Chapter 148 Getting Back on Track

With the click of the camera in reporter William's hand, this photo that will have a profound impact in the future and be of extraordinary significance is forever fixed on the film.

After confirming to reporter William that the photo had been taken correctly, the satisfied Malashenko immediately reached out to call Lieutenant Serov, who was not far away directing the guerrillas to escort the prisoners of war. This man was grateful to Malashenko as a life-saver. The young lieutenant was so excited that he immediately ran forward.

"Comrade Major, what are your instructions?"

Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled Lieutenant Serov's shoulders slightly closer to him. Malashenko, who had already hatched a plan, immediately covered Lieutenant Serov's ear with his hands and whispered quietly.

"Comrade Lieutenant, there is an important task to be assigned to you, please do this first"

As Malashenko whispered, he nodded from time to time and kept looking at reporter William who was standing aside. After a while, Lieutenant Serov, who had figured out Malashenko's intention, immediately raised his hand and saluted Malashenko. Shenke reported the reply.

"Don't worry, Comrade Major, this matter will be taken care of by me, and I will definitely handle it properly!"

After making a promise to Malashenko and accepting the order, Lieutenant Serov immediately waved to his guerrillas to speed up their actions. The SS soldiers who had already raised their hands to surrender and were helpless were just put down their hoes by a group of soldiers. Shortly after picking up the guns, the guerrillas escorted them to the car. They held their heads with their hands and faced the dark muzzles of the guns beside them, not daring to make the slightest move that might cause misunderstanding.

Reporter William, who was also a prisoner, was not spared, as was the captain of Clauseheim's second-level assault squadron. Lieutenant Serov, who hated the invaders of his homeland extremely much, took orders from Malashenko, but kept the lowest regard for Reporter William. degree of tolerance.

But for Clauseheim, the leader of the Nazi SS who had just wanted to wipe out his own side, Lieutenant Serov, who was gritting his teeth and hating him now, naturally had no reason to let go of such a great opportunity, which was bigger than a brick. The sole of the military boot immediately kicked Clauseheim on the back.

"Hurry up! Damn it, do you want to be shot?"

Amidst the yelling and cursing, it didn't take long for all the German prisoners of war, including William the reporter and Clauseheim, to be escorted to the car.

The automobile soldiers, who were still a high-tech unit in this era, naturally would not succumb to the small guerrillas. Lieutenant Serov had no other choice but to order the German convoy drivers to continue driving, and at the same time arranged for his close men to He is responsible for command and surveillance from the co-pilot position. If an unexpected situation occurs, he can use a pistol to stop it immediately.

Looking at the convoy of trucks that were back on the road with their engines roaring and going away, after ending this small episode, Malashenko immediately commanded the troops to start again and continued to roar towards the direction of the reserve army headquarters. .

The interior of the KV1 heavy tank turret is much wider than the original T34 medium tank, and even an extra person can still stretch freely inside.

The first ammunition rack of the turret with a total of 12 rounds of ammunition neatly stacked is symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the turret bulkhead. Malashenko, who has long been accustomed to sitting in the mobile arsenal with the shells, is sitting in his car In the long position, he leaned against the bulkhead and played with the newly captured Somi submachine gun in his hand.

Even though Finland was just a marginal effect that played a dispensable role in World War II and was not noticed or even forgotten, the Somi submachine gun born in this small Nordic country was the most excellent submachine gun in the entire World War II. This is unacceptable. Malashenko, who traveled from later generations, marveled at the legendary military industry of this small country.

"Is this the condensed essence of the legend? Even in later generations, Finland can still produce world-famous sophisticated sniper rifles like the TRG42. Isn't Finland's talent for man-made guns innate? But this Somi It’s really great!”

The Somi submachine gun, which is crafted using sniper rifle manufacturing technology, is fully worthy of its nickname of "submachine gun aristocrat". The delicate feel of holding it in the hand and the finishing, drilling and polishing process make the Somi submachine gun simply look like a The artwork is mediocre, but for Malashenko, who had the honor to come into contact with a lot of firearms while studying at Moscow State University, it felt like a world away.

"It's unbelievable. This thing is actually an "old antique" produced during World War II. If such an original product were left in later generations, it would be sold for hundreds of thousands. Such delicate feel and craftsmanship are simply amazing! I always heard this before That guy Rosov said that one somi is worth more than a hundred boboshas, ​​and now it seems that this guy is indeed true to his words. "

Intentionally or unintentionally, the memory of his past life was once again evoked in his heart and he remembered the name of Rosov. This descendant of Lavrinenko and his best friend who drank happily all day long when he was studying abroad was still fresh in his memory. If he lived long enough, he might be able to witness the birth of Rosov. Malashenko couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Damn, the more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes. I don't know if the time argument applies to me. Maybe it's not impossible for me to witness the birth of my parents, as long as I can survive the Great Patriotic War. "

Time passed quickly in Malashenko's reverie. At the same time, General Zhukov, who had set up the front headquarters only 30 kilometers away from Yelnya City, was actively preparing for the second phase of the battle in the Yelnya theater.

The front headquarters, located in a small grassland village, was busy and tense. The ticking sound of radio stations and hurried footsteps were the only main themes in the front headquarters.

As the supreme commander of the headquarters and the actual person in charge of the entire front, General Zhukov, who had just been exiled from Moscow by his father Comrade Stalin, was exchanging opinions with the staff beside him.

"The results of the aviation reconnaissance show that the Germans have transferred a new infantry division to strengthen the defense force in the Yelnya direction. At present, the German troops in the Yelnya theater have accumulated to 7 infantry divisions, and the total force is estimated to be about 80,000. However, these are roughly estimated data based on the results of aerial reconnaissance. It is possible that the Germans have set up fake positions and defense lines and deliberately released smoke bombs to confuse us."

"The intelligence department is trying to contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs agents lurking in Yelnya and the rear to confirm the detailed deployment information and specific number of troops of the German army, but it seems that nothing has been found so far."
