Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 106: Kilmanovo blockade

Noskov collective farm, billowing smoke enveloped this originally peaceful and peaceful farm far away from the city.

A German tank ran over a scorched cabbage field with the sound of a rumbling motor. The only remaining emerald green cabbage was crushed by the tank's heavy tracks and mixed with the scorched soil.

Afterwards, the tank climbed up a soft soil **** and stepped over the trench less than half a meter deep behind the soil slope. In the trench, there were dozens of Soviet soldiers' bodies. Several German soldiers following the tank jumped into the trenches and fired at a few corpses first, and then went to check if there were any survivors.

A middle-aged German soldier spotted a Soviet soldier who was still trembling. He walked over and kicked the opponent. Seeing that he was motionless and white smoke coming out from under him, he bent over and grabbed it. His arm turned him over.

This Soviet soldier looked very young, his face covered with dust and blood was still a bit childish. He opened his eyes and turned his back to the sky. There was a strange smile on his childish face, and his mouth opened and closed slightly. It seems to be saying something.

It's a pity that the middle-aged German soldier didn't understand Russian, otherwise he could hear it. What this soldier said was: "For Squad Leader Lida, Ulla!"

But even if he understood Russian, the German soldier probably couldn’t take care of it, because he finally found something with white smoke. It was a bundle of grenade, which was held tightly by the young Soviet soldier. Arms.

"boom!"

The huge explosion sounded a tremor in the ground, and the strong air wave and shattered shrapnel overturned several nearby German troops to the ground.

With this blast, dozens of figures suddenly jumped out from another trench a few meters behind. They were holding various weapons, including rifles with bayonets, military shovel, and There are stones and wooden sticks. These crazy guys shouted all kinds of slogans and curses, rushing into the German army queue like crazy, and fighting each other at close range.

Soon, I was taken aback, and only a dozen German infantrymen were slaughtered. Two tanks that had run over the trenches shot frantically with machine guns while retreating to the rear, but they were surrounded by a group of people. Someone blocked the vent of the tank with mud, but after retreating more than ten meters, the two tanks fell into their nests. The panicked tank soldiers tried to escape from the tank, but they were dragged from inside by the Soviet soldiers who had already climbed into the tank. Come out and beat them to death...

Such scenes were frequently staged in the entire Defensive Zone of the Noskov Collective Farm with a width of nearly three kilometers. In the battle that lasted for several hours, every time the German army saw that it was about to break through the Soviet defense line, there would always be More Soviet soldiers rushed out and smashed with them.

And in a wider area, the line of defense from Karjegar will stand to Kilmanovo, which is nearly twelve kilometers wide. Such scenes also occur in various sections. The Soviet troops responsible for the defense of this line of defense , Not even a gun, not even a heavy machine gun. On the opposite side of them, the Germans successively invested 27 fighters and more than 50 tanks in this area, and more artillery shells poured out on the position. The Soviet defense forces suffered huge casualties, but in the battle that lasted for several hours, the German offensive was repelled three times, and 17 tanks were destroyed. The casualties of the soldiers were equally huge, but the last two of the Soviets. The line of defense has never been breached.

From the point of view of the German commander, this was incredible. He wanted to find out what kind of person the opposing commander "Lida squad leader" was, and why a woman and a squad leader could command such a huge force. , And can make every soldier in the army feel dead.

This is a group of fighters who are holding their ground with their teeth. They are qualified to win the respect of anyone, even their enemies.

Yes, in the opinion of the German commander, the commander of this Soviet army is a female squad leader named "Lida", because every time the Soviet army launches a counterattack, the hideous Soviet soldiers will shout loudly. "For Squad Leader Lida," he rushed out of various corners, looking like a ghost.

But what the German commander didn't know was that Squad Leader Lida was not the commander of this unit, she was just a fictional character in the story.

The true commander of this force was on the last line of defense of the Soviet army at this time. He was lying in a trench less than half a meter deep, dying.

The strong tremor awakened Victor from his coma. He opened his eyes weakly, and his vision was a bit blurred. In the battle half an hour ago, he was cut into his abdomen by a shrapnel from a shell, and his intestines overflowed. Yes, he saw his intestines. It was hard to imagine that scene.

Since there is no medical soldier, he can only be bandaged by an experienced veteran. He only persisted for a while before passing out. At that moment, he felt that he was really going to die, and he didn’t know what to do after death. Can you return to the world you are familiar with?

What's interesting is that in the coma, he also had a dream. The dream was not terrifying, on the contrary, it was still a little charming pink. In his sleep, he and Safina came together again, that very relaxed woman played a lot of new poses with him, and at the moment he was awakened, Safina was using her full flexibility Replaced the mouth with his chest, trying to send him to the peak of excitement.

With a regretful smack, Victor sighed. He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky covered by the billowing smoke, silently waiting for Death to patronize.

"Comrades, this will be our last battle," vaguely, he heard a hoarse voice shouting not far away, "If there is a **** of death, he might be looking down at us somewhere, but, Even so, we cannot allow fascists to cross our position. The next counterattack, I will go first, then the Bolsheviks and the Communist Youth League..."

I don't know who is doing the battle mobilization, as he said, this is the last battle.

Victor pursed his lips and smiled, thinking in his heart, he didn't know what happened to Andrei and Titov, hey, maybe they died earlier than themselves, or they had already surrendered to the Germans... .... Well, Andrei shouldn't surrender, that guy is a deadhead, but Titov can't tell, this comrade of the military commissioner is a bit too serious.

Thinking about this in his heart, Victor felt his eyelids heavier and heavier, his dizziness became stronger and stronger, but his consciousness was still very clear.

I don’t know how long it took, like it was only a few minutes, and it was as long as several centuries. He suddenly heard the screaming sound of "shoo," and then the explosion that almost shattered the eardrum, the whole The ground seemed to be overturned, and it trembled.

At the last moment when he passed out of the coma, he seemed to hear a deafening "Wula" sound, which seemed to be far away from him, but it seemed to be close at hand.

As the sun sets, the smoke of the Noskov Collective Farm has not yet cleared, and trucks carrying corpses are busy on the defensive positions outside the farm. When the last afterglow of the setting sun disappeared, several jeeps parked beside the trenches stained with blood. The door of the first car opened and Rokosovsky, who was tall and tall, got out of the car. Behind him are all members of the 16th Army Command.

The Chief of Staff Malinin took the document from a second lieutenant and read it first. Then he walked to Rokosovsky with a solemn expression and handed him the document in his hand.

The document is the statistics for this war. In the battle that lasted for six and a half hours, a total of 5,677 people from the 71st Infantry Brigade went into the battle. Among the survivors after the war, including the slightly wounded, a total of 1432 remained. The brigade commander and National Security Major Viktor Viktorovich Tarashev suffered a trauma in his abdomen and an organ spill. Chief of Staff Major Andrei Andreevich Kudriashov was killed in action. Military Commissioner Grigo Ri Semenovich Titov's legs were broken by a cannonball...

Handing the documents back to Malinin, Rokosovsky glanced at the trucks carrying the corpses, stood upright, saluted the direction of the truck, and then said to Malinin, who had also just paid the military salute: A copy of the report was sent to the Front Army Command and conveyed my personal opinion: The 16th Army is preparing to reorganize the 71st Infantry Brigade. This is a heroic unit and we need to keep their numbers."

Ma Lining nodded and turned to leave.

More than 4,000 people were lost in a battle that lasted less than seven hours. You can imagine how cruel this battle was, but for the Soviet army and the Western Front, it was a significant event. fighting. It won time for the deployment of the Western Front. In less than seven hours, Soviet troops arrived at the designated positions one after another, blocking the gap between the 16th Army and the 30th Army, and also blocked it. The Germans advanced in the direction of Istria. Most importantly, it guaranteed the supply channel from Istria to the frontline Soviet troops and prevented the 16th Army from falling into the outflank of the German army again.

In addition, for Rokosovsky, he not only needs to retain the number of the 71st Infantry Brigade, but also the remaining 1,000 soldiers. What is certain is that he has experienced such a cruel battle. After that, these surviving soldiers have become the most brave fighters. The troops reorganized with them as the core will always be powerful. The German artillery can no longer make them tremble.

The so-called deep-depth strategy is definitely not just to drag down the enemy with a vast area. At the same time, in the process of numerous blocks, retreats, and blockades, the Red Army's troops are also undergoing repeated trials. In the course of the German offensive, even if they did not encounter supply problems, they would find that the Soviet troops they faced were becoming more and more tenacious and harder to fight.
