In less than half an hour, the soldiers of both companies entered their lurking positions. In order to avoid being noticed by the Germans, they built a half-man-high snow wall in front of the position. There were holes on the wall at regular intervals.
A shooting hole is specially used for machine gun shooting. The soldiers hidden behind the snow wall are waiting for the enemy to enter their ambush circle.
However, time passed minute by minute, and the hour mentioned in the telegram had already passed. However, there was still no sign of German reinforcements on the road. Seeing this, Sokov couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"Why hasn't the enemy appeared yet? Is it because we set the ambush in the wrong direction?"
Just when he was feeling uneasy, the commander who had been listening attentively suddenly said in surprise: "The enemy is coming!"
"The enemy is coming?" Hearing what the commander said, Sokov quickly listened carefully, but unfortunately, he heard nothing except the deafening roar of the tank engine. He looked at the commander and asked strangely
: "Comrade Commander, why didn't I hear anything? Did you hear it wrong?"
"That's right, comrade battalion commander, I won't hear you wrong." Seeing Sokov casting a suspicious look on him, the commander quickly explained: "I have been a tank soldier for more than ten years, even if the sound of the tank engine
No matter how loud it is, I can still hear cars driving in the distance."
As soon as the commander finished speaking, a convoy appeared on the road in the distance. Seeing the enemy's convoy appeared, Sokov felt a secret joy in his heart and quickly ordered loudly: "Comrade commander, prepare for battle immediately.
, as soon as the enemy truck approaches, we will fire immediately!"
"Comrade Battalion Commander," as he spoke, the enemy's convoy moved closer. The commander pointed at the two three-wheeled motorcycles leading the way and said, "Is our attack target a motorcycle or a truck?"<
/p>
Sokov stared at the approaching convoy and noticed that the two motorcycles leading the way were originally moving at the same speed as the trucks. But they seemed to have spotted the tanks parked on the road and suddenly sped up and rushed over. See here
, Sokov turned to the commander and said: "Comrade commander, immediately use the radio to notify the No. 2 car next to you and tell them that when the German motorcycles approach the 100-meter range, they will immediately shoot them down with machine guns. And we,
Then aim at the first truck in the convoy and open fire."
The two motorcycles leading the way in front of the convoy saw two tanks lined up parked on the road in the distance. They thought they were coming to meet them, so they sped up and prepared to rush over to establish contact with friendly forces. However,
They never dreamed that when they were less than a hundred meters away from the tanks, one of the tanks suddenly shot at them with a machine gun.
The soldier driving the motorcycle bore the brunt and was hit by bullets and fell off the vehicle. The motorcycle lost control and crashed into a snowdrift on the roadside, knocking the soldier out of the sidecar. Before he could fall into the snowdrift,
The soldier stood up, and another tank fired at the truck in the distance.
The shell fired by the tank hit the first truck without any bias. There was a loud "boom", and in the light of the fire, countless car parts and soldiers' broken limbs were thrown high into the air by the air waves.
They landed in the snow near the explosion point one after another.
The vehicle following behind saw that the vehicle in front was blown up, and hurriedly applied the emergency brake. The German soldiers in the carriage were already on high alert, and found themselves under attack. Before the vehicle could stop, they opened the tarpaulin at the back.
, jumped out of the car one after another, preparing to disperse into the forests on both sides of the road, so as not to stay on the road as a target.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached the forest, gunshots like exploding beans suddenly rang out in the forest. The commanders and soldiers hidden behind the snow wall opened fire decisively. The dense bullets hit the German ranks, causing huge balls of blood.
In the fog, the German soldiers who were running forward were caught off guard, and fell to the gunfire of the Soviet army one after another. The remaining soldiers hurriedly retreated to the vicinity of the truck, relying on the body of the truck to carry out the final resistance.
Seeing the enemy huddled near the truck, Vanya stood up first, raised his pistol high above his head, and shouted loudly: "Comrades, charge with me!" After shouting, he slammed through the truck in front of him.
The snow wall took the lead and rushed towards the enemies on the road. The soldiers shouted "Ula" and also broke through the snow wall and rushed forward with weapons in hand.
The machine gun company hidden in the forest on the south side saw the first company launching the attack. Naturally, not to be outdone, it also launched a charge and rushed towards the enemy trapped on the road.
The German soldiers who were hiding next to the truck and firing randomly toward the forest were stunned when they saw a group of people wearing German uniforms rushing out of the forest. Their first reaction was: They made a mistake. They must have made a mistake.
There was a fight between one of our own people. But when I heard the soldiers rushing out on knee-high snow, shouting "Ula!", I realized that the people who were fighting with me were not my own people.
But Russians wearing German uniforms.
The commander in the tank in the distance saw Soviet commanders and fighters rushing out of the forest on both sides of the road, and quickly asked Sokov for instructions: "Comrade Battalion Commander, do we need to help them?"
Sokov saw the battle taking place on the road in the distance. The Soviet army had an absolute advantage in terms of firepower and numbers. He shook his head and said: "No need, our infantry is enough to deal with this enemy."
”
The German army originally numbered more than 200 people, but under the intensive firepower of the Soviet army, two-thirds of them were killed or injured in just a few minutes. The remaining people hid around the truck and rushed towards them desperately.
The Soviet soldiers who came over were shooting, but their results were very limited.
Seeing the Soviet soldiers getting closer and closer, the German soldiers became timid and became hesitant to shoot. Finally, one German soldier couldn't stand it anymore and took the lead to throw away the weapon in his hand and raised his hands to surrender. When he saw someone
Surrender, the people next to you will follow suit and throw away their weapons and surrender.
The German company commander, who was shooting desperately, saw that some of his men actually surrendered to the Soviet army. He quickly turned his gun and shot at these unsteady men. When he knocked down two soldiers who raised their hands to surrender,
A bullet flew from nowhere and pierced his temple directly. His body suddenly froze, shook twice and then fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing that the company commander was shot dead by the Soviet army, the German soldiers' will to resist suddenly collapsed. They shouted in German that the Soviet commanders and soldiers did not understand, threw away their weapons, raised their hands and surrendered obediently.
Seeing the end of the battle in front, Sokov, who was sitting in the tank watching the battle, breathed a sigh of relief and said to the commander: "Okay, comrade commander, the battle is over." Then he glanced at the three survivors in front of the tank.
The motorcyclist saw the three people standing on the side of the road honestly, throwing their weapons at their feet, raising their hands high, without any attempt to resist, so he added, "Send a soldier out to take these three prisoners into custody."
