At this moment, Sokov was standing in the restored observation post on the high ground, holding a telescope and looking at the German artillery position. When he saw the fire on the artillery position, he was still secretly sighing in his heart, how good this was.
Target, if you have two mortars in your hand, there is no need to send Pavel and the others for a sneak attack. Just fire two cannons from a high position, which is enough to take down the enemy's artillery position, thereby reducing the defense pressure on the third company.
.
But when he saw the German positions in the distance, a firefight suddenly started, and he couldn't help but blood rushed to his head. He cursed Pavel loudly as if no one else was around: "Idiot, you are simply an out-and-out idiot. I asked you to sneak attack the German positions.
, good for you, the sneak attack has turned into a strong attack, let me see if you can blow up the enemy's artillery position."
Saveyev, who was standing nearby, saw Sokov getting angry and quickly said: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I think it must be that the Germans' defense is too tight. Comrade Pavel also led the troops when he had no other choice.
Launching a forceful attack."
"There are more than 300 enemies, and they only have thirty people." Sokov said without looking back: "The smaller party attacks the larger party. This kind of stupid thing can only be done by Pavel."
"Comrade Battalion Commander," Saviev asked tentatively, listening to the gunshots coming from the front: "Do you think we need to take the initiative to help them?"
The distance of three kilometers is not close or far. If we send people to attack from the high ground, it will take at least half an hour for them to arrive at the location of the exchange of fire. When a tired division encounters a German army waiting for work, whether it can win or not is still
An unknown number. It was precisely because of this consideration that Sokov shook his head and said: "No, the attack distance is too far. By the time our soldiers arrive, they will be exhausted. How can they still have the strength to fight the Germans?"
."
"But, Comrade Battalion Commander." Seeing that Sokov rejected his proposal, Saveyev became a little anxious: "Can we just watch our troops being wiped out by the Germans?"
When everyone was in a dilemma, they suddenly heard someone at the door of the observation post asking: "Comrade Battalion Commander, can I come in?"
Sokov turned around and saw Vasily standing at the door, and asked curiously: "Comrade Lieutenant, if you don't stay in the camp at the foot of the mountain, what are you doing here?"
"Comrade Battalion Commander," Vasily replied quickly, "I was worried, so I came to the high ground to have a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came up, I saw troops conducting a sneak attack in the distance and exchanged fire with the Germans. Comrade Battalion Commander
, I think we should go and help them.”
"What should I do?" Sokov looked at Vasily and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Yes, Comrade Battalion Commander." Sokov, who was a little helpless, had no intention of getting the answer he wanted from Vasily. Who knew that after hearing his question, Vasily said with confidence: "I have
Find a way to rescue them."
"What, do you have a way to resolve the current situation?" Hearing what Vasily said, Sokov was overjoyed. He quickly asked: "Comrade Lieutenant, tell me quickly, what is your way?"
"Comrade Battalion Commander," Vasily pointed to the firefighting area in the distance with his hand and said, "It is three kilometers away from our position. I plan to lead two platoons to support them. As long as we reach a distance of 500 meters from the enemy
, we can then support our squad with firepower."
"It's a good idea." Regarding Vasily's suggestion, Saveyev said with some embarrassment: "But we can't directly contact the station at the foot of the mountain. We send soldiers to notify the cannon company to take up the position, and we come back again and again.
, it will be delayed for at least ten or twenty minutes. You must know that under the current situation, every minute is very precious to us."
"Lieutenant Saviev, don't worry." Vasily said to the two men with a smile: "When I went up the mountain, I had already brought two platoons of soldiers up. They are outside at the moment. I think our 12
It’s a general-purpose machine gun, enough to suppress the enemy’s firepower.”
"Vasily, what did you say? You have brought two platoons of soldiers to the position?" Sokov asked in surprise. After seeing Vasily nodding in affirmation, he pointed at him and said: "
Lieutenant Vasily, you are so good at making decisions!"
Unexpectedly, when Vasily heard what Sokov said, he said without changing his face: "Comrade Battalion Commander, time is pressing, please let me attack. If you want to punish me, wait until I get back to the small team."
"Who said you were going to be punished?" A smile appeared on Sokov's face. He raised his chin at Vasily and said: "Hurry up and take your troops to reinforce. Whether the team can complete the mission depends on it.
When will you be able to arrive at the designated location and launch fire suppression against the Germans?"
Pavel, who was commanding the troops to engage in firefights with the Germans, saw that the situation was a bit out of control. In order to complete the task of bombing the artillery, he promptly changed the tasks of the machine gun company soldiers and asked them to use two machine guns to suppress the fire from the truck and cover the first company.
The soldiers approached the artillery so that they could successfully blow up the German cannon.
Although the soldiers of the second company led by Christopher suppressed the German infantry until they could not move, due to their small number, they seemed to be somewhat powerless in the face of the enemies rushing up from several directions. In a short time, there was
Two soldiers were shot and died, and four others were injured to varying degrees.
Christopher fired a short burst at the charging enemy, then glanced in the direction of the artillery position, thinking anxiously: "What happened to the soldiers of the first company? Why haven't they blown up the enemy yet?"
cannon?"
It's not that the soldiers of the first company didn't want to get close to the enemy's artillery, but the bullets fired from the truck compartment firmly blocked their way forward. Two soldiers holding explosives were shot to death as soon as they jumped up.
He fell through the sieve and fell on his back on the snow.
Seeing this situation, Pavel couldn't help but get angry. He shouted at the machine gunner next to him: "Hit me hard at the truck. You must kill all the Germans in the car." The machine gunner tried his best.
The bullets fired into the car continuously knocked down the German soldiers inside, but the bullets fired from the truck still did not stop.
The soldier in charge of the first company saw that he and his comrades were suppressed by the enemy's bullets and could not move. He couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. He secretly said: It's over. If we can't blow up the enemy's cannon, we will wait for the German infantry to rush over.
