Chapter 1285: Blowing Up the Bridge

The only Type 1124 river gunboat, it arrived at the right place at a critical time.

That's how it happened! When the Germans began to break through from the railway bridge in an organized and planned way, the heavy fire of the Soviet army was on the river, and its two 76mm tank guns and four Maxim machine guns began to frantically suppress the enemy on the west side of the bridge.

"Oops! How can the Russians still have such gunboats! The German battalion gritted his teeth angrily, "Machine gunner, shoot at the enemy ships for me!" ”

MG34 and ZB26 poured fire on the gunboat, and the helmsman quickly fled to the engine room, and the ship slowed down, maintaining a dynamic balance with the current.

The gunboat's armor was immune to normal bullets, and the 7.92 mm heavy machine gun bullets could not penetrate its shell at all.

The appearance and attack of the gunboats really saved the Soviet troops who planted the bombs.

The Soviet platoon commander, who was in the front row and was responsible for the most difficult blocking task, immediately ordered the troops to move back. Seeing that the four rocket shells were finally placed, all the soldiers on the bridge rushed to the east, except for one half-kneeling soldier, who was not afraid to move.

The warrior was only a hundred meters away from the four rockets, and he carried the RPG and roared loudly: "You all run back, I'm about to shoot!" ”

With a urge, the warrior ran faster. They ran there, but ran for their lives!

Even the RPG warrior knew he was playing with his life. Doesn't he know the effective killing distance of the catfish rocket? A hundred meters away is already the limit of the safety zone, and the shock wave will not shock him, but the debris fragments flying sideways due to the explosion can easily kill him.

The platoon commander, who had just withdrawn, knew what this man was going to do, and at the last moment, he asked loudly: "Dear Davarich, do you know that at such a close distance, you will be affected and die!" ”

"I know! However, sacrificing one of my people so that the enemy cannot cross the bridge is worth it! ”

"Alright! Comrade, what's your name!? ”

"Alexander Aleksandevich Aleksandenov!"

"Good! I remember your name! You're a hero! ”

For the sake of honor, for the sake of his compatriots, and for the sake of victory, he was willing to be this glorious sacrifice.

Seeing that his comrades had withdrawn to safety, the fighter pulled the trigger.

The RPG missile jammed its tail and drove the entire body to rotate to achieve a gyroscopic effect. The level of bombardment of this Aleksandnov was quite high, he knew that he was bound to hit with one shot, and he knew even more what to do after launch.

This is not an act of carrying an explosive bag and dying with the enemy, Aleksandnov instantly lay on the ground, and the moment he touched the ground, there was a violent tremor of the earth, and a deafening explosion! He held his hands on the ground, and there was a gap between the spiritual drive and the target, so in the explosion, his internal organs did not suffer a fatal tremor, but the muscles of his body were still shaken soft, and his mental consciousness suddenly disappeared. The soldier passed out......

The explosion took place in the eyes of the Soviet troops!

Four rocket shells exploded almost simultaneously, and the powerful ability tore through the railway bridge, shattering five piers! Under the powerful force, the bridge was broken into three sections, and serious cracks appeared on the bridge deck that had not yet been broken, and the entire bridge was finished!

A large number of bricks, cement blocks, and metal fragments fell like hail into the Dnieper, hitting people nearby, both friend and foe.

The stones gave the ambushed Soviet soldiers a blow to their heads and faces, and some people were even injured by stones.

Rychev looked left and right, then raised his binoculars to see what was going on on the bridge deck. The second company had already begun to retreat, but a few men still rushed back.

The retreating Soviet soldiers pulled back as many of their casualties as possible, and their casualties in this battle were negligible, with only two killed on the spot and seven wounded.

Is that RPG who risked his life to shoot dead? He's too close to the place where the explosion is!

Then the smoke cleared, and some paratroopers saw that the man was lying calmly, as if he was simply prostrate.

The platoon commander led the man back, and after a little examination, the soldier had no obvious injuries, and then gently pinched his neck, and found that there were also veins.

"You're so lucky, now you can't die! Brothers, pull this guy back. ”

Rychev's troops were able to retreat in their entirety, and he had to admit that the gunboat had arrived at a very timely time. Even if the current enemy learned that he could not cross the bridge and had to begin to shrink and retreat, the bombardment of gunboats did not stop.

It was like a floating fortress, and the enemy could not help it, and if he attacked rashly, he would be killed to the ground by the gunboat's fire.

……

The mood of the German soldiers was quite good, and those puppet soldiers almost had a nervous breakdown. They suffered more than 30 casualties, and thanks to Soviet firepower, they could not even bring the wounded back.

The devastating artillery bombardment of the Soviet army failed to break the spirit of the German battalion commander, because he was still able to lead the soldiers to escape from the bridge, and now the final escape has been interrupted.

You can't break through head-on! If he had done so, all the officers and men would have been exposed to an open area up to a kilometer long, killed by enemy fire.

In order to avoid the fire of the Soviet army, the German and puppet troops retreated into the city along the streets leading to the bridge.

Everyone was out of breath, and everyone's eyes were full of confusion.

What's next? Fight? Or surrender?

The deputy battalion commander planned to listen to the battalion commander's decision, but he never thought that the battalion commander finally had a nervous breakdown.

I saw that he actually took the muzzle of Luger's pistol in his mouth!

"Nope! Stop! ”

Syllable!

With a single sound, a man covered in dust fell.

The vast number of German troops and puppet troops were dumbfounded, and the death of the German battalion commander was simply announced to all personnel with practical actions, or it was better to give up resistance.

The puppet army was the first to become agitated, and some of them actually decided to throw their weapons and surrender, and called on their compatriots.

However, after a burst of gunshots, such people also collapsed in pools of blood.

A puppet army officer bared his teeth and roared; "Idiot! Are any of you going to follow this group of idiots? Surrender? Do you think that if you surrender, the Stalinists will bypass your life? Bah! All those who surrendered were brutally killed. What's more, the families of some of you are in the city, and you surrender, what will happen to your women? Do you want to watch them being insulted by the Stalinists? ”

This remark was very impactful, and the demoralized puppet army actually cheered up.

The deputy battalion commander of the German army was also surprised, he knew that these Belarusians were in the service of the German army in order to resist Stalin's tyranny. The so-called "service" is actually the above rhetoric, in fact, they are the best allies of the local garrison, and they are quite hard at the disposal of the guerrillas.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the deputy battalion commander shouted loudly in public: "The battalion commander is dead, and now I will take over the work of the battalion commander!" The breakout operation was a complete failure, we were indeed surrounded by the Russians, and we could only rely on the city for defense! We don't go out of the city to fight, all the staff rely on the streets to defend, as long as the enemy dares to attack, we will destroy them at the intersection! We must hold the enemy back until reinforcements arrive. Now, let's do it now! ”
