Chapter 691

At the bottom of the story about Vasili is a "destroy and burn seven German tanks!" In the following report, it was written: "Red Army soldiers Yakov sherbina and Ivan nikitin will not leave the battlefield even if they are injured. The loyal son of the motherland kept on fighting until he beat back the enemy's last attack. In less than half an hour, these two brave anti tank Gunners destroyed seven German tanks. "

I handed the newspaper to kirilov, and then told Boris, "chief sergeant, tell this deputy director of the Political Department of the group army about your experience today, so that he can publish your heroic deeds in our new issue of battlefield express."

"Comrade o'shanina is right. Comrade soldier, tell me about your fighting experience today." Leonid sincerely told Boris that, in order to encourage him to be more detailed, he even threw out a huge Pie: "comrades, you may not know that the whole country is watching us, watching what happens in this city named after the Supreme Commander himself. Although the battlefield express issued by the headquarters of the front army is very simple, its readers are not just soldiers fighting in Stalingrad. Some good reports will even be reprinted by other newspapers in China, such as Caucasus, Crimea, and even Urals, the hometown of lieutenant Vasili. " Leonid stopped for a moment, and after taking a deep breath, he added with enthusiasm: "even Comrade Stalin can see your brilliant achievements in the newspapers that day when he eats in the morning. As long as he remembers your name, Lieutenant Vassily, you will be famous

Leonid's last sentence caused an uproar. We didn't think that such a sniper as Vassili would have the chance to be remembered by the Supreme Commander himself, so we began to talk about it.

I waited for the room to be a little quieter, then I cried out, "be quiet, please be quiet. Next, I'd like to ask Sergeant Boris, Lieutenant Vassily's deputy, to tell you about today's fighting

As soon as my voice fell, the shelter burst into warm applause. After the applause stopped, Boris, flushed with excitement, stabilized his mood, glanced at Vassily, who was sitting next to him with a sniper gun, and began to tell the story of today's battle: "before we set out with lieutenant Vassily this morning, I was worried that if we had two guns, we would not be able to escape if we met a little more enemies, So I got two stormtroopers. In groups of four, led by lieutenant Vassily, we went to the credo gully, where yesterday's fighting was most intense.

I didn't expect that we had just crossed the zekhovsky street when we found that the German army had established an offensive position here. They used artillery and tank guns to fire in the direction of the credo gully to shield their infantry from charging into the gully.

When we saw the enemy's tanks and cannons, Lieutenant Vassili asked us to look for the rubble pile to hide, so as not to be found by the enemy in front. Vassili and I were lying on the second floor of a building which had been bombed and collapsed. We carefully observed the enemy's position in the distance. Although we were more than 200 meters away from the enemy, I still felt that my heart beat faster when I was observing. "

"Be brief." Leonid, who is recording, can't help but urge Boris to speak a little wordy.

Being interrupted by Leonid, Boris, who was addicted to speaking, stuttered a little and couldn't say a complete word for a long time. I quickly stood up and walked to him, patted him on the shoulder gently, comforted him and said, "sergeant, don't worry, just tell us today's fighting process according to your usual way of speaking." Then I said to Leonid with a smile, "deputy director, you see, our soldiers don't know what to say just now."

Leonid chuckled twice, then apologized to us and said, "I'm sorry, Colonel o'shanina. I'm in a hurry. Go on, chief, and try to be more detailed. Don't worry. I won't interrupt you this time. "

When Boris saw that the deputy director of the political department apologized to him, he grinned silently and then went on to say, "I was lying on the second floor and observing carefully. I found that the enemy had five tanks and three guns were firing continuously. The distance between each gun is very wide, one by one far away from us. The three guns were placed behind the tank in a straight line, forming an angle with our hiding place.

I see the German artillery moving back and forth beside the artillery, all of them are agile, and their coordination is also good. At first sight, they are well-trained. I quietly approached Vassili and asked him in a low voice, "Comrade lieutenant, are we going to shoot now?"

The second lieutenant shook his head and said, "don't worry. Wait a minute. If you fire rashly now, it's easy to disturb the enemy. The enemy was alarmed. As long as their tanks turned their heads and fired at us, none of us could escape. "

After listening to his reasons for not being able to fight for the time being, I was in a bit of a hurry. The enemy had about ten artillery soldiers and several tanks. Once the German army found our shooting position, it was really impossible to get away.

Just as I was about to give up, I saw lieutenant Vassily concentrating on aiming, with his finger on the trigger. I was so afraid that it would affect him that I stopped breathing and looked at him intently.

When he pulled the trigger, the German cannon fired just in the distance. The sound of the cannonball out of the chamber concealed the sound of the gun. A German officer standing behind the running position with a telescope was knocked down. I saw the bullet go through the back of the head and come out of the front of the head with my own eyes. The officer fell on his back on the rubble without saying a word. Because there were no other German soldiers near the position of the officer's station, no one found him after he was killed.

After a shot hit, Lieutenant Vassily quickly withdrew from the cartridge case, put out the muzzle, and aimed at the next target. He aimed at a soldier who came to carry the shell box in the back. As soon as the soldier bent over to pick up a box of shells and was about to stand up straight, the second lieutenant fired again. The German soldier's head was tilted back, his shell box was thrown away, and he fell to the ground heavily.

As most of the German artillery were busy shooting, no one noticed that behind them, an officer and a soldier had fallen to our sniper.

When the second lieutenant aimed his gun at the back of the enemy artillery for the third time, a soldier who was in the same position as the killed artillery probably looked back to see what had happened because he saw that he had not delivered the shells. When he saw his companion fall to the ground, he might think that he was accidentally knocked down, so he ran over to see if he could help him. Unexpectedly, when he got close, he suddenly found that his companion was still in the pool of blood. When he turned to call the rest of his companions, the second lieutenant fired the third shot. Just here, the enemy's cannons are firing again, and the huge sound of the cannons conceals the sound of the second lieutenant's guns and the sound of the unfortunate soldiers falling to the ground. "

When everyone heard this, they could not help sighing. Kirilov also said with emotion, "it's so wonderful." Then he urged Boris: "sergeant, don't stop talking. Go on."

Boris nodded again, then said: "after destroying three enemies in a row, the second lieutenant aimed at a German soldier standing beside the gun. It seems that he is a loader, because he is holding a shell in his hand at the moment. As soon as the shell in the gun bore came out, he immediately filled the shell in his hand. As soon as he got up and wanted to get a new shell, the bullet from the second lieutenant's sniper gun arrived. The German soldier who was shot tilted and fell on the soldier who was pulling the gun rope.

When the soldier saw his companion fall on him, he was immediately terrified, because he couldn't understand how his companion suddenly fell with blood all over his body. Maybe he thought it was a stray bullet, so he hid his whole body behind the baffle of the cannon. Before he knew what was going on, the fifth bullet fired by the second lieutenant fell down again, and the German soldier lost his life before he could even shout.

After these five shots, Lieutenant Vassily took them back. At that time, I asked him strangely, "Comrade second lieutenant, why don't you fight the enemy next to the other two cannons?"

The second lieutenant gave me a hand and said to me in a low voice, "if the enemy finds out that the Gunners of one of their guns are dead, it will certainly arouse suspicion. Not to mention that they will turn the muzzle of the tank, even if they recruit a group of infantry, we can't cope with it. Before they find out, we'll move immediately. "

Although the second lieutenant said that, I was still dubious. However, since it was the order of the superior, it could not be discussed and could only be carried out unconditionally. So I had to follow the second lieutenant back with a stiff head. "

"Have you been found by the enemy?" Leonid stopped his pen again and asked curiously.

Boris nodded, then shook his head violently. Seeing his contradictory reaction, kirilov said impatiently: "chief, what do you mean by nodding first and then shaking your head? We now ask you, have you ever been found by the enemy. You just need to answer, "do we have it or not?"

Boris was silent for a moment, and then answered decisively, "Comrade political commissar, although the enemy noticed something in their rear, they did not find us. Not long after we evacuated, the enemy tanks turned their guns and carried out blind shelling on the buildings on both sides of the street. The buildings we used to lurk in were collapsed in the shelling. "

In order to prevent Boris from being interrupted by kirilov and Leonid, I asked, "next, where did you destroy the other five German soldiers?"

"Report master," said Boris with a proud smile on his face, "still in the same position."

"What, the same place?" When he said that, not only me, but all the people in the room except him and Vassily were stunned. After a while kirilov hesitated and asked, "didn't you say you were retreating?"

Boris nodded and replied, "yes, we did retreat after the elimination of five German soldiers. But when the enemy's shelling was over, Lieutenant Vassily told me that once the enemy didn't find us, they would leave soon. If we dive back again, there may be unexpected results. In this way, our group returned to the street just now. At this time, the artillery and the body of the enemy on the street were removed, and they chose the hiding place again, quietly waiting for the new prey to take the bait.

After about half an hour, three German soldiers returned from the direction of the credo gully and walked along the street towards our hiding place. At that time, I quietly asked lieutenant Vassily, "there are three enemies. Which one shall we fight first?" Lieutenant Vassily told me in a low voice, "when the enemy passes under the building where we are, kill the last one first. It's not easy to attract the enemy's attention. Then, take out the enemy who is in the front. When the enemy in the middle sees that his companions in front and behind have been killed, in a short time, he will have a moment's hesitation in order to run forward or run backward. At this time, we can easily kill him. " When three enemies passed our downstairs, Lieutenant Vassily shot the last one decisively and killed the first two when they were panicked. The enemy walking in the middle, as the second lieutenant analyzed, did not immediately run forward or backward, but stood in a daze and seemed to be thinking about where to run. Comrade Lieutenant may not have given him so much time to think about it. He shot him to God decisively. " The people in the room couldn't help laughing at Boris's humorous speech. After laughing for a while, Leonid asked, "what else, two German soldiers?"“ Originally, we thought today's victory was over. Unexpectedly, just as we were going to get up and leave, the roar of motorcycles came from the street. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tricycle coming towards us with two German soldiers on board. After killing the German soldier in the sidecar in a standing posture, comrade Vassili killed him cleanly without waiting for the motorcyclist to recover. "
