Hearing that Major Bodo Prigola was so confident, Rokossovsky couldn't say anything more, although the other party was nominally under his command, but he would not unconditionally obey his orders like his own subordinates. So, after a few more brief explanations, he put down the phone.

When Major Pudoprigora answered the phone, his subordinate Skov happened to be next to him, and he had come to report on the situation. At this moment, hearing that Rokossovsky asked the acting division commander to arrange for people to make ****** by hand, he couldn't help but say: "Comrade acting division commander, at present, there is a shortage of all kinds of anti-tank weapons on our positions. Look, can you allocate some of the newly made ****** to our battalion? ”

"Enough, Comrade Captain." Podo Prigora impatiently interrupted Leskov's words and said angrily: "The defensive positions that your battalion has established facing the forest are only serving as a guard, and there can be no battle at all. It was impossible for the German tanks to pass through the middle of the forest. If they want to appear in front of our positions, they need to at least break through the positions of the 325th and 326th regiments. ”

"But, Comrade Acting Divisional Commander." Reskov said unwillingly: "In case the Germans really rushed from the direction of the forest, our battalion did not have any anti-tank weapons and would not be able to stop the enemy at all." After a pause, he added, "Know that the army group headquarters is right behind us." As soon as the position was breached, the enemy's tanks could rush to the entrance of the commander's headquarters in a few minutes. ”

Hearing that Leskov carried Lukin out, Podo Prigora couldn't object anymore, so he had to wave his hand, "Since you are so worried that the Germans will emerge from the forest where you are, then you can arrange for someone to make ****** by hand." However, if you don't see the enemy's tanks by this time tomorrow, all the ****** you have made will be surrendered and sent to support the other two regiments. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, Comrade Acting Division Commander." Leskov replied weakly: "Allow me to go back to the troops?" ”

"Go, go, go." Major Podo Prigora had been looking at Leskov as an eyesore, but since he offered to return to the unit, he hurriedly said: "After you return to the unit, don't say to the commanders and fighters below that the enemy may appear, so as not to cause panic among everyone." ”

After the first German attack was repulsed, the defensive area where Rokossovsky was located was rushing to repair the fortifications; Major Puerto Prigola is organizing commanders and fighters to fill ****** for friendly troops. At this time, the troops led by Ferip, successfully passed through the forest and came to the rear of a German artillery position.

Standing next to a tree at the edge of the forest, Fripp raised his binoculars and looked at the German artillery positions in the distance, only to see the artillerymen nervously carrying the shells and looking ready to start a new round of shelling. The German infantrymen, who were on guard, had nothing to do next to them, sitting in groups of three or five chatting, and even the machine guns erected on sandbags were empty.

Seeing this situation, Kochetov, who had come with Felip on a mission, was a little breathless, and he whispered to Felip: "Comrade Captain, what are we waiting for, rush over immediately and kill the Germans by surprise." ”

Perip put down his binoculars, glared at him, and said, "No, we are almost two kilometers away from the German artillery positions here. If we had launched an attack now, we would have not gone far and the German infantry, who had been on alert, would have been ready for battle, and our attack would have been in vain. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Kochetov asked a little anxiously.

Felip smiled, pointed to Kochetov's uniform with his hand, and said: "Comrade Ensign, don't forget, we are wearing German uniforms. The next thing we have to do is swagger along the road towards the enemy's position. When we get close to the artillery position, and then launch a surprise attack, I think we should be able to successfully end the enemy's artillery position. ”

"That's right, Comrade Captain, you're right." When Kochetov heard Felip say this, he immediately said confidently: "The Germans never dreamed that we would touch their back, so the sight of a troop of troops wearing the same uniform on the road will definitely give them the illusion that we are going somewhere for reinforcements." ”

Perip nodded, and then ordered, "Ensign, assemble the team and prepare to go." ”

A few minutes later, on the improvised road leading to the German artillery position, a heavily armed German army appeared, walking along the road with a neat pace towards the location of the artillery position.

The sentry who was on guard at the artillery position soon spotted the unit that had appeared out of nowhere, and he hurriedly called his commander: "Mr. Captain, come and see, a unit has appeared behind us. ”

The German captain came over, actually looked in the direction of the sentry with a telescope, then put down the telescope, and said disapprenously: "It's our own people, don't be nervous." ”

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the artillery position, the enemy did not react at all, not even a single person who came to interrogate. Seeing this, Kochetov's face showed a relaxed expression, and he whispered to Felip next to him: "Comrade Captain, your method is really good, the Germans have treated us as their own people, and so far there is no reaction at all. ”

The expression on Felip's face was not relaxed at all, and he whispered to Kochetov: "Ensign, pass it down, and everyone get ready for battle." With the sound of my guns, as soon as my guns sounded, I immediately launched an attack on the enemy's artillery positions. ”

"Understood," Kochetov agreed, then turned his head to the warrior behind him and said: "Pass down, get ready for battle." When you hear the gunshots, you immediately attack the enemy......"

"Pass down, get ready for battle, hear the gunshots ......"

"Passing down ......"

In just two or three minutes, the order given by Felip reached the ears of every soldier, and everyone gently opened the safety of the gun and prepared to shoot. (To be continued.) )
