Chapter 599

Since Pugachev's second regiment was defeated by German bombardment, Pugachev, who I blame, has always been strict in the construction of fortifications. As soon as I ordered them to build fortifications on the hillside, I immediately replied without hesitation, "yes, sir, I immediately arranged for people to build fortifications on the hillside."

I raised my hand, looked at my watch and asked casually, "Captain Pugachev, have you seen my jeep?"

Because I don't know where the driver drove the jeep after he was ordered to see off the engineer lieutenant, and Pugachev, who came late, didn't meet him, so I asked him casually.

Unexpectedly, Pugachev immediately replied, "yes, when our regiment arrived at the foot of the mountain, your driver just drove from the direction of the city, and he showed me the way up the mountain."

Hearing that the jeep was just down the hill, I urged razumeyeva: "come on, comrade lieutenant, come with me. I hope they haven't gone far yet, Colonel dobyansky After that, I turned around and left. Just after walking out of the shelter, I stopped again, lifted the curtain and told Pugachev: "Captain Pugachev, we should pay close attention to the repair work. The Germans won't give us too much time to deploy our defense. We can't say when their attack will begin."

As I walked down the hillside, I saw the jeep parked near the checkpoint. After the guards heard me identify myself, the political instructor quickly replied, "report to the colonel, we are guards infantry. I saw dubiyanski seven or eight meters in front of me. I hastened to push him. At the same time, I yelled," Colonel dubiyanski, Colonel dobyansky

At my voice, Colonel dobyansky and the soldiers around him stopped and stood where they were. The soldiers on the March, seeing that their way was blocked by their division commander, all went around one after another from both sides. Dobyansky looked at me dully, without any expression on his face.

I pushed hard in front of him, and after a long sigh of relief, I said, "thank God, comrade Colonel, I've finally caught up with you."

Dubiyanski looked at me suspiciously and asked faintly, "Colonel oshanina, the exchange of our two divisions is over. You come here specially. What's the matter?"

"Well, comrade colonel." With a bright smile, I said to him, "don't you leave a women's communication class in the gully behind the highland? And my independent division, as you know, is a newly established unit, which is short of manpower in all aspects. Now our division has accepted the task of sticking to the high ground. If the communication company of the division is short of manpower, it will not be able to guarantee the smooth communication between the division headquarters and the front positions. So I'm here to ask you to put this communication class under the organizational structure of our division. What do you think? "

When I say this, I'm ready to be rejected by dobyansky. If he doesn't agree, I'll go to trakov or gurov and ask them to coordinate the matter. Unexpectedly, dubiyanski just thought about it for a moment, then said with a smile: "Captain oshanina, look at what you said, you and I are all friendly forces. In order to make sure that you stick to the high ground, let alone a women's communication class, even if you want me to have a battalion, I will support you without hesitation. "

When I heard that dubiyanski agreed to leave the women's communication class, I was overjoyed. I grabbed the captain's hand, shook it vigorously, and repeatedly said, "thank you, thank you, thank you, Colonel dubiyanski." When I released his hand, it suddenly occurred to me that corporal stucallova, the communication monitor, wanted a written order, so he said in embarrassment, "but Comrade Colonel, you may have to give me a written order before I can officially take over the women's communication class."

What I said surprised dubiyanski. He asked in a puzzled way, "Colonel oshanina, what's going on?"

"When I came here, corporal stucallova, the monitor of the women's communication class, said personally that we must have a jeep from the guards. When I got off the bus, I specially told the driver:" Comrade driver, try to hide the jeep, otherwise if it is found by the German plane, it can only be put outside for them to play as a target. " With that, I waved my head to razumeyeva and said, "come on, comrade lieutenant, let's go back to the headquarters."

When we walked up the south slope, we saw the soldiers of the second regiment digging Fortifications on the slope. Razumeyeva curiously asked: "Sir, our positions are all on the north slope. Why dig Fortifications on the south slope?"

I pointed to the hillside with only bushes and thorny plants and said to razumeyeva, "Lieutenant razumeyeva, you see, the whole highland is full of bushes and low plants. There is no forest for the troops to hide. Holding so many troops on the highland, the pilot of the German reconnaissance plane is not blind. As soon as he reports the information to the police, The overwhelming number of planes will bomb the mamayev post. At that time, no matter how much our division's forces are, they will be completely lost under the saturation bombing of the German army. Therefore, we must find a way to hide our troops. In this way, we can not only prevent the enemy from finding out, but also reinforce our troops in time when the front forces are tight. "

With these words, we both came to the outside of the headquarters unconsciously. Three enemy planes flew over the highlands to the northeast. I shook my head and looked at the enemy planes in the sky. Suddenly, I felt a little uneasy. I quickly took out the order in my briefcase and gave it to razumeyeva. At the same time, I told her: "Comrade lieutenant, you should give the order to corporal stucallova immediately, and let the girls dig the air raid shelter nearby as soon as possible, In case of possible German air strikes. " Razumeyeva agreed, took the paper order in my hand and ran to the gully.

After razumeyeva left, I raised my telescope and looked northeast at the Volga River. There is a wharf near the river of mamayev post, which is full of fleeing civilians. It is pushing towards a steam turbine just near the bank.

After the enemy plane flew over the dock, it lowered its altitude, dived into the crowd gathered at the dock, and began to strafe and drop bombs at the same time. Thousands of civilians crowded on the narrow dock. Except for those who were close to the ship, the rest of the people had no place to hide and escape. They could only stand there and become the targets of German aircraft. After the three planes were pulled up one after another, three flesh and blood alleys were ploughed out of the crowded crowd by dense machine gun bullets.

When the enemy circled in the air and prepared to dive again, the anti-aircraft gun and anti-aircraft machine gun positions on the dock opened fire again and again. Our air defense fighters were ready to use intensive fire to shoot down all the three enemy planes.

But in the ground to air combat, the ground defense side is always at a disadvantage. As the anti-aircraft gun position and the anti-aircraft gun position fought independently, after pouring countless ammunition, the enemy plane was not damaged, and several air defense positions of our army were destroyed one after another. A shell on an antiaircraft artillery position destroyed by a bomb was killed, and the flying shrapnel knocked down many nearby civilians.

Seeing that the dock had become a hell on earth under the bombing of the enemy planes, my heart tightened, and my throat seemed to be blocked by a bitter thing. Although I was so angry that I gritted my teeth, I couldn't help what happened on the dock.

However, the sacrifice of air defense positions has gained valuable time for civilians to escape. The steamer on the dock did not wait to be full of passengers, but ran out of the dock in a panic and headed for the east bank in the face of enemy strafing and bombing. Those civilians who were not able to board also went back to the bomb shelter, crater and bunker.

After dropping all the bombs and firing all the bullets, the three enemy planes circled over the wharf for another two days before flying far away. When people at the dock saw the enemy planes flying away, they came out of their hiding places to look for their dead and injured relatives and friends. For a moment, the dock was in chaos again.

"Sir, what happened at the dock?" Razumeyeva did not know when to come back to me and asked curiously.

"Have a look, comrade lieutenant." I angrily put the telescope into her hand and gritted my teeth and said, "remember the heinous crimes committed by the bandits against our motherland and people. Sooner or later, we will make them pay for their blood."

Razumeyeva raised her telescope and looked for two minutes. Three more enemy planes appeared in the air. They still skimmed over the highlands and flew to the dock in the northeast direction. These damned Germans, before we finished treating the dead and wounded civilians, their second wave of planes came again. As soon as they arrived at the wound of the dock, the three new planes, like the enemy planes just now, mercilessly bombed and strafed the people on the dock.

However, our air defense forces had been prepared for this time. They continued to shoot and finally achieved success. An enemy plane was cut off one side of its wing by the shrapnel of the antiaircraft shell and rolled down the Volga River. Soon a white umbrella flower bloomed in the air. It seemed that the pilot jumped in time.

Seeing the downed German plane, I couldn't help waving my fist excitedly. The remaining two planes, after their colleagues were shot down, did not dare to dive any more and could only hover in the air for a while and then turn around and fly away.

When I saw the enemy planes far away, I thought to myself that in order to bomb the civilians on the wharf, the German planes had been dispatched twice in a row, and they would not come again for the third time. Just think of here, the sky and the roar of the aircraft motor, and then there are several black spots appeared in my field of vision. Seeing this scene, I almost slapped myself and scolded myself as a crow. I just thought that the enemy plane was coming, but I didn't expect that they were coming.

Seeing that the enemy plane was getting closer and closer to the highland, razumeyeva and I were still standing in the same place. I had clearly seen that there were six planes in the air this time, and I didn't know how many casualties they would cause to the civilians on the wharf.

Just thinking, the plane flying over the mamayev post didn't fly towards the wharf any more, but dived down towards us. At this moment, I was surprised to find that this wave of enemy planes were not aiming at the wharf at all, but came to bomb the mamayev post. I quickly opened my voice and yelled at the busy commanders and fighters on the hillside: "air raid siren, air raid siren, hide quickly!"

But my orders were muffled by the loud explosion of the bomb, and then I was thrown to the ground by a man. I lie on the ground, listening to the explosions, feeling the ground shaking slightly, I can't help but panic. The German air raid came too suddenly. Their planes flew over the Highlands twice and turned a blind eye to the busy commanders and fighters in the mountains and valleys. However, they attacked the wharf on the Volga River. Our commanders and fighters unconsciously relaxed their vigilance and thought that the German air raid was aimed at the wharf, not the mamayev post. So the commanders and fighters were still busy on the hillside when the enemy planes came. They didn't think of hiding. After the bombing, my regiment 1 and regiment 2 didn't know how many people would be killed.

I tried to look up to see the situation nearby, but my sight was covered by black smoke. I couldn't see further. I couldn't even know what happened to the soldiers digging nearby. The enemy planes bombed and strafed the Highlands for ten minutes, but for me, it was as long as ten days. After the enemy plane dropped the bomb, fired the airborne machine gun bullets, flapped its wings and flew away, the person who pressed on me stood up and stretched out his hand to pull me up from the ground. I looked up and saw that it was lieutenant razumeyeva who just overthrew me. At this moment, her face was black and white with smoke. I nodded to her quickly, turned around and ran to the headquarters. I want to know about the losses in this air raid. When I opened the curtain and rushed into the headquarters, I found that Pugachev and another soldier standing inside had become natives. The explosion of the bomb shook down the soil on the roof and left them alone. I grabbed the phone on the desk, shook the handle twice, just wanted to call, but found that there was no sound inside. Pugachev shook his head and said regretfully, "Comrade division, after the air raid started, the phone couldn't get through. Maybe the line was blown off." "Did you send someone to check the line?" I asked Pugachev shook his head again and replied, "no, the signalmen who came with us were called away by lieutenant razumeyeva. I don't know where they are now." Hearing the name of razumeyeva, I thought of the women soldiers I met outside the tent of the women's communication class. I quickly said, "I know they are all in the tent in the gully. I'll ask razumeyeva to inform them to check the line and resume the communication between the division headquarters and the frontier as soon as possible." Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of what I wanted to know the most. I immediately asked, "how were the casualties of your regiment in the air raid just now?" Pugachev said with a sad face: "I don't think it's small. The German air raid came so suddenly that the troops didn't prepare at all in advance. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of the officers and men are working on the hillside and are the best targets for attack. I estimate that the casualties of the whole regiment will be at least one third. "“ Comrade teachers, comrade teachers. " Without waiting for me to speak, razumeyeva suddenly rushed out crying and ran in, grabbed my arm and went out, crying and saying: "it's over, it's all over, my women's communication class is all over." I was misty and misty when razumeyeva came to the top of the hillside and looked into the valley along the direction of her finger. I saw that there were two army green tents, only a few big pits. There were burning pieces of tent cloth and broken parts of communication equipment in the pits. There were many bloody limbs and broken arms in the smoke craters nearby. Seeing this scene, I fully understand that my women's communication class is over. As soon as I arrived at mamayev post, this damned German gave me a bad impression. If I don't get revenge, I swear I won't be a man. Think of here, I only feel throat hair sweet, a mouthful of blood suddenly spray out.
