Burning Moscow

I instructed Lu Jin: "Comrade Captain, call the company commanders of each company to make them pay attention to concealment. Except for the observation posts, the rest of the positions should withdraw to the concealment department to avoid unnecessary casualties as much as possible."

Since yesterday’s air raid, the regiment’s commanders were killed or wounded, the regiment’s battalion-level organization has been cancelled, and every order of mine is directly issued to each company commander through Lukin.

Two more shells fell near the observation post and exploded. Amid the rumbling of the explosion, the soil on the roof was shaken and fell. Lu Jin looked at the roof with some worry, and then persuaded me: "Comrade commander, this place is too dangerous. Let's find a safe place to hide, and wait until the enemy's shelling is over before we come back."

Although there was a lot of dust on my helmet and shoulders, I was too lazy to dust it. Anyway, the soil on the roof would fall down after a while, even if it was dusted clean, it would not take long for it to fall on again. For Lu Jin's kindness, I waved my hand and refused. I pretended to be calm and said: "Comrade Captain, don’t be nervous. The enemy’s artillery is shelling the positions of our regiment. These few shells that fell outside the observation post should have been missed by the enemy accidentally. We stay here. What's the danger."

After hearing my far-fetched reason, Lu Jin grinned and smiled helplessly: "Well, since the head of the group said that it is safe to stay in the observation station, then I will stay here with you."

In order to ease his nervousness, I smiled and said, "Captain Lukin, really don’t worry. It’s not my first time on the battlefield. Although I have suffered several injuries, it’s all right. You see. I’m right now. Don't you stand in front of you well?"

The enemy’s shelling did not last long. After half an hour. The enemy's shelling has just ended. The enemy's offensive troops appeared in my field of vision. Ten German tanks drove aggressively towards our position, and German soldiers wearing steel helmets trot behind the tanks.

As the enemy's shelling stopped, the commanders hiding in the hidden department also returned to the trenches one after another. Lu Jin asked me for instructions: "Comrade Commander, how should we fight the next battle?"

I watched the enemy tanks and infantry getting closer and closer to the position, and slowly said to Lukin: "Comrade Captain, tell the three company commanders of the first line of defense not to hit the enemy tanks, just let them go. Charge forward. After they rushed through our first line of defense, they immediately fired to wipe out the infantry following behind. As for the tanks that rushed over, they were handed over to the troops on the second line of defense to resolve. My order, do you understand?"

After Lu Jin readily agreed, he began to call the company commanders: "I am Captain Lu Jin. Give me company commanders one after the other. Is one company commander?" He shouted into the microphone: "Commander, commander. The troops on a line of defense don’t care about the enemy’s tanks, but let them rush forward. After they have rushed through the trenches, you will open fire decisively. You must eliminate all the enemy infantry behind the tanks, understand. Very good. Now that you understand it, you can immediately convey the order to Er Lian San Lian."

After finishing the call, he went on to call the company commander of the Fourth Company.

"Fourth company commander, is that you?" Lu Jin gave an order to the company commanders through the microphone: "The commander ordered, after the enemy's tanks cross the first line of defense, you must quickly dispatch battles and use the traffic trenches to approach the enemy. Tanks, use Molotov cocktails to destroy all these tanks without infantry cover. Do you understand? Okay, just understand. You immediately relay this order to the company commander of the fifth company and sixth company, and let them act with your company. ."

Since the frontier received my order to let go of the enemy's tanks and only fight the infantry behind, when the enemy's tanks approached the trenches, no one fired. Ten German tanks lined up in a battle formation smashed through the burning motorcycle wreckage in front of the position, smoothly passed the first trench of our army, and galloped forward at full speed.

The enemy's infantry was not large, only one hundred fifty or sixty men, but they were obviously veterans with rich combat experience. As soon as the gunshots of our army blared, they fell to the ground and fired back. Several German machine gunners quickly seized a favorable position and established a machine gun position. Then several machine guns fired at the same time. The commanders on the position facing them were suppressed by the fierce machine gun fire. The trench cannot look up.

I turned my head and said to Lukin, "Comrade Captain, give me seven consecutive company commanders, Captain Slaven."

After that, I watched the enemy tanks that broke through our positions. I saw the car rushing in front, a group of fire suddenly appeared on the body, and then drove forward for a certain distance, then slowly stopped, and began to burn in the same place. I looked around with my binoculars, and no one of our soldiers was found near the tank. Then who broke this tank?

Just thinking about it, another tank caught fire, and after a few steps forward, it plunged into the nearby traffic trench. I saw no soldiers from our army showed up around me, and then I remembered that the division commander had sent us three anti-tank guns. Lu Jin was equipped with four companies. The two destroyed tanks should be their masterpieces.

Seeing that two tanks were destroyed in a row, the remaining tanks became more cautious. They slowed down and fired at our army's second line of defense as they marched.

Lukin handed the microphone to me and said, "Comrade Commander, Captain Slaven's call is connected."

I took the microphone and had no politeness, and said straightforwardly to Slavin: "Comrade Captain, order the mortar platoon to fire and knock down the enemy’s machine gun positions. After the fight, I will fire on the enemy’s dense area and use artillery fire. Kill them a lot. Remember, don't hurt yourself by mistake."

"Please rest assured, the commander, I will immediately order the mortar to fire." Slaven yelled in the microphone and answered.

When I looked out again, the number of German tanks destroyed in front of the second position had increased to five, and the remaining tanks stopped advancing quickly and stopped in place to shoot indiscriminately.

Lu Jin put the microphone in front of me again, and reported: "Comrade commander, it's the phone number of the division commander."

"How is your place? Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina." Biyukov's dissatisfied voice came from the microphone: "I heard the report from the observation station that the enemy tank has broken through the first line of defense of your regiment. Stop and shell the second line of defense. What is going on? Why did the enemy's tank break through our line of defense?"

Regarding his reproach, I calmly and clearly reported to him: "Report to Comrade Commander, because our regiment lacks anti-tank weapons, so when the enemy attacked, I specifically ordered the front-line troops to let go of the enemy's tanks and only hit the back. As for the tanks that broke through our line of defense, our troops on the second line of defense can eliminate them all because there is no cover from the infantry." At this point, I raised my binoculars and looked outside, and then said: "The enemy has ten tanks in total. At present, more than six tanks have been destroyed in front of the second line of defense of our regiment. The remaining four are shooting aimlessly at our army's position. I saw soldiers carrying Molotov cocktails. , Is approaching these tanks quietly through the traffic trenches, and I believe it will not be long before they will all be wiped out."

"Good job, Comrade Oshanina. When the battle is over, remember to call me right away." After speaking, there was no sound in the microphone.

I handed the microphone back to Lu Jin, and at the same time said to him: "Comrade Captain, I'm sorry, I have turned you into my signal soldier today. I will continue to stay in the observation post. You immediately go to the seventh company and command the mortar. Platoon bombardment of infantry attacking the enemy must annihilate this attacking enemy in the shortest possible time."

Under the precise strike of the mortar, the German machine gun position was destroyed. Lukin commanded a mortar platoon to bombard the German infantry who were stubbornly resisting. The shells fell one after another and exploded next to the German soldiers lying on the ground. The explosion of air pulled one soldier after another from the ground and threw them high. In the air, he fell heavily to the ground.

I saw the ten German tanks burning in various poses in front of the second line of defense, and the German infantry in front of the first position suffered heavy casualties under the blow of artillery fire. It seemed that the troops should be allowed to attack. So I asked the correspondent who had just arrived to connect me with a company.

As soon as the call was connected, I shouted into the microphone: "Is it a company commander? I'm Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina. Did you see it? Ten German tanks that rushed past your trenches were all caught The troops on the second line of defense have been wiped out. Don’t hesitate any longer, hurry up and lead your company to attack, and get rid of all the Germans in front of you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With my order, the forward position is soon There was the sound of a bugle that was suppressed by the sound of guns. With the sound of the bugle, the commanders in the trenches crawled out of the trenches, shouting and rushing towards the enemy.

After a short battle, except for a few soldiers who escaped, the rest were either killed or surrendered obediently and became prisoners of our army.

At the end of the battle, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving a call from the company commander to report the results of the battle, I quickly called Biliukov and reported to him excitedly: "Comrade Commander, hello! I am Oshanina. Lieutenant Colonel, all the enemies that attacked our army positions have been wiped out. In the previous battle, we destroyed ten enemy tanks, killed 127 soldiers and captured 25 people."

"Do you know the number of the enemy?"

"After interrogation, it can be determined that they are all from the 71st Division of the German Infantry."

"Okay, comrade lieutenant colonel, good work. I will report this result to Comrade Commander immediately. I remind you, you can't be proud. Let the soldiers hurry up and reinforce the fortifications and do a good job of repelling the enemy. Preparation for the offense." (To be continued.)
