Chapter 688

After breaking through the disguise of the German army for guriyev, I was full of admiration for the German commander who made the decision. We should know that the war situation has developed to the present stage, the enemy and ourselves occupied areas are crisscrossed, and there may be two enemy troops in any area at the same time. For their appearance, whether it's offensive or defensive troops, there will be no doubt about the troops who wear the same uniform as themselves. Fortunately, this German army pretending to be our army used the name of our independent division, and it happened that the commander of our independent division saw through the other party's poison plan. Otherwise, guriyev's guard division would have to suffer a lot.

Since he knew that the enemy was coming, guriyev knew it well. He continued to ask the scouts, "how far are the German troops posing as friendly troops from us?"

From our conversation, the Scout already knew that the so-called friendly army he had dealt with was actually a fake German army. Suddenly, he was shocked into a cold sweat. In such cold weather, his forehead was covered with sweat. When guriyev asked himself, he quickly raised his hand and wiped his sweat. He replied, "after they passed through zekhovsky street, they occupied the buildings on both sides of the street, and set up defenses in the direction of another German army and sent out guard posts."

After listening to this, Guriev turned to me and asked for my advice: "Colonel oshanina, what do you think we should do to deal with this German army pretending to be you?"

I thought about it and replied, "the two German forces are very close. No matter which one we turn our head to fight, we may be attacked by the other. In that case, it's not good for us. "

"Do you mean to keep this unit there?" Guriyev said with some displeasure: "have you ever thought that we were lucky to see through the disguise of this German army because of your existence. If we switch to other friendly forces, but we can't distinguish the true from the false in the shortest time, we will suffer a great loss. "

"Comrade General, you have misunderstood." When I saw guriyev's hesitation, he waved his hand in a hurry and said his intention: "the enemy does not know that their camouflage has been seen through by us now. Since their purpose is to occupy the credo gully, they will try every means to create opportunities to approach here. Now that we know the enemy's action plan, we can prepare a trap for the enemy and let them jump in

As soon as I finished, guriyev asked back with great interest, "how can we dig traps for them?"

"Sir, it's about 300 meters long from the entrance of the gully to the first turning. We can hide the commanders and fighters behind the slag piles on both sides, and arrange more than a dozen machine gun fire points on them. After the enemy entered our ambush circle, they first fired decisively with machine guns to disrupt the enemy's March line. Then the soldiers hidden behind the slag pile rushed to the top of the slag pile and taught them hard with hand grenades. In a few minutes, the enemy will be severely damaged or even completely annihilated. "

"What about the entrance to the gully?" Guriyev pondered and did not speak, but the chief of staff of his division expressed his doubts: "if we do not leave troops to guard, the enemy will stop advancing when they see that the entrance is not guarded, or even separate troops to march along the top of the slag heap, so that our ambush plan will fail. If only a small number of troops are left behind, they may be disarmed by the German army in our uniform. "

"The chief of staff has a point," guriyev echoed his chief of staff's advice, and then asked me, "Colonel oshanina, what can you do to make the enemy enter the gully without fear and without guard?"

When I gave guriyev some advice, I really didn't think about what the chief of staff said. At this time, I heard that guriyev had the same concerns. I couldn't help but make a mistake. After a brief consideration, I said to guriyev, "Comrade General, I think this way. First of all, the Scout went to the commander of the German army and provided him with false information. He said that because the war situation in the factory area was tight, only one company was left to guard the entrance after the close guard division captured the krudo gully, and the rest of the troops rushed to the factory area. Second, we should leave a company at the entrance of the gully. Remember, we should have a company with strong combat effectiveness and set up machine guns at the commanding heights on both sides of the gully entrance. After the enemy troops arrive, even if they have plans to clean up our left behind troops, once they see the high machine gun positions on both sides of the entrance, they will give up the idea and continue to disguise, and they will speed up their way through the credo gully. "

After listening to my plan, guriyev nodded and asked his chief of staff, "chief of staff, what do you think of the plan of Colonel oshanina?"

The chief of staff took a look at me and said with a smile, "Comrade division commander, I think the plan of Colonel oshanina is very comprehensive."

"The other German army won't follow up, will it?" Asked guriyev, a little uneasy.

"I think the main purpose of the enemy's staying there is to contain our troops. It will never move easily." After giving his judgment, the chief of staff looked anxiously at the scouts standing nearby and said, "what I am most worried about now is whether the scouts will show flaws when they go back to deceive the German commander."

The chief of staff's words made my heart thump. Now the key of the whole plan is the Scout. If he sees the German commander again, he will miss things because of his nervousness, and it will not be so easy for him to eliminate the German army which pretends to be our army. Once they flee to other defense areas of our army, they will cause great losses to the garrison there.

Seeing that we all turned our eyes on ourselves, the scout was more and more nervous and at a loss.

Seeing his performance, guriyev sighed a little and said to the Scout sincerely, "Comrade soldier, because this matter has the most to do with you, I don't ask you for it. If you feel that you are not suitable for this task, you can say it directly, and I will arrange other people to carry out this task. "

The scout, who had been embarrassed, was very excited when he heard what his division commander said. After a while, he said in a gruff voice: "Comrade division commander, please rest assured that I will complete the task. If you can't finish the task you gave me, "he said, patting the pistol pinned to his waist," you don't have to deal with me, I'll shoot myself in the head with a gun. "

For the Scout's statement, guriyev and the chief of staff looked at each other, and then their faces showed a knowing smile. Guriyev went over and patted the scout on the shoulder and said kindly, "Comrade soldier, don't be nervous. Just as you usually report to your superiors, you said to the German commander: because of the fierce fighting in the factory area, our troops only left one company behind to guard the entrance of the gully after seizing the krudor gully, and the rest of the troops went through the gully, Go to reinforce the garrison of the factory. Please enter the gully immediately to take over our defense. Do you remember? "

"Remember, comrade teacher." The Scout replied loudly, "don't worry, I promise to finish the task!"

Guriyev nodded with satisfaction, then waved to the scout and said, "then go quickly, comrade soldier. After the battle, I'll give you credit. "

After the Scout left, guriyev discussed with the chief of staff which army should be responsible for guarding the gully. After a discussion of their progress, it was decided that one battalion and three companies, who had participated in the first round of attack, should be selected. The chief of staff specially called the third company commander with bandage on his head and repeatedly explained to him a series of precautions when he saw the German troops who were pretending to be our army coming later.

Guriyev and I came to the back of the muck pile at the corner, where his troops built a simple command post for him to clearly observe the movement in the ditch.

After half an hour's waiting, the German troops pretending to be our troops appeared. As we had made careful arrangements in advance, the defenders who stood at the mouth of the ditch set up a machine gun on each side of the commanding heights, so the German army did not dare to act rashly, but marched into the ditch according to our imagination.

Seeing the enemy entering the ditch, the chief of staff immediately sent a temporary telephone to inform the commanders on both sides of the ambush, so that the troops below could prepare for all battles. Once they heard the gunfire, the machine guns on both sides would open fire decisively, striving to wipe out all the people who entered our ambush circle.

Guriyev touched me lightly with his elbow when the chief of staff didn't notice, and said in a low voice, "Colonel oshanina, are you interested in going up to the top of the slag heap with me to see if our soldiers are fighting?" I looked at the chief of staff who was on the phone and nodded gently.

In this way, guriyev and I, as well as five or six officers and men, carefully came to the top of the slag heap, lying on the ground to observe the German troops coming towards us.

When the German soldiers disguised as our troops walked in the middle of the gully with pride, just when we thought we had cheated our commanders and fighters, smoothly crossed our defensive position and entered our rear, with a sudden gunshot, an unexpected scene happened!

"Fire! FireStarter!! Fire Just after the start of the gun, a series of shouts rang out. The machine guns on the commanding heights on both sides opened fire suddenly. A cross fire network composed of more than ten tongues of fire covered the dense German soldiers in the ditch. Hundreds of German soldiers had not recovered, but nearly half of them were knocked down by dense bullets, and the rest scattered in a hurry, looking for hiding places and trying to organize stubborn resistance on the spot.

The intensive machine gun fire just stopped. Hundreds of soldiers hiding behind the slag heap, under the command of commanders at all levels, rushed to the top of the slag heap decisively and smashed countless grenades into the ditch, causing the remaining enemies to cry and howl. Without waiting for the explosion of the grenade to stop, the light and heavy machine guns replaced the shrapnels opened fire on the German army again. After throwing two rounds of grenades, the commanders and fighters also took up their guns and aimed at the ditch to shoot.

On my right is the commander of the guard battalion, basmanov. On his right is a soldier of the guard company. From the beginning of the battle, he also carried his gun and shot at the enemy at the bottom of the gully. I only saw that after he fired two shots, I found that he was different. Others took aim and pulled the trigger, but he did not take aim. After one shot, he pulled the bolt to withdraw the cartridge case, and then fired the second shot. Almost every shot, the German soldiers fell to the ground.

When the gunfire stopped and the smoke of gunfire dispersed, the dead bodies were everywhere in the ditch, and the blood flowed into a river. The wounded but not dead German soldiers screamed and shocked the world. With the new order issued, the soldiers slowly came down from the top of the slag heap with their weapons and launched a dragnet search. In addition to collecting weapons and ammunition, as long as they found that there was still breathing, they would not hesitate to mend their guns one by one.

I kept silent about the killing of the Jinwei division. As a matter of fact, as early as just now, when guriyev said that his troops had no capacity to accept prisoners and hinted that his commander executed those prisoners, I knew that there would not be any German prisoners in the 39th division of Jinwei for a long time at least. But these German soldiers disguised as our army can only blame their bad luck and just hit the sharp edge of the guard division.
