Chapter 866

After confirming the news that Vasiliev had been killed by German snipers, I leaned powerlessly against the wall of the traffic trench as if I had been drained. If it wasn't for trikov to inform me to come to the group army headquarters for a meeting, I would go to the 171 division to inspect with Vasiliev. When we were attacked by the German army equipped with tanks and armored vehicles, we did not have accompanying armored forces and necessary anti tank weapons. We only relied on infantry carrying light weapons to deal with the enemy's tanks. No matter how many people there were, we still could not escape the fate of being slaughtered by the German army.

At this time, they also got the news of Vasiliev's sacrifice. They came out of the headquarters one after another and came to us along the traffic ditch. Still far away, trikov yelled at me, "Hey, o'shanina, you know what? Your political commissar, comrade Vasiliev, was killed by the enemy's snipers and died bravely. "

I nodded at him and replied feebly, "yes, comrade commander, my subordinates have just reported this to me. I'm going to report it to you."

"Comrade Vasiliev can't die in vain," gulov, who walked up to him, said angrily, "we need to fight back immediately to let the Germans know that we are not easy to bully."

After listening to what gurov said, I reluctantly smile. Vasiliev's sacrifice makes my heart very sad. I also want to avenge him, but how can I avenge him? Can't I order all the officers and men of the army to attack the German defense area regardless of their priorities?

I leaned against the moat wall in a daze, listening to the conversation between rokosovsky and trakov.

"General rokosovsky, comrade Vasiliev can't sacrifice so freely. I think we should retaliate against the German army with a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye," trakov said

After listening to trakov, rokosovsky did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at sergeant songjik standing next to him, and then solemnly asked me, "Rita, if I'm not mistaken, did you send a squad of special guard company to go with political commissar Vasiliev?"

I nodded, then turned my eyes to songjik. After the sergeant's eyes met me, he immediately understood that I wanted him to answer this question. He quickly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "report to Comrade commander of the front army, there are 12 of us, 10 of us died in the battle."

"Your weapons, comrade sergeant." After listening to song Jike's words, rokosovsky suddenly turned his face and asked the sergeant in one shoulder bullet proof suit sternly, "did you leave all the weapons carried by the sacrificial soldiers to the Germans when you retreated?"

"Comrade General, please forgive me!" Song Jike was a little flustered when he heard rokosovsky's question. He nervously defended himself: "at that time, the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and I had to cover the commissar to break through, so I didn't collect the weapons lost by the soldiers who died in the class on the battlefield."

The conversation between rokosovsky and songjik surprised me in a cold sweat. You know, even the soldiers of the special guard are equipped with AK47 which does not belong to this era. Once the German army gets this weapon and returns it to the country. With their super industrial ability and all the military factories in Europe under their control, they can carry out large-scale imitation. In less than two months, this kind of weapon will be loaded into the German army, and it will be a disaster for the Soviet army, which is backward in light weapons.

I knew in my heart that the AK47 would never fall into the hands of the German army, or the Kalashnikov rifle would help them change everything. Thinking of this, my fear immediately disappeared. Before rokosovsky spoke again, I said, "Comrade commander of the front army, please allow me to rush to the place where political commissar Vasiliev died immediately to deal with the aftermath."

Instead of immediately agreeing to my request, rokosovsky asked with concern, "do you need my air force to cooperate?" At this point, his eyes glanced at trekov, who was standing opposite him. "Or let the group fire cover the German positions in that area?"

Air force support and artillery coverage sound very attractive, but after thinking for a moment, I still shook my head and resolutely refused: "Comrade commander of the front army, thank you for your kindness. Just with the German tanks, we can't use the air force. Just with our tank brigade and artillery regiment, we can get rid of them all."

"Well, since you are so confident, you can go." After listening to my statement, rokosovsky first nodded, and then specially told me: "you must pay attention to your own safety."

"Yes After I raised my hand to salute him, I quickly walked up to trekov and asked respectfully, "Comrade commander, can you allow me to use the communication room?"

"Absolutely." Trikov understood that I was going to use the communication room. He quickly turned to the communication director in the back, Colonel Yulin, and said, "Captain, you take oshanina to the communication room."

I followed Yulin to the communication room and immediately dialed my army headquarters. When I heard the voice of chief of staff Vitkov coming from the opposite side, I immediately said, "Hello, chief of staff, this is oshanina. I order you to immediately dispatch the sniper unit of lieutenant Vassily of the 150th division to the place where the political commissar died. In addition, we will dispatch a battalion from the 266th artillery regiment newly assigned to our army. "

"I see. I'll pass on your order right away." After witkov said these words, he asked me carefully: "Comrade commander, I don't know when you will return to the army headquarters."

"I'll rush to the place where the political commissar died immediately to deal with the aftermath. I can't go back to the military headquarters for the time being." For his concern, I said apologetically, "so please stay in the headquarters."

"Comrade commander, the political commissar has died. Can't you have another accident?"

"Don't worry, chief of staff," I said in disapproval of the microphone, "I will pay attention to safety. The bullets that the enemy can kill me haven't been made yet."

Ten minutes later, I took Yushchenko and his guard platoon to the spot where Vasiliev was attacked. Many of my commanders have gathered here. In addition to bere of the tank brigade, there is colonel gorohov, the deputy division commander of the 171st division, who came to reinforce after hearing the news. He also brought more than 200 infantry.

When they saw me, berey and gorohov came up. They didn't salute me because they were worried about German snipers nearby. They just stood straight in front of me.

I remember sergeant sonjik once told me that after they got out of danger, they were the first to go to the tank brigade for help, so the first to arrive at the scene should be colonel berey and his tank unit. I looked at BIE Lei and asked in a low voice, "Comrade Colonel, what's the situation?"

When Colonel berey heard my question, he shook his head and replied bitterly: "when our tank unit arrived, the German army had retreated. After our inspection, the political commissar was killed because he was hit in the head by the enemy's sniper. And the accompanying Guard soldiers, 29 people were killed, 11 people were injured, and another 2 people were successfully out of danger. "

"Captain Yushchenko," after listening to berey's report, I turned and told Yushchenko behind me, "take someone to check the weapons of the soldiers, and see if they are all there?"

"Yes Yushchenko agreed and took songjik and a dozen soldiers to the open field full of corpses.

When Yushchenko and I left, I asked berey, "Colonel, where is the commissar's body?"

"There it is!" said berey, turning his mouth toward a pile of rubble in the distance Seeing that I was about to walk there, he quickly called me, "Comrade commander, I advise you not to go."

I was surprised at my dissuasion, so I stopped and asked, "why, comrade Colonel?"

When I asked, Colonel berey began to falter, not saying why for a long time. After looking at him, gorohov stepped forward and said to me, "Comrade commander, please allow me to report to you."

"Go ahead, comrade colonel." Although gorohov is my subordinate, he has hardly dealt with him before, so I am very polite to him.

"Comrade commander, Colonel berey is also very kind." When gorohov spoke, he took another look at bere beside him, and then explained to me, "because the political commissar was hit in the head by a German sniper, the bullet went from the back of the head to the front of the head, and the whole face was broken by the bullet. The brain and blood were all over the ground. In the split head, you can see the white skull. Two of the soldiers I've just sent to collect their bodies can't help vomiting. "

"I see." although I've been used to life and death for a long time, when I heard about Vasiliev's tragedy, my heart still bristled, so I quickly went down the slope and said, "in this case, I'll leave it to you to bury the remains of the political commissar. "Colonel berey," I said, turning my attention to berey, "is there any place nearby where I can see the enemy's position?"

Bielei nodded quickly, pointed to the building where two of our tanks were parked in the distance, and said, "Comrade commander, you can clearly see the enemy's position in that building."

"Come on, show me." After that, I said to gorohov with a smile, "Colonel gorohov, come along, too."

Due to the bombing and shelling some time ago, almost all the walls of the six story house collapsed, leaving only a large frame. Several of us walked up the broken stairs, because the handrail had already been broken. With the height rising, my heart instinctively tightened.

Starting from the first layer, each layer is filled with bricks and stones that have been blown down. According to the introduction of Colonel berey, the German infantry just hid here and surprised us, while the sniper hid in this building and successfully killed political commissar Vasiliev.

When I came to a wall on the ground floor that didn't completely collapse, I could see the dilapidated buildings and the German trenches in front of the building at a glance. Even without a telescope, I could clearly see the German soldiers walking back and forth in the trenches.

Just then, a propeller reconnaissance plane of our army appeared in the air. It flew very low, only about 100 meters high. The loudspeaker on the plane called out: "please pay attention, the besieged German soldiers and officers in Stalingrad, please pay attention to..."

Unexpectedly, the low flying plane was strafed by the German machine gun. The pilot pulled the plane up in a hurry to avoid the bullets coming from the ground. But it seemed to be a slow step. I saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the back half of the fuselage, and then the whole plane staggered away.

"Damn it, damn it!" When we saw that our plane was hit by the German army, gorohov next to us was so angry that he yelled: "damn the Germans, they even beat the plane to persuade them to surrender. It seems that they don't want to live." Seeing the furious Colonel gorohov, I still kept calm enough. When he stopped talking, I said lightly, "Comrade Colonel, since you also think the German should die, you can send them to hell yourself!"“ Send them to hell? " Gorohov was confused by what I said. He looked at me and at bere, and asked blankly, "Comrade commander, I don't understand you. You have confused me?" Colonel bere, who had dealt with me many times, understood my voice out of the picture and said to gorohov with a smile, "don't you understand, Colonel gorohov? Comrade commander is going to destroy the German position in front of you and let your troops take up the main task of attack. "“ Is that so, comrade commander? " Gorohov saw that I nodded to agree with bere's statement, and immediately said excitedly, "well, I'll lead the troops to take back the enemy's position." After that, he turned around and was about to leave. I quickly stopped him: "don't worry, Colonel. When our artillery regiment comes, first cover the enemy's position with artillery fire, and then have Colonel berey's tank unit to cover your infantry charge, so as to seize the front position for me in the shortest time." Gorohov looked at the area occupied by the German army in front of him, shrunk his mouth, and said with disapproval: "Comrade division, there are only four or five houses and a few trenches in the front position, and the enemy holding there is no more than 100 people. I have brought enough troops of a battalion. As long as I charge, I may be able to take down the position."“ Comrade Colonel, "I felt a little dissatisfied when I heard that he despised the enemy so much. I reminded him with a straight face and said," please note that every soldier's life is precious. As commanders, we have no right to risk their lives. Therefore, before the attack, we should saturate the enemy's positions and attack them so that they have no strength to fight back, and then launch the final charge. Only in this way can we achieve the maximum results at the minimum cost. Do you understand? "“ I understand Gorohov, who had been reprimanded by me, replied, blushing“ Let's go. I'll go downstairs. " Downstairs, the 266th artillery regiment and Vasili's sniper unit have arrived. When they saw me coming out of the building, they immediately reported to me, "Comrade commander, second lieutenant Vassily and the sniper team are ordered to come and wait for your order!"“ Major kloming, artillery battalion commander of 266th artillery regiment, has been ordered to come and wait for your order I nodded to them, and first said to major kloming, "major, expand your artillery battalion on the spot and bombard the German position in front of you for no less than ten minutes. Do you understand?"“ Understand Major kloming replied loudly. Then I patted Vassily on the shoulder, pointed to the building where I had just come out, and said to him, "Lieutenant, you take your sniper team to the building. When our infantry attack, your task is to kill the German commander, machine gun shooters, mortars and other important targets. Is the task clear? "“ It's clear! " After answering, Vasili turned and waved to a dozen snipers waiting nearby, shouting, "follow me!" Then he took the lead to rush into the building. Seeing Yushchenko coming to me, I asked in a low voice, "Captain, what's the situation? Are the weapons here?" Yushchenko nodded and said to me in a low voice, "a total of 12 assault rifles. Two of them were on the two surviving soldiers. One of them was damaged by German shells in the battle. We have recovered all the remaining 9 rifles." Hearing that the AK47 lost on the battlefield did not fall into the hands of the Germans, I could not help but sigh a sigh of relief, and then said to Yushchenko in a tone of approval: "Captain, well done. After this battle, I will personally ask for credit for you."
