Red Moscow.

Chapter 2724: The agency is too clever

The people in the truck on the opposite side also saw Sokov's convoy and stopped immediately. Then the soldiers in the truck jumped out of the truck and quickly dispersed to the road and both sides of the road, setting up a fan-shaped defense. lock up.

"Sokov, what are they doing?" Andre saw this and asked Sokov curiously.

"I feel something is wrong." As a veteran who had fought on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War for several years, Sokov immediately noticed something was wrong with the other party, and quickly turned to Andre and said: "Andre , immediately sent a signal to the soldiers behind to prepare for battle. I suspect these people are Germans in disguise."

When setting off in the morning, Sokov was worried that he might encounter enemies on the road, so he agreed on a special communication signal with the soldier in charge of each vehicle.

After listening to Sokov's words, Andrei also realized that there was something wrong with the group of soldiers. He quickly raised his hand and knocked on the board behind the bridge, and opened the small window. Soon, a soldier came to the window and asked: "Andre, what's the matter?"

"Did you see the group of soldiers in front of you?"

"I saw it."

"Sokov suspects that those are German disguises. You send a signal to the following vehicles to get them ready for battle."

"Okay, I'll send the signal immediately."

The soldier in the second car saw the signal from the first car and immediately sent it to the second car, and the second car sent the signal to the third car, like a relay.

The guard sitting in the passenger seat of the car saw the soldiers in the car in front, constantly making gestures to the back, and quickly called Vlasov, and then said in surprise: "Comrade Commander, look quickly , what signal does the soldier in the front car seem to be sending to the back? "

Vlasov took a look, but no, a soldier in the car in front was facing his direction, gesturing constantly. He also couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only frown and say: "Strange, what is this Sokov doing?"

The convoy came to a stop about ten meters away from the defense circle. Sokov got out of the car with a submachine gun. He saw a captain standing in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back. He turned around and said to Andre who was still sitting in the car. One sentence: "Andre, let the soldiers prepare for battle. If you find anything wrong, shoot immediately. Do you understand?"

"Sokov, would it be too dangerous for you to go there alone?"

"It's okay. With you as my backing, how can I be in danger?"

Sokov came to the captain with a gun in hand, raised his hand in salute and asked: "Comrade Captain, I wonder what you are doing here?"

"We were notified that Germans had sneaked into this area, so we had to conduct strict checks on passing vehicles."

"Oh, yes."

Sokov remembered three ways to quickly identify Germans: First, identify the accent. Russian has a lot of retroflex sounds, and some syllables are very difficult. For people who are not native Russian speakers, it is difficult to speak without any confusion. Poor, just because of this small difference, the disguised enemy can be exposed.

Second, look at the documents. The staples used on the Soviet military documents are made of crude steel and are easy to rust. However, the staples used on the fake documents used by the Germans are made of stainless steel and will not rust at all. .

Third, the spikes on the bottom of the boots of the Soviet and German troops. The Soviet boots used round-headed nails, while the German boots used square-headed nails.

The person standing in front of him now wears the rank of captain. It is obviously unrealistic to ask him to say more; and it is even more impossible to check his ID. Because the only way to distinguish between friend and foe is to look at the spikes on their feet. Sokov looked behind the captain and saw a row of footprints on the dirt.

After a quick identification, he determined that the footprints imprinted on the mud were the imprints of square-headed nails left by German army boots.

After confirming the opponent's identity, Sokov turned his head and glanced behind him, and found that his soldiers were looking towards him, seemingly ready for battle.

He turned around, faced the captain again, and then asked in fluent German: "If I am not mistaken, are you the Brandenburg troops?"

There was a shocked expression on the captain's face, and then he reached his hand to his waist, as if preparing to draw his gun. But how could Sokov give her a chance to shoot? He quickly lay back, sat directly on the ground, pointed the submachine gun in his hand at the captain and pulled the trigger.

Amidst the continuous shooting, countless blood splashed on the captain's chest and abdomen. He screamed twice, covered the wound on his chest, and fell to the ground.

Seeing the captain fall to the ground after being shot, the soldiers lined up in a fan shape woke up from a dream and quickly raised their guns and aimed at Sokov. But Sokov let them hit him and rolled on the spot, out of the bullet's shooting area.

Before these fake Soviet soldiers could fire again, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers in the car started firing intensively. For a moment, the soldiers were shaken like leaves in the wind.

When no one was still standing, the soldiers in the first car jumped out and came to Sokov.

Vlasov also got out of his car. He quickly came to Sokov and asked with a straight face: "Comrade Sokov, please explain why you shot at one of our own people and why?" Kill them all."

Faced with Vlasov's accusation, Sokov said calmly: "Comrade General, what you see with your own eyes may not be true. You see them as one of your own, but in my eyes , but they are enemies.”

"What, they are enemies?" Vlasov looked at the enemies lying in a pool of blood, frowned and asked, "How do you prove it?"

"If you want to prove it, it's very simple." Sokov bent down and dragged a corpse in front of him, lifted one of the corpse's feet, and said to Vlasov: "Comrade General, you saw it, the Germans used The spikes are square, but our army’s spikes are round.”

In order to prevent Vlasov from not believing him, Sokov searched the body for a while, took out an ID card, held it in front of Vlasov, and continued: "Comrade General, take a look, in the military ID card None of the staples are rusty. You know, the staples in our military ID cards are easy to rust, but the German staples are made of stainless steel, so they won’t rust.”

After reading Sokov's comparison, Vlasov couldn't help but gasped: "Sokov, so it means they are Germans in disguise?"

"That's right," Sokov nodded and said in a positive tone: "I can confirm that this team is disguised by the Germans."

Vlasov roughly counted the bodies on the ground and said expressionlessly: "There are only 19 of them. How dare they attack our convoy of nearly a hundred people?" "Comrade General, the reason is very simple." Sokov Seeing that Vlasov seemed a little doubtful, he quickly added: "They may have seen your car in the convoy and thought we had the big fish they wanted, so they hurried on the highway regardless of the fact that they had fewer troops than us. A cordon was set up.”

When Sokov said this, Andrei added: "Comrade General, Sokov is right. After the Germans set up a cordon here and blocked the way of our convoy, you will definitely get out of the car and ask in person. What's going on? When you show up, that's when they do it. But they never dreamed that they would be identified prematurely."

"That's it, Comrade General." Sokov waited for Andre to finish speaking, and then continued: "The Germans must have wanted to wait for you to get off the car and catch you as a big fish, so they saw that I was the only one getting off the car. , they didn’t act rashly. Who knew it was this wrong decision that led to the annihilation of their entire army.”

A soldier came over with the military identification card found on the body and handed it to Sokov.

Sokov opened it and took a look. The staples inside were indeed made of stainless steel and had no rust at all.

"Comrade General, look, this is the military ID they carry." Sokov handed the military ID in his hand to Vlasov: "It is the same as what we have."

After reading the military certificate in his hand, Vlasov finally recognized Sokov's statement in his heart. The small unit that was eliminated was indeed disguised by the Germans. After he handed the military ID card back to Sokov, he asked: "What should I do with these corpses?"

"Of course we have to dig a hole and bury them," Sokov said. "Otherwise our passing troops will mistake them for our own people when they see them."

"Sokov, you are right." Vlasov nodded and said: "We can't let them lie on the road like this, lest our own people misunderstand us. When you lead people to dig holes to bury them, remember them All the uniforms and weapons were taken away.”

"Understood, Comrade General." After Sokov agreed, he ordered Andre: "Andre, you immediately lead people to dig a hole and bury these corpses. We have to continue on our way."

"Why do you always leave this kind of drudgery to me?" Andre muttered, turning around to call for help, preparing to find a soft soil location next to the road and dig holes to bury the corpses of the Germans.

When Andrei was digging a hole on the roadside with his men, Vlasov said to Sokov: "Comrade Sokov, although you are a new recruit, I think you are not simple. Waiting for this new appointment Are you interested in staying with me after you come down?”

Sokov couldn't help but tremble after hearing this. He thought to himself, "I can't even hide from you, but I still follow you. Isn't that the old man hanging himself because he doesn't want to live too long?"

However, he did not refuse Vlasov face to face. After all, he still had to **** him to Moscow. He could only say tactfully: "Comrade General, thank you for your kindness. As for where I will go in the future, I will wait for your new appointment." Besides, if the Supreme Command wants to keep you in Moscow, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay even if I want to.”

"Why do you say that?"

"People are needed on the front line." Sokov said sincerely: "People like me with a little combat experience will definitely be sent to the front line."

While talking, a motorcade drove up from a distance, and the supplies on the vehicle were all covered tightly by dark green canvas.

The convoy stopped dozens of meters away, and an officer and several soldiers came over. Their weapons were not in their hands, but in their hands. They seemed to be ready for battle.

Seeing this, Sokov quickly gestured to the machine gunner standing in the carriage. After the other party understood, he aimed the machine gun above the bridge at those people. As long as he saw Sokov giving a signal, he would pull the trigger without hesitation.

"Which unit are you in?" the officer leading the team shouted from about ten meters away.

"We are from the 4th Mechanized Army." Since Sokov's unit did not have a designation, it could only temporarily borrow the designation of the unit commanded by Vlasov: "We were ordered to **** a senior commander back to Moscow."

Hearing what Sokov said, the officer raised his hand to ask the soldiers around him to lower their guns. Then he walked to Vlasov alone, raised his hand and reported his name, rank, and unit to the other party. positions held here.

After finding out that the other party was a transport captain, Vlasov asked with interest: "Comrade Lieutenant, I wonder where you plan to send this batch of supplies?"

"Report to Comrade General that this batch of supplies is sent to Nirvana."

"Oh, it turned out to be sent to Nizhin." Vlasov said with a smile: "We just left there early this morning."

"Comrade General," the transport captain looked at the corpses thrown aside and asked curiously, "What's going on with these corpses?"

"It's a group of Germans disguised as our troops." Sokov said first: "They tried to intercept us here, but we saw through it and the whole army was wiped out."

In order to convince the transport captain that what he said was true, Sokov even pulled him to squat next to a corpse: "Comrade Lieutenant, you see, the spikes on the bottom of the shoes they wear are square, and the spikes of our army are It’s round.”

The transportation captain carefully looked at the soles of the corpse's shoes and found that the spikes on the soles were indeed square. He nodded and said, "Yes, his spikes are indeed square."

Sokov then handed the transport captain a seized military ID card: "Look at the staples in the military ID card. They are all made of stainless steel."

"Comrade soldier," the transport captain said to Sokov after finally confirming that the corpses on the ground were not his own, but Germans disguised as his own, "I saw so many enemy corpses lying there from a distance, and I thought They were part of a small force that was wiped out by the Germans, so they came over with a few soldiers to check on them. Fortunately, they didn't act recklessly, otherwise they would have started fighting with each other."

The misunderstanding was cleared and the convoy was about to continue on its way. Sokov quickly asked Andrei and the others to move the corpses on the road so as not to affect the normal movement of the convoy.

The transport captain asked curiously: "Comrade soldier, I see you don't have any military rank. Why do these soldiers obey your orders like this?"

Before Sokov could speak, Andrei said first: "Comrade Lieutenant, in our army, we do not look at rank or position, but at who has the ability. Even though Sokov is a new recruit who has not long joined the army, but He has made great achievements. Because of this, no soldier in the company disobeys him. Therefore, even if he does not have a military rank, all soldiers in the company will obey every order he gives. "

"So that's it." After the transportation captain figured out what was going on, he nodded slowly. Seeing the truck he was riding in approaching, he stretched out his hand to Sokov and said with a smile: "Comrade soldier, we will meet again later. I hope that when we meet next time, you have obtained a military rank that matches your abilities."
