Chapter 2658

Sokov recognized that the person outside was Seryoelkov, and was worried that if he rashly barged in, Kopalova might get nervous and shoot at random, causing accidental injuries. He quickly asked outside, "Is that Captain Seryoelkov?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander, it's me," Seryokov answered from outside. "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Sokov lowered his gun and gestured to Kopalova, who was hiding under the bed, to tell her not to shoot casually. Then he looked outside and asked, "Comrade Captain, are you alone outside?"

"Yes, it's just me."

"Where is Major Vaseligov?"

"He is contacting the nearby garrison through the radio and asking them to rush over for reinforcement." Shelyokov replied, "He is worried that you are getting anxious waiting, so he asked me to come back to tell you."

Sokov stood up slowly, walked to the door and said to Shelyokov outside: "Come in quickly, or some gangsters will suddenly appear and shoot you."

When Seryokov entered the room, he looked at the body on the ground and asked Sokov: "Comrade Commander, where is Kopalova?"

"I'm here, Comrade Captain." Hearing Seryokov asking about her, Kopalova quickly reached out from under the bed and waved to him: "Misha said it's safe under the bed, so I hid here." After that, she tried to get out from under the bed.

But Sokov stopped her: "Kopalova, the battle is not over yet, don't come out yet."

Seryokov looked around the box and saw a lot of bullet holes on the opposite wall. There were even two bullet holes and spider-web-like patterns on the car window. It can be seen how dangerous the situation was at that time: "Comrade Commander, what are the bullet holes on the wall and the car window? Did the enemy start shooting as soon as they entered the room?"

"You're right." Sokov agreed with his statement. "I first heard someone open the door of the box next door, and then I heard the sound of submachine gun fire. I realized something was wrong, so I hid under the bed with Kopalova. Not long after, the door of our box was opened from the outside, and then a man rushed in and fired at the room. I hid under the bed and fired two shots at him, killing him on the spot..."

After listening to Sokov's story, Seryokov showed a shocked expression on his face: "Comrade Commander, it's too dangerous for you here. I'd better stay and protect you."

"No need." Sokov shook his head and said, "You haven't seen the weapons I seized. With these weapons and ammunition, I am fully capable of holding on until the reinforcements arrive. You should go back to find Vaseligov quickly. Maybe he needs your help right now."

"Comrade Commander..." Seryokov was about to say something when his expression suddenly froze. He then raised the submachine gun in his hand and pulled the trigger.

Sokov was shocked, but he quickly came to his senses, thinking that the enemy must have discovered an enemy outside the window, so he decisively chose to shoot. He turned his head and saw that the car window had been shattered, a body was hanging from the roof, and blood was flowing like water from a tap.

Seryokov walked quickly to the window, leaned against the wall and looked up, then lowered his voice and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I am worried that there are still people on the roof. Please let me stay and protect you."

"I have the ability to protect myself. You should go and help Major Vaseligov as soon as possible. He needs you more." Sokov was worried that Seryokov would not want to leave, so he smiled and said to him, "The last time I went to Berlin, I encountered a large-scale gang attack on the road, but I blocked the enemy's attack with the weapons in my hand. The gangsters who attacked the train today are obviously not as well-equipped as those Polish gangsters, so you don't have to worry about me."

After Seryokov left, Kopalova poked her head out from under the bed and asked Sokov curiously: "Misha, what happened just now? Why did Captain Seryokov suddenly shoot?"

"He saw a gangster leaning down from the roof of the car and trying to harm us, so he shot decisively."

After hearing what Sokov said, Kopalova turned her head to look at the car window, and saw the hanging body. She was so scared that she screamed.

But she only shouted twice before realizing that her shouting might attract more bandits, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, trying not to make any loud noise.

Sokov heard footsteps above his head, proving that in addition to the gangsters killed by Shelyokov, there were other gangsters on the roof. He quickly raised his gun, aimed at the roof, and was ready to shoot at any time.

The gangster on the roof of the car may have seen his companion being beaten to death and thought that the man in the box was a tough guy, so he changed his tactics and no longer leaned forward to shoot, but instead threw a grenade directly through the broken window.

In those movies and TV shows, when the actors see a smoking grenade falling and circling around them, their reaction is either to pounce on it or to drag the enemy's body over the grenade to reduce the lethality of the grenade explosion.

But Sokov didn't do that. He just rushed over, picked up the grenade and threw it out of the car window.

When the grenade exploded outside the window, shaking off the remaining glass shards on the car window, Sokov knew that he could not stay in this compartment. He quickly pulled Kopalova out from under the bed, stuffed her into the bathroom next door, and told her: "Find a place to hide, don't come out until I call you."

Seeing Sokov preparing to close the door, Kopalova quickly reminded him: "Misha, you have to be more careful."

"Don't worry, we will reach Vienna alive."

Sokov locked Kopalova in the bathroom because there were no windows inside, so the gangsters on the roof couldn't throw grenades in even if they wanted to. But he didn't stay in the house. Since the gangsters could throw in a grenade, he threw in more grenades.

As soon as he rushed out of the box and came to the corridor, four or five grenades were thrown into the box. The gangster on the roof learned the lesson and did not throw the grenade in immediately after pulling the string, but held it in his hand for two or three seconds before throwing it. In this way, Sokov could not pick up the grenade and throw it out of the window.

Hearing the violent explosion and smoke in the box, Sokov couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he got out in time, otherwise he might have been killed in the box. As for Kopalova, he was not worried. As long as she didn't leave the bathroom, the grenade thrown in by the gangsters should not cause any harm to her.

But Sokov had no idea what to do next.

I definitely can't go into the compartment. The bandits have so many grenades in their hands. If I keep throwing them in, I will be blown to pieces sooner or later. But staying in the corridor doesn't seem to work either. Who knows when the enemies from the front and rear of the train will come over? If I'm attacked from both sides, how can I deal with it? Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard the sound of machine gun fire. Countless bullets hit the iron plate of the compartment, splashing countless sparks.

Sokov looked up and saw that it was the gangster he had seen when he was collecting ammunition. He was holding an MG42 machine gun in his right hand and dragging an ammunition belt in his left hand. He was walking towards him and shooting non-stop. Fortunately, his shooting was not very accurate, and the bullets whizzed past him without hurting him at all.

However, Sokov was not someone who would sit still and wait for death. He lay on the ground, picked up the captured MP40 submachine gun, and started shooting at the bandits who were approaching. As he was not familiar with the performance of the MP40 submachine gun, the bullets he fired did not hit the target, but hit the left and right of the bandits.

Although the bullet did not hit the gangster, it frightened him. He happened to be at the door of a box and entered it.

Seeing the gangsters hiding in the box, Sokov quickly replaced the magazine of his submachine gun, crouched down and rushed forward, approaching the box as quickly as possible.

When he was still five or six steps away from the box, the gangster came out. Sokov fell to the ground and shot at the gangster. The dense bullets hit the gangster. The huge impact of the bullets made him lean back, and the bullets fired by the machine gun in his hand all hit the roof.

Sokov was worried about being accidentally injured by the machine gun in the hands of the bandits, so he quickly moved his stick to the side to avoid the possible shooting range.

After the gangster fell to the ground, the machine gun stopped firing.

Sokov slung his submachine gun over his shoulder, bent down and snatched the machine gun from the bandit's hand. He turned his head and saw the situation inside the box through the open door. There were three bodies lying on the ground, all men, and the bullet shells on their bodies proved that they were shot to death by the bandits. There was a young girl lying on the bed, her clothes were disheveled, and the blood flowing from her neck dyed the pillow red. She must have been killed after being subjected to inhumane treatment by the bandits.

Seeing this scene, Sokov couldn't help but feel the blood rushing to his head. He held the machine gun and walked forward, ready to kill all the bandits he saw.

I walked through two carriages in a row, but didn't see a single person except the body on the ground.

Sokov looked down at the bodies on the ground. Those without weapons were passengers on the train; those with weapons were the gangsters who attacked the train.

When we walked to the dining car, we found that a battle was going on.

Judging from the sound of gunfire, it should be Seryosha and the two soldiers who were surrounded by the bandits and unable to move.

Sokov walked quickly into the dining car and saw three gangsters with guns hiding behind the seats and shooting forward. The ones fighting with them should be Seryosha and the two guards.

Seeing the enemy right in front of him, Sokov naturally didn't show any mercy, and he fired at the backs of the three men with his machine gun. As the gunshots rang out, rows of holes were shot out on the backs of the three gangsters, and they died on the spot without even a groan.

Seryosha, who was hiding behind the table and shooting, saw that the enemies he was shooting at were suddenly killed by Sokov who suddenly broke in. He quickly stood up and asked in surprise: "Misha, why did you come here? It's dangerous here, go back quickly."

"There are gangsters hiding on the roof of the car, constantly throwing grenades into my box. It will be even more dangerous if I stay there." Sokov said as he walked towards Seryosha: "The only way we can be safer is to kill as many enemies as possible."

"Misha," after Sokov approached, Seryosha ordered two soldiers to set up defense on the other side of the dining car, and told Sokov the unfortunate news: "Misha, when we were moving forward just now, I passed by Maxim's box and found that he had been beaten to death by the bandits."

"What, Maxim was beaten to death by gangsters?" Sokov was shocked by the news. You know, Maxim was the head of the press station sent to Vienna by his superiors. Now he unfortunately died on the train, which means that his superiors need to send new people to establish a press station in Vienna.

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first," Seryosha explained, "but after I went in and checked carefully, I found that he was indeed dead." Seryosha pointed his right finger at his body and said, "He was hit by three bullets in the chest and abdomen, but these wounds were not fatal. What really killed him was the bullet that hit his forehead."

Somehow, Sokov felt happy when he heard that Maxim was killed. But in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, he pretended to be sad and said, "It's a pity that such a good comrade died like this."

"Misha, our ammunition is almost used up. What should we do next?" Seryosha asked Sokov.

Sokov took into account that Seryosha and others were using assault rifles, and the ammunition they used was incompatible with other Soviet-made weapons. Once the ammunition was used up, they would be almost like firewood sticks.

He thought for a moment, then said to Seryosha, "Let two soldiers guard here, we will go back to find Vaseligov and check if there are any bandits who have escaped along the way."

"You're right," Seryosha said approvingly. "We don't know how many gangsters are on the bus. Instead of fighting aimlessly, it's better to control two points at the same time and then send people to clear the enemies in the area between the two points."

After leaving two soldiers behind, Sokov and Seryosha carefully searched along the way they came. When they opened the doors of the boxes one by one, they found that there was no trace of the bandits inside, not even a single living person. The people in the boxes were slaughtered by the bandits.

Seeing this, Sokov couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. If he didn't have a few capable guards around him, he might have ended up like these people and become the target of the enemy's slaughter.

When Sokov and Seryosha came to the front of the train, they found Vaserigov and the other man. As soon as Sokov saw them, he couldn't wait to ask, "Major, what's the situation here? Have all the enemies been eliminated?"

"Not yet, Comrade General." Vaseligov shook his head and said, "As we moved forward, the enemies who could not resist hid in the front of the vehicle. I tried to get close to the front of the vehicle, but was beaten back by their dense fire. By the way, what is the situation at the rear of the vehicle? Have all the enemies been eliminated?"

"We only control the area from here to the dining car. We don't know how many bandits there are." Sokov asked seriously, "Major, when will our reinforcements arrive?"

"It will take at least an hour." Vasherigov said cautiously, "After all, the nearest garrison is about 60 kilometers away. It's already very fast to arrive within an hour."

"I hope they come soon." Sokov said helplessly: "I'm worried that we can't hold out that long."
