Chapter 847

When I heard what Elia said so naturally and reasonably, I was not famous at once, so I put my face on him and said to him seriously: "Comrade commander, I remind you that the street in front of the Germans is not the street of Paris. Why should we let them swagger in front of us? We should teach them a lesson so hard that they can't even show their heads. "

Seeing that I started the fire without warning, Elia's face turned red. After I finished, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and carefully explained: "Comrade division, the military gap between us and the enemy is too big. If we attack the enemy rashly, it is likely to attract their revenge, and then it will cause unnecessary losses."

I snorted and said discontentedly: "muddle headed, it's muddle headed! If we don't fight the enemy, won't they attack us? " I looked at the building with my hand in the distance where our army commanders and fighters were stationed. I could not help but command him: "immediately transfer some snipers to the building and kill all the exposed Germans."

"How many enemies can a sniper kill?" Elia said reluctantly: "if you can supplement the reserve team, you can deploy at least one platoon in the building. In this way, you can not be afraid of the enemy's attack, and even implement counter charge to pick up the opposite building."

I couldn't laugh or cry at his words. Just now I thought that he was deliberately avoiding the battle for fear of the enemy's power. Now I know that he was disgusted with the small scale of the battle. I pointed to him and said, "Lieutenant Elia, you have a very bad idea. If you look carefully at the results of lieutenant Vassily's sniper team, you won't say that. In more than a month, they killed more than 400 enemies, which is equivalent to killing two full-length German company officers and soldiers. "

I saw that after listening to my words, he began to bow his head and think about it. Instead of interrupting him, he deliberately left him a little time to think. When he looked up again, I went on to say: "the next task of the regiment is to stick to the existing area and confront the opposite German army. There may not be any chance to attack again in a short time. Therefore, if we want to achieve great results, we can't only think about fighting big battles, but despise the small fights of using snipers. Do you understand? "

"I understand, sir." Elijah readily agreed.

While we were talking, Yushchenko next to us suddenly called out, "the enemy is coming up!"

I quickly stopped talking with Elijah, turned to look downstairs, and saw a dozen enemies emerge from the ruins, bent over with weapons, and cautiously approached the building defended by our army. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the building, and there was no movement in the building, my heart could not help but raise my voice. My heart said that the soldiers in the building would not be sleeping, otherwise the enemy would be so close to the building, how could they not open fire?

I turned to look at Elijah and saw that he looked downstairs as usual, as if the German attack was just an ordinary exercise. I lowered my voice and asked discontentedly, "Comrade commander, the enemy is about to rush into the building. Why don't our soldiers open fire?"

Elijah grinned when she heard my question, and then said easily, "don't worry, sir. The doors and windows on this side of the street are blocked by bricks and stones. The enemy can't get in at all."

Speaking of this Kung Fu, the enemy has rushed downstairs, they obviously also found that the doors and windows are blocked. The soldiers, who had been huddled together, immediately dispersed and looked around for access. As soon as their troops dispersed, there was a loud bang. Several soldiers were lifted up by the blast, and then fell down heavily.

When I saw the soldiers struggling on the ground, my first reaction was who fired the gun. It was so accurate that nearly half of the Germans were reimbursed. When I just thought about it, Elia cheered beside me. He told me excitedly: "Sir, the Germans are stepping on our mine."

With the explosion of the mine, the building that had been silent opened fire. The German soldiers standing downstairs immediately became targets, and all of them fell under the fire of our army in an instant. On the other hand, the German soldiers in the building opposite the road, seeing that their companions were killed by our army's firepower, quickly concealed themselves and poured their anger into the building defended by our army with various weapons.

Seeing that the two buildings were shooting at each other, Elia quickly pulled my sleeve and said to me in a pleading tone, "Comrade division, it's too dangerous here. You'd better go back to the regiment headquarters with me."

I looked at the building in the distance where there was an exchange of fire. I felt that our army would not suffer any loss, so I nodded and followed Elia to leave the attic and go back to the command post of the first regiment.

Back to the command post, I found that shejerikov had returned to the command post. He was very happy to see me coming. He welcomed me with political commissar oberstein, stopped in front of me and raised his hand to salute me.

After I returned the salute, I first shook hands with shijerikov, and then with oberstein, whom I had not seen for a long time. Thinking that he was recruiting troops for a regiment during this period, I asked in a friendly way, "Comrade political commissar, what's the situation with the supplement of soldiers in the regiment recently?"

Oberstein quickly reported to me: "after a week's recruitment, Mr. reporting Division has taken in 79 scattered soldiers who have lost contact with the army, 45 wounded soldiers who have recovered, and 277 recruits from the residents. Both the scattered and wounded soldiers have rich combat experience, and I have incorporated them into the combat forces. And recruits may have to go through a period of training before they can enter the battlefield. "

"Well done," I nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Comrade oberstein, the training of new recruits is going to be hard. Because we can't get the soldiers supplied by our superiors in the near future, these recruits will play a vital role in the next battle. "

"Please rest assured, sir." After I finished, oberstein immediately said, "I will live up to your expectations and train these recruits into qualified soldiers in the shortest time."

Standing beside him, Sergeant shijerikov broke in and said, "according to the report from the front, the enemy troops are moving towards our regiment's defense area. I think they will attack next. So I arranged two classes of the division's artillery battalion behind the first line of defense. Prepare to give the enemy a head-on blow when they attack. "

When I heard that the enemy was about to launch an attack, I guess I just saw that the German soldiers might be the enemy's leading forces, and the large forces were still behind. Thinking of this, I couldn't stay for a long time. I urged Xie jerikov: "Comrade commander, take me to your observation post to have a look."

Shejerikov did not immediately agree with me. Instead, he turned to look at Elia behind me. The commander immediately replied, "I just went to observation post No.1 with my division commander, where I can see the area where the fierce fighting is going."

After hearing this, Xie jerikov said to me, "Sir, I'll take you to our observation post No.2, where the vision is broader."

As a result, I, who had just returned to the regiment command post, followed behind shijerikov and hurried to observation post No. 2 of the first regiment. Not long after we left the headquarters, sjerikov took us into a traffic ditch by the side of the road. After five or six minutes' walk along this traffic ditch without a top cover, we arrived at observation post 2.

The observation post was located in a concrete bunker next to a completely collapsed building. There were four or five soldiers in it. When they saw us coming in, they immediately stood upright and saluted us. Shejerikov asked one of the soldiers, "what's going on?"

The soldier quickly replied, "report to commander, under the cover of artillery, the enemy infantry launched an attack on the No. 7 Building of the first battalion, but they were all defeated by our army. Two squads of the second artillery battalion, carrying two guns, have entered the left firing position and are ready to fight at any time. "

When the soldiers reported, shijerikov waved to them, indicating that they could leave. The soldiers raised their hands to salute us again and turned away. I went to the left shot hole, raised my telescope and looked out to see where Captain kurishenko's artillery was.

About three or four hundred meters away from us, there is a group of buildings that have already been razed to the ground, and the artillery class that the soldiers said is arranged there. After all the soldiers left, he came to me and said with great interest, "Comrade division commander, the artillery of the second artillery battalion are all good. They are equipped with 57mm artillery, which can not only attack the enemy's tanks but also infantry. They have achieved great results."

"Comrade division commander, the enemy has begun to attack." Before I could speak, Yushchenko's voice rang out in the observation center. I quickly turned around and walked to the shooting hole where he was. I raised my telescope again and looked out.

The building I saw in observation No. 1 just now is now under sporadic German artillery bombardment, with fragments of bricks and stones flying around in the smoke of explosion. At the back of the German building, more than ten tanks, armored vehicles and infantry were rushing through the ruins towards the building our army was guarding.

Just now, I heard from lieutenant commander Elia that there was only a combat team of about ten people in the building. I was afraid that they would not be able to hold their position in the face of the enemy's attack. I was going to ask sjerykov to send reinforcements. But I saw that many soldiers from all directions, carrying weapons, bent down and quickly ran to the building. It should be the troops from other areas who took the initiative to reinforce.

When our two guns on the left side saw the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles covering the infantry getting closer and closer to our fortifications, we couldn't help but fire first. Because the shooting was too hasty, it failed to hit the target in two rounds of shooting. The shells all landed on the left and right of an armored car rushing in front of it, and exploded, setting off groups of scorched earth with snow powder.

However, the armored car in the front, after two rounds of shooting, was finally hit by our artillery. The smoky armored car immediately collapsed and could not move. When our artillery saw that the enemy's armored vehicles had been hit, their morale was greatly boosted. They turned their muzzle and aimed at the other two armored vehicles following them, and began to shoot them fiercely. The two armored vehicles were unlucky. They were shot and caught fire before they drove far away. The ammunition killed in the car also knocked down a lot of German soldiers who followed around the armored car.

Three armored vehicles were destroyed in succession, and the German tanks and armored vehicles were disorganized. Our artillery seized the opportunity of the enemy's chaos and fired decisively again, destroying an armored vehicle that ran like a headless fly. Because the smoke of the German armored vehicles was full of smoke, which blocked the artillery observer's vision, the next few rounds of artillery bombardment, shells all hit the ground without exception, the flying shrapnel only cut down a few unfortunate German soldiers, but the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles were not damaged.

Because of the continuous firing of our artillery, their positions were exposed. German tanks, which had been running around all the time, drove to the back of the rubble pile one after another and concentrated their fire on our artillery positions. Dozens of artillery shells fell nearby and exploded. Some of them hit the artillery shield, and some of them cut our Gunners down, but it didn't affect our artillery to continue to shoot tenaciously. A gunner standing behind the shield, his helmet shrapnel flying, he did not care to pick it up, but continued to stick to his post. After several rounds, a German tank rushed out from behind the rubble and rushed to our artillery. However, it didn't rush far away. Our two guns concentrated fire on it. Soon, two shells were fired on the body of the tank, and it stopped in the middle of the road, emitting black smoke. As soon as a tank was solved, two armored vehicles drove out from behind the rubble pile. Learning the appearance of that tank, they quickly rushed to our artillery position. But they didn't get far, so they were shot and caught fire one after another. The German driver didn't take advantage of the situation, so they turned around and ran away without driving a smoky armored car. The German infantry, who were charging towards our army, were so flustered that their tanks and armored vehicles were shot one after another and caught fire that they turned around and ran behind them. Seeing that the enemy was about to run, our artillery quickened their firing speed. Before the shelling stopped, at least two more armored vehicles were destroyed, one tank was injured, and more than 30 infantry troops were destroyed. When the battle was over and I went to pay homage to the artillery, I learned that in order not to lose the fighter plane and wipe out the enemy, the artillery ignored the technical requirements of the maximum firing rate of six rounds per minute and used the maximum physical strength to maximize their firepower. The loader was too tired to stand because he was loading dozens of shells continuously, so he knelt on the ground to continue loading. Because of the long firing time and the fast firing speed of the gun, the gun barrel was red. After listening to the introduction of the artillery, I specially went to check the artillery with shijerikov, and found that the military green protective paint on the barrel of the two artillery had turned to Copper Brown. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it was true.
