With the successful experience just now, the mortar platoon's second round of shelling was fast and accurate, and soon enveloped the enemy's tanks and the remaining infantry in the smoke of gunfire. A company of soldiers will not let go of such a good fighter plane, they quickly jumped from the ground, ran a few steps, and then threw out the burning bottle in their hands.
Just as the enemy's three tanks were surrounded by raging fire, a loud bugle sounded on the company's position. With the sound of the charge, first hundreds of soldiers from the first company clambered out of the trench and rushed forward. Then the soldiers from the second and third companies also climbed out of the trench and rushed to the remaining enemies with guns.
After the fierce battle, there were only seven or eight people left in front of the position. In the words of division commander biliukov, we hundreds of people rushed up in a swarm and trampled them to death even with our feet. However, the surviving Germans, whether hiding by motorcycles or behind tanks, saw our soldiers rush past, threw down their weapons and raised their hands high.
Just a few minutes later, the battle was over. The soldiers escorted the prisoners to the trench, leaving behind tanks and motorcycles still burning. In this battle, none of the enemy could escape.
Biliukov's call came back at this time. He said happily, "well done, comrade commander. I saw everything that happened on the battlefield in the division observation center. Well done! I congratulate you on your complete annihilation of the enemy. "
When I heard bilukov's praise, I bit my lips with a bitter smile, and all kinds of tastes came to my heart. Xin said that the teacher's attitude changed too quickly. He scolded me half an hour ago and praised me in a twinkling of an eye. Fortunately, the battle was won, otherwise, what he said on the phone at the moment is probably a threat to send me to a military court.
However, since the division commander called to praise our regiment, I would also like to say a few words: "thank you for your praise. Our regiment will tenaciously defend its position and never let the enemy move forward." At this point, I'd like to introduce the topic to Slaven. After all, when the division commander called, he was more or less concerned about his son. "In fact, in the battle just now, Captain Slaven made a great contribution."
When I said this, general biliukov was stunned for a moment, and then asked in doubt, "have you made a great contribution? What great achievement? Commander o'shanina, I'm confused by you. Would you please tell me what's going on? "
I know in my heart that when people find something in common, they will suddenly become friendly, and what general bilukov and I have in common is captain Slaven. I reported to the other side: "Comrade division commander, in the battle, because we lacked enough anti tank weapons, we were unable to eliminate the enemy's five tanks for a long time, and the battle went into a stalemate. At this critical moment, Slaven directed the mortar platoon of the seventh company to fire decisively. They aimed at the enemy's tanks and shot, killing the infantry hiding behind the tanks with shrapnel. The smoke from the explosion blocked the sight of the enemy's tank hands, and the soldiers who covered the attack successfully destroyed all the tanks. Only in this way can we win the final victory. "
When bilukov heard his son's brilliant deeds, he laughed twice and said, "I don't think this boy knows how to be flexible. But you can't get used to him, or he will be proud. Well, I have other things to say, so much. Remember to send the equipment of the battalion I want earlier. Good luck Then he hung up.
Put down the phone, I stood in front of the observation hole, overlooking the position. Half of the officers and men of the three companies were nervously repairing the fortifications in the trenches. The other half, carrying the remains of the heavy wounded and the martyrs, helped the mobile light wounded and came along the traffic ditch to the second line position. I carefully studied the number of people in the trench, and the number of casualties actually reached more than 100. Thinking of this, my heart contracted for a moment. I only fought a small-scale battle with the enemy and lost a company. If I fought with the German army with air force artillery and tanks to cover the attack, how many people would be left in my regiment?
I stood in the same place for a while, thinking that I should call seven company commander Slaven. After all, in the battle just now, his mortar platoon made a great contribution. It's a bit unreasonable not to praise him. So I called Slaven, and I said to him with a smile, "Hello, comrade captain."
Slaven recognized my voice and said politely, "Hello, comrade commander. Captain Slaven reports to you and is at your command
"Well done, comrade captain." I don't want to talk nonsense. I said frankly, "in the battle just now, you and your mortar platoon performed very well. Thanks to your decisive action, we have successfully inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, and only in this way can we win the final victory. Work hard and I will recommend you to a higher position at the right time. "
Hearing the pie I drew for him, Slaven's voice trembled. He said, "thank you! Thank you, commander! Please rest assured that I will lead my company to make new contributions in future battles. " At this point, he stopped for a moment and asked tentatively, "when the enemy attacks again, what is the mission of our company?"
Hearing this, I was silent and began to think about how we could hold the position if the enemy really launched a strong attack on our regiment? Maybe it's because I think too much and forget that I'm making a phone call, so I've been holding the microphone in a daze. Finally, Lukin grabbed my arm and shook it a few times. I woke up and heard Slaven's anxious voice: "Hello! Hello! Comrade commander, are you still there? Please speak, please speak
I was embarrassed to smile at Lukin, and then I replied to Slaven who called me and said, "Comrade captain, I'm sorry, I was thinking about the problem just now. I was so absorbed that I forgot I was talking to you. If the enemy attacks again, I think they will send planes to blow up the artillery first, and then the infantry will pounce on our position under the cover of tanks. Comrade captain, your seventh company is the reserve of the whole regiment. We should let the commanders and fighters pay attention to concealment, and do not expose their targets casually, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties. "“ Comrade commander, I even have a mortar platoon. You know the platoon leader, Sergeant Gerhardt, who I sent to report to you last night. I think the mortar platoon can provide firepower cover for the troops in the front after the new battle starts In my meditation just now, I have thought about how to use this mortar platoon. Now that Captain Slaven has asked me, I will tell him what I think: "Comrade captain, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. We should know how to act according to circumstances. When the enemy's infantry under the cover of tanks attack our army, the targets of the mortar platoon are no longer the enemy's tanks, but the infantry following the tanks. Tanks without infantry cover are not afraid even if they break through our defense lines. The soldiers in the trenches will kill them all with burning bottles. " Originally, I wanted to teach him the tactics of Xu Jin in barrage. On second thought, it was an offensive tactic, but now we are on the defensive. We can't use it for the time being, so we gave up the idea. Just after calling captain Slaven, I didn't expect that trakov's call came in again. After the call, he asked with some dissatisfaction: "Comrade o'shanina, why do you always get through?"? You know, I've been calling you for ten minutes. " Hearing the complaint of trakov, I quickly explained, "report to commander, since the battle has just ended, I want to report the results to the division commander, and at the same time convey new combat orders to the troops below." Trekov didn't tangle with me about why I couldn't get through the phone. He asked with concern, "I heard general biliukov report that your regiment just fought a war with the Germans and won. What's the result? " I quickly covered the microphone and said in a low voice to Lu Jin in front of me, "Comrade captain, the commander asked how our regiment's achievements were? How can I answer him? " Lu Jin handed a piece of paper to me like a magic trick, and said with a smile: "Comrade commander, I'm ready. This is the result of the battle just counted out." Seeing that Lukin was so well prepared, I released my hand covering the microphone and reported to trekov according to the above: "report commander, in the battle just now, our regiment destroyed 5 German light tanks, 21 motorcycles, killed 75 enemies and captured 11 people. The result report is over, please give us your instructions! " After listening to this, trikov gave a satisfied hum and asked, "are there any casualties in our army?" Seeing the number of our army casualties on the paper, my heart twitched. I didn't expect that it was more than I estimated. Trekov didn't hear my answer. He immediately urged in the microphone, "what's the matter? Commander o'shanina, why don't you talk? " After biting my teeth, I reported the real casualty data to trikov: "report commander, our army has killed 67 people and injured 125 people, 28 of whom need to be sent to the rear hospital for operation." Trekov was stunned when he heard the data, and then asked curiously, "Why are there so many casualties?" I explained to him, "Comrade commander, when the enemy tanks shelled our army, the place where the second company stacked the burning bottles was unfortunately hit by the shells, causing heavy casualties to the company. The other casualties are the soldiers who went out to blow up the tanks. " As he was talking to trakov, there was a loud noise outside the observation post, and then the earth above the ceiling was blown down from the crevice of the log. Trekov raised his voice and asked, "commander oshanina, what's the matter?" I shook my head, shook the dust off my helmet, looked at the smoke rising from the positions outside, and listened to the sound of explosions. I calmly reported to trikov, "Comrade commander, it seems that the enemy is ready to attack our positions. Their artillery are shelling our positions. The noise you just heard was that an enemy shell landed next to the observation post and exploded. "“ Commander oshanina, since the enemy is attacking again, you and your soldiers should teach them a good lesson. Be safe and good luck
