I told Lu Jin: "Comrade captain, call the company commanders of each company and ask them to pay attention to concealment. In addition to the observation posts, the rest of the people in the position should withdraw to the concealment department to avoid unnecessary casualties as far as possible."
In the air raid yesterday, the commanders of the regiment were killed and killed, so at present, the regiment has cancelled the battalion level organizational system. Every order I give is directly given to each company commander through Lu Jin.
Two more shells landed near the observation post and exploded. In the roaring explosion, the earth on the roof was shocked and fell. Lu Jin looked at the roof with some worry, and then persuaded me: "Comrade commander, it's too dangerous here. Let's find a safe place to hide and come back after the enemy's shelling."
Although there is a lot of dust on my helmet and shoulders, I'm too lazy to dust them. Anyway, the soil on the roof will fall down later. Even if it's cleaned, it won't be long before it falls all over again. I waved down Lukin's offer. I pretended to be calm and said: "Comrade captain, don't be nervous. The enemy's artillery is shelling our regiment's position. These shells that landed outside the observation post should have been accidentally missed by the enemy. We won't be in any danger if we stay here."
After listening to my farfetched reason, Lu Jin grinned helplessly: "well, since the chief said it's safe to stay in the observation center, I'll stay here with you."
In order to ease his nervousness, I said with a smile: "Captain Lu Jin, I really don't have to worry. It's not the first time I've been on the battlefield. Although I've been injured several times, it doesn't matter. You see, I'm standing right in front of you now? "
The enemy's shelling did not last long. Half an hour later, as soon as the enemy's shelling was over, the enemy's offensive troops appeared in my field of vision. Ten German tanks came to our position, and the German soldiers in helmets trotted behind them.
As the enemy's shelling stopped, the officers and men hiding in the hideout returned to the trenches one after another. Lu Jin asked me, "Comrade commander, how should we fight the next battle?"
Looking at the enemy tanks and infantry approaching the position, I slowly said to Lukin, "Comrade captain, tell the three company commanders of the first line of defense not to rush the enemy tanks first, but to let them rush forward. When they rush through our first line of defense, they will immediately fire a torch to wipe out the infantry following. As for the coming tanks, they will be handed over to the troops in the second line of defense. Do you understand my orders? "
Lu Jin readily agreed and began to call the company commanders: "I'm captain Lu Jin. Connect me with the company commander. A company commander? " He yelled to the microphone: "the commander orders that the troops of the first line of defense should not take care of the enemy's tanks. Just let them rush forward. After they rush through the trench, you can fire decisively and destroy the enemy infantry behind the tanks. Do you understand me? Good. Now that you understand it, you'll give the order to the second company and the third company at once. "
After the call, he then called the commander of the fourth company.
"Fourth company commander, is that you?" Lu Jin gave an order to the company commanders through the microphone: "commander's order, after the enemy's tanks rush through the first line of defense, you should quickly send out the battle, use the traffic trench to approach the enemy's tanks, and use the burning bottle to destroy all these tanks without infantry cover. Do you understand? OK, just understand. You should immediately convey this order to the company commander of the fifth company and the sixth company, and let them act together with your company. "
As the frontier received my order to let go of the enemy's tanks and only hit the infantry behind, no one fired when the enemy's tanks came close to the trench. Ten German tanks in battle formation smashed through the burning remains of motorcycles in front of the position, smoothly crossed the first trench of our army and sped forward at full speed.
The enemy's infantry is small, 150 or 60 in a company, but they are obviously veterans with rich combat experience. As soon as the gunfire in the front of our army rang out, they fell to the ground one after another and fired back. Several German machine gunners quickly seized a favorable position and established a machine gun position. Then several machine guns opened fire at the same time. The commanders and fighters in the position facing them were forced into the trench by the fierce machine gun fire and could not look up.
I turned to Lu Jin and said, "Comrade captain, connect me with Captain Slaven, commander of the seventh company."
After that, I observed the enemy tanks that broke through our army. I saw the car rushing in front of me. Suddenly a fire burst out on the body of the car. After driving a certain distance forward, I slowly stopped and began to burn in the same place. I looked left and right with the telescope and found no soldiers near the tank. Who broke the tank?
Just thinking about it, another tank caught fire and burned. After a few steps forward, it plunged into the traffic ditch beside it. When I saw that there were still no soldiers of our army around, I remembered that the division commander sent us three anti tank guns, and Lukin was equipped with four companies. These two destroyed tanks should be their masterpieces.
Seeing that two tanks were destroyed in succession, the remaining tanks became cautious. They slowed down and fired at our second line of defense.
Lukin put the receiver in front of me and said, "Comrade commander, Captain Slaven's call is through."
I took the microphone, and without politeness, I said directly to Slaven, "Comrade captain, order the mortar platoon to open fire and destroy the enemy's machine gun position. After that, fire at the enemy's dense area and kill them in large quantities. Remember, don't hurt yourself by mistake. "“ Please rest assured, I will order the mortar platoon to fire immediately. " Slaven yelled back in the microphone. When I looked out again, the number of destroyed German tanks in front of the second position had increased to five, and the remaining tanks quickly stopped moving forward and started shooting at random. Lu Jin handed the microphone to me again, and the report said, "Comrade commander, it's the teacher's phone."“ How are you doing there? Commander o'shanina. " Biliukov's dissatisfied voice came from the microphone: "I heard the observation report that the enemy's tanks have broken through the first line of defense of your regiment and are stopping to bombard the second line of defense. What's the matter? Why did the enemy's tanks break through our lines? " As for his reproach, I calmly and clearly reported to him: "report to Comrade division commander, because our regiment lacks anti tank weapons, so when the enemy attacks, I specially order the troops on the front line to let go of the enemy's tanks and only attack the infantry behind. And the tanks that break through our line of defense, because there is no infantry cover, our troops in the second line of defense can wipe them out. " At this point, I raised my telescope to look out, and then said, "the enemy has a total of ten tanks. At present, more than six tanks have been destroyed in front of the second line of defense of our regiment, and the remaining four are firing aimlessly at our positions. I see some soldiers carrying burning bottles are quietly approaching these tanks through the traffic trench. I believe they will be wiped out before long. "“ Well done, comrade oshanina. When the battle is over, remember to call me right away. " With that, there was no sound in the microphone. I handed the microphone back to Lukin and said to him, "Comrade captain, I'm sorry, I turned you into my signalman today. I will continue to stay in the observation post. You should go to the seventh company immediately and command the mortar platoon to bombard the enemy's infantry. You must annihilate the attacking enemy in the shortest time Under the precise attack of mortar, the German machine gun position was destroyed. Lukin also directed the mortar platoon to bombard the recalcitrant German infantry. One after another, the shells fell on the German soldiers lying on the ground and exploded. The blast pulled one soldier after another out of the ground, threw them high into the air and fell heavily on the ground. I saw that the ten German tanks were in various positions in front of the second line of defense, and the German infantry in front of the first line of defense also suffered heavy casualties under the attack of artillery fire. It seemed that it was time for the troops to attack, so I asked the newly arrived signalman to connect me with a company. As soon as I got through, I yelled into the microphone, "is it a company commander? I'm lieutenant commander o'shanina. Did you see that? The ten German tanks that rushed through your trenches were destroyed by the second line of defense. Don't hesitate any more, lead your company to attack, and kill all the Krauts in front of you. " With my command, the forward position soon rang out the sound of the bugle, which was suppressed by the sound of guns. With the sound of the bugle, the officers and men in the trench climbed out of the trench one after another, shouting and rushing towards the enemy. After a short battle, except for a few soldiers who escaped, the rest were either killed or obediently raised their hands to surrender and became prisoners of our army. At the end of the battle, I was relieved. After receiving a call from a company commander to report the results of the battle, I called bilukov and excitedly reported to him: "Hello, comrade division commander! I'm lieutenant commander o'shanina. All the enemies who attacked our troops have been eliminated. In the battle just now, we destroyed ten enemy tanks, killed 127 soldiers and captured 25. "“ Do you know the name of the enemy? "“ After interrogation, it can be determined that they are all from the 71st German infantry division. "“ All right, comrade commander. Well done. I will report this result to the commander immediately. I remind you, you can't be proud. Let the soldiers take the time to reinforce the fortifications and be ready to repel the enemy's attack again. "
