Leading the way through the town was a battalion and a company. The company commander led a platoon of more than thirty soldiers and walked at the forefront on the opposite side.
In order to prevent their target from being exposed, after they entered the town, they did not walk struttingly in the middle of the road. Instead, they spread out and walked in groups on both sides of the street. They used the cover of the buildings to silently move towards
Push forward.
A recruit followed behind the first company commander. He asked nervously: "Comrade company commander, what should we do if we encounter the Germans?"
The company commander turned back and glared at him, then lowered his voice and said, "What else can I do? Naturally use the bayonet and bullets in your hand to greet them. Do you understand?"
"Ming...understood!" the recruit replied in a panic.
At the same time, a German second lieutenant led a patrol of eight people and was walking along the street towards this side.
At this moment, the German second lieutenant was in a particularly depressed mood. The troops stationed in the south of the town successfully used the fortifications and obstacles outside the town to smash the Russian night attack. In the end, the Russians threw away hundreds of corpses and fled in a hurry.
The battle ended almost an hour ago. Because the light was too dark, the German troops in the position could not accurately count the results, so they could only estimate a rough number. If they had known that in a very short period of time, they would have killed all the soldiers.
Thousands of Soviet troops, I'm afraid they have already reported their victory to their superiors.
As he was walking forward, the German second lieutenant suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from the front. He couldn't help but be startled. Didn't he patrol this street with his own people? When did there be another patrol team?
He pulled out his pistol, but hesitated to issue an alert order. However, the soldiers on the patrol couldn't help but become nervous when they saw the second lieutenant with the gun in his hand. After all, there was a large Russian army outside the town. What if it was them?
Did they sneak in under the cover of night? Without waiting for the second lieutenant's instructions, the soldiers quietly formed their formation and tightened their weapons.
Although the footsteps on the other side were messy, the second lieutenant could tell that there were at least thirty or forty people on the other side. When he was about to ask the other side for the password, the moon, which was originally covered by dark clouds, moved out from behind the dark clouds, and the bright moonlight illuminated it.
The whole street.
Seeing clearly that there were many Soviet commanders approaching on both sides of the street ahead, the German second lieutenant's face instantly distorted. He raised his hand and fired a shot forward, while shouting at the top of his lungs: "Shoot, shoot quickly!"
At the same time, the first company commander opposite him also widened his eyes. He did not expect to encounter the Germans so quickly. He quickly raised his gun and shot forward, shouting: "It's a German, hurry up and shoot."
!”
It has to be said that the well-trained Germans reacted a little faster. Almost at the same time as the second lieutenant gave the order, the eight soldiers subconsciously fired a volley. The Soviet commanders and fighters on both sides of the street seemed to have slammed into a transparent wall.
The wall crashed, and four or five people fell down. Even the company commander was hit in the shoulder by himself.
Just when the company commander was shot and fell to the ground, the commanders and soldiers behind him finally came to their senses, raised their weapons, and began to shoot at the Germans on the street.
Although the Soviet army had a large number of new recruits and lacked combat experience, their number was several times greater than that of the German patrol. During the exchange of fire, in less than a minute, only the German second lieutenant remained in the nine-man patrol.
and a soldier who was shot in the abdomen.
The second lieutenant grabbed the soldier by the collar and dragged him into a doorway. While raising his hand to shoot outside, he loudly asked the soldier: "Hey, are you okay?"
"Mr. Second Lieutenant," the soldier who was rescued by the second lieutenant said with a painful expression: "I am in severe pain. It seems that I will not live long. Please leave quickly and leave me alone."
"No, I can't leave you." When the second lieutenant fired outside, he found that the bullets had been exhausted at some point. He quickly threw away the pistol without bullets, bent down and picked up the submachine gun in the soldier's hand, and then put it away.
The muzzle of the gun was extended, pointing in the direction of the bullet, and pulling the trigger desperately.
The first company commander was only shot in the shoulder, which was not fatal. After the health worker came forward to bandage his wound, he stood up again and hid behind a telegraph pole to carefully observe the situation of the enemy on the opposite side. When he found that the Germans only had one
A submachine gun was firing, and he guessed that other officers and soldiers might have been killed by his own men.
"Grenade!" The first company commander saw a veteran lying on the ground not far away, and shouted to him: "Hurry up and kill the Germans with a grenade."
After listening to his instructions, the veteran immediately got up from the ground and ran against the wall towards the place where the German second lieutenant was hiding. When he was still more than ten meters away, the veteran stopped, pulled the string of a grenade and threw it out, and then he directly
He fell to the ground and held his head in his hands to avoid being hurt by the shrapnel of the grenade.
After a loud "boom", the firing of the submachine gun stopped.
A moment later, the first company commander first saw a submachine gun falling to the ground, and then a German officer stumbled out of the doorway, turned around in a circle, and then fell to the ground.
Seeing that the German patrol had been killed, a company commander jumped from behind a telephone pole into the middle of the road and shouted to the commanders on both sides of the street: "Brothers, the German patrol has been eliminated by us. While they
If you haven’t recovered yet, keep rushing forward with me.”
The other two platoons of the first company, after hearing the gunfire here, hurried over to join them, and then more than a hundred commanders and fighters of the whole company rushed forward along the street. The battle that took place here alarmed the Germans elsewhere.
Soldiers, they rushed over from all directions, trying to figure out what happened. Unexpectedly, as soon as they rushed into the street, what greeted them was an overwhelming rain of bullets, knocking them down in pieces.
The various fortifications in the town all faced south, because the German commander believed that the south was the focus of the Soviet attack, so the defense of the north seemed a bit perfunctory.
There was a sandbag fortification at the intersection, and the German army deployed a machine gun here. Seeing the Soviet army emerging from behind, the German machine gunner who was awakened quickly turned the muzzle of the machine gun, trying to suppress the Soviet army with intensive firepower.
attack. But as soon as his machine gun was set up, and before he had time to pull the trigger, he was stabbed to the core by several bayonets. The German machine gunner, who was still staring at death, had the final realization: These Russians really have no moral ethics.
Yes, he actually used a bayonet.
Hearing the gunshots coming from the town, Victor immediately reported directly to Sokov through the radio: "Comrade Commander, the assault battalion has begun fighting with the enemy in the town."
After hearing this, Sokov asked: "How did you deploy it?"
"Comrade Commander, I ordered the first company to enter the town and carry out a sneak attack on the enemy. The second company served as a guard outside the town, and the third company served as a reserve..."
"What, what did you say?" Sokov became anxious after hearing this: "You actually only sent one company into the town?"
"Yes," Victor heard Sokov getting angry and explained bravely: "I think if the Germans launch a counterattack from the town and they have troops, there is no need to worry."
"Nonsense, you are just being ridiculous." Sokov said angrily: "The task I give you is to disrupt the German troops in the town of Golovanivsik so that they will not be able to fully prevent our army from attacking from the south.
You have only sent one company into the town now. Once the Germans discover that their troops are limited, they will encircle them or even eliminate them. Don't you understand such a simple question?"
After listening to Sokov's criticism, Victor realized his mistake, that is, he should not divide the troops casually. He quickly admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander. It was my fault. It was my lack of consideration. I immediately assigned the other troops to
Two companies also entered the battle."
"Lieutenant Colonel Victor," Sokov said earnestly: "The mission I give you as the assault battalion is to disrupt the enemy's defenses. The more troops you invest, the bigger the noise will be, allowing the Germans to touch it.
Without knowing your actual situation, they will have to divide their forces for defense. If our army launches an attack from the front at this moment, it will have a chance of breaking through the enemy's defense and seizing the town of Golovanivsik. Do you understand?"
Sokov's words made Victor understand that tonight's raid was different from previous battles. There was no need to consider leaving a reserve team. As long as the town occupied by the Germans could be turned upside down, it would be a big victory. He
As soon as Sokov finished speaking, he quickly replied: "I understand, Comrade Commander, I will implement your order and throw the enemies in the town into chaos."
After Sokov ended the call with Victor, he called Chumakov again and said bluntly: "Comrade Commander, a commando battalion I sent has broken into the town of Golovanivsik.
, are fighting with the enemy."
"The assault battalion you sent has already rushed into the town of Golovanivsik?" Chumakov asked in an unbelievable tone: "Is this all true?"
"Comrade Commander, do you think I called you in the middle of the night just to make a joke?"
"No, no, how could you be kidding me?" Chumakov smiled awkwardly and replied, "What you said must be true."
Sokov did not care about the other party's attitude, but directly gave him an order: "Comrade Commander, the assault battalion entered from the north of the town. Their actions have caused a certain degree of chaos in the German army. You should seize
Take this opportunity to launch an attack in time."
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Chumakov quickly agreed: "I will immediately notify Colonel Yesenin and ask him to send new troops to attack the town of Golovanivsik."
The fighting in the town of Golovanivsik continues. The troops led by a company commander are advancing towards the church in the center of the town. Normally, enemies who occupy small cities or towns will set up their headquarters in the center.
In the church in the area, if you want to disrupt the enemy's command system and rush towards the church, there is absolutely no problem.
At this time, the fortifications outside the church were already well prepared. The machine gunner mounted the machine gun on the sandbag and adjusted the angle from time to time in order to shoot at any possible Soviet defense line, while the deputy shooter held a heavy ammunition chain in both hands.
, with an open ammunition box at his feet, ready to replace the ammunition chain at any time.
When the soldiers behind the fortifications were on high alert, they were wondering, where did these damn Russians come from? You know, an hour or two ago, the defensive positions outside the town had easily shattered their
attacked and killed hundreds of people.
Ordinary soldiers have very limited sources of information, and the information they hear is often very different from the real situation. At least the officers who know some inside information at this moment will not tell them that this wave is about to appear in
The Russians within their range rushed in from the north of the town.
Soon, the sound of "Ula" rang out in the streets ahead, mixed with the sound of a large number of footsteps, as well as the sound of bodies and guns hitting each other. The commander in front of the church quickly shouted: "The Russians are coming up.
Everyone, get ready!"
Hearing the officer's shout, the soldiers' nerves became tense. They put their fingers on the trigger, waiting for the target to come into their sight, and then fired without hesitation.
But the first thing to rush out of the darkness were a dozen German soldiers wearing M42 helmets. Almost all of them were injured. One of them, who was injured in the leg, was helped by two companions.
His legs bounced quickly to keep up with the pace of the two of them.
After they saw the fortifications in front of the church clearly, they immediately stumbled over and ran over, thinking that as long as they escaped into the fortifications, they would be completely safe.
Several German soldiers behind the fortifications saw their comrades running over and subconsciously straightened up, wanting to go out to rescue their injured comrades. But before they could leave the fortifications, they saw a large number of Soviet commanders and fighters appearing behind them.
Seeing this, the German commander suddenly waved his hand down and shouted loudly: "Shoot!"
However, no one carried out his order. The soldiers who had just escaped from the alley had blocked the firing range of the machine gun. Once fired, these people would be the first to be knocked down. Therefore, the machine gunners were unwilling to fire to avoid accidental injuries.
own people.
When the officer saw that the machine gunner did not carry out his orders, he became anxious. He put his pistol against the back of one of the machine gunner's heads and said sternly: "Shoot, shoot now! If you don't shoot, I will shoot you in the back of the head."
." The machine gunner had no choice but to close his eyes and pull the trigger.
The sudden sound of gunfire knocked the German soldiers who were rushing towards the fortifications into a shower of blood. For a moment, there was a sound of screams and screams. Some Soviet soldiers who were rushing quickly were also shot by machine guns.
, fell down neatly.
Seeing their comrades fall, the soldiers who continued to charge pulled the triggers one after another and started shooting at the German troops in the fortifications. Because they were in the open ground without any cover, although they performed bravely, their flesh and blood could not stop the bullets.
, also fell one after another on the way to the charge.
The company commander who was rushing in front was lucky enough not to be concentrated by the bullets. He rolled to the side and shouted to the soldiers who were still charging in vain: "Retreat, retreat quickly!" But his shout was blocked by
Covered by gunfire from the front, he quickly picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it vigorously. The soldiers who heard the whistle hurriedly fell down on the spot, or turned around and ran back to a safe place.
After the commanders and fighters found a hiding place, they began to fight back at the German troops behind the fortifications. From time to time, the German soldiers in the fortifications were hit by soldiers lying on their backs, but they occupied the advantage of the terrain and had strong firepower.
For a time, the commanders and fighters of a company were suppressed by the intensive firepower and were unable to move.
"Bazooka, rocket launcher." The first company commander, who was suppressed by fire, finally thought that before setting off, the deputy commander handed him a rocket launcher. He also specifically emphasized that if he encountered a German armored vehicle or a strong firepower point in the town, he would
