Chapter 547: hilltop position

Chapter 547 Mountain Top Position

Major Collein immediately organized troops to break through.

He did this without the slightest hesitation, because Major Klein understood that if the command and himself did not take this into account, that the frontal **** would suddenly be penetrated by the enemy's main force, it would mean that they had fallen into the enemy's Well-laid traps.

Therefore, Major Klein knew that Mamayev Post would definitely not be able to hold.

Major Colein also thought about another possibility, that is, he tried hard to hold his position and then, with the main force of the regiment, carried out two flanking attacks on the enemy on the front **** while clearing the siege for himself.

But this plan was quickly overturned by himself.

The trenches and fortifications on the positive **** are all facing the main force of the regiment, which means that it is almost impossible for the main force of the regiment to break through the Russian army quickly.

And the assault artillery battalion in his hand... the main force has been dragged down by the frontal enemy and cannot be separated, unable to flank the enemy while holding on to the position, especially at night, it is difficult for the German army to cooperate effectively and defeat the enemy in this situation.

Considering these, Major Klein did not hesitate, and he immediately ordered the reserve team to seize the position on the top of the hill.

The hilltop position at this time is undoubtedly a battleground between the enemy and us.

If the hilltop position falls into the hands of the Russian army, then Major Klein's troops will be flanked back and forth and lose their retreat.

On the contrary, if the German army controls the position on the top of the mountain, it can rely on its fire cover to open a way for the main force to break through.

Reserves are the 1st Infantry Company.

Being able to serve as the reserve team means that they are the troops with the strongest combat effectiveness, because on the battlefield the reserve team refers to the troops that will replenish where there is danger and are sure to repel the enemy, so they always execute the most dangerous and most dangerous troops. difficult task.

The company commander, Captain Fricks, is a young man who graduated from a military academy. He participated in the attack on France and went from a second lieutenant platoon leader to a captain and company commander step by step.

Upon receiving the order, Captain Fricks immediately ordered the 1st Infantry Platoon to reinforce the hilltop position.

This is a common tactic used by Captain Fricks.

He believes that such battles to reinforce critical areas of the front line are usually divided into two levels:

One is the fighter plane.

The second is the preparation of the troops.

Both are important, but at the same time they are in conflict with each other.

If you want to seize the opportunity, you must put the entire company into the relevant area at the first time, so the preparation time of the troops may be insufficient, and sometimes the subordinates do not even know the combat missions and what they may face.

And if you want to make full preparations, you will be powerless to recover even if you arrive after the company has missed the opportunity to fight.

Therefore, Captain Fricks is accustomed to be prepared with both hands.

Let the first infantry platoon be fully prepared at all times, and reinforce as soon as it receives an order. At the same time, Captain Fricks informed the rest of the troops about the mission, the situation, and even the information provided after a platoon of reinforcements, and then reinforcements.

This tactic is very effective, because he can be targeted and mentally prepared for the battle he will face, so that he won't be stunned when he makes a misjudgment and then has no power to fight back.

Like this time...

"This is perhaps the most difficult battle we have ever faced!" Captain Fricks said to his men: "The enemy's attack is very fierce, and we must hold the position on the top of the hill until the main force temporarily repulses the enemy and can withdraw. Otherwise we'll all die here, understand?"

"Understood, sir!" The subordinates responded one after another.

"Set off!"

With an order, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Company stooped along the traffic trench to reinforce the hilltop position.

Before reaching the top position, they discovered that the battle at the top position was much more tragic than they had imagined.

There are already bursts of explosions and smoke.

Explosions and smoke are not terrible, but experienced people can easily see that it is the flare of a grenade explosion... It will be much smaller than the sound and flames of shells, but there is no less smoke.

This shows that the enemy has rushed to a very close position and reached the stage of throwing grenades.

"Defend in place!" Captain Felix ordered.

Because he knew that if he still went up hard at this time, he would be more likely to be bombed by the enemy with a grenade and suffer heavy casualties.

They lay in ambush only 30 meters away from the position on the top of the mountain. They didn't shoot or fire, and they didn't even fight back when the enemy's shells and grenades exploded around them.

So, the Russian army had no idea that there was such a force lurking in the dark

Then, after another grenade, the Russian army shouted and charged towards the top of the mountain with bayonets.

At this moment, Captain Fricks gave a loud order: "Attach the bayonet and move forward, soldier!"

The two troops of the enemy and ours collided fiercely like two tides rushing towards each other, and a burst of swords, lights and swords strangled each other.

At this time, Shulka was lying on his stomach only a hundred meters away from the position on the top of the mountain, holding a telescope to observe the battlefield.

He secretly praised in his heart, this German commander is quite intelligent, when the reinforcements from the rear suddenly came up during hand-to-hand combat, the Soviet army was caught off guard, so he easily gained the upper hand.

"We should add another troop!" said Akimovich, who was lying beside him.

"No!" Shulka shook his head: "We can no longer tell the difference between the enemy and ourselves, and it is not good for us to continue to reinforce!"

Akimovich was silent for a while, and then asked: "Is this the tenth lesson?"

"It counts!" Shulka replied: "If our side has the advantage, don't easily join the army when there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, because it will not benefit the side with more people!"

Akimovich nodded in agreement.

This is easy to understand. In a chaotic battle, the side with more troops has a greater chance of accidental injury.

After being silent for a while, Akimovich asked again: "Then what should we do? I mean, we can't reinforce in this situation!"

"Wait!" Shulka replied: "Use this time to prepare for battle, and then wait for them to decide the winner and launch another wave of attack!"

Akimovich cast a shocked look at Shulka.

He could understand the meaning of Shulka's words. In fact, these words were not difficult to understand.

The problem is that doing so also means watching this wave of charging soldiers exhausted with the enemy at the top of the hill.

"Are there any questions?" Shulka asked.

"No, no problem!" Akimovich replied: "You are right. Because at that time, even if the enemy wins, they are already exhausted!"

"Yes!" Shulka replied coldly: "You learn quickly!"

The "learning" here means that as a commander, you must not be emotional.
