Chapter 681

In fact, the task is not as serious as "capturing the whole train", because the important thing is to capture the locomotive. As long as the locomotive is captured, the carriages behind will not be able to escape.

However, the task is not as easy as it sounds, because it has to deceive the enemy and destroy its headquarters before the enemy finds out the problem, and even cut off the connection between Zazensky and Prodovittoye.

The reason is simple, if the Romanian army finds out that there are Soviet troops disguised as German troops and robbing a train, then a fool will know what will happen next.

As a result, the Romanian Army will report the situation to the Romanian Fourth Army Command in Prodovitoye, and then all plans will be in vain.

Shulka also thought about whether this was too dangerous.

In other words, did the 82nd Infantry Regiment disguise itself as the German army and directly attack Prodovitoye, adding uncertainty to the plan? It might also be successful.

But now, it took a lot of effort to capture Upper Zazensky first and then fight Prodovittoye, which invisibly increased the concept of plan exposure and also increased the difficulty of the task.

But after thinking about it again and again, Shulka thought it was worth it.

First of all, the number of the 82nd Infantry Regiment is too large. There are five battalions in one regiment, and each battalion has three to five hundred people. , with a total force of more than 2,500 people.

This was the time when the 82nd Infantry Regiment was at its largest.

But the bigger the force the harder it is to carry out a sneak attack or a surprise attack... so special forces are always fewer and better.

This is the current situation, even though the 82nd Infantry Regiment seized a large number of military uniforms at the 74-kilometer railway station, it is possible to make one set for each person, and you can even choose the fit and even the rank is not bad.

But the German-style equipment of more than 2,000 people is flawed, and it is impossible to match it all.

Therefore, it was very difficult for the 82nd Infantry Regiment to infiltrate Plodovitoye directly, either on foot or by car.

Let's walk, all Soviet-style equipment, you can find problems with a flashlight, unless the garrison in Prodovitoye is a fool, let them go without even looking.

Let's take a car, all the cars are Soviet-style cars, or American-style, and there is something wrong at first glance, and you will find Soviet-style equipment on closer inspection.

then,

If you attack Prodovitoye directly, the most likely result is that you can only get close but not enter the city, and then you still have to fight from the outside, which is not very meaningful.

But if it is an indirect attack, that is, turn around from Upper Zazensky like now, and use the entire train to carry soldiers in German uniforms into the city, the deception will be doubled. The 82nd Infantry Regiment can enter the city directly and still need to enter the city The possibility of getting to the Prodovitoye railway station also increases in series.

On the other hand, the little town of Upper Caczenski was much easier to deal with.

All things considered, Shulka thought it was worth the risk.

The crowd was walking along the track in the mud, when suddenly a cry came from ahead, in an incomprehensible Romanian language, and Shulka knew that Tsatzenski had arrived.

"We are Germans!" Shulka stepped up and shouted in English, and several Soviet soldiers shouted "don't shoot" and "we are here to reinforce you" in German.

The reason why these Soviet soldiers can speak German is because the Soviet Union and Germany were allies before the outbreak of the Soviet-German War. The Soviet troops who stayed on the border, especially in Poland (the Soviet-German partition of Poland) often communicated with the German army and could speak a few words. German is no surprise.

But of course, these Germans are not standard.

It doesn't matter though, since Romanians don't speak German either, and of course they can't tell the truth from the fake.

This also gave Shulka a reason to speak in English... Usually the Romanian army and the German army communicate more in English.

A flashlight was turned on in the dark, and a beam of dim light shone towards Shulka.

Shulka straightened his body and straightened his military uniform with his hands in white gloves. There were still some mud and holes on the white gloves and military uniform... This was what Shulka asked the soldiers to do on the road, because there were no Which army will wear brand new uniforms.

"You'd better turn off the light, you bastard!" Shulka shouted pretending to be angry: "The Russian planes are staring at us from the sky, do you want us all to die here?"

The Romanian soldier became frightened when he said this, so he hurriedly turned off the light and asked, "Where do you come from, Colonel?"

"Stalingrad!" Shulka replied in a disdainful tone: "Go to reinforce your Prodovitoye, our train was blown up by enemy planes, we can only walk here! If you don't want to, We can definitely go back the same way!"

This is the attitude that the German army should have towards the Romanian army.

Sure enough, the Romanian soldiers quickly lifted their guard and even panicked a little.

"No no!" replied the soldier in the darkness. "Sorry, Colonel! You are welcome, and we will provide you with everything you need!"

"Is there a train?" Shulka asked, waving the troops forward.

"Yes, of course!" A Romanian officer came up in the darkness, and Shulka couldn't see his rank clearly in the darkness, but this was not important.

Even this is a good thing, because it is difficult for the Romanians to see the rifles in the hands of the Soviets.

"We can send you to Plodovitoye as quickly as possible, Colonel!" The officer said to Shulka almost nodding and bowing: "There are two trains parked here, and we will empty one of them for your use. !"

"Very good!" said Shulka. "Who is in command here?"

"Major Amedeo!" replied the officer.

"Where is he?" Shulka said. "I need to see him!"

"Of course!" replied the officer. "He's at the command post. I'll take you to him right away! Honorable Colonel!"

The German army has a detached position in the Axis army, not only because they basically control the command, but also because they are the main force on the battlefield... The battlefield always respects those who can fight.

Then, when Shulka led the troops into the Romanian army's defense line, the Romanian army stood on both sides of the railway and stood up to salute, and they did not dare to move.

This made Shulka enjoy this feeling a little bit.

"How many people are there?" Shulka asked casually.

"A battalion, Colonel!" The officer replied: "Probably... more than three hundred people!"

The reason for saying "probably" may be because he is not sure how many people escaped in the night.

At this time, a black figure hurriedly came from the front. The officer had sharp eyes and said, "That is our battalion commander. He is here to welcome you, Colonel!"
