Chapter 794

A few minutes later, I had a clear view of the long German line through my telescope. The first thing that caught my eye was a German armored vehicle, followed by a long line of tanks in a single formation, followed by numerous trucks, some of which were still towing artillery. On the road, the long lines of German tanks and trucks could not be seen at a glance. It seemed that there were at least one or two hundred tanks and trucks.

When the leading armored vehicles arrived at the area where they were ambushed last night, they stopped, and then the following tanks stopped one after another. Seeing this scene, my heart beat faster unconsciously. My heart said how the Germans stopped. Did I find them?

But I have this worry. Even bandeleev has found this problem. He said to me anxiously, "Comrade teacher, how can the Germans stop moving forward? Commander shejerikov's troops are hidden nearby. They won't be found by the Germans, will they

At the moment, I'm so confused that I don't know how to answer Bantai leiev's question. When he saw that I didn't speak, he repeated the question just now. Only then did I feel a little calmer and said calmly: "don't worry, comrade deputy division commander. If the enemy found out about them, they should have fired long ago. Let's wait and see what the Germans want to do? "

Soon, one by one, I saw German tanks leaving the road and entering the grassy grassland, lining up towards our Highlands, with their Black Muzzles pointing at us. The artillery towed by the car was also unloaded from the back of the car by the German artillery and pushed to the back of the tank, with the muzzle facing our high ground.

I realized that the German army had just stopped advancing. It was not that they had found the hidden shejerikov, but that they were ready to shell us first and then send infantry to attack us. Thinking that they were not found by the German army, I can't help but feel relieved. As long as they attack from the enemy's side by surprise, they will surely cause heavy damage to the enemy.

When I saw Bantai leiev with a serious expression, I quickly pretended to be calm and said to him easily: "Comrade deputy division commander, we are lucky that the enemy didn't find them..." as soon as I said this, there was a earth shaking noise outside. My voice was suddenly drowned by a boom of explosion.

I know that the German army began to test fire, and immediately took advantage of the gap between the explosions, yelled at a soldier standing at the door as a guard: "Comrade soldier, you go to tell captain shereblenny immediately, let the troops hide immediately, and the enemy will start shelling."

Shortly after the soldiers left, the distant rows of tank shells and shrapnel shells fell on our position like a storm. Many shells landed near the observation post and exploded, shaking the place under our feet violently. The air in the observation center was full of smoke, which made me cough.

Bantai leiev heard my cough, turned to look at me, took advantage of the gap between the explosions, and yelled at me: "Sir, the Germans began to bombard us fiercely. I expect that after the bombardment, the garrison on the Highlands will suffer heavy casualties. Do you want them to attack?"

"No way," I said after hearing what bandeleev said. I immediately rejected his proposal, coughing and shouting: "it's not the time yet. Now that the battle has just begun, if we attack rashly, the armored forces of shejerikov will not reach the Germans. We must wait until the German tanks charge towards the Highlands before ordering them to attack. "

As for my obstinacy, bandeleev had no choice but to nod his head and agree with me.

"Teacher, deputy teacher, where are you?" At the door came shereblenny's cry of panic. I quickly turned around and glared at the new captain, trying to see if he was frightened by the German artillery.

He rushed over, reached for me and Bantai leiev's hand, and went out as hard as he could. At the same time, he kept shouting, "no, it's too dangerous here. You all go back to the camp headquarters with me."

"Comrade captain," bantaileiev shook his hand, broke free from the other party's hand, and exclaimed discontentedly, "we will stay here to observe the changes in the battlefield more clearly."

"No, absolutely not." Shereblenny seized bandeleev's hand again and dragged him out with me. At the moment, I understand that shereblenny's panic was not because he was afraid of German shelling, but because he was worried about our safety. I can't help feeling a little moved.

I was about to follow shereblenny back to the command post when a terrible sound came out very close to me. Then it seemed that someone pushed me heavily. The huge inertia made me fall forward and put shereblenny on the ground. Then, I felt a heavy body and hit me heavily, The pain made my tears flow out.

The soldiers waiting in the trench outside the observation post saw that several of us fell to the ground and quickly came forward to help us. With the help of two soldiers, I stood up and looked at the observation post. I saw that a big hole had been blasted in the wall next to the lookout entrance where bantailiev and I had just stayed. Suddenly, I was scared out in a cold sweat. If it hadn't been for shereblenny's timely pulling us out, we would have been very lucky.

Surrounded by a group of soldiers, we bent down and ran quickly to the command post. Not far away, another shell exploded in front of the trench. With the cannonball, the two soldiers who ran in the front fell down without saying a word. The soldiers who followed them bent down to help them, but heard the roar of shereblenny: "don't worry about them, send the division commander to the command post first."

With his shouts, the soldier who was going to cure his comrades straightened up again and continued to run forward with his weapons. When I passed by the two fallen soldiers, I found them lying on the ground motionless. I didn't know whether they were sacrificed or stunned by the blast of the bomb. Without waiting to come up with a reason, I have been carried forward by the left and right soldiers.

When I walked into the command post, I saw the operator sitting by the wall and the telephone set in front of him. I turned around and asked the following shereblenne curiously, "Comrade captain, why is the operator here?" I'm not blaming shereblenny for letting the operator come to the command post from the communication room without authorization. I'm just worried about the bad communication signal here.

Unexpectedly, Xie liebolianei misunderstood me and quickly explained, "Comrade division, since the shelter in the communication room is as strong as here, I asked the health personnel to send the wounded there. Because there are too many wounded people, we have to report to the command post. "

I took a look at the nervous shereblenny and asked in a smooth voice, "what's the signal like here? It won't affect our communication with other troops, will it?"

After listening to my question, Xie lieboliang immediately understood that he had misunderstood me and quickly reported, "please rest assured, sir, that the communication between here and the outside world will not be affected in any way."

The soldier helped me to the table and sat down, then consciously stood on both sides. I looked up at shereblenny and said to him, "Comrade captain, please send someone to see the two soldiers immediately. They may be injured. If they are not treated in time, the situation will be very dangerous."

Shereblenny nodded and told the two soldiers standing beside me, "you two, go and take the wounded soldiers to the temporary medical room."

Looking at the back of the two soldiers leaving, I gave shereblenny a smile and said gratefully, "thank you, comrade captain. Since you didn't show up in time, we don't know what will happen at the moment. "

As soon as my voice fell, bantailiev limped over, took shereblenny's hand, shook it vigorously, and said gratefully, "Captain shereblenny, not only the division commander wants to thank you, but I also want to thank you. If you hadn't risked your life and ran into the observation center in time to save us, my teacher and I would have gone to see Marx. "

In the face of my thanks and Bantai leiev's thanks, shereblenny didn't know what to say and began to laugh sheepishly.

At this moment, the operator in front of the telephone with headphones and transmitter called to me: "Sir, comrade, commander xiejerikov wants to talk to you."

Although I didn't provide them with a special radio station, they could use the car radio in the tank to contact us. When they heard that he wanted to talk to me, I knew that he saw the German troops shelling our highlands. He couldn't help but wanted to lead the troops to attack.

As soon as I put on the earphone, I heard the voice of Sergei reekov: "Hello, Hello, is that the teacher? I'm shijerikov. "

"It's me," I asked in a flat voice. "What can I do for you?"

"That's true, sir." "I see the tanks of the enemy's artillery are shelling our highlands. I'd like to ask you if you can attack now," said chejerikov in a hurry

"Attack, why attack?" My rhetorical question left xiejerikov speechless. After listening to him, I explained, "Comrade commander, be patient. The enemy's shelling on us has just begun, and their infantry are not in position yet. If we attack at this time, German tanks will be able to turn their guns around to destroy you. Even if you're lucky enough to wipe out most of the German tanks, what about their infantry? There are a lot of anti tank men in it. Do you think that with your few tanks and armored vehicles, you can defeat a infantry regiment strengthened by tanks and artillery? "

When I finished, xiejerikov asked carefully, "Comrade teacher, when should we attack?"

"Wait a little longer, comrade commander." I have just observed that the number of enemy tanks is several times more than ours. If we want to gain the upper hand in the battle with them, we must fire from the back of the German tanks so that we can surprise them. In order to prevent shijerikov from losing his breath, I specially stressed to him: "when the German tanks cover the infantry's forward assault, you will attack decisively to destroy or capture the enemy's artillery, and then beat them from behind the enemy's tanks." Speaking of this, I suddenly thought that there was an infantry unit lying in ambush on the slope. I was worried, "by the way, the unit lying in ambush on the slope will not make the mistake of attacking without authorization again, will it?"

"No, sir, please rest assured." Shejerikov obviously understood what I was saying. Last night, he thought that the company commander had led the troops to attack without authorization. The company suffered heavy casualties and almost made the German win. He solemnly said to me: "I gave orders to the troops who were ambushed on the slope. They said they didn't see my tanks attack. Even if the German's leather boots stepped on their nose, they had to lie there motionless. They were not allowed to expose the target."

After listening to the promise of xiejerikov, the last worry in my heart disappeared. I nodded and said with satisfaction, "well, comrade commander, then I and the deputy division commander will wait for your victory on the high ground." As soon as the earphones and the transmitter were put down, leiev and shereblenny gathered around the bandstand. Bantai leiev asked with concern: "Comrade teacher, what does lieutenant commander xiejerikov say?" With a smile on my face, I answered them, "shejerikov, seeing the Germans shelling our Highlands, was a little upset. He asked me when I was going to attack. I told him that when the enemy's tanks covered the infantry and advanced to our Highlands, they would resolutely rush to the German artillery positions, strive to capture the enemy's artillery, and beat the Germans from behind with their artillery and tank guns, so that they could know what the end would be against our red flag independent division. " The frenzied German bombardment of our highlands lasted about twenty minutes. Shortly after the shelling ended, a disheartened observation post ran in from the outside and yelled at us: "report, enemy tanks, covering a battalion of infantry, are coming towards our high ground." At the end of the observation post's report, I shook my head at shereblenny and said, "come on, comrade captain, let's go outside and see what's going on." Then he turned to the desk and said, "Comrade deputy division commander, if you are injured, please stay at the command post. If the political commissar has any telegrams, you can just receive them here. " Bantai leiev recognized my concern for him from what I said, so he didn't express any objection. He just nodded with a smile and said as I said: "well, since the teacher said so, I will stay in charge of keeping in touch with the political commissar. It's dangerous outside. Be careful. "“ Come on, comrade captain After I finished this sentence, I took the lead to walk outside the command post.
