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

Chapter 98 Begin to Escape
Lin Chen first imitated Roland's handwriting and "issued" a special pass, then began to carefully examine the documents stolen from Roland's safe.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was really shocked when I saw it.

He originally thought that he had obtained the offensive deployment of the Ninth Army, which was considered perfect. However, he did not expect that these letters were actually handwritten letters from a list of Soviet generals who were instigated by the German army to defect. The words were full of flattery, which gave Lin Chen goose bumps.

"traitor!"

He couldn't help but spit. These letters must be taken back. They were irrefutable evidence that could help the Soviet army clean out the internal pests!
The other documents mainly contain Roland's experience in intelligence work and the intelligence work to be carried out in the next step.

"Woo~~~~~~"

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the defense zone.

Lin Chen suddenly had a bad feeling. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and it was unlikely that he would discover that the safe had been stolen.

But Lin Chen’s sixth sense has always been very accurate, and he felt that it was very likely that the safe had been discovered!

"Grizzly! Hurry!" After being together for so long, everyone has developed a very good understanding of each other.

They are all grown men and have very little to bring with them.

Five men came out fully armed. There were garrison troops running around all around them, and no one paid any attention to them.

As soon as Lin Chen went out, he saw a military truck not far away. He opened the iron door of the cab, then skillfully took out a few wires from underneath, connected them and started the car.

Sergei and others had already jumped on the truck and rushed to the nearest checkpoint.

A guard stopped the driver at the checkpoint, but when he saw that Lin Chen was holding a blue special pass and opened it, he saw that it did have Colonel Roland's signature, so he immediately returned it and gave a very standard military salute.

"What happened?" Lin Chen pretended to be confused.

"Mr. Lieutenant, we haven't received any notification yet, so we don't know the details."

"Oh, it's a pity that I have urgent official business, otherwise I really want to know what this is for." Lin Chen smiled slightly and drove past the first checkpoint.

After passing two checkpoints in this way, they arrived at the last outer outpost. The defense here was the most stringent, with two machine guns on each side and a full platoon of guards. It would be impossible to charge in head-on.

When the sergeant who came out stopped Lin Chen's car, he shouted, "Get out of the car and check it out. The headquarters has an order, everyone get out!"

Lin Chen handed over the special pass in his hand, "Sergeant, please pay attention, I have this!"

When the other party saw that it was a special pass, he obviously did not dare to be careless. He took it and took a look, and found that it was indeed real.

As for Roland's handwriting above, they were all ordinary soldiers. How could they be qualified to see the handwriting of a colonel on a regular basis? Moreover, special passes were issued very rarely, and not many people had seen them normally. He had been the sentry chief here for a long time, so he was able to tell the authenticity of the documents.

"Mr. Lieutenant, logically we should let you go, but the headquarters just called and said that important documents were stolen, and we must check every car and every person." The sergeant handed back his ID and said with embarrassment.

"To tell you the truth, I was ordered by Colonel Roland to track down the stolen items! If the enemy escapes, you will be held fully responsible!" Lin Chen was now extremely anxious. It was indeed about the safe. Didn't Nightingale say that he would be back tomorrow morning? What a scam!

Facing the aggressive Lin Chen, the sergeant was in a dilemma.

Damn, the orders from above are all contradictory. I asked for a check over the phone, but these special passes are for emergency official duties and must be released unconditionally.

"Lieutenant, let me make a phone call to confirm. It won't take much of your time." He thought about it and decided to go and verify it. If there was something wrong with him, he would be in trouble!

"Well, you'll be responsible if anything goes wrong!" Lin Chen's tone was very stern, but when he saw the sergeant jogging back to the booth and picking up the phone, his heart was already in his throat, including Lechi who was steering the wheel. If the other party looked carefully, he would have noticed that the sweat in his palms had actually begun to flow down the steering wheel.

Sergei and the other two soldiers behind had already clenched their weapons tightly. As long as Lin Chen gave the order, they would definitely fight.

Although the enemy is strong and we are weak, we will never sit idly by and wait for death.

After a long time on the phone, someone finally answered. Lin Chen's heart tightened. His attention was on the face of the sergeant in the sentry box. As long as he shouted, he would have to force his way in, although this was the worst option.

Not to mention whether or not we can break through the blockade of the two machines. Now, right in front of the obstacle, there are barbed wire and railings lying there. Without the acceleration of inertia, we can't get through at all!

This is almost a dead end.

“Click—click”

Hearing the sound of Sergei pulling the bolt from behind, Lin Chen looked back and shook his head slightly. The more it was at this time, the more he had to stay calm!
The sergeant looked hesitant, but finally walked quickly towards Lin Chen.

Seeing the sergeant's submachine gun still on his back, Lin Chen couldn't believe his eyes. Did Roland agree to let him go? This didn't make sense.

"Second Lieutenant, I called and another officer answered. They said Colonel Roland was called out by the chief of staff and it's not known when he'll be back. What do you think?" The sergeant's eyes were obviously evasive. He also felt that this request was a bit excessive.

"Asshole! The colonel won't come back in an hour, do you want me to wait for an hour? The enemy has already left Oryol. Forget it, let's turn around and let their guards chase them themselves!" Lin Chen decided to take a gamble and angrily ordered Lechi to turn around.

The sergeant was also panicked when he saw this. If he made a big mistake, he would definitely be brought to a military court!

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and ordered his men to remove the obstacles.
"Lieutenant, go ahead! I believe in your loyalty!"

"Oh, you've wasted so much of my time. I don't know if I'm still in time! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!" Lin Chen hit the stunned Lieqi's head hard with his leather gloves.

Only then did he wake up from his dream, and quickly stepped on the accelerator, and the military vehicle rushed out as fast as a cheetah.

"These bureaucrats! They really bully us honest people. I hope he can complete the task assigned by Colonel Roland." The sergeant was still praying for Lin Chen and the others.

In fact, Roland really couldn't be blamed this time. He was supposed to attend the meeting, but when the car arrived at the army group headquarters, he was told that the top leaders of the Central Army Group had gone to meet the leader, and the meeting was postponed to the next day.

So Roland and the others returned again. He had always had the habit of checking the office when he came back. After opening the safe, he was dumbfounded. All the important documents inside were missing. What frightened him the most was that the special pass was also missing.

How could this be allowed? If the enemy got hold of this book, they could freely enter and leave the defense zone, which would cause a huge mess.

But he still had hope that the enemy had not left so soon, so when he notified the garrison, he concealed the matter of the special pass. After receiving the notification, the garrison immediately sounded the alarm and implemented martial law, but did not emphasize the personnel and vehicles holding special passes.

By the time the sentry called, the incident had already alarmed Commander Model, who called Roland over and gave him a severe scolding.

Therefore, because they did not receive this call, Lin Chen and others were lucky enough to escape successfully.

When Roland returned to the office, the officer in charge of investigating the scene happened to be out for something. When he came back and told Roland about it, 20 minutes had passed. Roland was stunned when he heard it.

He knew that truth would come to light eventually and he had to report it truthfully, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

At this moment, Lin Chen was constantly urging Lieqi to speed up. Lieqi had almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The engine of the military vehicle roared like a beast and ran wildly on the bumpy road.

They must rush to the reserved location of the radio station as soon as possible to get the radio out, and they don't have much time left.

Sergei and others suggested whether they could use special passes to cross the border, but this suggestion was rejected by Lin Chen.

The fastest drive from here to the border is about three hours. No matter how stupid the German army is, they will react and will certainly conduct strict inspections at the nearest border. If you drive over rashly, you will be walking into a trap.

So the best thing to do is to take out the radio first, then send out the most important information, and then figure out what to do next.

As it was dark and it started to rain, we had to slow down. Fortunately, there were no setbacks along the way and we arrived at the place where the radio was buried relatively smoothly.

Several people worked together to dig out the military radio that was wrapped tightly in a raincoat.

Then Lin Chen quickly contacted the General Staff Headquarters.

Lin Chen's hands were extremely fast. He sent the possible date of launching the "Fortress" operation, the equipment of Tiger tanks and Ferdinand "Elephant" tank destroyers, and the troop locations of the Ninth Army as quickly as possible. He especially emphasized that the German SS 2nd Panzer Corps would be deployed in the south and had extremely strong combat power.

The other party called back: Thank you for your hard work! According to the investigation, the border inspection has become much stricter. The original pick-up plan may not succeed. Please find a way to come back on your own. The Soviet people are looking forward to the hero's triumphant return!
Lin Chen was stunned when he translated this line of the telegram.

How can we get back home in the enemy's rear where German troops are concentrated and there is no Soviet support?

After Sergei and the others heard the news, they immediately looked determined, "Ghost, let's fight! If we can kill one, we'll break even. If we kill two, we'll make a profit!"

"Bullshit! I didn't bring you out here to let you die! As long as you use your brain, there are always more solutions than problems!" Lin Chen tried his best to stop Sergei and others' reckless plan and sent a telegram to the General Staff Headquarters.
"We will find a way ourselves and we will definitely come back!" Then he ordered the radio station to be destroyed.

"What are you still standing there for? We have to rely on ourselves to escape from now on. Do we still want to carry this burden?"

He kicked Sergei in annoyance, and Sergei suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly solved the only way of communicating with the rear and then buried it back.

Get in the car again, everyone.

"Ghost, we're running low on oil!" Lech suddenly saw that the mark on the fuel gauge was very low. He couldn't see it clearly in the dark just now (the fuel gauge didn't have a backlight at that time).

“How much more can you open?”

"It can probably still go 30 kilometers, maybe less." It was also the first time for Lech to drive a German military truck, but this truck was not fuel-efficient, so he could only roughly estimate its remaining mileage.

"How about this, we go west first and see if there are any fuel depots along the way to see if we can find a way to refuel. If there are, we will go north and find a place where the enemy's forces are relatively weak."

"What if there is no fuel supply?" Lech asked gloomily. Without trucks, they would not be able to run too far and would easily fall into the encirclement of the German army.

"If we don't have supplies, we have to rely on our legs. We are a special operations team. Can we not win the battle without a truck?" Lin Chen didn't care too much about it. When he was a special forces soldier in his previous life, didn't he encounter fewer dangers? As long as he didn't give up, there was still a way.

After all, the German army's full attention is now focused on the upcoming "Fortress" operation, and it is unlikely that they will put a lot of effort into targeting themselves.

But this time, the goddess of luck was obviously not on Lin Chen's side. After driving more than 20 kilometers, the truck stalled as expected.

Everyone had no choice but to abandon their cars and move on.

The rain was getting noticeably heavier, and worst of all, they seemed to be lost.

"We have to find a place to hide from the rain while we figure out where we are."

Lin Chen looked at the increasingly muddy road in front of them. They had to find a place to stay, otherwise it would be too exhausting and would be extremely disadvantageous if they encountered an enemy.

After walking forward for a long time, I finally saw a farm, but it was pitch black inside and I didn't know if there was anyone there.

Several people walked over and knocked on the door, but there seemed to be no movement from inside.

Lin Chen and his men did not dare to speak in German or Russian. If they spoke in German, they would be doomed if the civilians inside had weapons. If they spoke in Russian, what if there were German troops stationed inside?
I knocked for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
Just when everyone decided to break in, Lin Chen, who had excellent hearing, heard the sound of someone walking in the house.

So he signaled everyone to stop making noise and knocked on the door again.

The door slowly opened a crack.

Inside were a pair of frightened old woman's eyes.

She was very scared when she saw Lin Chen and the others dressed like German soldiers.
In the early stages of the war, the German army's discipline was still acceptable, but with a series of disastrous defeats such as the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army's situation deteriorated and the requirements for military discipline became less strict.

Therefore, the Soviet people hated and feared the German army.

"Old man, can you let us in to shelter from the rain?" Seeing the suffering people like these, Lin Chen decided to ask in Russian.

He had already made a plan. If there were really German troops stationed there, he would use the excuse of the "German Special Operations Team" to fool them, and only take action if that didn't work.

Sure enough, after hearing the fluent Russian, the old woman showed a very surprised expression. She really didn't understand why the German soldiers in front of her could speak Russian so well.
