Chapter 2713 Kill the enemy with two shots

When he learned that Germans had appeared nearby, Andre's face turned livid. He grabbed the soldier's wrist and said emotionally: "I will take you to see the captain, follow me!"

Seeing Andre taking the soldier to find the captain, Sokov wanted to know how the captain was going to handle the matter, so he also chased after him.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the captain.

"Captain, it's bad." The soldier said urgently: "We found Germans on the road ahead."

"What, the Germans were discovered." The captain, who was sitting on a tree trunk to rest, suddenly stood up when he heard the soldier's report and said loudly: "Quick, come with me and take a look."

Sokov couldn't help but frown slightly at the captain's handling of the situation: "Captain, shouldn't you first ask how many Germans there are and what kind of equipment they have, and then rush over to check it out? Is this appropriate? I I think we should figure out the enemy’s situation before deciding what to do next.”

"Sokov, what's the matter with you?" Andrei saw the captain's expression change, and worried that he would get angry at Sokov, he quickly said: "What do you, a new recruit, know? How dare you question the captain's decision? Why don't you retreat quickly?" Then he said to the captain with a smile, "Captain, he is just a newbie, he doesn't know anything, don't be angry with him."

But the captain's eyes stayed on Sokov and asked coldly: "If you were me, how should you deal with this matter?"

"Captain, if you allow me, please let me demonstrate it for you." After seeing the captain nod slightly and agreeing to his request, Sokov turned to the soldier and asked: "Comrade soldier, please tell me, Did you see the Germans with your own eyes, or did someone else tell me?"

"A civilian who was fleeing told me this." According to Andrei, Sokov was just a new recruit who didn't understand anything. But for some reason, the soldier felt that the person standing in front of him was asking questions. As if he was a senior officer, under his pressure, the soldier became a little embarrassed when he spoke: "He said that he saw Germans on the road ahead."

"How many Germans are there and what kind of equipment do they have?"

"This, I'm not sure about this." The soldier replied in a panic: "I learned that the Germans had appeared, and I thought I should report it to the captain first, so I rushed back."

After Sokov asked the question, he turned to the captain and said: "Comrade Captain, you heard it, right? This soldier just heard a passerby say that there were Germans nearby, and hurried over without confirming it. Report to you.”

"Then tell me," the captain looked at the soldier reproachfully, and then asked Sokov: "What should I do next?"

"Captain, I can take someone to the east to check." Although the soldier only heard that Germans appeared nearby, it was still necessary to conduct reconnaissance nearby to find out whether there were any Germans. If it does happen, you need to prepare in advance to avoid being dumped by the Germans.

The captain looked at Sokov, surprised at his calm expression. After frowning and thinking for a while, he turned to Andre and asked, "Andre, what do you think of this matter?"

"Captain," Andrei replied, "I can take Sokov on a reconnaissance trip to see if there are any Germans on the road to the east."

"Well, you go ahead." The captain nodded and said, "Pay attention to safety."

In this way, Sokov carried a Mosin-Nagant rifle without bullets and followed Andre to the road east of the woods to perform a reconnaissance mission.

On the way, Andrei warned Sokov again: "Sokov, our mission is reconnaissance, not fighting with them. If we can avoid alerting them, don't alert them. So don't panic when you discover the Germans later. Stay calm and I will keep you safe."

"Andre, can I ask you a question?"

"What's the problem?"

"How many bullets are in your gun?" This is the question Sokov is most concerned about. He said that he was on a reconnaissance mission. If he encountered the enemy, he couldn't turn around and run away, right? No matter how fast you run, you can't outrun the enemy's bullets. If there are bullets in the gun, it will be able to fight. Sokov believes that with his shooting skills, he should have no problem knocking down three or five enemies.

Andre hesitated for a moment, then said the answer: "Three shots."

The muscles on Sokov's face twitched violently. "What, only three rounds?"

"Well." Andrei saw the shocked expression on Sokov's face and quickly explained: "When we broke out from Uman, the reason why we were basically wiped out was because the ammunition was exhausted and the soldiers were all in a hurry. We bravely charged towards the enemy's defense line with bayonets in hand. Although we finally broke through the encirclement, our troops were basically exhausted. "

Sokov turned his head and glanced at the woods where the troops were resting, and humbly asked Andre for advice: "Andre, what is the captain's next plan? Where is he going to take us?"

"I don't know." Andre shook his head and said, "The captain said that we will stay where we are until we receive orders from our superiors."

After listening to Andrei's words, Sokov couldn't help but raise his hands to his forehead, thinking to himself that you have all lost contact with your superiors, who will give you orders. If you continue to stay where you are, within a few days, you will be completely wiped out by the surrounding Germans.

"But you have lost contact with your superiors. No one knows that you are staying in this forest," Sokov reminded: "Are you just going to stay there like this, waiting for orders and supplies that will arrive at some point?"

Andre said nothing, but Sokov realized from the change of expression on his face that his words had a certain impact on him, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Except for ammunition, I noticed that you don't carry much food. Well. If we don’t get supplies from our superiors, can we all just stay in the woods and wait to die?”

"Sokov, you are right." Andrei finally nodded in agreement with Sokov and said, "After completing the reconnaissance mission, I will tell the captain about this when I go back."

The two walked some distance further. After coming out of the woods, Sokov looked down at the rifle without bullets in his hand and asked tentatively: "Andre, can you give me two bullets?"

Hearing Sokov's question, Andrei asked warily: "What do you want bullets for?"

"That's it, Andrei." Sokov knew that if he couldn't convince Andrei, he wouldn't be able to get the bullet from him, so he organized the vocabulary in his mind, and then said: "I used to go to the shooting range. I have been shooting, and my marksmanship is pretty good. If there are bullets in the gun, I might be able to kill one or two enemies when I encounter them.”

Unexpectedly, Andrei laughed after hearing this: "Sokov, you really take it for granted. Fighting on the battlefield and shooting on the shooting range are completely different things. There was a soldier in our company who was a soldier in the city before joining the army. Shooting champion. However, he went to the battlefield. Afterwards, he saw the enemy rushing towards him, but his hands were trembling, and he couldn't even pull the trigger. If the squad leader beside him hadn't kicked him and scolded him a few times, I’m afraid I don’t know how he died.”

From Andre's tone of voice, Sokov heard that the shooting champion later died, and asked curiously: "The shooting champion died?"

"Yes." Andre nodded, his expression dimming, "He died heroically to save me when Uman broke out."

At this time, the roar of motorcycles suddenly came from the road ahead that was hidden in the woods.

"Andre, it may be the enemy." Sokov quickly pulled Andre and hid in the grass on the roadside, and continued: "Hurry up and hide, don't let the enemy find us." Soon, a car The three-wheeled motorcycle drove out along the dirt road in the woods.

There were only two German soldiers in the car, a motorcyclist driving with a windshield, and a soldier sitting in a sidecar with a submachine gun.

When the motorcycle traveled thirty or forty meters away from the two of them, it suddenly stopped.

"Sokov, what's going on?" Andrei asked tremblingly: "Have they discovered us?"

After clearly seeing the soldier sitting in the sidecar getting out of the car, Sokov directly slung the submachine gun on his shoulder, then took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed it to the motorcyclist. The two of them each held a cigarette and started puffing away.

"It's okay, they just got out of the car to smoke."

Andre raised his gun and aimed at the two German soldiers. But after taking aim for a long time, he still didn't fire.

When Sokov saw this situation, he immediately thought of the movie "At the Gate", where the political worker and Vasily were hiding in the fountain outside Stalingrad station. The political worker aimed his gun at the German officer, but did not dare to shoot. gun, and finally handed the gun to Vasily, allowing him to complete the first five kills in his life, which laid a good foundation for him to become a famous sniper in the future.

Seeing Andre raise the gun and aim it for a long time, and finally put it down again, still panting, Sokov knew in his heart that the other party might give the gun to him later.

Sure enough, the next moment, Andrei asked Sokov in a low voice: "Comrade Sokov, are you sure you will hit the target?"

For Sokov, it was easier to kill two German soldiers standing next to a motorcycle smoking than shooting fixed targets at a shooting range, not to mention that the two German soldiers were only thirty or forty meters away from him. , it is not a piece of cake to kill them. So he nodded and said, "No problem, give me the gun."

But just when Sokov's hand had touched the rifle, Andrei put the gun back and asked uneasily: "Sokov, are you really sure?"

Sokov laughed angrily at his words. If you want to destroy the enemy, but you don't trust yourself, what's the matter? So he took back his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Andre, if you are worried, just fight it yourself."

Andre said awkwardly: "If I could hit it accurately, I would have shot it long ago."

"Then why are you dawdling?!" Seeing the other party dawdling, Sokov immediately became angry. He grabbed the gun in his hand and snatched it away. He said dissatisfiedly: "Watch me take care of these two." A German soldier."

After getting the gun in his hand, Sokov did not shoot blindly, but opened the magazine and took a look. After seeing that there were indeed three rounds of bullets inside, he closed the magazine, lay on the ground and aimed at the smoker in the distance. Two German soldiers.

The first target to be hit was the enemy in the sidecar. When he killed him, the motorcyclist sitting on the motorcycle would definitely not have time to take off the submachine gun on his back and shoot at his position. Carry out fire suppression; unable to turn around in time and drive away, you can only become your own target.

Having made up his mind, Sokov aimed at the German soldier's chest and pulled the trigger. After completing the shooting action, he did not immediately check whether he hit the target. Instead, he pulled the bolt to load the bullet and pulled the trigger directly at the motorcyclist.

After the two gunshots, the two German soldiers who had not finished smoking fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing Sokov kill two German soldiers so cleanly, Andre's expression changed, and surprise flashed in his eyes. After a while, he asked with a bit of flattery: "Did you practice on the shooting range?"

Sokov couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Well, I practiced my marksmanship at the shooting range."

After Sokov killed the two German soldiers, he was still thinking about how to explain to Andre why his marksmanship was so good. Now that the other party had already made up a reason for him, he said in a smooth manner: "Yes, I have been to the shooting range many times, and my marksmanship was developed at the shooting range."

After saying this, Sokov returned the rifle in his hand to Andre, then stood up and ran towards the two dead German soldiers. As long as he searched for the weapons on their bodies, he would not have to go to the battlefield with a fire stick. .

After Sokov collected the submachine guns of two German soldiers and more than a dozen magazines, Andrei trotted over with two rifles.

"Sokov, here's your gun."

But Sokov shook his head and said: "Andre, you better keep it. I think on the battlefield, the submachine gun can play a greater role."

Seeing that Sokov had already carried two submachine guns on his back, Andre was not only envious but also envious, but these were Sokov's trophies, and he had no shame in competing with them.

After a pause, Andrei asked tentatively: "Sokov, where should we go next?"

"Can you ride a motorcycle?"

"Yes." Sokov said to Andre: "You come and ride this car and take me to the front to scout and see if we can find our troops."

"Sokov, you don't want to ride a German motorcycle, do you?"

"Isn't it possible?" Sokov looked at Andre and reminded him: "The task the captain gave us is to detect the enemy's situation. There are ready-made motorcycles, so do you still want to walk to carry out the task?"

After hearing what Sokov said, Andre felt that what the other party said was reasonable, so he got on the motorcycle directly, turned around and drove in the direction of the German soldiers.

Sokov, sitting in the sidecar, was vigilantly observing the surrounding environment with a submachine gun. Once he discovered anything suspicious, he would shoot without hesitation. After all, this is a war era. If you don't want to die too early, you need to be vigilant at all times and discover and avoid risks in time.

"Sokov," Andrei turned to ask Sokov loudly: "Where are we going?"

"Keep going along the road," Sokov said. "When you hear me tell you to stop, you stop. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"
