Chapter 2622 Lead the way
There is a question that Malashenko has been thinking about since just now.
Well, why did this young German soldier hide his regimental commander? Yes, it is true that he said he wanted his regimental commander to get medical help and survive.
But what about other reasons? Why else?
Do you think the Red Army will directly kill his seriously injured regiment leader? Or is it that he wants to explain the situation first, prove his leader's worth and get assurance before he is willing to tell where the person is?
Malashenko didn't know the specific reason, but he didn't plan to ask now.
As the first battle against the main urban area of Berlin, although it was small in scale and only a regiment-level battle, compared to the leading division that specialized in fighting big and tough battles, such a battle was a "warm-up exercise" that would break the sky.
However, Malashenko was more interested in the captured first senior German commander in charge of city defense.
Although this "senior" is a bit reluctant and is just a regiment leader, he is still a commander with military power and responsible for the defense of an entire neighborhood.
Malashenko is not interested in how he deploys defenses in the area he is responsible for. Why is he interested even after being beaten into a sieve and penetrated?
What is important is the more advanced content this guy knows, the situation of the German defenses in other nearby areas further up, whether the nearby Germans have large reserves of mobile defense, the configuration of the German defense zones further up, etc., etc. That's what Malashenko is interested in.
I didn’t tell me that the German commander knew everything, but he should be able to find out some useful things. Malashenko, who had the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, planned to give it a try first, and maybe there would be something else. What an unexpected gain.
"That's it. We have to go upstairs. It's on the second floor. Do you want me to lead you?"
"Um?"
Malashenko, who was thinking about something while walking, heard this and noticed that the German soldier leading the way had stopped.
Looking up as he spoke, Malashenko found that the place where he stopped was a two-story building that looked unpretentious, even a bit old. Standing in the capital city of Berlin, where luxurious and beautiful buildings are lined up all over the streets, such a two-story building is really inconspicuous and easily overlooked. It seems that this is what this German soldier said to hide his burden. The place where the regiment leader was seriously injured.
"Your captain is being hidden on the second floor?"
Malashenko confirmed for the last time that if there is no problem, then we should be able to start taking action.
After all, time waits for no one. If what you get in the end is a dead body, it will be a waste of time. Malashenko wants to be alive.
"Yes, he is on the second floor. I hid him behind the closet and closed the door. Both of his legs were injured and he couldn't move or run. He was bleeding a lot. I couldn't stop the wounds. You can go up there. Find him. Please save him. Please keep your promise."
"Well, don't worry about that. Since you can keep your promise, so can I. I will make sure to do what I promised you."
Malashenko could see that this German soldier was sincere, and his anxious and angry look almost made him look like the "King of Urgent" on his face. Judging from this, the relationship between this soldier and the regiment leader is quite good. Maybe the regiment leader had a favor with him before? Huh, who knows.
In short, all the answers will be revealed when you go up and take a look.
"You continue to lead the way, everyone will follow."
"yes!"
The first half of the sentence was spoken in German to the ordinary German soldiers, and the second half in Russian was spoken to the comrades accompanying him.
Speaking Russian and German together is one of Malashenko's great abilities. Compared with many two-handed translators, our teacher's German level is almost as good as Russian. It is really much better.
The people accompanying Malashenko were all Alsim's veteran combat engineers who had killed the Nazis without blinking an eye.
This group of people may be ruffians, they may be gangsters, they may even be like bloodthirsty beasts when they treat their enemies, and they can even be said to be "cruel and ruthless" when fighting.
But it is undeniable that this group of people has very strong professional qualities, and their bad taste is one of the final forms of veterans who have evolved to the final stage. When it’s time to be serious, he will never continue to act in a ruffian manner. Under the leadership of Alsim, Malashenko is protected quite well. Every suspicious building on the street has at least one pair of eyes. Stare.
The soldiers of the Leader's Division who had won the battle had basically cleared and occupied all the major buildings on the street, especially those where battles had broken out where German troops had been stationed.
The snipers belonging to the first-level support unit of the mechanized infantry platoon quickly came to the roof of the building on the commanding heights after the battle. They set up sniper rifles in pairs and monitored all suspicious buildings within the field of vision.
The remaining houses that looked harmless to humans and animals and had not seen any fighting due to the German garrison were now being searched house by house by the freed-up Red Army soldiers, under the surveillance and cover of their own commanding heights.
Searching the residents of a house like this sounds really troublesome, but troublesome things have to be done, it is necessary and there is no choice.
Unless you go in and search, you will never know whether there is a Nazi soldier hiding in this house, maybe a sniper or even a fanatic with explosives wrapped around his body, like a bomb that can explode at any time. Time bomb. Hiding in the dark places that you don't know, watching everything, and suddenly popping out to give you something when it thinks the exchange value is the highest.
Maybe it's blowing up transport convoys and blocking traffic, maybe it's sniping and killing important officials and senior commanders who are passing by or inspecting. No one can say this kind of thing well. It depends on the plans and thoughts of the Nazi remnants who are plotting to cause big troubles.
And this kind of thing obviously cannot be tolerated. If something like this really happens, none of those responsible, from the squad leader to the platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander and even the brigade commander, can escape. They had to sit in groups and be punished. So this is something that must be done no matter how troublesome it is. You are not allowed to act emotionally. As long as you still perform your duties and are responsible, you must take responsibility.
It was only after Malashenko entered the house that he discovered that no fierce fighting had broken out in this small building.
Although the streets outside are full of bullet-riddled corpses and blood, the scene inside this small building gives people the feeling of
Well, it's quite warm. After searching for adjectives in his mind for a long time, Malashenko felt that he had to say this.
