Arc of Gunfire

Sergeant Semyon was holding the PPSh in an attempt to fix the jam when he heard the sound of the Proson machine gun.

He looked up when he heard the sound of the machine gun and saw a Proson man standing up in the bushes, firing a machine gun.

The machine gunner hadn't noticed Sergeant Semyon yet, so he lowered his body and repeatedly pulled the bolt to try to get the stuck shell out.

When he pulled it for the third time, the shell came out with a click. Sergeant Semyon immediately pulled the bolt several times to make sure the fault had been completely fixed, then turned the gun straight and started splashing water at the Proson machine gunner.

It was impossible to shoot accurately, and the PPSh was not a weapon prepared for that. The Ante soldiers had already developed a habit of splashing water no matter how far away they were. Even if they couldn't hit the enemy, they could force the enemy to lie down and hide.

So the enemy machine gunner was surrounded by weeds broken by bullets, and the leaves were blown up by the wind.

The machine gunner didn't lie down at all, but turned the muzzle of the gun to aim at Sergeant Semyon.

At this moment, a PPSh bullet hit the machine gunner's shoulder, almost immediately taking away the strength of the arm holding the bipod, so the machine gun fell down, but continued to fire.

The bullet hit the turret of the tank, and then the body of the tank -

The bullet that hit the body of the tank ricocheted and hit Sergeant Semyon's calf directly.

The sergeant leaned against the turret, supporting his body with his elbow and other leg, holding the heavy submachine gun and continuing to fire.

The Proson machine gunner was hit by several bullets and fell backwards, and the machine gun also rolled to the ground.

Sergeant Semyon was just about to take a breath when he saw another Proson man emerging from the grass, as if he was going to rush up to pick up the machine gun.

So Sergeant Semyon pulled the trigger again and poured out all the remaining bullets in the drum.

The Proson soldier was not hit, but he still lay down.

Sergeant Semyon pressed the latch and slapped the drum with his hand, so the empty drum fell and hit Sergeant Semyon's feet.

He cursed Suka and tried to pull a new drum from his carrying gear. At this time, the hatch of the tank turret opened a little, and the commander and gunner inside asked: "What's going on?"

Sergeant Semyon touched the drum and said: "Drive forward quickly, there are Prosen people in the grass around here! You have sent us there, leave the rest to us!"

The commander glanced at Semyon's shoulder: "Your hand is injured, and the blood is all over your sleeve."

Sergeant Semyon turned his head and saw a red patch on his sleeve.

"Damn, I was wondering why my hands were a little shaky..."

The commander handed over a roll of bandages: "This is what we have in our car."

Sergeant Semyon gave up touching the drum, took the bandage and began to bandage his arm, while continuing to urge: "Drive forward, there are so many Prosons in the bushes! No wonder General Rokosov assigned so many auxiliary troops to the tank unit--"

While speaking, Sergeant Semyon looked around. Many tanks had been destroyed by Proson soldiers in close combat, and the Ante infantry who got off the car were engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Prosons.

The T34 tanks, which lacked training and had poor vision, could not help much in this situation. It felt like tanks were fighting tanks and infantry were fighting infantry, and the two sides were fighting two unrelated battles.

Sergeant Semyon finished bandaging and returned the bloody bandage to the commander, while urging: "Drive forward! Rush! Attack the enemy's logistics and command organs!"

The commander retracted and closed the hatch, and the tank engine roared again.

Sergeant Semyon steadied himself, and he finally took out the drum and installed it on the submachine gun.

Then he looked down at his feet, and was sure that he probably couldn't get off the vehicle to fight.

He held the gun and looked around alertly.

This T34 did not have an anti-aircraft machine gun installed on the roof. It seemed that General Rokossov interfered with military production in order to ensure that the infantry had enough machine guns.

But the general's own army group anti-aircraft machine guns were fully equipped.

Sergeant Semyon thought, after this battle, will the 40th Tank Army also become Rokossov's direct line and get new equipment? When the time comes, I will write a letter to my wife about this. She will definitely be happy. It is less likely to die if you fight with General Rokossov.

After all, he is one of the few generals who have made outstanding achievements in the terrible rout last year...

At this time, Sergeant Semyon suddenly heard the sound of a horn.

He looked back and found that a cavalry unit appeared from nowhere and was rolling across the grassland.

In the sun, the flash of the saber was like a meteor on the ground.

Where did the cavalry come from?

Didn't the cavalry be reorganized into tank units?

Semyon watched the cavalry rush through the Proson positions and slaughter the Prosons with cold weapons such as sabers.

Finally, the morale of the Prosons collapsed, and many Prosons got up and ran back.

The cavalry caught up with the tank where Semyon was. A cavalry captain saw Semyon and said, "You are injured, Davarish."

"Dava...ah?" Semyon was a little surprised, "What?"

"Davarish, it seems that it was originally used by the navy. General Rokossov's troops called each other that."

Semyon said "Oh", and then asked, "Where did you come from?"

"We just arrived. General Rokossov ordered us to catch up with you, saying that you didn't have enough accompanying troops. So we came."

"It's great to come!" Semyon smiled.

In a flash, something flashed in the distance.

When the shell hit the tank, Semyon only heard a "bang", and the next moment he flew up.

It took him half a second to realize that he was flying. He looked at the ground and stared at the captain's wide eyes.

The captain should have shouted something, but Semyon could no longer hear it.

His ears could not hear anything now.

He saw the reason. The tank exploded, the turret flew into the air, but the body of the vehicle was still moving forward.

—— I must have been deafened by the explosion.

Thinking of this, the earth suddenly approached Sergeant Semyon's vision and embraced him like a mother.

————

Captain Makarov shouted at the moment the tank exploded: "88 gun!"

He had seen such a situation.

And the 88 gun crew survived the fire preparation!

The captain looked forward and saw the flash of firing.

The distance was about one kilometer. Obviously, the Proson people had just restored the operation of this gun, otherwise they would not put the tank so close before firing.

The captain turned around and shouted: "Cavalry! Kill the last artillery group! We can't let it destroy our tank troops!"

Generally, the 88 artillery group would have machine guns or even small-caliber anti-aircraft guns to cover, but at this time, there was no need to care about so much.

Captain Makarov led the cavalry and rushed to the artillery position with the determination to die.

However, without machine guns and 20mm small-caliber guns, the cavalry was like a wave, flooding the artillery position.

When Captain Makarov rushed past the artillery position, he aimed at a sergeant wearing a boat hat - the boat hat should be someone from the Proson Air Force.

The captain gently put down his hand, and without much force, the saber cut across the sergeant's cheek and split his head in half.

When the captain wanted to find another target, he found that the remaining people in the artillery group were all divided by the cavalry.

The Opel truck carrying the artillery shells wanted to run, and the captain chased it and threw a grenade into the cab.

The next moment, the cab of the truck exploded, and the out-of-control car overturned on the grassland, followed by a huge explosion.

The captain could not contain his excitement and shouted: "Uraaaaaa!"

"Uraa!" The loud sound shook the grassland.
