Chapter 310

At my command, the shooter stopped shooting decisively. After all, I was their familiar superior commander. When the shooting stopped, they seemed to think that it was the commander with a higher rank than me who gave the firing order. They could not help feeling a little at a loss, and their eyes kept moving rapidly between me and Lieutenant Colonel habi.

"Comrade oshanina, who gives you the right to order the machine gun shooter to stop shooting?" Colonel hobby rushed up to me, his eyes burning out and yelling at me.

I pointed to the troops who were retreating to the front and said, "those are our soldiers. We can't shoot at them. This will kill them all."

"They're all cowards," said Lieutenant Colonel Harpy, pointing to the soldiers. "Don't you see that they all escaped from German positions?"

"It doesn't matter if the attack is frustrated, we can organize the attack again. Kill them all. Who will fight with the Germans? " Instead of being intimidated by the tone of Colonel harpy's voice, I argued with him.

"Can you get them to stop retreating and attack again?"

"Yes I answered very simply.

"Well, I'll let you command and see how to make them attack again."

In the short time that I had quarreled with colonel habi, the soldiers were only about 200 meters away from the trench. I gave the order to the two machine gun shooters with blank faces: "aim at their feet and let them stop."

For my order, the two shooters immediately understood, lowered the muzzle and pulled the trigger on the open space between us and the soldiers. When the sound of the local sound into a splash of shells rolling down to my feet.

Dense bullets hit the ground, stirring up the soil. The retreating soldiers stopped and jumped into craters or anti tank trenches to avoid German mortars.

Seeing that our attack had stopped, the German artillery had stopped, and silence had returned to the battlefield.

"What are you going to do next?" Colonel harpy asked coldly.

"Give them more ammunition and let them attack again." After answering the commander, I turned to yemeryanov, who had been standing beside me, and said, "Comrade chief, you take the soldiers of the guard class and carry some boxes of bullets to them." After thinking about it, he added, "give them two more boxes of grenades."

Yemeryanov took six soldiers from the guard class with his rifles on his back. One of them carried two ammunition boxes, jumped out of the trench, bent over and ran quickly to the anti tank trench.

"If you can give them some more bayonets, even if there are only 100, they will have a better chance of winning in hand to hand combat." I looked at the soldiers of the Anti Japanese League hidden under the array and said to myself.

"Lieutenant miducci," I heard commander Haby's voice suddenly, "there are bayonets on the truck down the hill. You take people down to get them and send them to those people in front of the position."

When I saw lieutenant miducci walking down the hill with the group of commanders who had just followed habi, I couldn't help but look at habi gratefully. As soon as I wanted to speak, there was the rumble of guns in the distance.

"Where did the gunfire come from?" Asked hobby.

"The German army is shelling the position of the 131st regiment again. It seems that they are ready to attack again." I have been in the position for more than a month, and now I can judge the German movement as soon as I listen to the direction of the gunfire.

Looking through the telescope, the Soviet position was being heavily shelled by the German army. At the beginning, smoke plumes rose one after another from the positions. From time to time, we could see the pieces of wood, human limbs and weapon parts smashed by the explosion. They were lifted into the air by the air waves and quickly fell down again. As the shelling proceeded, the plume rose more and more, and soon the whole position was shrouded in black smoke.

"If only we could support them." Said hobby to himself as he looked.

"Comrade commander, there is nothing we can do about it." I explained to him, "our position here is too far away from the 131 regiment, and we have no heavy weapons to provide them with firepower support. In addition, after April, the ice on the lake has melted. Without boats, we can't get to the other side of the lake, nor can we talk about military support. "

"I know all about that," commander habi put down his telescope and turned his attention again to the group of "Anti Japanese Alliance" soldiers in front of the position. He pointed with his hand and said, "if we can make them attack again, maybe we can relieve some pressure on the other side of the 131 regiment."

At this moment, yemeryanov came panting in front of me, raised his hand and reported to me, "Comrade major, the ammunition has been distributed. Waiting for your next order

"And the bayonet? Has it been distributed? " I can't wait to ask.

Yemeryanov turned to point down and said, "it's all done. You see, major miducci, they're going up. " I followed the direction of his hand and saw that miducci and a dozen commanders were walking towards the position.

When I heard that the ammunition had been distributed, I felt a lot more secure. I immediately told yemeryanov: "Comrade chief, please go again and let the soldiers below launch another attack. We must tell them that in the battle, we have to run in one direction, move forward and charge." With that, I gave him a gentle push, "go ahead, let them act immediately."

The old man climbed out of the trench again and ran down the hill alone.

Seeing his coming again, many soldiers covered with mud came out of the crater and anti tank trench. Several soldiers, who should know Russian, ran to him and nodded after a brief communication.

When the sergeant turned and returned to the position, the new attack formation had begun to organize.

Several soldiers shouting something, originally hiding in the crater and anti tank trench soldiers have stood up, quickly in a few people around the formation of a few loose attack formation. There were almost 400 of them before the charge. After the battle, there were less than 200 left.

Almost as they stepped forward again, a neat song came out of the line. The wind sent the song to the trench. I was stunned when I heard the song. It's not a Chinese song. Aren't they from the 88th international brigade? Listen carefully again, the melody is very familiar, according to this melody, the lyrics clearly appear in my mind: under the morning glow, as far as you can see, ups and downs endless, a few mountains and rivers, our elite army is strong, the allies are all healthy, full of glorious Kwantung Army.

When I think of the lyrics, I shiver. Those who are charging are not the Anti Japanese soldiers, but the elite Japanese Kwantung Army! I grabbed commander habi's clothes, pointed to the soldiers and asked incoherently, "Comrade commander, are those Japanese? What on earth is... What's going on? "

Lieutenant Colonel habi replied faintly, "of course, it's the Japanese army, otherwise, who do you think it is?"

"Isn't it the 88th international tour?"

"Of course not. The 88th international brigade is composed of Chinese comrades' anti Japanese forces, and these people on the battlefield are the enemy. "

"Ah?! Where did they come from? " All of a sudden, the eastern army appeared on the Soviet German battlefield, and it was on the Soviet side, which made me unable to accept this reality in a short time.

"These people were captured in the battle of Zhang Gufeng and nomenhan."

"All prisoners of war?" I asked tentatively.

"It's not a prisoner of war, it's just an enemy who has laid down his arms." Commander habi was still indifferent. "Let their allies destroy them."

Standing on the left side of each line, it should be the Japanese commander. They yelled at their subordinates while they were marching. The commander led the soldiers forward, and the rows of bayonet rifles were moving forward.

I felt faint in my heart that it was a risky decision to let the Kwantung Army attack the Germans. If they were to rebel, I would have to be sent to the military court.

Only 300 meters away from the forest, the German mortar fired again. Every explosion of the shell falling in the crowd will make a ball of flesh and blood rise. As soon as someone falls in the front row, someone immediately moves forward to fill the position. The whole team was still advancing at a constant speed in the fire.

When they were within 200 meters, the Germans began to attack. The battle just now made them despise the attacking troops in front of them. They thought they were vulnerable. A dozen German soldiers rushed out to capture the prisoners.

At this moment, the Kwantung Army opened fire. In a volley, several German soldiers fell. Then the skilful tactics of the Kwantung Army dazzled me.

After they fired, they did not continue to charge forward in a swarm, but fell down in the crater. Almost at the same time when they were lying down, the gunfire suddenly sounded like peas. The German soldiers who were retreating were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another. Of the dozen soldiers who rushed out just now, only one escaped back.

Seeing that the enemy who came out of the position had been destroyed, they jumped out of the crater and rushed down with shouts. Although the morale of these Japanese soldiers is like a rainbow, the number of them is too small. The momentum of the attack is really average.

When they were 50 or 60 meters away from the edge of the forest, the German heavy and heavy machine gun fire pushed them back into the crater. Dense bullets whizzed past the crater. As soon as anyone came up, he could not escape the fate of being shot. The Japanese couldn't rush up, but the Germans just suffered a dumb loss, and they didn't dare to rush out any more. The battle fell into a stalemate.

Just at this time, a strange lieutenant commander came up to lieutenant colonel habi and said, "Comrade commander, the artillery company of the regiment has been ordered to come and wait for your order."

"Comrade lieutenant, you are just in time." Habi pointed to the 131 regiment position on the other side of the lake and said, "the Germans are attacking our position. Your company's mission is to intercept the attacking Germans with artillery fire. Do you understand? "

"I understand!" The artillery Lieutenant saluted and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." I stopped the artillery lieutenant, regardless of the surprise on his face, and pleaded with colonel habi: "Comrade commander, I ask you to let the artillery company bombard the German positions in the forest to cover the attack of those soldiers."

"No way!" "The task of the artillery company is to provide artillery cover for the 131st regiment," habi said firmly

"But, comrade commander. You see, "I said, pointing to the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who could not lift their heads in the crater on the edge of the forest and were suppressed by the fire," as long as the fire destroyed the fire points on the German positions, those soldiers might rush up and seize the enemy positions. "

Hobby looked at the opposite battlefield, lost in thought. The artillery Lieutenant raised his telescope for a moment, then reported to habi, "Comrade commander, as long as two volleys, we can destroy the German firepower."

"Are you sure?" Colonel harpy asked tentatively.

"I'm sure. I have just observed the firing data The artillery Lieutenant said yes.

"Then get ready!"

The artillery Lieutenant got the order, saluted the commander and ran away.

The commander looked at me and said, "I can provide artillery support, but you have to make sure you can take German positions."

"I'll take people up myself." Forced to this step, it seems that I can only do it myself.

"Comrade major, I'd better go." I was followed by lieutenant ugad. Before I could answer, he turned around and ordered, "Lieutenant miducci, take your platoon and follow me."

As ugad approached the middle of the battlefield with miducci platoon soldiers, the regimental artillery company fired. A test fire landed seven or eight meters away from the German position. Before the smoke of the gunpowder was dispersed, the first round of salvo shells fell on the German position.

The artillery companies of the regiment are equipped with small caliber guns with small lethality, but they are more than enough to deal with the German army with only mortars. The flying shrapnel had just cut off the branch of the tree, and the ensuing shells broke a big tree in the middle. From time to time, fire and smoke rose from the German position. The German firepower thinned out.

After only two rounds of salvo fire, the artillery company stopped firing and turned the fire to the other side of the lake to stop the German troops attacking the 131st regiment.

As soon as the German firepower was suppressed, the well-trained soldiers of the Kwantung Army immediately opened fire and fired back, rifles crackling. Then he jumped up and rushed over. When they were more than ten meters away from the position, they stopped and threw a round of grenades. The smoke of the explosion had not dispersed, and they had rushed into the trench with rifles.

Major o'shanina Seeing the soldiers of the Kwantung Army attacking the forest, commander habi, who had been silent, suddenly said, "go to the front line, too. Even if you have captured the German position, you don't have to leave someone to guard it. Withdraw. Your battalion is too small and has no heavy weapons to guard there. "

"Yes I promised to call yemeryanov and get ready to go.

"Remember, we must hold this army. Don't let them run to the German side."

"Yes! Make sure you get the job done. " I saluted Lieutenant Colonel Harpy, rolled out of the trench and ran to the forest.

By the time I got to the edge of the forest, the whole battle was coming to an end. The positions were filled with Japanese shouts, gunshots and grenade explosions. The platoon with ugard and miducci stayed outside the forest, squatting in the crater, using pistols, rifles and submachine guns to eliminate the German soldiers who climbed out of the trench and wanted to escape.

At the end of the battle and the beginning of cleaning the battlefield, two soldiers of the Kwantung Army came to me. Report to me in broken Russian: "Comrade commander, we have captured the position and wiped out all the enemies. I'm waiting for your further instructions. "

When I look at these two soldiers of medium build, I have mixed feelings. All along, I have been imagining that if the German army and the Japanese Army meet on the battlefield, who will win the final victory. After today's battle, I can see that the German army won because of its good weapons and equipment, but the Japanese army has a strong will to fight. In the case of equal strength and equipment, the German army is by no means an opponent of the Japanese army. Although I have always been disgusted with the Japanese pirates, they are in the same camp as us at the moment, so I can't be too indifferent to them. So I tried to keep calm and asked them, "what's your name?"

The bearded soldier on the left replied, "captain of the Kwantung Army, kitaoku."

The handsome soldier on the right said, "my name is park Chun Jung. I'm Korean."

I nodded without expression and said, "you've done a good job. Gather the troops together, go back to the hillside first, drink some water, eat something, and have a good rest. "

After they saluted me, they turned around and summoned their subordinates to go to the hillside with guns on their shoulders. After a brutal battle, there were less than 80 people left in the original team of 400 people. In order to prevent misunderstanding, I asked lieutenant miducci to accompany them back.

After cleaning the battlefield, Lieutenant ugad came to me and whispered, "Comrade major, the battlefield has been cleaned. Kill the Germans, 48 in one infantry platoon and 9 in three mortar groups. One mortar and five boxes of shells, one light machine gun, three submachine guns and eleven rifles were seized. There are no prisoners. "

"No prisoners?" I stared at him and asked strangely, "why?"

Wugad nuzui to the back of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army, said: "this group of Japanese attack too hard, even the German wounded also did not let go, even if they raise their hands to surrender, they will be mended gun, bayonet." Looking at the troops of the departing soldiers of the Kwantung Army, I secretly reminded myself to be more cautious of these people. They are a double-sided blade. If they are used well, they can help themselves; But if they are not careful, maybe they will turn around and stab us in the back“ Major, what shall we do next? " Ugard interrupted my meditation, and he couldn't wait to ask, "do you need to keep lieutenant miducci's platoon in this position?"“ No, I don't I waved my hand and repeated what commander Haby had just said, "we are too small and lack of heavy weapons to defend. Take the booty and we'll leave! "“ Yes Ugad agreed in a loud voice.
