Chapter 430

Just as the line of defense of the trokov troops was in danger, general walshing, commander of the 147th division, called to say that his division's defensive positions were being attacked by the enemy.

After hearing this, korpakchi's face changed a little. His fingers were beating uneasily on the wooden table. After a while, he suddenly stood up, grabbed the big cornice hat on the table, put it on his head, and said to gurov, "Comrade military commissar, I'll give you the headquarters. I'll go to the 147th division to have a look." Then, without waiting for guloff to say anything, he pointed to me and said, "commander oshanina, you're going with me."

Sitting on the jeep heading for the 147th division headquarters, I kept murmuring in my heart: "when Zhukov was commanding a battle, he stayed in the headquarters, learned about the war situation through telephone and telegram, and then issued orders to the troops. He was a commander who planned strategies to win a thousand miles. Like meletskov, kolpakchi immediately took a group of people from the headquarters to the front line to direct the battle in person as long as the enemy situation was unfavorable to our army. This is probably the different command styles among senior commanders. "

After driving for more than ten minutes, the jeep stopped at a trench covered with camouflage net. After the driver stopped the car, he turned to kolpakchi, who was sitting in the back seat, and said, "Comrade commander, the division headquarters of the 147th division are here."

Listening to the driver talking about the place, I didn't dare to neglect. I quickly pushed the door open, jumped out of the car, went around the back of the car to the back door on the other side, and opened the door for kolpakchi.

After getting out of the car, kolpakchi said thanks to me and stood there for a while. After several guards from the two jeeps behind arrived, he took us down to the trench through a gap.

As we walked along the trench, the officers and men we met stopped their work one after another and raised their hands against the trench wall to salute kolpakchi.

More than ten meters away from the command post of the division, the commander of the division, general walshin and political commissar Kotov, who got the news, came out from the command post with a group of staff. Seeing that korpakchi came to his own defense area in person, walshing was surprised to ask, "Comrade commander, how did you come here in person?"

"What's the situation, sir?" colpakchi asked

"We beat back the enemy's two attacks." Just now, there was another rumble of artillery in the distance. One kilometer away, a small hill was being attacked by the enemy's artillery. A firing bomb fell on the ground of our army and exploded, puffing up black puffs of smoke.

Seeing that the enemy's shelling started again, walshin immediately called kolpakchi: "Comrade commander, it's not safe outside. We'd better go ahead to the command post."

Colpakchi did not speak, but nodded in agreement. Seeing that the commander entered the division headquarters, walshing followed a large group of people. I wanted to go in, but when I went to the door, it was too narrow. A dozen people could not turn around when they stood inside, so I stepped back consciously.

I looked up at the camouflage net on the top of my head and felt that such camouflage should not be easily found by the German army. So I found a position with a wide field of vision in the trench and raised my telescope to look at the position in the distance.

The enemy's shelling became more fierce, the shells fell and exploded, and the whole position was covered with dust. Seeing this scene, I can't help but worry about the commanders and fighters in the position. They didn't get the artillery support of our army. They had to hide in the fortifications and be beaten passively. The casualties were certainly not small.

However, the enemy's artillery bombardment was soon over. After the smoke of gunpowder was dispersed, it was clear that the enemy's infantry, under the cover of tanks, were advancing slowly towards our position. There are hundreds of corpses and several burning tanks lying in front of our positions. It can be seen from the previous results of our commanders and fighters.

When the enemy was only 50 or 60 meters away from the position, the rifles and machine guns on the position opened fire together, and the dense fire net blinded the enemy who rushed up. The soldiers in the front row fell down one after another, and those in the back fell down on the spot and fired. The tank stopped at the same place, slowly rotating the turret, and from time to time fired a shell at the powerful position on the ground to cover the attack of the infantry.

As several tanks serving as cover missions were successively destroyed by our anti tank guns, the enemy soldiers lost the courage to continue to attack and got up from the ground one after another and retreated to the starting position just now.

Just then, I heard someone call me next to me. I turned around and saw that it was a guard soldier from the headquarters. When he saw me and noticed him, he quickly said, "Comrade commander, the commander asked you to go to the command post of the division."

I followed the soldiers back to the command post. As soon as I entered, I found that there were fewer people in the room. Except for korpakchi, walshine and Kotov, there were only two or three staff officers left. I went to kolpakchi, who was sitting at the table looking at the map. I raised my hand to salute him. According to the regulations, I reported, "Comrade commander, lieutenant commander o'shanina has been ordered to come and wait for your order."

Colpakchi looked up at me and asked, "commander oshanina, where were you just now?"

I didn't dare to hide it. I honestly replied, "I had too many people in the command post, so I went to the trench to find a place with a wide field of vision, where I watched the whole battle."

"What do you think after reading it?"

"I found something wrong with the enemy of this attack."

"What's wrong?" colpakchi asked with interest? What's wrong? Let's hear it. "

"The combat effectiveness is too weak. It can be said that it will be defeated at one touch. I'm worried about whether they have any conspiracy to make us think that their attack is vulnerable. When we relax our vigilance, we will use our powerful forces to pounce on them and seize the position of our army at one stroke. "

After listening to this, kolpakchi laughed, which made me confused. I don't know why he laughed. After laughing for a while, he said with disapproval, "commander o'shanina, you are worried too much. There will be no conspiracy. These enemies are weak in fighting capacity. "

I think I heard it wrong. If the German army is weak in fighting capacity, they can still make trakov's troops run away in a mess. Doesn't this mean that our troops are all a temporary mob, even more vulnerable?

Just when I couldn't figure out the answer, it was general walshing who solved the riddle for me: "Comrade commander, do you think the combat effectiveness of this enemy is a little too low?" At this point, he deliberately stopped for a moment, saw me nodding, and then said: "because the attack on our army is not German at all."

"Not German?"

"Yes, the enemy we are facing is a Romanian division."

"Romanian division?" It suddenly dawned on me that no wonder my combat effectiveness was so weak. It turned out that it was the army of the servant country. I used to fight with the French volunteers in the battle of borojino. At that time, I felt that their combat effectiveness was weak. I didn't expect that they would be vulnerable to another country's army here. I look forward to the chance to fight against the famous Italian troops in the battle of Stalingrad, which will begin soon, to see if their combat effectiveness is as weak as the legend.

Just as he was talking, a lieutenant rushed into the command post in a hurry. Without even calling for a report, he excitedly said to walshin, "Comrade division commander, plane, our plane!"

Walshin looked at the Lieutenant with displeasure and said coldly, "Comrade lieutenant, what is it worth your making such a fuss? Don't you see Comrade commander here?"

The lieutenant then saw kolpakchi sitting in the room. He quickly raised his hand to salute and explained, "Comrade commander, I'm sorry I didn't see you just now. I came to report it as soon as I saw our fighters appear in the sky. "

"What, our fighters?" Korpakchi showed an unbelievable expression. No wonder it has been fighting for several days. The air support that general gordov, commander of the front army, said did not appear. As a result, the air supremacy of the battlefield was ceded to the Germans. In the absence of air cover, some of the battles we can win have to end in failure. No one in the command post spoke. They were all listening. Soon, we all heard a clear roar of aircraft motors coming in from the outside.

Colpakchi stood up and darted out of the command post. Seeing that the commander left the command post, the rest of the people were unwilling to fall behind and rushed out one after another.

Standing in the trench, I looked up through the camouflage net above my head and saw dozens of fighters in neat formation flying over our trench.

Our fighters gradually lowered their flight altitude and dived to the enemy's starting position. When a bomb goes down and lands on the enemy's tank, the tank becomes a pile of burning scrap iron; In the infantry line, more than ten or twenty soldiers were blown to pieces. If a row of machine gun sweeps down, the enemy hiding in the position can be beaten up.

"That's great. The guys in the air force are really good. They've done a great job!" When political commissar Kotov saw this exciting scene, he couldn't help shouting excitedly. The rest of them didn't speak, but there was joy on their faces.

At this time, a staff officer came out of the command post and squeezed directly in front of kolpakchi. After raising his hand and saluting, he reported: "Comrade commander, just now the military commissar called and said that general trakov's troops had launched a full line counterattack after being supported by our air force."

"Comrades commander," walshin asked excitedly, "what should our division do and attack?"

Colpakchi looked at him with a smile and said faintly, "my division commander, what else can you do? Don't go and order our troops to fight back." At such a time, in the face of such a favorable fighter, any commander will not hesitate to fight back immediately.

General walshin promised, but without any respect, he turned and ran to the command post. The people around him stepped back and gave him a passage. Kotov smiles and shakes his head. He goes up to korpakchi, raises his hand and says in a very formal tone: "Comrade commander, political commissar Kotov of the 147th infantry division reports to you that the troops are ready to charge the enemy face to face and wait for your orders!"

"Go ahead, comrade political commissar." "Now it's our turn to teach the enemy a hard lesson. You must teach them a profound lesson that they will never forget," colpakchi said with a smile

A few minutes later, with the loud charge, a team of soldiers with weapons jumped out of the trench, shouting "Wula" and rushed to the enemy. Our warplanes hovering over the battlefield cooperated with the counterattack of the 147th division very well. They dropped bombs on the enemy's attacking positions and used machine guns to strafe those disordered infantry, destroying the enemy's resistance and opening up the way for our army's attack. Our army's grass-roots commanders soon saw the way, knew that the fighters were covering our army's counterattack action, and immediately directed the troops to rush toward the area where the plane focused on bombing. The Romanian division's offensive position was originally simple and crude, with only one or two temporary trenches, which could not resist the strong fortifications of our army. After a little resistance, the whole front collapsed, and the soldiers jumped out of the trenches and ran to the back. Those who were slow were either killed on the spot by our commanders or soldiers, or they were captives.
