The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 993

“Strange, there was clearly a car just now, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?”

Several Soviet soldiers with grass on their heads, armed with live ammunition and vigilant faces carefully poked their heads out of the cornfield, took a look at the empty road, and found that the jeep on it had disappeared. They felt very strange! The few test shots of their own artillery unit just now were fired under their guidance.

Since they didn’t know the exact number of enemy troops and whether there was a large enemy force behind the jeep, the Soviet soldiers did not dare to expose their position first, so they had to call for long-range artillery strikes to test the enemy’s reaction.

If the enemy was a large force, Then they can use this coordinate to send their own heavy artillery group to launch an intensive bombardment on the enemy’s large forces, causing heavy casualties to the enemy.

If this is just a small force, then they will have to take the responsibility of finding the location of the enemy’s large forces. In other words, they have to move forward to conduct close reconnaissance.

In the armies of various countries, scouts have a high-risk job.

After all, to find out the enemy’s intelligence, you need to get close enough to the enemy to spy on the enemy.

However, operating under the enemy’s nose, especially spying on intelligence under the nose of the enemy’s large forces, once If they are discovered, the consequences will be very serious.

Intelligence plays an increasingly important role in modern warfare. Armies of all countries hope to obtain more intelligence about the enemy, and do not want their intelligence to be detected by the enemy. Therefore, once they discover the enemy’s scouts, they will definitely kill them all!

Therefore, these Soviet soldiers are obviously very reluctant to continue forward and take great risks to investigate the enemy.

For them, if they do not want to continue forward at great risk, there are only two ways.

The first is to catch the scout who just took the risk here. The first method is to find out the enemy’s intelligence from the small group of coalition soldiers at the head.

The second method is that the coalition’s main force is nearby and suddenly appears. In that case, they don’t have to move forward and can get intelligence right here!

Of these two methods, the first one is obviously more feasible. Moreover, they just looked very carefully. After they called for artillery fire, there was no movement in the rear, and it didn’t look like there was a large army at all.

This means that even if there are enemy troops nearby, they are very far away!

Therefore, it is easier to catch a few tongues!

“Such a big jeep, it can’t disappear out of thin air, right? Go, go to the road and look for the wheel tracks. You can find them just by the marks left by the wheels!”

Scouts are very experienced.

Most of the Soviet soldiers fought hard during the civil war, and many of them are veterans who have experienced battles.

Although the upper and middle levels of the Soviet army were purged of a large number of commanders and generals due to the Great Purge, which caused great problems for the upper and middle levels of the Soviet army.

However, at the bottom, these big soldiers had neither the opportunity nor the ability to get involved in political struggles such as the Great Purge. Before the scope of the Great Purge was further expanded, they were not greatly affected.

Several soldiers acted separately, three of them holding weapons, occupied the best commanding heights nearby, looked in all directions, listened to all directions, paid close attention to every move around, and were ready to attack any enemy that showed up.

The other person walked carefully to the road, carefully checked the marks left by the wheels, and then determined the direction of the enemy’s march!

“Here!”

“”Chase!”

After several Soviet soldiers learned the direction of the enemy’s advance, they immediately launched a rapid pursuit along the highway.

Although it seems a bit unrealistic to chase a four-wheeled jeep with two legs, considering that the enemy’s direction of advance is facing the direction of their army, unless the enemy wants to die, it is impossible for them to step on the accelerator to the bottom and go all the way to the end!

Therefore, they are not worried that they will not catch up with the enemy, because the enemy will slow down sooner or later!

Just after several Soviet soldiers left, several coalition soldiers who were hiding in the cornfield in the distance and secretly observing breathed a sigh of relief!

“Lieutenant Charlie, you are so good at predicting things. There are indeed Russian soldiers here!”

The French lieutenant who had led everyone to escape the disaster and escaped the artillery shells, because of his keen sense of danger, once again led everyone to escape the pursuit of the Soviet army. This made his prestige in this small multinational force unprecedentedly high!

Soldiers from various countries admired and worshipped him from the bottom of their hearts. No one thought that Gaul, which had only resisted the German army for 28 days, less than a month, actually had such a powerful soldier!

Lieutenant Charlie’s level was obviously much higher than that of the middle and lower-level officers in their own army!

Lieutenant Charlie naturally accepted the admiration of his subordinates.

After all, who doesn’t like rainbow farts?

“Haha, do you know how I knew there were Russians around here?”

Lieutenant Charlie was very happy to be flattered by his subordinates, so he deliberately asked this question.

Everyone shook their heads. No matter whether it was the Fairyland, Poland or Lithuania, these countries could not be compared with the powerful country of Gaul in Western Europe.

Gaul was at least the earliest industrial power developed in modern times. The culture and education level of Gaul were not comparable to these weak and small countries. What

‘s more, Lieutenant Charlie was an officer after all, not a soldier. Although the rank of a second lieutenant was not high, most of those who could become a second lieutenant had attended professional schools and received further training. They had some knowledge in their stomachs, which was naturally very different from these ordinary soldiers.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Lieutenant Charlie’s sense of superiority suddenly exploded.

So he explained half-showing off and half-showing off:”It’s actually very simple. Did you notice how many shells there were in the Soviet army’s previous round of artillery fire?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, wondering what this question had to do with the existence of Soviet soldiers.

But everyone still answered honestly.

“The difference between the landing points of the two shells is about 200 meters, and the deviation is not too large. It seems that they were fired from the same artillery!”

The one who spoke was a soldier from the Fairy Tale Country. He was responsible for communications and had much more knowledge than other soldiers!

Lieutenant Charlie nodded slightly. The Fairy Tale Country was a lackey of the sun never sets, and it was considered a relatively wealthy country among the four Nordic countries. It was naturally different from the poor countries in Eastern Europe.

Being able to hear the deviation of the landing point of the shells from the sound of the shells and judge that they were fired from the same artillery was really a skill.
