Red Moscow

  Chapter 259 Fighting behind the enemy (5)

  Kursk is a relatively large city. After the war broke out, although evacuation work was carried out. But as soon as the work began, the city fell, so that most of the inhabitants remained in the city.

  Residents in the east of the city who had been busy for a day were walking home one after another when they suddenly saw German soldiers escorting a group of prisoners and coming in from outside the city. The German police, who were patrolling the streets, hurriedly pushed the residents walking on the road to the sidewalk so that they would not affect the progress of the captive team.

  From the outbreak of the war to the present, a large number of Soviet commanders and fighters have become captives of the Germans, and are humiliated and marched on their own land. As a city occupied by the Germans, Kursk residents can often see Soviet prisoners of war brought from various places. So they all stood quietly by the side of the road, looking numbly at the German soldiers and prisoners of war marching on the street.

When the position of the prisoners of war passed in front of them, the residents dispersed one after another and returned to their homes, because the curfew would soon be over. If they continued to stay on the street, once they were caught by the Germans, they might be regarded as underground. Resistance elements were imprisoned in dark prisons, or shot in the street.

  But a young worker named Yala Ke stayed in the distance. He unexpectedly discovered that after entering the city, the prisoner-of-war troops were quickly divided into four teams, each team consisted of ten German soldiers with two guns and thirty unarmed Soviet prisoners of war. Under the leadership, quickly walked forward along different streets.

"What's going on here?" Yalak murmured softly, "The camp where the prisoners of war are held is in the south of the city, but it's clear that this team of prisoners is not going in that direction. Could it be that they want to lock up all the newly captured prisoners of war?" Are you in the city? But even if you want to be locked in the city, you should be locked in one place, how can you go to different directions at the same time?"

  Just as Jarac was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw a German policeman running out of the crowd, shouting something in German. But his shouting was quickly interrupted. A German soldier rushed out, covered his mouth with his hand, and slashed his neck with a sharp dagger.

Seeing this shocking scene, Yalak couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "What's going on, why did the Germans start killing each other?" He was afraid of being caught in a catastrophe, and quickly hid in a corner Here, carefully observe the movement in the distance.

  The policeman who was killed was thrown into the nearby ruins, and the German soldier who killed him returned to the team. What is strange is that the prisoners of war in the team actually gave him a thumbs up, and someone even patted him on the shoulder twice. Seeing this scene, Jarac was even more surprised. When did the relationship between the prisoners of war and the Germans become so friendly? Not to mention after killing a German policeman.

   But what surprised him even more was yet to come. After the German police on duty on the street were emptied, a group of Soviet commanders appeared at the entrance of the city. They used the buildings or ruins on both sides of the street to move forward quickly.

   "Comrade Battalion Commander," a strange voice suddenly sounded beside Yarak, "We found a commoner here, how should we deal with him?"

  Yarak turned his head and saw a dozen Soviet commanders and fighters standing behind him, including an officer. He was deeply afraid that he would end up with the German policeman, so his legs trembled, and he said nervously, "No, don't kill me, I didn't see anything." He ran away, but because he was too scared, he couldn't move his legs at all, so he could only stand there and resign himself to fate.

  The officer standing in front of Yalak was none other than Sokov. In order to speed up the capture of Kursk, he ordered soldiers disguised as German soldiers to clear the streets of Germans passing by, so that he could follow them into the city with his troops.

  I thought it was going to be late, and the residents all returned to their homes, but they didn't expect to find a resident who was peeping here. Sokov looked at the young man in front of him and asked sternly, "Who are you and what do you do?"

"Comrade Commander," hearing the person on the other side speaking standard Russian, Yalak guessed that the other party might be a real Soviet soldier, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat was put back in his stomach, and he quickly replied : "My name is Yarak, I'm a worker in the machinery factory. I just passed by here after get off work. I saw a group of Germans escorting our soldiers into the city. Out of curiosity, I stopped and took a look."

"Tell me, Yalak." Sokov put his finger on the trigger of the assault rifle. If the other party's answer did not satisfy him, he would pull the trigger without hesitation and send the other party to see God: " What did you see?"

"I just saw a German soldier kill a German policeman who was leading the way for them." After Jarac finished speaking, he immediately realized that the German soldier he saw might be a Soviet soldier in disguise. Surprisingly, he asked: "Comrade commander, wouldn't those Germans be disguised by our comrades?"

   Sokov took his finger off the trigger, nodded at him, and said, "Yes, indeed our comrades. Jarac, do you know where there are still Germans?"

"Yes, there are Germans in our factory." Yarak said through gritted teeth, "There are five German soldiers and twenty policemen. They are afraid that we will steal the products from the factory and give them to the guerrillas." Team, every day when we get off work, we have to conduct a fundamental body search. Two days ago, the Germans suspected that several workers belonged to the underground resistance organization, so they arrested them at the factory gate and shot them all in front of everyone. .”

   "Damn the Germans, it's time for them to pay their blood debt." After Sokov finished speaking, he asked Yalak, "Yaraq, are you willing to take my people to the factory?"

  Yarak heard Sokov say this, and immediately realized that the other party was planning to get rid of the German soldiers and police in the factory. He nodded vigorously and said excitedly, "Yes, Comrade Commander, I am willing to lead you the way."

Sokov looked left and right, and found that there was only one officer, the second platoon leader of the second company, Zelia, and told him, "Comrade second lieutenant, take your platoon and go to the machinery factory with Yalak, and put the Get rid of all the Germans in the factory." After a loud promise, Gelia took his subordinates and rushed to the machinery factory with Yalak.
