Burning Moscow

With the successful experience just now, the second round of shelling by the mortar platoon was fast and accurate, and soon the enemy tanks and the remaining infantry were enveloped in the smoke of gunpowder. The soldiers in the company would naturally not let go of such a good fighter. They quickly jumped from the ground, ran a few steps and then threw the Molotov cocktail in their hands.

When the enemy's three tanks were surrounded by the raging fire, a series of positions rang loudly. With the sound of the Charge, first hundreds of soldiers from the company clambered out of the trench and rushed forward, and then the soldiers from the second and third companies also climbed out of the trench and rushed toward the remaining enemies with their guns.

After the fierce battle in front of the enemy, only seven or eight people remained. In the words of the division commander Biliukov, the hundreds of us rushed up in a swarm, and even trampled them to death. However, the few surviving Germans, whether they were hiding next to a motorcycle or behind a tank, saw our soldiers rushing over, quickly threw down their weapons, and raised their hands high.

After only a few minutes, the battle was over. The soldiers escorted the prisoners into the trenches, leaving behind the still burning tanks and motorcycles. In this battle, no enemy was able to escape.

Biliukov’s phone was called again at this time, and he happily said: "Good job, comrade lieutenant colonel. I have seen everything that happened on the battlefield in the division observation post. Good job! You all I congratulate you on destroying the enemy."

Hearing Biliukov's compliment, I bit my lip with a wry smile, and my feelings filled my heart. Xin said that the teacher's attitude changed too quickly. He was still scolding me half an hour ago, and he praised it again in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, this battle was won. otherwise. What he said on the phone at the moment. It is probably threatening to send me to a military court.

However, since the commander called to praise our regiment, I would like to say a few words: "Thank you, the commander for the compliment. Our regiment will definitely stand firm in its position and will never allow the enemy to move forward." At this point, I said. The topic was brought to Slaven's head. After all, the commander had some concerns about his son when he called this call. "Actually, in the battle just now, Captain Slaven made a great contribution."

Hearing what I said, General Bilyukov was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a puzzled manner: "A great achievement? What is a great achievement? Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, I was confused by you. You tell me well. What's the matter?"

I knew in my heart that when people found something in common, they would suddenly become kind, and what I have in common with General Bilyukov is Captain Slavin. I reported to the other party: "Comrade commander, in the battle, because we lacked enough anti-tank weapons. We were unable to eliminate the five enemy tanks for a long time, and the battle entered a stalemate. It was at this critical juncture. Slavin commanded the Seventh Company. The mortars broke the fire. They aimed at the enemy's tank and used shrapnel to kill the infantry hiding behind the tank. The smoke from the explosion blocked the sight of the enemy tankers, and the soldiers who covered the attack successfully blew up everything. Tanks. Only in this way can we achieve the final victory."

Hearing his son’s glorious deeds, Biliukov laughed twice and said: "I don’t think this kid knows how to adapt to changes. But you can’t get used to him, otherwise he will be proud. Okay, I’m still There are other things, let’s say so much, remember to send me the equipment of the battalion I asked for early. Good luck!" After speaking, I hung up.

Putting down the phone, I stood in front of the observation hole, looking down at the position. I saw the commanders of the three companies, half of which were nervously repairing the fortifications in the trenches. The other half, carrying the remains of the severely wounded and martyrs, and supporting the lightly wounded who can move, came along the traffic trench to the second-line position. I took a closer look at the number of people in the trenches, and the number of casualties actually reached more than one hundred. Thinking of this, my heart tightened a bit. I only fought a small battle with the enemy. One company was lost. If I fight with the Germans with the air force artillery and tanks to cover the attack, how much can I have left in my regiment? personal?

I stood there and spent a while, thinking that I should call Slavin, the seventh company commander. After all, in the battle just now, his mortar platoon made great achievements, and it was a bit unreasonable if I didn't praise a few words. So I dialed Slavin's phone, smiled and said to him, "Hello, Comrade Captain."

Slaven heard my voice, and said politely: "Hello, comrade commander. Captain Slaven reports to you and awaits your orders."

"Good job, Comrade Captain." I didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "In the battle just now, you and your mortar platoon performed very well. Because of your decisive action, you successfully hit the enemy hard. , We can win the final victory. Work hard, and when appropriate, I will recommend you to a higher position to your superiors."

Hearing the pie I drew for him, Slavin's excited voice was a little trembling. He repeatedly said: "Thank you! Thank you, lieutenant colonel! Please rest assured, I will lead my company in the future battles. Make new contributions." At this point, he paused for a while, and then asked tentatively: "When the enemy launches another offensive, what is our company's mission?"

Hearing his question, I was silent for a moment, and began to consider how can we hold the position if the enemy really launches a strong attack on my regiment's position? Maybe it was because I was thinking too much, forgetting that I was on the phone, and just holding the microphone in a daze. In the end, Lukin, who was next to me, grabbed my arm and shook it a few times. I woke up and heard Slavin’s anxious voice from the microphone: "Hey! Hey! Comrade Commander, are you still there? Please speak. , Please speak!"

I smiled embarrassedly at Lukin, and then replied to Slavin who had called me: "Comrade Captain, I'm sorry, I was thinking about the question just now. I was too mad. I forgot that I was talking to you. Enemy. If they attack again, I guess they will send planes and bombardment first, and then the infantry will pounce on our position under the cover of tanks. Comrade Captain, your seventh company is the reserve team of the whole regiment, so you must let the commanders We must be concealed, do not expose the target casually, and avoid unnecessary casualties."

"Comrade commander, I even have a mortar platoon. You know the platoon leader. It is the Sergeant Garnier who I sent to report to you last night. I think that after the new battle begins, the mortar platoon can help The forward troops provide fire cover."

In the meditation just now, I have already thought about how to use this mortar platoon. Since Captain Slaven asked, I told him my thoughts: "Comrade Captain, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. You need to know how to adapt. When the enemy’s infantry is under the cover of tanks and launches an attack on our position, the target of the mortar platoon is no longer the enemy tank, but the infantry following the tank. Tanks without infantry cover, Even if we break through our line of defense, the soldiers in the trenches will use Molotov cocktails to kill them all.” Originally, I wanted to teach him the barrage Xu Jin tactics. Then I thought, this is an offensive tactic. We are now defending, and we don't need it for the time being, so this idea is dispelled.

Just after calling Captain Slavin, Cui Kefu's call came in again. After the call was connected, he asked with some dissatisfaction: "Comrade Oshanina, why do you keep getting stuck on the phone? You know, I called you for ten minutes."

Hearing Cui Kefu’s complaint, I quickly explained: “Report to Comrade Commander, because the battle has just ended, I will report the results of the battle to the division commander, and at the same time, I will also convey new combat orders to the troops below.”

Cui Kefu didn't struggle with me about why I couldn't make a phone call, and asked with concern: "I heard General Biliukov's report that your regiment had just fought a battle with the Germans and won. What was the result of the battle?"

I hurriedly covered the microphone and whispered to Lu Jin in front of me: "Comrade Captain, the commander asked how our regiment's success was? How should I answer him?"

Lu Jin handed a piece of paper to me like a trick, and said with a smile: "Comrade Commander, I was ready a long time ago. This is the result of the statistics just come out."

Seeing that Lu Jin was so prepared, I released my hand covering the microphone and reported to Cui Koff according to the content written on it: "Report to Comrade Commander, in the battle just now, our regiment destroyed 5 German light tanks and motorcycles. There were 21 vehicles, 75 enemies were killed and 11 were captured. The result of the report is complete, please give instructions!"

After listening to Cui Kefu, he hummed with satisfaction, and then asked, "Are there many casualties in our army?"

Seeing the number of casualties of our army on the paper, my heart twitched. I didn't expect it to be more than I estimated. Without hearing my answer, Cui Kefu immediately urged in the microphone: "What's the matter? Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, why don't you speak?"

I gritted my teeth and reported the real casualty data to Cui Kefu: "Report Comrade Commander, our army killed 67 people and injured 125 people ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ 28 of them need to be sent to the rear hospital for surgery. ."

Cui Kefu was stunned when he heard this data, and then asked curiously: "Why are there so many casualties?"

I bit my head and explained to him: "Comrade Commander, when the enemy tanks shelled our positions, the second company was hit by shells where the Molotov cocktail was piled up, causing heavy casualties for the company. The other companies suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers who went out to bomb the tank."

While talking with Cui Kefu, there was a loud noise outside the observation station, and then the soil covering the top of the ceiling was shaken to spill from the gaps in the logs. Cui Kefu raised his voice and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, what happened?"

I shook my head, shook off the dust falling on the helmet, turned my head and looked at the gun smoke rising from the ground outside, and listening to the explosions one after another, calmly reported to Cui Kefu: "Comrade Commander, it looks like, The enemy is about to attack the position of our regiment, and their artillery is shelling the position of our regiment. The sound you just heard was that an enemy's artillery shell fell next to the observation post and exploded."

"Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, since the enemy is attacking again, then you and your soldiers should teach them a lesson. Be careful and good luck!" (To be continued...)
