Chapter 76

I summoned the surviving members of the team to the front and counted the number. In addition to Lukin, Aji, aguminte, the wounded Orlov, and sapochuk and resdayev, three soldiers in the team died, and they all fell under the German gun in front of me.

Behind him came a series of loud slogans from felstov: "line up~~ Come on, come on~~ Attention~~ Turn right, form a four line formation, run Then there was the sound of Qi's footsteps, and a large group of armed soldiers, under the leadership of felstov, ran past me, with uniform steps, showing that this is a well disciplined army.

"Comrade commander," seeing the troops running towards the village, Lu Jin couldn't help saying, "should we follow them and have a look? Maybe there are still Germans in the village."

I thought for a moment. What he said is very reasonable. Lieutenant, they have never been to this village. They are not familiar with the situation in the village. How can they know where to go to find the radio station? We'd better follow them. So I nodded and agreed, "OK, let's go." Then he said to Aji, who was standing on one side and bowed his head, "I'll talk about your business later. Now follow us to the village to have a look."

I took a group of people to walk in the direction of the village behind the team, deliberately let Aji walk beside me, let outsiders feel that I trust him very much, let him follow around as a bodyguard. In fact, I was worried that he would resent me for what happened last night. When I didn't pay attention, I would shoot my black gun behind me, so I could feel at ease if I put him within sight.

The soldiers were at the edge of the forest, waiting for my order. I looked through the telescope at the house where the team was resting last night. There was no movement. It didn't look like someone was in it.

"Felstov!" I called out the Lieutenant's name.

"Here it is Hearing my shouts, the second lieutenant, holding a TT pistol in his left hand, ran to me, saluted me and asked, "are you ready to attack? Comrade commander. "

"Yes!" I nodded and then issued a series of instructions to him: "although more than a dozen German devils were killed in the forest just now, I don't know if there are any remaining Germans in the village. So you have to send someone to occupy the house in front of you and build a firepower there I pointed to the house where I had a rest last night and said, "then send someone to search the house. The radio station is there. I hope it hasn't been transferred by the Germans." After that, I looked at the fading sky and added: "it's getting late. You should make a quick decision and try to solve the battle in ten minutes."

"I understand!" Felstov saluted me again and ran away.

Soon his loud voice came again: "get out of the way in a loose formation, all forward!" With his orders, the soldiers, who had long been ready to go, rushed to the house in a scattered formation. There was no one to speak. It was surprisingly quiet all around, just the chaotic footsteps of the soldiers. But when the line was less than 10 meters away from the gate, the gunfire suddenly started.

It was not our soldiers who were shooting, but the clear roar of German submachine guns at the windows and gates, and the intensive fire brought down a large area of the soldiers who were attacking. The rest of the soldiers quickly lay on the snow and fired at the German soldiers in the room.

The last thing I wanted to see happened. I didn't expect that there were Germans in the house. Judging from the intensity of fire, there are at least ten people inside. I yelled at the man who was standing next to me, "aguminte, shoot! Kill all the German devils who shoot. "

Agumente, lying on the snow, calmly fired a shot in the direction of the house, and the submachine gun at the gate was dumb immediately. A soldier who was close to the house jumped up and rushed to the door with his rifle. He tried to break into the door. As a result, he was knocked down by the bullet from the window just after a few steps. I found that the soldiers lying on the snow and the enemy hiding in the building were very vulnerable. In a short time, several soldiers were hit, and the snow was stained red with blood.

"Comrade commander!" Just as I was worried by the successive casualties of the soldiers, the voice of the instructor Pavlov came from behind me. He panted and ran to me and said loudly, "the German fire is too fierce. Let's attack with artillery?"

"Artillery attack?" When he said that, I was stunned. Did the Soviet army have the advanced communications like the US Army, and could call for artillery support at any time? "What kind of fire?" I asked? Where is the artillery to support us? "

He pointed to his back and said: "we found a lot of 50 mm and 82 mm mortars in the ammunition warehouse, and selected some former artillery soldiers to form an artillery company. They can provide artillery support for the attacking soldiers."

I look back and see, isn't it? Dozens of soldiers carrying gun barrels, gun racks and ammunition boxes are running towards me. Then he stood up excitedly and yelled happily, "come to me, put up the guns and beat these damned Krauts!"

After ten mortars were set up, the artillery adjusted the firing angle quickly and skillfully. With Pavlov's command, the ammunition man put the shell into the barrel. After a series of bangs, shells roared down around the house, exploding, mud and snow splashed, and shrapnel crackled on the wall.

"Where are you going? All missed! Aim at me and fight well Seeing that none of the shells hit the target, I couldn't help yelling at the artillery. After roaring, I also regretted it. Maybe I saw so many soldiers died, so I was a little too impulsive. The first artillery shell was fired with the nature of test firing, and it's okay that I couldn't hit the target. However, I got angry with them indiscriminately. It's really wrong. The artillery did not refute me. Instead, they adjusted the position of the guns and reloaded them. This time, it was very accurate. The shells exploded at the gate and windows, and the German firing in the house was interrupted. In the third round, the falling shells even opened the gate directly“ Go ahead, comrades Ah Ji beside me roared and rushed forward with his bayonet loaded rifle. More than 50 meters away, although the snow was deep, he still ran past in more than ten seconds. Under his leadership, the soldiers who had been lying on the ground also stood up and rushed to the gate. I could clearly see through the telescope that when they rushed five or six meters away from the gate, several German soldiers came out of the room with their hands raised and shouting. But Aji actually did something that made me dumbfounded. He shot one of the soldiers down, then rushed forward and stabbed them with bayonets. Under his demonstration effect, other soldiers also fired one by one, interrupted the surrendering soldiers, and then rushed up to make up for them. In less than a minute, the house was occupied by our army, the battle was over, and all the German soldiers were killed. The radio station was moved out of the house, but it can no longer be used. In the short shelling just now, a shrapnel flying in from the window damaged the battery of the radio station. Lukin, sapochuk and lesdayev also carried out a bloody body from the room. I saw that it was the old lady named ayuna last night. Orlov pointed to the old lady's body and said angrily, "it's this damned old lady who led the Germans here."“ Why did she bring in the Germans? " When I said this, I glanced at Aji and thought: if you hadn't done something like that yesterday, maybe the old lady would not have informed the German. I was surprised by Orlov's reply. He said angrily, "this old lady is not a Russian, but a rich peasant who escaped from Ukraine."“ Rich peasants?! The old lady turned out to be a rich peasant? " Behind him came Pavlov's voice, "if it's a rich peasant, it can explain why she tipped off the Krauts."“ Why? " This time it was my turn to be puzzled, and I asked Pavlov, "what the hell is going on?"“ This... "Pavlov looked left and right, with an expression of desire to talk and stop. I knew he couldn't say something in public, so he pointed to the house where I had a rest last night and said, "let's talk there." Back in the room where I had a rest last night, I asked Pavlov, "Comrade instructor, why do you tell me that the old lady is a rich peasant and she informs the Germans?"“ Have you heard of the great famine in Ukraine? " The great famine? I racked my brains and tried to recall this historical event. I vaguely remember that the great famine happened in 46 years. At that time, shortly after the end of the patriotic war, Stalin proposed to Ukraine, which is known as a granary, the amount of grain handed over to the central government that year. Considering that Ukraine was still in the recovery period after the war, the amount of grain collected was lower than that before the war, but even so, the amount of grain collected was far more than the people could bear at that time. Khrushchev, as the general secretary of Ukraine at that time, found this problem, but for his own future, he finally chose to be silent. After the whole country's grain was expropriated, the great famine was inevitable. In a few months, nearly a quarter of the population was starved to death. After Khrushchev ascended the throne of supreme power, he built a statue in Kiev to commemorate the people lost in this unfortunate catastrophe. But it's only 41 years now! Five years before the great famine, how can Pavlov know about it? Is he a passer-by like me?
