The battle lasted nearly an hour, and all kinds of exciting news came back from time to time through the walkie talkie in the car.
"Sir, this is colonel chisgakov. My mixed regiment has occupied the south of the city and eliminated the enemy. At present, lomov is leading the troops to the west of the city... "
"Sir, I'm political commissar slavkin. After fighting, we have occupied the center of the city. Now the commander of the regiment, Lt. Col. mlakintsev, is taking the main force of the regiment to attack the east of the city and is ready to take over general priyev's cavalry... "
……
"Commander oshanina," I was called by general katukov. Perhaps his tanks were not running at high speed, so the voice was very clear: "all the German armored forces in the city have been destroyed by us. Except for a few buildings where German stormtroopers are shooting at us, we can no longer see the enemy's formed units. Our brigade has just occupied the north of the city and is clearing the enemy's firepower. Please send infantry to help as soon as possible. "
"Well, I'll inform Colonel chisjakov immediately and ask him to send troops to help you." After interrupting the communication with general katukov, I immediately got through to chisgakov again: "Comrade Colonel, general katukov has captured the north of the city. Please send an infantry unit to help him eliminate the enemy hiding in the building. In addition, the troops of the Cadet regiment have occupied the city center. When your troops pass by, you should pay attention to identification and avoid misunderstanding of firing with friendly forces. "
"I understand," chisgakov agreed very readily, "the resistance we encountered in the course of the attack was very weak. At present, the troops have occupied the west of the city and are cleaning up the remnant enemy. I immediately ordered major Kuleshov to bring a battalion to the support
I went to the door of the car and looked in the direction of Taiyangshan city. I listened to the explosions one after another and watched the red light from the burning buildings, which changed half the sky.
At the moment, the situation is going surprisingly well. Even if I just drove the enemy out of Taiyangshan city temporarily, my first attack after I took charge of the eighth division of Jinwei was brilliant, and I would be praised by the relevant departments of the higher authorities. At the moment, I was in a very good mood, but I don't know why I felt a little nervous.
Major dulov, who is good at observing words and expressions, found my uneasiness and began to flatter me in order to divert my attention: "Comrade division commander, judging from the war reports, our division is progressing smoothly. At present, it has occupied most of the city. As long as general priyev's cavalry can successfully recapture the three lost residential areas, it can quickly join our division. In this way, even if we can't wipe out all the enemy troops in the city, we can drive them out. The offensive battle you plan and command will be a great victory. "
When I heard the major say this, and when I thought of Zhukov's hint to me, I knew that this battle was related to my future, and I couldn't help getting more nervous. Looking at the battlefield in the distance, I took a deep breath. I felt that since the overall situation had been decided, there was no need to stay so far away from the battlefield. I should go to the city to have a look. So I decisively ordered: "Comrade major, let's go to the sun mountain city."
The major was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded and agreed. Then he ran to the door of the car and yelled out: "Captain Yushchenko, the division commander has an order to go to Taiyangshan city immediately."
With his command, the outside security forces began to shrink quickly and began to board the covered trucks that had been parked in the forest for a long time. Looking at the soldiers running back and forth outside, I can't help but change my attitude towards Yushchenko. He is worthy of being from the Ministry of interior, and is very experienced in guarding important targets. He not only sets up fixed sentries and patrols around the communication vehicles, but also sets up secret sentries in many places. Even if the enemy comes to sneak attack, he can organize effective resistance. If they had been the guards of the division some time ago, Mr. Panfilov would not have been sacrificed.
As there was a car to take the place of walking, it took less than ten minutes for our team to enter the sun mountain city. I look out from the car door, the sun mountain city is really not worthy of the name, not only there are no mountains, even there are no walls.
At this time, there was almost no explosion of shells in the city, only the incessant gunfire. After the car stopped steadily, I was stopped by Yushchenko as soon as I wanted to get off the bus. He said with a blank face: "Comrade division, although our army has occupied most of the Taiyangshan City, there are still many enemies who have missed the net and are hiding in the buildings in the city to shoot cold guns. For your safety, you'd better stay in the car. "
"Yes, Captain Yushchenko is right." Major dolov echoed him and said, "it's dark outside. You can't see clearly when you go out. You'd better stay in the car and direct the fight."
I was hesitating whether to stay in the car or to take the lead in running to the front line to shoot a few shots. Suddenly there was a roar of tank motors in the distance. Yushchenko under the car first yelled: "enemy tanks, prepare to fight!"
His voice scared me to death. According to my observation just now, our motorcade has no anti tank equipment at all. Just relying on the rifles, submachine guns and a few machine guns in the hands of the soldiers, we want to fight against the tanks. That's just death.
The soldiers quickly fell down on the spot and pointed their guns in the direction of the sound of Mada. Major dolov and Yushchenko, who were on the bus, got me off the bus and prepared to run into the burning building by the side of the road.
"It's our tank!" As soon as the coming tank was illuminated by the bright light, the sharp eyed soldiers immediately saw the model clearly. It was not the German tank, but the T-34 of the tank brigade. Dolov and his men also saw clearly that what was coming was their own tank. They stopped and let go of my hand. The tank stopped in front of the convoy, the hatch was opened, and a tall tank soldier jumped out of it. He asked in a loud voice, "where's your commander?" Dolov quickly stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "this is major dolov. What can I do for you?" The tank soldier jumped out of the tank and ran to him. After saluting, he reported, "Comrade commander, I'm from the tank brigade. After we occupied the north of the city, the brigade commander ordered us to turn around and support the infantry behind us. As a result, we met the enemy's anti tank men on the way. Three of our tanks have been destroyed. I came here specially to ask the infantry for help. Without the infantry to eliminate these annoying anti tank fighters, we can't move forward in the city. " By the time the tank man said this, I was in front of him. When he finished, I turned to dolov and Yushchenko and said, "order the troops to follow the tanks and destroy all the enemy's anti tank men."
