Belkin, who was standing beside him, could hear clearly. As soon as Sokov put down the phone, he couldn't wait to ask: "Comrade Battalion Commander, the enemy is trying to detour from the west of the highlands. What should we do?"
"The purpose of the Germans doing this is to seize the highlands defended by the Third Company. While they send troops to detour, they will continue to attack the highlands." Sokov pointed to the map and said, "So, I plan to arrange Vanya's first company here to face the detoured enemies; and Andre's second company is ready to reinforce the highlands at any time..."
Belkin stared at the map for a while, thinking that Sokov's arrangement was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I agree with your opinion. I will give orders to each company."
After assigning the mission, Belkin asked Sokov about the situation of the female soldier company: "Comrade Battalion Commander, you just went to the air defense position. How is the situation there?"
Sokov shook his head and said bitterly: "Although the female anti-aircraft machine gun company successfully shot down an enemy plane and injured one during the battle, their own casualties were quite serious. 27 people were killed, including 12 soldiers, and the company commander and instructor were also injured."
"What, both Liuba and Sweta were injured?" Sokov's words surprised Belkin. He asked nervously: "Are their injuries serious? Can they still command the battle?"
Faced with a series of problems with Belkin, Sokov replied slowly: "Sweta was stunned by a bomb and was sent to the health team, without any danger of life; and company commander Liu Ba was also seriously injured in shock and had severe hearing damage. Since the two of them were unable to command the battle for the time being, I have appointed the acting company commander of the third platoon Lida."
"Lida?" After repeating the name, Belkin suddenly remembered who the other party was, "Is it the 'nightingale' who sang "The Road" and "Light" last night?" Seeing Sokov nodding in affirmation, he asked with some concern: "Can such a delicate young female soldier take such responsibility?"
"I think she is competent for this position," Sokov replied in a affirmative tone.
An hour later, the facts proved that Sokov's judgment was completely correct. The German troops detoured from the nameless highlands were stubbornly blocked by the third company. The soldiers used cluster grenades to blow up a German tank. The destroyed tanks burned on a narrow and simple road, blocking the way of the two tanks behind.
However, before the soldiers blew up the German tanks, two half-track armored transport vehicles and more than 30 German infantrymen who opened the road in front passed through the fire blockade of the third company and rushed towards the rear of the highland. Since the first company's troops had not yet been deployed, the small force successfully detoured to the north of the highland and rushed to the near air defense positions.
The sudden appearance of the German army caused the female soldiers who had never seen the Germans up close to the ground to chaos. They screamed loudly and ran back and forth on the positions full of bullet craters. They did not expect to hide or shoot, and watched two armored vehicles guide a group of German soldiers to rush towards their positions.
"Dadada", the 7.92mm machine guns on two armored vehicles began to shoot at the female soldiers running around, and several female soldiers with bad luck fell into a pool of blood. After a brief panic, Lida first recovered from calmness. She shouted at the top of her throat in the roar of the German machine gun: "Girls, don't panic, enter the combat position immediately and eliminate them."
Lida quickly sat in front of the scope, skillfully manipulated the machine gun, and after pointing the muzzle at the German armored vehicle, he suddenly stepped on the gun button. The 14.5mm armor-piercing projectile fired by the four-machine gun easily penetrated the German machine gun shield, tearing the thin armor of the armored vehicle, and hit the captain and the driver to bloody damage.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the four German soldiers who were on the bus wanted to jump off immediately, but it was too late. Without armor plates, they all became Lida's shooting targets. Under the attack of large-caliber bullets, they were lucky, but they were interrupted in half; when they were unlucky, they were beaten into a pile of minced meat, and red and white objects splashed on the body of the armored vehicle.
The panicked female soldiers gradually recovered from calm when they saw that the German armored vehicles were destroyed by anti-aircraft machine guns controlled by Lida. Some of them lay in the craters and used Mosinnagan in their hands to shoot at the enemies following the armored vehicles; some of them followed Lida's appearance and jumped onto the anti-aircraft machine guns, sat in front of the scope, and fired at the enemy's armored vehicles or infantry.
The bullets fired by three 14.5mm four-machine guns in the air defense position were like the Grim Reaper's sickle, crazily harvesting the lives of German officers and soldiers. When Vanya came with his first company of commanders and fighters, he only saw two burning armored vehicles and dozens of incomplete German bodies in front of the air defense position.
When he learned that the air defense position was attacked, Sokov was scared and sweated. He was worried that dozens of young girls could not stop the German soldiers armed to the teeth. In addition to ordering the companies to support immediately, he hurried over with the guard platoon.
When they arrived at the air defense position, the battle was over. The smell of blood on the battlefield, mixed with smoke from gunpowder, formed a disgusting mist near the air defense position, which made Sokov's eyes and throat hurt.
Lida came to Sokov, raised his hand to salute him, and reported: "Comrade Battalion Commander, Sergeant Lida, the acting company commander of the female anti-aircraft machine gun company, reported to you that our company has successfully eliminated the invading enemy. Please instruct!"
"Good, Lida, you and your soldiers are good!" Sokov held Lida's hand and said excitedly: "I will report the results you have achieved to my superiors and apply for rewards for all the commanders and soldiers of your company."
"Comrade Battalion Commander, let me take care of this matter." Belkin's voice suddenly remembered behind Sokov. He was worried that the female soldiers could not resist the German attack, so he came to take a look. Unexpectedly, the female soldiers had already wiped out the enemy cleanly.
Belkin walked to Sokov and said with a smile: "The female soldier company performed very bravely in today's battle and achieved great results. I will write a report to my superiors immediately and apply for rewards for them." He glanced at Lida, whose face was dark, and then said, "As for comrades who performed outstandingly like Sergeant Lida, I think they should be awarded a high-level medal."
"Did you hear it, girls?" Kaga, standing in the crowd, said excitedly to the soldiers around him after hearing what Belkin said: "The deputy battalion commander is going to apply for a reward for us, and there are even people who can get high-level medals. That's great, it's great."
