  Chapter 1944 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas and Orioles Behind (Part 2)

   During the chat, Katerina got a lot of what she wanted to know from the sergeant's mouth.

   Seeing that the car had entered the city and successfully passed a checkpoint, she quickly called out: "Stop!"

  The sergeant said with some puzzlement: "Girl, we haven't reached Shevchenko Street yet."

   "Comrade Commander," Katerina said to the sergeant with a smile, "I suddenly remembered that there is still something to be done, so let's get off here."

  Since Katerina was going to get off the car here, the sergeant couldn't say anything more, so he quickly ordered the driver to stop and put Katerina down.

  After Katerina got off the car, she waved her hand to the sergeant and said, "Comrade commander, thank you for sending me into the city. We will meet later, goodbye!"

  Looking at Katerina's back disappearing into an alley, the sergeant still felt a little regretful, thinking that he should leave the other party's contact address, so that he could go to her when he was on vacation. But everyone left, and it was useless to think about it. He quickly ordered the driver to drive back to the station to pick up heavy weapons.

   Waiting for the sergeant to retrieve the rocket, the next battle becomes easier. No matter how strong the log house was, it couldn't withstand the rocket attack, and a big gap was blown open in two blows.

  The German soldiers in the house felt that they could no longer hold on, so they all escaped from the house one after another, preparing to flee deeper into the forest. But with Lyudmila and Vasily, the two great snipers, they were shot to death within a dozen steps.

   Seeing that all the Germans had been wiped out, Koshkin ordered people to go up to count the number of Germans, and found that there were nine of them. Except for one who was killed by a rocket launcher and one who was shot to death in the house, the remaining seven were all killed by Lyudmila and Vasily.

Koshkin also felt relieved that the German airborne unit was wiped out so easily. He said to Lyudmila and Vasily: "Since all the enemies that sneaked around the city have been wiped out, let's go back to the headquarters." Report to Comrade Commander."

   Just as Koshkin returned to the city with his people, Sokov received a letter from the Front Army Command. When I opened it, I found a woman's resume inside, with a picture of the woman on it.

After reading the above content, Sokov handed his resume to Trofimenko, and said: "Comrade Deputy Commander, this is a document just sent by the Front Army Command. The woman on the document belongs to the German Army." A sniper, according to reliable information, she came to Otac with an airborne team. And her sniper targets are all our commanders here."

Trofimenko couldn't help frowning after reading the resume of the female sniper, he looked at Sokov and said, "Comrade Commander, you should immediately send someone to search in the city to find her. "

"It's useless." As for Trofimenko's proposal, Sokov waved his hand and rejected: "We don't know where she is hiding. If there is too much movement, she may find a place to hide. We It’s even more impossible to find her. At that time, we will plant a bomb around us that we don’t know when it will explode, and it will pose a threat to us at any time.”

Seeing that Sokov was unwilling to conduct a city-wide raid, Trofimenko became a little anxious: "Comrade Commander, even if we don't organize a city-wide raid, she will still attack us. Should we just wait like this?" Come on, do nothing?"

"It's not like doing nothing." Seeing Trofimenko's anxious expression, Sokov comforted him and said, "I have asked Captain Koshkin to transfer a guard company to cooperate with the sniper school to conduct a secret search. .”

   "Secret search?!" Trofimenko was confused by Sokov's words: "Comrade Commander, what do you mean by that? It confuses me."

"Comrade Deputy Commander, you don't know something." Sokov explained to Trofimenko: "Actually, Vasily discovered a problem in an attic 300 meters away from the headquarters yesterday, and took people to search it. Yes. Although no one was caught, some useful clues were found."

  Sokov's words aroused everyone's curiosity, and Smirnov even urged: "Comrade Commander, tell me, what's going on?"

Sokov told everyone how Vasily discovered that there was a problem with the attic, and how he led people to search, but no one was found, and finally said: "Everyone knows that Captain Koshkin is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yes, he can be regarded as a professional in how to find out the enemies hidden in the city. Just wait, I believe, it won’t be long before he can surprise us.”

  Although Sokov had already said this, Trofimenko was still worried. He asked anxiously, "Where is Captain Koshkin? I want to ask how their secret search is going."

  In order to reassure Trofimenko, Sokov called a staff officer and told him, "Go and find Captain Koshkin and tell him that I have something important to ask him."

  Not long after the staff went out, he returned to the room and reported to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, Captain Koshkin is not here. He took the troops out."

   "Going out?" Sokov asked with some surprise, "Where did he go?"

   "I asked the deputy battalion commander of the guard battalion. He said that Captain Koshkin had received news that a German airborne team had been found in the forest outside the city. He took people to the forest."

   "What's the situation now?" Trofimenko asked anxiously, "Have you found the German airborne team?"

"It should have been found." The staff officer replied: "A sergeant who was traveling with Captain Koshkin came back and took away three rocket launchers. He said that the Germans were hiding in the forest watchman's hut and had no heavy weapons. There is no way to eliminate them."

"Comrade Commander," Trofimenko's expression became relaxed when he learned that Koshkin had led people to encircle and suppress the German airborne team: "Captain Koshkin is really great. In such a short period of time, The German airborne team was discovered. I believe it will not be long before we hear good news."

   "Comrade Staff Officer," Sokov said to the staff officer: "Go and tell the Deputy Battalion Commander of the Guard Battalion that whenever Captain Koshkin returns, let him come to me immediately."

  After the staff officer left, Trofimenko smiled and said to everyone: "I really didn't expect that Koshkin is quite capable. He found the hiding place of the German airborne team in such a short period of time."

  Although Sokov felt that Koshkin found the hiding place of the German airborne team a little faster, but when he thought of the assistance of Lyudmila and Vasily, he felt that it was a matter of course. He didn't want the credit of Lyudmila and Vasily to be buried, so he said: "This time I specially arranged for Lyudmila and Vasily to assist Koshkin. I think that in such a short period of time, Both of them deserved a lot of credit for finding the hideout of the German airborne team."

   "It makes sense, it makes sense." Trofimenko nodded repeatedly and said, "According to Comrade Commander, Vasily discovered the location where the German snipers were hiding yesterday..."

"Wait a minute," Sukov heard this, and suddenly a strange thought flashed through his mind. He wanted to catch it but failed, so he could only interrupt Trofimenko's words: "Deputy Commander Comrade, I seem to feel that something is wrong."

   "What's wrong?" Trofimenko asked rhetorically.

   "Think about it, if the purpose of the German female sniper coming to Otatz is to kill us, then the members of the airborne team should stay in the city, why hide in the forest outside the city?"

"Comrade Commander, here's how I think about it," Sameko interjected, "If the entire airborne team is in the city, the target will be huge, and the possibility of exposure will increase accordingly. So, I think there must be only women The sniper stayed alone in the city, while the other members of the airborne team stayed in the forest outside the city, so that it would be easier for the female sniper to evacuate here after she completed her mission."

   Everyone was talking, but saw the staff officer running in from outside again, with a smile on his face. Seeing his expression, Sokov knew that there must be something good, so he asked, "Comrade Staff, you smile so happily, did something good happen?"

   "Comrade Commander, Captain Koshkin is back!" The staff officer said excitedly: "By the way, they have successfully wiped out the German airborne team, and they came back specially to report to you."

   "Where is he?"

   "He's walking towards here, and he will enter the house soon."
