In the face of the small-scale onslaught of the German army, the real Rokossovsky would never show the slightest panic, but the commander of the mechanized army standing in the observation post at the moment was Tang Shaohua, a Xibei goods, and it was not surprising that he seemed panicked because of nervousness. But after all, he was a former soldier, and when he found that the number of German tanks, armored vehicles, and soldiers rushing towards him was very limited, his mood became calm again, and he knew in his heart that with the little strength of the German army, it was impossible to break through the ambush position composed of tanks and artillery in front of him.
Due to the long march of the Germans and the sudden attack, although their response was timely, they were unable to concentrate more troops and technical equipment to attack the Soviet positions in the forest. The assault force, consisting of one tank, three armored vehicles and a dozen motorcycles, was intercepted by artillery fire from the artillery regiment as it rushed into the forest. At the end of the shelling, the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed and burned like bonfires, and the soldiers on the motorcycles were also killed and wounded, except for a few who were lucky enough to escape on motorcycles, the rest were all corpses strewn around the craters.
Seeing that the small-scale attack of the German army was repulsed, Rokossovsky's heart suddenly became much more steady, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, turned his head to Chernyaev, who was holding the microphone, and said: "Colonel, the artillerymen did a really good job and pushed the Germans back. β
Seeing that Rokossovsky had returned to normal, Chernyaev couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he said into the microphone: "Brothers, Comrade Commander has praised you, saying that you have done a good job, continue to keep it up, and strive to eliminate more fascist bandits with artillery fire." β
He put down the microphone, walked over to Rokossovsky's body, looked out through the lookout, and asked: "Comrade commander, do you say that the Germans will attack?" β
"There is no doubt about it, Comrade Colonel." Rokossovsky affirmed: "The reason why they have just dispatched only a few combat vehicles and a few dozen soldiers is because they are on the march, and the marching columns are too scattered to gather more forces for a while." By the time they came into view, at least a dozen or twenty tanks had cleared the way and charged behind hundreds of soldiers. β
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Chernyaev confidently said: "Since we can repel one of their attacks, we can also repel their second and third attacks." β
As he spoke, Novikov walked into the observation post, followed by a soldier in the uniform of a tank soldier with a careful radio on his back. He walked up to Rokossovsky, raised his hand and saluted, and reported: "Comrade commander, I have conveyed your order, and at the same time I have brought back a communications soldier who can keep in touch with the tank units at any time. β
"Very well, Comrade General, you are doing a good job." Seeing that Novikov had thought so thoroughly, Rokossovsky couldn't help but praise him twice, and then pointed to the empty table by the wall and said: "Let the communications corps put the radio there!" β
When Novikov was holding the communications corpsman and setting up the radio, Rokossovsky suddenly remembered something and asked Chernyaev in a low voice: "Comrade Colonel, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. β
"What's the matter, Comrade Commander?" Chernyaev asked with some confusion.
"Where's that girl?" Rokossovsky asked coldly.
"Girl, what girl?" Chernyaev asked with a blank face: "There are no women in our troops?" β
"It's the girl who went back to Lublin overnight to help her mother get medicine," Rokossovsky saw that Chernyaev didn't know, and a trace of dissatisfaction welled up in his heart, "She should still be there when I led the troops out of the city." β
"Comrade commander, I really don't know about this girl." Finding out that Rokossovsky was asking about this matter, Chernyaev said with a sad face: "I thought you had let her go a long time ago......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the roar of tanks. The two hurriedly turned their heads to follow the prestige, only to see a group of tanks coming along the road to the west.
"Colonel, immediately call the artillerymen and get them ready for battle." Rokossovsky saw clearly that the tank was still followed by armored vehicles and motorcycles, so he immediately calmly gave orders to the two: "General Novikov, you also immediately contact the tank crews, let them prepare for battle, and when the Germans are repulsed by artillery, they will immediately attack." β
After driving some distance forward, the German tanks slowed down and formed into battle formation, and then one after another, three-wheeled motorcycles, out of the gap left between the tanks, drove quickly into the forest. The Germans, having just experienced the shelling, thought that the ambush in the forest was only an artillery unit of the Soviet army, at most plus a small number of infantry protecting the artillery positions. Therefore, the German command let the motorcycles rush to the front, in order to take advantage of the speed advantage of the motorcycles, rush up to destroy the Soviet artillery, and clear the way for the tanks and armored vehicles behind.
Seeing the large number of motorcycles approaching closer and closer, Rokossovsky put down his binoculars, turned his head and ordered Chernyaev: "Comrade Colonel, order the artillery regiment to open fire!" β
"Yes!" Chernyaev agreed, ran to the telephone quickly, picked it up, and said loudly into the microphone: "The artillery regiment fires!" β
With Chernyaev's order, the artillery regiment hidden in the forest opened fire. As the screams rang out, the shells made a beautiful arc in the air and smashed into the dense queue of German motorcycles. In the smoke and dust in the sky, thousands of shrapnel burst out of the shells, intertwined with each other into layers of impermeable nets, harvesting fresh lives near the explosion site. In the rising black smoke, the wreckage of torn motorcycles and the severed arms of German soldiers were thrown into the air by the air waves, and then fell like rain.
Although the artillery regiment was under heavy fire, seven or eight German motorcycles rushed out of the smoke and continued to rush to the artillery positions in the forest. Seeing this, Rokossovsky put down his binoculars again, turned around and gave a decisive order to Novikov, who was standing next to the radio: "Comrade General, order the tank crews to open fire with on-board machine guns and knock out all the German motorcyclists who rushed over." β
