Hearing my question, Wei yinlubu sighed and said helplessly: "the chief of staff and I have repeatedly urged the commander to leave the headquarters, but he said: if he continues to stay in the headquarters in the face of the fierce attack of the enemy, he will certainly build up such confidence among the soldiers:" since the general is here, then we should stick to it! " In this way, the soldiers will never retreat without orders, and they will fight with the enemy to the last breath. "
Wei yinlubu's words made me feel speechless. I really don't know whether I should praise trakov for his courage or call him stupid. Just thinking about it, Wei yinlubu continued: "I think the reason why the commander is determined to stay in the headquarters may be related to his judgment of the enemy's lack of logistics."
"The enemy's logistics are inadequate?" This statement of Lieutenant Colonel Wei yinlubu confused me. From the continuous shelling and bombing of mamayev post by the enemy, it didn't look like lack of logistics at all. In order to find out this question, I asked carefully, "Comrade commander, I can ask, what is the basis of which Comrade commander came to this conclusion?"
"Well, when the enemy sent out infantry and tanks to launch a crazy attack on us. The enemy planes continuously carried out intensive raids on our battle formations, ferries and command posts of the group army. But the enemy planes not only dropped bombs, but also metal blocks, plows, tractor wheels, harrows, empty iron barrels, etc. The shrieks and noises of these things came down from the air and landed on the heads of our soldiers. It is based on this situation that the commander determined that the enemy dropped metal objects that he could get at hand as bombs, which just showed that they were short of ammunition. They want to scare people in this way, but they can't do it. "
After listening to Wei yinlubu's explanation of trekov's judgment, I really couldn't laugh or cry. I just said that trekov's idea was ridiculous. He arbitrarily thought that the German army was short of ammunition on the basis of metal blocks, wheels and empty iron barrels falling from the sky. I never thought that these things falling from the sky might be enemy planes hit by our air defense artillery, The landing gear and the auxiliary fuel tank and so on. If the enemy were really short of ammunition, they would not launch such a fierce attack, and our army would not be pressed to fight back.
However, I did not entangle with Wei yinlubu on the question of whether the German army lacked ammunition. Instead, I asked him curiously, "Comrade commander, what are you doing out here if you don't stay in the headquarters to resist the German attack?"
Wei yinlubu pointed to the back and said, "I came back with a platoon in a hurry after I learned that the headquarters had been attacked by the German army. There were two heavy tanks in front of us, but after fighting all the way, one tank was destroyed by the enemy, and the other one broke down and broke down
I looked at the back of the tank and saw that on the streets full of craters and debris, there were several burning tank wrecks, and on the ground there were many bodies of both sides. Seeing this scene, I could not help sighing, and then asked: "commander, how many people are left under your command?"
Hearing my question, Wei yinlubu pointed to the soldiers gathered around him with a bitter smile: "there are more than 50 soldiers in a platoon. Now there are only a few of them. With this strength and the lack of heavy weapons, if we rashly attack the enemy, it will not only be of no help, but will bring in all the survivors. "
"So you stop here and use the broken tank as a fixed fire point to intercept the German troops who may pass through the intersection. Right? " I took the initiative to say what he wanted to say, but they didn't hit the Germans, instead, they killed our tanks first. Because they were afraid of affecting each other's regiment level, they didn't say it in their heart.
"Colonel o'shanina, you are right." As for my conjecture, weinlub did not deny it. He said without any concealment: "I hide the tanks here as a fixed fort, which can easily kill the German armored forces passing through the crossroads, and can also destroy as many of their infantry as possible."
Just as we were talking, the leader of the avant-garde platoon ran over and reported to me in a loud voice: "Comrade division commander, we have rescued the tankers from the tank, two dead and three injured. The infantry following the tank were injured four times. They were all slightly injured. There was no death When he said this, the platoon leader also glared at Wei Yinlu.
Although Wei yinlubu saw the platoon leader's impolite sight to him, he could not say anything. After all, it was his negligence that caused the accidental injuries, and also led to two deaths and seven injuries in our army. Seeing that Wei yinlubu's face turned red, in order to avoid his embarrassment, I quickly rescued him: "well, comrade commander, take your subordinates and come with us. Commander, their headquarters are still under the attack of the enemy."
Then I turned to the vanguard platoon leader and said, "Comrade platoon leader, you will send someone to carry some wounded people here, and stay here with this tank which serves as a fixed fort to undertake the task of covering our rear."
After several heavy and heavy wounded were settled, our rescue force, which had lost the cover of tanks, continued to move towards the headquarters along the street.
As we get closer to the headquarters, the sound of gunfire becomes more and more intense. When Wei yinlubu heard the sound of guns in front of him, he was flustered and urged us: "hurry up, comrades, hurry up. The enemy is attacking our headquarters. If we don't speed up, it will be too late. "
We ran forward for several tens of meters, and our vision suddenly became clear. The original buildings on both sides of the street had already collapsed under the bombardment of enemy planes and artillery. The distance between us and the headquarters is more than 200 meters. If we ignore the piles of debris in the East and West, it can be said that it is an open area. At the moment, the direction of the headquarters is blazing, and the enemy's tanks and mortars are constantly firing, covering the attack of groups of infantry.
As soon as our troops left the street covered by buildings, they were found by the enemy. Mortars and intensive machine gun fire poured in, blocking our way forward. I jumped to the back of a pile of rubble, hiding behind to avoid the enemy's bullets and artillery.
Although I hid safely, the soldiers behind me were not so lucky as me. The dense machine gun bullets penetrated their fragile bodies and lifted them to the ground. One of them fell at my feet. In the choking smoke, the pungent blood pounced on me. I coughed violently.
A German tank turned its head, fired a shot at us, and came straight at us. More than 30 German soldiers saw their tanks coming towards us. They also got up from the ground one after another and rushed forward behind the tanks.
Looking at the approaching German tanks and infantry, I couldn't help getting flustered. Let alone anti tank guns, anti tank grenades and other weapons, I didn't even have a grenade. If the German tanks come, I really can't do anything about such a huge thing. There's nothing I can do.
Through the sound of guns, I can clearly hear the rumble of tank tracks, which unexpectedly means that the enemy's tanks are getting closer and closer to me. At this time, a soldier hiding behind the rubble on the opposite side of the street grabbed a burning bottle on the ground, stood up straight, raised the burning bottle over his head, aimed at the approaching tank, and was about to throw it. Suddenly, an evil bullet flew from somewhere and hit the bottle in his hand. The bullet smashed the bottle, and the liquid in it ran all over him. Then the fire burned all over him.
Seeing that the soldier was covered with fire, I couldn't help closing my eyes. I couldn't bear to see the soldier burned alive in front of me. I didn't expect that what came into my ears was not the scream of the soldier, but his roar. I quickly opened my eyes to see what happened. He bent down, grabbed the second flask, jumped out from behind the rubble, ran straight to the side of the German tank, and threw the flask into the grille of the tank's engine. In a flash, fire and smoke engulfed our heroes and enemy tanks.
The bravery of the soldiers inspired us who were still alive. We all stuck our heads out of hiding places and started shooting at the enemies who were following the tanks with weapons. I also grabbed the rifle of the soldier lying at my feet, aimed at the enemy not far away, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Maybe I should thank oshanin, who only met once, for training the real Rita into a sharpshooter, but I was lucky to inherit her shooting talent. After five shots, at least three German soldiers became my victims.
Seeing that my shooting performance was good, Wei yinlubu ran over with a soldier bent his belt. After squatting down beside me, he gave me a thumbs up and repeatedly praised, "good job, Colonel o'shanina, you are good! The shooting method is so accurate that it killed three enemies in a row. "
I pressed five bullets into the magazine again, but I didn't care to speak to him. I raised my hand and flew the helmet of a German soldier who was hiding behind a pile of rubble more than 20 meters away. After the German soldier's helmet was blown away by me, he quickly shrunk to the rubble and did not dare to stand up again.
After I finished this shot, I also drew back, leaned back against the rubble, and asked Wei yinlubu squatting in front of me: "Comrade commander, do you have bullets there?"
When I received the three clips of bullets from Wei yinlubu, I couldn't help saying: "Comrade commander, your soldiers are good. If he had not died with the German tanks, we would have been defeated by the enemy's tanks and the incoming infantry
After hearing this, Wei yinlubu sighed and said, "his heroic performance, after the introduction of the battle, I will report it to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to record merits for him!"
At this moment, our team has been sobered from the initial chaos, and the soldiers have occupied favorable terrain and launched a counterattack against the enemy. In a nearby crater, the soldiers of the second regiment even mounted a machine gun and were using accurate firing to destroy the German soldiers who rushed forward risking their lives.
The enemy's tanks and mortars stopped bombarding the headquarters. Instead, they aimed at us and used dense artillery fire to cover the infantry charging at us. The machine gunner in the crater was fighting happily when he suddenly showed his upper part of the crater, threw himself back and fell into the crater. As soon as the gunner fell, his deputy grabbed the machine gun, took over the gunner's position and continued to fire at the enemy. Just after shooting a bullet clip, the assistant gunner was changing the bullet clip when a German shell landed near him and exploded. The flying shrapnel made him fall into the crater with a man and a machine gun.
Seeing that the assistant gunner also fell down, I could not help but scream. Just as I wanted to send someone to take his place, the leader of the avant-garde platoon had quickly jumped out of the crater behind me, rushed past me, jumped into the crater, rebuilt the machine gun, and strafed the enemy's infantry.
After a while, the platoon leader also fell beside the machine gun. Not long after he fell, another soldier came forward, jumped out of his hiding place, rushed into the crater, replaced the position of the platoon leader, and then shot the incoming enemy with a machine gun. As the enemy's attention was attracted by the machine gun in the crater, I was able to hide behind the rubble and shoot at the German soldiers who entered my range. When I ran out of bullets, at least 15 German soldiers fell under my gun. Although the enemy's infantry was wiped out by us little by little, we had no way to keep shelling our three tanks and many mortars. So although we gradually gained the upper hand in the number of people, we were still unable to advance to the headquarters because of the existence of the tank. While Wei yinlubu was discussing with me whether to send someone to touch the enemy's tanks with burning bottles, a German tank was suddenly covered with fire and smoke. When I saw this scene, my heart was murmuring: is it the improper operation of the enemy's tankers that caused the explosion of ammunition in the car? But I quickly denied the conjecture here, and understood that it must have been the arrival of troops from another road. I lay on the rubble and carefully looked in the direction of the shell. As I expected, two tanks with * * cross on their bodies came out from another street, followed by a group of our commanders and fighters. The remaining two German tanks did not understand what was going on. They were hit by the shells fired by our tanks and began to burn. The enemy's tanks have been cleared, and the remaining mortars are not a concern. The enemy's mortar bombardment of our tanks had no effect. Although the shells kept exploding around the tanks, it only reluctantly slowed down the driving speed of our tankers without any major damage. However, when our tanks fired mortars, they hit one at a time. After several rounds, the enemy's mortar positions were almost completely destroyed. Seeing the tank and another infantry unit, I stood up and yelled at the hidden commanders and fighters behind me, "comrades, our tanks are coming up. The enemy can't support it any more. Follow me!" After shouting, I waved my rifle and took the lead to rush out. After more than two or three meters, our assault team was blocked by the German firepower, and we were suppressed by the cross fire of one machine gun and seven or eight assault rifles. I hid in a crater, carefully poked my head out and looked at the position of the tank. I found that the enemy's firepower was very well concealed. Because there were tank debris and debris, it was just in the blind area of our army's tanks, so I couldn't clear them in the first time. In a hurry, a mortar team ran behind the rubble not far from me and began to set up mortars. Seeing what they did, regardless of the danger of being hit by the bullet, I yelled at them: "Hello, artillery comrades, hurry up and kill that fire point, otherwise we can't rush through at all!" The gunner set up the mortar quickly, aimed simply, and fired decisively. The mortar shell made a beautiful arc in the air, and then accurately landed in the middle of the enemy. The machine gun hiding behind the rubble splashed debris in the huge explosion. The flying shrapnel blasted the German soldiers nearby. This time, it was not my turn to stand up. Wei inlub, who was hidden in another crater, jumped out first, waved his weapons and rushed forward with the soldiers to destroy the surviving German soldiers. The battle was soon over. The German troops who invaded the headquarters of the group army were either killed or captured by us, except for those who ran fast with long legs. While I was cleaning the battlefield, Wei Yinlu came to me with several people. I saw from a distance that there were no trekov, gurov and Krylov in it. I thought they were just the general staff of the group army headquarters, so I didn't care. I continued to command the soldiers to treat the wounded. When they came near, I found that behind Wei yinlubu were a group of political workers. There was even a brigade level political commissar, who was higher than kirilov's level. I quickly welcomed them. Although I didn't know who they were, I raised my hand to salute them first. Seeing that I saluted them, the political workers raised their hands one after another. Wei yinlubu quickly pulled me to the brigade level political commissar and introduced me to him. He said, "Colonel oshanina, I'd like to introduce you. This is Comrade Vasiliev, the new director of the Political Department of the group army and the brigade level political commissar, who took over the previous work of Comrade kirilov." Vasiliev held out his hand to me and said in a friendly way, "thank you, Colonel oshanina, for bringing your troops to help us out. Let's go to the headquarters. The commander and the military commissar are waiting for you. "
