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

Chapter 9 Investigation and Counterinvestigation
Upon hearing Schumann's order, the adjutant immediately got on his BMW three-wheeled motorcycle and went to report to the rear.

The remaining officers also breathed a sigh of relief.

The lieutenant officer in the previous wave of attack must have been in great danger, and the remaining two lieutenants were also in fear. They were all transferred from various fronts, and they were not very familiar with each other, but they were somewhat familiar with each other. The first wave of more than 70 people were wiped out without even a wave, so how could their men dare to move forward rashly?

"Jingke, come here," he beckoned to a major officer, "Pick a few smart ones and find a way to get closer and investigate to see how many people are inside. It's ridiculous that we've been fighting for so long and still don't know what's going on inside!"

******
Lin Chen achieved brilliant results here and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy.

According to the post-war count, among those killed there were one lieutenant, two second lieutenants, and several non-commissioned officers. Most of them entered later and were then surrounded and killed by Lin Chen.

A large number of weapons and ammunition were seized, including two additional MG34 machine guns.

But there were also many casualties on their side. Several members of the combat team died heroically in the battle, and many were injured. The minor injuries were simply bandaged and treated with medicine and bandages, while the seriously injured could only leave it to fate.

The interrogation just now let Pavlov and Lin Chen know the enemy's background. The enemy situation is indeed serious, but the enemy just doesn't know the specific situation here. Once they know, they will launch crazy waves of attacks without hesitation, and they will definitely not be able to withstand it.

"We have to find a way to create some illusion and make them think we are very powerful! This way we can buy as much time as possible." Lin Chen suddenly suggested to Pavlov.

Gink was a Junker nobleman. As he came from a military family, when the Wehrmacht was recruiting soldiers, he was directly recommended to the army as a second lieutenant. He performed very well in the Battle of Poland and the Battle of France and was promoted repeatedly.

After the Barbarossa Operation began, he shined in the Battle of Kiev. At the age of 26, he was promoted to the rank of major and became a battalion commander of the Wehrmacht.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this outstanding young officer will soon be appointed as deputy commander of other main forces, or commander of a second-line force, and he has a bright future.

This time when the whole regiment came to Stalingrad, Schumann brought Gink with him. His purpose was very clear, which was to entrust him with important tasks and to help him get any opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

Jingke naturally reciprocated the favor. After receiving the order, he quickly dispatched personnel.

The 71st Division is an elite field division of the German Army. It has always put the honor of soldiers first. Therefore, when recruiting personnel, many backbone members volunteered to sign up!
Only if you have military merits can you have the opportunity to be promoted!
Jingke personally selected two veterans, brought three pairs of binoculars, and conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the building in three directions.

The veteran was very experienced. Instead of wearing his own uniform, he put on the uniform of the fallen Soviet soldier, and then used the ruins to slowly approach.

Jingke naturally followed suit. Although his progress was slow, he was indeed difficult to be discovered by the Soviet army because the Soviet army's khaki clothes obviously served as a protective color in the ruins, which was much more useful than the German army's dark uniforms.

Schumann showed a satisfied smile, he was indeed the elite of the empire!
The three of them investigated for a long time and finally returned along the same route.

The information obtained from the reconnaissance was consistent, that is, there were a lot of Soviet troops inside, at least two companies of troops, and even several hidden anti-tank guns, but the specific models were unknown.

Schumann felt relieved after hearing this. No wonder his attack force was blocked. It turned out that the enemy was so powerful?

He immediately ordered the assault gun to continue to retreat, making sure it was out of the range of anti-tank fire. The commander of the assault gun was also shocked when he learned that the enemy had anti-tank guns, and immediately executed the retreat order without hesitation.

Of course, Lin Chen and Pavlov do not have such strong power.

虽然巴甫洛夫他们是隶属于苏军精锐近卫第13步兵师，这支英雄的部队是1941年11月在空降兵第3军所属部队基础上于库尔斯克州组建，刚开始的番号为步兵第87师。编有步兵第16、第96、第283团，炮兵第197团和其他直属部队。

Because the officers and soldiers of the division fought bravely and performed outstandingly in the fierce blocking battle against the German army in the Voronezh direction, it was renamed the 1942th Guards Infantry Division in January 1.

1942年9月划归斯大林格勒方面军(1943年1月1日起，为顿河方面军)第62集团军，参加斯大林格勒保卫战。

Sergeant Pavlov and others belonged to the 42nd Guards Infantry Regiment (formerly the 283rd Regiment).

Now, let alone reinforcements from the 13th Guards Division, there is not even a single bit of support from the 42nd Regiment.

They now have only a dozen combatants at most, and their only heavy firepower is two anti-tank rifles that they cheated and three MG2 machine guns. The key is that they don't have many bullets.

As for what Jingke and others had detected, they were all Soviet civilians impersonated by Lin Chen. They put on the clothes of sacrificed Soviet soldiers, put children and women in the middle of the team, and frequently moved people up and down the stairs, creating the illusion of many people.

For the anti-tank guns, Lin Chen found a civilian carpenter who used the round legs of a table painted with ink and combined his memory of the anti-tank guns to roughly make the shape of the gun barrels.

As for the rear wheels and the main part of the gun carriage, they covered them with other rags, giving people the feeling that the Soviet army secretly hid the anti-tank gun in the dark.

Because there was a lot of noise in the building and some soldiers were chatting loudly, Jingke and others did not dare to get too close.

One German veteran was worried that the reconnaissance was wrong and wanted to get closer to get a clearer look, but when he moved a little closer to the building, he was seen by "Bread".

As Lin Chen repeatedly ordered, the other party must not be allowed to discover the actual situation here, and they must not open fire.

So he suddenly had an idea, he loosened his belt and went to the bathroom on the balcony on the second floor. When the German veteran reconnaissance soldier saw this situation, he dared not move.
Later, he saw "Mianbao" calling "Clockwork" over, and the two of them smoked a cigarette on the balcony, so he could only leave in disappointment.

Brought back similar "accurate" intelligence as the other two.

But even so, the German reinforcements were much faster.

After learning of Schumann's request for help, Hartmann was shocked. He felt that he had underestimated the Soviet resistance, especially that none of the 70-man attacking force survived. Sweat began to stream down his forehead.

This battle-hardened Imperial Major General clearly felt the seriousness of the problem, and after repeated consideration, he decided to withdraw two 88mm anti-aircraft guns from the artillery regiment. Not only that, he also transferred two companies of troops from other places to reinforce Schumann.
