Chapter 319

I went up to diomi, lowered my head and asked angrily, "Captain, what's the matter?"

Diomi looked at me with a dull look and didn't seem to understand what I was saying. I repeated the words patiently, and then he pointed to the hillside and murmured, "it's over, it's all over."

"What's the end? What a mystery I bent down and picked up the telescope he had dropped on the ground. After checking it, I found that the lens was not broken, just stained with some dust. I photographed the pure land, raised my telescope and looked down the hill.

What came to my eyes was the battlefield a few miles away. To be exact, it was the battlefield that used to be. In this forest clearing, which is three or four kilometers long and one or two kilometers wide, there is no sound of guns or moving figures. The bodies in our army's uniform are all over the clearing near the north forest. There are many burned trucks and tanks in the middle of the battlefield.

I carefully looked at the battlefield, and found that there was barbed wire at the edge of the forest. The German trench was in the forest. In the trench, there were fire points of brick concrete structure, and many artillery positions. From the east to the west, the front of more than 1000 meters is full of the bodies of Soviet soldiers who died in various attitudes. The fallen bodies in front of the barbed wire are stacked layer by layer. We can imagine how fierce the fighting was at that time.

As the camera pulls back, the whole line of soldiers sitting on the board of the black frame trucks are burned to ashes. The drivers were still sitting at the wheel, blackened to charcoal. Seeing all this, I immediately realized that the stench in the air was the terrible smell of the soldiers' bodies being burnt.

My hand holding the telescope trembled slightly, and my mind seemed to play a movie, restoring this fierce offensive battle.

This breakthrough force, which I don't know who commanded, did not let the tanks open the way in front, but let thousands of soldiers, armed with bayonet rifles and singing the national anthem, attack the German positions. Behind them were nearly a hundred trucks full of soldiers. As a result, they became living targets for German tanks, artillery and machine guns. When all the infantry were lost, the tank troops slowly launched an attack, but without the tanks covered by infantry, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. When they walked around the burning trucks, they were hit by the German tanks, anti tank guns and anti tank infantry, and finally they were completely destroyed.

I don't think it's worth the soldiers who were burned alive in the truck. When there was a fire in the truck, they had a chance to jump and escape. However, strict military discipline does not allow them to do so. If they jump out of the car and escape without permission from their superiors, they will be shot and killed as deserters on the spot. As a result, they can only wait to die.

I slowly put down my telescope, took a few breaths, and tried to calm down the anger in my heart. As soon as the general was incompetent and tired to death, the commander in charge of the battle should go to the military court. The suicidal charge he launched has achieved the goal of suicide, but the attack has no effect at all, giving the Germans a chance to make contributions in vain. After this war, I don't know how many German officers and soldiers will be rewarded.

"Comrade major, comrade major." Ugad's voice came down the slope. I followed him and saw him and an officer walking up the slope.

"What's the matter?" What I saw just now made me feel bad, so I spoke in a very stern tone.

Wugad quickly came to me, stood at attention and saluted. The report said, "Comrade major, the division headquarters has sent a liaison officer. Let's hurry to the division headquarters."

After saluting me, the officer who followed lieutenant ugad also reported: "Comrade major, division commander, Colonel Anqiu fayev, has an order to make all the division's subordinate units quickly move closer to the division headquarters, which is an important combat task. He is afraid that you will get lost, so he specially asked me to be your guide. "

"I see. I'll order the team to go right away. Come on, Captain diomi, Lieutenant ugard. " My last sentence was to the two company commanders, but they didn't immediately agree with me.

When I looked back, ugad was holding up the standing diomi, staring at the battlefield in the distance. I coughed and raised my voice: "Captain diomi, Lieutenant ugard, let's go."

They woke up and agreed in a loud voice: "yes!"

Under the leadership of the liaison officer, the troops left the road, entered the forest and headed southeast.

Half an hour later, we arrived near the division headquarters. I asked the troops to stand by and then follow the liaison officer to report to the division commander.

The division headquarters was in a log cabin. Seven or eight commanders were standing against the wall. The division commander, anchufiev, was walking back and forth with his hands on his back. I hastened to stand at attention and said, "Comrade division commander, major oshanina, commander of the Third Battalion of the 1127th regiment, reports to you that our battalion has been ordered to come and wait for your orders."

"Why is there only one battalion, your commander?" The Colonel stopped and asked sternly.

"Report to division commander, our battalion is the first battalion, and the commander, political commissar and succeeding troops should arrive soon."

"What the hell is" should "? I don't want your hypothetical answer. I just want to know when they will arrive. " It seems that my teacher has always been prejudiced against me, so I'm not polite at all.

"I'm not sure, sir. You know, I'm just a battalion commander. There's only one battalion I can command. When will the main force of the regiment arrive? That's the answer the regiment leader and political commissar can give you. "“ So it is. It seems that I have wronged you. " The Colonel's tone softened a little. He went to the table, sat down, pointed to the crowd, and said, "come in, major." At his command, I quickly went over and stood close to a commander, waiting for the colonel to give orders. The Colonel took a deep breath on his stool, then stood up, walked up to us and said in a loud voice, "comrades, I have called you here because tomorrow our division will launch an attack on the German encirclement, which will open a channel for the group army to let the main force stand out."“ Sir, can I ask you a question? " There was a man's voice on the left. I turned around and found that the speaker was a lieutenant commander, probably a team leader, who could speak so casually“ Go ahead, commander Eugene. If you have any questions, just ask The Colonel seemed to know the man very well and spoke with a smile on his face. Eugene asked cautiously, "did the breakout under the command of general privalov yesterday succeed?" Colonel anchufiev's face immediately turned cold. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "failed. General privalov's troops have been destroyed. "“ Ah? " "How many thousands of them, even tanks and artillery, have died?" Eugene asked in surprise The Colonel nodded his head vigorously and said, "yes, because the strength of the bandits is too strong, our breakout troops have been fighting tenaciously, and finally all of them have died bravely. At the same time, more than a dozen guerrilla groups came to meet them. "“ What is the task of our division? Comrade teachers. "“ The task given to us by the headquarters of the group army is to concentrate the forces of the whole division and launch an attack on the German army in the southeast direction at 5 a.m. on the 18th, striving to open a channel along the narrow gauge railway and cover the main force of the group army to stand out from the encirclement. "“ Is there cover for fire? " Asked the commander. After listening to this question, the division commander shrugged his shoulders and replied with a bitter smile: "my comrade commander, no, nothing, no air force cover, no tank cover, even no basic artillery cover before the attack. We can only rely on the bayonets in the hands of the soldiers to make a way out of the enemy. "
