With a steel helmet on his head in one hand, Vaskov bent over and ran into an anti-aircraft machine-gun position covered with camouflage nets, lying on a sandbag and raising his binoculars to look into the distance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He quickly understood the enemy's strength, opening the way with two tanks No. 4 armed with 75 mm short-barreled guns, and behind the tanks were five armored vehicles full of soldiers.

Vaskov put down his binoculars, still lying on the sandbag and silently thought: how should we deal with the two German tanks, the 14.5 mm quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun behind him, even if it is equipped with armor-piercing shells, must be at a distance of 100 meters to have a chance to penetrate the frontal armor of this tank. And it can easily destroy its fortifications with high-explosive shells from a distance of 500 meters.

Seeing Vaskov's silence, a female soldier lying next to him couldn't help but ask in a bit of a panic: "Comrade Sergeant, what should we do?" If the German tanks and armored vehicles rushed up, we would either be killed or taken prisoner. ”

"Don't worry." Vaskov retracted himself, sat on the ground with his back against the sandbag, turned to the female soldier and said, "The enemy is far away from us now, and when their tanks and armored vehicles come, our reinforcements should also arrive." ”

"When will our reinforcements arrive?" The female soldier also followed Vaskov's example, sat down with her back against the sandbag, and asked like chaff: "What if the Germans rush at us before they arrive?" ”

Without waiting for Vaskov to answer, several other panicked female soldiers also surrounded him and asked nervously: "Comrade Sergeant, tell me what we should do if the reinforcements have not yet arrived when the enemy rushes over?" ”

Large beads of sweat appeared on Vaskov's forehead, he wiped them on his face, smiled reluctantly at everyone, and pretended to be calm: "Comrades, do you know who the female comrade who just came is? She was the political commissar of the Jewish Order, and since she was relieved and bold to stay here, it seemed to her that these enemies were not to be feared at all. ”

Vaskov's remarks somewhat played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, after all, the arrival of Borisova was witnessed by many people. Seeing the relieved expressions on the faces of the female soldiers, he tried his best to say lightly: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. This female regimental political commissar had sent Lida to the group army medical station with me a few days ago, and the reason why she appeared here today was because she went to the town to pick up Lida's mother and child, and happened to be passing by us. ”

As soon as Lida's name was mentioned, a female soldier forgot that a few hundred meters away, the muzzle of the German tank's black hole was pointing in her direction, and asked Vaskov a little excitedly: "Comrade Sergeant, last time you took Lida and her sisters to stop the enemy, and you were awarded the Order of the Red Banner by your superiors. If we had beaten the enemy back today, would we have been able to receive the Order of the Red Banner? ”

"Order of the Red Banner?!" Another female soldier next to her said disdainfully: "Do you still think that anyone can get the Order of the Red Banner?" After we have repelled the enemy's attack, I will be satisfied with an ordinary medal. ”

While the female soldiers were chattering around Vaskov, Borisova finally waited for a call back from the battalion commander. The battalion commander respectfully said to Borisova: "Hello, Comrade Political Commissar of the regiment, I have just consulted the division commander, and he ordered me to send troops to reinforce the Huihua station. In half an hour at most, one of the companies I sent will be able to reach you. ”

After listening to this, Borisova asked with a solemn expression: "Comrade Major, the reinforcements you sent, do they carry anti-tank weapons?" ”

The battalion commander paused for a moment and replied: "They carry twenty anti-tank grenades, which are enough to deal with enemy tanks." Comrade Political Commissar of the regiment, rest assured, I believe that our brave soldiers will be able to destroy all the invading enemies. ”

For the confidence of the battalion commander, Borisova could only smile bitterly. "Comrade Major, know that anti-tank grenades can come in handy only when our fighters are only twenty meters from the enemy's tanks. If the enemy's tanks have been stopped at a distance and fired at a distance, then we will not be able to take them at all. ”

German tanks and armored vehicles stopped at a distance of six or seven hundred meters from the Huirang Station. The German lieutenant, sitting in an armored car, raised his binoculars and looked at the nearby Huirang station. Aside from a row of modest bungalows and railroad tracks that extend from the Huirang station, there is no movement in sight.

The German lieutenant muttered to himself: "Strange, according to our reconnaissance report, the Russians have troops stationed in this station, why can't they see a single figure?" Could it be that our information is wrong? ”

While he was pondering, the operator with headphones on his head suddenly turned his head and reported to him: "Mr. Lieutenant, the tank crew is asking, when will we rush into Huilin Station?" ”

"Wait a minute, let them wait a little longer." The failure to see the movement of the station made the German lieutenant feel uneasy, and he instructed the operator: "Tell them that they are all in place until they have received my orders, and that no one is allowed to act without permission." ”

"Understood!" The operator agreed, then shouted at the microphone and relayed the lieutenant's words to the tankmen in the tank in front.

The lieutenant continued to search the station with his binoculars raised, and finally saw a sandbag fortification covered with camouflage nets on the edge of the woods to the left of the bungalow. After snorting softly, he instructed the operator: "Tell the tankmen that on the left side of the bungalow there is a Russian fortification on the edge of the woods, and immediately destroy it with artillery fire." ”

His order, which was quickly conveyed to the tank crews through the operator. With the sound of artillery, the shells fired by the tanks landed next to the air defense positions, and the air waves of the explosion overturned the piles of sandbags, and the flying shrapnel tore through the camouflage nets on the antiaircraft machine guns, completely exposing the dilapidated air defense positions in broad daylight.

Seeing that the anti-aircraft fortifications where they were hiding were discovered by the enemy, and the sandbags were also blown up, the girls, who were not injured at all, suddenly panicked. A girl stood up desperately and ran forward along the railroad tracks.

"Come back, come back quickly, don't run around!" Seeing that the female soldiers had actually escaped from the air defense fortifications, Vaskov ran along the railway, quickly leaned out half of her body, and shouted loudly: "Lie down, lie down!" ......" Before he could finish his words, the second shell fired by the German tank flew over and exploded not far behind the female soldier.

The blast and the flying shrapnel forced Vaskov to bend down temporarily. When he poked out again, he saw the female soldier standing next to a crater that was still smoking, with her hands behind her back, covering her lower back, her body slowly turned around, and she glanced at Vaskov with desperate eyes, and then plunged headlong into the crater that had just formed.

Seeing this, Vaskov, not caring that the enemy would shell again, turned over and jumped out of the fortifications, bent over and ran towards the place where the female soldier fell. When there were still two or three meters of the crater, he jumped into it. After falling into the pit, he leaned sideways and hugged the female soldier, and found that the other party had already lost his breath, and only the place where the shrapnel hit him in the back was still suddenly bulging blood blisters.

"Damn the Germans," Vaskov cursed viciously, letting go of the female soldier's body, turning over the crater, and bending over and quickly running back to the anti-aircraft position. He shouted at the remaining female soldiers: "Go to Kirianova and inform her to push the 37-mm anti-aircraft guns here, and the rest continue to stay and fight." ”

Seeing a female soldier bending down and running out of the position, rushing into the forest, and when it came time to find Kiryanova in the village behind the station, Vaskov skillfully adjusted the angle of fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Ammunition man, hurry up and reload me." ”

"The ammunition hand has been sacrificed." A chubby female soldier next to her replied.

"Then you're going to load me!" Vaskov yelled at the female soldier.

After skillfully loading the magazines into place, the female soldier replied loudly: "Comrade sergeant, the ammunition is loaded, and it is all armor-piercing." ”

After putting the German tank into the scope, Vaskov decisively stepped on the gun button under his feet. With the roar of anti-aircraft machine guns, a long line of bullets was fired at the German tanks in the distance.

The German lieutenant, who was holding a telescope to observe the results of the battle, suddenly saw the sparks splashing on the tank body in front of him and heard the sound of bullets clanging on the armor, and he couldn't help but shrink down in fright and crouched down. After a while, he heard the two tanks in front of him continuing to fire at the concession station, and straightened up again. He even joked with his subordinates next to him: "It seems that the Russians' weapons are not good, and at such a distance, they want to use anti-aircraft machine guns to penetrate the armor of our tanks, which is simply a pipe dream." ”

Hearing him say this, the German soldiers sitting in the car burst out laughing, and everyone brazenly mocked the Russian soldiers who were overwhelmed in the station.

Although there were three anti-aircraft positions in the Huirang station, because the other two were behind the platform of the Huirang station, the bungalow blocked their view, so only the anti-aircraft position where Vaskov was located was fighting alone. Sergeant Kirianova, the deputy platoon commander who remained behind, heard the report of the female soldiers who ran from the front, and immediately called seven or eight fighters, and everyone pushed a 37-mm anti-aircraft gun with four wheels to advance towards the anti-aircraft position where Vaskov was located.

Seeing that the anti-aircraft fortifications where they were hiding were discovered by the enemy, and the sandbags were also blown up, the girls, who were not injured at all, suddenly panicked. A girl stood up desperately and ran forward along the railroad tracks.
