Chapter 782

At first, the sound of gunfire and explosion only sounded in the east of the city, then in the north and West, and then in half of the city. Everywhere you can see the rising fire and hear the sound of gunfire.

I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was 10 minutes before 4 a.m., and the attack of a regiment on the city actually started. Judging from the intensity of the battle, the attack they adopted was not a sneak attack as we had agreed in advance, but a strong attack. Looking at the still quiet south gate, I felt a little comfort in my heart. My heart said: "although the ability of lieutenant colonel kosga is poor, his work is quite reassuring. Before the attack time, I didn't let the troops launch the attack rashly."

Just think of here, suddenly heard the hillside lively, there are people shouting. I listened attentively, and heard as if a commander was shouting, "go ahead!" Then there was a chorus of throats: "forward, forward!"

"Hell," bantaileiev obviously heard the following news. He said angrily, "what does Colonel kosga want to do? Do you want the soldiers to rush up and die like this?"

With the help of the light of the flare, I saw countless commanders and fighters standing up in the grass under the hillside, marching towards the city gate in a neat line.

"Damn Colonel kosga," I said indignantly, "he may have heard that there was a fight in the city, and he was afraid that all the contributions would be taken away by the first regiment, so he couldn't wait to order the soldiers of the third regiment to attack."

Seeing the troops rushing out of the grass, the German troops standing in the barricade at the entrance were terrified. While desperately firing flares into the air, while shooting at our troops, the barricade fortifications lit up a large muzzle flame. The rain of bullets of various calibres, like wind, splashed on the officers and men marching forward in a neat line.

When the distance is far away, the enemy's bullets are not a threat, but as our troops get closer and closer to the fortifications, casualties inevitably appear. Looking at the fallen soldiers in the queue, my heart was like a knife. I quickly called Vingo to him and told him: "corporal, you go to find commander kosga immediately. Just say it's my order that he immediately stop the present attack tactics of death."

"Yes With a promise, Wingle bent down and ran down the hill.

Although I know that it is impossible for Arsene to convey my order to commander kosga immediately, I am still very anxious to see the falling commanders and fighters. I raised my telescope and looked into the city. I was afraid that if I saw any moving lights on the dark street, it would mean that the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles were out. In the open grassland, tanks against our infantry without anti tank weapons will be a one-sided massacre.

I didn't expect that the more I worried about what was coming, in my telescope lens, there were really moving lights on the street. I quickly patted Bantai leiev and said to him anxiously, "Comrade deputy division commander, look at the streets in the city. It seems that the enemy's tanks are out."

Bantai leiev raised his telescope and looked in the direction I was pointing to. Then he sighed and said, "Sir, you are right. It's really a German tank. It seems to be followed by an armored car. " After that, he said with regret to the commanders and fighters who were rushing bravely to the German position: "Alas, it's a pity, so many brave commanders and fighters, I don't know how many people will be left after this battle?"

The troops of the third regiment were getting closer and closer to the barricade at the south entrance of the city. When they were less than 100 meters away, all the officers and men who rushed in front of them, except those who were shot and fell down, were lying on the ground and shooting at the enemy hiding in the barricade.

I pointed to the barricade, which was spewing the flame of death, and said indignantly, "damned Krauts, if Morozov's artillery camp is here, I'll let him blow you all out with one shot!"

As soon as the words were heard, there was an earth shaking explosion at the corner of the street. There was a fire in the barricade on the left side of the street, and several soldiers were lifted out of it by the blast.

Not only me, but also Bantai leiev was shocked by this unexpected change. We looked at each other. After a long time, I asked tentatively, "Comrade deputy division commander, you see, it seems that the barricade of the enemy exploded?"

"Yes, I saw it, too." Bantai leiev also said mistily: "is it our commander's bullet that hit the enemy's accumulated ammunition and caused the explosion?"

Before we could come to a conclusion, there was another explosion in the street. This time, it was the barricade on the right. If the explosion just now was an explosion caused by our army's bullets hitting the enemy's accumulated ammunition, as bantailiev said, then what happened to this explosion?

When the third explosion sounded, all the answers were revealed. It turned out that the explosion was caused by a shell fired by a tank parked in the street, and the target of the attack was not our troops outside the city, but the German soldiers who were struggling. In such cases, if I can't figure out what's going on, I'm not qualified to be a teacher. I excitedly pointed to the place where the fire and smoke were rising, and excitedly said to Bantai leiev: "Comrade deputy division commander, look, look, the German barricade factory has been destroyed by us again. It wasn't the bullets of our soldiers that hit the ammunition in the enemy fortifications, but the guns of the tanks that stopped in the street. Oh, my God, they must have done it. They must have captured the enemy's tanks and turned their guns against the enemy's fortifications. "

Seeing that the fortifications at the corner of the street were destroyed, the defenders who stood by the fortifications were dead or wounded, and the commanders and fighters who had been suppressed by the enemy's firepower jumped up from the ground one after another and rushed to the city with weapons. When I saw more and more officers and men rushing into the city quickly over the bombed barricades, I was relieved to know that the city was basically taken.

Because our troops were absolutely superior, and the enemy was caught off guard by us, the German resistance in the city was sporadic and weak. In less than half an hour, the sound of gunfire and explosion, which had been heard everywhere, became sparse. I know that this is the end of the battle, so I confidently and boldly said to bantailiev, "come on, comrade deputy division commander, when we go from here to the city, all the battles will be over."

Bantai leiev held up a rifle which I didn't know from which guard soldier, and said to me with pride: "even if the battle is not over, it doesn't matter. I haven't had a face-to-face fight with the German for a long time. My hand is itching. I just want to find some unfortunate men to try this rifle."

The two of us, surrounded by the soldiers of the guard company, walked down the hillside and met kosja, who was brought by Arsene Wenger. As for the head of the third regiment, I didn't give him a good look. You know, he hasn't been under my command for a day or two. In today's battle, he even arranged such a dense formation to launch an attack, causing unnecessary casualties in vain.

Kosga was obviously aware of his mistake and stood in the same place. In the end, leiev couldn't see it, so he came out and said, "well, sir, don't blame lieutenant colonel kosga any more. He was also eager to fight, so he couldn't wait to launch the attack. Moreover, the commanders and fighters of the second battalion of the third regiment are almost all the recruits I brought in at the beginning. They are lack of training. They can face the fierce firepower of the enemy. They not only don't flee, but also bravely rush forward without flinching. I think it's great. "

Since Bantai leiev all came out to help them speak and let me teach cosga a lesson in front of the commanders and fighters of the third regiment, I couldn't do it, so I said gently, "come on, commander cosga."

Cosga didn't expect my attitude to change so quickly. He stood still and asked foolishly, "go, where?"

Without saying a word, I kicked him and said angrily, "where can I go? Of course, it's going into the city to join the troops of a regiment. " With that, I passed him and headed for the city.

Walking past the barricade, which was still smoldering with corpses, and then the burning wood in the barricade, I saw a German tank parked in the street in front of me, and there were seven or eight soldiers in German uniforms standing in front of the tank. From the white towel tied on their arms, I could judge my subordinates.

Seeing the appearance of a large number of us, the people on the opposite side quickly welcomed us. When they approached, I could see that busmanov was leading the team. He came to us and stood at attention. Without salute, he began to report: "Comrade division commander, Captain busmanov, commander of guard battalion, reported to you that we have successfully captured the enemy's baggage and captured the tanks and armored vehicles parked in the square. In the battle just now, we used the captured tanks to provide necessary artillery support for our offensive forces! "

"Well done, well done!" Bantaileiev stepped forward, took his hand and said with emotion, "it is precisely because your task has been completed well that our attack on the city today can be so smooth."

After Bantai leiev released basmanov's hand, I also went forward to shake hands with him, and asked: "is there a big casualty?" Although I didn't specify which army had suffered a great deal of casualties, busmanov understood that what I asked was the team he was leading, which pretended to be a German army. He quickly replied, "report to division commander, one person was killed and two others were injured."

When I heard that they had achieved so much with such a small number of casualties, a smile finally appeared on my face. I nodded with satisfaction, praised him and said, "good job, Captain busmanov. When I get back to mamayev post, I will record the merits for you and your subordinates. When you are free later, you will sort out their names and give them to the Deputy teacher. "

From here to the occupied German headquarters, we couldn't go by tank, so we had to walk. When I was walking side by side with busmanov, I asked him curiously, "Comrade captain, tell me how you captured the enemy's baggage."

Basmanov agreed, and then began to report to me the process of their seizure of the baggage: "when we arrived outside the city in an armored car, we were stopped by the German soldiers in the barricade. When I heard the German talking outside the car, my heart beat faster. The pistol was only in my hand, and the muzzle of the gun was secretly aimed at Braun. If he gave a hint to the German, I would shoot without hesitation.

In the end, however, there was no danger. Braun was very cooperative with us. He told the German soldiers outside the car that we had just finished the search and came back to the city to have a rest. When the Germans heard that, they let our armored vehicles go.

When our armored car came to the square, a German soldier commanded us to stop between the tank and the armored car. At that time, I was very happy. I was still worried about how to get close to the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles. I didn't expect that someone would give me a pillow when I was about to doze off. The German actually let us park the car next to the tank. This is really great.

When we got out of the car, I looked around and found that there were only three soldiers guarding the tanks. On the contrary, there were a lot of German soldiers guarding the baggage, about 20, but they were very scattered. I made a sign to the soldiers around me, and they decisively took out the three German soldiers who were in charge of the tank. Then we divided into two groups to hunt down the German soldiers who were scattered to guard the baggage. When the enemy was almost killed by us, I suddenly thought of a problem, and suddenly I was in a cold sweat. "“ What's on your mind? " Bantai leiev asked curiously“ We've killed so many German soldiers at once. If the troops who come to change their posts find that all the people here are gone, will we be exposed soon? " Busmanov replied“ In the end, it didn't show I said disapprovingly, and then urged busmanov: "Captain, you go on, what happened?" Basmanov agreed, and then said: "but since we have killed almost all the German soldiers guarding the baggage, it is not so easy to stop. In this way, we have made clear all the German soldiers near the baggage in a few minutes. Soon, a soldier found that there were several tents not far from the baggage, which seemed to be for the rest of the German soldiers guarding the baggage. I'll send someone to check it. I found four German soldiers sleeping in each tent, all asleep. So, I decisively issued an order to the soldiers, let them two into the tent, with a dagger to solve the enemy inside. As the enemy was asleep, the soldiers who went in to carry out the task soon finished the task and came out. After cleaning five tents in a row, we came to the last one. But when I went in, I found that there was no one inside. When I asked Braun, I knew that this was the tent where the officers were resting. If it wasn't there, I would have reported to the battalion. I asked the soldiers to hide all the German bodies, and then they dressed as soldiers on guard and stopped in the square, patiently waiting for the German officers to report back. "
