Chapter 212

Hundreds of people chanted "Wula!" in unison, At that moment, I even had the impulse to take the lead in charge. Fortunately, I finally held back.

I was supported by Yushchenko and others to walk down from the tank armor plate, while bukov stood in my position and continued to do the agitation work. As soon as the shouting stopped, he immediately cried out, "listen to my command, all of us have bayonets!" With his shouts, the soldiers standing around the tank took bayonets from their waists and inserted them into their rifles. Bukov saw the soldiers ready, nodded, turned back, said a few words to bunyachenko, who had already got into the tank and only showed half of his body, and jumped off the tank.

Buniachenko looked around and saw that the bayonets were shining in the sunlight. He raised his right hand and cried out: "for the motherland! For Stalin His answer was the earth shaking "Wula!" Sound. He turned his body and looked ahead. When the soldiers stopped shouting, he waved his right hand forward and cried out, "go ahead!"

With his shouts, a thick plume of smoke came out of the rear of his tank, and then the body of the tank rushed forward, taking the lead. The soldiers with bayonets and rifles were shouting and charging behind.

When the soldiers followed the tanks into the open, bukov and I came to the edge of the forest, where we built temporary wooden fortifications. This open-air fortification is half a man high, and there are more than a dozen soldiers left behind to take on the guard task. As soon as we went in, bukov handed me a pair of binoculars so that we could observe the situation here.

It's about 300 meters from the forest to the edge of the residential area. When the troops rushed over 100 meters, there was no movement from the German troops in the settlement. When the troops advanced to 200 meters, the German troops began to stop and shoot. First, the machine guns in the residential building, and then the armored vehicles parked outside the building also started to fire.

Under the intensive German fire, there were casualties in the front two platoons. This time, the militiamen did not rush forward like they did just now. Instead, they shot back on the ground.

Seeing the Germans start shooting, buniachenko retracts the turret and covers it. Then our four tanks stopped, turned their guns, and opened fire on the most powerful point of German fire. After a brutal battle, the surviving tank soldiers had excellent fighting quality. In the first round of shooting, they killed three German armored vehicles. Then two stopped at the same place and continued to fire at the German firepower, while the other two continued to push towards the residential area.

Seeing that the most dangerous armored vehicle was killed, the soldiers who had been lying on the ground got up again under the command of their company platoon leader, shouting and continuing to rush forward with weapons.

When the troops were only 50 meters away from the residential area, suddenly a shell flew out of the residential area and landed in the attack line. The soldiers near the explosion site were blown to pieces. Except those who were killed on the spot, the wounded who had not died for a while fell on the ground and screamed loudly, which made me feel unbearable hundreds of meters away.

As the first tank rushed into the residential area, some soldiers also rushed in. Seeing all this, bukov next to me continued to hold the telescope in one hand and waved it desperately in the other hand, shouting excitedly: "take it down! Brothers, take it down! Got Himki back! Comrade division, you see, the soldiers are rushing up. "

I looked at the constant stream of soldiers rushing into the residential areas, and the two tanks left in the periphery to clean up the German firepower with artillery. I laughed bitterly and didn't speak. In fact, I know very well in my heart that although our troops have already entered, it does not mean that we have taken back Himki. You know, what's going to happen next is the hardest street fight. In the narrow urban area, tanks can only play a limited role in street fighting. To solve the battle, we can only rely on infantry. We hope that the circuitous troops can join up with the positive troops as soon as possible.

"What? Himki is back! " A familiar voice suddenly sounded around me. I turned around and saw that it was the member of the people's committee just now. He excitedly said, "let me have a look!" Then he snatched the telescope from captain bukov's hand.

I looked at him discontentedly and wanted to say something about him. When I saw bukov next to me waving his hand desperately, indicating that I would not have any more conflicts with this member of the Committee. I hummed coldly and continued to take up the telescope to observe the war.

After a while, I heard captain bukov's voice: "comrades of the people's Committee, please don't stand so high. You should know that there may be enemy snipers in the residential area..."

I took the telescope away from my eyes and turned around. It turned out that kacheves base station was on a horizontal wood. Most of his body was exposed outside the fortification, and we were half shorter than him with only his head exposed. I looked at him and said bitterly in my heart, "you'd better let the German snipers kill you if you're such a nuisance!"

As soon as I thought of this, I vaguely heard the sound of the bullet breaking. Then kachevsky's head looked back and he fell down and hit the ground heavily.

Bukov rushed up and checked kashevsky a little. Then he shook his head and said to me, "Mr. division, he is hopeless. The sniper's bullet broke his skull."

"Carry it away!" I said faintly, and then raised the telescope to continue to observe the enemy, for me, such a person died, it is not worthy of sympathy“ Yes Bukov agreed, and then arranged for the soldiers to carry kashevsky's body out of the fortification.
