In the process of waiting for the platoon leaders to report the casualties, it seems that there is someone's groan near me, and someone is shouting something. With the shouts, a man with a helmet, a medicine box and a red cross cuff on his arm ran down the trench. After running past me, he ran forward a few steps, then stopped and squatted down.

I looked curiously and saw a soldier lying on the ground in the corner of the trench. His body was strangely bent and his hands were on his stomach. There was another soldier squatting beside him. Obviously, the health worker came to treat him specially. After taking out bandages and other things from the medicine box, he opened the hands of the soldier covering his stomach and began to treat him.

I was watching the medical staff treating the wounded when I heard Mikhailov's voice: "Sir, comrade, I have found you. Are you ok?"

I turned and saw Mikhailov, who had just jumped into the trench, nodded at him with a smile, and then asked, "Comrade corporal, are lieutenant prulli's armored units scattered and hidden?"

"It's been hidden for a long time." After answering my question, Mikhailov nervously said, "after the order was delivered, I took the armored car and withdrew to the rear of the position with them. As soon as I saw the German troops in the artillery position, I was worried about your safety, so I came back specially. "

At this time, Captain dubrovsky and company commander captain Rosenberg came to me.

Seeing two commanders appear in front of me, I asked directly, "how are the casualties of the troops?"

"Seventeen were killed and thirty-eight wounded." Captain Rosenberg answered preemptively.

"I see. Before we saw the enemy, we lost 55 people." Hearing such a number of casualties, I can't help but say sadly, "in this way, there will be less than half of the commanders and fighters left in the company."

"Comrade teacher, what you said is wrong." As soon as I finished, dubrovsky corrected me and said, "our battalion is a reinforced battalion, with 230 people in each company. In addition to the guard platoon of the battalion, there are a total of 800 people." At this point, he can not help but feel relieved, "fortunately, before the shelling, you let the second company and the third company withdraw in time, otherwise so many people crowded in this trench, we will pay more casualties."

"Comrades commanders," I said solemnly, looking at the two battalion and company commanders in front of me, "before the German attack begins, you should immediately organize people to repair the fortifications. At the same time, you should send reconnaissance teams to find out the general situation of the enemy, so that we can take targeted deployment."

The two commanders agreed and turned to carry out my mission. After the two left, I asked Mikhailov: "in the shelling just now, were the casualties of the guard class large?"

Mikhailov looked left and right for a moment, and said to me with some embarrassment: "Sir, I can't answer you that. You know, I just came back to the trench after the shelling. " Suddenly he thought of something and said to me, "Comrade division, when I was retreating with lieutenant prulli, I heard him talk about one thing."

"What's the matter, comrade corporal?" I asked faintly.

Mihailov pointed to a place to the north and said to me, "Comrade division commander, Lieutenant prulli told me that he had found a German mine storage site. If I remember correctly, it should be in that position. "

"Mines?" When I heard this helpful thing, I couldn't help but feel happy. But then I thought of the intensive German shelling just now, and my heart became cold again. I asked uncertainly, "I believe you can see the German shelling just now in the distance. Can you confirm the location of this mine, which was not destroyed in the shelling? "

"I don't think so." Mikhailov affirmed: "although the German shelling was very fierce, I didn't find that there was an explosion at the place where the mines were stored. I think the mines should still be there intact."

"It's a pity that captain mihayev's engineering company is not here." although I heard that the mines are still intact in the storage site, I can only look and sigh, "otherwise, I can let him lead people to bury these mines in front of the position, so that when the enemy's infantry rush up, they can still cause certain anti personnel damage."

"Don't worry, sir." Mikhailov confidently said: "this matter is up to me. I'll take the soldiers of the guard team to mine."

"Well, take more soldiers and try to use all the mines there. If the Germans don't come, they will. Once they do, they will be given a taste of the power of land mines. "

I was deeply afraid that Mikhailov's rank was too low to command a battalion of soldiers. I also specifically called captain dubrovsky over and asked him to arrange some people to follow Mikhailov to carry out the task. When dubrovsky heard that corporal Mikhailov was going to take people to plant mines, he immediately summoned twenty soldiers and followed Mikhailov out of the position.

Looking at Mikhailov's back as they left, dubrovsky asked anxiously, "Comrade division, is it still time to lay a mine? I'm afraid that as soon as they start to mine, the German troops will rush up. "

"Don't worry, comrade captain. Corporal Mikhailov is also a veteran who has participated in many battles. He will know how to adapt to circumstances. When laying mines, he will arrange special personnel to be on guard. "

After about twenty minutes, I could see Mikhailov running towards the trench with a group of soldiers from a distance. I took a picture of dubrovsky next to him and said to him with some pride, "well, comrade captain, I'm not wrong. As long as corporal Mikhailov leads the team, nothing will happen. Aren't they all back safely?"

As soon as Mikhailov jumped into the trench, I grabbed him and asked, "what's up, comrade corporal, are all the mines buried?"

"Bury it, bury it, sir." Replied mihailov breathlessly. After a few breaths, he reported to me, "a total of 110 mines have been laid. As soon as our mines were laid, we found German troops moving towards us in the distance. "

"The Germans are coming up?" Although I had long guessed that the German army might launch an attack on us after the shelling, I was still a little nervous when I heard that the German army was coming. I quickly asked Mikhailov, "corporal, do you see how many troops they have and do you have tanks and armored vehicles?"

Mikhailov shook his head and said in embarrassment, "we were in retreat at that time. We didn't have time to look at it."

Hearing his reply, I was so angry that I almost kicked him. I was going to send someone to spy on him. Captain Rosenberg came along the trench with a soldier and reported to me, "Comrade division commander, our scout is back. According to his report, the enemy's troops are moving towards us and will appear in front of our position in a few minutes. "

When I learned that the scout was standing in front of me, I quickly repeated the question I had just asked Mikhailov, and then quietly waited for the other party's answer.

When the Scout heard my question, he straightened up and replied nervously: "report to the division commander, it is estimated that our reconnaissance team has sent out a company of infantry, under the cover of two armored vehicles, moving towards our army."

"Only two armored vehicles? Comrade scout, are you sure you read it right? " Although my tone was very kind, everyone could hear my suspicion from my words. When the German army launched an attack on our army, they would send tanks to cooperate. This time, only armored cars were sent out, which was just two. It was a bit incredible.

"Yes, yes, sir." The scouts also recognized my suspicion and quickly explained in a loud voice: "we have repeatedly confirmed that the German army really only sent out one company of infantry and two armored vehicles."

"I see. Comrade soldier, it's none of your business here. Go down first. " After I sent the scouts away, I asked dubrovsky, "Comrade captain, what do you think of this?"

Dubrovsky frowned and thought about it carefully. Then he replied, "Comrade division, I guess it's just two cases: first, the German army can't find out what we are, so it's just sending a small army to test us; Second, the German forces are too scattered to be mobilized at night. It is the only reserve that the German commander can mobilize to attack us. " After that, seeing that I was lost in thought, I quickly added, "in either case, the situation is very favorable for us. Our troops and equipment are almost the same as those of the German army. It should not be difficult to beat back their attack. The only trouble is the two German armored vehicles. We don't have anti tank weapons. To deal with them, we have to let the soldiers bomb them with cluster grenades. "

When I heard dubrovsky's worry, I said with disapproval, "don't worry. Although there are no anti tank weapons, we still have tanks." Then I told Mikhailov, "Comrade corporal, I now give you a glorious and arduous task. You go back to lieutenant prulli immediately, and let him lead the armored forces to detour from the German flank, cut off the enemy's retreat, and strive for the complete annihilation of the attacking enemy. "

Not long after Mikhailov left, there was an earth shaking explosion more than 100 meters in front of the position. I followed the example and saw that the German infantry had entered our minefield. The mines under their feet were trampled one after another. A huge explosion and a heavy smoke and fire with the enemy's broken limbs and arms were connected. In the sound of the explosion, the screams of the wounded, who tumbled on the ground, could be heard faintly.

Captain dubrovsky, Captain Rosenberg, and their officers and men all laughed and cheered when they saw this scene. I was afraid that they would be too complacent, so I reminded them: "Hey, Captain dubrovsky, why don't you prepare your soldiers for battle?"

Hearing my voice, dubrovsky, ignoring the German tragedy, raised his voice to the left and right and cried, "all at my command, enter the position and prepare for battle!" As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers around him immediately passed on his orders by word of mouth.

In fact, his command is redundant. The commanders and fighters have been in the trench all the time, and their weapons are on the edge of the trench. The so-called preparation for battle is nothing more than machine gun shooters putting their fingers on the trigger, and the rest of the soldiers take out the grenades in their backpacks, twist off the back cover, and put them neatly in front of them.

The combat effectiveness of the German army can't be underestimated. Although the minefields we temporarily deployed caused a lot of casualties to them, nearly half of the soldiers successfully rushed over and continued to rush to our positions with weapons.

Looking at the approaching German soldiers, staring at captain dubrovsky in front of him, he raised his pistol high and said something in a low voice. When the German army's sparse line was less than 50 meters away from our trench, dubrovsky yelled: shoot! Then he shot into the sky, leveled the muzzle, and continued to shoot at the swaying German soldiers.

Although dubrovsky's command was only heard by the soldiers nearby, the sound of the gun was the command. With the sound of his gun, two light machine guns nearby also clattered, and then more and more weapons joined the ranks of shooting. Under the heavy rain of bullets from our army, the 20 or 30 German soldiers who rushed to the front were like bumping into a transparent glass wall. They all leaned back, or fell straight down, or turned around and fell to the ground again. Some crafty German soldiers saw that our army's firepower was too fierce, so they quickly lay on the ground and hid in the dead corner of the shooting to fight us.

The German soldiers were obviously better at shooting than our soldiers. Although their numbers were limited, they also caused us a lot of casualties. The machine gun shooter on my left side was shooting at a fire point in the distance when the gunfire stopped suddenly. Then he jumped forward and pressed on the machine gun.

Seeing that the shooter of the machine gun was shot and killed, the Deputy shooter quickly pushed away his body, moved the machine gun in front of him, put it on the trench wall, took a simple aim and began to shoot. Just hit a half shuttle bullet, suddenly his left hand covered his right shoulder, fell on his back in the trench.

I hesitated for a moment when I saw that the Deputy shooter was shot and fell to the ground. Before I thought about whether I would take over the position of the machine gun shooter, someone had already run past me, seized the machine gun and started to shoot at the German army outside. When I look at it carefully, it turns out that it was captain Rosenberg, a company commander, who took over the position of deputy shooter. While the captain was shooting, one of the soldiers bent down and ran to him. He picked up the fallen Deputy shooter in a low voice and helped him to walk towards the distance.

Seeing that the infantry's attack was frustrated, the armored vehicles that had provided firepower cover behind the whole line could not hold their breath. They increased their horsepower and rushed to our position. At the same time, the machine guns on the vehicles kept shooting, and the dust splashed over the ground.

The German armored cars were getting closer and closer to our position. Several brave German soldiers got up from the ground, followed the armored cars and approached our position carefully. I was thinking about whether to ask captain dubrovsky to send someone to blow up the two tanks when I heard the gunfire. Behind the two approaching armored cars, a stream of mud rushed up, and then there was an explosion. Several unfortunate soldiers who followed fell down.

When I saw the smoke of the shell explosion, the thought flashed through my mind: "what's the matter? Are the Germans firing again? Are they not afraid to hurt their own people by mistake? "

There was another explosion, and the body of the armored car on the left suddenly burst into flames. After the armored car was on fire for several meters, the body suddenly tilted and stopped.

One armored car was destroyed, and the soldiers who had been following were lying on the ground again, but the other car continued to drive out regardless. However, its luck was obviously bad. After driving not far, I saw that it was hit by a high-speed flying object, and the weak armor was immediately torn into a big hole. With an explosion, the armored car was immediately surrounded by raging fire.

Hearing the roar of the motor behind me, I looked back to see what was going on. When I saw a group of tanks and armored vehicles with the German white cross mark rushing towards us, I was in a panic for a moment, but it soon dawned on me that this was lieutenant prulli's armored force.

But as the tank leaped out of our trench, I waved my arms in the roar of the tank motors and cried out, "Lieutenant prulli, move! Go ahead! Go and beat them, beat these damned Germans, and don't let any of them run away. "

When we saw that our armored vehicles were destroyed and our armored forces rushed up again, the Germans who were still lying on the ground either got up and turned around or stayed in the same place and raised their hands high.

Seeing our armored forces rush up, dobrovsky in the trench can't hold his breath. He jumps out of the trench, stands on the high ground, waves his pistol and shouts loudly: "comrades, move forward, move forward!" After shouting, he took the lead and rushed out. The commander rushed up, and the soldiers in the trench also climbed out of the trench one after another, shouting with weapons and rushing up.

Five minutes later, the battle was over. The battlefield was filled with the pungent black smoke from the burned armored vehicles and the smell of barbecue. I can't help feeling nauseous when I think of the smell of barbecue, which comes from the charred German corpses.

Dubrovsky came back to me and reported to me, "Comrade division, the battle is over. We killed 76 people, killed 217 German soldiers, and had no prisoners. "

There are no prisoners. As soon as I heard this, I knew that he was lying. Just now I saw so many German soldiers raising their hands to surrender. He must have thought it was inconvenient to carry German prisoners, so he disposed of them without authorization. But now is not the time to blame him. Our top priority is to leave here as soon as possible and return to mamayev post. So I ignored his killing of prisoners. Instead, I ordered him: "Comrade captain, the German attack has just been repulsed by us. In a short time, we should not launch any more attacks. Therefore, we should use this precious time to withdraw our troops."

"Comrade division, what about the wounded?" As soon as I gave the order, dubrovsky asked.

I was stunned by his question. What did he mean when he asked this question? Did he want to send a grenade to those who could not move, so that they could stay behind and block the German attack for us? Thinking of this, I could not help frowning, and asked discontentedly, "Comrade captain, what do you mean by that? Do you want to leave them all behind? You know, they are our comrades. Is that appropriate? "

Unexpectedly, as soon as my words came out, dubrovsky repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Sir, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that." At this point, he pointed to the tanks and armored vehicles coming towards the trench, and asked carefully, "I want to ask if we can let the disabled move in armored vehicles, so that we can speed up our March?"

I saw an armored car stop not far away from us, and several officers and soldiers from the car came towards us almost without hesitation. I looked at the visitors carefully and found that corporal Mikhailov was walking in front of him, while lieutenant prulli was walking with him. I quickly waved to them and yelled, "Hello! Lieutenant prulli, corporal Mikhailov, come to me quickly

Hearing my voice, pruli and Mikhailov quickened their pace, made their way to the trench and jumped in. Prulli raised his hand to salute me, and respectfully reported: "Comrade division commander, tank lieutenant prulli reported to you that the armored forces have completely annihilated the invading German army, please give instructions!"

"Well done, comrade lieutenant." After praising him, I asked him in a deliberative tone: "Lieutenant prulli, I think you can see that there were a lot of casualties in the shelling and fighting of the German army just now. If soldiers are allowed to carry the wounded on the March, it will affect our marching speed. So I want the wounded to be transferred in your armored vehicle. Don't you have any different opinions? "

Lieutenant prulli shook his head and said, "no, sir." After that, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "but the space in the armored car is limited, and it is estimated that the number of wounded people who can ride is limited."

After listening to him, I waved my hand and said, "Comrade lieutenant, you don't have to worry about this. You can pretend as much as you can. As for the rest of the wounded, it has little impact on us

In this way, Captain Rosenberg and lieutenant prulli, who received my order, began to arrange for the heavy wounded and the light wounded with leg injuries to be carried onto the armored vehicles, while the rest of the light wounded left on foot with the large army.

Looking at the wounded people who fish into the car, dubrovsky said to me, "Comrade division, it's about five kilometers away from 107.5 highland. You might as well take an armored car to leave together." He was so afraid of me that he stressed, "I'll leave the rest of this to captain Rosenberg and me."

Dubrovsky's suggestion really moved me, but it only lasted for a moment and then disappeared. I know in my heart that if I withdraw with the wounded, plus the guards who protect me, at least one armored car will be occupied. In this way, several wounded people will have to endure the pain and follow the troops for a long-distance March, but it will have an impact on my glorious image. After thinking about this matter, I shook my head decisively and said firmly, "no, comrade captain, as I have just said, armored vehicles are for the wounded. Then I can't break my promise, so I'm going to walk out of here like the rest of your soldiers. "

Dubrovsky wanted to persuade me again, but I stopped him. I said stubbornly, "Comrade captain, don't persuade me any more. I'll take it as an order to you. You have been in the army for such a long time, don't you know that the orders of the superior are not allowed to discuss and disobey, but can only be carried out? "

Seeing what I said, dubrovsky had no choice but to agree. Then he assembled his troops and went. While waiting for the wounded to get on the train and assemble the troops, although I said I was calm, I was in a state of great anxiety. I was afraid that the German army would not be reconciled to their defeat and would bombard us here. When so many of us would stay in the open land, wouldn't it be heavy casualties?

However, the final facts proved that I was not worried. The German army neither shelled us nor sent any more troops to attack us. Perhaps, as dubrovsky just analyzed, because it was dark, the German army could not mobilize too many troops in a hurry. After losing the only reserve team, it could not attack us again.

After loading the seriously wounded and the disabled, Lieutenant prulli's armored forces set out. In front of the seven tanks, followed by a long string of armored vehicles, and then followed by our walking infantry.

On the way, dubrovsky asked me anxiously: "Comrade division commander, Lieutenant prulli, their tanks and armored vehicles are still painted with the white cross of the German army. Don't regard the troops who stick to the 107.5 highland as the Germans. If the two sides miss each other, we will make a joke when we fight with each other."

At first I thought everything was in order, but after listening to what captain dubrovsky said, I felt that this possibility really existed, so I racked my brains to think about how to avoid this misunderstanding.

At this moment, the front of the team suddenly stopped. Before I could speak, dubrovsky had already asked the front, "Hey, what's the matter? Why did the army stop?"

Captain Rosenberg, who was walking in front of the team, ran up to us and reported: "Comrade division, the armored forces in front of us suddenly stopped, as if they were blocked by something. Because the line of armored forces is too long, we can't see what's going on in front of us. "

I know what captain Rosenberg said is true. When the tanks are marching, the queue of seven tanks and 15 armored vehicles with an interval of 50 meters can be as long as 1000 meters. If something really happens in front of them, we really don't know. I listened. There was no other sound except the roar of the armored car's motor. It should not have been a misunderstanding with the friendly troops who held high 107.5.

I was about to send someone to the front to find out what happened when I heard Mikhail lov beside me exclaim in surprise: "Sir, comrade, you see, it's the truck, it's our truck team back."

I quickly looked ahead, and sure enough, I saw seven or eight trucks with big lights, half of them on the road, half of them on the grass, next to the armored forces, staggering towards us. Seeing the arrival of the truck, I had a smile on my face, which made me feel relieved. As long as we have trucks, we can speed up our March. In a few minutes, we will be able to return to mamayev post smoothly, and the Germans will not be able to catch up.

After the truck passed us, it drove a little further and then turned around on the road. Standing on the road, the commanders and fighters quickly gave way to both sides of the road to make way for the trucks.

When a truck stopped in front of me, the door on the other side of the co pilot's bridge suddenly opened, and a commander jumped out of it. He ran quickly in front of me. After standing at attention, he respectfully reported to me, "Comrade division, I've come to meet you on the order of the deputy division and the political commissar. Please get on the bus?"

I raised my hand, patted the other person on the shoulder and said gratefully, "thank you, Captain busmanov." Then he waved his head and said, "what are you doing? Get on the bus."

There were only about 70 or 80 officers and soldiers walking in a company of dubrovsky battalion. There were about 10 people in a car, which was very loose. When the commanders and fighters finished waiting for the car, basmanov gave an order, and the team began to move forward.

As our truck passed by the armored troops parked on the road, I asked busmanov curiously: "Comrade captain, you just said that you came to meet us on the order of the deputy division commander and political commissar. Where are they now? "

"Report sir," basmanov replied respectfully when he heard my question, "they are all waiting for you under 107.5 at the moment."

When I heard that kirilov had come out to meet me, I was very moved. In order to prevent basmanov from noticing my excitement, I pretended to be angry and said, "I don't need them to meet me because I can't find my way. Just wait for me at division headquarters. Why wait for me at 107.5 highland? Besides, what should we do if our superiors give us orders when they are away? "

Basmanov was really deceived by me. He didn't notice my abnormality and seriously replied, "Comrade division, it's like this. The deputy division commander and I went to the 107.5 highland. After we talked with the political commissar on the phone there, the political commissar said that there was a chief of staff on duty in the division headquarters, and he could come out to meet you personally. As for why we have to wait for you in front of 107.5 highland, it is estimated that the political commissar heard that among the returned troops, there is an armored force composed of captured German tanks and armored vehicles. He is deeply afraid that the garrison on the highland will not know the situation and will have a misunderstanding with the returned friendly forces. "

After listening to basmanov's words, I couldn't help nodding. I secretly praised kirilov for his comprehensive consideration. If they hadn't met him in front of the highland, maybe the garrison on the highland would have found a huge German armored force and fired without saying a word. Once a fight starts, it is bound to cause unnecessary casualties.

While I was thinking, basmanov pointed forward and said excitedly to me, "Comrade division commander, look, the political commissar and deputy division commander are there."

I looked in the direction of his fingers, and on the right side of the road ahead, next to the remains of several blackened tanks, stood a group of people. Although we can't see their faces clearly, judging from their clothes, they are undoubtedly our own troops. I quickly told the driver: "Comrade driver, drive ten meters further and stop the car."

The driver nodded, and the truck came to a steady stop after driving a certain distance. This place is only four or five meters away from the waiting crowd. Busmanov opened the door first and jumped down. Then he stood beside the car and held out a hand to me. I grabbed basmanov's outstretched hand, jumped off the bridge and walked quickly towards the crowd. When I got out of the car, the crowd rushed to me. Before I could see the person opposite, I heard kirilov's familiar voice: "Comrade oshanina, welcome back!" Then a man left the whole team and came to me. He grabbed my hand and shook it hard“ Hello, comrade political commissar, "when I hold kirilov's hand, I feel my nose is sore, but I don't want to cry in front of so many subordinates, so I try my best to restrain myself and hold kirilov's hand warmly. After shaking hands with Bantai leiev and other officers and men waiting here one by one, kirilov told me to get on a jeep that had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time. Bantai leiev didn't return with us because he wanted to leave behind the armored troops for lieutenant pruli. On the jeep, I asked kirilov curiously, "Comrade commissar, this Jeep looks quite new. Where did you get it from?"“ It was sent to us by the headquarters of the front army, saying that it was to congratulate our division on winning the red flag medal. " After kirilov briefly introduced the origin of the jeep, he suddenly turned his face and said to me seriously, "Comrade division, I once again ask you not to take the troops to carry out such a dangerous task yourself in the future, OK?"“ Comrade political commissar, "I don't know why he said that, so he pretended to be relaxed and said," how can I call this adventure? You know, I have not only consulted the headquarters of the group army in advance, but also the deputy division commander with me. "“ If the headquarters of the group army agrees, it will not do. " Kirilov said reluctantly: "you know, after the headquarters of the front army learned that you personally led the troops to the north, the commander and the military commissar were furious. A few phone calls a day asked about your situation, and said that if you had any good or bad, we would not come to a good end." Kirilov's words stunned me. Although I met with yelolmenko and Khrushchev several times, my relationship was not very good. How could they be angry with kirilov for my little teacher? Before I could think of a reason, the jeep had reached the foot of the mountain where the division headquarters was. Along the trench, we quickly came outside the division headquarters. Looking at this familiar place, I can't help feeling that I can still come back here alive. It's really not easy（ It's a good activity to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phone waiting for you!
