Major Briski, commander of the first battalion, personally took action and led the soldiers to a place fifty or sixty meters away from the enemy's position.
He looked forward with his binoculars and found that there were only three Romanian soldiers in the trench more than 200 meters long. These soldiers did not faithfully perform their duties as sentries, but gathered together to chat, and made a fuss.
Low laughter.
Major Briskey called a sergeant next to him and said to him: "Sergeant, take a few people and quietly go over and kill these sentries. Remember, never shoot unless you have to."
The sergeant nodded, led the three soldiers out of the hiding place, and crawled towards the enemy's position.
As a commander with rich command experience, Major Briskey naturally understands that using sneak attacks can minimize the casualties of the troops. Therefore, through the telescope, he looks at the enemy sentries for a while, and then looks at the sergeant and the others.
They were afraid that they would be noticed by the enemy during their movement. Once the premature firing of gunshots alerted the enemies on the position, the sneak attack would turn into a forced attack.
Fortunately, what the major was worried about did not happen. The four soldiers successfully approached the trench. Then they pounced on the sentry with lightning speed and killed the sentry with a dagger. After killing the sentry, the sergeant was still patrolling the trench.
After checking for a while, no enemy was found, and then a safe signal was sent to Major Briskey.
"Brothers, listen to my order." Major Briskey lowered his voice and shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Forward!" Then he got up from the ground first, holding a rifle with a bayonet, bending over and striding forward.
walked forward.
The soldiers rushed into the trenches to find the hidden areas where the enemies were hiding. After finding them, they rushed in and stabbed all the enemies inside with bayonets.
It went relatively smoothly at first, but when the enemies in the fifth shelter were eliminated, a seriously injured soldier fired the grenade without hesitation. After a loud "boom", everyone in the shelter
Everyone fell to the ground regardless of enemy or friend.
The explosion in the shelter woke up the enemies in the nearby shelter. They didn't even bother to put on their clothes and rushed out with weapons in hand. Some people just rushed out and fell to the ground before they could see clearly where the enemy was.
They were under the gunpoint of the army. The remaining people quickly retreated, hiding inside and shooting.
As long as the shelter is exposed, no matter how fierce the firepower inside is, it will not be a problem for the attacking Soviet soldiers. They only need to approach the shelter from the side, throw the white-smoking grenade into it, and then charge after it explodes.
If you go in and shoot with a submachine gun, you can completely eliminate the enemies inside, and you can also minimize the casualties of the soldiers.
According to Major Briski's idea, even if it were to carry out a sneak attack, to eliminate hundreds of Romanian officers and soldiers on the position, at least one or two hundred people would be killed or injured. But within twenty minutes, the gunfire in the trenches gradually subsided. Let the company commanders of each company
Counting the casualties, less than thirty people were killed.
The sneak attack battle was won with such a small number of casualties, which greatly increased the confidence of several company commanders. They all asked Briskey to fight, hoping that their companies could be the first to rush to the second-line positions defended by the Germans.
The sound of gunshots and grenade explosions on the position just now rang out. It is obviously unrealistic not to alert the Germans. Briskey reminded his company commanders: "The battle we just fought has already alerted the Germans. I think it is unrealistic."
They are already prepared. Whichever company takes the lead in attacking will definitely suffer huge casualties."
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, several company commanders were still competing for the task: "Comrade Battalion Commander, please give the task to our first company. Since we are the first company, we should take the lead. Such dangerous tasks should be left to us."
"
"Who said your first company should take the lead? Our second company can do the same. Comrade Battalion Commander, let's leave the task to our second company."
"Our third company..."
Seeing several company commanders arguing with each other, Major Briski waved his hand and said: "Okay, stop fighting." The first company immediately gathered its troops and launched an attack on the enemy's position. According to the intelligence we have, the second line
There is only an incomplete German company on the position, and I hope that with your strength, we can destroy them."
"Don't worry, comrade battalion commander." The first company commander who had just accepted the mission said with confidence: "We will not let you down."
More than two hundred soldiers from a company were blocked by German fire when they were a hundred meters away from the second line of defense. In addition to machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles shooting at the position, there was also a tank half-buried underground, heading towards
The soldiers fired artillery at a distance. From time to time, soldiers were blown away by artillery shells or cut down by flying shrapnel, but they did not stop. Instead, they used craters or obstacles as cover to quickly approach the enemy's position.
Under the cover of darkness, a soldier approached the tank that was firing cannons and machine guns, and threw two anti-tank grenades at it, blowing it up into a ball of fire.
The tank was blown up, and the firepower of the position was suppressed by the Soviet army. The situation of the German troops on the position became more and more unfavorable. Seeing this, the company commander jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Comrades, charge with me!"
"
Just when they rushed to a place about ten meters away from the trench, a dazzling fire suddenly appeared in front of them. What looked like a mound from a distance suddenly spurted out flames that were twenty or thirty meters long, and suddenly it was like a fire.
It wrapped dozens of charging commanders and fighters inside.
After Major Briskey saw a huge flame flash through, dozens of moving firemen appeared in his field of vision. They made horrifying screams in the firelight, and some fell directly to the ground.
Rolling, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies; some were running around, falling down, crawling up again, until they finally fell to the ground and burned motionless...
Damn it, this is the German fire-breathing tank! Seeing his men struggling and screaming to death in the fire, Major Briskey couldn't help but feel like a knife. He quickly shouted to the side: "Bazooka, where is the rocket launcher?"
place?"
Following the shout, a soldier carrying a rocket launcher ran over, waiting for Briskey to give the order. The major pointed at the tank that was still spitting fire in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: "Go and kill that fire-breathing tank immediately."
Kill the tanks and avenge our fallen soldiers."
"Yes!" The soldier carrying the rocket launcher agreed, and then he and his ammunition hand climbed out of the trench, bent over and ran towards the fire-breathing tank in the distance.
Although the rocket launcher shot by Sokov has a range of 120 meters, in order to ensure that it can destroy the German Spitfire tank, the soldier still arrived at a distance of 60 meters, chose a suitable launch position, aimed at the Spitfire tank and pulled the trigger
He pulled the trigger. The rocket trailed white smoke and flew towards the enemy tank.
With a "boom" sound, a thick pillar of fire soared into the air from the uncovered hatch of the fire-breathing tank and shot straight into the sky. A moment later, the pillar of fire retracted from the air and spread to the entire tank body.
The tank that was still raging just now began to burn blazingly.
