Chapter 750

I stood in the headquarters, listening to the incessant roar of guns outside, looking at trekov and krailov commanding the troops through the telephone, and secretly lamented that I still had a lot to learn to become such a powerful commander, otherwise, the division of the independent division would be the end of my official career.

The counterattack against the tractor factory was successfully completed before daybreak, and the troops under his command, with the cooperation of Colonel berey and lieutenant colonel weinrub, basically wiped out the German troops in the factory. At the end of the battle, according to the order of the group army, shejerikov asked the commanders and fighters to build new fortifications as soon as possible.

After daybreak, I suddenly heard trekov tell krailov: "chief of staff, I want to go outside to have a look. You and the political commissar are responsible for the affairs in the headquarters."

When I heard that trakov said he was going out to have a look, I thought to myself, won't you ask me to go with him again? You know, I accompanied him to the observation center yesterday. If it wasn't for some bad luck, I would have been killed by the falling stone. I was praying to myself that trekov would not ask me to accompany him to the outside to observe the war. Trekov's eyes had already swept over me. Then he stayed on me, raised his chin at me and said, "Comrade oshanina, what are you still standing there doing? Why don't you clean up and go outside with me? "

It's a blessing, not a curse. I can't avoid it. Although I'm reluctant to accompany trakov to the observation center, since he publicly announced that he would let me accompany him to the observation center, I had to carry the submachine gun by the wall and follow him out.

I walked out of the headquarters and scanned the smoldering city. I found that after a day and a night of fighting, the surrounding buildings above the ground were almost destroyed by gunfire, except for a few more dense buildings in the direction of the factory area. I followed trakov, walking cautiously along the traffic moat. When I leave, I have to keep looking down at my feet to avoid tripping over the bricks or corpses that suddenly appear.

We came to a building with only half a wall left. Trekov stopped, looked up and said to me, "Comrade oshanina, this building is the tallest in the neighborhood. Let's go up and have a look."

I didn't object to his proposal, so I had to say, "OK, comrade commander."

As the stairs leading to the upper floor were blown off, we climbed to the second floor with the help of the guards. I took a look at the broken stairs below and said in my heart that it would not be easy for us to escape if the enemy shelled us here.

Because most of the buildings around have become bricks and stones, so our vision here is very wide, everything around is in our sight.

Trekov and I stood side by side in front of a hollowed out window, raising our binoculars and looking into the distance. At the moment, in the trenches of the tractor factory, many people are busy nervously. It seems that they are carrying out the work of transporting ammunition, collecting the bodies of comrades in arms, and treating the wounded.

On the open field outside the tractor factory, the wreckage of more than a dozen burned black tanks was lying in disorder. In terms of appearance, there are not only German tanks No. 3 and No. 4, but also our T-34 tanks. There are a lot of our commanders and fighters around the wreckage of the tanks.

Seeing this scene, trikov pointed to it and asked me curiously, "Comrade oshanina, what are the soldiers doing around the wreckage of the enemy's tanks?"

I have just seen the clothes of the commanders and fighters through the telescope, and I know that they are all subordinates of commander shijerikov, so I know the reason why they are wandering around the wreckage of the tank. When I heard the question from trakov, I quickly replied, "Comrade commander, it's like this. Those commanders and fighters belong to our independent division. They intend to build fire points under the wreckage of tanks, which can kill a lot of German infantry

"Build fire points under the wreckage of tanks?" After listening to my explanation, trikov frowned and thought for a moment. Then his brow widened and he said with a smile, "yes, that's a good idea. As long as the enemy's artillery does not directly overturn the wreckage of the tank, the survival rate of the soldiers hiding below is quite high. Even if the German army finds these firepower points, it will take a lot of time to clear them one by one. "

In this area where fierce fighting is about to take place, I only saw the troops of shejerikov, the tanks of Colonel bierre and weinroub, but I didn't see any trace. So I turned my observation to the tramwaynaya street in front of the tractor factory and the area to the West. After careful observation, I finally found the tank troops hidden in the ruins.

Colonel berey's troops were hidden two hundred meters away on both sides of the street, because the tanks were hidden in the ruins of one person high and covered with camouflage nets. If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to find them. Seeing the positions set up by Colonel berey and lieutenant colonel weinroub, I couldn't help nodding. Because of the land mines laid on the road, when they destroyed the enemy's tanks, the German infantry would be blocked by the land mines. However, when the number of enemies gathered reached a certain level, our distant artillery fire could cover them, At the same time, we will not hurt our tanks by mistake.

Just then, the enemy's shelling of the city began. Their main target of attack is the tractor factory which has just been recovered by our army, but at the same time, there are still roaring shells falling on the explosion not far away from us, and the air waves caused by the explosion hit the wall Dangdang. At the beginning, I would instinctively squat down to avoid the debris that might fly by and hit people. Later, after I was numb to the explosion, I learned from trakov and stood still in front of the shabby window, looking at the factory area in the distance. Before the enemy's shelling stopped, I felt the earth trembling slightly. It was the German armored forces approaching. I slowly turned my telescope to the West and saw dozens of German tanks approaching fiercely. After the dust on the road was crushed by the tracks, it was high in the air. The tanks were followed by armored cars and trucks full of soldiers. Looking into the distance, you can see many soldiers getting out of the car and walking, in loose attack formation, marching along the road to the tractor factory. The shells flying in from outside the city passed over the German attack line and landed very densely on the position of our tractor factory. The moving German tanks did not rush forward blindly, but stopped and fired from time to time, or fired at a slow speed. From time to time, fire and smoke rose from the bombarded positions, and the broken logs, parts of various guns and broken limbs and arms were thrown into the air“ The Germans are so mean. " Although he saw that our army was suffering losses in its position, trakov, who was observing the enemy's situation, said in a scornful tone: "there are two tank divisions, but you see, they only sent out more than 20 tanks." I just laughed at what trakov said, but there was no interface. But he said in his heart: if it wasn't for the aging tank troops of Colonel berey and lieutenant colonel weinroub who destroyed hundreds of enemy tanks and armored vehicles last night, what you would see at this time would be a torrent of iron and steel pressing against the tractor factory. With our existing crude equipment, we would not be able to stop the enemy's attack. When the German tanks entered the range of Colonel berey's troops, the tanks lying in ambush on both sides fired decisively. In a series of explosions, nearly half of the German tanks on the road were fuming, or simply lying down in their nests, standing in the same place, exploding or burning. All of a sudden, the German tanks stopped moving and tried to turn around to find a safe place to hide. However, because the road was blocked by many destroyed tanks, the space for movement was small, and the evasive action of the remaining tanks led to a chaos on the battlefield.
