USSR 1941

Chapter 252 Armored Train

Immediately, Shulka led his subordinates into the command compartment next to the power compartment.

It is not difficult to find the command car:

The first thing to find is the power compartment, which is very easy. The section with black smoke in the middle is the power compartment.

Then look for both sides of the power compartment.

The two cars connected to the power car are fuel, water and supply cars for armored trains, and the other is the command car.

Of course, the compartments used to load fuel and supplies do not need periscopes and perforations, so the compartment on the left was quickly locked.

"Open the door!" The Cossack rushed up and smashed the car door with the butt of his gun.

In a burst of "bang bang", the door was slowly opened a little.

"Don't shoot, we surrender!" came the blunt Russian.

"Raise your hands and come out!" The Cossack pulled out the grenade and waved it into it.

"No, no..." There was a panic inside, and then a German soldier raised his hand and raised his head.

The door is very thick, so it takes several people to push it hard at the same time, and even a German soldier squeezes into the open door and pushes it open.

As soon as the door opened, Shulka and the Cossack pushed the captive with his hands up and rushed up.

No one protested, and there were a few low-wattage lights inside, so the visibility was good...they in the armored train were not too worried about being observed from the outside, they just needed to be sealed.

A German major stood neatly in front of Shurka, with his chest upright. Seeing Shurka coming up, he said in German with a look of disdain: "Don't be so nervous, Lieutenant, we have already surrendered!"

"English?" Shulka asked.

The German major looked at Shulka in surprise, and then repeated it in English.

"You think we are nervous?" Shulka couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't it?" The major spread out his hands: "If you want to get any information from us, then I'm sorry... We are an engineer battalion,

There is no valuable information! "

"I just want to know one thing, Major!" Shulka walked up to the Major and asked, "Before you surrendered, did you send out the news of the capture of the armored train?"

The major's complexion couldn't help but changed, then he shrugged with a smile: "Of course, of course we sent it out!"

"I already know the answer!" Shulka replied: "Major, you are not good at lying!"

"No, you can't do that!" said the major.

"Give me a reason why I can't do this!"

The major was speechless. This is war, and both the enemy and the enemy are doing whatever they can.

So, if given the chance, anyone would grab it instead of "can't do it" as the major said.

As for what to do...

Needless to say, if the German major did not spread the news, that is to say, the German troops stationed in Tver did not know that the armored train was captured, and they would think that the armored train was still "one of their own".

This cannot be blamed on Major Michael. He has shown enough courage and wisdom in this battle, but he is the commander of the engineer battalion after all, and he usually deals with guerrillas. Made mistakes due to inexperience.

Shulka didn't want to waste any more time with the major, and took him out with a wave of his hand.

Then, first of all, all the German troops were driven out of the train and disarmed. After the Soviet army searched the train roughly, they escorted useful people onto the train.

For example, the driver of the train carriage, the communication soldier in the telecommunications room, etc.

The weapon units were directly supplemented by Soviet soldiers... The armored train was seized from the Soviet army. Many equipment such as machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were Soviet weapons. Of course, they could control them.

Only the 88MM anti-aircraft gun is the stuff of the German army.

But this is not a big problem. It is almost enough to call a few artillerymen up and let the German prisoners introduce and demonstrate it.

In less than ten minutes, the armored train started moving again.

Major Michael, who stood outside with his hands raised, could only stare blankly at the armored train slowly moving towards the German hinterland in the south, feeling extremely regretful but helpless.

Why didn't he send the message out before surrendering?

Just a simple sentence!

The battlefield is such a magical place, sometimes just a few words, such as "We have been captured"... Then there will be a completely different result or many people will be saved.

But now nothing can be changed!

Soon, the armored train disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

Major Michael thought it was the second lieutenant's plan.

The reason is simple, the Russian army's communication equipment is backward, and the entire battle has only been in 20 minutes since the outbreak, and the senior officers of the Russian army have not even had time to come and understand the details.

In particular, the Russian army knew that they rushed to the command car and controlled everyone at the first time. This is definitely a spontaneous behavior of soldiers.

So……

A question ran through Major Michael's mind: who was that second lieutenant?

A second lieutenant could think of this plan to use the armored train and put it into action immediately.

As if answering Major Michael's question, the adjutant who followed Major Michael raised his hand and whispered, "Major, the Russian second lieutenant just now looks familiar, I seem to have seen him somewhere!"

"Have you seen him?" Major Michael said mockingly, "Isn't this your first time being a prisoner?"

"No, I didn't really see it!" Major Michael replied: "It should be in the newspaper, the Russian newspaper... I remembered, he is the 'breakout hero'!"

Major Michael turned his head to look at the adjutant with a shocked expression, and then realized that he was not wronged.

Major Michael guessed right, Shulka did not report his own decision to his superiors.

This is not Shuerka's arbitrariness, but Shurka knows that the speed of war is precious, and any hesitation will bring uncertain danger to the plan.

Shulka just left a signalman to inform Major Gavrilov and Major Zakhakovic.

At this time, Major Gavrilov had just followed the troops across the bridge, and when he watched the armored train slowly drive away, he even shouted angrily: "What's going on? Are you just watching the enemy flee like this?!"

Then, as soon as Major Gavrilov turned his head, he ordered the signal soldier: "Notify the Rocket Battalion immediately..."

"Major!" At this time, the communications soldiers left by Shulka hurried up to stop them: "That is our armored train, and Comrade Shulka led the comrades of our company to drive it..."

Major Gavrilov understood immediately, and then cursed with a smile: "This guy, such a good thing won't wait for me for a while!"
