with dissatisfaction.

On the left side of his collar badge was a four-pointed star with a vertical bar, and on the right side was the exclusive symbol of the Imperial Division.

Lin Chen immediately turned around, stood at attention, and saluted with a standard German Wehrmacht salute.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we have been ordered to advance towards the Ninth Army's defense zone."

In fact, Lin Chen was very panicked. If the other party asked for his transfer order, he would not be able to produce it at all.

Fortunately, the SS had always been arrogant and at odds with the Wehrmacht, and he did not expect the Soviets to be so bold, so he did not bother to read his transfer order.

"Which unit are you from?"

Lin Chen quickly reported the number he had prepared, silently saying to himself, I hope I don’t recognize him.

Fortunately, the colonel in front of him didn't know the Second Army, which was responsible for defense and feint attack.

"General Model is really too cautious. So many elite troops have been transferred to his command. Why do we need to draw them from the Second Army? It's a bit too much!" The lieutenant colonel had a look of disdain on his face. It seemed that he did not recognize the future "master of defense" Marshal Model.

"Get in the car behind us and follow me. I am Fink, deputy commander of the 2nd Armored Corps of the 2nd Imperial Division under the nd Armored Army. I am on my way to my defense zone. Now you must obey my orders!"

Lin Chen's heart tightened. Following the SS? The SS was the most powerful elite unit in the German army. Would he be exposed? "Colonel, but my transfer order..."

Fink said with disdain, "Use your transfer order to clean up your mess. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility!"

"Yes! Obey!"

Lin Chen had no capital to disobey orders, so he could only ask his brothers behind him to find a relatively empty truck and get on it.

Since Lin Chen was a second lieutenant, the SS soldiers in the truck were a little more polite and let him sit in the inner part of the truck. However, Sergei and others were not treated so well and all stayed in the back and most bumpy position of the truck.

The troops of the Imperial Division were indeed elite, and their murderous aura frightened Lech and others into silence. Compared with the Wehrmacht, their equipment was better and their uniforms were better looking.

Especially their collar badges and helmets have very distinctive logos.

After Lin Chen and others got on the car, they basically didn't speak a word.

We drove for a long while anxiously, when suddenly the truck braked suddenly. Due to inertia, everyone almost fell down.

Through the tiny gap in the truck's tarpaulin, I saw that there was a checkpoint ahead.

Since he was sitting relatively close to the front, he heard roughly what was happening. The general idea was that Soviet paratroopers had been spotted. According to the headquarters' order, all vehicles along the way were to be checked and any suspicious persons searched for.

"Asshole, we are the SS! We need a search too? Are you questioning our loyalty to the leader?" Fink was furious.

The other party was just a lieutenant officer. How could he withstand the pressure from a mid-level SS officer? He was so scared that he took a step back on the spot.

"We are just making a feint here. If you must check, I will turn around now. You will be fully responsible if anything goes wrong!" Fink's words did not give them any face at all.

"Well, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, please go ahead. We trust you." The lieutenant wiped the sweat from his forehead and could only order his men to let him go.

The SS sergeant opposite Lin Chen in the carriage couldn't help but sneer, "You Wehrmacht are too weak, we are the steel backbone in the battle!"

Lin Chen could only smile awkwardly. He could actually understand Fink's toughness just now. If people found out that there were Wehrmacht soldiers in his car, it would not be good for his reputation if this got out.

And through their conversation, Lin Chen heard that the German army had discovered their traces. He just didn't know what had happened to Hanta and the others. He hoped that good luck would come to them.

After driving for a while, they finally arrived at their destination, which turned out to be a very simple defense zone. The soldiers inside and the troops brought by Fink did not look like an elite regiment of an imperial division.

Is it that only part of them came?

And what about tanks? It's unlikely that an armored regiment doesn't have tanks, right?

Lin Chen had a series of questions, he even fantasized about seeing the legendary Tiger tank, which was said to be one of the most powerful tanks during World War II!
"What are you thinking about? Take your men and get to work! Dig trenches here and there!" An SS squad leader came over, followed by several soldiers carrying large bags of tools.

Following the direction he pointed, Lin Chen saw many officers and soldiers from other non-SS troops who were helping them build fortifications.

Fuck, now he finally understood that the other party was treating him as free labor!
