Chapter 423

I specially glanced at the ranks of the two men's collars, a captain and a captain. Their ranks are not as high as mine. It seems that when they fight later, they will all obey my command.

Talanzev pointed to me and introduced them to me. "This is lieutenant commander oshanina of the headquarters. She will be responsible for this counterattack. You should follow her command decisively."

After listening to tarantsev's introduction, the two officers gave me an unexpected look. Then, the captain tentatively asked in an uncertain tone: "Comrade brigade commander, you mean that this commander is here to command our operations, am I right?"

"Yes, comrade captain." I knew in my heart that if these people could not be convinced of me as soon as possible, it would be troublesome not to listen to my command on the battlefield later. So I took over the conversation before tarantsev spoke, "you heard me right. I came to command the counterattack on the order of the commander of the group army. But you don't have to worry that I will become a burden to you. I have participated in many cruel battles and have rich fighting experience. " At this point, I stopped for a moment, pointed to my own badge and chest medal, and then said: "my rank and medal were obtained in the battle."

After hearing what I said, the two officers glanced at each other from my badge and medal, with relaxed expressions on their faces.

At this time, commander tarantsev coughed and drew everyone's attention back to him. He asked me steadily, "Comrade commander, I'd like to ask, how do you plan to fight the attack later?"

"Yes, comrade commander." The captain echoed: "you must have seen the attack just now. The German army sealed the road of our attack with more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, and our commanders and fighters could not rush up. "

As for how to attack, I thought about it on the way here. I pointed to the German position and said, "it's about five or six hundred meters from us to the German position."

"Comrade commander, the exact distance is 620 meters." The captain, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly broke in and said, "if we still charge like we did just now, we will die before we reach the enemy's position."

After thanking the captain, I went on to say, "my plan is that the troops will first charge in a loose offensive formation. When they rush to the middle of the two positions, they will let the soldiers hide in the craters. With the dense craters of shells and bombs, they will cover the enemy positions alternately. When it's only 20 or 30 meters away from the trench, let the soldiers throw grenades to destroy the fire points that pose a great threat to us. "

After listening to my plan, tarantsev nodded and said with satisfaction, "Comrade commander, although your fighting method takes time, it can greatly reduce the casualties of the troops and increase the probability of seizing the enemy's positions." Speaking of this, he raised his head to the two commanders and said, "what are you still doing in a daze? Go and call up the platoon leader of your company to convey the commander's playing style, so that every soldier can have a clear idea."

After the two commanders left, tarantsev patted me on the shoulder and said with concern, "Lieutenant Commander oshanina, the danger of this attack is too great. If you want to go back, I'll go to the commander to intercede for you before you attack."

For his concern, I was very moved, but at the moment I was in a dilemma. Who let me talk so much that I would jump out of the court and bravely ask to command the counterattack in front of kolpakchi.

I gave a wry smile and replied, "Comrade division, I have participated in such battles many times. Although they are dangerous, they have all won in the end. I believe this counterattack will also win." In order not to make the atmosphere too dull, I intentionally changed the topic, "are all the attacking troops sailors?"

"No, there's only one company. The rest are the original infantry of the 192nd division."

"Comrade brigade commander, everything is ready!" Hearing the captain's cry in the distance, tarantsev reached out to me and said sincerely, "well, comrade commander, I wish you good luck! You must come back alive

The captain and the captain saw me trot to them along the trench, pulled out the pistol from the holster at their waist, raised it high above their heads, and cried out: "comrades, for the motherland! For Stalin! Come with me After shouting, he climbed out of the trench with his hands and feet and took the lead to rush to the opposite side.

I pulled out my pistol and just wanted to shout like them, but I saw that the commanders and fighters in the trench, after shouting "Wula" in unison, were all climbing out of the trench with their hands and feet, just like the two commanders. I looked around awkwardly and saw that everyone was running outside the trench. No one noticed me at all. I quickly put my pistol in the holster and followed them to climb outside the trench.

My orders were faithfully carried out, and when the offensive troops were two or three hundred meters away from the opposite position, they scattered and hid in those dense craters. After hiding in the crater for a while, the soldiers saw that there was no movement from the enemy, so they jumped up, jumped out of the hiding crater, ran for a few steps, and quickly jumped into another crater.

The German position was originally silent. Seeing that our commanders and fighters did not attack in a neat line as they had just done, they gradually approached their position by relying on numerous craters. They were so flustered that all the heavy and heavy machine guns were on fire.

When we are far away, the enemy's machine guns pose little threat to us. When we got close to 100 meters, the dense fire network of enemy machine guns put our soldiers in the crater and couldn't lift their heads. I saw a few brave sailors, jumping out of the crater, carrying rifles and bravely rushing towards the enemy's position. The German army immediately found them. A machine gun with a sudden fire turned around and shot them wildly. In just ten seconds, they were all knocked down by dense machine gun bullets. I peeked out of the crater and saw a tank with broken tracks ten meters away from my left front. I quickly climbed out of the crater and crawled to the tank. It was not until I got under the chassis of the tank that I breathed a sigh of relief. This position has a wide field of vision and is not easy to be hit by stray bullets. I can safely hide until the end of the battle. Just then, I heard a whistle coming from the side. I looked at it curiously. It turned out that the sound was from the captain hiding in the crater beside the tank. With his whistling, the whole position was filled with the whistling of rifle fire and machine gun fire. Seeing that the whistles were made by the sailors, I couldn't help frowning and said in my heart, when do you still have time to whistle. I'll never forget what happened next. The sailors who were hiding in the crater took off their helmets one after another, took out their caps without eaves and streamers from their arms, put them on their heads, put their guns in the crater, took out their grenades and held them in their hands. With another whistle, the two sailors, shaking hands with grenades, jumped out of the crater and rushed toward the enemy's position. Unfortunately, within a few steps, the enemy's machine gun shot a series of bullets arrived. The wounded sailor, by virtue of inertia, rushed forward a few steps, and then fell into the crater. Looking at his comrades in arms, a sailor was red eyed. He suddenly stood up, pulled the string of the grenade, and rushed up with the "sizzling" smoking grenade. Just half way out, boom. In a cloud of smoke, the living people instantly disappeared from my sight. Although three sailors were killed in succession, they did not make the surviving sailors feel timid. More sailors jumped out of their hiding places, holding grenades and rushing towards the enemy's positions one after another. Most of the sailors, before they reached the position, fell at the gunpoint of the German army. There were also a few lucky sailors who, under the cover of the crater, quickly approached the German position, then pulled the string of the grenade and jumped into the trench. After a loud noise, an enemy's firepower point was destroyed.
