Chapter 636: Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins (Part 2)
The reserve team was transferred to Beigan, and the first battalion was also deployed at the entrance and exit of the tunnel connecting the two hills, but Sokov's heart was still uneasy. He walked to the door and shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"
Following the shout, Seryosha appeared in front of him: "Comrade Brigadier, do you have any instructions?"
Sokov pointed at him with his hand and said: "Take someone with you immediately and follow me!"
"Where to go?" Seryosha asked instinctively.
"Where else can we go?" Sokov glared at him and said, "Of course to the observation post on the top of the hill."
Knowing that Sokov thought of the observation post above his head, Seryosha quickly asked tentatively: "Then how many people should I take?"
"Take your security company with you." Sokov ordered: "As for the security work in the tunnel, leave it to Major Tenev's security battalion."
"Yes!" Seryozha agreed quickly, "I will go and assemble the troops immediately."
"Comrade Brigadier," Seryosha just ran away. Sidorin, who heard the conversation between the two, walked to the door and asked tentatively: "Are you going to the observation post on the top of the mountain again?"
"Yes, I stay in the observation post and can keep abreast of the situation on the battlefield. Everything here is left to you and..." Sokov said this, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have been there since he woke up until now.
When he didn't see Belgin, he pointed to the camp bed where Belgin was sleeping: "Where did the political commissar go? Why didn't I see him?"
"It's like this," Sidorin heard Sokov ask about Belkin and quickly explained to him: "After you fell asleep, Fourth Battalion Commander Brisky made a phone call. It seemed like the Red October Factory
Something happened, and the political commissar said that you were too tired, not to disturb you, and asked you to continue resting, so he rushed over to deal with it."
"I understand." After learning that Belkin went to the Red October Factory, Sokov felt relieved. As long as all the brigade commanders were not at Mamayev Heights, even if the entire army was destroyed today, at least there would be no one left.
Erkin and the commanders and fighters of the Fourth Battalion could be regarded as saving the seeds for the 73rd Infantry Brigade. He once again told Sidorin: "I will go to the observation post on the top of the hillside to have a look, and I will leave this place to you. If anything happens,
I'll call you."
Arriving at the top of the hillside, Sokov saw at a glance the brutal hand-to-hand fighting going on on the slope of Beigan. Soldiers from both sides collided, bayonet to bayonet, chest to chest, fighting face to face.
Life is exchanged for life, and on the battlefield with thousands of people, a medieval duel between cold weapons is going on.
When it comes to fighting will, the garrison, which is dominated by sailors, is much higher than the Romanian army. However, their numbers are at an absolute disadvantage. The Romanian army can use their numerical advantage to supplement the fighting will and combat effectiveness of the two armies.
the gap on.
Seeing people on both sides constantly falling in the stabbing battle, Sokov couldn't help but feel anxious. Even including the reserve team brought by Shamrih, the total strength of Beigang was only a thousand people, and the enemy's first wave of attacking troops was only
There are more than two thousand, and their follow-up troops are coming in a steady stream at the moment. If there are enough new rockets, just firing a few can wipe out these incoming Romanian troops. However, due to lack of ammunition, their own
However, the troops can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, fighting for their lives. Even if they manage to win in the end, it will be a tragic victory.
Seryosha, who was standing next to Sokov, saw such a cruel hand-to-hand combat for the first time. His eyes widened and he asked Sokov in surprise: "Misha, our people are obviously much smaller than the enemy. If
If we continue to fight like this, we will suffer big losses."
Sokov knew in his heart that if the fight continued, his troops in Beigan would be in danger. He looked around, looking for the mortar troops sent to the top of the hill. After searching for a long time, he saw them hiding under a hill.
Behind the sandbag fortification, Sokov quickly bent down and ran towards them.
Seeing Sokov running towards him, Porochenko, the commander in charge of the artillery, quickly came up to him and asked in surprise: "Comrade Brigade Commander, why are you here?"
"Didn't I order you to support the opponent's high ground with artillery fire?" Seeing all the artillerymen and their mortars staying in a trench behind the sandbag fortifications, Sokov couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you all staying here?"
here?"
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Porochenko explained with a blush after hearing Sokov's criticism: "We fired two rounds of artillery shells towards the opposite side, but they were suppressed by enemy tank fire, causing us a certain amount of casualties.
…”
"Lieutenant Porochenko," Sokov waited for Porochenko to finish speaking and then scolded him with a straight face: "You are an artilleryman. You should know that mortars are direct fire. You can hide out of sight of the enemy.
place, shell the enemy on the hill opposite, and let the enemy tanks have no way of killing you."
Porochenko quickly agreed and took the remaining mortar crews to set up artillery positions. Sokov walked to the other side and leaned down to look at the defensive position below. After seeing the situation clearly below,
He was even more angry. He quickly turned around and walked to the observation post not far away. He picked up the phone and connected to the command post of Second Battalion Commander Vasily. He said angrily: "Comrade Captain, the soldiers in Beigang are fighting with the enemy."
A desperate fight, but what are your people doing?"
Vasily didn't know why Sokov was so angry, so he could only answer honestly: "My troops are on guard in the position to prevent possible attacks by the enemy."
"Comrade Captain," Sokov said sternly: "I just saw several machine guns on your position, with their muzzles pointed at the hillside of Beigan. I ask you, why didn't you give the order to fire? You need to know the distance between the machine gun positions.
The main slope of Beigang is less than two hundred meters away. If you shoot, you can kill a large number of enemies..."
After listening to Sokov silently, Vasily defended himself and said: "Comrade Brigade Commander, have you seen the enemy's tanks under the North Post? If we open fire, we will be hit by enemy tank fire."
"
"As long as you can destroy the enemy, even if your machine gun positions are destroyed by enemy tanks and guns, it is still worth it." Sokov decided to risk everything at this moment. As long as the enemy's attack can be repelled, no matter how heavy the loss is, he can only force it.
He went on with his scalp: "If you allow the defenders of Beigang to be wiped out by the enemy, then the enemy will turn their guns against you. What will happen to you then, even if I don't tell you, you will know in your heart
You should understand."
"I see……"
"You don't understand!" Before Vasily could finish his words, Sokov interrupted him. "If you really understood, you wouldn't keep talking nonsense with me here, but directly order the machine guns on the position.
Fire started."
Sokov put down the phone and said to Seryosha: "Seryosa, go to Porochenko's place and see if their artillery positions are ready, and when can they fire?"
Although this was the first time that Sokov spoke to Seryosha in such an impatient tone, Seryosha could understand his mood. He even thought to himself: If he encountered the same situation, he might personally mention it.
guns, and led the soldiers to rush towards the enemy.
Before Seryosha could come back to report, the machine guns on the second battalion's position opened fire. The intensive firepower composed of four or five machine guns hit the crowded queue of the Romanian army, splashing blood, and they were waiting to come forward.
The soldiers fighting with bayonets fell into a pool of blood amidst screams.
The tank parked at the foot of the mountain saw the infantry queue crowded on the hillside. After being opened one huge gap after another by machine gun fire from the high ground on the other side, the tank immediately turned its muzzle and opened fire at the machine gun fire point on Nangang.
Due to the hasty shooting, the first round of shells fired by the tank failed. However, the tank crew corrected the shooting parameters in time and fired again for the second round. This time they quickly achieved results, blowing up a shooting machine gun.
The blast of shattering air lifted the machine gunner from the trench, threw him high into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Although the comrades around him were blown away by the enemy's artillery shells, the machine gunners of several other machine guns continued to fire, plowing bloody alleys in the enemy's ranks with dense bullets.
While the machine guns killed a large number of enemies, the mortars also opened fire. In order to make up for his mistake, Porochenko ordered his gunners to shoot out all the shells in the shortest possible time. Porochenko heard that
Following Ke's order, the gunners did not dare to neglect and fired at the fastest speed, knocking out the coefficients of the shells around them.
Under the double blow of artillery fire and machine gun fire, the Romanian infantry on the hill finally couldn't hold on anymore, and some people began to turn around and run back. The escape of a few people triggered a large-scale rout, and even the officers began to run back.
Since the hillside was already soaked with blood and the ground became muddy, once the fleeing officers and soldiers fell down, there was no possibility of them getting up. They would be trampled to death by the soldiers who then retreated.
Seeing the enemy retreating, the sailors shouted and chased after them. They broke into the enemy's ranks and stabbed to death any enemy who dared to intercept or resist with their blood-stained bayonets. They directly attacked the tanks parked at the foot of the mountain.
Climb onto the tank and throw a grenade into the open roof to kill the tank crew inside.
"Misha, did you see that?" Seeing the enemy begin to rout on a large scale, Seryosha couldn't help but smile. He got carried away and patted Sokov's back several times with his hand, and said excitedly: "The enemy
Escaped, we won!"
Seeing the enemy's defeat, Sokov felt relieved, but he did not dare to take it lightly. After all, his troops' ammunition had been almost exhausted. As long as the enemy launched another attack of this scale, it would be difficult to stop it.
He quickly picked up the phone and said to Vitkov at Beigang: "Comrade Deputy Brigadier, the enemy has been repulsed by us. Immediately order the troops to stop the pursuit and seize the time to collect ammunition to prevent the enemy from launching a new attack."
