Chapter 136

At my command, the soldier's face was full of surprise. He couldn't help looking at leviagin. Leviagin, who was also puzzled, just frowned a little, and then told the soldiers, "didn't you hear the command of the division commander? Go and tell the troops. "

"Yes." The soldier agreed, his shoulders collapsed and went back to the command post to convey the order.

Watching the soldiers go away, leviagin asked, "the Krauts have been surrounded by us in the house. As long as the soldiers rush up, they can be wiped out. Why stop attacking at this time? If we don't take the time to eliminate them, we will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on both sides when their reinforcements arrive later. "

"I'm just waiting for their reinforcements." I replied disapprovingly.

"Ah?" He listened to my answer, startled, puzzled to ask: "why ah?"

Instead of answering his question directly, I pointed to the relatively complete building complex on the opposite side and asked him, "are there our soldiers' defenses in those buildings?"

He looked in the direction I pointed out, then nodded and said, "yes, I have arranged personnel defense in these places, and from the current situation, only part of them are attacked, and there are a considerable number of soldiers in the building guarding."

With a smile, I said, "if we just surround the enemy and do not destroy it, the enemy will soon send troops to reinforce us. And these defensive buildings are just on both sides of their only way. As soon as they enter the effective shooting range, we can launch new attacks on them and destroy the enemy who comes to help them. "

Leviagin listened to me, looked at me with a frown, and asked suspiciously, "will this work?"

"Yes, it will." I explained to him, "it's called round the corner. It will not be too difficult to eliminate these besieged enemies, but after all, it is a tough task. Even if we do, we will lose a lot. Now we have changed to encircle rather than attack, luring the enemy to send troops from other places to support them, while we ambush and annihilate them at selected locations. "

"Encircle the spot to help?" Leviagin, still skeptical, asked, "I've never heard of this tactic. Will it really work?"

"You can rest assured that my judgment will not be wrong." This tactic is so famous in later generations, it must have been tested by practice, so I confidently told him: "the troops in the March, no matter how well equipped, are very vulnerable. Coupled with the suddenness of our attack, it is entirely possible to inflict heavy damage on or annihilate all the enemy troops that have come to our aid. "

"Since you are so confident, let's wait and see." Hearing that I talked about this matter in such a positive tone, leviagin had no choice but to agree with my proposal.

Although I have ordered to stop the attack, the messenger has not yet passed the order to the combat forces, so the attack of the following forces continues.

The soldiers carried their weapons over the rubble and rushed to the building. The German soldiers in the building hid behind several windows, stretched out their weapons and shot at the soldiers frantically, causing the ground to fly. Several soldiers who had rushed into the range of the German army burst into blood and fell to the ground.

"Machine gun! Machine gun cover Seeing the soldiers' sacrifice, leviagin was heartbroken and yelled at the side. As soon as his voice fell, a machine gun beside him began to rattle. Dense bullets hit the wall of one of the windows. Bricks, stones and sawdust flew everywhere. The shooting behind that window stopped immediately.

After destroying the fire point, the machine gun turned to the next window“ Great Levi King slapped his hand on the window frame and exclaimed excitedly, "the machine gunner is really good. Let's fight like this..." just halfway through, I suddenly heard him say "ah". Turning to see, he has been sitting on the ground, is covering his forehead with his hand, blood flowing down his fingers.

Seeing that he was injured, I couldn't help feeling a little flustered. I squatted down and asked with concern, "Comrade General, what's the matter with you?"

He gave a wry smile and did not release his hand covering his forehead: "it doesn't matter. He was bitten by the enemy's stray bullet."

I looked around and saw that there were still a lot of soldiers around me. I cried out: "health worker, where is the health worker? Come to me quickly

A nearby soldier squatting at the window to observe the war situation, heard my cry, bent down and ran over, squatted in front of me, and loudly reported: "report commander comrade, I am a health worker, waiting for your order."

I looked at the medicine box on his shoulder and the Red Cross sign on his sleeve, and told him: "Comrade General is injured. Please bandage him as soon as possible."

"Yes The hygienist agreed, moved a few steps to leviagin and began to bandage him.

I carefully put my head out, raised my telescope to observe the situation, and found that our attack had been repulsed by the German army, and the soldiers had retreated, hiding behind the rubble and fighting with the German army in the building.

A soldier took a grenade from his body, pulled the fuse and threw it right through a window. However, unexpectedly, the grenade was immediately thrown out of the window by the German army and landed in the open space outside the window. A stream of mud and snow was blown up into the sky. The soldier took another grenade and burned the fuse again. This time, instead of rushing to throw the grenade in, he stayed for two or three seconds before throwing it out. This time, as soon as the grenade flew into the window, there was an explosion. In the light and smoke of the explosion, a German soldier was thrown out of the window by a wave of air, fell heavily on the ground outside, struggled twice, and then lay there motionless.

The soldier suddenly stood up and rushed forward with his rifle in his hand. Just as he approached the building, a grenade flying out of the window fell on his side. The air wave of the explosion raised him fiercely, whirled in mid air, and then fell heavily on the snow. At this time, my order was sent to the fighting forces. The soldiers who were eager to try stopped trying to attack and hid behind the rubble to guard“ How's it going? " Leviagin, with a bandage on his head, appeared next to me and asked with concern“ The troops have stopped attacking. " I sighed softly and said, "the enemy's resistance is very strong. The attack launched by our army just now has failed."“ What? " He said with some disbelief: "the soldiers who took part in the attack all had rich combat experience. The number of them was as many as 300. Can't they eliminate dozens of Germans in the building?"“ Look at it I pointed to the area where the fighting was going on and said to him, "there are nearly 100 bodies near the building. Except for a dozen left by the German army when they were defeated, the rest are all our soldiers who died." Seeing this, leviagin's mouth twitched violently and his hands were shaking. After a long time, he came back and stabilized his mood, then said to me: "I didn't expect that the resistance of the German guys is so tenacious. If we continue to attack, we will pay a more painful price. It seems that you are right. We really should only encircle but not attack, attract other enemies to reinforce us, and then find the right time to eliminate them. "“ Report Just now, the signalman bent over and ran quickly in front of us, and loudly reported: "according to the observation post, about 200 German soldiers, under the cover of two tanks and five armored vehicles, are rapidly advancing towards our area!"“ I see! " Before I could speak, leviagin had preempted the messenger: "tell the observation post to continue to observe, and report to the headquarters in time once there is any new situation!"“ Yes The signalman agreed loudly, turned and ran away. Leviagin looked at me, then said with a wry smile, "the German reinforcements are coming. There are still a lot of them. We are going to fight a tough battle next."
