Chapter 115

I couldn't bear to continue to look, so I squatted down, turned around, sat on the ground with my back close to the earth wall, looked up at the roof made of big logs, and my nose was sore. Although I tried to hold back my tears, when I thought of the tragic death of thousands of soldiers, I burst into tears and fell on my clothes drop by drop down my cheek.

"Rita, don't be sad. It's a war. There will always be sacrifices." Rokosovsky found my difference, bent down and patted me on the shoulder, comforted me and said, "remember these brave soldiers, they are all from the 17th Cavalry Division in Central Asia."

"Yes, although the cavalry have been sacrificed, the sacrifice is valuable. At least it can inspire the morale of the defenders outside and give them the courage to continue fighting." General zaharov echoed.

"Courage When I heard this word, I couldn't help laughing bitterly. My heart said: those soldiers squatting in the trenches were probably scared to death by the massacre just now. Maybe there were people who were scared to pee their pants. However, due to the harsh military law of the Soviet army, they didn't flee again. From his heart, rokosovsky was one of the few commanders in the Soviet army. He only cared about how to block the enemy '.

Rokosovsky went to the table, grabbed the phone on the table, shook the handle a few times, and then said to the microphone, "I'm the commander. Get me major general kazakov." The phone was soon connected, and I heard him ask aloud, "Comrade kazakov, what's the situation over there?"

As soon as I heard that it was the artillery commander, I immediately became interested. Under the current situation, if we can get the support of the artillery, our defense will get twice the result with half the effort. General kazakov, who was opposite the microphone, said aloud, "Comrade commander, the cold has frozen the swamp because of the drop in temperature. The German tanks and mechanized regiments gained freedom of movement. These tanks have bypassed our defensive settlements and moved along the groves and bushes. "

"What measures have you taken?"

"We sent the mobile artillery company, part of the artillery and tanks to fight back. They intercepted the tanks of the Communist Party and directed them head on. The engineers played a good role in fighting against the enemy's "wandering" tank groups. They used cars to lay mines on the roads the enemy might drive. This has achieved good results. Hitler's bandits have to pay a great price for every advance in our land. They have lost a lot of technical equipment and weakened their assault force. "

"When will the 289th anti tank regiment I need arrive at the defense area of the 107th motorized chemical division?"

"Comrade commander, although the enemy has suffered a head-on attack from us, their strength is still very strong, and they continue to carry out attacks without interruption. The 289th regiment is fighting and can not withdraw from the fighting for the time being... "

"No way!" Rokosovsky roared, interrupted him, and then said firmly: "now the German armored forces have wedged into the joint of our group army and the 30th group army. We lack the necessary anti tank forces. It is very difficult to repel them. I order you to immediately find a way to remove major yevremenko's 289th regiment from your position. An hour later, I hope to see him in the command post of the 107 division. " With that, he hung up.

As soon as rokosovsky put down the phone, a new round of German attack began.

A huge engine roared, and the German tanks and armored vehicles, which had been standing still, stepped up the accelerator, crossed the trench and rushed forward. The German infantry also crawled out of the trench, armed in a loose formation, and charged behind the tanks.

With the approaching of the German army, there was a lot of gunfire on our defense line. The machine guns, submachine guns and rifles in the trenches opened fire together, forming a dense fire network. After several people were knocked down one after another, the German infantry who had just been swaggering had to lie on the ground. At first, we could only hear the sound of intensive gunfire and machine gun fire, but soon the sound was overpowered by the sound of shell explosion. It was the tank in front of us firing.

A tank shell exploded near the command post, and the earth on the roof fell to me. I shook my head to get rid of the dust on my hat, and continued to look out with my telescope. I saw that the tanks were not far away from the trench, firing with artillery and machine guns. The German soldiers who were still lying on the ground just now got up and slowly gathered behind the tanks.

Seeing this situation, I couldn't help asking lokosovsky standing beside me loudly: "Comrade commander, what should we do now?"

"We must find a way to block them," rokosovsky said solemnly. "There are no troops behind us. If we don't eliminate these tanks, our defensive troops will be destroyed, and the road to Moscow will be opened, which is the dream of the enemy." At this point, he turned to the back, and the group of staff members stood shouting: "go to a man, go to the trench and command the soldiers to destroy the enemy's tanks with anti tank grenades and flasks." Hearing what he said, the staff in the command post looked at each other, and there was not even a volunteer.

"I'll go!" I put down my telescope, bent down and grabbed the submachine gun against the dirt wall, shot the staff in the room with disdainful eyes, and then walked out with great strides.

"Rita, wait a minute." Rokosovsky called me from behind. I stopped and looked back. He came up to me, put his hands on my shoulders, patted me gently, and said with concern, "we must come back alive!"

I grinned and replied, "I will, comrade commander." After the ceremony, he turned around and rushed out of the command post and ran to the direction of the trench.

As soon as I ran out of the forest, I heard the roaring sound of shells. I fell down on the spot. Then a shell exploded not far from the right side, and the mud and snow fell on me. Just want to get up, and heard the sharp whistling of shells, can only continue to lie on the ground, this shell fell in front of my left four or five meters away from the explosion.

Seeing that the explosion point of the shell was very close to me, I guessed that I was found by the German tanks. I clearly know that if I stand up at this time, it may become the target of shells or machine guns; But if you continue to lie here, you may still be killed by the ensuing shells. It's safer to venture forward and enter the trench.

I crawled forward with my hands and feet. As soon as I got near the crater, I quickly rolled to the left and directly rolled in. As soon as I rolled into the crater, the two shells fell back and forth in the position where I stayed for the last second. I had a thrill. If I hadn't made a quick decision just now, I might have been blown to pieces by now.

After a while, I didn't hear any more shells coming, so I leaned carefully on the edge of the pit and looked out. The muzzle of the German tank pointed to the trench again. I looked at the nearest trench, which was only ten meters away. If I ran there, it would take ten seconds, but I was afraid that the German army would find it again. If the shells and bullets came together this time, I would die very ugly. Hesitated again and again, still took the way of climbing, although a little slower, but the safety factor is higher.

I crawled out of the crater. Every two or three meters forward, I would roll to the left or right. Even if I was found by the German soldiers, the bullet would not easily hit me.

When I jumped into the trench, I felt that my vest was wet with sweat. Although it was only a few tens of meters, if there was a mistake in the middle of the way, I would have lost my life.

Under the command of the company platoon leader, the soldiers in the trench rushed out to shoot and drop bombs as hard as they could, keeping the attacking German troops at a distance of 20 meters. If the German tanks were not there to make our army helpless, we would have launched a counter charge.

The trench is more than half a person deep. If I bend over and run, I don't have to worry about being hit by stray bullets. I ran to a captain who was shooting with a rifle. I crouched down and told him, "Comrade captain, I'm lieutenant o'shanina."

The captain heard my voice and fired two shots at the outside. Then he squatted down, grabbed his rifle with his left hand, raised his right hand and saluted me, saying, "Comrade commander, the third company is fighting, please give us your instructions!"

"Boom!" A shell exploded at the edge of the trench, and the dust spread all over us. I shook my head, shook the mud off my hat, and then said, "the German tanks are too dangerous for us. You can send soldiers out to blow it up right away!"

"Yes The captain made a very frank promise. Seeing him bend over and run to one side to arrange the attack, I feel more secure. The reason why he was able to carry out my orders simply was that the Soviet regulations stipulated that the orders of the superior should not be discussed and must be carried out to the letter. In other words, even if I give the wrong order, they will follow the rules.

Soon a soldier climbed out of the trench and climbed forward in the face of the enemy's bullets. When he was more than ten meters away from the tank, he actually stood up, scared me out of a cold sweat and yelled to let him lie down and drop bombs. But my voice was completely covered by the gunfire, and he was beaten into a honeycomb without any suspense.

"Up again!" The captain continued to give orders beside me, so another soldier climbed out.

This soldier had more elves than the soldier just now. He climbed to the place about ten meters away from the tank and stopped. He raised his hand sideways and threw out an anti tank grenade. But I soon regretted that he threw it too lightly, and the grenade fell two meters away from the tank and exploded. Seeing that he didn't hit the target, he turned to his side again, raised his hand forward, and another white eyed grenade flew out. This time, with a little more strength, he flew over the tank and fell into the infantry line behind, directly blowing up several German soldiers to pieces.

"Alas! It's missed again The captain said regretfully, "if I don't make any more shots, I'll have to send someone else."

"Why?" I'm curious how the captain said that all of a sudden.

"Because he only carried three grenades."

"Oh." I realized what was going on, and then I continued to look at the soldier who was going to blow up the tank.

The soldier learned from the mistakes of the first two rounds, corrected the direction, and then dropped the grenade for the third time. The grenade made a beautiful arc in the air and hit the turret accurately. After the explosion, smoke billowed from the tank“ Great Seeing the tank destroyed, the captain clapped the earth wall excitedly and cheered loudly. The soldiers who bombed the tanks had no grenades and no weapons. All they could do at this time was to withdraw to the trenches. Unexpectedly, he stood up and ran to this side. The German soldiers found him, and many guns fired at him. No matter how fast a man runs, he cannot run a bullet. I saw him running, suddenly his upper body tilted back, and then he fell straight on the snow, lying there and did not move. In other parts of the trench, when we saw that a tank had been destroyed, we immediately understood and sent people to attack one after another. Although we paid a great price, we also destroyed several tanks. The tanks were bombed one after another, and the German army was worried. The remaining tanks and armored vehicles started again and stormed over. Although our army organized many soldiers to bomb tanks, as soon as they got out of the trench, they were knocked down by the infantry following the tanks. Seeing the German tanks getting closer and closer to us, I couldn't help but ask: can't the position be held?
