Burning Moscow

As early as when our army was still gathering at the foot of the mountain, the German troops on the ground stopped building fortifications, hid in the trenches dug only a half, and put all kinds of weapons on the edges of the trenches. The machine guns or mortar positions in the outer skirmish bunkers were also ready for battle. As soon as our troops entered range, they immediately opened fire.

Seeing the German army waiting in the binoculars, I couldn't help worrying. I was afraid that the counterattacks were moving too fast. Before the rockets fired, they entered the range of the German machine guns. In that case, I would suffer a great sacrifice. Therefore, while watching the skirmish formation advancing, I raised my hand from time to time to look at my watch, silently calculating where the artillery might go when they fired.

Before our artillery fired, the mortars on the German positions had fired first. Several mortar shells roared and exploded on the open ground. One of them landed in the first row. The blast of air overwhelmed several commanders and fighters, blasting a gap in the neat lineup. The commanders in the back row quickly accelerated and filled the gap in front.

Seeing that our commanders were bombarded by the enemy, I was about to turn my head and let Povsky notify the rocket launcher to fire in advance. When I heard a strange noise in the air, the arrow-like fire pierced the sky and dragged it. After the rocket with its long flame tail drew an arc in the air, it landed exactly on the southern **** of Position Four. The position was immediately enveloped by a sea of ​​fire, and then there was a terrible rumbling sound.

Halfway through the open ground, the counterattack force saw that the position was enveloped by a sea of ​​fire. Not only did it not slow down, but instead it changed from trot to trot. Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but screamed in surprise, because they were running like this. Maybe the second round of rocket salvos hadn’t even started, they rushed into the fire coverage area, and then they would be the end of the battle.

When our soldiers rushed into a range of four hundred meters. The mortars and machine guns on the hillside that were not destroyed by artillery fired. Sporadic shells exploded, and a shower of bullets ejected from machine guns. From time to time, we will bring down our commanders and fighters.

At this moment, the sound of rockets flying again came from the sky. After a while, the southern **** of Position 4 turned into a sea of ​​flames again. The mortars and machine guns, which were still making deaths a moment ago, fell silent in the sea of ​​flames. Seeing that the enemy's resistance had ceased, our commanders accelerated their charge and quickly rushed towards the southern slope.

Seeing this, Nekrasov exclaimed in excitement: "It's great. It's great. Comrade Commander, you see, our soldiers rushed up, rushed up, and they will be able to seize the position immediately. came back."

I was obviously not as optimistic as Nekrasov. Through the telescope, I looked carefully at the hillside that was still full of smoke and bomb craters, and tried my best to search for survivors who might still exist.

When the commanders approached the position halfway up the mountain, a lot of grenades flew out of the dilapidated trenches that were blown into virtual soil. Fall into the queue and explode. After a large group of fire and smoke rose up, the commanders who were enveloped in it fell one after another. Those who were lucky enough to not be hit by the rear hid in the crater beside him. Shoot in the direction where the grenade is flying, or throw the grenade you carry with you.

When I saw the soldiers shooting at the trenches where the enemy was indistinct, I suddenly remembered something, so I put down my binoculars and asked Nekrasov: "Comrade Colonel, last time your division was assigned a thousand. Kalashnikov rifle, how did you distribute it?"

"Each regiment has three hundred branches, and the remaining one hundred branches are under the unified management of the division." Nekrasov replied, "I once asked the head of the 223 regiment today. He said that in order to ensure the victory of the counterattack, three Half of the commanders and fighters in the battalion are equipped with Kalashnikov rifles. The remaining commanders and fighters are all *sha submachine guns or Mosinlagan rifles."

When I heard it secretly, it was not good, although this Kalashnikov rifle worked well. But there is still a familiar process, half of the assault troops are replaced with new weapons. Not only will it not increase the combat effectiveness, but because the soldiers are not familiar with this weapon, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. But now that the troops have rushed forward and engaged in close combat with the remnants of the German army, there is no way to adjust them.

Povsky asked Nekrasov curiously: "Comrade Commander, look at the trenches on the hillside, they have almost been destroyed by our rockets, but where did the enemies who are still fighting come out of?" Hearing the implication of what he said, he was asking Nekrasov: Didn’t you just say that there is no tunnel in the fourth position? So how did so many enemies survive our powerful firepower?

I actually found out the question that Povsky asked, but I haven't had time to ask it yet. Now that he asked, I remained silent, wanting to hear how Nekrasov answered.

After a moment of silence, Nekrasov pointed to the distant formation and said: "Commander, Colonel, please see. On both sides of the southern slope, there are traffic trenches connected to the north. I guess that when the enemy encounters artillery fire, most of the troops will be They hid on the northern slope. They waited for our commanders to rush up the hill, and when they could no longer receive artillery support, they rushed out from the side and blocked the way for our army to charge with fire."

Although the commanders and fighters on the hill did not have artillery support, they used the crater as a cover, avoided the enemy's grenades and machine guns to form a fire blockade, and continued to charge upwards. As soon as some soldiers emerged from the crater, they were hit by enemy bullets or knocked down by shrapnel flying horizontally.

The commanders hiding in the crater saw that their comrades were knocked down one after another, so they did not rush upward blindly. Instead, he stood up and shot the gun outwards and then squatted down, or crawled and rolled from one crater into another.

Although the German army was hiding in the trenches and the defeated soldiers were still shooting or throwing grenades outside, they still couldn't stop our soldiers from approaching the fortification a little bit. Without much effort, the soldiers hiding in the crater threw a series of grenades. When the smoke billowed from the trenches, which affected the vision of the Germans, they decisively jumped out of the crater and rushed into the trenches, and engaged in close combat with the Germans inside. .

One point was broken, and the German army was in a mess. More and more commanders and fighters jumped out of the crater, rushed into the trenches, mixed with the remaining German officers and soldiers, and started a close fight.

Although the observation post I was at was two kilometers away from the fighting place, I seemed to hear the sound of killing on the battlefield echoing in my ears all the time. Under my gaze, the German resistance finally gradually ceased. The commanders and soldiers in the trenches were divided into two directions, from the east and west, and rushed to the north position along the traffic trenches.

When I saw the red flag flying over the fourth position again, I sighed and said that I would finally take back the damned position~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With this lesson, the frontiers will definitely strengthen their guard, and the Germans will think about it again. It is impossible to take our position easily.

Half an hour later, the third battalion Changxing hurriedly returned to the observation post and personally reported to me the good news of regaining the position. I carefully looked at the young captain standing in front of me, and saw that the Feng Ji buckle on his collar was wide open, and his narrow and dusty face was full of joy. He happily reported to me: "Comrade Commander, we have successfully regained the fourth position."

"Good job, Comrade Lieutenant." I raised my hands and slapped him on his shoulders. After complimenting him, I told them: "Since the position has been retaken, we must defend it well. We must not let the Germans." Take it again. Understand?"

"Understood, Comrade Commander," the captain replied loudly.

I nodded satisfied with the captain's answer. Then he turned his head and said to Povsky who was standing next to him: "Comrade Colonel, you call the deputy commander and say that position 4 has been retaken. Let him immediately report the good news to the front army headquarters. "

"Yes, Comrade Commander." Povsky, who had witnessed the entire process of regaining the No. 4 position with his own eyes, replied loudly. (To be continued.)
