Chapter 83

The German infantry, under the cover of a tank, rushed from the city down the street to the station. The soldiers of the second company, under the command of sapochuk, concealed themselves in the buildings on both sides of the street that had not yet completely collapsed and opened fire on the enemy.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the second company to block the enemy, I asked felstov to lead the first company into the waiting building to assist the garrison defense. Then I took the soldiers of the guard platoon and artillery company to push the wreckage of several buses to the middle of the road to make a roadblock, and piled up the sandbags in front of the roadblock to build new fortifications.

The tank stopped about 50 meters away from our position, slowly turned the turret to the left and fired at the most powerful position of the second company. With a loud bang, the shell hit the target accurately and collapsed the whole wall. The broken wall fell down, raising a piece of dust and covering the soldiers who had just shot inside. Several soldiers covered with soil struggled to get out of the ruins. As soon as they ran to the street, they were knocked down by the German soldiers hiding behind the tanks.

The turret of the tank turned to the right again and fired another shot. The outer wall of the five story residential building on the left side of the road was blown down in half, and the fire point in the building was dumb again. Seeing that the threat on both sides of the street was eliminated, the German soldiers hiding behind the tanks bent over with guns and carefully touched up along both sides of the street.

I lay down behind the sandbag bunker, looked at the black muzzle of the tank, turned to the artillery company commander who was hiding behind, and cried anxiously, "Ishayev, quickly shoot down the German tank with the gun."

The artillery company had already set up the mortar. As soon as my order was issued, several shells roared out, and then exploded in the position where the enemy infantry were gathered. Several soldiers close to the explosion point were blown to pieces, and their limbs and viscera were scattered on the street like rain. Fortunately, the soldiers who survived quickly shrank back to the back of the tank.

The German tanks, perhaps finding our mortars the biggest threat, drove a way forward and then stopped to fire at the artillery position. The shells hit the artillery position accurately, several mortars were directly destroyed, the surrounding artillery were either dead or wounded, and the wounded lay on the ground moaning loudly. Fortunately, the shell was not detonated, otherwise it would cause more casualties.

Sapochuk was also wounded, his face covered with blood, kneeling on one knee, calmly directing the remaining guns to fire at the enemy.

"How are you doing, sapochuk?" I asked aloud, crouching behind the bunker.

"I can't die." He gave me an answer, then waved down and yelled at his men, "fire."

Several shells exploded around the tank, and the smoke completely covered the tank. Just when I thought the tank had been destroyed, the wind dispersed the smoke, and the tank continued to move forward intact, followed by groups of infantry.

"Sapochuk, where's your antitank gun?" It suddenly occurred to me that there were 45mm anti tank guns in the artillery company, but it seemed that I had never seen them before. If I want to fight tanks, they are the most effective.

"On the sled, it's not assembled yet." His answer cooled my heart. Will the German give us time to assemble? Except for a few mortars, we don't even have combustion bottles. If the tank rushes in front of us, we're all finished.

At this time, the second company's firepower points on both sides of the street revived again, shooting at the German army from a commanding height, and dropping several grenades from time to time. I saw that the infantry behind the tank fell down, and the tank couldn't hit the soldiers because of the angle. I was afraid of being attacked by our anti tank weapons, so I had to back up in an emergency and run over the corpses and the wounded directly. The screams of those people were creepy.

As the tank retreated, it fired. A shell hit the rubble pile not far away from me, lifted many bricks and stones into the air and smashed them down again. The falling debris hit my back like a heavy hammer, which made me see stars. I could clearly hear the sound of the bone being smashed, but fortunately it was only painful and didn't hurt the key. However, the machine gun shooter who was shooting beside me was not so lucky. He was hit in the head by the falling stones. Without a hum, he lay on the sandbag and did not move.

Holding back the pain, I climbed over and grabbed the machine gun. Put the gun on the sandbag, squat half, put the butt of the gun against the shoulder socket, and jerked the trigger at the enemy in the distance. But machine guns and submachine guns are not the same, the huge recoil let me sit on the ground, a bunch of bullets aimlessly shot into the sky. I stood up, took a lunge, put the butt of the gun against the shoulder socket again, and pulled the trigger again. This time, I didn't hit the bullet to the sky, but hit it on the ground more than ten meters away, causing snow to splash on the ground. I adjusted my angle again, and this time I fired the bullet right at the German army.

Two more rounds of mortars were fired, but they did not pose much threat to the German tanks. They just knocked out a lot of infantry. When the German tanks shelled the fire point of the second company, our mortar did not move. I handed the machine gun to Aji, who had just climbed into the bunker. Then I bent down and ran to issayev. I asked him angrily, "why don't you fire?"

He sat on the ground, pointed to the empty medicine box and the shell case beside him and said to me, "all the shells are gone."

I looked disappointedly at the empty box on the ground, then turned my eyes to isayev's face. I was startled when his Zunrong stopped, and I couldn't help taking a breath. On his right side of the face, a wound extended from the temple to near the chin. The skin on both sides turned over. The bones inside were clearly visible. It seemed that there were a lot of dirty things in the wound. It seemed that it was black.

"Hygienist, is there a hygienist?" I yelled to the side, if this wound is not treated in time, once infected, he will be completely finished.

With my shouts, a soldier with a medicine box on his back climbed up from the nearby rubble, bent to run to me, squatted and saluted me: "commander comrade, Gaidar, 1077 regiment health worker, reports to you, waiting for your instructions."

I pointed to isayev, who was sitting beside me, and said, "help the company commander deal with the wound. His injury is not light."

"Yes With a promise, the health worker came to isayev and helped him deal with the wound. He first disinfected the wound with alcohol. Isayev was so painful that he even inhaled air, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted that he didn't cry out. After picking out the dirty things in the wound with tweezers, the health worker began to sew the wound with special needle and thread. When I saw the health worker doing all this, I got goose bumps all over my body, but it's not good to leave at this time, so I can only continue to watch. When the health worker took out a roll of bandage and began to bandage, I was relieved and ran back to my original position.

The three anti tank guns of the artillery company were finally assembled and pushed to the street by the soldiers to shoot directly at the German tanks. By this time, the firepower points on both sides of the street had been almost destroyed by the German army, and the remaining soldiers of the second company could not stop the German army's massive attack.

The first round of the anti tank gun broke the track of the tank. The tank, which was moving forward, immediately began to turn around in the same place and glided forward in a circle. Then it crashed into a wall and stopped, revealing only the back half of the body. The stopped tanks are much easier to hit than the moving targets. The artillery's new round of shooting all hit the targets, and the tanks immediately emitted heavy smoke. It seems that this time they are completely exhausted.

Without the cover of the tanks, the German infantry appeared to be coming out, bending over and shouting, rushing to our position and shooting at the same time. Several artillery soldiers holding shells and preparing to be loaded were hit by the dense bullets of the enemy. They shook their bodies and fell to the ground.

Facing the fierce enemy, the soldiers in the guard platoon and the artillery who took up arms, hiding in the ruins and bunkers, opened fire together, and I tried my best to pull the trigger of the submachine gun. In the process of shooting, I could clearly see that countless blood was constantly exploding in the charging crowd. When the enemy rushed 20 meters away from us, they fell down one after another. In the face of our intensive firepower, the German army still rushed forward regardless of casualties.

Seeing this, I couldn't help thinking that when there were tanks covering just now, the German army didn't attack so madly. The tanks were knocked down by us, but they rushed forward recklessly. It's a hell of a thing.

"Comrade commander, we have come to help you." When I heard this familiar voice, I knew it was Lukin without looking back.

When he was lying down beside me and shooting, I asked him in a loud voice, "what's the matter with you?"

"Comrade lieutenant, I'm afraid you can't withstand the German attack, so let me bring two platoons of soldiers to support you."

In such a dense formation, there is almost no need to aim when shooting. As long as you aim at that place and pull the trigger, you can hit the target. Three or four hundred light and heavy weapons opened fire together, forming a dense fire net. From time to time, grenades and shells exploded in the crowd. It was a complete one-sided massacre.

After the rest of the German army retreated, we stopped shooting. At this time, the streets were full of dead bodies, and the whole street was soaked in blood. I saw that there were at least 400 German soldiers killed in front of me. I've never seen the German army fight such a stupid battle, and I don't know what their commander thought. In the face of our intensive firepower, they even adopted the stupid method of using people to fill in.

"What happened to the German army today? This kind of play is just death. " My voice was a little trembling and said to Lukin beside me.

"Yes Lukin also didn't understand the German performance. He frowned and thought about it. Then he shook his head and said, "I can't think of it. It's estimated that the German commander is crazy. That's why he made such a crazy move."

"I know! I know! " When we were puzzled, isayev with bandage on his face climbed over and said excitedly, "I know why the German army is attacking so hard."

"Why?" Lukin and I asked in unison.

"Listen

I listened. There was a lot of gunfire in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer to us. I sat up straight and said, "yes, there are guns in the distance."

"Ha ha, I know what's going on." Lukin was excited, too.

"What's going on? You two don't play riddles, just tell me! " What I heard was confused. I was very dissatisfied with them, so I was not polite.

"Come on, isayev, don't beat around the bush with the commander. Tell her the real reason why the enemy is crazy." Lukin said to isayev with a smile“ Say I turned to isayev again. He coughed and then asked me, "Comrade commander, when you heard the gunfire, didn't you hear anything else?"“ No, All I heard was gunfire in the distance, nothing else“ In addition to the sound of gunfire, "isayev was afraid that I would be angry. This time, he did not go around the circle again, but said directly," there was also the sound of shouting "Wula", that is to say, our army was carrying out a counter offensive in the city. The sound is getting closer and closer to here, which means that the German army has been unable to resist and is ready to withdraw from the city. "“ Oh, I see. " Only then can I understand why the German army just made such a crazy move, adding: "the retreat of the German army was blocked by us. In order to avoid being encircled and annihilated, they attacked regardless of casualties, trying to open a channel from here and let the troops withdraw from wolokramsk."“ Yes, I guess that's why. " Isayev nodded and replied, "maybe they will start attacking again later."“ The German devils are coming up. " Aji yelled at the side. I looked into the street, and the German army in the distance was moving slowly towards us along the street against the corner“ Crow mouth I secretly scolded Ishayev in my heart, and then yelled at the soldiers hiding around me: "all attention! The German devils are coming up, ready to fight
