Chapter 244

The smoke from the explosion of dozens of shells raised a smoke in front of the position and covered all the four or five German tanks. Because it has not entered the effective range of infantry, the position is still silent.

Without waiting for the smoke to be dispersed by the wind, the second and third artillery shells fell mercilessly in the German attack line, immediately enveloping them in a sea of fire.

I picked up the microphone to get through to major Xie Dulin of 1075 regiment. I ordered him loudly: "Comrade major, hurry up and move your regiment to the front. The attack later depends on your regiment playing the leading role."

"I see, sir!" Major shedulin replied loudly, "I'll get the troops ready at once."

Then I gave another order to major panishev of the 1077 Regiment: "Comrade major, your regiment, as a reserve, will stay in the second line of defense for the time being."

"But, sir." Major panishev complained to me: "our regiment's officers and men can do more things, but they have participated in every battle. Now let them participate in the battle passively, I'm afraid that everyone's mood will have problems."

"Comrade major," I said in a tone of teaching, "are you in the mood? You know, in a war, no matter what division of labor is equally important - whether it's the main attack force or the reserve force. I regret to remind you of this. Do you understand what would happen if the 1073 and 1075 regiments failed to block the enemy's crazy attack and let them break into our defense line? Who's going to stop them? "

Although my tone was severe, I still kept on pestering and wanted to get important tasks from me. He said with a smiley face: "even if the whole regiment can't take part in the attack, even if one of them is selected to take part in the counterattack?"

I'm so angry and funny. You think this is a vegetable market. You can bargain freely. So I said impolitely, "Comrade major, obey the order. When it's time for you to join the group, I'll let you join naturally. " Then he hung up without waiting for him to speak.

The political commissar said with a smile: "the fighting mood of the soldiers is very high. It seems that it will be very uncomfortable for them to let the 1077 regiment be the reserve team in the back and let them watch the other troops teach the Germans a lesson."

Chief of staff sherebriyakov also said: "yes, because yesterday the 1077 regiment was on foot. When they arrived at the battlefield, the battle was already over. The soldiers are holding their strength to teach the bandits a lesson. "

The political commissar, deputy division chief and chief of staff gathered around and began to chat. Instead of participating in their topic, I stood in front of the lookout hole to watch the enemy situation in front of me.

The smoke on the battlefield was dispersed by the wind, and the effect of the artillery attack just now clearly appeared in my telescope. Nine of the enemy's tanks were directly destroyed and were burning in place. And the other two tanks, which were fast approaching our army, had been emitting thick smoke on their bodies.

When we were still 70 or 80 meters away from our army's position, the tank was completely lying down. From the cockpit of the tank, we could see several black figures, one after another falling on the charred snow. Rolling and crawling, suddenly falling down, suddenly standing up, stumbling backward and running towards the armored transport vehicle in the distance.

German armored transport vehicles were also destroyed, and the rest quickly drove up. Except for two tanks that escaped from the front, the rest of the armored vehicles drove to the place tens of meters away from the front of our army. The soldiers on the vehicles jumped from the vehicles to the ground one after another and launched a scattered attack on our army.

There was a lot of gunfire and the machine guns roared. The whole 1073 regiment opened fire. A row of German soldiers in front of the charge were immediately knocked down by the dense bullets. The rest of them quickly fell on the ground and fired against our army. And the armored car also relies on its thick armor, while firing slowly approaching our army.

But without waiting for the armored car to get close, several rockets with white smoke flew out of our army's trench, hit the armored car impartially, penetrated the armor that could not be penetrated by bullets, and turned the vehicle into burning scrap iron.

Chisjakov, who came to me, happened to see this exciting scene and couldn't help saying with emotion: "it's better to use the weapon supported by the US allies. With this kind of rocket launcher, our soldiers can kill the enemy's tanks by hiding in the trench, which is much easier to use than the anti tank gun."

I turned around and looked at him, and I agreed with him very much. In the case of the large-scale relocation of the arms factory to the rear and the normal production, if there is no large amount of weapons assistance provided by the United States, it is a question whether the Soviet army can block the German attack.

As I was about to speak, chisgakov suddenly pointed to the front without a telescope and cried out, "look, our tanks are coming up, and the leading tanks are still carrying flags."

When the political commissar and the chief of staff came to grab the telescope with him, I could see clearly that the tanks advancing rapidly in formation in the distance were all Soviet style T-34 tanks, and there were a large group of cavalry in black cloaks behind the tanks. There's no doubt that the 16th army is following.

I rushed to the table, picked up the receiver, called major shedulin's 1075 regiment, and loudly ordered him, "Comrade major, it's time. Our troops are coming up from behind the enemy. Your regiment will attack immediately. We must annihilate all the enemy in front of the position. " The loud bugle sounded, and the charging troops leaped from the trench and rushed towards the enemy. Some soldiers even rushed straight forward, trying to rush to the front of the enemy as soon as possible and fight face to face with them.
